I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

microscope?
Several craftsmen were slightly taken aback, their faces all showing blank expressions.

at this time.

A crisp girlish voice came from not far away.

"Your Majesty, I made the microscope!"

Wu Mingkong and Fang Xiu turned their heads to look at the same time.

A girl in a yellow shirt and a cloak stood there, her delicate oval face flushed slightly from excitement.

Wu Mingkong looked at the cute young girl in front of him, startled slightly, and asked in disbelief, "You did it?"

The girl nodded heavily, and replied, "I did it!"

On the side, Han Dao, the dean of the Academy of Engineering who rushed over, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "No big or small, in front of His Majesty, you have to call yourself a student!"

The girl curled her lips when she heard Han Dao's reprimand, and said again: "It was done by the students."

Wu Mingkong looked her up and down, his delicate face showed approval, and said, "It's really rare for you to be able to study such an exquisite object at such a young age."

When the girl heard the empress' praise, her delicate face showed joy, and she raised her head slightly, a little proudly.

Seeing this, Han Dao felt helpless for a while, and said again: "Your Majesty appreciates you very much, this is your honor, why don't you hurry up and thank you."

This time, before the girl could speak, Wu Mingkong waved his hands and said, "It's just a child, so these red tapes will be avoided."

When the girl heard this, she really wanted to say that she was already twenty-seven years old, and that she could marry in the folks, so she was not a child.

But seeing the nervous look on the side of the dean, he still held back the words.

"What's your name?"

Wu Mingkong walked up to the girl and asked.

The girl answered generously, "Student Shen Miao."

"Shen Miao, it sounds familiar."

Wu Mingkong looked thoughtful.

The dean Han Dao reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this is the only daughter of Shen Wen, the household servant."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong showed a surprised look on his face, looked at Shen Miao, and said, "I remember you, on New Year's Eve, when I entertained all the ministers, you would bury your head and eat vegetables beside Shen Qing's family."

Hearing these words, Shen Miao's delicate face flushed red.

At that time, the whole table was busy toasting to His Majesty and the Prime Minister, but she turned a deaf ear to her and kept her head buried in the food. She was even teased by several uncles at that time.

I thought His Majesty didn't notice it, but I didn't expect him to still remember it now.

"I remember that you are the jewel in the palm of Shen Qing's family, what are you doing in the Academy of Engineering?"

Wu Mingkong asked curiously.

Shen Miao blinked her eyes and said seriously, "Of course I came to learn skills."

"Learn your skills?"

Wu Mingkong showed doubts.

Shen Miao said, "Students are determined to be the best engineers! The skills of creating things recorded in the book, students are already familiar with them. If they want to go further, they must come to this Engineering Academy for further study!"

Wu Mingkong was surprised when he heard this, and said: "You are a little girl, how could you think of being a craftsman?"

"Not a craftsman, but an engineer!"

Shen Miao put her hands on her hips, held her head high, and said proudly, "And whoever says girls can't be engineers, isn't it I who made the microscope!"...

"Shen Miao!"

Seeing her so arrogant, Han Dao was terrified, and hurriedly scolded: "Your Majesty, how can you be so rude!"

"The student is wrong."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao immediately put on an appearance of a good girl and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong showed a warm smile on his face, and said: "You are right. No one stipulates that women cannot be engineers. You have such an ambition and are willing to work hard for it. I appreciate it very much. I believe that you will eventually become an engineer." One day he will become a world-renowned top engineer."

Shen Miao listen

Seeing this, the delicate little face showed a smile, and said: "With your Majesty's good words, the students will definitely do it!"

On the side, Han Dao helplessly covered his face.

He thought to himself, Mr. Shen dotes on this daughter too much on weekdays, he didn't even teach her the etiquette before the emperor.

"However, before you become a top engineer, I have a task for you. I don't know if you can complete it."

Wu Mingkong looked at Shen Miao in front of him and said with a smile.

When Shen Miao heard this, she immediately became interested and asked with blinking eyes, "What mission?"

Wu Mingkong said: "I used your microscope and thought it was amazing. It can magnify what I see a hundred times, but it is very troublesome to use. You have to make a mount first, and then align it with the light. All in all, you can only see what you see. Something prepared in advance.

