After commenting on the first painting with great interest, Master Xie pointed to the second painting impatiently.
"Look at this one again. It's afternoon, the sun is shining, farmers are harvesting in the fields, and children are running and laughing."
"To have enough food and warm clothes, to have someone to rely on for the young and someone to depend on for the old is the wish of all the people."
"The painting clearly points out the people's wishes and the direction of victory. Only in this way can Longhua enjoy peace and prosperity."
Long Jingyuan's eyes were full of praise: "Well, not bad!"
Although the emperor did not point out what was good, everyone already understood that Young Master Su had caught the emperor's eye.
At this moment, several ministers dared not question it any more, and even the Prime Minister of Chu kept his mouth shut.
Master Xie nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the painting and continued:
"Also, I wonder if Your Majesty has noticed these things that look like carriage wheels by the small river at the foot of the mountain. They are very magical. They are not operated by humans, but they can bring water from the river to higher places to supply the farmland."
"There are more mountains and forests in Longhua country than plains. If this thing really exists in the world, the amount of crops in our country will be greatly increased."
After a pause to give everyone time to digest the information, he continued with some excitement:
"Whether this thing can really be made or not, Young Master Su's intention is clear."
"Food is a necessity for the people, a strategic resource for the country, and the cornerstone of a country.
It is also the most scarce commodity in Longhua, and the most pressing issue that Longhua should address.”
Long Jingyuan's fingers gently slid across the windmill in the painting, his eyes looking somewhat deep and mysterious: "It is indeed magical."
The first time he saw the young man, he felt that he was no ordinary person.
I didn't expect it to be so complicated.
Master Xie pointed to the next one with some excitement: "And this one, the sky, white clouds, the endless sea, and the boat."
"Although the painting is simple, it has a natural charm. The ship is huge, like a multi-story tower. It is unique in craftsmanship and is something I have never seen before."
"Seeing this painting, I suddenly realized a truth: water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Only by following the will of the people can we ride the wind and waves and move forward."
"The person who painted this must be very insightful and wise. His vision is profound and his mind is broad. I really admire him!"
“Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it?”
Long Jingyuan muttered to himself, his face showing more appreciation, and even a rare smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, it is true."
Satisfied with the emperor's approval, Master Xie continued his explanation.
"The fourth picture shows the city wall. It is not just around the city, but stretches along the mountain peaks to the endless distance."
"It's amazing. I never thought that this city wall could be built on top of a mountain."
With a sigh, Master Xie pointed to a certain spot in the painting:
"Look at the city wall again. There is a tall tower a short distance away. I guess it is a tower used to send signals or to observe the enemy from afar.
Because the thing on this gap is not like the crossbow below, it looks more like an object used for observation. "
If Su Qiao were here, he would definitely applaud.
What is mounted on the observation deck is indeed a high-power telescope.
Long Jingyuan bent down and examined it carefully: "Well, this thing is indeed strange."
Master Xie suddenly pointed to the city wall below with some excitement:
“Your Majesty, please take a closer look. The crossbows he drew are large and small, and their shapes are very strange. The most important thing is that they can fire multiple arrows at the same time.
I counted them and found that the most arrows were as many as ten."
Currently, Longhua, Yan, Dongchuan and Xilin are four countries in a tripartite confrontation. Although the situation is not tense, the monarchs of each country are ambitious people, and there will be a war in the future.
