There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 345 It's time for the main event
PS: This chapter is updated for Book Friends Rewards.

Since the sheet music of "The Butterfly Lovers" is in the place where the Qilin Army is staying, it will definitely be sent here.

A Song of Liang Zhu, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, admired the Qilin Army. The gentleman who created Liang Zhu is also an outstanding person.

After Liang Zhu's piece, Zhao Ji became interested in Li Chu's performance of Liang Zhu's two instruments again.

This is called a piano, right?
This is called a violin, right?

Zhao Ji sat next to the piano himself, stretched out his hand and pressed the keys of the piano, and immediately there was a musical tone.Zhao Ji was curious and pressed it several times, but it turned out that there were all kinds of tones, and he couldn't make up the melody, but he couldn't hear the music.

"My dear, how can I play the rhythm you just played on this piano?"

Immediately, Li Chu personally taught Song Huizong some simple notes and melodies. The melody rhythm of the piano is similar to that of the guqin, but there are also differences. The same thing is that there are many music scores, but the difference is the playing method and keys. This is what you need to learn. A very time consuming subject.

Li Chu was also fortunate enough to learn how to play before he knew how to play.

"Two tigers, old paper tigers, run fast, run fast, and have no ears or tails. It's so strange, so strange."

A simple melody of "Two Tigers" made Zhao Ji smile.

It's a brand new instrument, and it has an elegant sound that everyone wants.

Many ministers have made up their minds that they must send someone to the Qilin Army to inquire about this piano after the court today, and see if they can get a new piano for themselves to play this new piano, as well as the sofa. Draw, and get one too.

After trying the piano briefly, Zhao Ji picked up the violin again.

The violin is easy to play.

The reason why it is so good is that Erhu was played in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Erhu is a folk instrument, an actor's instrument, and conceited and elegant people like them would not touch it.Although he said he would not touch it, many ministers had secretly studied the erhu, and Zhao Ji was no exception. Not only that, he also learned two or three erhu songs.

So it’s easy to get started with this violin.

After Li Chu showed him and corrected his posture, Zhao Ji played a simple melody.Some flatterers didn't want to flatter Zhao Ji at this time, and Zhao Ji enjoyed it very much.

"Li Aiqing, just now you said that "The Butterfly Lovers" is more sad and desolate with the erhula?"

Li Chu nodded: "Back to the official house, the sound of this erhu is soft, melancholy, poignant, and simple, and it fits the sad story of "The Butterfly Lovers" better. If you use the erhu to play it, it will only make the sadness worse, but it is less. A trace of the beauty of the butterfly."

"After your score is delivered, I'd like to try the effect of this erhu playing."

Zhao Ji nodded, seeming to realize something.

"The last item on this gift list is a hydroelectric generator and a number of various lighting bulbs. I don't know what this hydroelectric generator is, and what are these lighting bulbs?"

Li Chu said: "I wonder if the officials have ever known about the 'Qingfeng Xu Lai Hotel' in Rufen Town of our Qilin Army?"

Zhao Ji nodded, some still didn't quite understand.

And Cai Jing next to him opened his half-closed eyes in an instant, and quickly returned to normal. He had already guessed what the last gift was, and he was shocked. He never thought that the Qilin Army could come up with such a generous thing.

Li Chu continued: "I think the officials also know that the Qingfengxulai Hotel is always as bright as daytime every night. The reason why this hotel is so bright is because of one thing, which is called a lighting bulb."

"Lighting bulb? Is this lighting bulb the same as your various lighting bulbs?"

"Exactly."

hiss……

Zhao Ji was stunned again, and the other ministers in the hall who heard Li Chu's words also gasped.

I have long heard of the Rufen Town of the Qilin Army. The lights are as bright as day before night. The reason why they are so bright like day is not with candles or lamp oil, but with something called electricity. It is said that electricity is converted from thunder and lightning from the sky.Everyone is very envious of this thing. In the city of Tokyo, I have only heard about it from some businessmen who brought it from Ruzhou, but I have never seen it.

If the gift sent by the Qilin Army this time is really this, then can they also...

Li Chu continued: "This lighting bulb is just a medium. To make this lighting bulb as bright as day requires another thing, and this thing is 'electricity'."

Zhao Ji exclaimed: "Could this lightning be thunder from the sky?"

"Like thunder, not thunder."

Li Chu is about to change the subject. There is too much knowledge about the difference between thunder and lightning. I will not be able to explain it to them for a while. I came to this hall without having breakfast in the morning. It is almost noon now. This belly There was already a rebellion.

"This electricity is generated by the hydroelectric generator. Install a large water wheel on the generator in the water, put one end of the water wheel in the water, and then generate electricity to generate electricity. With electricity, the light bulb can be turned on. As bright as day, then the officials will be able to make the whole hall as bright as day at night."

"Aiqing, how about showing me a quick demonstration?" Zhao Ji was a little impatient.

Cai Jing opened his eyes again. It was only at this moment that he understood what the waterwheel in Rufen Town was for.Xizuo found many of these waterwheels and windmills by the river in Rufen Town, but Xizuo didn't know what they were used for. Seeing that the Qilin Army protected these things very closely, he also drew drawings and sent them to Bianjing City.After Cai Jing got the blueprint, he couldn't understand the function of this thing for a while. It must be very important for the Qilin Army to protect it so tightly.

Unexpectedly, this waterwheel is to supply power to the lighting bulbs.

If the Qilin Army is to be conquered in the future, these water tankers must be destroyed first, and they must not be allowed to generate electricity.

Cai Jing thought secretly in his heart.

Facing Zhao Ji's request, Li Chu smiled wryly.

Next, he introduced the power generation equipment to Zhao Ji in detail. After learning that it needs to be installed in the water, the engineering team needs to measure the distance of the line, and which halls to install for power supply. The whole set will take several days time to complete.

It will take several days to complete it all.

After understanding the reason, Zhao Ji was not in a hurry to look at the light.In my heart, I am looking forward to this thing very much.

It is as bright as day at night, that is what the legendary luminous pearl can do.

If the night can be as bright as the day, then many things will be fun, hehe.

The presents have all been sent.

Zhao Ji's joy point has also reached the highest level.

Then it's time for the main event.

Li Chu turned around and searched for the figure of Prince Zhao Huan in the crowd.

PS: I recommend two novels by the same author.

Let me talk about "The Rise of the First Sino-Japanese War" first. Niu X negotiated with Li Hongzhang for this book in 7 months, and married her daughter by the way.Forcibly married Empress Dowager Cixi at the age of three, yes, it was Cixi...

His second book, "I Am the Great Judge", is a novel about immortality. The protagonist gets the judge's finger of the world and then subdues various female ghosts along the way. This needs to be coded and harmonized, cough cough.
