Chapter Seventy-Eight: Failure is the Hemp of Success
Ruan Bai likes to hoard some materials when he has nothing to do, and there are not many things that need to be purchased. And the telescope will definitely not be equipped in large quantities, at most...... Well, Ruan Bai wanted to match Chu Hao's personal soldiers.
He knew that Chu Hao had been carrying out the elite army plan before he came. In fact, every general will do this, but they will only start to act after they are promoted to a certain position, and the most important thing is that if they don't have that position, they will not have enough resources to train their own soldiers. Especially some people who come from the grassroots, all their experience comes from fighting with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, and if they don't get to that position, they can't accumulate enough experience to train their own soldiers.
The most typical example in front of you is Cao Jiajun. That can be regarded as the Cao family's training from generation to generation. The various resources consumed in it are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Therefore, don't look at the civil official group in the court, there are more or less four or five people in the family who are officials in the court, plus the intricate relationship between the protégé and the old countryman and the same list, as long as you know a little about business, you can generally live a very nourishing life. But can they afford to raise soldiers? At most, they can maintain a few nursing homes.
Although on the surface, the soldiers are all raised by the imperial court. In fact, everyone knows where the money used by the imperial court to raise soldiers is spent. Some noble families, as long as they have a little military power in their hands, which family doesn't make up for it themselves? As for this, the soldiers only know the generals who lead the army, and they don't know the affairs of the Son of Heaven, even if they don't say that they are self-inflicted, there is a cause and an effect.
Like Ruan Bai, after he came down from the border pass, although he was not conspicuous, there were many ways to get money, and the backers behind him were hard enough, but he didn't have any extra money. It can be said that a small half of the money earned was used on Zhang Daniu and a few of them.
He's experimenting with special forces. The four initial post guards can satisfy him in all aspects. Zhang Daniu and Zhou Dahu's physical conditions were affirmed by Tian Kaifu. Tang Xinhou looks thin, in fact, you can see that he occupies the first place in the assessment every month, and he is definitely a very role. According to Chu Hao's inference, most of Tang Xinhou's skills have been cultivated since childhood, even if he suffered a catastrophe in the middle and lost a little foundation, he himself knows some conditioning, and now he is slowly recovering.
Xu Liu's physique is slightly worse, but in terms of mind and craftsmanship, the three of them are not as good as him. In Chu Hao's words, Xu Liu's current cultural knowledge, there is no problem to take the test for a child or something. As for Ruan Bai himself, he seems to have only learned the basics, and has been studying on his own since then. Since Tian Kaifu left, Chu Hao didn't have time to watch his studies all the time, and only answered when Ruan Bai encountered a question he didn't understand, and he had to "charge".
Ruan Bai thought about Chu Hao's various fee items, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, I don't know if Chu Hao is interested in learning some physical chemistry knowledge, he must charge the tuition fee gently, well, gently.
King Yue Ze looked at the stove and was bored, and when he turned around, he saw Ruan Bai's expression, and the whole person was suddenly stunned: "Ah Bai, don't laugh like this, it's weird." ”
Tsk, isn't it weirdly cute? Ruan Bai pursed his lips and withdrew his reverie, making his expression serious.
Unlike the two of them, several officials from the Ministry of Industry were already red-eyed at the moment. Originally, they thought that it should be a simple thing to make the glass colorless and bubble-free, but after three days of failure, they had blisters on their lips, and even lifted their sleeves to make zuò by hand.
Ruan Bai sat in the hot room, drinking iced sour plum soup, watching a few civil officials who had been exercising for three days and slowly developing from white chopping chicken to three yellow chickens...... Well, life is in motion. Men still look good if they have chicken/muscle.
King Yue Ze also sat on the stool and drank a sip of iced sour plum soup, and his eyes narrowed: "You will enjoy it if you are still Bai." Speaking of which, you still have ice? ”
"Not saved, freshly made." When he came, he could have been in time for the ice season, but at that time, not to mention that time did not allow digging ice cellars at all, even if there was enough time, no one could dig it. has been a slave on the grassland for more than a month, and he has not been a master for so long. If a person's body wants to be well nourished, it must be recuperated over the years, where can it be replenished after two or three months of eating and drinking?
"Ready-made? What is it made of? ”
"Saltpeter." Ruan Bai still found it from a pile of things packed by King Yue Ze. Saltpeter seems to have been used by some literati to mix paint paints in the Great Zhou Dynasty. When he saw it, he thought of a long list of thermal weapons for a moment, but this kind of thing that disrupted the balance, he was still a little hesitant for the time being. Of course, he didn't hesitate to do a little bit at all, leaving a few for himself to defend himself, and then stuffing a few for his family to play at the right time.
He used the rest to make ice. There are a lot of saltpeter reserves here in the northwest, and the saltpeter used to make ice can be reused, and an ice basin is placed in the house in summer, which can barely be used as an air conditioner.
"Huh?"
Ruan Bai saw that King Yue Ze still didn't understand, so he directly found a piece of saltpeter from the cabinet and gave it to him.
