Lao Zhu didn't dare to imagine that the treasure he regarded as a fetish was drummed out by a group of half-old children, although Zhu Xiaoer didn't mention Ma Du in half a sentence, his guidance must be indispensable behind him.

A few days ago, the queen came back from Fangshan, and said that the academy would have a small result, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and this achievement was not small in his opinion.

Lao Zhu knocked on the telescope in his hand and asked, "How much does this thing cost?" ”

Zhu Xiaoer replied: "Back to my father, this telescope wasted a lot of crystals during trial production, if calculated according to the market price, the cost of silver is not less than a thousand taels, and now with a complete set of production technology, the cost of each can be reduced to about twenty taels." ”

"Oh, it's still a little more expensive." Lao Zhu saw his son looking at him with puzzled eyes and said: "I have an army of nearly one million, I don't know how many generals there are, and there are even more scouts, so it is a big expense." ”

Zhu Xiaoer felt that such a treasure could be used by high-ranking generals at most, but he didn't expect his father to have such a bold mind, "No wonder my uncle told me that he could supply a large number of high-quality crystals to the imperial court at a low price, I am afraid that he had long expected that his father would make a large number of telescopes." If the price given by the uncle is followed, the cost is only half of the original. ”

"Haha...... He was bent on getting money out of me, and this time he was afraid that he would succeed. Lao Zhu smiled and asked, "He doesn't have any other requirements?" ”

"Yes! Uncle said, "I hope you will allow him to make this and buy it." Zhu Xiaoer said and took out a pair of glasses without a pair of glasses from his sleeve, and he gestured to the top of his eyes, "With this, you are not afraid of presbyopia, and the gentlemen in the academy like it very much." The reason why my uncle asked for instructions was because this kind of lens was the same as one of the lenses on the telescope, and now it should belong to military supplies. ”

Lao Zhu took his glasses and looked at them in his eyes, "Dizzy!" ”

"This shows that my father's body is Kangtai and there is no presbyopia!"

Lao Zhu put his glasses into his sleeve, "Since it's a military material, don't let him buy and sell, just give it to the gentleman of the academy!" Didn't he ask for anything else? ”

Zhu Xiaoer shook his head and said, "No! ”

"I still have something to deal with, you can go to the middle palace to see your queen mother." Lao Zhu suddenly thought of something, "By the way, the second child, you are not too young, so don't live in the palace in the future." Looking at Zhu Xiaoer's blank look, Lao Zhu smiled and said, "Tomorrow, I will order the Ministry of Rites to open a mansion for you." ”

Zhu Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, he had subordinate officials and guards when he opened the mansion and built a government, and he was a real prince, no longer an empty title, he immediately bowed to the ground, "Son, thank you father Emperor Longen!" ”

"Go, after reading your mother, go back to the academy early, hehe......" Old Zhu watched Zhu Rong go out of the palace door with a smile, and whispered to himself after a while, "You don't make a request, but I can't help but give it, it's the Royal Academy." ”

After Lao Zhu finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote two notes and handed them to Yuan Sheng, "Take them to Song Pu and send them to the academy!" ”

The old guys of the academy didn't expect that the students would be able to spray telescopes when they sprayed water. For this kind of far-sighted thing, a few old men also shouted magically, but the telescope is not of much use to them, and they can't go to the Qinhuai River with the students to peek at the girl taking a bath.

Reading glasses should be their love, and they regard them as treasures one by one, as their second pair of eyes. The happiest person is Yuan Jiuli, and at his strong request, Ma Du also gave him a pair, so that he finally felt a little fair.

Without glasses, he hung a thin strap on his ears, and when he heard the handyman of the academy ring the bell, Yuan Jiuli hurriedly put on his glasses and went to the classroom with the textbooks.

Looking at the fluttering appearance under his feet, Ma Du couldn't help sighing, obviously he didn't have presbyopia, he had to wear a pair of glasses, and if he didn't give him, he would cry and make trouble and hang himself, and find Zhu Sheng to sue.

Other gentlemen just wear it when they read and write, but he has to wear it all the time, for fear that others will not see that he has this thing, and he also told Madu that he is dizzy and nauseous, and it took several days to get used to it, and it is certain that he is really presbyopia now.

The most annoying little brother of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhang's opening of the mansion made Zhu Xiaosan and Zhu Xiaosi envious, jealous and hateful, and they thought that the biggest reason why Zhu Fan was able to open the mansion and build the government was to get out of the telescope with his classmates.

There is a precedent to follow, and the brothers are naturally learning from each other, and the brothers, who have never liked to learn, have often asked Madu for advice recently. Zhu Xiaosan patted the things in his hand, "Uncle, I think the slow shooting power of the barrel of the musket is small, like me, if I make more than a dozen barrels, will the power of non-stop firing be greater." ”

"Absolutely! If you succeed, we'll call it the Gatling Gun, but I think it's better not to use reeds for the barrel, as it's easy to blow up. ”

As soon as Zhu Xiaosan's front foot left, Jing Nan Sanxiong came sneakily, Zhu Xiaosi put things on Ma Du's table, "Uncle, this is a model of our three newly researched invincible cannons, which can shoot hundreds of miles and kill tens of millions, uncle hurriedly found a craftsman to make it, if it is done, don't forget the three of us." ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Jinglong and Ping'an behind him sneered, Ma Du fixed his eyes and saw that the thing on the table was clearly made of mud, and the barrel was thick in front and thin like a mushroom, looking up at the sky with a wide arc, arrogant and arrogant.

While Madu was observing the invincible cannon, the three bastards laughed and ran out of the office. Madu smiled, "It's quite realistic!" He doesn't know if he can shoot a hundred miles, but he will definitely be able to kill and injure tens of millions! As soon as he stretched out his fingers, he halved the shell.

The appearance of the telescope is to tell Lao Zhu that the academy has produced results, although these students have not yet graduated, but they are already contributing to the country, which is a hundred times stronger than the Tai students of the Guozijian, even if there is not much money to subsidize the academy, the policy should always be given, right?

Lao Zhu is a person who understands, Ma Du Xiao Jiujiu he can feel it clearly, in order for the academy to continue to make something good, Lao Zhu made a holy decree on the same day. The first decree commended the research achievements of the College and the students who participated in the production of telescopes, which was of course a verbal commendation of Hui and Hui.

As for the second holy decree, it shows Lao Zhu's sincerity. If the students of the college are admitted to Xiucai, they do not need to go to the prefecture or county school where their household registration is located, and the college is responsible for supervising the assessment. Another rule is that the students of the academy have the same right as the students of the Guozi Eunuch to be directly admitted to the Jinshi, but there is an age limit and the recommendation of the mountain chief.

Lao Zhu obviously doesn't want those children with snot hair that hasn't grown yet to participate in the exam. However, this is already an extraordinary gift, after all, Guozijian is a state institution and the academy is not.
