When Li Chengqian learned from Wang Xuance's mouth that Mrs. Guzang had reported to the Ministry of Rites yesterday that Xue Yantuo's envoy had visited the General's Mansion and handed over all the treasures and treasures given by the Zhenzhu Khan, he showed a satisfied smile.

Immediately, Li Chengqian instructed Gao Chunxing to select a large number of jewels from the last Subi trade and reward them to the General's Mansion.

As for the rare treasures sent by Tuyuhun, they were detained by Li Chengqian.

After dealing with this matter, Li Chengqian received Tuyuhun's delegation.

At first, he didn't plan to meet with the Tuyuhun delegation in person, but since he told Qibi He Li yesterday, he had no choice but to do so.

"Foreign ministers, see His Royal Highness King Ming." Tuyuhun's messenger bowed his hand and said.

Li Chengqian nodded, and asked knowingly: "Your envoy is going to Daming this time, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Huiming." The envoy said, "The Great Khan ordered us to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty this time, and it is for the sake of the peace between the Lord of Wanqiu and the Ming Dynasty.

The peace between the two countries is a major matter, and it still needs to be discussed. ”

"That's a good thing." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Before Daming and Datang were reconciled, Datang sent a lot of dowries, I don't know what Tuyuhun said?" ”

He didn't mention anything before asking the media, since you said that the two countries are peaceful, that's it, but I don't know where your dowry is?

Of course, he was just to disgust Murong Fuyun.

Now Tuyuhun himself is so poor that he is tinkling, where is there food for dowry?

Besides, do you think this and kiss are what he likes?

This......

Li Chengqian's words made the people of the mission stunned, wasn't this their operation before?

Not to mention, since the former Sui Dynasty, they have proposed to the Central Plains Dynasty, and their purpose is not to covet the dowry of the Central Plains Dynasty, but now it is the other way around, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "What? Tuyuhun didn't plan to give a dowry? How does this king remember that during the time of the former Sui, the Khan of Busabo married the princess of the former Sui, and the former Sui also gave a rich dowry? Why, when it comes to you, you are not going to give a dowry? ”

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian wanted to laugh.

As far as the history he understands is concerned, as long as the Central Plains Dynasty marries his daughter, it is a loss-making deal, and it is not easy for Lao Tzu to have a chance to see the money back, what's the matter, do you still want to repay the debt?

Not to mention, if he comes back from Tuyuhun to earn a little dowry, it will really be the first time that the Han dynasty has seen the return of money above his relatives.

"Your Highness is serious." The envoy said, "The foreign minister has come this time only to discuss the peace between the two countries, and the specific details need to be decided after the foreign minister returns." ”

He hadn't thought about it before he came, so Murong Fuyun didn't give him this permission, so he had to say it like this at the moment.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Your envoy is here to entertain this king?" Come, send your envoy back to the embassy, when you can make the decision, and then come and discuss with the king. ”

After he finished speaking, Yu Chi Baolin led people in, which was really unkind, and immediately invited the mission out.

The envoys were also helpless, they were used to other people's habits, and they really didn't think that one day they would take it out of their pockets, so they had to go back to the embassy first, and then send someone back to ask Murong Fuyun's opinion.

After they left, Li Chengqian went to the workshop that Zhang Erniu was in charge of.

Since he bragged in front of Sun Simiao, he naturally had to find a way to get the microscope out.

However, this thing is not difficult, in the final analysis, it is to grind the lens, when Leeuwenhoek was able to polish more than 200 times the convex lens under the condition of pure manual conditions in the 17th century, Li Chengqian did not believe that he could not do it.

Of course, the difficulty is not whether he can do it, but whether the craftsmen in the workshop can do it.

He can't grind his lenses every day, which will delay time.

"Your Highness." Seeing Li Chengqian coming, Zhang Erniu immediately put down the work in his hand and bowed down to salute.

For Li Chengqian, Zhang Erniu has always maintained absolute respect and obedience.

"How's the lens you polished before?" Li Chengqian asked casually.

