Great Tang princess

Chapter 86 Telescope

Time has entered May, and the four-wheeled carriage has gradually emerged a prototype. The frame has been built, but a lot of adjustments are still needed.

Li Yuechen would go over there every now and then, asking if there were any problems and trying to solve them on the spot, in a hurry.

At the same time, the workshop in Jixianfang has doubled in size, and the artisans in the glass workshop who are in charge of producing magnifying glasses have been brought in, and production equipment has begun.

The concave lens is also done, and Li Yuechen has asked the craftsman to make a sleeve out of copper. In a few days, the first telescope will be born in the eastern capital of Tang Dynasty.

In the two stores in Nanshi, Wang Xiang is only in charge of selling canned food, and Chunmei is in charge of the other daily chemical store.

A few days ago, my mother Wu Zetian held a banquet and invited many female relatives from powerful families.

The queen always holds such banquets several times a year, and the wives of the powerful families will also bring their daughters to attend.

Because this kind of banquet also carries the meaning of the queen choosing a wife for her son.

It's just that at this year's banquet, the number of girls of the junior generation is much less than before.

This is because the "Tang Law Shuyi" clearly stipulates that blood relatives within three generations are not allowed to marry, so those who are related to the royal family do not need to come here.

Li Yuechen and his two elder sisters also participated in this banquet as members of the royal family, and it was also to see if they could make friends with girls of the same age.

The banquet was held in Taoguang Garden. In May, most of the flowers in Taoguang Garden were in full bloom. At a glance, they were colorful, and all kinds of flowers competed in splendor and beauty.

Because there are so many flowers, bees, butterflies and dragonflies can be seen flying by almost from time to time.

Li Yuechen was wearing an extremely unsuitable Tin Chai dress, chatting with a group of girls of the same age with small steps.

Li Yuechen, who has an adult mentality, is like a fish in water among the female relatives, and many wealthy wives praised her in different ways.

What looks cute, is born smart, and Tang Xiangrui, etc...

Although it felt a bit embarrassing to be praised so bluntly, what they said was true after all, which made Li Yuechen smile a lot.

When her daughter was praised, Wu Zetian, as the queen, naturally had a bright face, and chatted with the female relatives with an unabated smile.

Of course, I did not forget my duty as a spokesperson in essence. I accidentally revealed that there is a new tribute in the palace recently, which has the effect of protecting the skin and beautifying the skin.

Women are basically very sensitive to this, so they immediately asked in detail.

And my mother Wu Zetian is worthy of being a queen, she didn't mention Li Yuechen's shop the whole time, but let them all remember it.

So within a few days after the banquet, many people came to the door and asked to buy this moisturizing cream.

Chunmei has been in Datang for a long time, and she can speak fluent Datang dialect, and her ability to deal with people is also quite good. On the first day, she created [-] sales.

This is just the beginning, and when they see the effect in the future, they will definitely buy more and more.

But Wu Zetian was obviously not happy when she received the news, she felt cheated by her daughter.

On the first day, the sales amounted to [-] guan, but I only paid [-] guan for the endorsement fee, it was a big loss!

When Li Yuechen came to greet him the next day, he kept his face down, and he could see the obvious unhappiness.

Li Yuechen grabbed her hand and shook it back and forth: "Don't be unhappy, Ma'am, it's just a little endorsement fee. If the child makes any fun in the future, I will definitely think of Ma'am the first time!"

Of course, Wu Zetian didn't really care about this little money with her daughter, but since she came back from Ganye Temple, she has been counterattacking all the way, and she has been the only one who cheated others for many years.

But this time, he was cheated by his own daughter, and he instinctively felt a little unhappy.

"Oh, you also know it's a little money!" Wu Zetian turned his head and said, "A little money is so fussy about my mother!"

Li Yuechen hurriedly sat down cross-legged and gently beat her legs: "It's not that I care about it, but it's at the stage of development, and I really can't spend much money. I want to save this money to expand production!"

Li Zhi on the rocking chair asked, "What? Isn't the current production not enough?"

"The current output is hard to cover even the east. My son wants to expand his business. If he can do business in the entire Tang Dynasty, his parents won't have to worry about money in the future. Whether it's disaster relief or war, there is no need to worry. "Li Yuechen said.

