These generals and military officials, who were familiar with marching and fighting, met the emperor in the corner tower southeast of the imperial city. The emperor first gave each of the six people present a telescope, and Sun Congshan, the general manager of Sun Congshan, gave them instructions on how to use it.

Then, these well-informed big people were completely shocked and conquered.

They looked through the telescope inside and outside the capital and the places they could see, and after making sure that there were no hallucinations, they removed the telescope from their eyes. One by one, they rubbed the small bamboo-like iron cylinder in their hands, and muttered the words "clairvoyance" in unison.

It took a while to understand the importance of this thing to them, to the army, and to the war.

Looking at the few of them summoned by the emperor, they clearly already knew about it, and it was possible that they had planned to use it in the army.

There are six of them, these are sacred objects, I don't know where Your Majesty got them, there are as many as six pieces. With these six artifacts, the border soldiers will shed a lot less blood.

The emperor was pleased with the reaction of these generals and officials. He, the emperor, is so wise and prescient! Now you know what the true dragon son is, right?

Subsequently, the emperor asked Sun Congshan to put away the telescope, and proudly returned to the Qinzheng Hall with the generals to discuss the equipment of the telescope.

When discussing the preliminary equipment of the telescope, the jaw dropped in shock to the bigwigs in the army: three, three...... Thirty-six branches, such a sacred object, the emperor actually has thirty-six pieces! When will the gods be born?

The emperor was in a good mood and calmed down several important ministers before telling them that this kind of artifact was made by the supervisor, and this was the first batch, because he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he sent the first batch into the army first.

After that, look at the use and equip it as appropriate.

One of the reasons for this meeting is to let them really see that a secret military material will be added to the configuration of the army. Second, it is necessary to negotiate a safe limit on use.

So there is the aforementioned thirty-six telescopes secretly sent to the border.

The telescopes that will be manufactured by the superintendent are numbered, and they are used in the army, and it is clearly required that they must be identified as people. In addition to keeping a record of the recipients one by one, they are also required to keep the matter strictly confidential.

Except for the completion of the task and handing it in, the rest of the time must be in the telescope, and the telescope must be destroyed, and no one except them must know that there are such gods in the world.

Every year in February and March, it is the time when the grassland is green and yellow. Faced with such a predicament, the Beiyi people would often form teams to carry out small-scale border harassment, burning, killing and looting.

If there is snow or drought on the grasslands, the situation at the border will be even worse. Usually there would be an organized invasion by small and medium-sized Beiyi cavalry, breaking through the weakly defended border line and entering the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty, plundering property and leaving the population.

Several military generals said that although this batch of telescopes cannot guarantee that they will cover the entire border line, they will certainly be able to play a miraculous effect when they are distributed to border posts and scouts with weak defensive forces.

This batch of telescopes was sent away, and Qujiang also promised that there would soon be a second batch of telescopes with a larger number of telescopes to be delivered.

Although there was a haze of the two cases at the end of last year, the hope brought by the telescope to the emperor at the beginning of this year made him feel much better.

The emperor was in a good mood, and he had time to consider the current distribution of silver coins in the Liang Dynasty.

It has been more than 150 years since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty. In the past 100 years, many powerful and wealthy people have accumulated huge wealth.

In the glass area, the emperor was very pleased to see a way to make the rich willing to pay for it.

In the previous disaster years, when there was a war, the imperial court's finances were tight, and if I wanted those guys with a lot of money to do something, it was called a difficulty, and it was like ripping off their hearts.

The advent of glass has changed a lot. As a widely used item, it can improve the living environment, withstand wind and rain and keep warm. It can be said that it can make people feel bright all year round, and it is an item that can be used by every household.

But ordinary people's families are only working for the family to have a full stomach all their lives.

Only those who have a more solid family can buy a few pieces and enjoy the transparency and brightness of the house a little, and they will be satisfied.

But the people who paid a lot of money were the families of landlords, squires, rich and powerful. According to the rarity of glass, twenty taels of silver is not a large amount. However, the mansions and houses of the wealthy are large and numerous.

When the silver turned to glass, it flowed out of the mansions of the rich and divided into portions.

A portion goes into the treasury as taxes.

A large part of it is used as wages, so that many people work to earn and use it to support their families. Through the mining, selection, crushing, transportation of various ores until they are sent to the glass workshop.

Among them, there are countless laborers, and it has also become a large part of the circulating silver after the rise of the glass industry.

In addition, the owners of the raw material business and the glass-making business made money.

This kind of way of separating the whole piece of silver and letting everyone consume it is still very good.

Commerce and trade are prosperous, tax revenues are increasing, the people have something to do and money to earn, and in the process of splitting and circulating silver, it is the prosperity of the people's lives and national strength.

The emperor's idea was simple, but it was also quite difficult. Glass, which can be used by every household, but not every household can afford it, can we make glass cheaper by improving the production method, and can really enter thousands of households.

There is also the glass of Qingyun Zhai, which has always taken the path of the powerful and rich. In the case of not reducing the price of colored glass, can we increase the variety and production, and take out more of the silver in the rich family.

Emperor Qingyuan is probably the first emperor who can be so attentive to the country's economy, this idea has been there before, and when I think about it at this time, I can't sit still.

Looking at the sky again, there is still some time to disperse.

"Send someone to find Xia Ke, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and ask him to put aside the matter at hand, and then enter the palace, and I have something to ask him." The emperor wrote an approval on a petition for the repair of the river embankment, and at the same time instructed.

Sun Congshan grasped the emperor's meaning very well, and the tone of the emperor Xuan Xia Ke's entry was very informal. In this way, there is no need to make too much noise, as long as you find Xia Ke in a low-key manner and lead him into the palace.

…………

On this day, Xia Ke went home half an hour later than usual.

Because a little servant brought a message to the house, saying that the second master has urgent business to deal with, and he may come back later. Therefore, Mrs. Jiang was not in a hurry, but just told the Yang family not to rush to make dinner first.

But he didn't expect that Xia Ke was only half an hour late, and he was a little bit normal.
