    In military wars, the importance of intelligence is undoubted. If you can know the whereabouts of the enemy in advance, you can naturally know your enemy and yourself and fight without danger.

    This telescope can see far and clearly. It only needs to send out a small number of scouts to detect a large area. This greatly improves the intelligence's detection capabilities. More importantly, it allows you to see clearly from a long distance.  If the enemy engages in any kind of empty city strategy, bluffing, etc., it will definitely be difficult to escape your eyes.

    When the time comes, whether you take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it or kill it directly, the initiative can be completely in your own hands, because the enemy's deception has no way of hiding it from you.

    In ancient times, unlike in later generations, the enemy's situation was often detected with the naked eye, which could only be discovered at a very close position. Often large armies were hidden in the woods, and they could launch attacks unexpectedly by walking on remote roads or the like.

    When you are bluffing, you can use some dummies from a distance to confuse the enemy, making the enemy think that the main force of their army is here, but in fact, the other side has transferred the main force elsewhere.

    All these methods may seem very simple, but they were often effective in ancient times. The important reason is that the investigation methods in ancient times were limited, and it was difficult to discover the truth inside without getting close to the enemy camp.

    But with this telescope, it's different. Find a higher place and you can see everything about the enemy clearly, and the scout's detection range, detection efficiency, etc. will be greatly improved, which is of great military importance.  it goes without saying.

    Although Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were all present, they could all be said to be literati, not warriors, and they did not understand military matters, but they still knew such superficial and simple things.  , and immediately understood the great role of this telescope in the military.

    "What is this telescope made of?"

    Emperor Hongzhi once again picked up the telescope and studied it carefully. He touched the glass mirror carefully and said, "This is too luxurious. It is made of colored glaze. Such pure colored glaze is really rare, and it is polished so smoothly."  .¡±

    "It's a pity. This thing is very useful, but this glass is too expensive. Such pure and top-quality glass is also very, very rare. It is impossible to manufacture telescopes on a large scale."

    Liu Jian looked at it and nodded and said: "It is indeed a pity. Such pure colored glaze is priceless in itself. It is used to make telescopes The entire Ming Dynasty cannot make a few telescopes."

    ¡°It¡¯s too expensive and the quantity is too small.¡±

    Li Dongyang also followed suit.

    Zhu Houzhao on the side watched as Emperor Hongzhi's attention shifted to the military role of the telescope, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Emperor Hongzhi didn't stare at him, it would be fine. As long as he acted coquettishly and behaved a little more, this would be fine.  The punishment of the book can certainly be waived.

    Hearing what a few people said, Zhu Houzhao also remembered that Liu Jin said that this thing is actually a gadget, and it seems to be worthless.

    Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao said: "This thing is actually not too precious. From what Liu Jin said, it seems that this telescope only costs 100 taels No, it can be built with only 10 taels of silver."

    At the same time, Zhu Houzhao also thought in his heart: "I shouldn't be cheating Old Liu. Ten taels of silver is a lot. If it doesn't work, Liu Jin must have many excuses to refuse. I'll pass this first."  Say it again."

    "I'm being punished for copying two books. It's better to ask me to die. Now I can only use Liu Jin to support me first."

    "Ten taels of silver each?"

    "Seriously?"

    When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became energetic.

    This 10 taels of silver telescope is naturally not cheap. It can even be said to be very expensive. You must know that buying a decent two-bedroom house in the capital only costs a few dozen taels of silver. Calculate  Considering the houses in the imperial capital of later generations, this telescope would cost millions It was simply extremely expensive.

    But now Emperor Hongzhi thinks this thing is very cheap. If it is true that 10 taels of silver can buy a telescope, Emperor Hongzhi will spend the money to buy it without hesitation. For military and national affairs, this little silver tael is simply not worth it.  What kind of.

    "It should be possible, maybe about 80% possible ~ I'm not sure, but judging from Liu Jin's intention, there is probably no problem."

    Zhu Houzhao was very unconfident when he said this, but he still bit the bullet and said, well, a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist, ?I just need to pass this test first. As for Liu Jin, he should be a lucky person with his own destiny.

    "If it's 10 taels of silver each, I think we should spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to purchase a batch. This money cannot be saved. With thousands of telescopes, then we can accurately grasp everything on the border, even  So we can also send people deep into the grassland to spy on intelligence."

    After Liu Jian listened, he thought for a while and said.

    When it comes to spending money, he, the chief minister of the cabinet, has always been synonymous with being stingy and stingy, but when it comes to matters related to military and national affairs, he is still very clear about not sparing money where it should be spent, or even spending more. In this way  Only then can it be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and beneficial to the country and the country.

    "Well, I also think we should purchase a batch."

    "Especially as the weather is getting colder and colder, and the Tatars and Walas in the north are frequently moving, we should be more prepared to control their every move, so that we can hold the initiative in our hands."

    Li Dongyang also echoed, this money should be spent, not saved.

    "This telescope is very important, and we must purchase a batch of it. However, we should also find ways to prevent this telescope from falling into the hands of the enemy, so we should think more about management methods to prevent it from falling into the hands of thieves."

    Xie Qian not only supports the purchase, but has also begun to think about the management and use of the telescope.

    "Then it's settled. Notify Ma Wensheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhou Jing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to discuss the purchase of telescopes. In addition, Xie Aiqing, please formulate a rule system for telescopes to ensure that the telescopes will not fall into the hands of the enemy.  "

    With the support of the three cabinet ministers, Emperor Hongzhi was also very happy and settled down while stroking his mustache.

    "I obey the decree~"

    When Xie Qian heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly said respectfully, then looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, the prince just heard that your majesty was worried about state affairs and wanted to share your worries with your majesty and serve the country. It shows that the prince is very filial.  He is always worried about state affairs, he is really very wise."

    "I request your Majesty to exempt the prince from the punishment of copying the book."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he couldn't help but take another look at Xie Qian. He had never thought that this bad old man was so pleasing to his eyes. These words really spoke to his own feelings.

    "Yes, Your Majesty, the prince is very filial and caring for the people and his country at such a young age. I also request your majesty to exempt the prince from the punishment of copying books."

    Li Dongyang looked around, thought about it and immediately gave advice to Emperor Hongzhi.

    "Hmm~ Well, for the sake of the three cabinet elders interceding for you, I will waive it this time, but it will not be the same next time."

    Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he nodded and exempted Zhu Houzhao from punishment.

    ¡°That¡¯s great~ Father, you still love me the most.¡±

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he almost jumped up with joy.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
