"Master Su, you can't take it seriously, right?"

Hao Tong asked cautiously, in his impression, Su Hao was not the kind of person who fell into the eyes of money, otherwise he would not have given a priceless glass formula to his uncle. How did he get to this worthless telescope, but Su Hao was still stingy?

Su Hao shook his head and said, "I'm telling you seriously. You don't think this telescope is worth much, but have you ever thought that before I invented this telescope, you couldn't buy this thing for any amount of money. If the invention does not get a high return, who will want to invent something new in the future? ”

"What Master Su said also makes some sense." Hao Tong turned his head and discussed with Deng Kui.

Deng Kui whispered: "Old Hao, this telescope was made by your uncle, if they can make one, they can make ten, why do we have to buy it from Master Su?" Isn't it the same if you ask your uncle to buy it? ”

Hao Tong smiled bitterly: "Old Deng, you don't want to think about what my uncle is, this telescope was invented by Master Su, without Master Su's permission, no matter how much money you take, my uncle will not do it for us." He would rather smash all those glass pieces than go against Master Su's intentions. ”

"He dares!" Deng Kui said with his eyes narrowed.

"You dare!" Hao Tong glared at Deng Kui and shouted.

"Lao Hao, Lao Hao, I didn't mean that." Deng Kui then remembered that Hao Yizong was still Hao Tong's uncle, and he obviously couldn't use force against Hao Yizong.

In fact, if they hadn't seen the production process of the telescope in advance, especially if they didn't know that the cost of making glass could be so low, Deng Kui and Hao Tong would not hesitate to pay 100 taels of silver to buy this telescope. They can fully believe that their white spoon coach Deng Zilong will not say a word about this deal, and will even praise them for buying cheaply.

But after watching the whole production process, I know that the cost of raw materials for this telescope is a few dollars of silver, and the manual cost is no more than one or two, and then let them take out 100 taels, it will hurt a little.

Su Hao looked at Erjin with a grin, waiting for them to make a counteroffer. In Su Hao's heart, he didn't plan to really insist on the price of 100 taels, and the other party gave 50 taels or even 20 taels, so he agreed. Telescopes are important equipment for the army, and the number of needs will definitely not be small, and he will be able to earn a lot of money. What's more, even if it's 20 taels, it's a huge profit.

The two parties were at a stalemate, only to hear a call outside the door: "Is Xiu'er at home?" ”

Lu Xiu'er was standing beside Su Hao at this time, watching him bargain with the two soldiers, and he didn't know whether to interject. Hearing the sound outside the door, she stood up, greeted her with a smile, and shouted, "I'm here, Sister Han, Honglian, you're here." ”

Su Hao also moved to the door when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Han Qian and Yahuan Honglian standing outside the door. The second entered the door under the guidance of Lu Xiu'er, and Han Qian saluted Su Hao and the others: "Master Su, Master Hao, Master Deng." ”

Zhong Jin naturally hurriedly returned the salute to Han Qian, and Su Hao asked, "Miss Han, come to our house early in the morning, is there anything wrong?" ”

Han Qian looked at Su Hao, then at Deng Kui and Hao Tong, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Master Su, the day before yesterday, the little girl promised you to find a way to make a map. Today, I brought the map I made over, and I want to ask Su Gongzi to evaluate it or two. ”

"Oh, you've made the map!" Su Hao was overjoyed, "Take it out and let us enjoy it." ”

Han Qian turned around and stretched out her hand to the red lotus, who handed over a small cloth bag to Han Qian's hand, and by the way, handed over the large volume of sketches that she had taken from Su Hao to Lu Xiu'er, who found a place to put them away without mentioning it.

Han Qian put the small cloth bag on the table, opened the wrapping skin, took out a white silk cloth from it, and unfolded it carefully. Everyone stepped forward to take a look, and they couldn't help but open their mouths wide and snort.

It turned out that this silk cloth was a map made by Han Qian. Instead of using a pen to draw the picture, she adopted the method of embroidery, with each silk thread representing a contour line. The filament is extremely thin in diameter, which allows for enough map elements to fit in a limited area. A piece of white silk, which was only two feet square, actually contained the map of Xuanfeng Township drawn by Su Hao completely.

"This, this, this...... Miss Han, your hands are so skillful. Su Hao praised sincerely. Such a solution, that is, only girls can think of it, and everyone in those years was really ingenious.

