Shuai Guozhen saw the test field of beet in Qilian Mountain Dazhai in Jiuquan County, this year there are more than 50 beet mature, and more than 100 beets survive, Zhang Guolao let Shuai Guozhen and Xie Hong, Cui Hongsu all taste the beetroot and beet leaf soup, the three are well-informed people, and immediately see the prospect of beet promotion in the Central Plains. Knowing that the farming major of Mozhuo Academy is to grow sugar beets, Shuai Guozhen and Xie Hong took over the burden, and Cui Hongsu even said that Cui Yao had sent a letter and would let the Cui family fully support it.

Yang Chong expressed his gratitude to the three of them, and Xie Hong said politely: "Manager Yang, the Xie family still has a little people in Jiangnan, if someone grows it in the south, I will definitely get the seeds." ”

Zhang Bojian asked clearly, and said: "There are fresh vegetables in Guangzhou, which are grown by big cannibals, and I have seen them." Yang Chong, wait for me to go back and help you get seeds. ”

Yang Chong waved his hand and said: "Big brother, if you find out, send a little to Hexi, the most important thing is that you have to find a place to plant, and let Zhuge Quan arrange the race, and after three to five years, I will arrange someone to contact you." ”

Zhang Bojian bowed his head and said: "Brother, I understand your thoughts, there is one more vegetable on the table of the people of the Central Plains, this is the same big thing as food, I will do what you say, and wait for you to send someone over." ”

Yang Chong's meaning is understood by everyone in the house, that is, no matter how far he goes on the road to competing for power, and what the final outcome is, he must promote the sugar beet. When Cui Zhen left, Yang Chong specially talked to Cui Zhen once, and only said one thing, that is, how to promote sugar beets in the Central Plains; After Xie Hong and Cui Hongsu arrived in Zhangye, Yang Chong still talked about this issue.

Xie Hong and the two were originally skeptical, when they saw the planting base in Jiuquan and the plans of Yu Wenkai and Yang Chong in Mozhuo Academy, the two of them each wrote back to Louguandao and Cui's family to ask for help, Yang Chong was so ambitious, Louguandao argued for several days, and Shuai Guozhen finally came to Zhangye regardless of Qi Hui's opinion. Cui Hongsu's meaning was very simple, telling Cui Yao that if the family did not agree, he was willing to split up and help Yang Chong fulfill this wish independently; It's just a matter that may waste money, Cui Yao's reply to Hexi and express his support.

When they broke up, they heard that Zhang Bojian and Du Yan made an appointment to see the starry sky, and Shuai Guozhen and others also expressed interest; However, the next day, the three of them, like the bearded guest Zhang Bojian, were still stunned by the two astronomical telescopes in the Guantian Pavilion of the County Guard's Mansion. Yang Chong and Du Yan's Guantian Pavilion was in the county guard's mansion, a three-story stone roof, with two small houses built separately, each with a long Guantian Sphere.

The celestial observatory made by Yang Chong is an astronomical telescope, with two mirror tubes, the larger one is the primary mirror, which is used to observe the target; The small one is called a star finder, which is used to find a target, and is also called a scope. The first one is rougher, with a plano-convex lens as the objective lens and a concave lens as the eyepiece, with a diameter of one and a half inches and a length of about one meter. Although he could observe a series of changes in the sky scenery, Yang Chong was not satisfied with the results.

Later, with the help of Pang Huan and Yu Jianzi, the second one was made, the size was about the same, but two double-convex lenses were used as the objective lens and eyepiece respectively, and through refraction, the magnification was significantly improved, and Yang Chongcai was slightly satisfied. But the third lengthening of the mirror body failed, and Yang Chong had too many things to do, so he could only give this task to Pang Huan and Yu Jianzi.

Rao is so, Du Yan is already very satisfied, facing the vast sky in the lens, looking at all kinds of natural star maps is fascinated, at the beginning of the ten days almost no thoughts, as soon as the night comes, he runs up to the Sky Pavilion, taking turns to watch the scenery between the two Sky Observation Instruments. Pang Huan accompanied him for a few days, and cautiously asked if he could let the students of the academy come to appreciate it, but after being rejected by Du Yan, he could only go back to Yang Chong and ask for another one.

Yang Chong simply asked Pang Huan to transform the failed third one into one, and temporarily gave up this kind of scientific research project; However, Yang Chong made a request, one year after the astronomical telescope was given to the college, the college would open a subject of astronomy. Zhang Bojian and others sat down one after another, looking at the scenery of the sky through the celestial sphere, the clarity is the only one in their lives, red, yellow, halo, nebula, more clear than what the naked eye can see, how much stranger.

Du Yan introduced on the side, especially pointing to the moon to explain, the surface of the moon is a mountain and a big pit, as for Zhang Bojian's question, Du Yan said very chicly, he just looked at the scenery, and asked Yang Chong to answer the questions. The four of them kept seeing the sky white, and they were all stunned when they heard Du Yan introduce Qimin Xing, and they were all stunned when they heard that Du Yan's Qixing and Chang Gengxing were the same star, revolving around the sun.

Zhang Bojian wanted to speak and stopped, Du Yan saw that Zhang Bojian wanted this kind of equipment verification, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "I mean don't panic, when Yang Chong unifies the Central Plains, Pang Huan's discipline should have graduates, and at that time, not only equipment, but also people." ”

Zhang Bojian is a person of great wisdom, and when he heard this, he immediately understood what Du Yan meant, the Observatory is a piece of equipment, and getting it back is just a novelty, so if you want to use the Observatory to do something, you should wait until the right person comes out. Zhang Bojian stroked his palm and smiled: "It's me who is confused for a while, thank you for reminding me." However, as far as I rush to the Tianyi, I will stay in Zhangye for a while longer, and wait for the freshness to pass before leaving. ”

Shuai Guozhen and others smiled and nodded, after Zhang Bojian lost to Li Shimin in a game of chess, he no longer wanted to dominate the world, people's mentality has changed a lot, in the past, this was a plaything, Zhang Bojian was busy with business every day, how could he have time to stop and play. Cui Hongsu arched his hand to the four of them and said, "Yang Chong's wedding is imminent, and there is still something to do in the firm, so I will leave first." ”

Shuai Guozhen and Xie Hong also said goodbye one after another, Du Yan went back to the study for a while, and saw that Zhang Bojian had not come down before going to the office, so he had to tell his family to prepare the room and food, entertain Zhang Bojian's entourage, and wait for Zhang Bojian to be tired, and then arrange a meal and rest. Zhang Bojian didn't go downstairs until noon, didn't eat a bite, went directly to the room to sleep, slept until dusk, got up, freshened up, ate something, and ran up to the Guantian Pavilion to watch; The family is not surprised, the old man Du Yan was also such a magic obstacle at the beginning, and then he got better.

For a few days, Zhang Bojian stayed in the county guard's mansion, and Yang Chong also sent someone to ask once, knowing that the situation was not disturbed, only the day before the wedding, people came to take Zhang Bojian to the Yang Mansion to rest. Zhang Bojian saw that Yang Chong still asked a lot of questions in his heart, Yang Chong couldn't help but say: "Big brother, like Du Yan, I just like to play." If you want to observe the celestial sphere, I will ask someone to make one for you, and you will come to pick it up in a year, if you ask about those celestial phenomena, spare me, I might as well chat with my wife when I am free. ”

Everyone laughed, Jiang Fei stood beside Yang Chong, and couldn't help but take a sip, the guy who was not in shape.
