"How can the king of the county have different hearts, you also said that frogs are good for us just now, how can we eat their meat?" Yan Yuru did not agree with Zhao Yan's view that his interests were magnified, and even thought that Zhao Yan was defending his duplicity.

"How can this be called a disagreement?" Zhao Yan looked innocent at this time, and then asked rhetorically, "Let's not talk about frogs first, I want to ask Little Lady Yan, do you think ploughing cattle is more important to us?" ”

"Of course it's important, ploughing cattle is the most important thing in the farmer's family, and many farming families treat ploughing cattle as relatives, and the law of my Great Song Dynasty also prohibits slaughtering ploughing cattle!" Yan Yuru was still a little angry at this time, she didn't know why, she was very disappointed with Zhao Yan's inconsistent expression, and she also had a feeling of emptiness in her heart.

"Haha, although the law of my Great Song Dynasty prohibits the slaughter of cultivated cattle, but the cultivated cattle are sometimes injured, such as the cultivated cattle that hurt their legs, they can no longer work in the fields, so that although the farmers are reluctant, they will slaughter the cultivated cattle and sell meat, so as to recover some of the losses, just imagine that the cultivated cattle work for the farmers for half their lives, but in the end they end up peeling and selling meat, which do you think is more miserable than the frog?" Zhao Yan asked with a laugh again.

"This ......" Yan Yuru was also speechless at this time, although she had never farmed, but during the days when she lived in Sheung Shui Village, she also knew a lot of things about the farmers, after the ploughing cattle were injured, they would indeed be slaughtered and sold, and no one blamed her. It's just that you need to pay a fine to the government.

Seeing that Yan Yuru didn't speak, Zhao Yan smiled again and said: "Actually, whether it is a ploughing cow or a frog, they have done things that are beneficial to us, but the ploughing cow cannot be healed after being injured, and the slaughtered beef becomes a delicacy in people's mouths, and the frog is hunted by Wang Cai's ignorant urchins." We can also bring them back to life, so why can't we eat the flesh of the frog to satisfy our appetites? ”

"No, the king of the county, you are practicing sophistry, the ploughing cow is different from the frog, because the ploughing ox was raised by us since childhood, but the frog is born and raised by heaven and earth, and it doesn't owe us anything at all!" Yan Yuru endured the chaos in her mind at this time and said, she was almost confused by Zhao Yan's sophistry.

"Haha. Yan Xiaoniang's words are so unreasonable, the ploughing cattle were raised by us since they were children and can be slaughtered at will, so the parents also raised their children from a young age, can they also be slaughtered at will? Zhao Yan asked with a sly smile on his face again.

"This ......" Yan Yuru already felt that her thinking was completely messed up at this time, and she couldn't keep up with Zhao Yan's questions at all, and she couldn't even tell the difference between a ploughing cow and a child, in fact, he didn't blame him, Zhao Yan's series of questions were originally a trap for smart people. If you are a little stupid, you may not be fooled.

"Hahahaha~. It seems that Yan Xiaoniang finally has nothing to say, she might as well think about it after she goes back, and Zhao will leave! At this time, Zhao Yan saw that the time was almost up, and Shu'er also buried the frog meat, and said goodbye to Yan Yuru at the moment, and then left with Shu'er.

Yan Yuru hadn't gotten out of the thinking trap set by Zhao Yan at this time. There was no reaction to Zhao Yan's departure, but at this moment, Yin Niang suddenly pulled the corner of her clothes and said: "Sister, you have been fooled, how can a child be the same as a ploughing cow, after all, the child is born to his parents." Ploughing cattle were bought, so naturally they could not be compared. ”

Hearing Yinniang's reminder, Yan Yuru, whose brain was already in a mess, had a feeling of sudden realization, and at the same time understood that she had just fallen into Zhao Yan's trap, which made her feel annoyed, and glared at Zhao Yan's back at the moment, but then she felt very interesting, because since she was a child, no one has ever used this method to confuse herself, and as a result, the more she thought about it, the more funny she became, and finally she couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhao Yan, who left the Qingshui River, did not go back to the courtyard, but took Shu'er to Xian Micro, first went around the market in front of the Taoist Temple, bought some snacks and snacks for Shu'er, and then entered the Xian Micro, the Taoist priests in the Taoist Temple are also very familiar with Zhao Yan, and they also saluted when they saw him, and Zhao Yan took Shu'er directly to a large courtyard behind the Taoist Temple.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhao Yan saw Cao Yan and Zhang Sizong, Liu Mingkang and others discussing something in a pavilion, and there were many craftsmen in the courtyard who were busy, and they also saluted when they saw Zhao Yan, and Zhao Yan also smiled at them.

