"Please invite Master Zhou to come in." Duan Fei stood up to greet him, and Zhou Zhe walked in with a smile and said, "Master Duan, it's been a long time since we last met. Is there anything new you want me to do?"
"Is the microscope I made last time still usable?" Duan Fei smiled at Zhou Zhe.
Ran said: "It's very good. Recently, with that thing, making small things doesn't require much effort on the eyes. People who do our job often have useless eyes when they are over fifty. No matter how good the craftsmanship is, it is impossible to touch and carve."
?This thing from Mr. Duan is simply great for us!”
Duan Fei smiled and said: "There are better ones."
Zhou Zhe was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Hurry and take a look."
Duan Fei smiled and took out something he drew last night and said: "This thing can be big or small. If it is small, you can wrap a rope around your head and hang it directly on your eyes. It is a concrete and microscopic microscope that can be carried with you. If
When it is made larger, with two or three pairs of lenses, you can clearly see very distant scenery. It is not an exaggeration to call it clairvoyance, but I prefer to call it a telescope..."
Zhou Zhe only took one look at it and clapped his hands and said, "I'm worried that the microscope is too big to handle. I have a habit of working half-lying on a chair, so the microscope can't be used. I've been
I thought hard and couldn't figure it out, but I didn't expect it to be so simple. A thin line can solve the problem. It's wonderful, it's really wonderful!"
"If it is made more refined, you can directly clamp it with your eyes..." Duan Fei gestured and said, "This is nothing. The real good thing is this telescope. If it can be used on the battlefield,
This thing is a treasure... If someone can dedicate it to the current emperor so that it can be used on the battlefield, it will be an unparalleled achievement!"
When Zhou Zhe was thoughtful, Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes lit up like light bulbs. He said with great interest: "Is it really that good? It just allows you to see further. Master Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Zhe replied: "Seeing the enemy first on the battlefield will increase your chances of winning. If the clairvoyance is in the melee, it will be even more useful. Shopkeeper Zhang, if you like watching theater, you should have seen the scene where Liang Hongyu plays the drum to help her husband? What if?
Liang Hongyu has this thing, I'm afraid Jin Wushu won't be able to escape Huang Tiandang."
Speaking of something familiar, Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but nod his head and replied: "Not bad, not bad, it is indeed useful and of great use. So Master Zhou, you have to build this thing as soon as possible."
Zhou Zhe nodded and said to Duan Fei: "Mr. Duan, if you are not busy making this thing, you told me about the refractive index and transmittance last time. I have a tendency to forget things. Please ask Mr. Duan.
Explain it to me again."
Duan Fei smiled and said: "Don't worry, I haven't finished talking about this telescope yet. Think about it, if almost every general of our Ming Dynasty has a telescope, wouldn't they have a share of it during the battle?
The advantage? It’s a big deal.”
"This..." Zhou Zhe pondered and looked at Shopkeeper Zhang. Shopkeeper Zhang nodded and said, "If the Emperor likes it, and someone can recommend it, it is possible, but the number of departures will definitely not be too large at the beginning.
And if an expert sees this thing, will he imitate it quickly?"
Duan Fei replied: "The smaller the quantity, the higher the price. Hasn't Bao Daxiang always taken the high-quality route? Counterfeiting is inevitable, but they don't understand the principle. It's not that easy to imitate. Firstly, it's hard to guarantee quality, and secondly
Their cost will be much higher than ours. As long as we add Bao Daxiang’s logo in appropriate places and increase publicity so that everyone can tell whether it is genuine at a glance, are we still afraid of others competing with us?”
Zhou Zhe nodded and said: "Well, Mr. Duan is right. Counterfeiting is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the craftsmanship and technology. Now we still have the treasure of microscopes. If we engraved very small characters on every mirror we sell,
With the words "our Bao Daxiang" on it, it would be difficult for other craftsmen to copy it, what does Shopkeeper Zhang think?"
Shopkeeper Zhang slapped his thigh and said: "Hurry up and build this thing. The Emperor is about to go to the army himself. Time waits for no one. If it is really that good, this thing will become our Bao Daxiang's life-saving treasure...
…”
Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly remembered that Duan Fei, an outsider, was present. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said: "Mr. Duan, you said you wanted to do a business with us. Could it be related to this telescope?"
Duan Fei smiled and said: "Yes, I require this telescope to be independently accounted for. I will make a 50% profit for every one sold! The accounts are settled every quarter."
"10%!" Shopkeeper Zhang showed no mercy in counter-offering, and both sides bargained. In the end, Zhou Zhe couldn't stand it anymore and decided to settle with Duan Fei at a 30% profit.
After the business was settled, the two parties signed a simple agreement. Duan Fei then went to the backyard to review the basic knowledge of optical physics with Zhou Zhe, and supervised him in making a beautiful telescope.
The copper mirror body is engraved with flowers, birds, fish and insects. The spiral grooves allow the upper and lower barrels to adjust the focal length infinitely. The three convex lenses made of top-quality crystal have excellent parameters. This telescope has almost reached the level of the first-generation telescope.
The limit is that until the glass craftsmanship reaches a certain level, there should be nothing better.
Duan Fei left Bao Daxiang with his telescope and a large box of jewelry. As soon as he went out, he saw Huang Suliang standing opposite Bao Daxiang, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.
"Fat Huang, are you waiting for me?" Duan Fei coughed, calling Huang Suliang's soul back.
"Mr. Duan, have you finished your work?" Huang Suliang came up happily and said: "Mr. Duan, you are carrying a heavy treasure, do you need a follower? If one or two gangsters come, I can still deal with it."
