As soon as Zhao Yao came back from the north, he learned that Lian Daci was in a hurry to find him. He didn't have time to take a sip of tea, and hurried to the porcelain factory with Tongxi.

When Lian Daci saw Zhao Yao coming, he hurriedly greeted him. He saluted Zhao Yao first, and then said with a happy face: "Your Highness, the concave and convex mirror you want has been made." ”

Zhao Yao listened, and a smile of surprise appeared on his face: "Really? ”

Lian Da Ci said: "The villain didn't dare to deceive you, he really did it." ”

"Take me inside."

Lian Daci took out the finished concave and convex mirror and handed it to Zhao Yao with both hands.

"Your Highness, take a look, is it the concave and convex mirror you want?"

After Zhao Yao took it, he looked down and looked carefully, and found that the convex lens and the concave mirror were very clear.

"It's the concave mirror I want."

When Lian Daci heard Zhao Yao say this, he was completely relieved.

Zhao Yao looked at Lian Daci with admiration, and praised him without hesitation: "Good job, you have worked hard for this time." ”

was praised by Zhao Yao, and Lian Daci smiled: "Your Highness is serious." ”

"Now that you've made the concave and convex mirrors, let's make the magnifying glasses, glasses, and telescopes I mentioned earlier." Zhao Yao commanded again, "You can make several versions, the simple version, the medium version, and the gorgeous version. ”

Lian Da Porcelain commanded: "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Zhao Yao smiled and said: "It's not a few days before the New Year, if you make it before the New Year, I will have a heavy reward at that time." ”

As soon as he heard that there was a heavy reward, even Da Porcelain's face lit up, and he was immediately full of enthusiasm.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the little ones will definitely be made before the New Year."

"After you make these, you can rest for a while, and then you can start work after the Shangyuan Festival." Since Zhao Yao came to the Marsh Mansion, even the porcelain craftsmen of Da Porcelain have not been idle, and they have been busy until now. "Next year, you'll be busier, so take advantage of the Chinese New Year to rest."

"The little ones listen to Your Highness."

"By the way, there are still fewer craftsmen in the porcelain factory, I told you before, if you have friends you know, you can invite them to come to the Marsh Mansion, the treatment is not a problem." The current porcelain factory is still too small, and next year we plan to build a larger porcelain factory, and more craftsmen will be needed by then. Zhao Yao also prepared to buy some porcelain craftsmen from Siam, Annam, Johor and other countries. Although the skills of foreign porcelain craftsmen were far inferior to those of the Great Zhou, they could be taught slowly.

"Your Highness, the little ones have already written to their fellow villagers, and when the New Year is over, they will bring some people over." Even Da Porcelain disliked that there were too few craftsmen in the porcelain factory, and there were not enough at all.

"yes, that's great."

"Your Highness, even if a small fellow countryman comes, there are still not enough people." If nothing else, let's just say that it takes a lot of manpower to make glass now. "Your Highness, can the little ones recruit some apprentices?"

"Apprentice?" Zhao Yao was slightly surprised, and immediately asked, "You really plan to recruit apprentices, where do you recruit them?" ”

"Just find an apprentice in the swamp house." Lian Daci understood the reason why Zhao Yao was surprised, "Your Highness, recruiting apprentices is not looking for disciples. Of course, if you meet good seedlings, the small ones will be harvested. ”

"Since you're willing to take in apprentices, you'll see what to do." As soon as Zhao Yao finished speaking, he thought of the expansion of the porcelain factory next year, and his face was straight, "If there are more people next year, you have to take care of it, I don't want the formula of the things I make to fall out." ”

Even Da Porcelain's heart froze, and his face became very serious: "Your Highness, rest assured, the small one will definitely take care of the porcelain factory." ”

Regarding Lian Da porcelain's ability to do things, Zhao Yao is still assured. He explained a few more words, and then returned to the Han Palace. As soon as he got home, he was busy making the eye chart.

The concave and convex mirror is made, and it won't take long to make the glasses. Before prescribing glasses to He Lianfang, she had to test the degree of myopia of the second uncle.

After making an eye chart, Zhao Yao went to find He Lianfang.

He Lianfang is currently living in the Han Mansion with Zhao Yao, and has not moved out alone. Zhao Yao originally arranged a mansion for him, but He Lianfang felt that it was not necessary.

Seeing that Zhao Yao rarely came to him, He Lianfang was a little surprised: "Didn't you go to Beishan?" ”

"I've been back a long time ago." Zhao Yao said as he pasted the finished eye chart on the wall.

He Lianfang saw that a piece of paper pasted by Zhao Yao was full of strange symbols, and asked in surprise, "What is this?" ”

"I was talking about the eye chart." Zhao Yao pointed to the eyesight chart that had just been pasted, and introduced to He Lianfang, "Through it, I can probably know how myopic you are, Second Uncle, so that I can give you glasses." ”

He Lianfang heard Zhao Yao talk about glasses, "Glasses are made?" ”

"The concave and convex mirrors are made, and the glasses will be made in a few days."