At that moment, Zhao Yan took Shu'er to the pavilion, and Cao Tong and the others who were discussing also saw his arrival, and they also stopped discussing and greeted him: "Son-in-law, you came just in time, and we are also thinking about having a question that we want to ask you for advice." ”

"Grandfather is too modest, if you have any questions, you can mention it, and your grandson-in-law will know everything!" Zhao Yan also smiled and said, he had already sent the drawings of the microscope, after such a long time of research, all parts of the microscope have been manufactured, and other ways to replace those that cannot be manufactured have been found, and now it seems that there is no big problem, but can this manufactured microscope be used? A qiΔ“ still needs to be assembled to know.

Zhao Yan said and walked forward, only to see a semi-finished microscope placed on the stone table around Cao Yan and them, it seems that they have assembled the parts made before, this semi-finished microscope looks obviously different from the microscope they brought, after all, some parts cannot be manufactured at all, they can only be replaced by other methods, and the function of the microscope has also been modified, as long as it is universal, so it is normal for the appearance to change.

"Master Liu, come and explain the issue we are discussing!" At this time, Cao Tong pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and commanded, this middle-aged man's surname is Liu Mingzhen, born with a pair of skillful hands, good at the manufacture of gold, silver and bronze, known as the first skillful hand in the Great Song Dynasty, generally known as skillful Liu, or honored as Master Liu, this time the microscope is presided over by him.

Skillful Liu is a black and thin strong man, I saw him arch his hand to Zhao Yanyi and said: "King Qiyu, according to the design drawings of the microscope, there is also a reflective mirror under the carrier plate of the microscope, I originally planned to make a small copper mirror myself, but Cao Lao Immortal They all said that the mirror under the microscope is not a copper mirror, but a mirror made of glass, I have also studied glass, but I really can't think of how glass can be a mirror, so we were discussing just now, whether to use copper mirrors instead of glass mirrors?" ”

Hearing what they were discussing, Zhao Yan patted his head at the moment, he actually forgot that although Cao Tong and they made glass, they would not use glass to make mirrors, although copper can also be used to make mirrors, but it is okay to use it to tidy up clothes, and it is a little insufficient to reflect light.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan immediately spoke: "Copper mirrors must not be used as reflectors, as for the manufacturing method of glass mirrors, I know some, wait for me to discuss with my grandfather, and then write out the manufacturing methods of glass mirrors, and you can make them according to law." ”

"Son-in-law, what else are you discussing, hurry up and write out the manufacturing method of the glass mirror, and we can also make the microscope as soon as possible!" Cao Yan heard Zhao Yan's words, but he urged impatiently, they have invested a lot of manpower and material resources for the microscope, and they have also spent a lot of time, so they can't wait to see the success of the microscope research as soon as possible.

"Hehe, grandfather, don't worry, I can give you the structure of the microscope for free, but the manufacturing method of this glass mirror can't be given to you for free, after all, the glass mirror is a hundred times superior to the copper mirror, if it can be manufactured, I'm afraid it will make countless profits, so I have to calculate this account in advance." Zhao Yan smiled maliciously at this time.

The microscope is too high-end, even if it is manufactured, it will only circulate in a small area, but the glass mirror is different, this thing is something that every household needs, especially those women who love beauty, absolutely crazy because of the glass mirror, you must know that in ancient Europe, a mirror can even change a city, which can know the charm of glass mirrors.

It can be said that a small glass mirror contains huge wealth, although Zhao Yan is not short of money, but with the birth of his daughter Siyue, as well as Yelusi's pregnancy, there is also a super want to have a child Cao Ying, which makes Zhao Yan suddenly feel that his money is still not enough, at least in the future, his daughter's dowry, and the family business prepared for his son are far from enough, after all, God knows how many children he will have, and the more property he prepares, the better.

Cao Tong and the others also understood what Zhao Yan meant at this time, and at that moment, several veterans glanced at each other, and then Cao Tong opened his mouth and asked, "Son-in-law, I don't know how you want to calculate this account?" ”

"It's very simple, I am responsible for providing the manufacturing method of glass mirrors, you are responsible for establishing a glass workshop, and the manpower and material resources needed must be provided by you, as long as it is the income of the glass mirror workshop of Daomen in the future, I will account for forty percent of it, and my people will also participate in the management of accounts." Although Zhao Yan is not usually a housekeeper, he has also learned a lot from Cao Ying's ears and eyes, and knows that the most important thing to cooperate with others is to insert finances, otherwise he will not know if he is deceived.

"Forty percent is too much, we need to bear the manpower and material resources to build the workshop, and it also needs to spend a lot, so we can only give the county king two percent at most!" Before Cao Tong could speak, Zhang Sizong next to him spoke first.

"Sancheng, this is my bottom line, otherwise I will find other people to cooperate, although the firing of glass is troublesome, I am not ignorant." Zhao Yan spoke again, but his last threat was obviously bragging, if he knew how to burn glass, he wouldn't have let Cao Yan and them go to find it by themselves.