Zhang Erniu picked up a piece of lens casually and said: "It's still the same, this thing is not difficult, but it takes time, and the glass we fired is still too brittle, and it will break with a little force." ”

"Come on, is the glass too brittle or is your hands too strong?" Li Chengqian said with a smile, "This time this king wants lenses with larger multiples, but don't worry, take your time, polishing the lenses is originally the work of terrazzo, and it is not in a hurry to wait for use."

Take a few lenses and show them to the king. ”

Hearing Li Chengqian say this, Zhang Erniu casually took out a few lenses and handed them to Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian looked at them carefully, and nodded, which were much stronger than the previous lenses.

"Your Highness, although this lens is higher than the previous lens in terms of multiple, it is extremely fragile, and with a little force, it can be broken into several petals." On the side, Zhang Erniu said, and took a lens to demonstrate, only to see that the lens was lightly pressed by his two hands, and after a click, it really became several petals.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian scolded with a smile: "You are a loser. ”

Although he said this, his hands also moved.

After a while, one lens shattered.

Seeing this scene, when Li Chengqian was annoyed, he suddenly thought: "Isn't this kind of lens the best material for making a telescope?" If we add a closed-eye lens to the lens tube, we can not only ensure that the lens inside is not contaminated with dust in our leisure time, but also play a protective role, and prevent the telescope from falling into the hands of the enemy. ”

"The villain didn't understand." Zhang Erniu scratched his head, a little confused.

Li Chengqian said: "We added a closed-eye mirror to the lens tube, added a small mechanism to it, and set a three-digit password.

The password can be changed by the user, and although it is possible to twist the telescope, it cannot be used without the password.

If we were a little more ruthless, we could even add a self-destruct device, which could destroy the lenses inside the barrel by twisting the closed lenses without a code.

This maximizes our advantage. ”

"If our people get it wrong, it's a big loss." Zhang Erniu said.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "You can't measure this thing by profit, this king has never thought of selling the telescope to anyone." This is a strategic resource, and the cost of the telescope, you know.

Even if we consume tens of thousands of telescopes every year, we can afford the price.

Not to mention that glass and mirrors themselves are creating value for us.

The advantages that telescopes can bring to us on the battlefield alone cannot be measured by money. ”

Li Chengqian saw these very openly.

Zhang Erniu pondered it carefully and found that Li Chengqian was right.

That's exactly what happened.

Nowadays, all kinds of mirrors are made in the workshop, both large and small, and now they have become one of the most sought-after goods in the Changming firm, and their prices have always been high.

The profit of mirrors alone is already quite a lot.

This is still Li Chengqian's deliberate restriction of sales, otherwise, the profits will be even more terrifying.

"In this way, this king will give you the drawings of the telescope and microscope in the past few days, and you should also hurry up and polish some more lenses, especially the lenses of the microscope, which cannot be delayed."

After Li Chengqian finished speaking, he left.

This matter really cannot be delayed.

He needed Sun Simiao, and the biggest reason for leaving Sun Simiao was to cure the illness of Empress Changsun.

If he remembers correctly, Empress Eldest Sun will not have a few years to live.

And with the death of the eldest grandson, the real battle for the heir has begun.

Therefore, it is too important for Li Chengqian that the eldest grandson is alive.

As long as she is alive, in Chang'an, it will be a certain Poseidon needle.

For half a month, Li Chengqian was tossing about this matter.

Fortunately, the Ming court is still stable, and there is no need for Li Chengqian to worry about everything.

And while Li Chengqian was busy with these, Chang'an was on the way to Taoyuan.

The caravan of the Xungui family and the convoy of the noble clan traveled almost simultaneously.

However, the caravan of the Xungui family went to make money.

The convoy of the Shi family is full of fighting spirit, ready to do a big job in the Ming Dynasty.

But there are some differences between them.

The caravan of Xungui's family brought enough food, since the Tang Dynasty banned food from leaving the country, Daming required everyone who entered from Datang to bring their own dry food, and those Xungui couldn't cry or laugh when they heard this, and immediately asked Li Er.

