In a place like Yunnan with high mountains and dense forests, it is really conducive for the enemy to hide and ambush. It doesn't mean that if you stay vigilant, you can be completely sure that you won't be ambushed.
After all, human eyesight is limited, and it is simply impossible to see clearly whether there is anyone ambushing in the grass farther away. And once you see it clearly at close range, you have already entered the circle of others.
But now with a telescope, it's different. It's completely possible to spot the enemy outside the encirclement. It can be said that with Lan Yu having a telescope in hand, as long as he is careful, it will become impossible for the residual Yuan forces to ambush him.
Lan Yu hugged the two telescopes excitedly, as if holding her beloved woman.
Lao Zhu originally encouraged Wan Muying on the high platform and was waiting for the auspicious moment to order the army to set off.
But suddenly I heard a movement below, and looked down with displeased eyes, only to find Lan Yu and Han Du standing together, not knowing what they were talking about.
A trace of curiosity flashed in Lao Zhu's heart, and he walked straight over.
"Lanyu, what are you holding in your hand?" Lao Zhu asked when he saw Lan Yu holding two strange-looking things, one big at one end and the other small.
When Lan Yu saw the emperor suddenly arriving in front of him, he immediately paid his respects. He took the telescope and explained it to Lao Zhu, and handed one to Lao Zhu and asked him to try it.
When Han Du saw this, he just wanted to cover his eyes with his hands, as if he didn't want to see the tragic scene in front of him.
Lan Yu is really a straight person, doesn't he know that Lao Zhu is a real dragon? Any dragon will have the attribute of Pi Xiu, which only eats but does not poop. When you see something good, you will try your best to get it into your arms.
Lao Zhu also tried several times like Lan Yu just did, and was sure that this telescope could allow people to see distant scenery. Lao Zhu is also a battle-hardened man, and he only understood the importance of telescopes once he experienced it. Looking down at the telescope in his hand, he sighed at the great role of this thing. At the same time, he glanced at Han Du and sneered in his heart.
Han Du suddenly felt as if he was surrounded by a gust of cold wind, and he did not dare to retreat rashly in front of Lao Zhu, so he could only stay in place stiffly.
Seeing that the emperor had tried it, Lan Yu thought she would return the telescope to him, and was about to reach out to pick it up.
But he saw the emperor hand the telescope to Mu Ying beside him with a flick of his wrist.
"This telescope is very useful. It can predict the enemy's opportunities. It just so happens that you and Mu Ying have one."
Lan Yu was stunned on the spot, as if she heard the sound of broken porcelain. This feeling was like Han Du clearly gave him a pair of twins, but now one of them was taken away by the emperor.
"General, I obey the order." But Lan Yu had no way to deal with Lao Zhu. No matter how reluctant you are, you have no choice but to agree. He turned to look at Han Du, hoping that Han Du could get him another one so that they could make a pair.
Han Du turned his head to the side, not wanting to look at him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The happiest person belongs to Mu Ying. She got a good thing for nothing without doing anything. He reached out and took the telescope. He held it in his hand and kept imitating the emperor's look. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Lao Zhu turned to look at Han Du, smiled a little coldly, and said, "Are you good at making things?"
Han Du smiled flatteringly and was about to speak.
"Go back and make twenty more and bring them to the palace. If you dare to make one more, you should be careful with your skin." Lao Zhu didn't wait for Han Du to speak, and opened his mouth to ask for twenty more. Moreover, the telescope was regarded as a taboo, and Han Du was not allowed to do more and live out.
Can’t I just make one just for fun? Can’t I play with the things I made myself? What's the point? If you piss me off, I'll make him an astronomical telescope and scare you to death.
"I obey the decree." No matter how dissatisfied he felt, Han Du still showed the law of true fragrance.
After bowing to Lao Zhu, Han Du took advantage of the situation and retreated.
Lao Zhu ignored Han Du and ordered the army to go out at the auspicious time.
...
Lan Yu went to war.
Han Du also spent a few days preparing and delivering the telescope Lao Zhu needed. The cotton collected by Zhu Biao has been sent to the banknote bureau. With the raw materials, the banknote bureau once again entered into the full swing of banknote production. Xiong Shi is already familiar with printing treasure banknotes. He doesn't need Han Du to guard it. He can arrange things in an orderly manner by himself.
The sun was about to set, and Xiong Ting from Mingjingzhai lit the oil lamp early, preparing to sort out and store the treasure banknotes collected today.
Everyone was busy busy, but Han Du suddenly felt at ease. Listening to the lively chirping of insects at night, Han Du stared blankly at the lights in Xiong Ting's room in the front yard. The place he was in was completely dark, and his mind went blank without thinking about anything.
Han Jingyun walked gently to Han Du and sat down quietly. He even avoided saying hello to Han Du, as if he was afraid of disturbing him.
But you are already by my side, how can I not feel it? Han Du glanced at Han Jingyun strangely. Although the light was dim and his eyes adapted to the darkness could not clearly see Han Jingyun's expression, Han Du could still detect a hint of loneliness from her expression.
"What's wrong? Why don't you go to bed so late?" Han Du asked softly.
Han Jingyun didn't look back, looked up at the dark night sky, and replied somewhat at a loss: "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little bored and can't sleep."
Han Du was thinking about how the girl could be bored.
Han Jingyun turned around, smiled mischievously at Han Du, and said, "Brother, aren't you bored too? Otherwise, why wouldn't you go to bed so late?"
I was in a daze just now, but that's not boring.
Han Du wanted to retort, but suddenly felt that this was meaningless. It was more important to ask the girl why she was bored first.
"Is it because this place is too small and you have been bored here for too long? Why don't you go out for a walk tomorrow? Didn't you like shopping before?" In Han Du's opinion, girls have nothing to do and just go shopping. alright.
Although shopping cannot cure all diseases, at least it can still provide the right medicine for the problem of boredom in girls. And when the Han family lived in the outer city, what Han Jingyun envied most was being able to go shopping in the inner city and see the prosperity of the inner city. However, because the Han family lived in a remote area at that time, they had to walk a long way to enter the inner city, so Han Jingyun naturally had few opportunities to enter the inner city.
But things are different now. This Mingjingzhai is located on Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the inner city. When you open the door and go out, you can see the bustling city and enjoy shopping. According to Han Du's opinion, if he were Han Jingyun, he would never get tired of visiting it a hundred times.