He Lianfang hurriedly asked, "What about the clairvoyance you are talking about?" ”

"Of course it will be made."

He Lianfang had heard Zhao Yao talk about the magic of clairvoyance before. Now that he learned that the clairvoyant was about to come out, his heart was naturally full of anticipation.

"After you make it, show it to me, I want to see if it's as amazing as you say."

"Second uncle, don't worry, I will never let you down." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he walked behind He Lianfang and pushed his wheelchair back two feet. "Second uncle, you just sit here, and then look in the direction I pointed."

He Lianfang didn't quite understand what Zhao Yao meant, and asked with a puzzled face, "The direction you are pointing?" ”

"That's the direction of this E." Zhao Yao pointed to the largest E character at the bottom and said, "You see this is facing up, can you see it clearly?" ”

He Lianfang understood what Zhao Yao meant, nodded and said, "I can see it clearly." ”

"Okay, then I'll continue."

After testing, He Lianfang's myopia was roughly measured to be four or five hundred degrees. However, it is impossible to make four or five hundred degree glasses accurately. Now, I can only make a rough idea and let He Lianfang use it.

Lian Da Porcelain's movements were very fast, and on the second day he made a magnifying glass, glasses, and telescopes, but it was a simple version.

Zhao Yao tried the telescope, and the effect was not bad. Of course, it is much worse than the telescope of Zhao Yao's world in the dream. However, it is definitely enough to put it in Dazhou, because the range of this telescope is within 30 zhang.

He Lianfang couldn't believe that this small thing in her hand could see so far and it was very clear.

"It's clairvoyant."

"Second uncle, how is it, I didn't disappoint you."

"Nope." He Lianfang exclaimed, "This little thing will be a sharp weapon when used on the battlefield." ”

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I made it in order to use it on the battlefield." "The Xiongnu did not go south for the time being, but it does not mean that it will always be honest. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the Xiongnu and the Great Zhou, and then the clairvoyance will come in handy. "However, the range of clairvoyance that has been made now is still a little small." Thirty zhang looks very far away, but compared to the telescope of Zhao Yao's world in his dream, it is really much worse.

When He Lianfang heard Zhao Yao say this, a look of surprise appeared on her face: "This is almost thirty zhang away, is it still small?" ”

"It's small, my minimum requirement is 100 zhang."

"A hundred?" He Lianfang gasped in shock, and looked at Zhao Yao with a shocked face, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I didn't say anything fanciful." Zhao Yao said with a serious face, "A hundred zhang can still be made." He remembered that the distance of the first telescope made by Zhao Yao in that world in his dream was three hundred meters, almost one hundred zhang. Next year, let Lian Da porcelain improve them. ”

He Lianfang didn't dare to imagine what kind of earth-shattering effect the clairvoyance in her hand would bring on the battlefield if she could really see a distance of a hundred zhang as Zhao Yao said.

"Can you really make a hundred?" He Lianfang didn't notice that her tone of voice trembled a little.

"100 zhang is the minimum requirement." Zhao Yao said, "In the future, maybe you can make two hundred zhang, three hundred zhang, and five hundred zhang is not impossible." ”

"Don't think about five hundred zhang, you can make one hundred zhang." He Lianfang didn't dare to ask for five hundred zhang, and one hundred zhang was completely enough on the battlefield.

"Make a hundred zhang first."

He Lianfang suddenly thought of something, and her expression became very solemn for a moment.

"Do you need to do business with this clairvoyant?"

Zhao Yao knew He Lianfang's intention to ask. He deliberately teased He Lianfang and said: "Sell, of course sell, this is a big baby, even if I sell a thousand gold, someone will rush to sell it." ”

He Lianfang said in a solemn tone: "It can't be sold, this is a sharp weapon on the battlefield, if it is sold among the people, it will become a sharp weapon against us when it is sold to the Huns." ”

"Second uncle, I'm kidding you, how can I take it out and sell it." What he said just now was not wrong, if he really wanted to sell clairvoyance, even if he offered a sky-high price, someone would rush to buy it. "When I make a hundred zhang, I will send some to my father, so that my father can distribute them to the generals in the major military camps."

"It's good if you don't sell it." He Lianfang thought that this clairvoyant couldn't be cheaper than the emperor, so she hurriedly added, "You can sell it to the imperial court for a thousand gold." ”

"Second uncle, you are letting me pit the court's money."

"The imperial court is not short of money now." Zhao Zheng can't be cheap for nothing.

"Forget it, I'm not short of the money." Zhao Yao picked up the glasses on the side and handed them to He Lianfang, "Second uncle, try these glasses quickly and see if it works." After speaking, he directly put on glasses for He Lianfang.

