Zhao Mu's words brought the two of them back from their thoughts.
Looking at the telescope in front of me, I have never seen this object before, and it doesn't look like a mortal thing at first glance.
I could only look at him with a puzzled look.
Is it possible that my wise brother is not only resourceful but also understands Yin and Yang?
This stargazing is something Qin Tianjian does. Does his wise brother also understand this?
"Lao Li, what are you two still thinking about? Come over and take a look.
If you don't look at it, this Halley's comet will fly away. It's a once-in-a-century event. I didn't expect that you two would actually meet it in this life."
What is a once-in-a-century event?
They encountered this once during the Sui Dynasty, which eventually led to chaos in the Sui Dynasty.
And now they are encountered again, well, if this is the case, this is a sign of disaster.
How could he still talk and laugh when he just saw his wise brother?
"Shopkeeper Li, my young master asked you two to hurry up and take a look. You should come over quickly.
This Halley's Comet is flying so fast, if you don't look at it, it will really disappear."
Li Er stepped forward and imitated Linglong's approach and moved his eyes closer. When he saw the star flying past in the sky, he was startled and stepped back.
There are no stars at all, this is just a stone.
He looked hard and saw that there were still stones in front of him.
What's the point of my wise brother asking me to look at a stone?
"What did you see with this thing?"
"You should also come and take a look!"
Changsun Wuji was overjoyed and hurried forward to imitate their appearance and observe.
The moment he saw it, his whole person was stunned!
Isn't this just a stone? Or the kind of stone that can fly. Are you kidding me?
"Young Master and the other two don't want to watch, then I have to observe the moon!"
The two stepped aside, and Linglong took their place and began to look at the moon in the sky carefully!
"Brother Xian, could it be that the thing you just showed us is just a stone?
What is this thing used for? I, Lao Li, still don’t understand it!”
Changsun Wuji on the side also nodded heavily, expressing his doubts!
"This thing is called a telescope, and just like what you heard, it can see scenes thousands of miles away.
Imagine how far it is thousands of miles away."
The two of them made up the distance in their minds.
From Chang'an City to Liaodong, and then from Liaodong to Chang'an City, the distance traveled several times back and forth, which is about ten thousand miles away.
"The thing in front of you can see thousands of miles away?
Dear brother, you are not joking with me, Lao Li, are you? I, Lao Li, have little education, please don’t make fun of me!"
Seeing the shocked and confused expressions of the two of them, Zhao Mu wouldn't have bothered to explain anything under normal circumstances.
But today I made an exception and spoke a few more words to the two of them.
He stepped forward, adjusted the focus of the telescope, and looked at the gate of his village.
At this time, the lights were brightly lit in front of his own Zhuangzi, and this place was also located at the highest point in the entire Zhuangzi.
If you use your naked eyes, you can see someone patrolling there, but now with the telescope, you can see clearly.
Under the guidance of Zhao Mu, the two looked through the telescope.
When they saw that scene, the two people were stunned on the spot.
This? This?
The two of them were so shocked that they couldn't even speak!
"Brother Xian, what we looked at just now was the gate of your Zhuangzi? We can see it too clearly."
Li Er calculated the distance from their gate to here for a moment. This telescope was indeed as its name suggests.
As an emperor, and even more so as a general fighting on the battlefield on horseback, my whole body becomes hot when I look at this telescope.
Because he has already thought about what would happen if this thing was applied to war.
Just now, a group of them were talking about conquering the Turks. Unlike the Central Plains, the Turks had a large number of cities, and they had to conquer the cities before they could occupy them.
Their vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, and a team might appear somewhere.
Investigation became a top priority, and Li Er imagined such a scene in his mind, what if the Tang army fought against the Turks.
If the dispatched scout troops are several miles away from the enemy, they can detect intelligence through this telescope.
Does this mean that your own army can get the information as soon as possible, thus catching the enemy by surprise?
In this way, they took the initiative in the war.
I asked why my dear brother talked about the Turks today. At that time, I was still thinking about what to shoot with, and then I thought about this telescope.
My wise brother usually looks aloof and arrogant, but in fact he wants to use his own hands to donate the telescope.
I hope to help Datang conquer the Turks and provide assistance to Datang.
Although he was not in the court, he helped me several times and solved my urgent needs every time.
A man who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic has such great abilities. If he can be assigned to the court, he will have a capable general on his hands!
Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, saw the look in His Majesty's eyes and knew that His Majesty had a love for talents.
It won't be long before his brother Zhao will become colleagues like them.
"I said, Lao Li, what are you thinking about there?
Look at you smiling there, tell me, is there anything good you can do? Share it with us too?"
I'll join in!
I was only too happy and failed to control my emotions, so they showed up.
Now that he asked himself, he simply stopped pretending and showed his cards directly.
"My dear brother, I actually think that if you have such extraordinary ability, if you enter the court, you will have to start as a fifth-rank official."
Although a young man is capable, he cannot be given a third-grade official position as soon as he comes up.
These third-grade official positions are prime ministers and other official positions with real power. Giving him a fifth-grade official position allows him to practice and start from the basics.
Finally, if he is gradually promoted, it will be more than enough for him to reach the third rank.
"I told you before that it is impossible for me to be an official. Being an official is so tiring. Are any landowners happy?
Guarding my thousands of acres of fertile land, my family has a great business.
I can take the big guys to farm in the spring, go fishing in the summer, hunt in the mountains in the autumn, and cook hot pot in the winter. Isn’t that great?
Wouldn’t I be happy if I waited until I was 20 to marry a few more wives?”
"My dear brother, I see you are not young anymore and have reached the age of marrying a wife. Why do you have to wait until you are 20?"
It cannot be said, it cannot be said.
I know that people here get married very early, and they have already reached the age of marriage at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
But after all, I also went through higher education under the blue sky and white clouds, and got married at the age of 20. Perhaps this is the only obsession that has not changed since I came into this world.
