Great Song

Han Miao's heart skipped a beat.Could it be that Shen Kuo mentioned Zhen Qiong when he presented the telescope?Or maybe he knew that the glass in Han's shop was the prescription given by Zhen Qiong, and then he spoke in front of the public?Han Xianggong asked suddenly, why?

Thousands of thoughts circled in his mind, Han Miao hesitated, but it was only for a moment, he said calmly: "There is such a person, but it is not an offering. To tell the truth to my uncle, Zhen Qiong is my lover, and we have an affair."

Han Qi was stunned.This afternoon, when he heard Shen Kuo mention "Han's worship", he suddenly remembered that Han Miao had also mentioned a "little Taoist leader", and said that this person brought up the harm of lead and mercury.But at that time, I said a word, and didn't say much.Now that the hatchback is reflected, there is a problem immediately.

In just one year, sugar, perfume, glasses and other novelty things that can make a lot of money have appeared in West Korea.Although Han Miao's talent is also responsible for this, but Western Korea was not involved in the trading of sugar, spices, or glass. Behind this mutation, there must be one, or even a group of people, who had a sudden whim and made a new product, right?But linking each of these piles with the "Taoist" who was carefully hidden, the meaning is quite different.

It was precisely because of this that Han Qi asked unexpectedly.The purpose is to test Han Miao's attitude towards the priest.Who would have thought that the word "lover" would be exchanged!

Han Miao actually likes masculinity and has an affair with a little Taoist?This is nothing, but facing himself, he can say these words without any hesitation, and the meaning behind his words is not difficult to guess.Han Miao wanted to protect this trail, even if he was facing the current Zaifu or his own elders, he would not back down.

Even Han Qi couldn't help being startled, and sighed, "No wonder you kept it a secret."

He was extremely optimistic about Han Miao, and now that the other party had made his attitude clear, it was not easy to make any further moves.

Han Miao asked back, "Uncle mentioned this, but editor Shen mentioned Qiong'er?"

Han Qi nodded: "That's right. Shen Kuo claimed that he understood the reason for copper smelting under the guidance of that trail, and deduced that there must be a big mine in Qianshan Mountain."

Bravery to smelt copper?Lead Mountain Mine?Han Miao was really at a loss, why hadn't he heard of this?

Han Qi was so perceptive, he frowned: "You don't know about this?"

Han Miao shook his head: "I really don't know. Qiong'er never mentioned it."

Only then did Han Qi feel relieved. If Han Miao had known about the possible existence of a large mine in Qianshan, but had not reported it, it would be unavoidable to be a little ghostly.The last bit of doubt disappeared, Han Qi said: "I don't know whether this matter is true or not. If it is reported to the emperor, it will definitely attract the attention of the court. Maybe someone will be recruited to demonstrate this method in front of the emperor. You have to think about it clearly. Take care of this."

If it is true, it will definitely attract the emperor's reward, and even bestow officials with rewards.On the contrary, if it is fake, it will be a crime of deceiving the king.

If the trail is just an offering, Han Qi can still say a few words.But he couldn't say anything about the person in the room of his grandnephew.How to think about it is up to Han Miao to decide.

Although they don't know the whole story, what Zhen Qiong and Shen Kuo both believe is true in all likelihood.For the discovery of a large copper mine, no amount of reward is too high, maybe it will become famous all over the world immediately.Zhen Qiong originally had the ambition to "create a sect and establish a sect", so maybe he could ride the wind and ascend to the imperial court.His unrivaled talent will surely be known by the emperor and princes.

It's just that Qiong'er at that time can still belong to me?And can he protect Qiong'er?

At this moment, Han Miao's mind was extremely complicated.After a long silence, he nodded slowly: "The boy has to go back first, and ask him what he means."

It was the first time Han Qi saw such an indecisive expression.This son Han Miao is extremely talented, bold and careful, even if others are afraid of difficulties, he is familiar with them like walking on flat ground.But now because of such a trivial matter, he is worried about gains and losses. It can be seen that the path is his weakness.

It's not that Han Qi has never thought about finding a good family for Han Miao and taking him into the family completely.Unexpectedly, this son turned out to have a habit of breaking sleeves.Sure enough, no one is perfect.However, this is also a good thing.Showing kindness to that Xiaodao is probably more effective than showing kindness to Han Miao himself.Not to mention, that is a strange person who can make white sugar and glass.Han Qi really became interested, and wanted to meet this treasure whom his nephew and grandnephew cherished so much.

If that Xiaodao really has such a great ability, let alone himself, I am afraid that even the emperor will be regarded as a guest of honor.

"Little friend, I mentioned you in front of Mr. Han today. Maybe you will be able to face the saint this time!" Shen Kuo rushed to Han's mansion as soon as he stepped out of the yamen to ask for credit.

"Ah?" Zhen Qiong was startled, and suddenly became nervous, "Isn't it because of the binoculars? I don't want to go to the Sitianjian!"

Shen Kuo laughed: "Of course not. I reported the matter of Qianshan Mountain, don't you also think there should be a big mine there? If you can find it, it will be thanks to God!"