He Lianfang only felt dizzy in front of him, and Zhao Yao told him that this was a normal reaction and asked him to wear it for a while to get used to it. Sure enough, after a while, He Lianfang didn't feel dizzy anymore.

Zhao Yao opened a book and asked He Lianfang to read it.

He Lianfang found that after putting on her glasses, she could read books more clearly than before, and she didn't have to work as hard as before.

Zhao Yao asked He Lianfang to wear glasses, and then measured his eyesight. Sure enough, the prescription of this pair of glasses is not high, about more than 300 degrees. He asked He Lianfang to make do with this pair of glasses first, and then change them for him after they made high-level glasses.

He Lianfang didn't feel the need to change.

Zhao Yao remembered that Mr. Xiao's eyes didn't seem to be very good, so he took his glasses and an eye chart to find them.

After Mr. Xiao put on his glasses, he exclaimed that this was a good thing, too useful for them.

Zhao Yao put the eye chart on Mr. Xiao's office and asked them to test it first, and then give them glasses one by one.

In Mr. Xiao's office, Zhao Yao drank tea and listened to Mr. Xiao's report.

Since Mr. Xiao took over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has been busy like a spinning top all day long. In addition to being busy with next year's imperial examinations, they are also busy preparing for next year's trade conference, as well as sorting out etiquette rules.

Lingnan has been a place of exile since ancient times, and it is not only barbaric, but also very rude and rude. It is still exaggerated to describe rudeness and rudeness, to be precise, barbaric, and there are no rules of etiquette at all.

Mr. Xiao and his group of old gentlemen couldn't see that there were no etiquette rules here, so they proposed to Zhao Yao to fix the etiquette rules.

"Your Highness, when will the construction of the free school begin?" Mr. Xiao, they can't wait, and they can't wait to go to the free school to teach after the New Year.

"Wait until the trade conference is over." Zhao Yao also understood Mr. Xiao's eagerness, "In the first half of next year, the trade conference will be the mainstay, and other things will be in the back row, and the free school will be built in the second half of the year." If you act quickly, you can build a school in more than a month. ”

Mr. Xiao knew in his heart the importance of next year's trade conference, "Your Highness, there is a Guozijian in the capital, should we establish a Guozijian in the Swamp Mansion?" ”

"Guozijian?" Zhao Yao felt that Mr. Xiao's proposal was good, but it was not suitable for the current Lingnan, "Sir, there is no hurry to establish Guozijian, after all, there is no one studying now." When there are more people studying in the future, it will not be too late to build the country. ”

Mr. Xiao didn't think of this, "It's still Your Highness's thoughtfulness." ”

"Sir, I have to remind you again that even if I create a free school in the second half of next year, it is estimated that not many people will come to study." For the people of the current swamp province, it is most important to fill their stomachs and wear warm clothes. Reading is not a must-do for them.

"Your Highness, you told me before, we are mentally prepared." Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "Just like you said before, let the people of Lingnan be willing to read slowly." ”

"When the people of the swamp house no longer worry about having enough to eat every day, they will be willing to study." Zhao Yao said, "If next year's trade conference goes smoothly, the people of Marsh Province will be able to live a good life." ”

Mr. Xiao listened, with a hesitant look on his face.

"Your Highness, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Sir, have something to say."

Mr. Xiao did not hesitate any longer, "Your Highness, Shinong Industry and Commerce, if you attach too much importance to business, is it not appropriate?" ”

"Sir, do you think it's inappropriate for me to hold a trade conference?"

"No, the minister understands the purpose of His Highness's trade conference, but the minister thinks that attaching too much importance to business will make the people only think about doing business and making money, and not about farming." In the hearts of Mr. Xiao and his group of Confucian students, agriculture is the foundation of the country and cannot be shaken.

"Sir, in my heart, Shinong and industry are all equally important, and there is no one more important." Zhao Yao has always disliked the Confucian ranking of Shinong Industry and Commerce, "Shinong Industry and Commerce are indispensable, if you want to build the Marsh Mansion and even the whole of Lingnan well, you must do a good job of business, because commerce can attract foreigners to come to us to do business, let them send us their good things there, and let them give us real money." ”

"Your Highness, if the people see that merchants can make a lot of money, who else wants to grow food?" Mr. Xiao is worried that after the people make money in business, they will not have the heart to grow food again, because farming will not make money at all compared to doing business.

"Don't worry, sir, I won't let this happen." The Great Zhou Dynasty was too heavy on agriculture and suppressed commerce, resulting in the underdevelopment of commerce in the whole country. He held a trade conference to let the civil and military officials of the imperial court see that commerce could bring staggering wealth to the Great Zhou.

Something happened yesterday, and I didn't have time to update the code word. There are two more chapters today.,Make up for what wasn't changed yesterday.。 There is a change later.

In the end, I was cheeky enough to ask for a monthly pass!!
