Touring the Ming Dynasty

"Master Zhou please come in." Duan Fei got up to greet him, Zhou Zhe walked in with a smile, and said, "Master Duan has not seen him for a long time, what novelty do you want me to make?"

"The microscope you made last time still works?" Duan Fei smiled at Zhou Zhe.

Ran said: "Very good. Recently, with that thing, it doesn't take much to make small things. People who do our work often lose their eyesight when they are over fifty. No matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is impossible to carve by touch." ? Mr. Duan’s thing is simply too good for us!”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "There are better ones."

Zhou Zhe said eagerly with joy in his face: "Take it and have a look."

Duan Fei smiled and took out a piece of something he drew last night, and said: "This thing can be big or small. The small one can be hung directly on the eyes with a rope around the head. It is a concrete and small microscope that can be carried around. Make it bigger, use two or three pairs of lenses, you can clearly see the scenery in the extreme distance, it is not an exaggeration to call it a clairvoyance, but I prefer to call it a telescope..."

Zhou Zhe clapped his hands and said, "I'm worried that the microscope is too big to handle. I have a habit of half-lying on the couch to work, so the microscope can't be used. I always I can't figure it out, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, a thin line can solve the problem, wonderful, really wonderful!"

"If it is made more refined, you can directly hold it with your eyes..." Duan Fei gestured and said, "This is nothing, the real good thing is this telescope, if it can be used on the battlefield, This thing is a treasure... If someone can dedicate it to the current emperor, and it can be used on the battlefield of his own conquest, it will be an unworldly achievement!"

When Zhou Zhe was thinking about it, shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up like light bulbs, and he said with great interest, "Is it really that good? It's just that you can see farther, Master Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Zhe replied: "Seeing the enemy first on the battlefield will increase your chances of winning. If you are in a melee, clairvoyance is more useful. Shopkeeper Zhang, you like to watch operas. You should have seen the part where Liang Hongyu beats the drums to help her husband? What if With Liang Hongyu having this thing, I'm afraid Jin Wushu won't be able to escape Huang Tiandang."

Speaking of familiar things, shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help nodding, and replied: "Not bad, it's really useful, and it's very useful. So, Master Zhou, you should make this thing as soon as possible."

Zhou Zhe nodded, and said to Duan Fei: "Mr. Duan, I'm not in a hurry to make this thing. Last time you told me about the refractive index and light transmittance. I have a problem of forgetting things. Please invite Mr. Duan Explain it to me again."

Duan Fei smiled and said: "There is no rush, I haven't finished talking about the telescope yet, just think about it, if almost every general of our Ming Dynasty has a telescope, wouldn't it be the first to take a share of it during the battle?" Advantages? That’s a lot of business.”

"This..." Zhou Zhe looked at shopkeeper Zhang ponderingly, and shopkeeper Zhang nodded, and said, "If the emperor likes it, it is possible for someone to recommend it to you, but it will definitely not be too much at the beginning. And if an expert sees this thing, will it imitate it soon?"

Duan Fei replied: "Sell more expensive if the quantity is small. Isn't Bao Daxiang always following the high-quality line? Counterfeiting is inevitable, but they don't understand the principle, and it is not so easy to imitate. First, the quality is difficult to guarantee, and secondly. Their cost will be much higher than ours, as long as we add the logo of Bao Daxiang in the appropriate place and increase the publicity, let everyone know whether it is genuine at a glance, are you afraid that others will compete with us?".

Zhou Zhe nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Duan is right. It is not difficult to counterfeit. The difficulty lies in the craftsmanship and that technology. Now we still have the treasure of microscopes. If we use extremely small letters on every mirror surface we sell It is difficult for other craftsmen to imitate the words of our Bao Daxiang, what does shopkeeper Zhang think?"

Shopkeeper Zhang slapped his thigh and said: "Hurry up and build this thing, the emperor is about to conscript himself, time is waiting for no one, if it is really that good, this thing will become our life-saving treasure for Bao Daxiang... ..."

Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly realized that there was an outsider like Duan Fei present, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and said, "Young Master Duan, you said that you want to do business with us, could it be related to this telescope?"

Duan Fei smiled and said, "That's right, I ask this telescope to be accounted independently, and I will charge [-]% of the profit for each one sold! Checkout once a quarter."

"[-]%!" Shopkeeper Zhang was relentless in bargaining. The two sides bargained, and in the end Zhou Zhe couldn't stand it, and decided to settle the settlement with Duan Fei at [-]% profit.

After the business was negotiated, the two parties signed a simple agreement. Duan Fei then went to the backyard to review the basic knowledge of optical physics for Zhou Zhe, and supervised him to make a beautiful telescope.

The copper mirror body is engraved with flowers, birds, fish and insects. The spiral groove allows the upper and lower lens barrels to adjust the focal length infinitely. The parameters of the three convex lenses made of superb crystal are excellent. This telescope has almost reached the level of the first-generation telescope. Before the glass technology reaches a certain level, there should be no better one.

Duan Fei left Bao Daxiang with binoculars and a large box of jewelry, and as soon as he went out, he saw Huang Suliang standing opposite Bao Daxiang, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"Fatty Huang, are you waiting for me?" Duan Fei coughed and called Huang Suliang's soul back.

