Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 75 When a conspiracy is brewing (recommended)
Although it is only a scope on a crossbow, it only has a magnification effect of 4 times, which is much lower than the military telescopes of later generations, but it is far beyond the cognition of people of this era.When it was first handed to Cheng Yaojin, he didn't know how to use it, so it looked strange.Looking at thousands of miles, no matter how stupid Lao Cheng was, he knew he was looking with his eyes, but he stuffed his eyes without taking off the dust cover, which made Jinyu sweat profusely.

Jin Yu unscrewed the dust covers on both sides, made a demonstration with his eyes on the eyepiece, and then handed the scope to Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin has never seen such a sharp weapon for voyeurism?He took a deep breath of air between his teeth like a toothache, but his hands clenched the lens barrel tightly.Fortunately, it's made of alloy. If the plastic shell probably wouldn't be able to hold Lao Cheng's excited grip.

Qin Qiong had already experienced an astonishing feeling on the little thing like the compass, and now seeing Cheng Yaojin's tense muscles, he couldn't help but feel an itch in his heart, "What frightening thing did you see? It's coaxing you." , bring it to the old man to see."

"Brother, you can see it yourself, it's amazing! You can see it clearly from a thousand steps away! It's exactly as Gui Tang said, haha!" Cheng Yaojin handed the scope to Qin Qiong carefully, for fear that he would not understand Be careful to break it.

"Look, you are being careful, when did you look like an old lady?" Qin Qiong dismissed Cheng Yaojin's careful look, and put the scope in front of her eyes with one hand.Just after saying this, he quickly put his other hand on the scope to maintain better stability. The crutch in his hand fell to the ground crookedly without any support.Qin Qiong's mouth also changed from tightly closed to O-shaped, enough to stuff an egg.

"Gui Tang, is this thing made by you?" Qin Qiong came to his senses, knowing the importance of predicting the situation on the battlefield in advance, and wanted to see if there was a possibility of mass production, so he asked.

Jin Yu had already stated the reason he had thought up, and it was easy to say anyway, but the guilt in his heart was much weaker, and it was true that he did not make this thing himself, shaking his head and saying: "No, the boy is not so dexterous .”

"It's a pity." Feeling the benefits of a scope, Qin Qiong handed it back to Cheng Yaojin, and asked hopefully, "Is it difficult to make this thousand-mile telescope?"

"It's not difficult to understand the principle, but the lens is difficult." Jin Yu shook his head. Others passed through and made this and that. It seemed a bit embarrassing for him, and he could only make furniture with no technical content, even bricks and cement. The profit is not as high as that of glass.

"Is it possible to make it?" Qin Qiong understands the significance of this scope to the battlefield. Even if you build ten or eight at a high price, it will be a sharp weapon to predict the enemy thousands of miles away on the battlefield!
Jin Yu was entangled, why did Qin Qiongda hold on to him?Do you still say that it needs to be filled with nitrogen?Besides, this alloy cannot be made by ordinary forging. Although there is a small amount of glass produced now, not to mention whether the quality can meet the standard, even if it meets the standard, I don't even know how to polish the most basic lenses. How can I make it?So he simply broke Qin Qiong's mind: "Back to Uncle Qin, the kid only knows the principle. As for manufacturing, the kid doesn't have that ability, and this technical kid who polishes colored glaze doesn't know."

"Then who made these two things?" Qin Qiong asked playfully, holding the compass in his hand and pointing at the scope in Cheng Yaojin's hand.

"This```" Jin Yu concluded, thinking that the clansmen of later generations should be blamed, "These are all painstakingly made by the clansman of the boy, and the craftsmanship has been lost."

"Guitang always has his own reasons, haha." Qin Qiong is an old man, and with Jin Yu's flaws revealed for the first time, it is not difficult to guess that Jin Yu is lying, but he does not intend to get to the bottom of it, who can have no secrets ? "I won't ask any more questions, but it's best for Guitang to give it a try. These two objects are very important to our military affairs in the Tang Dynasty. If Guitang makes them, it will be a great contribution. When the time comes, I will ask His Majesty to thank you." The reward belongs to Tang."

After hearing this, Jin Yu smiled wryly and said: "It's not that the kid is evading, this kid really can't. The kid explained the principle clearly, maybe there will be that strange person who can create it in a hundred years."

"Are you stupid?" Cheng Yaojin was playing with the scope that he just got. Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu were so greedy that they could see through their eyes. Hearing what Jin Yu said, he put down the scope and scolded: "How can this craftsmanship be passed on casually? ?spendthrift!"

"What Zhijie said is true." Hearing Cheng Yaojin's reprimand, Qin Qiong agreed, "Such an important craftsmanship is nothing more than a family heirloom, so it must not be passed on casually."

"Yes, I would like to follow the instructions of the two seniors." Jin Yu didn't want to be troublesome, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking now, why did he take so many things on himself?If you have too many talents, you will be hated by others. Don't you listen to the saying that "the first rafters rot first"?

"That's right." Cheng Yaojin carefully covered the front and rear dust covers of the scope. Satisfied with Jin Yu's attitude, he turned around and said to Qin Qiong, "I will start preparing the bride price when I go back today, Brother Qin You can hurry up and prepare for the dowry, haha."

"The old man knows, so I need you to remind me? You don't want to put up some inconspicuous things." Qin Qiong sneered at Cheng Yaojin, and without waiting for him to reply, Jin Yu, who turned his head to one side, asked, "Return to the Tang Mansion." How many cooks are there?"

