Chapter 198

"Don't talk about those polite words, let me ask you, is there glass in Ancheng?"

An Ruoyu was very anxious. In this technologically underdeveloped Dazhou, colored glaze is a very precious thing. She was really worried that she couldn't find colored glaze here.

Don't mention how regretful she is now, when she worked with Xu Jinbao on white sugar, she should have cooperated with him to make glass.

"Liu Li?"

The magistrate was taken aback, why did he suddenly want to find Liuli?Could it be that Mr. Shiyu, who came with Duke Ding, finally wanted to accept bribes?Will this kind of scum appear beside the Duke?
"That's right, colored glaze, or the thick colored glaze! Is there any?" An Ruoyu nodded again and again, looking at the magistrate expectantly.

Anyway, Ancheng is also a prefectural city, and there is a canal running through it. It can be regarded as a big city with a prosperous economy. There should be glass, right?

"Thicker colored glaze?" The more he heard the prefect, the more puzzled he became. What kind of strange request is this?

Although it was strange, the magistrate still nodded, "There are colored glazes, but I don't know if there are thicker ones. The next official will send someone to find them for you now?"

Even if he really wants to accept bribes, what can he do? In front of Ding Guogong, he is nothing more than a magistrate, so he can only obey. However, this young master Shiyu's request is a bit strange, so he really has to look for it.

"That's fine, hurry up, I need it urgently!" Nodding her head, An Ruoyu expressed her willingness to wait, "By the way, please ask the prefect to find a craftsman who can polish colored glaze."

"...Yes! I'll do it now!"

Walking out of the living room, the magistrate was full of doubts and assigned An Ruoyu's request to his subordinates. He felt that he really didn't understand this Mr. Shiyu. Is it so strange to accept bribes nowadays?

An Ruoyu, who had no idea that she had been identified by the magistrate as taking bribes, stayed in the living room for a while and couldn't sit still. After drinking two sips of tea, she was about to leave. She only told the magistrate that she would come back to get what she wanted in two hours. thing.

"Young master, I didn't expect that Ancheng was hit by a disaster a few months ago. How long has it been now? Look at the bustling streets, it doesn't look like a disaster-stricken city at all."

The two were walking on the street, looking at the bustling Ancheng, Zisu couldn't help sighing.

"Doesn't this just mean that the Duke is great!" An Ruoyu smiled, and it is also due to her that these people can have such a peaceful life now, the pile of bank notes back then was not given for nothing.

"Although Ancheng is mountainous and inconvenient by land, there are canals passing by and waterways are accessible. It can be regarded as a prosperous big city. After the flood is over, and the imperial court spares no effort to relieve the disaster, it will naturally return to its former prosperity soon. , which is not surprising."

An Ruoyu was full of interest as she ate the red bean cakes she just bought, "It's rare to take a long trip, let's take a good look around, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in this life."

In this era of inconvenient transportation, what a luxury it is to travel far, take advantage of this opportunity to have fun.

The two walked all the way, tasted a lot of local specialties in Ancheng, and bought some special gadgets. It can be said that they had a lot of fun shopping.

Just as the two stopped at a small stall, eating delicious red oil and copying their hands, An Ruoyu's hands stopped suddenly, and he looked straight at the alley next to him.

Then he got up suddenly, as if he was chasing something and trotted after him.

"Young master? Young master!"

Bewildered by her sudden movement, Zisu didn't even bother to eat Chaoshou, so she dropped a small piece of silver and chased after her.

"Where did you go? I just saw you going this way!"

Turning back and forth in the alley, An Ruoyu frowned, but couldn't find what she was looking for.

"My lord, what are you looking for? After following around for no apparent reason, Zisu was confused.

"I just...seemed to see Huan'er!" But when I chased after her, there was nothing.

"Really? Impossible, and no one will take her out of the barracks. Maybe you are wrong, young master. After all, there are too many children like that on the street. Maybe it's just a similarity."

Zisu froze for a moment, looked around, but found no Huan'er, not even a shadow of the child.

"...Maybe I misread it."