"Mr. Duan, are you finished?" Huang Suliang happily came up and said, "Mr. Duan, you carry a lot of treasure, do you need a follower? If there are one or two bandits, I can still deal with them."

Looking at his fat body, Duan Fei couldn't thank him anymore. He said calmly, "With your body? I can beat you to the ground with one hand. Say, what are you trying to do here waiting for me!"

Huang Suliang couldn't help but change his bitter face, and said: "Young Master Duan, to tell you the truth, it's the first time in my life that I have so much money in my pocket, which makes me not know what to do. I just went back to see you." My old lady, my old lady scolded me after hearing what I said about this matter, and I suddenly realized that I was enlightened. What my old lady said is right, the young master is my nobleman. If the young master does not give up, I am willing to follow the young master from now on, for the rest of my life Never leave, never give up, if I violate this oath, I will die from gut-piercing!"

Huang Suliang knelt down in front of Duan Fei, hugged Duan Fei's thigh and howled: "Mr. Duan, Lord Duan, please take pity on me and take me in, a poor orphan..."

"Get up, how decent is it..." Duan Fei was disgusted for a while, this guy was too much, he lied and didn't write drafts, and there was an old lady just now, but suddenly he became an orphan.

"Young Master, if you don't agree, I will kneel until you die!" Huang Suliang shouted.

"Okay, okay, I promise you for the time being, get up now!" Duan Fei roared, and Huang Suliang immediately jumped up like a spring, his sleeves wiped his face casually, and that face appeared again In front of Duan Fei, he had already changed into a flattering smile.

Duan Fei said in a low voice: "I'm not some kind of wangmenzi, nor a high-ranking official. I'm just a low-level little catcher. Now that you know my true identity, there's still time to get out."

Huang Suliang cheered up, and said happily: "It's better like this. If the young master is really a high-ranking young master, I will follow the young master just to make ends meet. It's okay to rely on the power of the tiger for a while, and the young master is all To be able to own such a wealth by one's own strength, and being a commoner can make Bao Daxiang's treasurer Zhang and Master Zhou value it so much, and my eyes will not lie to me, just like the uncut jade that is still buried in the soil. It’s just that there is no trace, the future is limitless, I am willing to follow the son, no matter whether the son is rich or poor in the future, I will never abandon him!"

The fat man's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, he met his sincere eyes, Duan Fei nodded, and said: "Okay, I will give you a task now, a very difficult task, let's go, let's go to a quiet place Speak slowly."

After an in-depth conversation with the fat man, the fat man left full of joy and the excitement of being trusted, and also took away Duan Fei's 10 taels of silver notes. Duan Fei asked him to go to Yingtianfu to wait for an opportunity to buy real estate. When the army is about to approach the city, the land of Yingtianfu should fall faster than the jewels. If it is as expected, it would be good to go to the headquarters of Yingtianbao Daxiang to buy another batch of jewels.

Duan Fei was not afraid that this guy would abscond with the money. On the one hand, the money came easily, so Duan Fei didn't take it very seriously. On the other hand, Duan Fei also wanted to give him a try. He has really made a fortune, how could Huang Suliang betray him?Huang Suliang still has a certain ability, at least he is a profiteer, maybe he can earn ten 10 taels or even a hundred, a thousand taels for Duan Fei in the future...

Duan Fei returned to Baoying County and continued to squat. In fact, he did not squat for a few days before news of King Ning's capture came. At this moment, His Majesty Zhengde's army had just left the capital.

On April 14th of the 25th year of Zhengde (April 1519th, 4), Ning Wang Chenhao besieged Anqing, but Wang Shouren made a surprise attack on Nanchang.

On April 14th, 26th year of Zhengde, Ning Wang Chenhao's army was besieged in Huangjiadu by Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, Dai Deru, the prefect of Linjiang, Xu Lian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, Xing Xun, the prefect of Ganzhou, Hu Yaoyuan, the prefect of Duanzhou, etc., and was defeated. After breaking through the blockade, he fled eastward and parked in Huangshiji at night.

On April 14th, 27th year of Zhengde, Ning Wang Chenhao offered a lot of money to motivate his subordinates to fight to the death with Wu Wending's army. Wu Wending went to the front line to fight to the death with the warlord, and then defeated Ning Wang's army. Ning Wang retreated and formed a square boat formation. King Ning's army and navy captured King Ning's father and son, Yibin, his subordinates, and the general in one go. The rebellion of King Ning ended quickly, less than a month later.

Duan Fei originally thought that the world would be peaceful after King Ning was captured, and his appointment letter should come down. Who would have thought that Emperor Zhengde did not return to Beijing to be captured, but continued to go south, and even directed a good show of capturing and releasing King Ning, In the name of the mighty general Zhu Shou, he suppressed the rebellion and made great contributions to himself.

Emperor Zhengde's army entered Nanjing in a triumphant manner. Ying Tianfu urgently recruited capable officials from all over the country to ensure social harmony and stability. Under the recommendation of the judge Xie Zhijun, Duan Fei was ordered to come to Nanjing...