"Oh!" King Yue Ze suddenly realized, looked back at the cabinet that occupied one wall, and nodded, "This is good, I'll make one when I go back." ”
Ruan Bai's was originally an abandoned medicine cabinet, and it was second-hand furniture that he bought when he went shopping in Leyang Town. It is said that an old doctor passed away, and there was no successor in the family, and the medicine cabinet was useless, so it was released, accompanied by a few medical books.
Although the medicine cabinet has been around for some years, it is well maintained, and some small defects have also been repaired by Xu Liu. Now it's quite easy to use as a sample cabinet. But he figured out that he had to change the place of the cabinet. Otherwise, the temperature in the workshop is so high, it is not good to continue to put it here.
Tang Yan and the others were doing rigorous scientific practice and working hard to contribute to the national defense force, but there were two people behind them drinking sour plum soup while babbling and talking, not to mention how bad it felt.
But do they dare to squeak? Can't! They don't even have the courage to look back! Infinite grievances converge in the chest...... Isn't it just a piece of broken glass, get it out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible!
I don't know if their feelings moved the heavens, or if they found enough hemp for the bear child of Chenggong, and two days later they finally "born" the colorless, transparent and bubbleless glass.
Then the technical nerves of the pure theoretical school in the past seemed to have opened up the second vein of Ren Du, and under the instruction of the king of the true technical house, they quickly made the convex lens concave lens or something. It doesn't matter if the size is a little different, it's not too simple to polish and polish.
It didn't take long for the first telescope in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty to be manufactured and fell into the hands of Chu Hao.
Chu Hao's reason is very simple: "This is what my second brother made for me!" ”
In the face of this true killing god, a group of technical nerds dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only complain silently in their hearts: Your second brother has opened his mouth from beginning to end, and he has not started at all, and he has given us a chance to practice. Ma Dan, don't look at these two people are not the same surname, this shameless appearance is the same.
Ruan Bai of course supported unconditionally and nodded: "Well, I did it for you." "Chu Hao's team is currently doing the most work as scouts, and they need binoculars very much.
Chu Hao had a stern and upright face, and when he turned his back to face Ruan Bai alone, he smiled so much that his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears, and he hugged Ruan Bai crookedly and greasy, kissing and kissing, kissing and kissing.
In the end, Ruan Bai couldn't stand it and pushed Chu Hao away a little: "Be good, go to bed early." Tomorrow I will discuss the price with General Cao, and I will make a few more in the next few days. "It's handmade, it's tiring to think about, but fortunately there are skilled workers and technical consultants. He, the boss, is only responsible for the hardest work of counting money. The money of these years is all metal, but it can sink and sink.
Chu Hao thought about the telescope he had just tried, although it was late and he couldn't see much, it was not difficult to know that once this kind of thing appeared, it would have an immeasurable effect on the mastery of the fighter. Although his second brother doesn't go to the battlefield, who said that he is not a hot-blooded man! Tomorrow, he must let General Cao make a bloody trip!
The former postman watched as the cell boss placed a pot in front of him for an unknown reason, and then took a large pot to feed the horses, tender horse grass, eggs, and salt-fried beans.
"I'm a human being, you can't let me eat worse than an animal!"
Tang Xinhou didn't raise his eyelids: "They are pregnant, are you pregnant?" ”
The former post man checked his body and found that he didn't have that function, so he sighed and picked up the bowl to eat, the chopsticks were one long and one short, and the bowl was broken: "Isn't Lord Yicheng quite rich?" Can you still find these junks at home? ”
This time, Tang Xinhou looked at him with serious eyes, and his face with more hideous lines after long flesh was full of seriousness: "I can't find it at home." Therefore, I deliberately went to the barracks to exchange good ones with others. "Why let the traitor eat good and use it well?
The former post man was dumbfounded, do you need to do this? Fortunately, Tang Xinhou just made some hands and feet on the dishes and chopsticks, the things were still very clean, and the food was just piled up together, and it tasted good. He finished eating quickly, handed the dishes and chopsticks back, and then Ren Tang Xinhou tied his hands again, while chattering: "Brother, how long do you say that adults will keep me in prison?" ”
In the first two days, he still wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape, but don't look at Tang Xinhou most of the time only looking at him alone, Tang Xinhou's body looks very thin, but he has not been able to please once, and now the bruise on his face still hurts.
Tang Xinhou quickly finished tying up the fine work, and asked rhetorically: "Why, you are so anxious to die?" ”
The former post man was stunned fiercely, and then said slowly: "That's not true." It's just that it's hanging on the ground like this, the taste in my heart...... Alas......"
Tang Xinhou glanced at him lazily and continued to take care of the horses with cubs.
The whole person of the former post is entangled. In fact, the situation is much better than he imagined. Those who do their job, once the matter is exposed, basically no one will end well, and even if they can escape their lives at that time, they will most likely be chased by at least two parties. Of course, the injured party wants to know who is going to deal with it, and the directing party certainly does not want the other party to know. The fine work sandwiched in it is the least trusted party. Even if they don't divulge any information, they won't die well.
But when is the end of the day? When a meticulous work is caught, when he is forgotten by the bitter master, what kind of Cheng dù has he failed?
