Great Song

Although it took a lot of time to go to the northern suburbs, Han Miao did not expect it to take so long.So as soon as he arrived at the door, he greeted him: "Why is it taking so long? What's wrong with you?"

"Abducted to the palace..." Zhen Qiong sighed dejectedly, "The government has sent me a new job."

"Didn't you say something in the Military Weapons Supervisor again?" Han Miao raised his eyebrows. It wasn't because he had sent a new errand, but something new happened, right?

"I didn't say anything, it was Supervisor Su who brought up the cannon, and I just agreed. He dragged me to the official's house!" Zhen Qiong couldn't help but sued, she was so wronged.Su Song himself wanted to make a cannon, and he was so smart and capable, why did he get him involved?He's busy too!

Although I don't know what artillery is, it must be a major event that can alarm the emperor if the person in charge can directly bring Zhen Qiong into the palace.It's inconvenient for him to ask about such confidential matters, but he has to ask about some things.Han Miao changed the subject and asked with a smile, "How is Supervisor Su?"

Han Miao was more caring than Zhen Qiong, and had inquired about the origin of the supervisor of the military weapons department early on.Su Song has a good reputation. He can compile books in Jixian Hall, not to mention his talent. He is also very clean and honest when he is an official outside.He thought that Qiong'er would live in peace with this person.Why do you look like you're chatting happily on the first day you take office?

Of course Han Miao understood that it was not a bad thing for Su Song to bring Zhen Qiong into the palace to meet the emperor.Half of such a big contribution should be given to Qiong'er, if it's not to curry favor with the celebrity in front of the emperor, or he really thinks Qiong'er is talented?

Everyone praised him, and Zhen Qiong couldn't speak out against his conscience: "Supervisor Su is a nice person, and he is careful. He can understand everything I say, and he can draw inferences."

He still didn't understand a lot of what Qiong'er said!Han Miao took him into his arms calmly: "Sounds similar to Shen Cunzhong?"

Zhen Qiong nodded vigorously: "It's just that he is older than brother Shen and looks better."

The corners of Han Miao's mouth twitched twice: "Why don't you invite him to have a meal with brother Cunzhong? You two will work together for a while in the future, so you can ask him to take care of you."

Of course, Zhen Qiong had no objection to this.It would be even better if Han Daguan could persuade Su Song to let him do less work.

■

Su Song was quite surprised when he received the invitation from the Han family.But he didn't refuse, not because of the banquet in Fanlou, but because the person who posted the post was the legendary "Han Daguan".

Daoist Zhen likes men, but he told himself in front of the emperor.Since he wants to work with Daoist Zhen, Su Song will not be ignorant of this person.He didn't take this matter to heart at first, but after seeing Zhen Qiong, he had to take it to heart.After all, the little Taoist chief is knowledgeable and curious, and he is a rare talent.If the entrustment is not human, it is not good.Even if that person is Han Xianggong's nephew, he still has to persuade him.

However, when he arrived at Fanlou and saw Han Miao, Su Song felt a little surprised in his heart.This son doesn't look like a businessman.Moreover, his appearance is not as good as imagined, and he is slightly inferior to Daoist Zhen. How can he be favored by the Daoist?

"Qiong'er first arrived at the Military Weapons Supervision, and I was troubled by Supervisor Su to take care of her." Han Miao smiled warmly and calmly, as if he was not meeting a court official, but a family friend.

Facing such a hospitable smiling face, how could Su Song put on a face: "You can only know his great talent after meeting Daoist Zhen. Han Langjun knows Daoist Zhen acquaintance, and I think he has something extraordinary."

This may sound like a compliment, but the priorities are clear.If it is a person with a shallow mind and a deep mind, there will probably be some discoloration.Han Miao smiled more cordially: "How can a mere merchant matter compare with Qiong'er's way? Supervisor Su is overrated."

Su Song glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Then why did Mr. Han invite you today? Could it be that you want to speak for Daoist Zhen? Love is enough to harm him, so I hope Mr. Han thinks twice."

Is this because he is afraid that he wants to be a lobbyist for Zhen Qiong and avoid the trouble of making cannons?Han Miao understood the deep meaning of Su Song's words, and said calmly: "Qiong'er serves the emperor, and matters related to state affairs, I will not intervene. It's just that he is out of temper, and there are not many people who can talk, so he invited two Three friends, get together. Supervisor Su is too worried."

It turned out that he was helping Zhen Qiong to improve the relationship between his staff and subordinates. Seeing that Han Miao was so honest, Su Song felt relieved.It is forbidden to spread the matter of the Military Weapons Supervision to outsiders. If these two people do not care about the importance, it will be very wrong to treat the emperor's instructions as a trifling matter.Without such worries, he happily followed Han Miao into the Accord.As soon as I entered the door, I saw a person I wanted to see.

"Brother Jing Sheng invited Su Dianzhuan." Shen Kuo was overjoyed, "Brother Su, please sit down!"

Shen Kuo was weak since he was a child, and he still attached great importance to medical books.The most comprehensive medicine classic in this dynasty, "Tu Jing Materia Medica", was compiled by Su Song.How could he not know this person?It's just that Su Song was a Jinshi a few years earlier than him, and he has been in different government offices.

