Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 63 Aiqing is old, do you have any thoughts of getting married?

"Sitting in this car, can you actually see outside the car?"

Ying Zheng reached out and touched the crystal window, feeling more and more fond of the Yuyu Car: "Where did Aiqing find such a large piece of ink-colored crystal?"

Qin Mo explained: "It is not crystal, but made of special sand and stone."

Ying Zheng nodded subconsciously, but then he was stunned and looked at Qin Mo in surprise: "Sandstone firing???"

The princes and princesses who got into the car to watch the excitement also had their faces filled with astonishment.

But it is unimaginable, how can sand and gravel be fired into crystal?!

"It is indeed made of sand and stone. The crystal bottles that were just given to the princesses are also made using the usual method. They are called glass."

Qin Mo nodded affirmatively and explained: "No need to think too complicated, this fired glass is just like fired colored glaze."

"Isn't the glass also crystal clear?"

"This method of firing glass is based on the refined and improved method of firing colored glaze!"

That makes it easier to understand.

Ying Zheng and the other princes and princesses suddenly realized that colored glaze was a rarity in this pre-Qin era, but it was not impossible.

It just doesn’t exist anywhere else, but it must be in the Royal Collection. I’ve seen and played with it all!

"Your Majesty, please look at this."

Qin Mo took off a golden bronze cylinder from the wall of the carriage and handed it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng thought that there was something very novel inside, so he squinted his red eyes and looked inside, but he was stunned when he saw it.

Is there someone inside?

What he saw was a guard warrior wearing iron armor. The warrior was still alive and yawning.

Ying Zheng's mind was spinning, and Danfeng's eyes suddenly widened for a moment. He looked away from the bronze tube and looked into the distance where the bronze tube was pointing.

There was a guard warrior standing there, and he could vaguely see him holding his saber with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, as if he was yawning.

Ying Zheng was shocked and surprised, and looked into the bronze tube again.

This time he saw clearly that what he saw was the guard warrior secretly yawning.

Maybe I was too sleepy and yawned to the point of bursting into tears!

"hiss……"

Ying Zheng repeated this several times, and suddenly took a breath of cold air and asked Qin Mo in horror: "This... what kind of magical weapon is this?"

Qin Mo Wan'er explained: "It's not a magical artifact, it's just made of transparent and pure glass. It involves Mohist learning, so I named it..."

Ying Zheng rushed to answer: "Celescope, what a good name!"

Qin Mo's eyes lit up, he nodded happily and said: "Your Majesty and I really have the same mind. I was also about to talk about the telescope."

He was happy, but Ying Zheng's face was full of constipation, and he suddenly doubted himself.

After all, being culturally and aesthetically similar to Qin Mo, a non-mainstream person, is really not something to be proud of!

Ying Zheng forced his attention to the telescope and praised: "This thing is of great use in the battle formation, but I don't know how much it costs?"

Qin Mo took off another magnifying glass from the wall of the carriage and asked Ying Zheng to play with it: "The glass lens placed in the tube is not worth a hundred dollars combined inside and outside. The key lies in the craftsman."

It's not like he hasn't tried to produce telescopes in recent years, using pure crystal instead of glass.

However, it is extremely difficult to find crystals with acceptable purity. After a long time, they were not enough for the craftsmen to trial-produce. In the end, they made a few, but the multiple was better than nothing, so they were shelved for the time being.

Now that transparent glass is available, with random wear and tear, a few skilled craftsmen are finally able to produce a high-power telescope!

"This mirror is really magical."

Ying Zheng held a magnifying glass and found that wherever the mirror shined, it would magnify several times.

Trying to shine it on Qin Mo's face, his eyes and nose suddenly became as big as a fist.

The princes and princesses poked their heads to watch, and screamed in surprise: "It's getting bigger, it's getting bigger~"

Qin Mo: "..."

Is it okay to explain clearly what has become big?

The driving of this car is inexplicable and embarrassing.

Ying Zheng played with it for a long time, then put away the magnifying glass and said to Zhao Gao: "Knowing that all the ministers are worthy of their duties, I have sent an edict to reward those who made the prototype of this mirror."

"In addition, the young master is working hard to make telescopes and assemble them with the generals of Qin Dynasty. They will be of great use in the southern expedition to Baiyue in the future!"

Zhao Gao took out the bamboo slips from the pen holder and quickly wrote down his orders.

Ying Zheng sat firmly in the car and let Zhao Gao drive the car for a lap in the square in front of the palace.

The square is paved with stone slabs. Although the splicing is tight, it is ultimately not as good as a cement road that is cast in one piece.

If an ordinary carriage walks on it, it will still inevitably bump when running fast.

However, a soft steel shock-absorbing plate was installed under the Yuyu car, and six sweaty horses galloped across the square. Sitting in the car, Ying Zheng could hardly feel any bumps and was very satisfied.

"With this Yuyu chariot, I will be much more comfortable when I patrol the Chu land later. I love you so much!" Ying Zheng praised without hesitation.

Qin Mo was not modest, and just said: "Your Majesty likes it, so you must take this car to attend the auction in the academy in three days."

Ying Zheng promised: "I will hold up the scene for my beloved!"

As he said that, he patted the grape wine barrel on the car and said, "My beloved and my visitor have given me a big gift. My children are also here. How about we have a banquet today?"

Qin Mo and Yu Ji clasped hands: "How dare you disobey me!"

…

Later, a banquet was held in the main hall, with fine wine, delicious food and Nuo opera.

Nowadays, the chefs in the palace have been replaced by Huotoujun trained by Qin Mo, and the dishes are quite delicious.

Fusu and his brothers and sisters toasted Qin Mo and Yu Ji one after another, one after another.

Even though the grape wine was sour and sweet, it really made the two of them choke.

Yu Ji's drinking capacity was not good enough, and she became confused halfway through the banquet. She was helped by the maid to go to the side hall to sober up.

When Ying Zheng saw that Yu Ji had left and Qin Mo was slightly drunk, he dismissed the Nuo opera actors and asked the older children to perform in person.

This is a family dinner, so we can show harmony.

Fusu was the first to leave the stage, and he staggered around and danced with a drunken sword. Then Yuan Man came off the stage to perform a dance, and all the princes and princesses sang and sang in harmony.

Ying Zheng waved Qin Mo to his case, pointed at Yuan Man and said, "What do you think, Ai Qing?"

Qin Mo was drunk but still had reason. In front of Ying Zheng, he couldn't look at his daughter randomly, nodded randomly and said: "As graceful as a startled giant, as graceful as a swimming dragon!"

"Hmm~"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, but he never expected that he would spit out such beautiful words when he opened his mouth, which was so exquisite.

It’s not so unconventional now!

However, Qin Mo's praise of Yuan Man played into his heart, and he said, "Ai Qing is quite old, do you have any thoughts of getting married?"

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly widened.

Then, under Ying Zheng's expectant eyes, he let out long wine burps: "Hiccup..."

Then with a bang, he fell onto Ying Zheng's desk.

Just a moment later, the sound of snoring started to sound.

Ying Zheng: "..."

Thank you emperors for subscribing!
