Geng Zhangguang felt that it was inappropriate for his aunt to say such words at this time, so he changed the subject and said:
"I wanted to get drunk with you at the wedding banquet, but I didn't know that this separation might last for several years."
Geng Zhangguang is about to take the national proficiency test. His rank in the provincial examination is very high and he is full of confidence. If he gets the Jinshi and his rank is not high, he may be sent out to be a county magistrate for three years.
Huang Yi thought for a while and said: "In half a month at the latest, our "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers" crew will go to the Xuan Mansion on my behalf to congratulate you, and then put on a great show for your father, Gao Tang, and all the guests."
"This, this..., this is great!"
Geng Zhangguang also liked the lyrics, aria, and minor tune of "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers". If this drama could be performed at the wedding banquet, it would be the icing on the cake. He was so happy that he stuttered a little.
Geng Zhanghua patted Huang Yi hard on the shoulder and praised:
"You are such a thoughtful person. There will be a great show called "The Great Power" at my eldest brother's wedding banquet. Even if you don't go, you will definitely be talked about by the guests!"
It is important to educate through fun, and it is even more important to seize opportunities. Huang Yi negotiated:
"If the vast majority of civil servants and military officers think this play is very good, I would like to ask you to discuss with the Governor whether we can arrange for the crew to tour in Xuan Da!
My purpose is to awaken the officials, soldiers and civilians through this drama, inspire their hatred towards the slaves and Tatars, and finally make everyone share the same hatred! "
Geng Zhangguang said, "This play is very good. I believe that my father, including the civil servants and military officers of Xuanda University, will love it. I will take care of the tour!"
The base area needs to be developed, which requires too much money and food. Huang Yi doesn't want to just work and pay for the job, Ming said:
"The ticket prices can't be too high. I don't expect to make money. I'll be satisfied if I can keep the crew from being hungry or freezing."
Geng Zhangguang was not a pedantic person. He understood immediately and said:
"I have watched the rehearsal of the crew. There are so many people and so many cars, how can everyone be busy in vain? In addition to the income from theater tickets, I also need to mobilize wealthy businessmen to raise funds."
Building a huge yurt, setting up a stage, and processing prefabricated parts on site was quite a movement. Geng Zhangguang, Geng Yueru, Geng Yueling, Auntie, etc. all saw it.
After asking, they all knew that Huang Yi ordered the crew to complete a theater that could accommodate 500 people in one day.
I just found out today that the crew did this because they were going to Xuan Mansion to congratulate them.
After all, Geng Yueling was too young. She had been looking sad just now, but at this moment she was indescribably excited. She took Geng Yueru's arm and whispered:
"My mother, aunts, and sisters will definitely like to watch this show. My brother-in-law's arrangement is a stroke of genius."
Geng Yueru, who was looking sad, glared at Geng Yueling and said, "Why are you so heartless! He is about to go on an expedition, how can you still laugh?"
"He is a victorious general! He will definitely make great achievements when he returns victorious."
"The troops of the Tatars and Jiannu are twice as many as theirs!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. My brother-in-law only has thirty-six people and he dares to attack a slave-building team of hundreds or thousands of people. Everyone says he is the reincarnation of the overlord!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want him to be the overlord of Western Chu."
Of course Geng Yueling had read Xiang Yu's story, and immediately stuck out his tongue and said: "My brother-in-law is not the overlord of Western Chu, my brother-in-law is the champion..."
"Bah! Bah! Bah! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you!"
At this time, I heard Geng Zhangguang's voice: "Don't be stunned, everyone. Pack your luggage quickly and set off in half an hour."
Geng Qi confirmed: "Master Huang, you must wait for the humble position!"
Huang Yi said: "Don't worry, the war will not end in ten days and a half. There will be a chance for you to make a contribution."
Geng Qi immediately urged everyone to get on the road early after receiving Huang Yi's clear answer.
Huang Yi thought of making several telescopes and said to Geng Zhangguang: "I would like to ask you to report to Governor Xuanda. Can you allocate some craftsmen with solid skills to me?"
"A dozen or twenty households is no problem. If there are more, we will have to do it in batches."
"I need craftsmen who can burn glass and polish crystals. I want to choose craftsmen who are as skilled as possible. It is best to have at least three craftsmen of each craft."
"Liu Li? Crystal?" Geng Zhanghua suddenly realized: "Huang Yi, do you want to find a craftsman to imitate the kind of telescope you use?"
Huang Yi gave a thumbs up and said: "You are so smart! You thought of it immediately."
"Brother, tell dad about this immediately when you get back and get a craftsman as soon as possible. I also want to use the telescope as soon as possible."
Geng Zhangguang also became interested and said: "Can you really imitate the telescope brought back from the Franchise Machine?"
Huang Yi said in a positive tone: "If there are a few big craftsmen who can make colored glazes and grind crystal stones to help, I will take the time to try a few more times, and it shouldn't be a problem!"
"Great, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get the best craftsmen. But I have agreed that you must give me one as a gift after you make it."
"That's necessary. You have to help me pay attention. You have to be careful to recruit people. Not only the craftsmen, but also their entire family!"
The reason why Huang Yi didn't make glass before was firstly because he didn't have time, and secondly because he considered confidentiality issues.
Now that the base city has defensive power, it is fully capable of opening the Golden Finger. Not only is it necessary to build an eight-fold telescope, but it is also preparing to build several thirty-two-fold fixed telescopes.
At the very least, one must be installed on each of the four gate buildings in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the base city.
The city guard sergeant could see the situation clearly on the beacon tower using fixed telescopes.
The sergeant on the beacon tower can use an eight-power telescope to see whether there are cavalry within thirty miles outside the mountain, and understand the flags played by the sergeant on the city gate tower.
Such contact can buy a lot of time for the soldiers and civilians to withdraw into the city. When the enemy suddenly invades, the losses in the base area can be minimized.
It is a pity that although many of the Han people rescued were craftsmen, most of them were masons, kiln workers, shoemakers, blacksmiths, etc. There were even craftsmen who made gunpowder, but they were not talented in processing jewelry and jade.
With the technology of the Ming Dynasty, polishing lenses was completely possible. As long as Huang Yi got a few craftsmen who could polish crystal stones and spent some time, he would definitely be able to make telescopes and glasses.
It doesn’t matter if your efficiency is low, practice makes perfect!
Making glass is similar to making colored glaze, except that the temperature and material requirements are different.
It would be easy to find a great craftsman who is good at producing colored glaze, and with Huang Yi's personal guidance and supervision.
But Huang Yi can't always do it himself. He must pass on the information and data saved in his mobile phone to the big craftsmen.
How can we ensure that technology is not leaked when people are separated from each other?
Only kindness and power can be combined!
Seize the home of a great craftsman to show your authority, give him generous treatment and higher honors.
Oversight and secret inspections were conducted to strengthen supervision, and it was discovered that the great craftsmen who dared to betray were not only beheaded, but also had their whole families implicated.
Therefore, it is very important to get a master craftsman with a complete family. A master craftsman who can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry should be used with caution.
