Chapter 723: The Clairvoyant Who Caused Trouble
"My lord, why don't you use horns?"
The horn in the army, since there are horns available, Cao Fang feels that there is no need to use suona, after all, the suona master invited by Li Kui is all Le Ling who has made a fortune from the dead, and he is really depressed.
But Li Kui also has his considerations: "The horns are low, and the rhythm is vague. When an urgent order is given on the battlefield, it lacks the necessary precision. Especially the musket is not only a musket, but also the artillery to cooperate with the battle, the movement is already large, can you guarantee that the horn can be reused? ”
"This ...... The last general is ashamed. ”
This truth made Cao Fang unable to refute, and the horns did have a certain utility as a herald instrument for attack and retreat. But as Li Kui said, the horn is a musical instrument that can't be blown loudly even when the cheeks are shaken off. If you can't hear orders in the middle of the battle, it will be difficult for the mile-long team to coordinate the command.
Li Kui actually doesn't want to use suona, this instrument is really noisy, the response is also sensitive, and the movement is still big. Regardless of whether the people encounter happy events or sad white things, they can use this instrument to clearly express their inner feelings.
But more often than not, Li Kui thinks that this thing is still suitable for funerals.
Otherwise, why can't you find a few Leling who play suona for a living in other places in Kaifeng Mansion, but they catch a lot of them in Nanxunmen? This place was originally a gathering of all the coffin shops, shroud shops, and paper burning shops in Kaifeng Prefecture...... But anyone who is a little decent in Kaifeng Mansion does white things, and these shops in Nanxunmen are indispensable.
He pouted and said, "Jieming, if you can find a replacement instrument, it's up to you." ”
Cao Fang byte Ming.
"Sir, you don't blame me for making up my own mind?" Cao Fang said in a humble heart, according to his understanding of Li Kui, when this 'magnanimous' is used, he will always secretly make a black hand.
"Besides, musical instruments are just auxiliary tools, so why not use them if there is a better one?" Li Kui's momentum is not very good to see suona, especially as a part of the military band, which is even more awkward. This ringer is blowing and blowing all the way, I am afraid that it is the overlord Xiang Yu leading the troops, and the ambition in his chest will be blown out.
At least in military use, it lacks the necessary sense of ritual and is not prudent.
No matter what Cao Fang thought, suona still became part of the marching and training of the Praetorian Guard, and the military camp where the Praetorian Guard was stationed was more and more misunderstood.
It's not too bad news, but for Li Kui, it's still a bit of a.
Finally, the good news came, Zheng Qi of the Iron Prison sent the news, and the sample gun has been made.
But there is a way that good things come in pairs, and the glass workshop on the side of the Military Control Bureau has not been idle, since the colorless transparent glass was made, the task of creating clairvoyance was issued at the same time.
Han Jing also knew that if he wanted to continue to make Li Kui pay attention to the glass workshop, he had to come up with enough results.
And monoculars are the best answer.
Although even Han Jing couldn't figure it out, the truth of this monocular glasses always felt a little bottomless. But when the lenses were sharpened and assembled, he was stunned by what he saw.
There is a limit to people's eyesight, and generally they can only see the facial expressions of people within a dozen zhang, and if they are far away, I am afraid that they will need the assistance of sunlight and other conditions. But with the glasses, people from a hundred feet away can also see clearly, this thing looks very high-end on the surface, but the cost is ...... Hey, hey, hey......
A team of craftsmen can grind dozens of pairs of lenses in a month, and the assembly of coppersmiths can be completed by only one person.
And the material ......
This thing is the most lacking in the glass workshop.
If you really want to sell it, let alone the army, even the big and young people in the capital will have to fight each other. If Hua Hua Tai Sui had glasses, the women of good families in the city would have suffered.
