Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 500 Four Navigation Treasures

For the history of "Zheng He's voyages to the West", Gao Ming can be said to have a deep memory.

Because of this feat of Zheng He's voyage to the West, it not only demonstrated the strength of the Ming Dynasty to the outside world, but also strengthened its ties with other countries, and truly realized the tribute of all nations.

And the name of Zheng He, the "Three Treasures Eunuch", has also been famous for thousands of years.

Of course, Zheng He's voyages to the West were not perfect, and it also had great disadvantages. First of all, it was not for the purpose of trade, and that method regardless of cost, seven voyages to the West caused a huge economic burden on the Ming Dynasty's finances.

But Gao Ming is not worried, because he only intends to let Liu Bing go there once, and the purpose is only to find corn. As long as this purpose is achieved, then a little loss can be said to be completely acceptable.

For this purpose, he naturally made full preparations.

After explaining the sailing route to Liu Bing, Gao Ming took out a big box and smiled at Liu Bing.

"Old Liu, this box contains two treasures that I have prepared for you. With them, your voyage will be much smoother!"

"treasure?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing's eyes widened immediately, and then he waved his hands solemnly at Gao Ming.

"No, no, no...His Royal Highness, you can give this old slave this chance to become famous, and this old slave is already very grateful. How can this old slave accept your treasure again? This is really impossible!"

Seeing Liu Bing waving his hands again and again, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head.

"No, Lao Liu, you may not understand what I mean. I just said that the four treasures I gave are for you to find corn. In other words, if you don't have these four treasures, you may die. On the sea, I am not alarmist!"

"This……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing was stunned immediately, and didn't say anything more about the rejection.

Seeing his stupefied look, Gao Ming smiled again, and then opened the box in front of Liu Bing, and several things in the box came into Liu Bing's eyes.

The box did not contain the dazzling array of rare treasures that Liu Bing had imagined, but only a few simple things.

A Sinan, several small fish carved from wood, and a bamboo tube as thick as an arm. Looking at these things, Liu Bing was stunned again.

Could it be that this is the treasure that His Royal Highness is talking about?

As if he had guessed what Liu Bing was thinking, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha, Liu Bing, Liu Bing, don't underestimate these things, on the sea, this is your life!"

Having said that, Gao Ming raised his chin towards Liu Bingyang while taking out Sinan and those small wooden fishes.

"I said Liu Bing, I know you are used to using the sun to tell the direction, but what if you encounter cloudy and rainy days while sailing? Should you just stop the boat?"

"This……"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Liu Bing immediately realized the problem, so he immediately bowed to Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness is right, this old slave has been taught!"

Seeing Liu Bing humbly admitting his mistake, Gao Ming nodded in satisfaction.

"It's good if you can understand. This Sinan is still these guide fish. You should keep them well. When the weather is calm, use Sinan because it is very accurate. If you encounter wind and waves, use the guide fish. Its usage is very simple, just throw it away. Just in the sink!"

"Yes, the old slave understands!"

While agreeing, Liu Bing took Sinan and Guide Fish from Gao Ming's hands, and put them away carefully.

Watching Liu Bing put away his things, Gao Ming smiled again, and then took out the only bamboo tube left in the box.

When Gao Ming took out the bamboo tube, Liu Bing discovered that both ends of the bamboo tube were filled with a piece of crystal!
"Is this..."

Seeing Liu Bing's surprised look, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"It seems that you recognized it. Yes, I found this crystal from the old man's treasure house. Unfortunately, there is only one colorless and transparent crystal like this in the whole treasure house, so I only make this telescope. Got one."

"telescope?"

Hearing this new term from Gao Ming's mouth, Liu Bing's eyes lit up again.

Although he didn't know what the telescope Gao Ming was talking about, he knew that since Gao Ming could use such a precious crystal on it, then this thing must not be simple!
Thinking of this, he immediately cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness, I don't know what is the use of this telescope, can it make people see farther?"

"You guessed it all?"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, a flash of surprise flashed across Gao Ming's face, and he nodded immediately.

"That's right, this telescope can indeed make people see farther. I say it's useless to say more, you'd better try it yourself!"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately pulled away the bamboo tube telescope in his hand, and handed it to Liu Bing.

Looking at the telescope in his hand, Liu Bing hesitated for a moment, and then put his eyes on it.

However, he just brought his eyes up to take a look, and immediately saw a scene that made him tremble with fear. He saw a tiger appearing in front of him, with its bloody mouth open as if it wanted to swallow his head.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bing immediately yelled "Oops" and let go of the binoculars in his hand. If it wasn't for Gao Ming's sharp eyesight and quick hands, this expensive thing might have fallen to the ground.

After Gao Ming caught the telescope, he immediately gave Liu Bing a hard look.

"Be careful! There's only one thing like this. I reserved it for your sailing. If it breaks, there's nowhere to find it!"

Seeing Gao Ming's angry look, Liu Bing quickly knelt down towards him.

"His Royal Highness, forgive me. This old slave didn't do it on purpose. It was because the old slave saw the tiger just now and was frightened all of a sudden, so he lost his composure!"

"tiger?"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming immediately looked outside, and immediately saw a familiar guy—Ben Ben!
At this time, this guy was lying under a big tree 20 meters away to enjoy the shade, with his belly rising and falling, shaking his ears from time to time, like a big lazy cat.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately understood why Liu Bing was frightened.

Because of such a short distance, if you look through a telescope, you will definitely see Benben face to face. With Liu Bing's courage, it is not surprising that he will be frightened.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming immediately waved his hand towards Liu Bing who was kneeling on the ground.

"Okay, get up, just be careful in the future, this telescope is the only one in the whole Tang Dynasty, if it breaks, there is nowhere to look for it."

After speaking, Gao Ming put the telescope in Liu Bing's hand.

Seeing the binoculars handed over by Gao Ming, Liu Bing hastily stretched out his hands to take it over, and put it carefully into his arms.

After finishing these, he stood up and bowed to Gao Ming.

"Thank you, the old slave, for His Highness the Crown Prince's trust. The old slave will definitely keep it carefully, and return it to His Highness the Crown Prince in its entirety after finding the corn!"

Hearing Liu Bing's words, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Well, it's good that you understand, well, these are the two treasures, and the other treasure is in my kitchen, come with me!"

After speaking, Gao Ming walked out the door.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bing suddenly became suspicious.

"Kitchen? What baby is in the kitchen?"
