Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 200 198, captain, general, chief
After spending a little time, Zhang Qi tested the telescope with the naked eye.

Through a rough comparison of the shape and size of objects seen in the telescope and the other eye at the same time, he concluded that the telescope in his hand had a multiple of about four times.

Of course, it is not necessarily accurate, because what the telescope can see depends on your eyesight.

The function of the telescope is only to pull in the distant scenery.

Just like this telescope, which is about four times the size, its function is to pull things 400 meters away to a distance of 100 meters in your vision.

The principle is similar to glasses, except that imaging technology is used.

And to put it bluntly, what a telescope sees is not objects, but light. The more light is reflected, the clearer what you see.

Putting down the novelty in his hands, Zhang Qi nodded in satisfaction, and praised the jade craftsmen who were still standing beside him.

"The craftsmanship is good. In the future, you will also recruit more apprentices. This kind of telescope will definitely be mass-produced in the future."

The old man looked a little excited, none of the craftsmen who came in with him now had less than 80 or [-] people, that is to say, he had not been reused before, and there were only three or four apprentices.

"Hey, don't worry, my lord, I'm going to recruit apprentices right now. With your approval, those dolls will definitely be interested in this craft."

Zhang Qi smiled: "Don't worry, no matter how hard you work, you will polish out the remaining materials. These two types of lenses, the large one is the objective lens, and the small one is called the eyepiece. The size of the objective lens is like this for now, but the eyepiece
Take the piece in my hand as an example, and work towards the smaller one step by step. Let's count five, and first polish five eyepieces that gradually shrink. "

"promise."

The old man was getting old, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Zhang Qi waved his hands, so that he would not have to salute in the future. For things like lenses, even in the 70s and [-]s in the previous life, the precision of handwork was higher than that of machines. , It depends on the experience of the craftsmen, so this old jade craftsman is a treasure.

After ordering the old craftsman to take his apprentice to continue polishing the crystal lens, Zhang Qi went to look at the crops again.

Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes.

These crops have been planted in the world of riding and hacking for almost two months.

Now they are growing green and lush.

Because it is an experimental field, each crop is only planted on one mu of land.

The tallest thing to grow is corn, which is now only a little shorter than a person.

In the potato field, the buds were waiting to bloom. It was the first time that Zhang Qi saw the potato flowers growing from the ground. Only then did Zhang Qi understand why this thing became an ornamental plant in Europe.

It's really pretty.

The sweet potato is a little different. Compared with the corn and potatoes, the sweet potato is very inconspicuous. The sweet potato seedlings are crawling and growing in the ground. If you don't pay attention, you will feel that this is a wasteland overgrown with weeds.

But Zhang Qi knew how many people would be saved from hunger by the crops buried in the ground when the sweet potatoes matured.

Zhang Qi is a little lucky, glad that he is a time traveler, thankful that he knows the usefulness of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, otherwise, according to the normal historical process, even Europe, which regards potatoes as one of the staple foods, would have been skeptical of this kind of food when potatoes first spread. Crop resistance.

And this resistance lasted for several centuries. It was not until war and famine and other unnatural factors engulfed European people that potatoes were put on the table.

Squatting in the place where a few acres of land staggered, Zhang Qi squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and rubbed it. During the days of traveling, he also changed from a half-baked theorist who didn't know anything about farming and only spread some things on the Internet. A semi-expert who can look at the fertility of the land and the growth of crops.

People are forced out. If you want to live a better life, you need to push yourself hard. Besides, this is an era with almost no obstacles.

The only thing he has to do is to clear the world!

"I have seen Your Majesty."

While Zhang Qi was inspecting the soil quality, several elders brought a group of eighteen or nineteen year olds to these experimental fields.

They are the teachers of the Riding and Slashing Academy, and those young people are naturally students.

Zhang Qi stood up, hummed, waved his hands, and stopped the students from saluting.

"Agriculture class today?"

Zhang Qi asked casually.

The leading college teacher bowed: "Yes, you ordered to breed high-quality potato, corn, and sweet potato seeds as soon as possible, so the school increased the number of agricultural courses to four a week, and today is the last agricultural course."

"That's it, that's right. Take good care of these three crops. If you do well, you will have a chance to leave your name in history."

"Your Majesty's order, I will keep it in mind."

"Well, corn doesn't have much to worry about, but potatoes and sweet potatoes need to be more careful, and their habits will allow them to continuously accumulate disease toxins from the nature of the land, so you have to find a way, how to cultivate infinite poisonous seedlings.

Of course, the accumulation of toxins also takes time, so you don't have to be too impatient, just follow the normal process. "

Zhang Qiyang spoke eloquently.

Several teachers nodded, wrote it down in their notebooks, and then agreed.

And the students who followed those teachers were also carrying hoes and dustpans, looking at this side curiously, but when they looked at Zhang Qi, their eyes were full of admiration and worship.

"."

After talking for a long time, Zhang Qi also felt that he was disturbing the teaching of the teachers of the academy, so he waved his hand, left the last sentence and left.

"Let the guards lead a few agronomy experts to the towns of Sturgia, where the climate is extremely cold, and cultivate a batch of cold-resistant crop seeds there, and then bring them back to hybridize with the crops here. Also know that I need some adaptable crop variants."

After speaking, Zhang Qi left the world of riding and cutting in full view.

outside world.

The sun is shining, and it is another scorching day.

The cicadas cried knowingly.

Come out of your bedroom.

Bai Xing was already waiting at the door, or in other words, she guarded the door as soon as she found out that Zhang Qi was gone.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhang Qi coming out, Bai Xing saluted slightly.

Zhang Qi nodded: "During my absence, is there anything going on?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything is normal."

"Well, that's good."

"Come out for a walk with me."

After crossing the threshold, Zhang Qi said softly.

countryside.

Jiaoli is a county seat.

The Duwei Mansion in the central part is outside the county seat.

Therefore, there are several villages and towns within a dozen miles of the Duwei Mansion.

The two rode on horseback, followed by a dozen guards from the Captain's Mansion.

Seeing such a battle, the villagers did not see the fear of other nobles, but greeted them warmly.

"The captain is well."

"General Zhang is doing well."

"Happy Chang Chang!"

There was an endless stream of greetings, so Zhang Qi had no choice but to keep smiling and nod his head.

Since the last time he lent soldiers to Huo Qubing, his false status has been promoted from a young master to a great concubine. If he has any more achievements, he will be granted the title of Marquis of Guannei.

And this time Liu Che bestowed the reward on Wei Qing for his first contribution was the Marquis of Guannei.