When she heard that it wasn't about optics, Zhen Qiong immediately regained her spirits: "There will definitely be copper mines, but what does this matter have to do with Mian Sheng?"

"Why doesn't it matter?" Shen Kuo stroked his beard proudly, "I've said it all. It was only after you mentioned it that I realized that there might be a big mine in the lead mountain. If the emperor knew about it, he would definitely call you into the palace to demonstrate the courage to refine The method of copper. Wouldn’t it be up to Heaven to listen to it?”

"Wait, no one else knows the principle of copper smelting with gall water?" Zhen Qiong was both happy and doubtful.When he and Chi Liaozi talked about acid and alkali, the other party also knew about copper smelting with gallbladder.If this method would have been rotten for a long time, wouldn't it be a joke if he used it to show off in front of the emperor?

"Although others know that gallbladder can be refined into copper, no one can explain the reason clearly like you. Besides, don't you still have a glass vessel?" Shen Kuo replied casually with a chuckle.

He has read a lot of books, but he has never seen anyone who can explain why copper can be extracted from gallbladder?And Zhen Qiong not only explained the principle clearly, but also used a set of glass dishes to let him see the changes with his own eyes.Even Taoist priests who are proficient in Huangbaishu will definitely not be like this!

It is naturally rare to bring this thing in front of the emperor.

Hearing what Shen Kuo said, Zhen Qiong's eyes lit up.That's right, although this experiment is simple, there are not many people in Song Dynasty who can use glass dishes, right?He shows things in front of the emperor, and he can exchange them for rewards. It's a good thing that the sky drops gold. If you don't pick it up, don't pick it up!

"Brother Shen is too righteous!" Zhen Qiong grinned.Now that you can see the emperor, is it still far away from the Zongli sect?

"Where is there. How can I make a telescope without my little friend's advice?" Seeing Zhen Qiong happy, Shen Kuo was also very happy.This time I can finally help Zhen Qiong make a name for herself.With his talent, he should be recommended to the imperial court.Nested in a small courtyard all day, isn't it Qu Cai?

The two praised each other again, and Shen Kuo was satisfied and ready to go home.Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them left the gate, they met Han Miao who was returning on horseback.

When Zhen Qiong saw someone, she immediately showed off: "Brother Miao, Brother Shen recommended me to the imperial court, maybe I can face the saint!"

Han Miao faltered slightly when he got off his horse, stood still, and then forced out a smile: "I just came back from the Xianggong's mansion, and I heard about it. Does Qiong'er want to face the saint?"

"Of course I do!" Zhen Qiong replied without hesitation.

Shen Kuo asked curiously: "Is Han Xianggong really the brother's relative?"

"It's my uncle." Han Miao said calmly.

"Okay!" Shen Kuo also beamed with joy, "With Mr. Han taking care of me, my little friend will be safe this time!"

He was afraid that Mr. Han would not take this matter to heart.Now that Han Miao has been informed, how can there be any worries?

Han Miao didn't respond to Shen Kuo's words, turned his head, and whispered to Zhen Qiong, "Qiong'er really wants to face the saint? Didn't she avoid it when she made the binoculars?"

The development of the telescope, and even the extremely transparent glass, are inextricably related to Zhen Qiong.He never showed any desire to become famous.Why did Shen Kuo become interested again when he mentioned it?

Zhen Qiong chuckled: "The binoculars is not what I study, so of course I can't mix it up. But this time it's different. Bold refining copper is my profession!"

Not to mention optics, even glass, he is not interested in further research.But copper smelting with gall water is different.The mystery of metal replacement directly leads to the avenue of Jinshi School.If he can seize the opportunity, of course he has to show off!

Seeing his honest and happy appearance, Han Miao sighed in his heart: "As long as Qiong'er likes it."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head again and thanked Shen Kuo quite sincerely.The other party waved his hands again and again, humbled himself a few words, and then rode away happily.

After the guest left, Han Miao took Zhen Qiong's hand and led him back to the house.After Ping retired, he asked just now: "Then there is really a big mine in Qianshan Mountain?"

"Of course!" Zhen Qiong was full of confidence, "Brother Shen has seen gall water smelting copper with his own eyes. Every year gall copper can produce [-] jin of gallbladder copper. There must be a big mine nearby!"

"Is your bold method of refining copper reliable?" Han Miao asked again.

Zhen Qiong regained her spirits immediately, stood up and said, "Go! Go to the alchemy room, and I will demonstrate it to you! It is very simple and clear."

Han Miao held him back, and shook his head with a smile: "No need now, as long as you know what's going on in your heart."

If you ensure these two things, you will not commit the crime of deceiving the emperor.However, those around the emperor are all ministers, all of them look like Han Qi, they are old and mature.They don't rub sand in their eyes.And stepping into the court, all the flaws and ambiguity will become a deadly target, causing Qiong'er to be criticized and attacked.

Therefore, there are some things that he must ask in advance.

"If this method is not bad, it can indeed get you the emperor's reward..." After a pause, looking directly into Zhen Qiong's eyes, Han Miao slowed down his voice, and said word by word, "However, it's so important that others can't avoid it." I will also ask the last question, where did you learn it? Who is your mentor?"