Li Er was also stunned, but also nodded.

It is understandable, after all, there are a large number of caravans in Datang every day going straight to Sun Moon Mountain, if you don't bring your own dry food, it is estimated that you can consume the little food in the Ming Dynasty.

But the scholars don't know about this.

Xungui didn't say it, and neither did the merchants.

It's all your whole moth, who is to blame?

At this time, they tacitly agreed to be silent, and they wanted to see what kind of appearance these high-ranking children had when the time came.

Of course, the clansmen of the Shi clan also saw that the merchants were disdainful of the grain on the car, and some even reprimanded: "Don't you know that the imperial court has issued an order to prohibit grain from leaving the country? ”

The businessmen laugh and don't speak, there are times when you suffer.

This time, the handiwork of the scholar clan is not small, and the Longyou Li clan is thrown away, and other large and small scholar clans have sent hundreds of students.

Although these people belong to the kind of people who can't be ranked in the family, they still have confidence in the face of these businessmen.

In their opinion, even if they arrive at the Ming Dynasty, they have the capital to look down on the world.

"Brother Cui, in the future, we will need Brother Cui to take care of me." Someone said, "With Brother Cui's talent and learning, he will not be able to enter and exit." ”

"Brother Zheng is serious." The surname Cui said, "I heard that the Ming Dynasty is now in ruins, and it is the time for me to show my ambitions. ”

"That's that, that's." Someone immediately said.

They never doubted that they would be able to get in.

Are you kidding?

Can you find someone more knowledgeable than us in the Ming Dynasty?

Even if Changsun Chong is here, what if these people are there?

How old are they? How many people are there?

If all the officials in all aspects of a country are in place, it will not be enough for them to fill in the hundreds of people.

So, they don't worry at all.

Li Chengqian is indeed very powerful, but what is the use of him being powerful alone?

It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!

This is Li Chengqian's predicament.

However, when they arrived at the border, the merchants looked at them like fools.

Everyone was still a little puzzled, but when the border guards of the Ming Dynasty refused to allow them to enter the country and told them that anyone who entered from the Tang Dynasty needed to bring their own dry food, everyone understood why those merchants laughed at them.

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

"We are going to the court of the Ming Dynasty to serve His Royal Highness the King of Ming." The surnamed Cui said, "Can it be convenient, he and I may also be ministers in the same hall in the future." ”

"Go, go, go." The border guard waved his hand and said, "His Royal Highness King Ming has an order that if you don't solve your own food problem, you are strictly forbidden to enter. ”

"You!" The clansman surnamed Zheng said, "We are all scholars from the Tang Dynasty, you are a good guy, dare to be rude?" ”

The scholars let them come, but they are really blind.

These guys have been superior since they were children, and they should be Datang everywhere.

But it's understandable.

If they really have great skills, the family will not let them come to Daming, and those who can come to Daming are actually a group of opportunists.

The border guard looked at these people, and said viciously at the moment: "What about the Tang scholars? This is Daming, you have to follow the rules of Daming! Withdraw! Within ten numbers, if you don't retreat, you will treat you as if you want to break through, and there will be no forgiveness! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers under his command immediately raised the repeater in their hands.

The scholars were stunned for a moment.

"Master Jun, don't be as knowledgeable as them." Seeing that the guard general was angry, a businessman immediately stood up, "Ladies and gentlemen, hurry up and raise food, this is the Ming Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the guard again, and said with a smile, "Master Jun, we have prepared food, this time we need to stay in Daming for about ten days, there is half a month's worth of food here, can you let me wait to enter first?" ”

The guard general looked at his papers, checked the grain again, and said: "Go in, but you should also know that no one in the Ming Dynasty will sell your grain now, and you have stayed for a long time, and there is no food, but don't blame the general for not reminding you." ”

"That's nature, that's nature." The merchant immediately laughed, and after speaking, he took the people away.

This time, in addition to food, he also brought a lot of goods.

When those scholars saw it, they had better look for food first.

