Naturally, money is not so easy to earn, and although the gentlemen are extravagant and wasteful, they are not stupid.
Therefore, Li Muyun's main purpose in recruiting them over this time is to get vaccinated first, so that they can talk to the old people in the family after they go back, and at the same time openly and secretly reveal that there are big people behind the whole thing.
The big man, the big man in Li Muyun's mouth, Man Chang'an, knows who it is, as the righteous son of the Emperor Li Yuan, His Majesty the Emperor trusts the righteous brother, as long as he doesn't rebel, he can do whatever he wants in the Tang Dynasty.
Two months ago in Liangzhou in the northwest, Cheng Yanjin stood on top of the city, looking at the southwest, and a large number of tents spread to the end of the sky, which was the army that wanted to be muddy.
This small country living between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo didn't know what was crazy, and even wanted to take advantage of the Tang Dynasty, and sent tens of thousands of troops to Liangzhou.
After looking at the pergola for a long time, when it was hazy and unclear, Lao Cheng seemed to think of something, and stretched out his hand to Su Lie beside him: "Bring it" "What" Su Lie reflexively took two steps back.
"The telescope Lao Tzu won't rob you, what are you afraid of."
Cheng bit the golden bull's eyes and said with a grin.
On the way to Liangzhou, Su Lie inadvertently took out a telescope to observe the terrain and landforms during a march, but he happened to be seen by Lao Cheng, and as a result, the old guy was worried about the telescope, and borrowed it if he had nothing to do.
Su Lie was afraid that Lao Cheng would not return it, so he kept the telescope close to him, borrowed it, he had to hold it himself, and wherever Lao Cheng wanted to look, he would turn it around, and he would never hand it over to Lao Cheng.
This time, it was naturally the same old rule, Su Lie reluctantly took out the telescope from his arms, wiped it carefully, and raised his two hands and just wanted to put them in front of Lao Cheng's eyes, he was accidentally snatched by the old goods.
"Hey" Seeing that the telescope was snatched away, Su Lie jumped to his feet anxiously, but Lao Cheng, this guy was thick-skinned, so he didn't pay attention to him at all, and pointed to the city and said: "Go and go, go down and count the grain and grass, and report the number at night." ” Count the fart, did you just count it yesterday Su Lie stared at the telescope that fell into Lao Cheng's hand and wanted to cry without tears.
Cheng Biting Jin's big eyes rolled, he took the thing in his hand and said: "You guy is in a hurry, your brother-in-law made the thing, you just let him get another one, it's really stingy." ” took other people's things, and said that others were stingy, although Su Lie knew the temper of Lao Cheng, he was still trembling with anger, right now there is only one telescope in the entire Tang Dynasty, and he is also good at talking about borrowing it from his sister However, Lao Cheng ignored Su Lie at this time, and looked at the big camp in the distance with an iron cylinder, and muttered while watching: "Hmm, good, good things, I really saw it clearly, well, I saw the enemy's handsome flag, hey, it turned out that the spit Khan didn't come, oops, they were actually killing cattle, it's so cruel" Su Lie really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he simply turned around and left without seeing his eyes and mind, this old man is not a good person, and it is a shame to stand with him.
Looking back, Lao Su felt that he was also a fool, you said that there was such an old thing guarding by your side, and it was okay to take the telescope out to show something, now it's okay, the thing was taken away by the old thing, who is going to reason with this, or write to tell my sister, remember that she doesn't worry about that thing anymore.
Lao Su, who was depressed, wrote a sincere letter to Su Wanqing with a depressed heart, confessing his mistakes and bitterly expressing the shamelessness of Chen Cheng's old husband.
A month and a half later, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lao Su received a receipt from Chang'an in a small box.
Lao Su, who was ashamed, opened the box with apprehension, however, there was no letter in the box, only another box, Lao Su continued to open it in wonder, and then it was still a box.
Back and forth, over and over again, Su Lie opened a total of six boxes, and saw a series of hahaha on the last box, and after he opened it angrily, a delicate small cylinder appeared in front of him, and there was a note under the small cylinder: Open it and take a look.
A few days later, Lao Cheng had to gather all the generals to observe the enemy's movements above the city, holding a telescope with a layer of pulp that had been rubbed, and when he was humming, he was stunned to find that Su Lie next to him also took out a thing, only to see that the thing was only the length of a finger, made of pure copper, and flashed with gold-like brilliance in the sun.
Su Lie didn't squint, twisted his hands slightly, and then pulled it, and pulled the pure copper object nearly half a foot long, and then raised it in front of him.