Looking around again, An Ruoyu shook her head and left without hesitation. Maybe she was really wrong.

……

The magistrate's actions were still very fast. When An Ruoyu came to the government office again, everything she wanted was ready, some thick and exquisite colored glaze, and a craftsman who could polish colored glaze.

Seeing the person who was carefully examining the colored glaze, the magistrate hurriedly introduced the beauty and value of the colored glaze to her. Thanks to him, An Ruoyu knew how precious the colored glaze was.

But when the prefect Anli's colored glaze was so precious and rare, An Ruoyu handed it over to the craftsman, who asked the craftsman to use the colored glaze to polish two convex lenses.

That's right, An Ruoyu wants to make one: Wang, Yuan, Mirror!

She still can't help in the war, but as the saying goes, 'If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools', she can still help.

Having binoculars is equivalent to having a pair of clairvoyance. The reason why these bandits are difficult to destroy is because they occupy a favorable position, but if they can see all the terrain clearly, it will definitely help, not to mention [-]% .

It's just that An Ruoyu was only thinking about getting a telescope, but the prefect of Ancheng was biting his handkerchief and weeping bitterly.

his money!His glass!
One must know that colored glaze with such a good appearance cannot be bought with money. He spent so much effort and money to buy the colored glaze, but it was broken into two pieces like this.

Whoa!The baby is bitter!But the baby doesn't say it!
Under An Ruoyu's narration, with the hard work of the craftsman, the exquisite colored glaze turned into two round pieces. After the craftsman was done, his hands were shaking and he was so scared!
"Not bad!"

Looking at the two lenses, An Ruoyu nodded in satisfaction. She didn't notice the craftsman's fear at all, and immediately asked the magistrate to find a carpenter to build a telescope according to the size of the two lenses.

It wasn't until finally he got the finished product and saw the distant scenery clearly with a telescope that An Ruoyu showed a bright smile, it was done!
The appearance of the telescope shocked the magistrate and at the same time made the two craftsmen involved in the production as excited as if they had Parkinson's.

They belatedly discovered that they seemed to have created something amazing!

The prefect didn't feel sorry for Yinzi or Liuli anymore. After using the binoculars, he couldn't let go of his stroking, as if he was stroking a relative and didn't want to let go. This is a good thing!

But no matter how reluctant he is, the telescope is destined not to be his. At this moment, the magistrate finally realized that Mr. Yu didn't want to accept bribes at this time, he just wanted to make this telescope, although he didn't know how to march. Fighting wars, but he understands how much help this thing will bring in the military.

Sure enough, he is indeed the counselor that Ding Guogong likes, which is really extraordinary.

Before, like everyone else, he thought that Mr. Yu was just a kid waiting to die, useless. He didn't expect him to be so powerful, and he was so powerful.

After getting the telescope, An Ruoyu rushed to the camp without delay. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to warn them that the matter of the telescope must be kept secret.

After all, the telescope can be used in the military, and it is not known whether this thing can be introduced to the civilian population. To be on the safe side, it is better not to let others know.

Of course the magistrate and the two craftsmen dared not refuse, they nodded repeatedly to promise that it would never be leaked out, it was Ding Guogong's stuff, and they wouldn't dare even if they had ten guts.

Holding the binoculars, An Ruoyu happily returned to the barracks, jumped out of the carriage and rushed into the main tent.

"Master! Look, I brought you..."

Holding the box in his hand, he had a brilliant smile on his face, and his words were full of playfulness, but the next second when he looked up, all the joy and smile froze at that moment.

Blinking her eyes, looking at the tent full of people, An Ruoyu could dig a hole out of her embarrassing toes, shouting crazily in her mind: How could it be such a bad luck!
"Young Master Shi Yu barged in like this, but is there something urgent?"

The person who spoke was the general of the garrison army in Ancheng. Because he didn't go all the way, he didn't know about the scandal between Song Yu and Mr. Shi Yu. All full of sarcasm.

"Cough... I'm sorry for disturbing everyone. You are busy. I will come to see the Duke later." She coughed uncomfortably for the rest of her life, knowing that the generals didn't like her very much, An Ruoyu didn't ask for it. She was about to quit, but at the same time she was glad that she didn't say anything that shouldn't be said.