Isn't this Shen Kuo who made the telescope?Su Song was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, the glass prescription of the binoculars came from Zhen Qiong, and the Han family also opened a glass mirror shop. It is not surprising that the two of them are familiar with him, so he smiled and said: "Shen Zhongyun is also here, I mentioned it to the Taoist priest before, and I saw it unexpectedly."

oh?Su Song mentioned herself?Shen Kuo looked at Zhen Qiong curiously, and Zhen Qiong curled her lips: "Su Supervisor wants to mount the binoculars on the eight-ox crossbow."

"That's not a bad idea." Shen Kuo immediately praised, "Ba Niu is better than shooting far, beyond the reach of eyesight, so you can only aim roughly. If you install a binoculars, you might be able to shoot down the enemy's commander-in-chief flag, Or the enemy general who is commanding nearby."

Su Song said modestly: "Eight oxen crossbows equipped with telescopes are like tigers with wings. But Wangshan must be reset to be useful."

Shen Kuo couldn't help laughing and said: "Attach the tip of the arrowhead with your eyes, draw it with the speed of looking at the mountain, and determine its level, using the Pythagorean method. If you change the binoculars, the look at the mountain will be very different. Fortunately, With Brother Su presiding over this matter, it should be solved easily."

Generally, the crossbow is aimed at the mountain.As long as you look at the mountain, the tip of the arrow, and the enemy, you can easily hit it.The scale added on Wangshan is just the simple use of the Pythagorean algorithm.Switching to a telescope, the distance ratio is different from visual inspection, and the calculation method will naturally change.

Seeing what Shen Kuo said was the biggest difficulty in modifying the eight-ox crossbow, Su Song couldn't help showing a smile: "How can this trivial trick compare to Shen Zhongyun's fantastic mirror-making? Tianjing, how is it made?"

"Oh, there are too many mediocre people in Sitianjian, I'm afraid it will take some work." Thinking of the bad things that happened to Sitianjian, Shen Kuo felt upset and changed the subject, "It's my younger brother who recently noticed the three rings of the armillary sphere. Something is wrong, the white ring often does not match the position of the moon, and it is very cumbersome to cover up the sky."

Su Song is also a master of astronomy, how can he not be familiar with the armillary sphere?Immediately said: "The position of the month can be easily calculated. The white ring is indeed useless, but if you move it, you will inevitably have to move the equator and ecliptic rings. I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."

"Trouble is better than not being able to see the sky." Shen Kuo shook his head firmly, "If the sky mirror is made, but there is no useful armillary sphere, it will be trouble. I think even the peeping tube needs to be enlarged. ..."

"What kind of multiplication method?" Su Song also became interested, forgetting that there were two other people at the same table, and couldn't help asking.

"You also know that Zu Jingshuo once said that the Polaris is more than one degree away from the sky. I use a peeping tube to see it, but I often can't see it. I'm afraid it's because of the degree difference..." Shen Kuo explained seriously.

How can things in astronomy be explained clearly in a short while?Zhen Qiong was dumbfounded, watching the two guests chatting with great interest.Aren't you here for dinner?Have a good meal, what are you talking about stars?

"May Qiong'er understand what the two distinguished guests are saying?"

Coincidentally, Han Miao asked aloud from the side.Zhen Qiong's face darkened immediately: "I don't understand!"

He is a student of nature, astronomy and things, what does it have to do with him? !

"Then these two hit it off." Han Miao picked up a piece of crispy meat with a smile and handed it to Zhen Qiong's mouth, "Let's eat first. Try this venison, it's not bad."

As a result, after one night, Zhen Qiong listened to the zodiac, the precession of the day, and was fed a stomach full of delicacies by Han Miao, and she couldn't even say a word of excuses.After a few days, he was bitterly called to the Military Arms Supervision, ready to go to work.

The cannon workshop in the northern suburbs has not yet been built, and the preliminary processes such as copper smelting and casting have to borrow the workshop of the military supervisor for the time being.Originally, the helmet case was a giant, but it was converted into a military weapon supervisor, and there are still countless kilns and craftsmen.

When I came to the Military Weapons Supervision, I saw this densely packed workshop, each performing its duties.Zhen Qiong was stunned for a while, then suddenly became excited.When he was studying gold and stone, he didn't have the space to smelt and smelt it by himself, and what he learned was all on paper.Now that there are a lot of things in front of you, isn't it an excellent opportunity to "apply what you have learned"? !There are so many workshops, if you try a few of them, no one will have an opinion, right?After all, he is also a consultant to the Armament Superintendent!

With a look of excitement, Zhen Qiong said to Su Song: "Su Supervisor, can I take a look at the workshops in this prison one by one?"

Su Song asked a little vigilantly: "These workshops have their own precedents, why should the Taoist bother?"

Didn't he want to shirk the responsibility of making the cannon again?

Zhen Qiong would not let go of the opportunity, and hurriedly said: "I once heard Ren say what it is called... Oh, yes! If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools! Making guns requires a lot of copper and iron, so don't look at it first." How to hammer and forge copper and iron, and how can we ensure that the raw materials are usable? It just so happens that I also know some metallurgical methods, so I can give some pointers."

Su Song was really surprised: "The Taoist master still knows how to smelt?"

Zhen Qiong immediately patted herself on the chest: "Jinshi is my profession! Supervisor Su, just rest assured, with me here, I guarantee that good news will come out!"

The author has something to say: "Focus on the tip of the arrowhead with your eyes, draw it with the speed of looking at the mountain, and judge its level, using the Pythagorean method." This sentence comes from "Mengxi Bi Tan".Hehehe, the chemical industry is to be used at the national level, so Qionger didn't take those small troubles of sugar perfume at all =w=
