Datang: Father, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 48: Money-making genius Xiao Li Zhi!
Although Li Chunfeng is still relatively young, in terms of seniority, he is already the head of the Taishi Bureau.

But he came today, but not because of the Taishi Bureau.

Just because I heard that Li Zhi actually has a telescope here, which can see beyond the sky, this is tantamount to a fatal attraction for an astronomy researcher like him!
So he hurried over early in the morning and asked to see Li Zhi. He had been waiting for a long time!

"I understand why you're here."

Li Zhi frowned and told him to get up first.

If you want to say, it is not impossible to lend him.

However, he is so easy to talk, everyone will come to him for things in the future!

Li Zhi stood in the yard, thought for a while and said, "I can lend it to you, but...you have to promise me three things, no matter what I say, you must complete it!"

As a result, when Li Chunfeng heard the words, he agreed without thinking about it!
"Your Highness, please do not hesitate to order, I am obliged to do so!!"

Ok……

Although Li Zhi asked him to promise three things, he couldn't think of what to ask him for a while, so he could only owe him first.

He asked Li Chunfeng to go back first, and at night he would personally bring a telescope to look for him.

Li Chunfeng is regarded as the best astronomer and mathematician of this era, and watching astrology with him must be much more interesting than those pure laymen.

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed when he heard the words, and thanked him excitedly!

Today, the palace is indeed spreading the news of what happened last night.

But in just one night, the news spread throughout Nuoda's imperial city, and it was only a matter of time before it reached the city.

"Can you see the mirror outside the sky?"

"Has Your Majesty seen the starry sky with his own eyes?"

"We live on a ball?"

The ministers from the Outer Dynasty had just arrived at the official office, and they heard from the palace people about what happened in the Zhaxing Tower last night.

Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and others soon gathered together, all with the same bewildered look on their faces.

Shouldn't the most shocking thing last night be the meteor shower? How did it turn into these bizarre rumors?

However, you don't need to guess wildly, you don't need to ask too much, you will know when you go to see His Majesty.

He was there the whole time last night!
After several ministers arrived in the Xuanzheng Hall, they were quickly and completely overwhelmed because of Li Shimin's sigh!
He said everything was true last night.

"There really is such a thing!"

Fang Xuanling was deeply moved.

But even if His Majesty admits it himself, it is hard to imagine that they should believe that they are living on a ball!
Xiao Yu said, "It's ridiculous. Look at the surroundings we live in, the streets, the city, where is it not flat?"

Changsun Wuji agreed, "That's right, how can there be any objection to something that can be discerned at a glance!"

Li Shimin put on an expression of hating iron but not steel, squinted down and taught,
"Your vision is too small, too small!

Zoom in a little more, and enlarge your mind a little. "

The ministers were not happy when they heard it!

They obviously heard that, Your Majesty, you just heard about it last night, and you also expressed serious doubts.

Why is it that our vision is too small?
It's so unfair!

But Li Shimin in the palace didn't feel wronged, he now felt that the following ministers had become bumpkins, and it was too difficult to explain the truth to them!
However, when he came to Xuanzheng Hall this morning, he discovered something unexpectedly, and he couldn't complain.

"Come on, come out with me."

Several ministers looked suspicious, but followed Li Shimin to the entrance of Xuanzheng Palace.

Next to the Xuanzheng Hall is the Tai Chi Hall. The entire building is isolated in a large square, and the bottom is covered with white jade stones, which are raised more than ten meters high. The square tiled steps are exactly 99 steps.

"From the gate of the Xuanzheng Hall, you can see the entire imperial city, and the horizon outside the city can be clearly seen!"

Li Shimin said.

Several ministers didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. From this perspective, the scenery was indeed very good, but what happened?
Li Shimin put on that expression of hating iron but not steel again.

"You guys! Is this world really square? Looking at the horizon in the distance, it is not clear that it is a circular arc?

This is enough to prove that we live on a very large sphere, and we need to climb high and look far to see some clues! "

It has to be said that Li Shimin is indeed extremely intelligent, which was unexpectedly observed by himself this morning.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng's eldest grandson Wuji, Xiao Yu and the others all stared wide-eyed.

They looked at the distant horizon, unable to speak a word.

Passing by every day, I didn't notice that the horizon in the distance is really an arc, not a straight line!
It turned out that they really lived on a ball!
This time, they also showed a dejected expression.

"Who is the master of the Ninth Prince?"

……

Unfortunately, this question of theirs will not be answered.

