Chapter 874: Good at Flattery

Xinbao was not surprised at all when he heard this: "Of course, a righteous man will have many supporters. Xinbao has a medical department, so there must be many people willing to help Xinbao."

Yan Shirong said: "The righteous will have many supporters, but this is not the righteousness I want."

Before he explained to his sister, she said, "Xinbao, of course you know. Xinbao, this is called extension!"

Emperor Mingpei said suddenly: "The predecessors planted the trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. You must learn to draw inferences from one example. Whether Xinbao has a medical department or has a servant named Dao, they are all Daoists and will have more help."

Xinbao swallowed and said, "Yes, Yeye is right! Anyway, Xinbao will definitely help!"

Yan Shirong: “…”

Okay, he just patted his butt and went to work.

Xinbao sat down and continued writing a letter to Huashi.

Writing letters to her elder brother, fourth brother and Xiaohua is her important daily task, but it is hard to go from extravagant to frugal, so now when Xu Zhiyu is not around, she asks Li Songqing to write for her.

And because a snowstorm was about to happen, the most important and last batch of supplies before the disaster were delivered a few days ago.

Xinbao was afraid that his little apprentice wouldn't be able to do it, and was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of himself, so he had a lot of things to remind him of. Moreover, it was fun for the wooden bird to do such things, and Hao Huashi hadn't had the chance to see it, so naturally he had to describe it to him in detail, trying to achieve the effect of making him see it with his own eyes.

Xu Zhiyu came over to ask for a meeting, holding a box.

Xinbao was busy, so Emperor Mingpei asked, "What is it?"

Xu Zhiyu smiled and said, "It's the 'microscope' that Your Highness mentioned."

Emperor Mingpei asked him to take it out and have a look.

Originally, they both thought that Xinbao would not be able to hold back and come over as they were talking.

Unexpectedly, Xinbao really loved his little disciple, so although he glanced at her several times, he still insisted on writing the letter and did not come over.

Fortunately, Liu Chengbao was special to Ye Ye and did not mind his special assistant reporting to a higher level, so Emperor Mingpei did read it first.

Then the two of them finished reading and talking quickly. For the sake of ritual, Xu Zhiyu put the microscope back into the box. After waiting for a while, Xinbao finally finished writing the letter.

After finishing the writing and handing it in, Special Assistant Xu stood up, but Xinbao sat still and said to Li Songqing, "Yesterday, Special Assistant Xiaoyu brought a box."

Xiaoyu's special assistant: "......?"

But after saying this, Xinbao said, "Okay, leave it there."

Then she came over.

Xu Zhiyu was extremely curious. He was now more willing to speak, so he asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean? Is this the letter you are supposed to write tomorrow?"

Xinbao nodded: "Yes!"

She said to him, "Xiao Yu, during the days when you were away, Xin Bao figured out a secret of letter writing. Xin Bao can teach you."

Xu Zhiyu cooperated and acted extremely interested: "Thank you, Your Highness. What is it?"

Xinbao said, "After you finish writing a letter, it's best to start the next day's letter while you're still feeling the writing feeling... Otherwise, by the next day, you may have a lot to say, but you just don't know what to write in the first sentence, which will waste a lot of time."

"Oh," Xu Zhiyu said quickly, "I see. Then I can use this secret when I write articles in the future! Thank you, Your Highness. You really helped me a lot."

Xinbao pursed her lips and said modestly, "It's okay. You are Xinbao's special assistant, so it's only right for Xinbao to teach you."

Emperor Mingpei watched silently.

Haha! This special assistant Xiaoyu is not good at anything else, but he is good at flattery, which makes Xinbao very happy.

Then Xinbao asked, "You made a microscope?"

"Yes, yes!" Xu Zhiyu took the box again and took out the microscope.

After all, we are still in the early stages. If we want to make a difference in the future by using microscopes... well, forget about the electron microscopes and optical microscopes used in laboratories or teaching. Today's microscopes can only be said to be an improved version of a magnifying glass.

It is made of copper and has a simple structure. It consists of three lens barrels and two convex lenses. The two lens barrels can be inserted into the thick lens barrel and are movable to achieve focusing.

This kind of microscope can clearly see the wings and legs of flies and mosquitoes, but it cannot see bacterial cells and the like, so Xinbao felt that the name "micro" was a bit untrue. The two discussed for a long time, and finally Mingpeidi made the final decision and named it "millimetre microscope".

Anyway, this was the first new thing made by Assistant Xu’s team, and it was done well the first time, so Xinbao praised him seriously for half a minute.

Then Xinbao thought, since they already have the millimeter mirror, they might as well make a telescope as well. It just so happens that his mother and father are going to fight the Jurchens, so maybe it can be used.

Then she described the telescope using both words and comparisons.

Xu Zhiyu already had some knowledge in this area and nodded repeatedly.

Then the two of them finally finished talking, and Xu Zhiyu left excitedly.

Emperor Mingpei looked up and around, and said, "Let's replace the glass windows next year."

Xinbao looked up himself.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The glass has been manufactured a long time ago. It was said from the beginning that it would be replaced, but it has never been replaced.

This is purely a matter of concept. Since I have never used it and felt the difference, I have no urgent desire to change.

Xinbao nodded: "Let's change it, it's brighter."

Emperor Mingpei looked at the window, imagined for a while, turned around and was about to talk to his granddaughter, but when he turned around, she started writing a letter again, and she wrote it herself, without letting Li Songqing write it.

Emperor Mingpei asked in surprise, "Hasn't today's work been completed?"

Xinbao said: "It's not for my brother and Hua Shi, Xinbao wants to write one for Xie Wenkai."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "What should I write to Xie Wenkai?"

Xinbao said, "It's like making a sight on a 100-step cannon."

In fact, this touched upon her blind spot in knowledge. She only knew very simple things, but what did it matter? There were so many geniuses in this world. As long as they were given a direction, they could create things she could not imagine...

Xinbao wrote as if possessed by God and finished the letter in a flash. Then he called Xinjiu over and asked him to ask Xu Zhiyu for some lenses, and then deliver the letter to Xie Wenkai.

After Xinjiu left, she remembered something and said to Emperor Mingpei, "Yeah, yeah, lend it to Xinbao alone."

Emperor Mingpei asked, "Don't you have someone?"

Xinbao said, "But today is the ninth day of the ninth month, so only Xinjiu can go. There is only one Xinjiu, so we have no choice but to borrow from Yeye."

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He really lost to his granddaughter and could only signal one person to come out.

Then Xinbao gave instructions one by one: "Go find your brother first and return the car that day to him. Tell him to make it look better, check it to see if there are any problems, and then... send it to Lord Li and ask him to pick a good-looking servant tomorrow. He will ride this car to and from court every day."

The person who came was a eunuch, who asked cautiously, "Which Lord Li?"

Xinbao said: "Li Tingfang! You'd better find a reason..."

She thought for a long time and said, "Xinbao can't think of it, but it doesn't matter. Just tell Lord Li. If others ask, he can just smile mysteriously. Aren't they all good at that?"

Emperor Mingpei: “…”

He suppressed his laughter and picked up the book again.

He felt that being with his granddaughter every day and watching her come up with endless creative ideas was much more interesting than reading books.
