God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 900
In order to reflect the fairness and justice of the reward, the ministers unanimously suggested that Du He should not be allowed to intervene in this matter.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs is afraid of Du He's cheating. What if the reward of 20 yuan is handed over to Du He, what should I do if I regret it and run away? What if he doesn't want to send the reward money? , What should I do if I don't admit it?
Therefore, the matter of offering rewards was handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, directly asked someone to build a platform at the gate of the imperial city.

Anyone who claims to have found fresh vegetables can be sent here for verification, and as long as they meet the requirements, the 20 coins bounty can be taken away immediately.

And the common people can come to watch the supervision at any time.

The next day, people claimed to have found fresh vegetables and wanted to send them for inspection.

When the people heard the words, they all moved after hearing the news.

20 million guan!
Everyone wants to see who will be the lucky one!
So, early in the morning, the entire gate of the imperial city was surrounded by people who came to see the excitement.

Even the ministers of the DPRK and China were dispatched.

There was a lot of movement.

The result was disappointing.

Several people took it over in a row, but none of them met the requirements.

Either they are strange wild vegetables, or they are dry things. In short, they are not the same as the more than 30 kinds of vegetables required by the imperial edict.

When Dai Zhou saw the liars one by one, he was so angry that he overturned the table and left.

On the contrary, the common people are interested in it. These people are also idle when they are idle, just to watch some interesting stories.

Dai Zhou said to the ministers: "My lords, I understand now that Du He's move is probably for the sake of gaining fame... because it is impossible to find fresh vegetables in winter."

"Everyone is gone!"

Everyone said without interest.

Then, they all left.

……

West Inner Court.

"Teacher, now, many people say that you are trying to gain fame!" Li Ke glanced at Du He and said cautiously.

Du He became anxious for a moment: "Which hooker is it?"

"...that's what you said!"

"There must be a leader, right?"

Li Ke replied cautiously: "I heard that an official named Ma Chuan took the lead in saying it!"

"Ma Chuan?" Du He had no influence on the name at all. He should be just a young man in the court. "Your Highness, go and find out if this Ma Chuan has a daughter or something like that? Why don't you go down and take his daughter?" All the daughters are married, how about expressing bad temper for the teacher?"

Li Ke shook his head and said, "Teacher, this Ma Chuan has no daughters, but has three sons, one of whom is a well-known talented man in Chang'an. However, he is not qualified to drink the teacher's footwashing water, and he dares to call himself a talented man. He is really desperate!"

Du He rubbed his chin and asked, "Your Highness, how about you go and mess with his three sons?"

"I go?"

"Correct!"

"It's not appropriate, right? Shouldn't matters between men be resolved with swords and guns? How can anyone take off their pants?" Li Ke was puzzled, but he felt a little excited in his heart.

Du He waved his hand: "Forget it..."

Li Ke suddenly said with emotion: "Teacher, when can we go back to Hu County? I stay in the palace all day and can't go in and out. I'm going to get sick sooner or later."

Du He smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, when the opportunity comes, you can leave naturally."

As he spoke, Du He lowered his head again, polishing a piece of glass in his hand.

It was a piece of palm-sized glass, and Du He was carefully polishing it with an extremely sharp small carving knife.

Li Ke looked at it and asked, "Teacher, what are you doing?"

Du He said: "Your Highness, I am researching a new way of making fire!"

Make fire?

Li Ke was surprised and said: "Suiren drilled wood to make fire and was called a sage. Teacher, do you want to be a sage too?"

Du He rolled his eyes, and said contemptuously: "What's so good about being a saint, Your Highness, if you are interested, how about giving you the opportunity to be a saint?"

Grinding glass can become a saint?

It sounds a little exciting!
Li Ke asked excitedly: "Teacher, can I do it?"

Du He comforted: "The teacher said you can do it, you can do it, you can do it, you can't do it, you can continue to polish according to my method."

"Oh!"

Li Ke followed the method taught by Du He obediently and honestly, and began to polish it carefully.

This is a very tiring thing, without advanced tools, it is very labor-intensive.

Fortunately, what Li Ke lacks most is strength.

After spending a whole morning working hard, he finally met Du He's request.

Du He picked up the palm-sized glass and observed it carefully.

It can only be described as shoddy.

However, this is the first convex lens of this era.

Li Ke asked curiously: "Teacher, is it possible that we need to get another wooden stick, drill on it, and then start a fire?"

"Your Highness, we should establish a vision of development and make fire by drilling wood. We are already behind... Go and get some hay!"

"okay!"

Li Ke went to get a handful of hay.

At this moment, the sun hangs in the sky.

Although it is winter, the sun is bright enough.

Duhe put the dry grass on the ground, then raised the convex lens, adjusted the height, so that the sun's rays converged into one point, and just fell on the dry grass.

Li Ke squatted aside, carefully observing every detail.

As the saying goes, this is the time to observe miracles.

Not long after, Li Ke discovered that the hay started to smoke.

Then, a flame burst out.

The hay was set on fire.

Li Ke opened his mouth wide enough to hold two fists.

Is this the new way to make fire?
This is indeed more convenient and quicker than drilling wood to make fire!

"Teacher, you are truly a god!" Li Ke said with emotion.

Du He waved his hand: "Your Highness, don't say that, it's all thanks to you, this saint, you should do it!"

Li Ke is a very principled person. Hearing this, he shook his head hastily: "No, no, teacher, you are a saint, and I am a disciple of a saint, but, teacher, can you give me this piece of glass?"

"of course can!"

Du He smiled and handed the crudely made glass to Li Ke.

Li Ke took it carefully, and stuffed it into his sleeve like collecting treasures.

……

Royal study.

Li Er is processing the memorial.

Looking up, you can see the scenery outside the window.

The originally dim imperial study room became well-lit after the installation of glass doors and windows.

This made Li Er very satisfied.

His only regret is that he heard that the main hall of Sikong Mansion is not only equipped with glass doors and windows, but also glass walls, which must be very strange.

He wanted Du He to install glass doors and windows in the imperial study, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

After all, the glass wall would cost tens of thousands of guan.

Forget it, it’s not like it can’t be used!
At this moment, Zhao Yang walked in and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the King of Shu is begging to see you!"

"Oh? Didn't the King of Shu cook chicken today? Why come to see me when you have time, let him come in!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Yang turned around, and saw Li Ke striding in triumphantly, full of energy!