Han Qian saw Su Hao's gaze on her hands, and hurriedly hid her hands behind her, her face overflowing with a flush of excitement and shyness. Honglian said half-proudly and half-complainingly on the side: "Hmph, what do you say, my young lady has been embroidering this thing since she went back the day before yesterday, and she has stayed up for two nights." ”

Halo o...... Another one who was hurt by me to stay up late, Su Hao was full of self-blame, and he said to Han Qian: "Miss Han, it turns out that the method you said is to use the method of embroidery." In fact, you don't have to do it yourself, find a few embroidery girls to do it, and you can guide it on the side. ”

Han Qian said: "The little girl only had a vague idea at that time, and she couldn't figure out how to do it. This map, the little woman also tried many times before she found the trick. However, if you want to make such a map again in the future, I'm afraid it won't take so much time. ”

"It's so hard for you." Su Hao said, he turned to Deng Kui and Hao Tong and said, "Two, please see, is such a map practical in the army?" ”

"It's so practical!" Deng Kui replied, "Such a map, coupled with a telescope, can be the two most powerful weapons for our army's scouts. With these two things, we will no longer be blind to the march and fight. ”

"Master Su, this map, plus this telescope, my subordinates want to borrow it for a few days, can I?" Hao Tong held the telescope in one hand, picked up the white silk map on the table with the other, and said to Su Hao. Just now, in order to go out to greet Han Qian, Su Hao put the telescope on the table casually, but Hao Tong quickly "smoothed" it.

Su Hao said: "This map is a map of Xuanfeng Township, what does it have to do with you?" ”

Hao Tong smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table, and then before Su Hao came back to his senses, he had already rushed out of the room. Lu Xiu'er reacted the fastest, turned around and wanted to chase him, Deng Kui stretched out a thick arm, blocking Lu Xiu'er's way. It seems that this is not the first time that these two guys have cooperated in this kind of robbery, and they also know that one is in the robbery, and the other is in the cover.

Lu Xiu'er said angrily: "Brother Deng, what are you doing here? My brother hasn't said yes or no, you still dare to steal things. ”

Deng Kui smirked and said, "Xiu'er, Master Su will definitely allow it, our brother just thinks Master Su is too Luosuo, so he will cut it first and then play." ”

"Brother, why do you think they are like this?" Lu Xiuer turned her head and complained to Su Hao.

Su Hao picked up the piece of paper that Hao Tong threw down before leaving, looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Okay, Xiu'er, even if I allow them." ”

"What is this?" Lu Xiu'er pointed to the piece of paper in Su Hao's hand and asked.

Su Hao said: "This is the silver ticket left by Mr. Tu, 500 taels of silver with full color tattoos, it is enough to buy this telescope and a map." ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Han Qian, only to see a lonely look on her face, and after a little hesitation, he understood her thoughts. The map that was embroidered after two nights of hard work at home was actually sold by Su Hao like this, which must be quite depressing.

"Miss Han, don't be sad, I'll just get that map back when I go back." Su Hao comforted.

Han Qian also knew that her performance was a little too much, and she didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Su Hao, she always felt that this map was embroidered for Su Hao by herself, and it was always a sad thing to be taken away. You can think about it carefully, this map was originally intended to be given to Su Hao, but it really can't be done, and I will embroider one for Su Hao in the future. Hao Tong is willing to leave a silver ticket of 500 taels of silver to borrow this map, it must be useful, looking at Su Hao's meaning, it seems that he does not object to this.

"Su Gongzi's words are serious, it's just a silk embroidery, since Su Gongzi is willing to let Hao Ye take it, the little woman has no complaints." Han Qian said in a low voice.

"Uh...... This kind of map, if used for marching and fighting, can bring great benefits, allowing soldiers to shed less blood and sacrifice less. Hao Tong took it, presumably to verify its effect, and when he came back, I would definitely ask him for it. This method invented by Miss Han is very good, and we will use this method when we make maps in the future. I know that there are a lot of embroidery girls in the county, and I can let them do these things. Su Hao said.

Han Qian nodded, then bowed to Su Hao, and said, "The little girl is here to send the picture, since the picture has been approved by Su Gongzi, the little woman will leave first." In the future, if you can use the little girl's place, please ask Su Gongzi to tell him. ”

"Okay, you've stayed up for two nights, you must be tired, let's go back and rest first. When I want to ask you for help in the future, I'll invite you again. Su Hao said.

Sending Han Qian away, Su Hao asked Deng Kui: "Old Deng, Hao Tong snatched my map and binoculars, what did he go?" ”

"This ...... It is inconvenient for subordinates to disclose it. Deng Kui lowered his hand and said, looking at his eyes, he should know very well where Hao Tong went, maybe these two guys had already discussed how to do it.

"Well, you can do whatever you like." Su Hao said, he waved the silver ticket in his hand, and said, "I borrowed your white spoon from this money, and I will use binoculars and flintlock pistols to pay it back in the future." Now that you've got everything you should have, no matter what I do, you won't be involved, right? ”

"How dare your subordinates." Deng Kui replied, "However, Hao Tong has explained to me that Master Su has a unique skill and cannot be taken lightly, so no matter where Master Su goes in the future, I have to stay an inch, so as not to be harmed by thieves." ”