"The bureau is clever, and I am fortunate to live up to my life and make glasses that meet the requirements of the bureau. Forgive the villain for being bold, the bureau asked me to wait for the overseer to make the glasses, where is this glasses, it's a clairvoyant! "Han Jing sincerely worships Li Kui, without Li Kui, how can these craftsmen know how to make a mirror?
Without Li Kui, where would these craftsmen make 'clairvoyance'.
Obviously, the magical effect of 'clairvoyance' will completely become the second fist product of the glass workshop of the Military Command Bureau after the mirror. Even, the demand is greater than that of mirrors. After all, the mirror is nothing more than a tool for women, or the powerful, to tidy up their clothes, nothing more. Although Cai Jing has developed the mirror function on the official wat board, plus Taoist believers will also buy it and hang it at the door. But to put it bluntly, whether there is a mirror or not has no impact on everyone's life.
But the 'clairvoyant mirror' is different, the army needs it, the magnates will need it, and even the ships will need such magical treasures.
It can be said that the 'clairvoyant mirror' will become a necessity for the high-end support of the Great Song Dynasty, although the audience is not as good as the mirror. But the generals of the army will definitely have one for each person. No matter how expensive the price is, you have to endure the pain to buy one.
Li Kui walked up to Han Jing in surprise, put the monocular glasses that Han Jing was holding in both hands, and weighed the weight, which was quite acceptable, and it would not make people feel very heavy.
The style of the monoculars is what Li Kui drew the drawing, but with the addition of two leather case covers.
Han Jing explained: "My lord, this cover was added by the villain, mainly because this mirror is easy to get dusty, and it is not convenient to wipe it with a silk cloth. ”
"Good!"
Li Kui rarely praises people, he is the image of an all-knowing person standing on the throne of the military command bureau. It can be said that the Military Command Bureau started from scratch, and he was the chief designer of all projects, and at the same time the final decision-maker. His subordinates did what he wanted, and they were only qualified. But not once did he want to go beyond his design.
Doesn't Li Kui know that monoculars are not as good as binoculars?
Is that he not wanting to make it?
However, the use of binocular technologies that require not only the focus between lenses, but also the horizontal focus, would be a great disaster for the craftsmen of the Military Control Bureau. Not a test, but a disaster, which is difficult for craftsmen to do at the moment.
Therefore, the only choice is to choose the design of monoculars.
Fortunately, even the monoculars are enough to amaze people, and even worship them as gods.
Even if it can only improve a person's eyesight by three or five times, it is an unheard of miracle.
How dare Han Jing take credit, he is just a craftsman, all the general directions are Li Kui's ideas, especially within the Military Control Bureau, Li Kui is almost believed to be a god, if he floats, he will be beaten into a prototype another day: "The bureau seat is wise, I just wait to run errands, and then follow the bureau seat to shine." ”
Li Kui did not delve into the atmosphere of the Military Command Bureau, and the atmosphere was not quite right. Instead, he played with the glasses in his hand with great interest, and looked at the branches of the bushes in the yard for a while, and there were only a few sparrows, dusty, and nothing to look at. While watching, he said casually: "You have already tried to see it, how far can you see?" ”
"If you stand on the top floor of the tower of the pagoda temple, you will have a panoramic view of the entire Kaifeng."
"Exaggeration!" Li Kui asked.
Han Jing has successfully assembled the lookout glasses since last night, and when the sky is a little brighter, he looks everywhere. Still in the city, I saw a lot of things that should be seen and things that should not be seen, from the shock at the beginning, to the strong heart of curiosity and gossip in my heart later, I have been satisfied. However, although the glasses are good, there is one disappointment, that is, I have seen too much and I am dizzy.
He spoke a little top-heavy now.
Han Jing said a bit big, Kaifeng Mansion is not as simple as a prefecture city. Kaifeng Prefecture includes the capital of Bianliang, and also has 16 counties under its jurisdiction, with a radius of hundreds of miles. A monocular, I'm afraid I can't really see the scenery of Kaifeng Mansion.
