"Uh, Master Liu is old. It's normal for him to not be able to see things clearly, isn't it? Forget it, Ink Girl, don't grind the lenses for now. Just make a magnifying glass for Master Liu! He's not in a hurry to use it! "
Li Zexuan didn't want to explain too much, so he just gave a vague explanation and wanted to slip away.
But Mo Lingwei didn't want to let him have his way, "Hey, Yamachō, why can't old people see things clearly, but with a magnifying glass, they can see things clearly? What knowledge is there in this? "
What knowledge is there in this? What knowledge is there in this? It's just a matter of correcting the vision of hyperopia. But if he really wanted to explain it to Mo Lingwei, this girl would definitely ask what was hyperopia? Why did he need a magnifying glass to correct hyperopia?
If he wanted to explain all these miscellaneous questions to Mo Lingwei, it would probably take him a long time to explain them to her.
Li Zexuan didn't want to accompany this silly girl in the cold wind no matter what, so he didn't dare to stop walking. He said as he slipped away, "We'll talk about this later! Ink Girl, remember to go to the workshop tomorrow and help me make the magnifying glass! If you feel that you can't do it alone, then you can ask Yan Shaoning to help you! "
…
The next day.
Li Zexuan went to the academy and discussed the dam construction plan with Mo Huai again. Mo Huai still felt that the plan wasn't perfect, so he requested to modify it again.
On Li Zexuan's side, he had already started to send people to recruit workers! If he wanted to build a dam, he would need at least a few thousand people, and it would be best if they were good at swimming.
Fortunately, the entire Lantian County had become Li Zexuan's fief, so it was much easier to recruit craftsmen. According to Wang Zhong, in just two days, there were more than two thousand villagers who were good at swimming came to "apply". It was estimated that in another week, all the craftsmen would be recruited!
Coming out of the academy, Li Zexuan coincidentally met Mo Lingwei. After learning that this girl had made the magnifying glass for Liu Yidao in just one morning, he clapped his hands and laughed, praising Mo Lingwei greatly. Then, taking advantage of Mo Lingwei's joy, Li Zexuan immediately slipped away. He had to go home to eat, so he didn't want to be caught by Mo Lingwei again.
…
"Wife, there's news from father-in-law. Do you want to hear it?"
After returning home, Li Zexuan's to find Han Yuxi.
"Ah? Husband, my father's a letter? "
Han Yuxi stood up in surprise and asked Li Zexuan.
"Yes! He just came this morning! "
Li Zexuan replied with a smile.
Yifang County was not far from Chang 'an City. It would only take a day to travel 800 miles!
"Husband, tell me what's written in the letter?"
Han Yuxi quickly put down her work, came over, and asked anxiously.
"Haha! Wife, take a guess. Who did father-in-law meet in Lan Province? You definitely won't be able to guess! "
Li Zexuan smiled and said mysteriously.
Han Yuxi rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Who else can he meet? My father doesn't know anyone there. Husband, aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me by asking this question? "
"Haha! Okay, I won't tease you anymore! Wife, father-in-law said in the letter that he met Liu Shiren and his son there! "
Li Zexuan took out a piece of paper full of writing from his sleeve, handed it to Han Yuxi, and said with a smile, "It's quite a coincidence.
"Speaking of which, it's a coincidence. Father-in-law originally planned to buy the three farmsteads that he told me about before, but he didn't expect Liu Shiren to be living in one of them. Moreover, this fellow was chased out of Plum Village last year, but his evil intentions didn't change. After he went to Willow Village, he still bullied the people and kidnapped the women of the village. Now that he has been arrested by the County Magistrate of Yifang County, he really deserves to be punished.
"Yes, yes! This father and son have finally received the punishment they deserve! "
Han Yuxi said with a gratified smile.
After lunch, Li Zexuan went to take a nap. Spring was sleepy, autumn was tired, and hibernated. Especially during the transition between winter and spring, if he didn't take a nap at noon, he would feel uncomfortable in the afternoon.
When he woke up, it was already two o 'clock in the afternoon. Han Yuxi came over to tell him a piece of news. "Husband, Faubert sent someone to tell me that the steel you want has been refined, and it has been handed over to Master Liu to draw patterns on it!"
Li Zexuan said in surprise, "Oh? So fast? That's great! "
According to this progress, he should be able to receive the finished drawing of the banknote master tomorrow!
In fact, the real progress was faster than he had expected. In the evening, when night was about to fall, Liu Yidao personally carried the mother plate of the banknotes he had drawn up to Yunshan and personally handed it to Li Zexuan. "Young Master, all the patterns on the mother plate have been drawn. Tomorrow, I will begin to carve the seal you asked me to do!"
"So fast? Master Liu, you've worked hard! "
Li Zexuan took a small package from Liu Yidao and said in surprise.
Liu Yidao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "It's mainly because of the magnifying glass you asked Ink Girl to make, Marquis. It's really useful. With this thing, I can do twice the work with half the effort! Haha, I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, it will be completely dark in a while! "
Li Zexuan said with a smile, "Take care, Master Liu!"
…
The night in Yunshan was quiet.
It was past midnight, but there was still a room in the No.1 Courtyard that was still lit. It was the study room. Li Zexuan was carving in the study room at the moment!
In the evening, Liu Yidao sent the soft steel master with the finished Tang Yuan pattern. The rest was to carve grooves according to the lines drawn on the steel plate.
This was a delicate work. When the modern manual carvers were carving, they had to hold a magnifying glass in their left hand and a knife in their right hand. They had to concentrate on carving lines on the steel plate. If there was a mistake, all the work would be wasted. Someone had once calculated the points and lines on banknotes. A point needed to be carefully carved a few times, and a banknote meant that it needed to be carved a million times. If one didn't have the endurance and strong basic skills of ten years of practice, ordinary people would never be able to do this.
The reason why Li Zexuan wanted to carve by himself was mainly because this time he was carving on a steel plate. Although the steel plate was soft steel, it was still very hard. Liu Yidao definitely couldn't do it, so he had to do it himself!
At this moment, he was holding the tip of the Wind Chasing Sword three inches above it, and using the sword as a pen, he was concentrating on "painting" on the plate.
The Wind Chasing Sword could cut iron like mud. Facing soft steel, it was almost like cutting tofu. At this time, the master plate with fine lines in Li Zexuan's hand had been carved with many grooves, but it was still far from being completely carved. Because the patterns on it were too complicated, even with Li Zexuan's abnormal speed, it would take him a whole night to carve it!