As soon as the children of the scholar clan left, the guard general quickly sent a message to Sun Moon Mountain. jújíá?y.?? m

When Li Chengqian received the letter, he knew that it was the scholars of the Tang Dynasty who had arrived, so he immediately let Zhao Yan and Ma Ye go to the border.

Just them, do you still want to come to the Ming Dynasty? Is it true that Li Chengqian is good-tempered to everyone?

On the third day, the ranks of the scholars came to the border again.

It wasn't hard for them to raise some food.

This time, the guards carefully inspected their food and paperwork.

After the inspection, he said with a mocking face: "I'm sorry, you still can't enter the country." ”

"Why? You Qiu Ba, don't you deliberately make things difficult for us? The Zheng family immediately quit.

The businessmen who watched the excitement on the side were also stunned, could it be that the policy of the Ming Dynasty has changed again?

And at this time, Zhao Yan and Ma Ye came over, looked at the people of the Shi clan, and said with a smile: "Trouble you? In the past, outside Jingyang City, the Cui family blocked the way of His Royal Highness with a bamboo forest.

On that day, His Royal Highness laughed at himself and said, 'The wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the prince cannot enter.' ’

Because it is the private property of your Cui family, His Royal Highness chose to take a detour.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is built by my Royal Highness, and the entire Ming Dynasty is my Royal Highness.

I'm sorry, the Ming Dynasty is also wind and rain, and scholars can't enter, please go back, everyone!

Please also bring a message back, I am the Ming Dynasty, and the scholars are not welcome!

If you dare to sneak in, there will be no forgiveness! ”

After saying this, Zhao Yan and Ma Ye, as well as the border guards and all the soldiers, all looked at the scholars with a playful face.

Especially the horse industry, he smiled and said: "Wait for this day, but let me wait!"

In the past, outside Jingyang City, I was thinking about when I would be able to avenge that arrow, but I didn't expect that I had waited for a year, everyone, get out! ”

After saying that, Ma Ye laughed.

At the beginning, he went to Jingyang to open the way, but it didn't work out, and he was also holding back the fire.

This time, the reason why Li Chengqian asked him and Zhao Yan to come was also to let them out of this evil breath in their hearts.

And the children of those scholars were dumbfounded.

No, just because of a little thing in the first place, you didn't even let us in?

Thanks to us, on the way here, we also planned how the Ming Dynasty should develop.

This?

"A few military masters, we are not from the Cui family." The clansman surnamed Zheng hurriedly said, of course, he didn't want to clear up the relationship, but at this point, he could enter one by one, "Moreover, we are here to serve His Royal Highness King Ming and assist His Royal Highness King Ming in building immortal achievements." ”

"Just you?" Ma Ye said disdainfully, "Excuse me!" What kind of calculations your clan makes, everyone knows it in their hearts, so don't come to this set.

Please go back, I, the Ming Dynasty, don't need your scholars to interfere, and don't take yourself too seriously.

I heard that on the way you came, you belittled the officials of my Ming Dynasty as worthless, hehe, I really don't know where you came from with such a big face. ”

Li Chengqian will never let the scholars infiltrate.

There is no interest group in the Ming Dynasty now, and if the scholar clan infiltrates, the first interest group will inevitably appear.

In order to compete with them for the right to speak in the court, others will inevitably become a second interest group.

This is what Li Chengqian does not want to see.

Of course, it's not that he came up with the meaning of the original bad breath.

When the businessman on the side heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time gloated.

The Ming Dynasty is preparing to clean up the power of the Shi clan in the Ming Dynasty?

This is a good thing for them, which shows that the business of the Ming Dynasty is completely out of touch with the scholars.

And those guys from the Shi clan were stunned one by one.

This......

When they came, they were still talking about the way of governing the Ming Dynasty, and they were all ready to be made to become a marquis, but as a result, they were expelled without even stepping into the border of the Ming Dynasty?

The point is to be expelled in front of so many people.

At this moment, everyone only felt that their faces were hot.

Traveling thousands of miles, self-inflicted humiliation!

On the side, some people also saw this scene in their eyes.

I was secretly glad in my heart.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.

.jujiazy.
