In Zhong Hao's opinion, in addition to being useful for the army, this clairvoyance can probably only be used as a rare thing for other officials, gentry and ordinary people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But glasses are really useful. Many literati in this era were short-sighted, and there must be a great demand for glasses that can improve their eyesight.

In addition to oil lamps, the lighting at night in this era was candles. The candle is better, it can be slightly brighter, although it is used to read at night, it will inevitably hurt the eyes, but compared to the degree of the oil lamp lighting hurting the eyes, it is naturally worse. However, candles are not cheap in this era, and most people still rely on oil lamps for lighting at night.

When many literati from poor families were studying, most of them could only rely on the cold window of the bean-like light of the oil lamp at night, so there were definitely not a few who burned their eyes.

With so many literati in Tokyo having poor eyesight, if they were to create glasses that would restore their eyes to normal vision, it would be a great success.

Of course, in addition to myopia glasses, these reading glasses are also to be made. Those who are old, those officials, scribes, etc., must have a lot of presbyopia, and these reading glasses must also be popular.

Whether it is myopic glasses or reading glasses, it is natural to take the high-end route at the beginning, and Zhong Hao feels that he will definitely make a lot of money.

The difference between myopia glasses and reading glasses is nothing more than a concave lens and a convex lens, and there is nothing particularly troublesome. These myopic glasses and reading glasses are the same as clairvoyance, but they are the same thing, and in one workshop, there is no need to train other craftsmen.

Pan Xu listened to Zhong Hao's words and couldn't help asking, "What are glasses?" ”

At that moment, Zhong Hao said its function, as for its principle, Zhong Hao did not elaborate for the time being, but said that it was similar to the principle of clairvoyance, that is, the principle of using lens imaging. Of course, even if he told Pan Xu about this principle in detail, he was afraid that he would not understand it.

However, as soon as Zhong Hao said this, Shen Kuo could generally understand, and smiled at his second brother-in-law at the moment: "These glasses are guaranteed to be more profitable than that clairvoyance." ”

Pan Xu was very happy to hear his brother-in-law say this. His new brother-in-law is quite accomplished in the development of this thing, since he thinks that the glasses in Zhong Hao's mouth are quite promising, the prospect of this thing should be good.

At that moment, Pan Xu said that he would sign a contract with Zhong Hao, and the matter of cooperation was set.

Zhong Hao said with a smile: "Since we have decided this matter today, we will naturally make up our minds." This contract is not needed, the little brother can trust Brother Xichen! "The spirit of the Song people's contract is very heavy, and Pan Xu, who is a gentleman in Tokyo City, is even more good-looking, Zhong Hao is naturally not afraid that what he decided in front of so many people will happen in the future.

However, Pan Xu smiled and said, "Our brothers are naturally trustworthy. However, the so-called 'people's hearts have no evidence, and the contract is proof', although we can trust it, but no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Maybe our business will be passed on to future generations, so it's better to make a contract. Although we are friends, it is difficult to guarantee the future. Write this matter clearly, and save the time when both sides are not at ease, and also save in case if this can be passed on to the juniors, so that the juniors have a senseless dispute. ”

Zhong Hao said in his heart: Good guy, you have thought far enough, and you want to pass it on to future generations.

However, although Zhong Hao was a little unimpressed, he also knew that Pan Xu did this to reassure himself, after all, he belonged to the weak side. If you tell him the technology, he won't give him a profit in the future, and if there is no contract, there is really nothing he can do with him. After all, as he said, 'the people's hearts have no evidence, and the deeds are proof', sometimes the people's hearts are unreliable in the face of huge interests.

Besides, as he said, they may be able to maintain their friendship, but if it is passed on to future generations, it is still a contract insurance point. Although Zhong Hao has never been married and has never thought about his children and grandchildren, it has only been a matter of twenty years. Twenty years later, it will probably be time for his children to start a family. Not too long.

In that case, let's sign a contract. At that moment, Zhong Hao and Pan Xu signed the contract of cooperating in opening glasses and making money in the clairvoyance workshop at this banquet!

It just so happened that Yang Huaiyu, Xu Feng, and Shen Kuo were present today, and by the way, the three of them became Chinese, and they signed their names on the contract before.

After signing the contract, Pan Xu was overjoyed, shouting and drinking with everyone to celebrate.

