Chapter 359 The Eve of the New Route (4,000 words)(2/2)

"Zhang Aiqing, you don't have to say it. I know. I can understand you after I say it."

Zhang Ru's heart was relieved. Is the emperor going to let him go if he said this?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Zhang Aiqing, can you do me another favor?"

"Your Majesty, it's okay to say that, I will devote myself to my dedication to you until I die!"

"Zhang Aiqing is indeed my minister of the country, so I would be wronged by Zhang Aiqing."

Zhang Ru suddenly raised her head and heard the emperor say, "Come on!"

Several imperial guards rushed in outside and rushed towards Zhang Ru, who was confused. One of them squinted his neck first, making him speechless. The other person immediately took out a rope and put it on Zhang Ru's neck.

Then, several people exerted force.

Soon, Zhang Ru was hanged to prison.

Zhao Huanwu said to himself: "After all, if you can't die at the Prime Minister's Office, you will be in trouble."

After killing Zhang Ru, the emperor turned around and left the Heavenly Prison, went to the imperial guards, and headed all the way to the palace.

News that Zhang Ru, the governor of Luoyang, committed suicide due to fear of crime, spread quickly.

However, Liu Yanzong, the inspector, keenly realized that something was wrong with this matter.

That night, he entered the palace to meet the saint, but he soon came out and never mentioned Zhang Ru's case again.

The government orders on abolishing the monthly grain of the royal family were implemented as scheduled, and the government orders for halving the officials also began to be implemented.

The Zhang Ru case was quickly calmed down as Zhang Ru committed suicide due to fear of guilt.

The court focused more on drought.

Sure enough, it didn't rain in Jiangling Mansion throughout June and the fields were dry.

People began to fetch water from the Yangtze River for irrigation, but this year's grain production is destined to be severely reduced because the drought continues to spread.

Correspondingly, the major restaurants in Tokyo City have also stopped a lot.

The government orders issued by the Political Affairs Hall to strictly enforce food waste are strictly enforced throughout Gyeonggi Road, and no one dares to disobey.

In late June, Tokyo City was like a stove.

Every evening, the sky to the west is like red flames burning the sky.

At this time, the business of the folk charlatans began to improve.

Just when the Song Dynasty entered a state of emergency, they landed in Hangzhou Port alone.

This person was Shen Lang who went overseas to find the New World three years ago on the order of the emperor.

After more than three years outside, he finally returned to the Song Dynasty.

As the emperor and censor who went out to sea, the news was immediately sent back to Tokyo City as soon as Shen Lang landed.

At that time, the emperor was still enjoying the cool breeze by the lake. When he heard that Shen Lang was back, he almost jumped up from the chair happily.

"Shen Lang is back!"

The emperor was wearing a white gown and he walked quickly in the corridor excitedly.

Shao Chengzhang chased after him: "Your Majesty, Shen Lang has not arrived in Tokyo yet, he should still be in Hangzhou Prefecture!"

Zhao Huan then calmed down: "I'm still in Hangzhou Prefecture, hurry up! Let someone! Let someone bring him back to me! Let Han Shizhong lead the former guards to ensure that Shen Lang is intact in front of me!"

No one knows what Shen Lang means to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan sent him to that new continent. Zhao Huan thought he would go to at least ten years, but he didn't expect that he would come back in less than four years!

He must have brought what Zhao Huan wanted!

Those things are the top priority in solving the basic food and clothing of the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Shao Chengzhang could not understand why the emperor mobilized the former guards in order to escort Shen Lang. He quickly ran towards Han Shizhong's army with the emperor's will.

Historian said: In the sixth year of Jingkang, there was a severe drought in the south and thousands of miles of naked land.

Of course, the historian also recorded that this year, Shen Lang returned from overseas and later had food that had never been available in the Song Dynasty.

Ten days later, Shen Lang appeared in front of Zhao Huan.

Although it has only been more than three years, Shen Lang and Zhao Huan seemed to be completely different when they bid farewell to him.

He fell at sea all year round and had his skin dark and his lips cracked. For more convenience, he cut his hair. At this time, his short hair looked particularly out of place.

"Sin Lang, please see Your Majesty!"

When Shen Lang said this, tears burst out from his eyes and flowed down his rough cheeks.

He went there for more than a thousand days and nights, and the hardships along the way were enough for him to say that it had been a whole year.

It can be said that he has never slept peacefully for more than a thousand days and nights.

He needed to fight wits and courage with pirates. He also docked in Japan and almost died in Japan.

He even encountered huge creatures on the sea and often faced storms.

Many of his crew members died of dehydration and many of them suffered from strange diseases.

When he arrived at the new continent that the emperor mentioned, a group of people died of illness because they were not suitable for the environment.

If it weren't for the help of someone in the local area, none of them would have survived.

God blesses the Song Dynasty and God blesses China.

In short, the bitterness of this is hard to describe.

Of course, Zhao Huan could imagine Shen Lang's difficulties.

He even made plans to die outside.

"Shen Aiqing, you have suffered!"

The emperor held Shen Lang's hands, and a hot light burst out from his eyes.

"I will devote my whole life to Your Majesty until I die!"

Zhang Ru, who said this, is indeed dead, but Shen Lang will never be like Zhang Ru.

Not only that, Zhao Huan also wanted Shen Lang to help the Song Dynasty open up a new world!

The flames of the industrial revolution of the Song Dynasty have been ignited by Zhao Huan, and the new voyages that accompanies the industrial revolution, will inevitably cause unprecedented storms in the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Huan believed that even if those historians exhausted their lives, they could not praise him and his achievements in this era.

The king and his subjects talked about the night of the palace with candles.

Shen Lang told Zhao Huan what he saw and heard.

Three days and three nights were just like Wei Yang and Qin Xiaogong talked about his strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army!

On the fourth day, the emperor still did not attend court or inquire about the drought in the south.
