"This ......"

Guo An couldn't help frowning slightly.

After a while, my eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, don't worry, Weichen asked the glass workshop to make a few more pairs of reading glasses, and he will definitely let those great Confucians be favored by His Highness, even if they don't come, His Highness can also bring a few disciples of those great Confucian disciples."

Zhu Di looked overjoyed, and then asked with a puzzled face: "What are the reading glasses that Guo Qing said?" ”

"This ......"

Guo An frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, reading glasses should be regarded as an upgraded version of the reading glasses!" ”

"Mirror?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face was happy, and there was a pair of mirrors in the palace of Yingtiancheng, which was made of East China Sea crystal, which was Lao Zhu's treasure.

In this era, many Confucians or elderly people will have dizzy eyes, and when they read books, especially when the sky is dark, they simply look down on the small words on books.

Therefore, there are craftsmen who polish the convex lens lens with exquisite crystal or transparent glass, and then hold it in their hands to read the book, which is regarded as a magnifying glass.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, the mirror was known by many Confucians.

It's just that the design and process of this kind of mirror are not valuable, and what is valuable is the crystal used to polish the mirror.

Therefore, even if many people know that there is such a thing as a mirror, it is still a luxury.

"If Guo Qing can really come up with a better object than the mirror, maybe he can really find a few great Confucians for our Yan Palace."

Guo An said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, Weichen will draw pictures, and the craftsmen who are looking for glass workshops will make a few first." ”

After speaking, Guo An got up and said goodbye to Zhu Di, and then walked briskly to the public house.

Inside the temple.

Zhu Di and Xu Xiang were left, Xu Xiang smiled, and asked Zhu Di for instructions: "Your Highness, what to do with the hundreds of Japanese prisoners captured by the last general?" ”

"It's just as good as ever."

At this time, Zhu Di's mind was full of the affairs of the academy, and he didn't care about the more than 100 Japanese prisoners.

"The last will obey." Xu Xiang replied with a happy face.

Seeing that Xu Xiang's expression was a little obscene, Zhu Di glared at him with disgust, and said again: "These Japanese prisoners don't have to be too quiet, just deal with them quietly." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Xu Xiang replied again.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Tomorrow, we will send the reward silver to you." Now that you have nothing to do, you step back and take care of the Japanese captives.

In addition, he ordered us to keep the news of the incendiary bombs to us, and no one was allowed to reveal the slightest thing to the outside. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the last general will retire now."

Xu Xiang retired very interestingly.

After a while, only Zhu Di was left in the heart hall.

Zhu Di sat on the throne, and after thinking for a moment, he shouted: "Ma He." ”

"Your Highness?" Ma He hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Zhu Di said leisurely: "Go and invite Zhu Changshi, and then invite Master Daoyan." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Ma He didn't ask much, and walked out quickly.

Soon, Zhu Fu and Daoyan monks walked in one after another.

After Zhu Di gave the seat, he then talked about the construction of the academy.

Yanwangfu is very wealthy, which is known to everyone in Beiping Mansion.

Therefore, Zhu Fu and Monk Daoyan agreed very much.

As for hearing that Zhu Di was going to use the reading glasses improved by the Mirror to lure a few Confucians to come, Zhu Fu and Monk Daoyan both shook their heads slowly.

"Your Highness, now those great Confucians are either in Beijing or living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and they will not come out easily.

As for the improved reading glasses? ……

Forgive the monk for being rude, and the terrible can't move the hearts of those great Confucians. ”

A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "If we invite Master Daoyan to invite, I wonder if Master Dao Yan can invite a few great Confucians?" ”

Monk Daoyan sighed slightly and replied, "The monk can only try his best. ”

Zhu Di turned his head and looked at Zhu Fu.

Zhu Fu directly shook his head with a wry smile on his face, "Your Highness forgives your sins, Weichen doesn't know a great Confucian, let alone invite in advance." ”

Zhu Di sighed lightly, a little helpless, "If there is not even a single Confucian in the academy we founded, wouldn't that make the world laugh?" ”

Zhu Fu's face was also stunned, and then he remembered something, and hurriedly said, "Why didn't Your Highness let Guo Changshi invite someone?" ”

Zhu Di was stunned, "Which Confucianism does Guo Qing know?" ”

Zhu Fu said helplessly: "Your Highness, Guo Changshi doesn't know Confucianism, but Guo Changshi is a descendant of Guo Taishi in the former Yuan Dynasty, and his father must know some hidden Confucians.

Moreover, Guo Changshi has just married the daughter of the Liu family, the Liu family is the descendant of the king of Changshan in the former Yuan, and the Liu family still has some prestige among the northern scholars, and although Liu Huiyuan, the head of the Liu family, is not famous, he is also a great Confucian. ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened suddenly, "If it weren't for Zhu Qing's reminder, we wouldn't have thought that Guo Qing would still have such a heel." ”

Zhu Fu replied with an honest face, "Your Highness is busy with affairs, and it is normal to think of these trivial things. ”

On the side, Monk Daoyan took a deep look at the honest man Zhu Fu.

So far, Zhu Di has not continued to talk about the academy.

……

The other side.

Guo An was very busy, and after going back, he drilled in the public house, hastily drew a few pictures, and it was already time to disperse.

When I got home, I was still thinking about reading glasses from time to time.

