Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Crystal Mirror
The weather was new on September 9. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Chongyang Festival, the autumn is high and cool, Liu Bei, supported by the gentry of his subordinates, took everyone to climb high and look far away to avoid disasters.
Recently, Liu Bei is proud of the spring breeze, and everything goes well. Suddenly, there was a collective turn of the gentry. One by one, they obeyed their orders, and this attitude made Liu Bei feel a little incredible. How did he know that people wanted to pick him up, and then beat the gong and drum to send him away. Just like when Cao Cao was the lieutenant of northern Luoyang, everyone picked him up and sent him to Dunqiu to order Dunqiu. But Liu Bei didn't care what the gentry thought. In the face of absolute strength, it is better to hide those careful thinking and small calculations.
Of course, Liu Bei would not deliberately set himself against them. After all, they represent the elite group of society as a whole. Confrontation is better than cooperation. So Liu Bei told them that you don't have to think about the fields you worked so hard to cultivate in the first phase. However, in the coming year, Ben Taishou will carry out the second phase of development, and then you can participate, and some people will contribute people, and those who have money will pay for it, and the official will organize the displaced people who have been allocated land and have been resettled to carry out a wasteland. This time, except for a small part of the land that was distributed to the people, you should pay for the rest. However, it does not enjoy the three-year rent-free policy.
Although the conditions were a bit harsh, the gentry were smiling one by one. Without him, who can do large-scale land reclamation except for local officials who have this organizational ability?
The chores in the state were handed over to the county commander, and the public security and theft were handed over to the county lieutenant, and at that time, the atmosphere of the Han Empire was quite good. Most villages are inhabited by ethnic groups. There is anyone around here whose hands and feet are not clean, and who is not a good person, patriarch, Li Zheng's heart is very bright. Lose a chicken tonight, and the next day they'll know if the weasel took it or if it was eaten. Therefore, ordinary civil disputes, unless it is a major and controversial case, generally will not stab the Taishou. There are so many prefectural orders below. As for the scene of the bandits running rampant, no one can do anything but use the army to suppress it. Yes, Liu Bei's official work was quite easy, and when there was nothing to do that day, he came to the state school.
Liu Bei walked around in the state school, and there was a doctor in the state school who saw him and knew him, so Liu Bei waved his hand and asked them not to make a noise, and those who didn't know him only thought that Liu Bei was a student of the state school. Turning along the corridor to a location, I saw a group of students bending over and hugging around, not knowing what they were playing. Liu Bei walked over to take a look. Almost didn't jump, this group of teenage bear children took a convex lens to lead the sunlight to shine on a small bug, poor little bug didn't know whether it was hot or scared by so many people, one moment to this, one moment to that, headless and brainless.
Liu Bei said in his heart, this group of playthings is demoralized...... So he stretched out his foot and trampled the little worm to death, helping it to free itself. Then I thought, no, how can there be a convex lens at this time? I was about to ask, but the bear kids stopped doing it, and they were having fun. A little fat man said to Liu Bei: "You are so rude, how can you trample on our worms for no reason?" ā
Liu Bei was rarely free, so he became interested and said with a smile: "It turns out that this insect can still be raised?" ā
The little fat man's little white face was suffocated red, Liu Bei saw that he was dressed in a costume, and he was only afraid that he was a well-behaved child in the past, so he stopped teasing him, and said with a smile: "Okay, it was my fault just now, I accidentally stepped on your worm." By the way, what are you playing, can you tell me about it? ā
When the little fat man saw Liu Bei admit his mistake, he didn't pursue it anymore, and he found another one when the insect was gone. The anger just now came and went quickly, and when he saw Liu Bei ask about his pride, he couldn't help but smile and said: "We just played, it was the latest popular game in the Central Plains, don't you know?" "The land of Yizhou, called Shandong, is called the Central Plains.
Liu Bei shook his head, and the little fat man said proudly: "You know that the county is too guarded by Liu Yuanjun, right?" ā
Liu Bei nodded and said honestly: "I know!" ā
The little fat man looked honored and said, "That was invented by Liu Yuanjun of this county!" ā
Liu Bei is a little messy, when did I study this, why didn't I know? So he said: "No, but I've never heard of Liu Xuande like this?" ā
The little fat man was a little dissatisfied: "What do you know, Liu Zhijun has created a new physiology that benefits students all over the world, and this water jade can gather light, which was discovered by Guan Ning Guan You'an, a disciple of Mr. Zheng Kangcheng of Donglai." You know Guan You'an, right? That was Liu Yuanjun's fellow who slept together and talked all night! Although it wasn't discovered by Liu Yuanjun himself, if it weren't for Gewuxue, Guan Youan wouldn't have discovered this. ā
The little fat man said that Liu Bei was a little ashamed. Although he created the theory of things, his level is limited, and he is also a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he has always been in a state of having dates and not hitting a few rods. Coupled with the recent turmoil, I haven't paid attention to this development for a few days. As a result, something similar to a convex lens was discovered by the research, and he was still ignorant. It seems that the fellow sects and scholars are not idle, I just hope that they can combine practice and theory, otherwise Gewu will flow into miscellaneous studies. Liu Bei secretly made up his mind that he would still contact Zhu Tongmen more in the future to see what they were doing recently and what new discoveries they had made.
