Chapter 190 Daqin's First Telescope
Seeing Brother Zheng's appearance like this, Ying Yu immediately laughed.
Even the Great Qin Shihuang thought this cup was a priceless treasure.
The prairie barbarians and those wretches from the Maurya Dynasty, why don't they offer this cup as a godsend?
"What are you laughing at, kid?"
Seeing Ying Yu's smiling face, Ying Zheng suddenly became suspicious.
He always felt that Ying Yu's smile was a bit malicious.
"Father, we can have as many cups as you want, you should take out the one in your arms."
"What? As much as you want?"
Ying Zheng suddenly exclaimed.
"Father, my son has already mastered the method of making this glazed cup, and the cost is extremely low, mass production is not a problem at all."
"In the future, we will rely on this for the subsidies of the people of Daqin and the funds for the officials and schools of the counties and counties."
Seeing Ying Yu's smiling face, Ying Zheng took a deep breath.
This kid is simply a fairy descended from the world, he can always come up with some unexpected good things.
This glass cup is a treasure that even he can't put it down.
But at Ying Yu's place, they were able to mass-produce them.
This shocked Ying Zheng so much that it took him a while to calm down.
It is foreseeable that if this kind of glass cup appears on the market, it will definitely drive people crazy.
Then a smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
"Yu'er, you have a lot of glass cups, don't you?"
As he spoke, he also took out the cup in his arms.
Ying Yu nodded slightly:
"This kind of glass cup is not difficult to produce, and the cost is not high!"
Having said that, seeing the smile on Brother Zheng's face, Ying Yu suddenly realized.
"Father, if you like it, I will ask someone to pull a few cars and send it to Xianyang Palace later."
How many cars?
How many of these cups did this kid produce?
Is it delivered by several cars?
Ying Zheng couldn't sit still.
Originally, he wanted to show off in front of all civil and military officials, but seeing Ying Yu's attitude of sending a few cars at every turn.
It is estimated that within a few days, Wang Jian, Meng Yi and others will all be there.
Then what are you showing off?
"It's still you, kid, who understands my thoughts."
In desperation, Ying Zheng could only smile awkwardly.
Seeing this, Ying Yu immediately understood what Brother Zheng meant.
"Father, this glazed cup is nothing, it's not worth showing off to the officials at all!"
"Oh, such an exquisite glass cup is nothing? Don't you have something better?"
A satisfied smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
The son is capable and filial, and he is in a great mood to be a father.
"Father, my son has a way to polish glass into lenses, and then process it into a telescope that can see more than ten miles away."
"Is this true?"
Hearing Ying Yu's words, Ying Zheng suddenly lost his composure!
Looking ten miles away, this is simply a magic weapon of the fairy family.
If this is applied to the battlefield, wouldn't it be easy to control the enemy's every move?
"Father, please look, this is the telescope that my son mentioned just now!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's shocked expression, Ying Yu smiled and took out a pair of binoculars from his long sleeves and handed it to Brother Zheng.
This telescope was polished by Gong Shujie himself. Although there are still many flaws, it is barely usable.
Ying Zheng took the binoculars with slightly trembling hands.
Then I was stunned.
Because he doesn't know how to use this thing at all.
"Father, you close one eye first, then stick the other eye here, and look outside."
Ying Yu smiled and explained to Brother Zheng.
Because it was the first production, it took Ying Yu and Gong Shujie a lot of effort just for the lens and focusing, and it took several days to complete it.
Under Ying Yu's guidance, Ying Zheng put his eyes on them and looked outside.
After looking at it, he gasped suddenly.
A few hundred meters away, the handwriting on the bulletin board was clearly visible.
And the faces and expressions of the people around the bulletin board can be clearly seen.
Ying Zheng shook his hand and almost threw the telescope out.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to catch the telescope again in a hurry.
Such a fetish, if it is accidentally damaged, he will definitely feel distressed to death.
"This treasure is so miraculous."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng picked up the binoculars again, and looked through the window at the Xianyang Palace in the distance.
You can have a panoramic view of the tall palace walls of Xianyang Palace, the majestic halls inside, and the continuous buildings.
Even the embroidery on the skirts of the court ladies can be clearly seen.
You know, Tianxiang Pavilion is ten miles away from Xianyang Palace.
"I have already tested it. If the telescope is at a high place and there is nothing blocking it, it can clearly see the figure of about thirty miles away.
If it is a large army, even if it is fifty miles away, it can be detected. "
Ying explained again.
"This thing is simply the legendary clairvoyance."
Ying Zheng immediately sighed.
Such a treasure, if used on the battlefield, is comparable to a divine weapon.
Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying, know yourself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles.
With this telescope, it is easy to know yourself and your enemy.
Even if you don't have to be on the battlefield, when you have nothing to do, you can climb the wall of Xianyang Palace and enjoy the scenery of Xianyang City, which is also a pleasure.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly became excited, and then looked at Ying Yu.
"Father, this telescope was originally given to you."
"It's just that it's more difficult to polish the lens now. If you want to mass-produce, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while."
Ying Zheng was not polite when he heard the words, and happily put away the telescope.
"It's not appropriate to call it a telescope for such a fetish. In my opinion, it's better to call it a telescope."
"With this thing, you can have a panoramic view of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains."
Ying Yu was speechless for a moment.
I didn't expect Brother Zheng to have such a habit of naming names.
The last paper was like this, so it had to be named Qin Paper.
The telescope is just a telescope, it sounds better than Qin Jing.
......
With the passage of time, news of the construction of the Grand Canal has spread throughout Daqin.
Today's Xianyang City is many times more lively than before.
Children from hundreds of families gathered in Xianyang City.
Regarding the construction of the Grand Canal, there are different opinions, and various parties are arguing endlessly.
In this regard, the imperial court not only did not stop it, but built a debating hall for children from hundreds of schools to discuss in it.
People were even allowed to enter and watch.
Many exciting hawkers seized this business opportunity.
Numerous stalls were set up outside the debate hall, selling tea and various snacks, and the business was booming.