Looking at his fat body, Duan Fei thanked him and said calmly: "With your body? I can knock you down with just one hand. What are your plans for waiting for me here?"
Huang Suliang changed his face and said, "Mr. Duan, to tell you the truth, this is the first time in my life that I have so much money in my pocket. This makes me don't know what to do. I went back to see you just now.
My mother, after hearing what I said, she scolded me for being blind and ignorant of noble people. It was then that I suddenly realized that I was right. The young master is my noble man. If the young master does not give up, I am willing to follow him from now on for the rest of my life.
I will never leave you, and if I violate this oath, I will suffer a puncture in my intestines and a fatal death!"
Huang Suliang knelt down in front of Duan Fei, hugged Duan Fei's thigh and howled: "Master Duan, Master Duan, please take pity on me and take in this miserable orphan..."
"Get up, how unbecoming you are..." Duan Fei felt sick for a while. This guy went too far. He lied without making a draft. He had an old woman just now, but suddenly he became an orphan.
"If you don't agree, I will kneel down until I die!" Huang Suliang shouted.
"Okay, okay, I promise you for now, get up now!" Duan Fei roared, and Huang Suliang jumped up as if there were springs on him. He wiped his sleeves on his face casually, and that face appeared again.
He had already put on a flattering smile when he was in front of Duan Fei.
Duan Fei said in a low voice: "I'm not a watchman, nor a high official, I'm just a low-ranking little catcher. Now that you know my true identity, it's still too late to get out."
Huang Suliang cheered up and said happily: "It's better this way. If the young master is really a young master who is looked after by a high-ranking official, I can only make a living by following the young master. I can rely on the power of a tiger to dominate the world, and the young master is all
Being able to have such a net worth by one's own efforts, and having a commoner body that makes Bao Daxiang's shopkeeper Zhang and Master Zhou value so much, my eyes will not deceive me, just like the uncut jade that is still buried in the soil, the young master is just
There is nothing left yet, the future is limitless, I am willing to follow the young master, no matter whether the young master is rich or poor in the future, I will never abandon him!"
The fat man's expression was unprecedentedly solemn. After looking into his sincere eyes, Duan Fei nodded and said: "Okay, I will give you a task now, a very difficult task. Let's go to a quiet place."
Speak slowly."
After a deep conversation with Fatty, Fatty left full of joy and excitement of being trusted. He also took away Duan Fei's one hundred thousand taels of silver notes. Duan Fei asked him to go to Yingtian Mansion to wait for an opportunity to acquire real estate. In front of King Ning,
When the army is about to approach the city, Ying Tianfu's land should fall faster than the jewelry. If it goes as expected, it would not be a bad idea to go to Ying Tianbao Daxiang's headquarters to buy another batch of jewelry.
Duan Fei is not afraid of this guy absconding with the money. On the one hand, the money is easy to come by, so Duan Fei doesn't take it to heart. On the other hand, Duan Fei also wants to give him a try. If Huang Suliang will not betray him at this time, he will not betray him in the future.
He has really become famous, so how could Huang Suliang betray him? Huang Suliang still has certain talents, at least he is a profiteer. In the future, he might be able to earn ten, one hundred thousand taels, or even one hundred, one thousand taels for Duan Fei.
indivual……
Duan Fei returned to Baoying County and continued to stay there. In fact, he didn't stay there for more than a few days when the news of King Ning's capture came. At this moment, the army personally commanded by His Majesty Zhengde had just left the capital.
On April 25, the 14th year of Zhengde (April 25, 1519), Ning Wang Chenhao besieged Anqing and Wang Shouren raided Nanchang. Chenhao ignored the advice of military adviser Li Shishi, abandoned Anqing, and returned to rescue Nanchang.
On April 26, the 14th year of Zhengde, Ning Wang Chenhao's army was besieged at Huangjiadu by Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an, Dai Deru, the prefect of Linjiang, Xu Lian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, Xing Xun, the prefect of Ganzhou, and Hu Yaoyuan, the general magistrate of Duanzhou.
, after the defeat, he broke through the blockade and fled eastward, stopping at Huangshiji at night.
On April 27, the 14th year of Zhengde, King Ning Chenhao offered a large amount of money to encourage his subordinates to fight to the death with Wu Wending's army. Wu Wending went to the front line to fight to the death, and defeated King Ning's army again. King Ning retreated and formed a square ship formation. Wu Wending fired.
The attack finally defeated Prince Ning's naval force, and captured Prince Ning's father and son, guests of honor, ministers, generals, etc. The rebellion of Prince Ning ended quickly, less than a month ago.
Duan Fei originally thought that the world would be peaceful after King Ning was captured, and his appointment certificate would be issued. Who would have thought that Emperor Zhengde did not return to Beijing and be captured, but continued southward, and even staged a good show to capture and release King Ning.
In the name of the mighty general Zhu Shou, he quelled the rebellion and made great contributions to himself.
Emperor Zhengde's army entered Nanjing in a triumphant manner. The Tianfu government was facing a formidable enemy and urgently recruited capable officials from all over the country to ensure social harmony and security. Under the recommendation of General Judge Xie Zhijun, Duan Fei was ordered to come to Nanjing...
This is the end of the first volume of "Rogue God". What will happen to Duan Fei after he goes to Nanjing? Can the clouds follow the dragon and the wind follow the tiger? The saint's actions make all things visible... Stay tuned for the second volume of "The Hunting of the Ming Dynasty"
