Xue Xichen filled the teacups and handed them to several people one by one. Then she picked up her own teacup and drank tea quietly. Du Ziying asked with interest: "Xueer Qiulin has invented something new."
Xue Xichen raised her eyelids and glanced at Du Ziying. She replied calmly: "Have you ever seen a telescope?"
"telescope.."
Xue Xichen's answer intrigued both Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi. "Miss Xue'er, can you tell me in detail what a telescope is."
"A telescope. It can magnify distant objects and allow people to see clearly what is happening in the distance." Xue Xichen explained. "Take war as an example. Two armies are facing each other. You can see the enemy troops under the city from a distance. The tide is flowing, but you can't tell the expressions on each of their faces. With a telescope, you can clearly see the appearance of each enemy soldier under the tower."
"So magical..." Feng Qingge was extremely surprised. "What do you mean? A telescope can infinitely magnify things far away, allowing people to see clearly what is far away..."
"Yes, it is like that."
"Xue'er, can you let us see this telescope?"
"Okay. Just wait a moment."
After a while, Xue Xichen took out the telescope and handed it to Feng Qingge. Feng Qingge held it in her hand and looked through it repeatedly. She kept fiddling with and rotating the lens, adjusting the corners, watching carefully, and exclaiming "Tsk, tsk". She was astonished." It turns out to be true. I can really see things in the distance clearly. And I can see it so clearly."
"Qingge. Let me see."
Leng Junyi and Xiao Liuyue took the telescopes one by one and looked at them carefully. They were both amazed. Such a good thing would definitely be of great benefit if put into war.
When Han Qiulin came in, he saw Feng Qingge, Leng Junyi and Xiao Liuyue playing with his newly made telescope. He frowned. He didn't like his things to be touched by strangers. He snatched them back. Telescope. He looked arrogant and said coldly: "Don't touch my things."
"Ah, Qiulin, you're out." Du Ziying nodded.
Feng Qingge looked back and saw Han Qiulin. She couldn't help but look surprised. She just saw that he was unkempt and disheveled. She thought he must be an unkempt man. Unexpectedly, after washing and grooming, Han Qiulin turned out to be so handsome and handsome with fresh short hair. The thin face and the deep-set eye sockets are not due to staying up late for a long time. Instead, they are like the naturally deep eye shape of European aliens. Beautiful double-lidded blue eyes. The color is blue and blue. They are as clear as the blue sea and sky. His expression is condensed. There was a layer of frost on it. It seemed that someone was tampering with his things and it was very angry.
"You don't look like the people of Feng Yuguo." Feng Qingge said.
Xue Xichen replied: "Qiulin is half European. His father is European and his mother is a citizen of Fengyu Kingdom."
I see.
"Xue'er. Why did you give my things to strangers?"
Han Qiulin's face was full of displeasure. He asked Xue Xichen in a cold tone.
Feng Qingge was afraid that Han Qiulin would blame Xue Xichen, so she quickly explained, "Mr. Han, please don't misunderstand. It's because I was curious and Xue'er took out the telescope without authorization. Mr. Han, please don't blame Xue'er..."
Han Qiulin glanced at Feng Qingge coldly. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, which made Feng Qingge's scalp hurt.
Xue Xichen replied with a smile: "Qiulin, don't be so stingy. Things are made for people to use. Mr. Feng was curious, so I took it out for him to have a look. Don't forget, I also have half of the credit for this telescope. Can you You can’t keep it secret.”
"Snow."
Han Qiulin frowned. She clearly knew that he hated dealing with people. If she hadn't strongly requested it, he would have kicked all these strangers out. He didn't want anyone to disturb his peace.
As if she understood Han Qiulin's boredom, Feng Qingge held up her hands and said, "I'm sorry to bother you. Please forgive me, Mr. Han. We have no other intention. We only come here to visit because we admire Mr. Han's craftsmanship."
"Humph." Han Qiulin snorted coldly but remained unmoved.
"Qiulin, let me introduce you." Du Ziying seemed not to see Han Qiulin's face. Du Ziying introduced herself. "This is Mr. Feng. This is Mr. Xiao. This is Mr. Leng. They are all from Jiangdu. A businessman from the city."
"None of my business."
"They are interested in negotiating with you to purchase your invention."
"Buy my invention."
This topic obviously aroused Han Qiulin's interest. His face became less tense and his expression became less serious. He looked at Feng Qingge, Leng Junyi and Xiao Liuyue and asked, "What kind of business do you do? .What are you buying my invention for?”
"We are really interested in Mr. Han's invention. As for how to use it, we haven't thought about it for a while. We just want to buy a few and go back and have a look. If the effect is good, we hope to buy a large amount in the future." Feng Qingge paused. Added: "Of course. Price is not an issue. Mr. Han, just ask for it."
Han Qiulin stayed in the house all day long studying his inventions. He never cared about money issues, which led to his subsequent poverty. If he hadn't met Xue Xichen, he would probably still be relying on debt to survive. So... Han Qiulin Lin was very grateful to Xue Xichen. He basically left everything to Xue Xichen to decide.
He trusted Xue Xichen. This girl was both shrewd and stingy. She would never let him suffer.
"Xue'er, what do you think?"
"I think it's pretty good." Xue Xichen said with a smile. "As for the price...since Mr. Feng is so generous...how about a thousand gold pieces."
"One thing costs a thousand gold... Miss Xue'er, you are really a lion." Xiao Liuyue said coolly. "Let's not talk about the quality of these inventions. Just from the practical use, there is no use for them yet. If you buy it back, you can just display it for fun. A thousand gold pieces a piece is too expensive."
"Whether it's expensive or not, Mr. Xiao has his own calculations in his mind. However, these inventions are all good things. They are especially used in military city defense. They are not comparable to ordinary guns and ammunition. Just take a look at the ones on the tower. "The sky is full of flowers and rain". You know how much money was spent to build this city defense. One hundred thousand taels of silver. But the actual effect far exceeded the actual value of the one hundred thousand taels of silver. Are you right? Xiao Young Master."
Xiao Liuyue pondered. He had to admit that what Xue Xichen said made sense.
Feng Qingge was very happy. No matter what request Xue Xichen made, he would agree to it. He said: "One thousand gold for each item. That's it. Xue'er, please bring all the treasures out and show me."
"Young Master Feng is still happy." Xue Xichen smiled happily. One thousand gold pieces. Wakaka. She can make a lot of money. It not only consolidates the city's defense, but also enriches her own pocket. Not bad. Not bad. Very good.
Du Ziying shook his head. He was speechless about Xue Xichen's financial obsession. However, he was not going to speak for Feng Qingge. In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with making money from the imperial court to enrich his own pocket.