However, Zhong Hao did not forget to tell Pan Xu that he must keep this technology secret, which is the basis for them to make money. In this technique, the glasses are still close, and the clairvoyance must be kept secret.

The technique of this clairvoyant is in his own hands, even if some of that clairvoyance flows into the Khitan and Western Xia, it will not be a big problem, after all, it is only a few. But if this technology is passed on, I am afraid that the armies of Khitan and Western Xia will definitely be equipped with a large number of these things.

Originally, Zhong Hao planned to give priority to the Great Song Army after this clairvoyant was mass-produced! At that time, whether the Great Song Dynasty army was arranging troops during the Great War or sending scouts to sentry, it would be able to benefit greatly from this clairvoyance.

But if the Western Xia and Khitan armies also had this thing, these advantages would be gone.

Therefore, Zhong Hao asked Pan Xu to keep the clairvoyant's technology secret, this is not only a matter involving them making money, but also a matter that has an impact on the Great Song Army.

Pan Xu patted his chest and promised that he would keep it strictly confidential. He plans to pass on such a business to future generations, so he will naturally be interested. At that time, the craftsmen in the glasses workshop will all use the children of the Pan family, and if anyone dares to leak secrets, he will definitely not know the concoction of this kid.

With Pan Xu's words, Zhong Hao was at ease.

Zhong Hao suddenly remembered at this time that his dispatch was a young eunuch who would be a prisoner!

At that time, it seems that they can use their position to order this clairvoyance for the army from their glasses workshop?!

However, Zhong Hao also thought about it, he was just a newcomer now, even if he was a young eunuch who would be a prisoner, he was far from being qualified to decide whose workshop to order. Let's wait until he has been in prison for a few years!

However, Zhong Hao immediately thought about it, he couldn't make the main order, but he could recommend it, but he had a good relationship with the judge as a supervisor, which could still be done. Besides, if the Great Song army was equipped with this thing, there would be nowhere else to buy it except their workshop. That's the benefit of an exclusive monopoly!

At that moment, Zhong Hao told Pan Xu what he thought.

Pan Xu was naturally overjoyed, and couldn't help but value Zhong Hao a little more.

Since they are partners, Zhong Hao will no longer refuse Pan Xu's gift of house. It's a big deal that the glasses workshop will make money at that time, so naturally give him some of the money as money to buy his house.

Yang Huaiyu and Xu Feng naturally congratulated Zhong Hao on having a house and a profitable business.

Everyone is a young person, and at this time, the smell is similar, so it is natural to indulge in drinking and having fun until the end of the fun.

………………

The second day was the day when Shen Kuo and his wife left Beijing and returned to their hometown.

Outside the Nanxun Gate, Zhong Hao, Xu Feng and others sent Shen Kuo to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion and said goodbye to Shen Kuo!

After that, Zhong Hao turned down Pan Xu's invitation for a few of them to have fun together, and took a carriage to Yongfeng Fang near Xishuimen.

Today he was going to visit his brother-in-law, Feng Sanyuan.

Zhong Hao's brother-in-law is resting today, and yesterday he specially asked Zhong Hao to come over today, wanting to have a good chat with him, and by the way, he agreed with him about his marriage and Fu Ruolan and other matters.

Zhong Hao's father-in-law, Fu Bi, served in the Hedong Shuai Division, so naturally he couldn't leave his post and return to Beijing for the sake of his children's marriage. And Zhong Hao's brother-in-law, Fu Shaoting, is also an official outside. And his eldest son-in-law Feng Jing's family happens to be in Tokyo, so Fu Ruozhu's marriage is naturally handled by his sister and brother-in-law.

Of course, Fu Ruozhu's mother Yan will also come to Tokyo to help manage her second daughter's wedding. When Zhong Hao's father-in-law wrote a letter a while ago, he heard his father-in-law say in the letter that he would send someone to send Fu Ruozhu into Beijing, and go to Luoyang, Xijing, to pick up Fu Ruozhu's mother to come to Tokyo.

Feng Jing is now temporarily living in Zhong Hao's father-in-law's house, but Zhong Hao estimates that he should also buy a house soon.

In the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to some series of glory, the champion also has a very good preferential treatment for officials, that is, he only needs to be released for one term, as long as there are no major problems during this period, he can be recalled to the capital to serve as a museum officer, and then he will not go to the place again, and then his career will stride forward towards the road of Zaifu.

