Sakai Hoshino looked at Liu Mingzhi with a curious look as he handed the cloth bag, and without saying anything more polite, he directly reached out and took the cloth bag into his hand.
First, he held the cloth bag in his hands and looked at it carefully. Sakai Hoshino looked at Liu Mingzhi and waved it with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, can Hoshino be opened?"
"Open it, it was originally prepared for you to enjoy the scenery."
Sakai Hoshino nodded with an moved expression, carefully tore off the rope strap on the cloth bag, and gently took the contents inside in his hands.
"Jun Liu, what is this?"
"guess."
Sakai Hoshino looked at Mr. Liu's pretending to be mysterious, lowered his head slightly and carefully played with the retractable cylindrical object made of brass in his hand, silently guessing the name and purpose of the item in his hand.
It was originally prepared for you to enjoy the scenery.
The words Liu Mingzhi said before flashed through the beauty's mind, and she vaguely understood what the object in her hand was.
"Mr. Liu, isn't this the telescope your Dalong is talking about?"
This time it was Liu Mingzhi's turn to be a little surprised, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at the beauty.
"you know?"
Sakai Hoshino smiled brightly and did not immediately answer Liu Mingzhi's question, but quickly held up the telescope and put it in front of his eyes.
Such behavior seems to be an act of deliberately 'retaliating' against Young Master Liu to give himself a pass.
“Wow, it’s really a telescope!
Mr. Liu, this is too magical and unbelievable. How did you dragons make such a thing? Hoshino has never seen such a magical thing!
Wow, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, and Hoshino have seen the tower of the imperial palace. Not only can they see the tower, but they can also clearly see the officers and soldiers of the imperial army on duty on the tower.
This thing deserves to be called a telescope, and it is indeed worthy of its name.
Wow, the vague pavilion over there that I just saw can now be seen clearly. Just now I couldn’t see Hoshino clearly and I didn’t think it was okay. Now I use a telescope to see that one among the thousands of pavilions and pavilions.
The inconspicuous pavilion is so majestic."
Listening to Sakai Hoshino's startled words from time to time, Liu Mingzhi frowned slightly and looked forward along her line of sight.
Where did this silly woman know about telescopes?
Did I tell her about the telescope before? Why didn’t I have the slightest impression of it?
Is it because too much time has passed and I can’t remember clearly?
After taking another look at Sakai Hoshino, who was skillfully using a telescope, Mr. Liu squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and tapped his forehead.
Hey, this young master is really confused for a moment!
Over the years, Dalong's caravans have spread all over the country, and they often carry large amounts of goods out of the country to trade with all countries.
In order for the imperial court to detect the crisis as early as possible and take precautions in time, telescopes have already been introduced to the people.
Liu Mingzhi did not want the telescope to flow into the public at first. After all, the telescope is an indispensable combat weapon for Dalong soldiers.
However, under a certain range of government orders from the imperial court, more and more caravans of common people went abroad.
In order to ensure the safety of merchants and people, and to protect the interests of the Dalong court.
After repeated considerations, Liu Mingzhi finally decided to make telescopes available to private suppliers for use by ordinary people.
After so many years, I have already forgotten this not-so-important matter.
Since this silly woman came to the capital, she has been wandering around the major cities in the capital. It is not unusual to see a telescope in a certain store.
She must have seen a telescope in a shop or stall in the city, and then learned the name of the telescope from the bosses.
However, since she had seen the telescope before, why did she react with confusion when she took the telescope into her hand just now?
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, where is that place? What a beautiful scenery!"
Liu Mingzhi heard the beauty's loud inquiry and subconsciously replied.
"where?"
"There, there."
Liu Mingzhi saw the beauty next to him jumping up and down with excitement, and immediately looked in the direction of her finger.
"There are so many things in that direction. Which place are you talking about? Baiyuan Garden? Star-Zhaing Tower? Maple Leaf Forest? Or Purple Bamboo Forest?"
"That's the place with the red leaves. Those leaves are so beautiful!"
"I understand, the place you are talking about is Maple Leaf Mountain Forest, which is one of the most amazing sights in the Royal Garden."
"Yeah, yeah, please help Hoshino remember it. We will be the first to go to Maple Leaf Forest later."
"Okay, keep reading. If you see any place you like and want to go there, just tell me."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu."
"Why are you so polite? I asked you to come to the observation deck today. I originally wanted to show you the beautiful scenery in the palace."
"Can I go anywhere?"
"Of course, I can take you wherever you want to go in the entire palace."
Liu Mingzhi heard Sakai Hoshino's nervous tone and answered Sakai Hoshino's question without hesitation.
Of course, Mr. Liu just answered more readily.
There were some places in the palace that he really couldn't take Sakai Hoshino to visit.
Sakai Hoshino nodded vigorously, holding the telescope and continuing to watch the scenery of every place in the palace.
Amid the beauty's occasional surprised exclamations, time passed quietly.
I don't know how much time passed, but the beauty put down the telescope in her hand, casually took Mr. Liu's wrist and walked quickly towards the observation deck.
"Mr. Liu, let's go to Maple Leaf Mountain Forest quickly. Hoshino likes the scenery there so much."
"Slow down, slow down, those scenery can't be escaped, there is no need for us to be in such a hurry."
Sakai Hoshino's pretty face nodded with some embarrassment, and silently slowed down his pace.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and raised the telescope in her hand and waved it at Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino was so excited looking at the scenery that he almost forgot. Why don't you continue to ask me where I saw such a magical thing as a telescope?"
"If you want to say it, you will say it naturally. If you don't want to say it, I won't ask you any further. It all depends on your own decision."
Sakai Hoshino suddenly felt a little bored when he saw that Young Master Liu didn't seem to care where he knew about the telescope.
She originally thought of taking the opportunity to tease Liu Mingzhi, but now it seems that her idea has come to nothing.
"Mr. Liu, Hoshino first learned about the telescope in Nagasaki in our Japanese country."
"first?"
"Yes, a few years ago, when Hoshino accidentally learned from a servant that your dragon fleet landed in Nagasaki for trade, I immediately took my servants and rode a carriage to Nagasaki.
There, Hoshino saw your dragon's treasure fleet patrolling the Western nations, and also saw the patrol commander of the dragon fleet, Lord An Jianghe.
He saw that Hoshino could speak fluent Chinese, so he invited Hoshino to be the translator between your Dalong fleet and some Japanese merchants.
With Hoshino's help, your Dalong fleet quickly completed the commodity trade with our Japanese merchants.
Later, in order to thank Hoshino for his help, Mr. An invited Hoshino to be a guest on the big treasure ship he was on.
It was that time that Hoshino saw the telescope in Mr. An's hand.
At that time, Hoshino saw that he was always standing on the deck with a telescope and looking around, so he was particularly curious and asked him what a telescope was and why he kept looking around with a telescope in front of his eyes."
"Then what?"
"Dad, Aunt Hoshino, you are also down. Come and see what Sister Yingzhi and I caught."
"Sir, mother."
"Sister Yingzhi, fish, fish, fish, hurry up, don't let the fish escape."
The two people who were talking were startled by the sudden exclamation from the front left, and instinctively turned their heads to look forward.
In the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Liu, they saw Liu Lianniang and Hua Qiyingzhi, two little girls, standing wet by the artificial lake in the imperial garden, looking excited and waving their little hands to them.
