Xiao Ruxue said in confusion: "But the moon is over there. If my father moves here, I won't be able to see the moon."
The wise king smiled dryly and said: "If we can't see the moon, let's look at the stars. You can look at as many stars as you want in the sky. Just look at any number."
"Oh..." Xiao Ruxue agreed casually and continued to play with the telescope.
King Xian continued to play with Xiao Ye's car, looking here and there, having a great time.
Finally, the wise king let go of it, stretched out his hand to touch the lens barrel, nodded in appreciation and said, "It is indeed a strange thing."
Xu Qing looked at King Xian and asked, "Why don't you continue reading?"
"It's over over there, what do I, the king, want to see..." As the Xian Wang spoke, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He coughed and said, "Well, I already know the function of this thing, so there is no need to look at it anymore.
You kid really can give me a big surprise every time."
Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao just told me that as long as this device is installed in the army, the scouts will no longer have to risk their lives to spy on the enemy. I think it is very good."
The wise king shook his head and said: "Why should such a rare thing be used only to spy on the enemy?"
Xu Qing said in surprise: "Oh? Does the prince have any other good ideas?"
King Xian said: "Nowadays, as the Ministry of Industry and the Firearms Administration continue to improve the bomb-dropping vehicle, the distance it can throw is getting farther and farther, but there is also a problem, that is, the soldiers' eyesight cannot see clearly what is ahead.
The enemy's situation all depends on the scouts to detect the enemy's situation and then transmit it to the Chinese army camp, and then the Chinese army camp sends messengers to the firearms camp, so that the firearms camp can adjust the projection distance. Military orders are too late."
"Having such a rare object is equivalent to equipping the firearm camp with a pair of clairvoyance. Then there will be no need to rely on scouts. They can hit wherever I order them to hit. It's really wonderful!"
Xu Qing was slightly surprised when he heard King Xian's words: "Your Majesty, it's a good idea, yes, but this bomb-dropping vehicle is probably reaching the limit of modification after being modified like this, and the farther it is thrown, the more the canisters will break.
The loss is too great and not worth it. Let me show you what real firearms are."
The wise king was surprised when he heard this: "Is there any progress in the research of the Firearms Department?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I have some clues, but after all, this thing is created from scratch, and there are no classics to be found. It will probably take a long time."
The wise king asked: "How powerful is it compared to a bombardier?"
Xu Qing said: "The farther the distance, the greater the power."
When the Xian Wang heard this, he patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The Firearms Department must speed up its progress. Firearms production is related to the foundation of the country and cannot be neglected."
Xu Qing said: "Can I make a suggestion?"
The wise king stroked his beard and said, "Say."
Xu Qing said: "Have you ever heard of the story of Xu Fu's eastward journey during the Qin Dynasty?"
The wise king nodded and said, "I have heard that when the First Emperor searched the world for the elixir of immortality, an alchemist named Xu Fu appeared and told the First Emperor that there were three fairy mountains in the east: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, where there might be immortality.
The way to immortality, so the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to cross eastward, but later there was no news from him."
"It wasn't until the fall of Qin and the rise of Han that I realized that there were not three islands but four islands to the east, and there were a bunch of dwarfs living there."
The corners of Xu Qing's mouth twitched involuntarily: "Can you stop describing them as so cute?"
Wise King: "But they are indeed a group of dwarves."
Xu Qingshen nodded in agreement and said, "Nothing wrong."
King Xian said: "Later, they regarded us as their masters and existed as a vassal state. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, they sent envoys to our Central Plains to ask for the title of the country and were named Japanese by the emperor. Although our Central Plains is now divided, they still remain
I respect the Central Plains as my master, but I don’t have time to take care of them right now. What’s wrong? Suddenly it’s the New Year’s Eve?”
Xu Qing asked: "Why did Xu Fu go there in the first place?"
The wise king said: "Of course we are looking for the elixir of life."
Xu Qing said: "Your Majesty, I will tell you a secret. There is probably a legendary elixir of immortality in that place."
The wise king said with disdain: "In such a small place, do you still want to have such a magical thing? Besides, after so many dynasties, wouldn't you have known about it if it really existed?"
Xu Qing said, "If not, why is it so recorded in the book?"
Since Xu Qing had never lied before, everything he said was very reliable. The Xian King was half-convinced and said: "Really?"
Xu Qing said: "Since it is recorded in the book, it is very possible even if it is not true."
The wise king said: "In this case, I will ask the emperor to give them an imperial edict on another day, ordering them to work together throughout the country to find the elixir of life. Even if they think about it, they will not dare to refuse."
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "That's not possible."
The wise king wondered: "Why not?"
Xu Qing said: "Think about it, that place belongs to a foreign country and a foreign race. People who are not my race must have different hearts. What if they find it and eat it themselves and then tell us that they haven't found it?"
The wise king asked: "What do you mean?" Xu Qing said: "Don't issue an imperial edict, so as not to scare the snake. Let's find an opportunity to defeat it. After defeating it, it will be our own territory. Then you can send people by yourself.
Wouldn't it be more reliable to go and find it than to give an imperial edict?"
"Fight it down? Find the elixir of life?" The wise king thought for a while and nodded: "It makes sense... It's a pity that wars are raging in the Central Plains now, and our country of Chu has no time to take care of it. When the Central Plains is pacified, I will decide
We need to assemble elite soldiers and strong generals, even if we turn the island over with people, we will search for the elixir of immortality!"
A smile of success appeared on Xu Qing's face. He just said, "Which ruler doesn't want to live forever?"
Immortality and eternal youth are the dreams of every person in power. Even Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, the first emperor of the ages, desperately longed for this thing, let alone a good king?
No one can resist the temptation of the elixir of life.
Listen to the words of the wise king, even if you turn the island over to find the elixir of life... tsk tsk...
Xu Qing admitted that he was just fabricating the elixir of longevity, something that even Taoist Master Chunyang couldn't master, and it was simply unbelievable that someone from a remote country would want to have it.
Xu Qing sincerely apologized to the dwarves with a guilty heart. He was wrong. He should not have been such a sycophant to sow discord. He should not have brought war to other tribes.
But now it seems that King Xian has made up his mind, and Xu Qing has no choice but to bow to them...
Just when Xu Qing felt that his guess was accurate, the murmuring voice of the wise king continued to be heard in his ears: "The emperor is also a wise king, and his government affairs have always been handled in an orderly manner. If I get him a longevity pill, he can take it."
, won’t our country of Chu always have a virtuous king? If this continues, our country of Chu will surely conquer the Central Plains and embrace the world! Well, it’s worth it!”
Xu Qing: "..."
Xu Qing's heart: I shouldn't have any illusions about capitalists...