"Don't! Mr. Shiyu is so happy, he must have some good news to tell. Is there a way to exterminate bandits? Why don't you tell everyone to hear it!"

It was the general, An Ruoyu didn't know why he was so hostile to her.

Just when she didn't know how to deal with it, Song Yu opened her mouth to relieve her and sent all the generals out. The generals who followed them from the capital didn't feel surprised at all.

Those local generals in Ancheng were a little unhappy, especially the general who kept picking faults again and again was very dissatisfied with Song Yu's favoritism, and was dragged away by other colleagues, so he didn't get into trouble .

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were talking about something, I was too excited for a while."

There were only two people left in the tent, An Ruoyu smiled shyly, admitting his mistake with a guilty conscience.

It was indeed her fault today, for breaking in without being informed, this is a military camp, not a mansion, now she will remember this lesson, and will not dare to break in again next time.

"It's okay, the matter is over." Pace walked over, grabbed her hand, and at the same time calmed her restless heart.

"You came to see me so happily, what happened?" He pulled her to sit down, poured her another glass of water, and asked casually.

Yu'er has always been sensible and doesn't want to cause trouble for him. In the past, he habitually passed on his master account, and those who obeyed the rules made him helpless. What good happened to be so reckless today?

"Well! Great news! Look at what I brought you!"

When this matter was mentioned, An Ruoyu narrowed his eyes with a smile, and became visibly excited again. He held the box in his hand and put it in front of Song Yu, "Open it and have a look!"

Curiously, he took the box, glanced at the expectant little wife, and opened the box with some interest, revealing the somewhat rough telescope.

"what is this?"

He picked up the telescope and checked it back and forth. Without An Ruoyu's explanation, he had already found out how to use it.

Song Yu's casual attitude immediately became serious when he saw the scenery in the distance under the action of the telescope as if it was close in front of his eyes and could be grasped easily.

"This is……"

"This is a telescope. I had someone make it out of glass, but it was done too hastily. It looks a bit ugly." Facing Song Yu's shocked eyes, An Ruoyu raised her chin with pride, "How about it?" , Is this useful for your marching and fighting?"

"Useful! Very useful! Yu'er, you are my lucky star!" Only those who marched and fought in the war understand how important this telescope is. Yu'er really made a great contribution this time!

"Yu'er, how did you come up with the idea to make such a thing?" It's really unbelievable, it only used two pieces of colored glaze, and it was the first time he knew that colored glaze, which is not very useful, can have this effect .

"When I was young, there was a glazed ornament in Qiao's family that was broken. I was young at that time, and I liked these shiny things, so I kept those pieces as treasures. I accidentally discovered such a situation. If I hadn't followed you this time Ancheng Bandit Suppression, I really can’t remember such a thing.”

Uh... An Ruoyu sighed inwardly, each excuse was getting harder and harder to find.

"You little brain is really... worth nothing!" This is really a smart little brain.

"Hey!" An Ruoyu smiled embarrassedly, ashamed!ashamed!
"This telescope is worthy of its name. It can be of great help in marching and fighting. Yuer, you can reach thousands of troops with this move!" Song Yu caressed the telescope fondly, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes, "But the thing about the telescope can't be done." It is rumored that the emperor has obtained too many good things from you, which is not good for you."

"Huh? I didn't think about it. I was just worried that the telescope would be used by others, so I asked the prefect of Ancheng to keep it a secret. If you say it like this, I have to let him keep it a secret."

She really hadn't thought about this, but now that she thinks about it carefully, she might really be feared by the emperor, tsk!This damn imperial society!
"Well, I will send someone to deal with it, you don't have to worry." Putting down the binoculars in his hand, he reached out and hugged her into his arms, buried his head in her neck, smelling her unique fragrance, Song Yu felt deeply I closed my eyes and felt at peace, "Yu'er, thank you!"

 Babes, double monthly tickets, a rare opportunity, ask for a wave of tickets!Ask for support!
