Chapter 929: Shangyuan Festival(2/2)
Seeing that Xie Yu was a little depressed, Xiaowen, who was approaching, thought of something and immediately shouted a warning: "Miss, the general is here."
There was a sound like something falling to the ground inside the house.
Xie Yu ignored it and walked directly into the house, where he saw Gan Qing who was picking something in a panic.
Xie Yu: "Gan Qing, what should you do? I have given an order that no one in the house was allowed to leave the house last night. Why didn't you listen to my order?"
Gan Qing turned around and looked at Xie Yu with her eyes red, swollen and disgusting from crying.
He carefully replied: "General, I was just too bored, and I heard that the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the capital was famous, so I couldn't hold it back. I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing Gan Qing's pitiful appearance, Xie Yu's anger immediately disappeared.
He helped her up: "Then there was a fire in Tian's restaurant during the lantern festival last night. Were you injured?"
Gan Qing seemed to think of something unpleasant, but it only passed by for a moment, and she still shook her head: "Although I am curious about the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival in the capital, I don't like the excitement, so I came back after watching a few lanterns!"
Xie Yu: "This way..."
Suddenly, Gan Qing took the initiative and threw herself into Xie Yu's arms, as if she had been wronged in some way, and whispered: "Master, I will definitely listen to you in the future."
It was so uncomfortable that Xie Yu couldn't hold it back, picked up Gan Qing and walked to the bed...
It felt like going back to the first night I met Gan Qing, no, it was even worse than that night, killing Gan Qing like a dead fish several times.
I don’t know what happened today, the iceberg turned into a volcano, it felt like...
Later, Xie Yu did often stay at Gan Qing's house.
Zhu'er was unhappy, but fortunately Pan'er was able to persuade her, and Xie Yu's life became smoother.
Not only Xie Yu, the heroine next door, Cheng Siniang, seems to also show the lethality of the heroine.
Obviously her appearance is only above average, and she looks very vulgar compared to other noble girls, but Xie Yu found that not only the male protagonist Ling Buyi seemed to be attracted to her, the table was full of fat, and she wanted to trade vegetables?
Is this the halo of a heroine?
Well, there are indeed some heroines with good minds, strong ability to cause trouble, and strong hands-on skills. If the heroines hadn't been targeted in this way by other noble ladies who came to visit them, they might have died several times.
Xie Yu realizes early on that in every world he travels to, he is no more than a male number N at most. Only by having a clear position can he live without being harshly targeted.
After all, most people only see the male and female protagonists, but ignore the background characters behind them. The survival ability of the background characters is actually the strongest.
You are the safest if you are unknown and no one pays attention to you.
Besides, power doesn’t need to be supported by others to support it.
The male protagonist and female protagonist are the root of trouble, they can be smooth and irreversible, and occasionally help. Although they may be dragged down, the return on investment will be unexpectedly high.
While occasionally helping Ling Buyi and Ling Zicheng with assists, Xie Yu looked for the rewards from the previous palace in the warehouse.
I found seven or eight fairly transparent gemstones from the Western Regions. In fact, Xie Yu always thought they were transparent pebbles. The stone was not too hard and was round. It was polished into a concave mirror and a convex mirror to fit.
Then, the blacksmiths, masons, and carpenters who had gathered in the bandit village in Qing County worked together to trial-produce whetstones and grinding wheels.
With the general principles in mind, Xie Yu had a handwritten distribution diagram, and soon a hand-operated grinder was produced.
First try to sharpen some small weapons such as daggers and arrowheads. After a few adjustments, you will almost have the finished product.
Finally, a large grinding wheel was trial-produced to grind the spear head, sword blade, and a small grinding wheel to grind gemstones to make concave and convex mirrors.
After the concave and convex mirrors are ground and stacked together, it will indeed have the effect of a telescope. Then let the carpenter take suitable bamboo to make a sleeve, seal it with gum, and a monocular telescope will come out.
A large one and a small one had just been made. The large one was about three times the size of the mirror, and the small one was twice the size. Xie Yuquan took it and let Major General Ling Buyi choose.
After a simple test, Ling Buyi immediately discovered its military value, made up a random reason, and took them all away.
Xie Yu had no choice but to leave the big one to Ling Buyi and keep the small one for himself, so that he could show his integrity.
However, after Ling Buyi got a large and small single bamboo tube telescope, he couldn't help but opened it out of curiosity and looked at it.
Then, then..., Xie Yu got a lot of transparent pebbles from the Western Regions!
Produced by Liang Qiuqi and Liang Qiufei, let Xie Yu produce more!
But it is not the case now. In the industrial age of later generations, grinding a suitable concave and convex mirror is all done by hand, which is a waste of effort, and the yield rate is still there!
Major General Ling Buyi: "I won't listen..."
Xie Yu made up his mind to hold back any thoughts he had. In the eyes of their superiors, those who could raise problems would also be able to solve them.
The euphemistic saying is that one thing does not bother two masters.
In fact, they are all cheating. Why should the migrant workers suffer for themselves? Isn’t it good for him to be lazy?
In the blink of an eye, spring has begun, everything has revived, and Xie Yu's pair of falcons have hatched their eggs and laid cubs. This is the first time Xie Yu has taken over the Shangyuan Township farm and the thousand acres of fertile land gifted by His Majesty.
I deliberately took leave from the Qimen Army and started farming myself.
I have never worked in a primitive society like this in ancient times, and I can’t really appreciate the achievements of modern agricultural civilization, especially large machinery.
Fortunately, because of the last bandit campaign, Xie Yu left enough livestock in the village to help with farming.
Fortunately, when he first moved into the farm, Xie Yu considered starting farming after the new year, so he drew it in advance. He drew roughly a simple curved shaft plow, a shovel, an iron hoe, a fork, a seed scatterer, and a simple pissed-off cow and other tools.
I arranged for people to purchase a large amount of iron materials from the nearby grass market. Since there was briquettes and there was no shortage of fuel, I was not afraid that they would make ordnance. As long as they had no requirements and could be used, I asked the Shouchi blacksmith to slowly try it out.
This cold season reserve immediately exerted great effect when plowing began, although the relative manpower was less than that of other farm households.
But the reason why humans can defeat ferocious beasts that are more powerful than themselves is naturally with the help of tools.