I was thinking, can you build another microscope that can see things in the distance, preferably the starry sky. "

When Shen Miao heard this, she raised her brows and said confidently, "Of course!"

Seeing how confident she was, Wu Mingkong liked her even more, and asked, "How much silver do you need to make a microscope like this?"

Shen Miao waved her hand and said, "I don't need any extra money, what the Engineering Academy allocated to me is enough."

On the side, Han Dao said: "Your Majesty, the craftsmen of the Academy of Engineering evaluate according to the priority of the research and development, and then allocate funds. What Shen Miao develops is related to colored glaze. The colored glaze is sent directly from the workshop, so it doesn't cost much. Therefore, the appropriation for her is 500 taels.”

500 taels is not a small amount in an engineering academy.

The reason why she is given so much is that on the one hand, she has indeed achieved some results in the study of colored glaze, and on the other hand, the most important one, is that she is the only daughter of the household servant, and her status is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

500 taels of silver is enough?
Wu Mingkong felt a little surprised, she thought it would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to research this thing.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked again, "How long will it take?"

Shen Miao bit her finger, thought for a few seconds, and said, "No accident, three days is enough."

As soon as this remark came out, let alone the little empress, even Fang Xiu felt a little surprised.

He knew that the Little Empress wanted Shen Miao to make something similar to an astronomical telescope.

Based on his shallow knowledge of physics, he probably knows that the principles of astronomical telescopes and microscopes are different, but the essence is the same.

Even so, it is by no means an easy task to build an astronomical telescope in three days!
"Shen Miao, you are not joking before, so please speak carefully, how many days will it take?"...

Han Dao poked Shen Miao with his elbow and reminded her to speak for a longer time, so as not to be able to make it when the time came and make His Majesty unhappy.

Shen Miao curled her lips and said disapprovingly, "I'm just talking about it, three days is three days, if Your Majesty came earlier, it might be possible to make it tomorrow."

Wu Mingkong was even more surprised when he heard this, and said, "Could it be that you have already had similar thoughts?"

Shen Miao clapped her hands and said, "Your Majesty is so powerful, His Majesty has seen all of this, unlike a certain person who treats others as fools."

"."

When Han Dao heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he was powerless to refute for a while.

"Actually, the students have already built what His Majesty wanted, called a telescope, according to the method recorded in the book. But if His Majesty wants to use it to look at the starry sky, he needs to improve on the basis of the telescope. Fortunately, there are similar records in the book. , called an astronomical telescope, as long as there is glass of good enough quality, three days is more than enough!"

Shen Miao's tone was very confident, making everyone present subconsciously believe that she could create it.

Hearing these words, Wu Mingkong's exquisite face showed curiosity, he looked at Shen Miao and asked, "What kind of book are you talking about?"

Shen Miao said, "It was bought from Zhufengxuan, it is called the use and design of lenses."

"."

Fang Xiu heard this

The name of the book, the corners of my eyes twitched, and I couldn't help asking: "Why did you think of buying this book?"

Shen Miao looked at Fang Xiu and said, "I just saw it when I was strolling around in Zhufengxuan, and then I bought it."

aside.

Wu Mingkong heard the words "Zhufengxuan", but his face was thoughtful.

She remembered clearly.

When I was in the medical school just now, when mentioning new medicine, those students also frequently mentioned the three words Zhufengxuan.

As far as she knew, the teaching books used by Mingxiu Academy were all from Zhufengxuan.

In other words, the four major academies are completely based on the books of Zhufengxuan.

If there is no Zhufengxuan, there will be no four major academies.

Wu Mingkong knew about Zhufengxuan.

This is the bookstore founded by Fang Xiu, and it is also the most popular bookstore in Chang'an, Dagan, and even the whole world.

In addition to selling all kinds of extremely popular vernacular books, it also sells various miscellaneous books.

She once asked Fang Xiu, where did such huge miscellaneous books come from.

Fang Xiu always talked about him from left to right.

Seeing that Fang Xiu was unwilling to answer, she didn't ask the bottom line.

Now it seems that Zhufengxuan's miscellaneous books are more important than she imagined!

Then the problem is coming.

Where did Fang Xiu get so many books on miscellaneous studies that are enough to start a school?
"Fang Xiu."

