Before the game, if someone asked Li Chengqian, what was the largest number of sales for holding a polo match?

Li Chengqian's answer will undoubtedly be the ticket.

But as it turned out, his answer was wrong.

Because according to post-event statistics, the Chang'an Cup Polo Tournament sold the most not tickets, but telescopes!

At the end of a race, there are often a lot of tickets left, and the simple telescopes that are piled together as toys will be sold out, and every day, day after day, no matter how much is taken out, it will be sold out in an instant.

Wang Xuance was very worried about this matter, and specially found Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty, the minister suspects that someone is hoarding telescopes, and you should order the sale of this paramilitary equipment to be stopped." ”

Li Chengqian seemed to have known that such a situation would occur, without any surprised expression on his face, and even asked with a smile: "Why?" ”

"Your Majesty, telescopes are only available in Datang, this, this is military equipment." Wang Xuance persuaded bitterly.

He didn't know why Li Chengqian, who had always advocated a technological blockade with foreign countries, would sell telescopes on a whim, he only knew that this thing could observe the enemy's situation from a long distance, which was equivalent to the legendary clairvoyance, and if it was mastered by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But to his surprise, Li Chengqian just shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Xuan Ce, this thing is actually not as harmful as you think, if someone really hoards this thing, I will make his wife and children who he pays for not able to keep." ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Listen to me." Li Chengqian waved his hand to interrupt Wang Xuance, and then said: "My Datang's military equipment is a complete system, from the previous steel crossbows, bed crossbows, catapults, to the current rifles, bazookas, artillery, each stage is an independent system, you know this, right?" ”

"Yes, I know." Wang Xuance nodded.

Li Chengqian showed a satisfied smile, and then continued: "If the weapons and equipment of the Tang Dynasty are compared to a person, the telescope is equivalent to a person's eyes, and the rifle and artillery are equivalent to a person's hands and feet, you don't deny this, right?" ”

"Yes." Wang Xuance continued to nod.

"Do you think an enemy with only eyes but no hands or feet can pose a threat to us?"

"This ......" Wang Xuance hesitated for a moment, but quickly reacted: "Your Majesty, that's not what you said, the main role of the telescope is still used for reconnaissance at the moment, you sell it all over the world, in case there is a war in the future, isn't it that the enemy can also reconnoiter us from a distance?" ”

"No, no, no, telescopes do much more than that." Li Chengqian shook his head: "It has many functions, but its production process is too simple, as long as you see it once, you can basically imitate it immediately." ”

"Imitation?" Wang Xuance keenly grasped the key point in Li Chengqian's words, and said with a frown.

"Yes, imitation, do you think that if we don't sell this thing, those aliens won't be able to make it? No, they have been able to make it for a long time, it's just that they don't have the process to make clear glass, so even if they know how to make a telescope, there is no way to mass produce it. ”

Because of the relationship with the Sixth Group, Li Chengqian knew a little bit about some foreign situations, and telescopes were consumables, and those aliens could collect them more or less on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this that Li Chengqian started the idea of selling telescopes, anyway, now because of the improvement of the glass manufacturing process and the improvement of the production process, the double-barreled telescopes have begun to be put into use, and the previous monoculars will face elimination.

And since it is to be eliminated, it is too much of a pity to throw them away, so it is better to sell them all and recover some of the costs.

It's not easy to make money these days, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, for a little money, Li Chengqian doesn't plan to ask for his face, and when those aliens come, he will personally sell the equipment that has been eliminated by the military.

Wang Xuance heard that the great supremacy had already understood what Li Chengqian meant, and said hesitantly: "But, isn't it okay to sell this to the outside world?" After all, this thing is more or less a controlled product. ”

"It's no longer a controlled product, and the ones sold on the market now are some civilian products, both in terms of clarity and distance, it's okay if you use it for fun, but if it's really used on the battlefield, the thing will break down in three days." Li Chengqian said with a wicked smile.

"What?" Wang Xuance was stunned again.

"Since I dare to sell this thing, and I sell it so cheaply, there is naturally a reason for it." Li Chengqian sat up straight, and said with a wicked smile: "There are still tens of thousands of catties of glass produced by the old process over there, and it is a pity that these are directly broken, so it is better to let them come in handy for the last time." ”

What can Wang Xuance say, Li Chengqian's bottom limit has been refreshed countless times, this time if it is calculated, it should belong to a more conscientious one, at least those telescopes he sells are not expensive, one is only twenty yuan, if the cost is removed, it should not make too much money.

But thinking about what Li Chengqian just said, Wang Xuance faintly realized that he seemed to have ignored something, and tried to recall it, and found that it was the words 'old craft'.

Knowing with such thoughts, Wang Xuance blinked his eyes and asked with some uncertainty: "Your Majesty, do we have a better telescope now?" ”

"Of course, I'm not a fool, how could I sell equipment all over the world without something better!" Li Chengqian smiled very happily, turned around and took down a black thing on his bookshelf, and walked to Wang Xuance's side: "Try this, the big side is facing outward, and the small one is facing your eyes." ”

What Li Chengqian handed to Wang Xuance was a one that was extremely close to the style of a modern telescope, except that the knob for adjusting the focal length was changed to a handle, everything else was basically the same.

It is also equipped with prisms, the same high-definition glass lenses, and the ten-fold zoom can instantly pull shadows from miles away in front of you, and there are no vague spots like before.

Wang Xuance was once again taken aback by the madmen of the Academy of Sciences, no matter what, he could not have imagined that the technology of telescopes had developed to such a point today.

Think about the situation that in the past, the monocular telescope was like carrying a big stone on its back, and it was vague to see things and things mostly only by guessing, and now the telescope is simply an artifact-like existence.

It's no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor wants to sell all the previous telescopes, and if he replaces them, he will probably take them out and sell them. ()