At night, Li Zhi took his binoculars to the Taishi Bureau in the Outer Imperial City.

Li Chunfeng lives here nearby.

During the day, people from the Taishi Bureau also made a lot of noise.

In fact, after several ministers left in shock, they arrived right after.

"Ninth Prince, I'm really sorry, I can't control them."

At this time, only Li Chunfeng was left in the Taishi Bureau, and he pleaded guilty to Li Zhi very disturbedly.

But unexpected.

Li Zhi just shrugged his shoulders lightly, "I've heard that they spread rumors that I'm a fake, but the facts are firmly established and cannot be shaken by them."

Li Chunfeng is really grateful to Li Zhi for his generosity!

He almost believed that Li Zhi would not come tonight.

Now he firmly drew a line with those Taoist priests, "I know that the telescope of the little highness is definitely not fake, there are no fake things in this world, only human hearts.

Your Majesty also called me during the day and asked me what I think about the starry sky, but I have never observed it, so I really can't answer..."

Li Zhi snorted and said, "I know everything, don't talk nonsense, read the astrology first, after reading it, I have the first thing to tell you."

In astronomy, Li Chunfeng is indeed more professional than Li Zhi.

He can accurately point to which area of ​​the starry sky the 28 constellations are in.

After using the telescope to observe, a new world has been opened up!

He also surveyed the moon in real life, just like yesterday in Zhaixing Tower, the shock in Li Chunfeng's heart was indescribable.

He opened his mouth and murmured, "So this is the real starry sky... Far beyond the imagination of the Taoist sages!"

He asked Li Zhi even more whimsically, "If the universe is full of planets, mountains, plains and rivers, are there people like us on any planet?"

Maybe there are aliens! !

Li Zhi grinned at Li Chunfeng's excitement.

"Unfortunately, so far, no trace of life has been found on any other planet.

Except for the planet under our feet, all the planets you can see in the telescope now are all dead stars! "

Li Chunfeng opened his mouth wide when he heard the words, feeling incredible.

The planets he saw through the telescope are more than billions...

Are they all Death Stars?
He didn't ask Li Zhi how he knew, since His Royal Highness dared to say so with certainty, he must have his confidence.

After a long silence and a long sigh, Li Chunfeng's mind gradually recovered from the shock of observing the universe and starry sky.

Tonight is the most important and brightest night in his life, and it will be difficult to surpass in the future!
He felt that with this telescope, he could compile a complete star map, which would be of great benefit!

As soon as this idea came up, as if Li Zhi noticed it, Li Zhi said to him, "

I intend to leave this telescope with you. "

Li Chunfeng was overjoyed, electric current flowed all over his body, and he almost wanted to hug Li Zhi!

"Don't be too happy...it's your research if you put it here."

Li Zhi gave him a disgusted look, "I want to use this telescope to make money, and you are the cashier!

That's the first thing I want you to do. "

Li Zhi said triumphantly.

Li Chunfeng: "Cashier, earn money?"

Incomprehension was written all over his face.

"How stupid."

Li Zhi said, "I heard that many people outside want to see the universe and starry sky, so I decided to satisfy them!"

He chuckled, then looked around, "Your attic is not bad, it is suitable for watching the starry sky, each person will be charged [-] yuan, and you can watch a stick of incense."

Li Chunfeng understood now!
Your Highness is going to use the telescope to make a fortune!
Five hundred dollars?His annual salary is only about [-] yuan!

Why don't you go grab it? !

Li Zhi saw the look in his eyes, and immediately snorted dissatisfiedly, "Not everyone can come and see! If you want to see, just obediently pay. This is called Li Zhi willing to fight, idiot willing to suffer!"

The corners of Li Chunfeng's mouth twitched...Your Highness, there is no need to speak the truth so bluntly.

But in the end, Li Chunfeng agreed.

He had promised Li Zhi three things, and he couldn't help but refuse.

He thought that not many people would come to see the sky-high price of [-] yuan, so shouldn't the rest of the time be his research?
Thinking of this, Li Chunfeng's heart became hot, and he was still very grateful to Li Zhi.

After watching the astrology for two consecutive nights, Li Zhi was already satisfied.

Or bored.

He is not an astronomer, so the telescope will be placed as long as it is in the future, so it is better to leave it to Li Chunfeng.

Of course, he is also serious about making money!
He then asked Li Chunfeng that every time someone uses the telescope, he himself must accompany it, and every transaction must be recorded!

Also, other people from the Taishi Bureau are not allowed to approach the telescope!
"No, I'm still worried, and I still need to send someone to guard it."