Thinking of this, the little empress couldn't help turning her head to look at Fang Xiu.

Fang Xiu looked at him and said, "What is your Majesty's order?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu, was silent for a few seconds, and said, "It's okay."

She knew that even if she asked, she would still get the same answer.

That being the case, it is better not to ask.

Sometimes, it is rare to be confused.

at this time.

Shen Miao's crisp girlish voice sounded in Wu Mingkong's ear. …

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a look at the telescope made by the students?"

"OK."

Wu Mingkong nodded.

"Your Majesty, wait for a while, I will come as soon as I go!"

After Shen Miao finished speaking, she cupped her hands at the Little Empress, then trotted away, bouncing around halfway.

When Han Dao saw this, he felt a little embarrassed for no reason, and explained: "As far as I know, Mr. Shen only has such a daughter. She is too pampered on weekdays, so she doesn't understand etiquette."

Wu Mingkong waved his hand, and said casually: "It's okay to not understand these red tapes. I think she is quite energetic. What I really need is such a young man who is full of vigor, has ideals, and is willing to fight for it."

When Han Dao heard this, he cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's words are very true, this minister is superficial."

Wu Mingkong looked at him and asked: "I heard many deeds of the Academy of Engineering in the palace. As the dean of the Academy of Engineering, you are quite capable in doing things. Do you have any rewards you want?"

When Han Dao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his face showed excitement, and he said loudly: "It is the duty and honor of a subject to serve your majesty and the prime minister. I have nothing to ask for! The imperial court did its best, dedicated itself to death, and died."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong nodded appreciatively, and said, "I'm even pleased that you have such a heart. If that's the case, I won't reward you."

Han Dao originally planned to thank him, but when he heard this, he froze in place, not knowing what to say for a while.

When Fang Xiu saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In his eyes, the little empress is quite cute when she flicks her skin sometimes.

"Ahem. If the Academy of Engineering can develop new firearms, His Majesty will consider awarding you a title, but let's not reward you for the time being. After all, the Academy of Engineering has been established for less than a year, so it is too early to reward you. The big academy will always have an idea.

You should know that the Agricultural College and
If the medical school wants to achieve results, it cannot be achieved in a few months. "

Fang Xiu looked at Han Dao and said earnestly.

When Han Dao heard this, he became excited again, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Prime Minister Fang! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Xiang has always been as good as he promises.

He said that he would consider granting him a title, and he would consider granting him a title, which was by no means perfunctory.

As a civil servant, he was originally just a small academician, and he got an errand that no one wanted to come. Who would have thought that he picked up a treasure, and now he has a chance to get a knighthood. For him, it is enough for him. He gave his best.

for the rest of the time.

Fang Xiu chatted with Han Dao for a few words.

It's nothing more than the results of the recent research of the Academy of Engineering, what difficulties are there, and what kind of help is needed.

After a while.

A crisp voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I'm back!"

Wu Mingkong and Fang Xiu turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a girl in a cloak, holding a strange-looking object in her hand, trotting away.

"call--"

Shen Miao took the binoculars and came to the little empress, took a few breaths and said, "Your Majesty, this is the binoculars I made yesterday!"

Wu Mingkong looked at the object in her hand curiously, and said, "This looks smaller than the microscope you developed."

Shen Miao said, "This is because the principles of telescopes and microscopes are different. Although they both consist of eyepieces and objective lenses, the objective lenses of microscopes are more important."

"Oh, anyway, it involves a lot of knowledge about light, even if I say it, His Majesty won't understand."

"Shen Miao!" Han Dao was startled again.

Wu Mingkong didn't take it seriously at all, and said with a smile, "Shen Miao is right, even if she explained everything, I might not understand it, you just tell me how to use this thing."

Shen Miao said, "It's very simple, just look at each other!"

She said, picked up the binoculars, focused her eyes on the eyepiece, looked into the distance, and said, "It's like this!"

After finishing speaking, he put down the telescope, handed it to the little empress, and said, "Try it, Your Majesty!"

Wu Mingkong reached out to take the telescope, according to her method, aimed at the eyepiece, and looked.

next second.

See what's in the telescope.

She opened her mouth slightly, showing an expression of disbelief, and said in her heart:

"It's really possible."
