Chapter 228 Sending a Telescope to Beijing
Gu Fu knew that Song Renjing wanted cement in order to make a comparison with His Majesty the Emperor.
So in the afternoon, two caravan robots were sent to deliver a bag of cement to Song Renjing.
"Master Jing, our master brought a bag of cement when he left the valley and asked us to deliver it to you first. Where do you think we should put it?" asked the robot butler.
"Thank you for your help. Bring it in and put it in the hall. Thank my uncle for me." Song Renjing saw the caravan robot and thought it was sent by Gu Dajiang without thinking much. He said in surprise.
Although I was puzzled for a moment as to why I didn't hear my uncle mention it at the dinner table, I thought that maybe there were too many goods and my uncle didn't think of it at the moment, so I put it out of my mind.
"Yes, Master Jing," the robot responded, and put the cement into the living room as instructed. Then it retreated.
The things to be given to Grandpa were already prepared, with the addition of vegetable seeds given by sister Fuer. Song Renjing also included the matter of cement comparison in the letter.
Everything was ready. Song Renjing called the leader of the secret guards out and instructed him, "I have prepared something for Grandpa Huang. This time the things are more precious and heavier. You must be careful when transporting them on the road. You take everyone to escort them. Go early and come back early. If you can get back before we return to the valley, I will take you into the valley. If you find that we have left after you come back, you can stay in the shop as a clerk to protect the safety of the shop and Manager Zhi."
"Yes, master! I obey your command!" The leader of the Dark Guards knelt on one knee and responded.
At the same time, Gu Fu also considered Song Renjing's transportation problem.
After lunch, Gu Fu first took Zhibao to visit several other shops.
Wherever he passed, the empty rooms became ones filled with food.
With previous experience, Gu Fu arranged for the idle intelligent robots in the space to open the food packaging bags. This is why it is so convenient now.
Gu Fu couldn't help but complain about himself in his heart. Even in this life, he was using a smart butler, but he still hadn't fully adapted to the high technology after the apocalypse.
Thinking of this, she searched in the space for a long time, and finally found a simulated cat with electronic eyes and a simulated mouse with electronic eyes.
This little thing can be charged by running and jumping, and no special charging device is needed. It has a long service life and can be well integrated into the population.
Gu Fu placed them in the grain storage shops, firstly for surveillance and secondly to prevent rats from eating the grain.
With the cat's deterrence and the mouse's guidance, their granary can be preserved.
After the food was settled, the family’s business in Zesheng County was also completed.
The horses were not brought back into the valley because Song Renjing had to transport heavy items and the journey was long.
He had previously proposed to bring people into the valley, so he went to Song Renjing's room and found Song Renjing.
Song Renjing was sitting in the house, having just finished arranging things. The door was not closed. When he saw Gu Fu coming over, he immediately smiled and greeted her, "Sister Fu'er, you're here!"
Gu Fu smiled and nodded, "Brother Jing, we don't need to bring the horses we brought out this time back to the valley. I wanted to ask you if you want to use the horses in the valley to transport goods to Beijing. This way it will be faster."
Song Renjing was delighted when he heard this. "Thank you, Sister Fu'er, for considering this so carefully for me. I will borrow a few horses from you then."
"Brother Jing, you don't have to be polite with Fu'er." Gu Fu responded with a smile.
"Okay, then from now on, no matter what time it is, Sister Fu'er can't be polite to her brother."
"Okay, I won't be polite to Brother Jing."
"Okay," Song Renjing said with satisfaction, and then asked, "Sister Fu'er, now that we have a shop, if the emperor sends me a letter after we return to the valley, can you let Shopkeeper Zhi convey it?"
Gu Fu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but our letter delivery is a bit special. If it's a letter, it may not be the original one. Shopkeeper Zhi must read it first before it can be sent back to the valley. But I can guarantee that Shopkeeper Zhi will never pass it on to others. If you mind, Brother Jing doesn't have to. Second uncle should go out of the valley more often in the future. If there are any letters, you can let him bring them back."
After thinking it over, Song Renjing decided to trust the Gu family. "It's OK. I trust Sister Fu'er and our Gu family. But I still need to tell my grandfather in advance. Sister Fu'er, wait a moment. I'll write a letter."
"Okay." Gu Fu waited obediently while eating snacks.
After Song Renjing finished writing the letter and resealed it, he called out the leader of the secret guards again: "You heard what Sister Fu'er just said. Go and borrow a carriage and horses from Uncle Gu first. Pack up today and set off for the capital with your belongings tomorrow morning."
"I obey your command!" said the leader of the secret guards happily.
He was an expert on horses and had long seen that the horses in the Gu family stables were of extraordinary breed. Now that he could try them himself, he was naturally excited to take the order and go down to make the arrangements.
King Li received the telescope sent by Song Renjing again. He thought about the list in his mind and considered it again.
In the end, five sets were sent out first.
Not only did he write a letter, he also explained in detail how to use the telescope and how valuable it was.
He also personally taught the confidant who delivered the letter how to use the telescope.
After his confidant had learned everything, he asked him to take the telescope and the letter and deliver them to General Xu as quickly as possible.
Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct his subordinates: "When you meet General Xu, teach him how to use it, and let him distribute the other telescopes as appropriate. In addition, the rebel army has been too quiet recently, so in case of fraud, you can use the telescope to find out the enemy's situation."
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry. I have taken note of it." said the confidant.
King Li nodded, and his confidant took the order and left.
By evening, the officials and staff who had worked all day and night had finally completed copying and checking all the military books.
"Your Highness, we have fulfilled your mission. We have copied all the military books and checked them for correctness. Please review them." The Chief Secretary of the Palace said on behalf of the prince.
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work. Go back and have a rest early. You will have a day off tomorrow. The butler will send someone to deliver the rewards later." King Li said happily to everyone after taking a look at the book.
They have all been in this business for many years and understand the prince's style of doing things.
Everyone knew that the prince really used people lavishly and rewarded people generously, so no one declined. "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty. We will take our leave."
After thanking him, everyone left and went home to rest.
King Li briefly checked the contents of the book and then wrote a letter, explaining the whole story of the military book, and also mentioned the telescope and the application for cement.
As for the abnormality of the chaotic army, there is no result yet, so it is not mentioned.
After it was finished, he sent someone to deliver it to the capital at full speed.
His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia felt that this period of time was the smoothest and happiest time since he ascended the throne.