"Ten or so?" Jin Yu made a rough calculation, and together with the chefs on the construction site, he roughly reported a number.

Qin Qiong shook her head dissatisfied, "How can a dozen be used? Why do you have to prepare thirty cooks when you get married? How about this, the old man will arrange some cooks for you later, you can teach them carefully, and don't give them to you when the time comes." Shame."

The dishes made by Jinyu and the two princes have both tasted, and they are many times better than the current delicacies. Cheng Yaojin understood what Qin Qiong meant when he heard Qin Qiong's words. Of course, he was not to be outdone, and immediately said: "Old man also You can't stand by and watch, can you? Prepare ten cooks for Gui Tang."

Jin Yu was very depressed, how could he be so grandiose by stealing a teacher?Fortunately, these two people just warned themselves not to pass on their skills in private, but they couldn't refuse, so they could only show their gratitude, saluted and said: "Boy, thank you two seniors for your great kindness!"

"Guitang doesn't need to be polite." Qin Qiong is not as thick-skinned as Cheng Yaojin. If Cheng Yaojin might not blush when he heard Jinyu say this, Qin Qiong would still be a little embarrassed.After finishing speaking, Qin Qiong pretended to look at the sun, and changed the subject: "It's time to eat, let's go to the back hall."

Everyone followed Qin Qiong and walked towards the back hall. Cheng Huaimo kept whispering something to Qin Huaiyu along the way, which made Qin Huaiyu look at Jinyu uncontrollably.Cheng Huaimo smiled ambiguously, Qin Huaiyu blushed, and Jin Yu gave Cheng Huaimo a hard look when he found out.

The meal was very pleasant. During the dinner, Qin Jia said her request. Yang Ying held the chopsticks tightly and looked at Jin Yu nervously, afraid that he would say it would be difficult. When she saw Jin Yu's faint nod , then lowered his head in relief, Jin Yu was slightly taken aback by the momentary amorous feelings.

"There's nothing the young couple can't say, and there's no outsider here, do you use eyebrows to express affection?" Cheng Yaojin teased Jin Yu after discovering Yang Ying's strangeness.

"What do you know, you bastard? Stop talking nonsense here!" Qin Qiong reprimanded Cheng Yaojin, slowly put a mouthful of food into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and then said: "Your couple is flirting! "

Unable to see that the usually serious Qin Qiong actually had a joking side, the people at the table laughed unexpectedly, the difference was only between covering their mouths and laughing out loud.Qin Qiong's last sentence made the thin-skinned Yang Ying smile like a peach blossom in April, and buried her head in Qin Jia's arms, begging the godmother to make decisions for her.

"Okay, okay. Let's wait for the godmother to say something about your godfather." Qin Jiashi had laughed enough, and patted Yang Ying on the back to comfort her. "You old man, can't you say a few words less? What's wrong with the flirtatious look? Don't you think you have delayed the marriage of the young couple? It's the right thing to get their marriage done quickly."

"Godmother~" Yang Ying felt even more ashamed when she heard Qin Jia's teasing, and she didn't dare to raise her head to meet people.

A warm family dinner was spent with laughter. Afterwards, Jin Yu hurried home to prepare the things that Qin Jiashi said, thinking about what needs to be improved, because the wedding date has been roughly determined: the new mansion is built After that, Yang Ying was married.

*************
It is said that the person who picked up Jinyu's piece of paper filled with Chinese pinyin yesterday was none other than the one who attacked Jinyu at the beginning.Taking the piece of paper back, the little chubby Li Tai was like a treasure, but unfortunately he couldn’t read it, so there were such a group of people in Chang’an’s wine shops and Hushi markets: as long as they saw that they looked different from Han people, they would be asked if they recognized them. Those who know these words and look familiar will be invited to a private room to discuss for a while, and will be given a hush money when they leave (the little fat man is not stupid, he will not take people to his palace).

After a day of hard investigation, although the letters on the pieces of paper are not yet fully recognizable, and no one can spell out how to pronounce these words, it is still a harvest after all.

The little fat man now hates Jin Yu to the bone, has he ever suffered such a loss since he was a child?Being threatened by Jin Yu doesn't count, and the father was banned for a month because he taught Jin Yu a lesson.How does being grounded buy people's hearts?How to compete with the prince?Seriously, who is to blame for falling out of favor?Of course, a person who grew up in an environment like Little Fatty would not criticize himself, so he blamed Jin Yu for all his faults—he tried every means to click on Jin Yu to vent his hatred!
"You said this is the language of a small country to the west of Byzantium?" The little fat man frowned after hearing the report from the guard kneeling on the ground. He really couldn't figure out why Jin Yu could speak this language.

"Yes. But this place is too far away, and the subordinates can only find people from Byzantium to confirm it. As for what is written on it, no one understands it." The guard did not dare to hide anything, and reported it truthfully.

"Well, you did a good job. Since no one knows it, it's easy to handle." The little fat man frowned slightly after hearing the guard's words, and continued to order: "Try to find a way to say this is a secret letter of rebellion, and then secretly send it to The Crown Prince's House, you must let the people in the Prince's House know that it was written by that bastard Jin Guitang!" At the end of the speech, he was already gnashing his teeth, wishing to eat his flesh raw.

The little fat man's idea is quite simple. Since he is grounded, he can't let the prince's family dominate, and use the prince's suspicious psychology to provoke Jin Guitang.
