People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 704 Telescope

Looking down at the sand under his feet, he looked at the bones, which looked like they were old.

All the gold was removed?If someone really stole all the gold, it would be impossible to take it all away.

Because the amount of gold was too much, few people left the city of Xizhou.

It's the windy season again recently, and no one would think of leaving in this season.

There is no bulk goods out of the city.

No matter how you think about it, even if the gold is removed, it cannot escape the eyes of the Jingyang guards.

Where did all the gold go?

Li Ke walked out of the vault to meet the old man who had shown him the vault.

"Where did the gold go?" Li Ke asked.

"The gold is gone?" The old man was also a little surprised, but he was only surprised for a while and then smiled and said: "Don't worry, the general, they will come back in a few days."

"Will you come back?"

"Yeah." The old man nodded and said, "Yes, every time the wind season comes, the gold will disappear for a while, and then come back."

Hearing what this old man said was very evil.

Li Ke returned to the top of the city, discussing with Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance said: "So, the gold seems to have disappeared out of thin air?"

Li Ke nodded.

Wang Xuance took a deep breath, "This Xizhou City is really evil, I don't want to stay here anymore, recently there have been a few waves of big cannibals, and they all left after looking at it from a distance."

In the Western Regions in the middle of the night, every time a strong wind blows, there is a cry.

It sounds creepy.

Changan.

Li Shimin is in a good mood recently, and received a battle report from Li Ke two days ago.

Li Ke led a thousand guards to take down Xizhou City in the Western Regions.

Xizhou City is an important commercial road in the Western Regions. Songtsan Gampo has spent a lot of time thinking about Xizhou City in the past two years.

Still haven't got Xizhou City.

Unexpectedly, Li Ke led 1000 people to take down this Xizhou city.

Walking in the village of Jingyang, Wang Ding took Li Shimin to find Li Zheng outside the laboratory.

Li Zheng put a big lock on the laboratory.

Li Yifu glanced at Li Shimin who came from a distance and said, "Chang'an Order, Your Majesty has come."

After confirming that the lock of the laboratory is OK, Li Zheng looked at Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Li Shimin looked at the laboratory and said, "Why did you lock this room?"

Li Zheng also looked back at the laboratory behind him and explained: "It will not be used for a long time in the future, and I don't plan to continue to do other things."

Looking at it curiously again, Li Shimin said, "Can I go in and have a look."

Li Zheng hesitated for a while and said, "Not for now."

"Forget it." Li Shimin didn't care about it, and said again: "I received the battle report from the Western Regions, and you also received it?"

Li Zheng nodded, "It's the windy season in the Western Regions now, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu needs a place to stay. Xizhou is indeed a very good place."

Glancing at Li Shimin's face, Li Yifu said, "Chang'an Order, I have to go with Shangguanyi to pack the cotton."

Li Zheng nodded: "You go to work first."

After Li Yifu left, Li Shimin said, "The Shangguanyi he mentioned just now is your newly appointed magistrate of Jingyang County?"

"Recently, there is a shortage of manpower, especially those who are good at scheduling and coordinating arrangements."

"There is also a shortage of people in the court."

He took Li Shimin to the river in Jingyang, and the two sat opposite each other.

Wang Ding stood not far away and looked around.

Li Shimin said, "I heard that you are going to send some people to Tibet."

Li Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's news is really well-informed."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "So many people in Jingyang know about it."

It is indeed not a secret to send people to Tibet again.

Many people in Jingyang know about this.

Daniel and Li Zhi came with clay stove and tea set.

The small clay stove is filled with river water, and then the clay stove is lit to boil tea.

The tea is boiling, and the tea leaves are set aside.

There are also some pastries on the table.

Li Zheng handed Li Shimin a dried persimmon and said, "Your Majesty, this is a freshly made dried persimmon from Jingyang. Your Majesty, try it."

Li Shimin took a bite of the persimmon cake, tasted it and said, "It's soft and sweet, not bad."

Li Zheng also ate and said, "It's just a little too sweet."

Looking at Wang Ding who was standing aside, Li Zheng said, "Would you like to taste it, Eunuch Wang?"

Wang Ding waved his hand and said, "The old slave's teeth are not very good recently, so I dare not eat sweets."

A small clay stove was burning water, and Daniu and Li Zhi sat beside him quietly.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "I also plan to send some people to Tibet during this time."

"send troops?"

"No." Li Shimin shook his head and said, "I just sent people to Tubo to see the current situation in Tubo. Li Ke has occupied Xizhou City. I think Li Ke will not be able to hold on to Xizhou after the windy season in the Western Regions. State."

Xizhou is a crucial place on the Silk Road.

Since the Han Dynasty, the Silk Road has been very important. Controlling this Silk Road also strengthened the control of the Central Plains over the Western Regions.

In addition, Dashi has already started the Eastern Expedition.

The Western Regions are the largest buffer zone between the Central Plains and the West.

If there is a loss in the Western Regions, the West can skip the Western Regions and go straight to the Central Plains.

But fortunately, the environment in the Western Regions is very bad, and it is difficult to lead an army all the way across the Western Regions.

Li Shimin added: "I intend to send thousands of people to Tubo, this matter will not pass the resolution of the court, but I will arrange people to go to Tubo to investigate the situation."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Li Zheng cupped his hands and said.

"Do you think my actions are wise?"

"What your Majesty does is wise."

Li Shimin smiled, "You sent people to Tubo to support Li Ke?"

"That's what it means."

After speaking, Li Zheng took out a thin and long bamboo tube and put it in front of Li Shimin.

"what is this?"

Li Shimin looked at the bamboo tube in front of him, didn't pick it up, but looked curiously.

Li Zheng picked up the bamboo tube and said, pulled out another section from the bamboo tube with one pull, and pulled another length out of the bamboo tube with another pull.

"This bamboo tube is connected together with four sections of bamboo tubes. When you usually store it, you can store it in several sections for easy storage." Li Zheng explained, then put the telescope in front of his eyes and looked into the distance, "I don't care about this." Things are called telescopes, and they are perfect for seeing things in the distance.”

"is it?"

Li Zheng put the telescope in front of Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, try it?"

Li Shimin picked up the telescope, put it in front of his eyes and looked into the distance in the way Li Zheng saw things before, "Huh? Why does this thing look so small?"

Li Zheng cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, you used it backwards."

"Really?" Li Shimin turned his telescope upside down and looked into the distance. This time, things in the distance were much closer.

"The light transmittance of the lens is not very good, the impurities are not easy to remove when firing, and there are a lot of white spots when it is used, and the viewing distance is not very far, so it is good for flexible use."