Liu Bei said, "Can you show me the water jade in your hand?" ā
The little fat man reluctantly stretched out his hand and said, "You have to be careful, don't fall, this kind of white water jade used to be worthless, but now it's expensive, and you can't buy it if you have money." This is what I begged for a long time before my father helped me get it back. ā
Liu Bei took it and looked at it, and his heart suddenly understood, I said, well, how can there be glass coming out in these years. This convex lens is a piece of transparent white crystal that is polished. In ancient China, crystal was known as water jade and quartz, which are recorded in works such as the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Looking at the carefully polished white crystal in his hand, Liu Bei also had a feeling of falling in love with it, he held it and aimed it at the sun, and then shone it on the ground, and a bright point of light suddenly appeared on the ground. I put my hand down, and after a while, I felt the warmth. I let it sit for a while, but I didn't feel the heat. Liu Bei knew that this was because the crystal was not as transparent and clear as glass, and there were also comprehensive factors such as caliber, polishing process, and the temperature of the sun.
Liu Bei nodded, and then asked again: "Guan You'an figured out this method, and taught you to use it to take pictures of insects?" ā
The little fat man's face blushed rarely, and he said shyly: "After Guan You'an accidentally discovered that the water jade could gather light, it is said that he wanted to do his best to collect all kinds of water jade everywhere for research. Bugs are played by ourselves. ā
Liu Bei was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, this is what, how can Guan You'an's generation of celebrities play with water jade all day long according to insects? But he wondered, why didn't Guan Youan ask me, and it also saved him countless efforts. He didn't know that he became famous at a young age, and although Guan Ning and the others were convinced, they did not have a long and short mind in terms of things. After all, the theory of things focuses on practice, although Liu Bei put forward the general outline of theory, but the practice of this kind of thing, but not just holding books and gnawing on it, the advent of the same thing, it will take countless studies, and in the end, it will be nothing.
There is no answer to the question of who is greater or more important between the theorist and the actual researcher.
Liu Bei thought silently and said to the little fat man: "Please help me get the book." ā
The little fat man is a warm-hearted good boy, after a while, he hugged a bundle of bamboo slips and walked out, Liu Bei took it, shook the handwriting on it with a white crystal, and suddenly sighed in his heart, Guan You'an, you didn't even find that the convex lens has the function of magnifying, what function did you study the water jade? I blamed myself for being too shallow in knowledge, and I didn't think that the water jade was on the crystal before, and I was bent on remembering how the glass was made. As a result, I found out that I was confused, so I gave up on this idea. I didn't expect to get this unexpected joy here.
Liu Bei smiled and returned the white crystal and the simple book to the little fat man, and said, "Thank you today, what's your name?" ā
The little fat man said: "No thanks, my name is Zhang Ren, which class are you, the new master, I haven't seen you!" ā
Liu Bei smiled slightly, but didn't say anything, and walked out.
After returning home, Liu Bei summoned his attendants and ordered him to summon skilled craftsmen in the county to obey his orders, and called people to buy white crystal. Although Bai Jing was coaxed, he could still easily get it if he wanted it.
In the winter of October, Taiwei Xu Ji left, and Taichang Yang was given as Tai Lieutenant. Liu Bei, the Taishou of Bajun, presented a crystal magnifying glass, saying that this thing can magnify things and has the effect of gathering fire. This is a new work of Gewu, which was founded by Beihai Guan Ning and improved by himself......
The emperor held this magnifying glass, which was exquisitely made, inlaid with copper and gilded on the surface, and had a great time. He turned the mirror over and turned it over, shining on the dragon chair and the dragon robe on his body. The ministers at the bottom of the ladder couldn't stand it anymore, so they advised the doctor and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Bei is far away in Ba County, and he doesn't think about how to appease Li Shu, but he is bent on flattering, and he worships such a plaything and loses his will to His Majesty, and asks His Majesty to destroy this thing, and the edict asks him to be responsible." ā
The emperor coughed twice and said solemnly: "Qing's words are wrong. Liu Bei has played, the research and development of this thing, not for the sake of playing, but this thing has the effect of enlarging the font, so he sympathizes with the middle-aged and elderly ministers with eye diseases. Therefore, dozens of mirrors were made and dedicated to the imperial court, so that I could reward the princes. cough, I also want to try to see if what Liu Bei said is true. Well, I've tried it, and it can indeed be enlarged, yes, yes, come on! So the attendant went inside and came out with a small box, and when he opened it, he saw that it was full of well-made hand-held magnifying glasses, wrapped in silk silk.
The emperor endured the pain and distributed them one by one. I wanted to play for a few more days, or just dominate myself. These magnifying glasses, Liu Bei is carefully prepared, and the workmanship is very fine. When you look at it, you feel like it's a tall thing. The emperor is a lover of freshness again, of course he likes it.
His Royal Highness, the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries, as well as the old and faint ministers, each has a handle. Someone took this magnifying glass and took a picture of the piece in his hand, hey, it's really strange, this word is clearly magnified several times, which is much easier than before.
This time, everyone was happy.