In the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty, those who won the top prize, except for those who are too incompetent or too incompetent to be officials, seventy or eighty percent of them can achieve the level of senior officials at the level of Zaifu.

That's why so many people care about this title. When Zhong Hao was "Xiao Chuanlu" that day, he just came out a little late, and he was misunderstood that he was named the champion, and everyone looked at him with envy, jealousy and hatred.

Zhong Hao's brother-in-law won the title of the Chou Branch in the first year of Huang You, and sentenced him to the Jingnan Military Government as a prisoner. Most of the young officials who entered Jixian Academy were trained towards Zaifu.

Since Zhong Hao's brother-in-law will not be released, he naturally needs to buy a house. Zhong Hao felt that if he didn't have a family in the house, he could give it to his brother-in-law. In the future, maybe I will have to let this very promising brother-in-law take care of it, so it's good to show it in advance.

Although Zhong Hao has the title of being a young eunuch, like other new science and technology scholars, he must be released for one term, and there will be no exceptions to this. Even Feng Jing, the champion of the three yuan in the company, needs to go to the local area for a term, and naturally there are few exceptions. Zhong Hao felt that he was a young eunuch, although his rank was slightly higher than that of the prisoner, but it was probably similar to his dispatch from outside, and it was estimated that he was also sentenced to a certain state or a certain army.

The house that Pan Xu gave him was also used when he got married. Zhong Hao felt that when he came to Tokyo again in the future, his level would also go up, and Yulu would naturally rise. Moreover, the glasses workshop that he partnered with Pan Xu has also made a lot of money, so he naturally has to change to a big house.

Of course, Zhong Hao thought so. My brother-in-law is a very good potential stock, I'm afraid I don't know how many people want to befriend him, and I hope to invest in him like myself!

This is why he has just returned to Tokyo, and I am afraid that it will not be long before there are many people who will send him silver and houses.

Thinking wildly along the way, he soon arrived at Yongfengfang's own Taishan old man's house. Like Ouyang Xiu's house, his Taishan father-in-law's house was also built near the Bianhe River, but the scale of the mansion was much smaller than Ouyang Xiu's house.

It seems that people say that his father-in-law is a humble gentleman and a very upright person, which is still reasonable. His father-in-law has also been a ruling person, compared to Ouyang Xiu, who used to be a Taiwan official, and now he is now a pavilion official in the history museum, if his father-in-law wants to get some oil and water, I am afraid it will be much easier.

But seeing that his father-in-law's house is far inferior to Ouyang Xiu's house, which is also known for his integrity, Zhong Hao feels that his father-in-law's evaluation is very upright, which is really not false.

Of course, in fact, even if you want to buy a better house just because of your rich father-in-law, I am afraid that it will be completely purchased. The Great Song Dynasty pursued a policy of high salaries and incorruptible support, and officials like his father-in-law, Fu Bi, who achieved the rank of minister, had a very high salary. The scattered officials, official officials, pavilion officials, and dispatches of the Great Song Dynasty, plus the titles, all have their own merits.

An official of the level of his father-in-law, Fu Bi, has a loose official, a senior official, a pavilion official, a dispatch and a knighthood, each level is quite high, and this item adds up, I am afraid that there are as many as five or six thousand yuan per year, but it is enough for his legal Yulu to buy a better house. The high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty actually lived a generally prosperous life, like their father-in-law Fu Bi, I am afraid that it is really not. It seems that his father-in-law really doesn't care much about things like the glamour of the house.

Of course, with Zhong Hao's understanding of his father-in-law, his father-in-law is not the kind of person who has to be self-conscious, maybe he cares more about inner enjoyment than about those things that have nothing to show for themselves.

Zhong Hao got out of the carriage at the door of the rich mansion, bought a few pieces of inkstone and a knife of good rice paper on the road, and came to the gatehouse. Zhong Hao felt that it was all his own family, and there was no need to get too many gifts, so he brought some stationery supplies that his brother-in-law could use and explained to him.

The doorman of Fufu heard from the eldest aunt today, saying that the second aunt was coming to visit, because he saw a personable young man coming over with some gifts, and he greeted him very warmly. After asking, it was the second aunt in his own house, who immediately led Zhong Hao into the house, and another disciple quickly went to the house to report.