Of course, this is pure deceit. How could such a big country be raised by means of business.

However, Li Zhi seemed to take it seriously, and began to think seriously: "Ke Chener, your workshop is only so big, how can you expand your business to the entire Tang Dynasty?"

"This...let me think about it." Li Yuechen said with a smile.

In fact, it is also simple, either to sell patents, or to continue to invest money and recruit more people.

Selling patents is easier, but Li Yuechen still wants to use the second method.

Although this is a bit troublesome, at least I can ensure that the workers are fed and paid enough wages.

Instead of wanting to use people as livestock like other businessmen in this era.

Li Yuechen's primary goal is not to make money, but to develop the economy. Only when the economy develops can the country be rich.

But this method has the biggest drawback, that is, the formula cannot be kept, and if it is leaked, it will definitely be leaked. It is nothing more than a matter of time.

Li Yuechen hoped to at least wait until the price of glass dropped to a certain level before leaking it out.

I want to think about it, but it is still a bit difficult for now. A small place as big as Jixianfang is definitely not enough.

Therefore, the best choice is to move the future factory outside the city and build a large factory area in between. It is best to have heavy guards around it, so as to prevent the formula from being leaked to the greatest extent.

But this will be discussed later, even if it is Li Zhi, there is no way to spend so much money at once.

……

Back in Anfu Hall, Li Yuechen squatted down and looked at the lush rice seedlings.

Although we don't know the result yet, if nothing else happens, the fertilizer experiment should be considered a success.

The ears of rice are full, and it is conceivable that there will be a great harvest after harvesting, but I don't know how much it will be converted into mu.

In terms of Li Yuechen's goal, as long as the production capacity per mu exceeds two hundred catties, the experiment will be considered a success.

Seeing her squatting beside the field in a daze, Shangguan Wan'er put on clogs and came out of the hall, came to squat down next to her.

"Why is Your Highness staring at the field in a daze?" There was a trace of puzzlement in her big eyes.

"You don't understand even if you tell me." Li Yuechen patted her head, "If I have to say it, I hope that the people of Tang Dynasty can have enough food in the future!"

Shangguan Wan'er seemed a little puzzled: "Why did Your Highness do this?"

"Why... it's just hope." Li Yuechen smiled.

She didn't know how to explain this question.Said it was a dream?It seems impossible to talk about it.

Her dream should be to eat and wait to die, don't bother her with anything, she can play as much as she wants, and pursue the breadth and limit of life.

It's just born in history, and subconsciously wants to change some regrets.

Maybe it's because I come from a civilized society and I can't bear to see many people starve to death.

This land will go through more than a thousand years of dynasties. From the perspective of the future, this is a glorious history.

But standing at the moment, there will be countless wars, famines, etc. in the future...

So if I have the ability, I still hope to avoid some disasters as much as possible, so that the life on this land can live safely.

"I hope so?" Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head, "Is this what His Highness wants to do?"

"Yeah." Li Yuechen nodded, "Is there anything Wan'er wants to do? You can tell me about it."

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lower lip and thought for a while: "This servant wants to do what His Highness wants to do!"

"Heh..." Li Yuechen grinned, only thinking that she said this on purpose to flatter herself consciously.After all, the difference in identity lies here.

But she didn't say much, Zhishi took her hand and stood up: "If one day you really find something you want to do, remember to tell me."

After saying that, he raised his legs and walked into the hall: "Let's go, drink some yogurt, and then go to the clothing bureau to make you a swimsuit. You will need it later."

"Your Highness, what is a swimsuit?"

"Clothes for swimming!"

……

Two days later, the craftsman supervisor sent someone to inform Li Yuechen that the telescope she wanted was ready.

Li Yuechen came to the craftsman's supervisor immediately, and took the samples handed over by the craftsman.

This telescope is made of copper tube, less than ten centimeters in length, and can reach 25 centimeters by pulling both sides.

Pick it up and look around, the effect is quite good, it is already quite advanced in this era.

Seeing Li Yuechen waving his hands with a smile, Fulai understood, stepped forward and took out a small golden bean and handed it to the craftsman.

After the craftsman took it, he thanked Li Yuechen a thousand times, and Li Yuechen waved his hand, and after saying goodbye, he hurried to the Hall of Renshou to present the treasure.