Following.

When he came to the palace, he picked up the drawings and revised them for a while, then took a few palace guards and hurriedly ran to the glass workshop.

I stayed in the glass workshop for a long time, and then went to the gunpowder workshop for half a day, and discussed some firearms and gunpowder matters with Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, such as adding some sucrose to gunpowder, or making a bomb with a handle......

made Tao Yiping and Yang Ting full of anger.

Then, before the dispersal value, he hurried back to the palace again.

And Zhu Di never sent anyone to look for Guo An.

After a few more days, Guo An went to the glass workshop again.

Fortunately, the craftsmen in the glass workshop did not disappoint Guo An, and when Guo An returned to Yanwang's Mansion, he was holding a beautiful box in his hand.

And Zhu Di seemed to have heard the news a long time ago, and Guo An saw Zhu Di's figure flashing in front of the window of the main hall from afar.

Guo An was a little puzzled and said, "Ma He, can you see the person who stood in front of the glass in the hall just now and peeked at us?" How do we look at it, do we think it looks like His Highness? ”

Ma He's body trembled, and he said with some trepidation: "Guo Changshi, don't say that, how can Your Highness stand in front of the window and peek at others?" ”

Guo An nodded in agreement, "That's true, Your Highness should be standing in front of the window and looking at it openly." ”

Ma He's face turned pale and he didn't dare to talk again.

Guo An didn't continue to tease Ma He, and continued to walk forward.

Entering the Cunxin Palace, Guo An respectfully saluted Zhu Di.

"Wechen see His Highness!"

"Guo Qing, hurry up and excuse me."

Zhu Di looked directly at the two delicate small wooden boxes that Ma He was carrying in his hands with an expectant expression, and asked, "What is in this box is the reading glasses that Guo Qing said?" ”

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

And at this time, Ma He had already put the small wooden box in his hand on the table in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di opened it directly, and his eyes lit up directly.

Inside the wooden box, eight pieces of transparent glass are neatly arranged.

Only, strangely enough, every two pieces of clear glass were hooped with iron sheets, and under the glass there were shelves made of wooden sticks.

Zhu Di carefully picked up one, swung it a few times, and then looked at Guo An, "Guo Qing, how is this thing used?" ”

Guo An also picked up a pair of glasses, put them on his head and demonstrated, and quickly took them off.

His eyes are not nearsighted or presbyopia, and wearing these glasses is very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Zhu Di also subconsciously put the pair of glasses in his hand on his head.

Immediately, the whole person was dizzy, and hurriedly held the table with his hand.

"Your Highness, be careful."

On the side, Ma Heyan was quick and hurriedly supported Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, take off your glasses quickly." Guo An said helplessly.

Zhu Di took off his glasses as he said, but there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Just two glass mirrors, why do they make us dizzy?"

Guo An replied: "That's because His Highness doesn't have eye disease, and it is too late to wear these glasses, so he will naturally not be adaptable." ”

Zhu Di asked curiously: "Those great Confucians will adapt to wearing these glasses?" ”

Guo An explained: "Your Highness, Weichen doesn't know how deep the eye diseases of those great Confucians are, so they need to use these glasses to try one by one to see which pair they are suitable for." ”

"Huh?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Di's eyes again, he looked down at the other three pairs of glasses in the wooden box, and asked, "These four pairs of glasses are still different?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, they all look the same, but in fact, the glass lenses on these glasses are not the same. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Di picked them up one by one and compared them, and finally understood that the thickness of those reading glasses lenses was really different.

"Then how is Guo Qing going to use these reading glasses to invite those Confucians?" Zhu Di asked.

"Your Highness, don't worry."

Guo An smiled slowly and said, "I wonder if Your Highness wants to try the effect of reading glasses?" ”

Zhu Di hurriedly asked, "What can Guo Qing do?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, Weichen remembers that Zhu Changshi's age is also a little old. ”

"Zhu Qing?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and he instructed Ma He on the side: "Hurry up and invite Zhu Qing to come here." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ma He answered, and walked out quickly.

To be honest, he would also be very greedy for the reading glasses brought by Guo Changshi. It's a pity that he is just a lowly chamberlain, and he doesn't dare to look at it at all.

When Zhu Fu heard Zhu Di summon him to try it, Zhu Fu directly threw down the documents in his hand and walked quickly to the Cunxin Palace.

"Wechen see His Highness."

"Zhu Qing, come here."

Zhu Di greeted with enthusiasm on his face.

"Yes, Your Highness."

In fact, as early as when Zhu Fu came in, a pair of eyes were already staring at the small wooden box on Zhu Di's desk with curiosity.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Di's words fell, Zhu Fu hurriedly walked up.

When I saw the four pairs of glasses in the box, my eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, this thing is the reading glasses?"

"Exactly."

Zhu Di nodded slightly, urging: "Zhu Qing bring a pair and give it a try." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhu Fu was not polite, he took out a pair of glasses casually, but after fiddling with it for a while, he looked at Zhu Di and Guo An with embarrassed faces.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, how can this thing be used?"

"Zhu Changshi, please look, reading glasses need to be used like this."

Guo An tried again.

"I see."

Seeing this, Zhu Fu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put the pair of reading glasses in his hand on his eyes.

Then, he looked at the books on the table in front of him.

"This?"

Zhu Fu's eyes widened directly.