Li Zhi ordered, "Go and find a few guards, at worst pay the wages!"

Li Chunfeng couldn't wish for it, he was responsible for it all by himself, and he felt a little guilty...

The night was getting darker.

The two little maids have been by the side, watching His Royal Highness eager to try, but they are a little worried.

I don't know if this is my first time doing business, my little Highness will be able to dig out the first pot of gold smoothly...

Their worries are completely unnecessary.

The business of the telescope was completely detonated the next day!

Although there are rumors from the rest of the Taishi Bureau running around, the appeal of the telescope is obviously not that simple.

There are too many disciples from aristocratic families among the officials, all of whom are rich!
Five hundred dollars is a lot of money, but you can see beyond the sky!

His Majesty has said it himself, the scene outside the sky is incomparably magnificent, shocking, and the most spectacular in the world!

Who can't be tempted?
There are many people who have seen a stick of incense is not enough, and they have to pay more!
When Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others heard the news, they heard that even the prime minister had to charge a fee, and they were so angry that they blew their beards and stared!

But in the end, I paid the money honestly.

If this curiosity is not satisfied, I can't sleep at night!
Even the big merchants in the imperial city heard about it and wanted to pay to see it.

In fact, this group of businessmen is Li Zhi's real target.

After all, the base of businessmen is much larger than that of officials.

The outer imperial city allows civilians to enter, as long as there are people inside to guide them, Li Zhi will let Li Chunfeng carry out this business as a matter of course.

But Li Shimin, a despicable villain, actually banned civilians from entering the outer imperial city after hearing about this incident!

What's going on?
He ordered people to build a star observation tower on the wall of the outer imperial city overnight, and indicated to Li Zhi that it would be more convenient to move his position there.

Convenience is indeed more convenient, and then he will reap it naturally!
It's too shameful, it's half of it!
Li Zhi originally earned more than [-] yuan because of this business, but Li Shimin forcibly took half of it!
Li Shimin was so shocked when he counted the money!

Li Zhi is such a genius, he actually thought of making money with binoculars!
Taking advantage of the curiosity that everyone can't resist, he easily earned money that came faster and faster than salt and iron!
How long has it been, and it is almost enough to maintain the Yellow River dam!
In fact, Li Zhi acted completely unintentionally, and because of this unintentional act, the true face of Xingkong was widely spread.

It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The Taoist priests of the Taishi Bureau thus ushered in the end. They were arrested by Li Shimin and severely punished. More than half of them were dismissed from office!
The whole imperial city was watching this good show.

"These Taoist priests have been spreading rumors from the very beginning. If they didn't do this, they might not die so quickly."

"The general trend, their language is too pale!"

"I can't explain it myself. With the telescope of the Ninth Prince, His Majesty will not be fooled so easily."

Li Chunfeng was also almost implicated, but was saved by Li Zhi.

During this time, Li Chunfeng was very honest and curled up behind.

It was mainly the second thing Li Zhi ordered him to do, which required his professional talent as a Taoist priest to complete it quietly.

Time passed unknowingly, this was the most unremarkable period of time after Li Zhi came to Datang, and it lasted for nearly a month.

In this month, other than counting money, he lay salted fish at home, and he didn't do anything wrong at all!

Because, it's fucking hot!Three seconds after going out, your back will be wet!
When sleeping at night, the fan is full of hot air.

According to the elder palace people, this year's Xiahuhu is the first time in ten years.

Li Shimin, a master of martial arts, didn't care about his image, his collar was wide open, and his entire upper body could be seen.

At this time, no linen or cotton clothes will work!
Li Shimin shouted all day to go to the mountains to escape the summer heat, but he didn't take action.

The news he received from the underworld made him inseparable from Chang'an...

There is a hill in the imperial garden, which has been pierced to form a passage. This is probably the shadiest place in the entire imperial city.

When Li Zhi came over, it was already occupied by princes and princesses.

He came a little late today, so there was no place for him.

Facts have proved that the traversers still have to fight for territory with their brothers and sisters in the hot weather!
Li Zhi felt too difficult!
At this time, Li Zhi's elder sister, Princess Lizhi, saw him and asked Li Zhi to go to her side for a squeeze.

Li Zhi took a look, shook his head and refused.Sister Lizhi, as the eldest princess, already has many people around her.

"Aunt Yu'er, you are too stupid!" Li Zhi clenched his fists, he made a decision!

Don't wait, he's going to do it himself!