After entering the Hall of Renshou, Li Zhi saw something in her hand and knew that she must have made something new.

"Chen'er, what is this?"

"It's just a derivative of transparent glass." Li Yuechen explained, and then pulled the telescope away, "Grandfather, use this to look out the window."

Li Zhi took it and took a look, then lifted it up and looked at a tree outside the window.

After seeing it like this, I was surprised: "Oh? This thing actually has such effects?"

Seeing that his reaction was a little big, Wu Zetian next to him asked, "What kind of effect can make His Majesty have such a reaction?"

"Hahaha...Meiniang, come and take a look!" Li Zhi beckoned her to come over, "I'm sure you'll be surprised by this!"

Hearing what he said, Wu Zetian got up suspiciously, took the binoculars and looked out the window.

When he saw that the branch that was originally far away was almost in front of him, his usually calm face couldn't help showing surprise!
"Chen'er, this thing..."

"Hey, this is also made of transparent glass, it's very simple." Li Yuechen explained with a smile.

Li Zhi nodded: "This thing is very useful! Come here! It's called Liu Rengui, Qi Xin He Li, Pei Xingjian..."

Or to say that a smart person is a smart person, Li Zhi immediately thought of the application method of this thing, and directly called a bunch of generals with great military exploits.

Li Yuechen actually wanted to stay here to see how Li Zhi introduced this thing to them.

But think about it carefully, let's withdraw, anyway, it's just such a thing, Li Zhi can explain it clearly, the most important thing is to give the old man a chance to pretend!

Hearing that Li Yuechen was going to resign, Li Zhi smiled: "Why? Afraid of stealing my limelight?"

"How come..." Li Yuechen said with a slight smile, "Or I just want to check on the progress of the carriage."

Hearing what she said, Li Zhi smiled and nodded slightly: "Okay, Chen'er is free!"

After Li Yuechen gave the couple a big hug, they turned and left.

Seeing the back of her bouncing away, Li Zhi turned his head: "Now Chen'er has more thoughts."

"This is also for His Majesty's consideration." Wu Zetian smiled gratifiedly.

"Actually, even if she is here, I will still be very happy." Li Zhi suddenly felt a little lost.

Wu Zetian got up and sat down next to him: "Although that's the case, it's always good to have this kind of heart. Don't take credit for it..."

Li Zhi nodded in agreement, now the more he looks at this daughter, the more pleasing to the eye.

After taking a sip of tea and guessing that it was almost time, the couple got up and came to the gate of Renshou Hall, standing side by side.

After waiting for a short time, Liu Rengui and other battlefield veterans entered the palace one after another, and after they came, they saluted the emperor and empress one after another.

Li Zhi raised his hand with a smile: "Excuse me, I called all the loves into the palace today because Chen'er researched a new object, please take a look!"

"May I ask Your Majesty, what is it?" Qi Xin He Li asked carelessly.

Pei Xingjian next to him turned his head: "Your Highness is a disciple of Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu should know a thing or two, right?"

"Hey!" Liu Rengui shook his head: "I really don't know!"

Li Zhi didn't make a fool of himself, he took out the telescope in his hand and pulled it out: "Chen'er named this object 'Telescope', and it is very effective!"

While talking, he put it in front of his eyes and looked around, and then handed it to Liu Rengui: "All the lovers may wish to take a look!"

Liu Rengui received it with both hands respectfully, followed his example and put it in front of his eyes, with a look of surprise on his face.

After carefully looking around, he put down his hands, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, this thing is of great use!"

While talking, he handed it to Pei Xingjian who was next to him.

And Pei Xingjian is also a person with extremely rich experience in war. After looking at it twice, he couldn't help but put down his hand and stroked the copper pipe twice: "It's really a magic weapon!"

"Show me show me!"

Qi Xin He Li snatched it over, imitated their appearance and looked around, and then he was surprised: "Oh, it's amazing!"

A group of experienced generals competed to watch, and then they had the same surprised expression.

Those who have seen it are happily talking about the magical effect of this thing on the army, etc., and chatted all of a sudden.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian looked at each other, with a proud smile on their faces.

Liu Rengui, on the other hand, nodded with satisfaction, and did not participate in their discussion.