But in Bianliang City, there may be.
When Li Kui thought of this, he suddenly became interested: "Go, go to the city, take a look." ”
Forget about the pagoda, don't disturb the pure place of the Buddhist family.
There can be one in the city.
"Seat of the bureau, you are ......"
"The clairvoyant mirror has been made, and the bureau is going to try it in the city."
"Go together, go together."
"Bureau!"
"Let's go!"
……
Hula, more than a dozen officials of the Military Command Bureau in the yamen all hugged Li Kui and walked outside the Suzaku Gate. It stands to reason that the Military Command Bureau is near the Baokang Gate, and the city tower should not be looking for the nearest Baokang Gate?
What is Kebaokangmen?
Li Kui's home is nearby, can it be okay to spy on the family members of the bureau?
Besides, the vicinity of Baokang Gate is a residential area, and for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, there is still at least a sense of shame. Even the Military Command Bureau can't do such an unbearable act out of curiosity.
However, the Suzaku Gate is not the destination of Li Kui and others.
After all, Suzaku Gate is surrounded by restaurants. The rows of buildings and cornices block too many views. Their destination was the Corner Tower. The corner tower is not actually a building, but a building built on a corner on the city wall. That place...... It's not a good place either. There is a diagonal street, which is a famous entertainment area in the capital, and there are tiles on both sides of the street.
Before they arrived, the group was stopped by the forbidden army.
"Idle people are forbidden to walk."
The inner city of the Great Song Dynasty is stricter than the outer city of the Great Song Dynasty, and ordinary people are not allowed to climb the city tower, for fear that there will be spies mixed in.
"Keep your dog's eyes open, this is our seat!"
"You're from the Military Bureau?"
The moment he saw Li Kui, the captain guarding the city tower was surprised, and he was both respectful and afraid of the old men of the Military Command Bureau. Respectfully, these people are all rich and rich, and they are very difficult to mess with. As for the fear, the main reason is that the reputation of the Military Command Bureau is not good.
As for the Military Unification Bureau going up to the city tower, they didn't dare to stop it at all.
Believe it or not, Cai Jing sent someone to check the accounts in the Beijing camp another day, and also specifically checked the accounts of his general, blatantly looking for bad luck?
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. A few big masters, villains have the courage to lead the way for a few big masters. ”
After speaking, the captain held the helmet on his head, trotted, and came to the side of the horse road on the edge of the city wall: "Please bear with me, the road is a little steep." ”
The slightly larger city defenses have horse roads. On the one hand, the slope-style horse road can pull the freight to the city, which is less labor-saving than lifting it. Another reason is that even if the city is defended, the head of the city on the war horse is much faster than the infantry reinforcement.
When he went to the city, Li Kui opened his glasses to observe the people's situation in the envy of everyone.
Although it was already after noon, the surrounding tiles and fences didn't seem to be very lively, and the girls didn't go to work. Li Kui was a little disappointed, but unexpectedly, a guy came early. Playing a game of catching butterflies with the girl in the room, it happened that the thing turned its head to look in the direction of Li Kui, but the distance was so far, how could it be possible to see clearly? But Li Kui looked at the other party's face, felt a little familiar, and hesitated: "This person looks familiar, but he can't remember who he is?" Oh, what kind of system in broad daylight. Even the windows are not closed. ”
Cai Jing is a jack-of-all-trades in the capital, and immediately volunteered: "Where is the bureau, let the lower officials come and see!" ”
Cai Jing was amazed and learned from Li Kui. stretched the distance for a while, and finally aligned the focal length, and when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, his old face suddenly turned red angrily: "Rebel, non-human!" ”
After speaking, he put down his glasses and called Luan Tingyu to hurriedly go down to the city.
Cai You suddenly felt a chill in his back for no reason, shook his head, and continued to shout at the beauty: "Jiao Niang, have you hidden it, I'm here." ”