Looking at the high-end and high-grade things of others, and then looking at the iron cylinder in his hand, Lao Cheng felt very ow, really ow, so he silently put away the telescope that had been ground out of the pulp in his hand.
Chang'an, Li Shimin walked around and around in the study, and finally couldn't help it, and ordered the eunuch Lao Long: "You, you go and find that bastard Li Muyun, right away, go quickly" The old dragon agreed, flew away, and in less than half an hour, he came back with a confused Li Muyun.
"Look at the good things you did" As soon as he entered the room, before Li Muyun could figure out the situation, Li Er had already thrown a piece of broken paper at his feet, startling him.
Could it be that the incident a few days ago can't be done, but it's just a palace maid, shouldn't it be so angry Li Muyun withstood a cold sweat, lowered his head and picked up the broken paper on the ground, and after reading it hastily, he immediately laughed.
Thinking of the battle report sent back by Liangzhou, Li Er felt that his liver hurt, and slapped the table and scolded: "Laugh, you still dare to laugh, just that one What a broken telescope, my two generals almost fought, Li Muyun, you bastard, you come and tell me, how to solve this matter" Li Muyun shrunk his neck, smacked his lips and said, "Brother Huang, it's just a telescope, and it's not a big deal, why don't you get some more and send them down." ” Li Shimin was so angry when he heard this, and said in his heart that if Lao Tzu knew what a telescope was, he would have to come to you Fortunately, the eunuch Lao Long observed the words and saw a little way, and came out to play a round and said: "King Xiaoyao, what kind of thing is this telescope, can you tell us about it?"
"Oh, that's a simple thing, a piece of reading glasses, plus a piece of myopia glasses, just find a tube and put it on."
Li Muyun explained the principle succinctly, this kind of thing is actually just a thing, anyway, he doesn't expect Li Shimin and the eunuch Lao Long to be able to get a telescope by themselves.
But his explanation still made Li Shimin a little depressed, glared at him and said: "You mean that several generals under me fought for two broken crystal tablets and had a blue nose and swollen face."
Li Muyun touched his nose in embarrassment, the telescope was something he made up for a while, who would have thought that Cheng Yan and Su Lie would fight over that thing.
Besides, because of the relationship of transmittance, the quality of the telescopes in this period of Datang is not comparable with the telescopes of later generations, and it is basically not far from the quality of children's toys.
According to this logic, if you get the kind of infrared telescopes or thermal imagers and other equipment in later generations, you must not play out the dog's brain Li Muyun secretly laughed at the turtles who were thousands of miles away, thinking that Li Shimin still needed to deal with it by himself, so he had to stiffen his head and say: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that, the minister actually wanted to say that the telescope was actually just a gadget, just used to coax children to play, and the minister also made up such a one in order to coax Wanqing to be happy." ” As a result, Li Muyun didn't explain it, but the more he explained, the more angry Li Shimin became, at first it was still two crystal pieces, which were more or less related to culture and technology, but after explaining it again, it became a children's toy, and Cheng Yanjin and Su Lie fought for a toy Li Killer may also feel that this explanation is a little wrong, scratched his head and thought about it before saying: "Well, actually, the minister doesn't mean that, you know, I'm stupid and can't speak." ” Li Er really couldn't bear Li Muyun, and waved his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, okay, you shut your mouth for me, from now on, you just need to tell me if this thing can be made again." ” "Noh is yes, but it takes a lot of colorless crystals, that thing."
Li Shimin didn't want to listen to a word of nonsense now, so he didn't wait for Li Muyun to finish speaking, so he said directly: "Crystal yes, I will mobilize a batch for you, and I will give you three days to make fifty branches." ” Li Muyun blinked his eyes, with joy and worry in his heart, and said to Li Er with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood, this crystal actually still has to be processed, and it can't be done in half a month just by polishing it, so three days is really not enough." ” Li Shimin looked Li Muyun up and down, as if he was confirming the truth of what he said, but fortunately, things were not so anxious, so he thought about it and said: "Then half a month, if you can't see fifty telescopes after half a month, I will discount your legs." ” Li Muyun nodded hurriedly: "Cheng, no problem, but you have to match this manpower."
Li Shimin snorted and said, "You can deploy whoever you need, and I will give you a hand." ” "Nacheng, Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister will definitely do it properly for you."
Li Muyun nodded and was very dog-legged, but his heart was already about to bloom, thinking about how to go to Changle in front of the little girl for a while
