"How strange is this?"

Under this attempt, Nie Zishi seemed to have discovered a new world, and he was reluctant to take it down.

Seeing Nie Zishi's appearance of the baby in the reading glasses, Guo An couldn't help but look surprised, "Uncle Nie is actually a little dizzy?" ”

Nie Zishi is not very old, just forty years old.

"Alas......"

Nie Zishi sighed heavily, "The old man has also heard those elders or great Confucian sayings before, after they are old, their eyes are dizzy and they can't read carefully.

The old man thought that this eye disease would come to the old man for more than ten years, but what the old man didn't expect was that after wearing reading glasses, the words on the books in front of him suddenly became much clearer, and even the hair on his hands could be distinguished......

The old man never thought that one day, the old man's eyes would be able to see so clearly. ”

I didn't expect to give a random gift, and I really bumped into a person with presbyopia.

Guo Anxin was happy, but he still said seriously: "This reading glasses is good for Uncle Nie." ”

In fact, what Guo An didn't know was that in this era, due to the general dimness of the light in the house, many scholars of Nie Zishi's age would have presbyopia.

Even, those old farmers who farm will have presbyopia one by one.

It's just that these old farmers, or elderly readers, have not experienced reading glasses, and they don't know that they have presbyopia.

"Useful, useful......"

Nie Zishi said hurriedly, and then looked at the remaining five pairs of reading glasses in the wooden box.

"Ning Yi, I don't know if this is reading glasses left? ……”

Guo An said: "Uncle Nie, these reading glasses are all reading glasses of different powers, and they have to correspond to glasses with different degrees of presbyopia.

These reading glasses are all given by Guo An to Uncle Nie's reading glasses, and when Uncle Nie's eye disease worsens a few years later, he can be interviewed and worn in these reading glasses one by one.

Of course, there are only six pairs of reading glasses of different degrees, if these six pairs are not suitable for Uncle Nie, Uncle Nie needs to find the little nephew, and the little nephew will remake suitable reading glasses for Uncle Nie according to the severity of Uncle Nie's eye disease. ”

Nie Zishi looked moved, "Thank you Ning Yi." ”

Guo An smiled slowly, "Uncle Nie is a little out of sight. ”

Nie Zishi laughed, "Hahaha, it's the old man who is excited." ”

As he spoke, Nie Zishi seemed to remember something, so he asked again: "Ning Yi, are these reading glasses expensive?" ”

Guo An replied with a smile: "It shouldn't be too expensive." ”

Nie Zishi couldn't help but look puzzled.

Guo An explained: "These reading glasses are just made by the Yanwangfu glass workshop, and they have not yet started to be priced.

And now in the entire Beiping Mansion, there is only this pair in the hands of Uncle Nie. ”

Nie Zishi was surprised: "It's so precious? ”

"Uncle Nie, don't be surprised, it's just a gadget, it's not precious at all."

Guo An smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Nie also knows, because His Royal Highness King Yan has opened a craftsman school.

Therefore, in the Beiping Mansion, and even in the Jingshi, there are many officials and Confucians who think that His Royal Highness King Yan is not doing his job all day long and is addicted to strange and skillful craftsmen.

Even, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally inquired.

In desperation, His Royal Highness King Yan could only build an academy.

It's just that the academy can be built with some money, and even the books on the library of the academy can be bought with some money, and now the gentry and merchants in Beiping Mansion have also donated at least more than 10,000 classics to Yanwangfu......

According to this trend, when the academy is built, the academy built by His Royal Highness King Yan will be able to donate or buy at least 20,000 or 30,000 classics from all over the world......

However, it is difficult to find a master or a great Confucian who is suitable for lecturing at the academy......

And these reading glasses were made by the little nephew and invited those great Confucians to come as gifts......"

"I see."

Nie Zishi looked at Guo An thoughtfully, "Don't you kid also want the old man to invite a few Confucians to the academy?" ”

Guo An nodded directly, "If Uncle Nie can invite a few great Confucians, it would be great."

In the imperial examination, our northern scholars are not as good as the southern scholars, and we also need to change......"

Nie Zishi's face stiffened, and he smiled bitterly: "The old man knows the great Confucian, or some erudite people, your father and your father-in-law know each other. ”

Guo An said: "The kid also sent six reading glasses to each of his father and father-in-law, as well as some glass tea sets. ”

"Six? Each one is six pairs of reading glasses? ”

Nie Zishi asked in some surprise.

"Of course not."

Guo An shook his head slowly, "Except for my father and father-in-law, who both have six pairs of reading glasses, there is only one pair of the other ten reading glasses." ”

Nie Zishi directly shook his head and scolded with a smile: "You kid is really a ghost." ”

Guo An said helplessly: "Uncle Nie Mingjian, I can't complain about my little nephew in this matter, and it is not easy to make these reading glasses."

Moreover, the little nephew doesn't know what the degree of eye disease of those big Confucians is, only by letting them come, the little nephew can formulate the most suitable reading glasses power for them according to the degree of dizziness of those big Confucians. ”

Nie Zishi nodded slowly, "It's okay, those Confucians can't just take the treasure, but don't do anything......"

Guo An hurriedly said: "Uncle is still sensible. ”

Nie Zishi sighed helplessly, "You kid don't worry, although the big Confucian can't be invited, but the old man can personally write a few letters and invite some talented people who don't want to be officials to come to Beiping Mansion." ”

In this way, Ning Yi thanked Uncle Nie...... In addition, if the political envoys and yamen have officials and eye diseases, Uncle Nie can also let them come to find Ning Yi......"

"The old man looked down on you kid, I didn't expect to come to our Beiping Political Envoy Si Yamen to plot such a big ......"

……

After getting Nie Zishi, the political envoy of Beiping, Guo Anxin was worried again.

As long as Nie Zi really reads the documents and government affairs, he will wear it for a while.

I believe that in less than a day, all the officials in the entire political envoy department and the yamen will know about it...... In less than three days, the officials and gentry of the entire Peiping Province knew about it......

And behind every official, there are hundreds of scholars involved.

Guo An felt that Beiping Mansion, Yingtiancheng, and Shunde Mansion, plus Daoyan Monk blossomed on all sides, and in less than half a month, the entire northern region of the Ming Dynasty knew about the appearance of reading glasses in Yanwang Mansion.

Naturally, I also knew that King Yan was going to build more than 100 acres of academies.

Then, the lack of masters, Confucians, and books in the academy will also spread throughout Beiping Mansion.

Sure enough, as Guo An expected.

Less than two days after sending reading glasses to Nie Zishi, some officials had already come to look for them, naturally for the reading glasses.

looked at the black pressure in front of him and pressed a bunch of political envoys, envoys, and envoys...... Waiting for the officials of Beiping Mansion, Guo An smiled bitterly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are not stingy in the Yan Wangfu, it is really reading glasses that look simple, but they require extremely complicated processes to manufacture.

It takes a day to make a few pairs.

Therefore, you can leave the prescription of your reading glasses first. If you don't know the degree, you can leave the age of the person you need, and the official will line you up first.

In a few days, after the production of reading glasses for the scholars, gentry, and merchants who have contributed to the academy is completed, we will make reading glasses for you as soon as possible. ”

"What, I still have to wait in line?"

"Even, after those gentry and merchants?"

"How can Guo Changshi humiliate us so much? ……”

Suddenly, some officials were dissatisfied.

Guo An still had a gentle smile on his face, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to His Royal Highness King Yan."

As long as His Royal Highness King Yan gives you priority, we will definitely not have any delay. ”

“……”

All the officials looked helpless, if they could find King Yan, they would still come to you?

After the atmosphere was embarrassing for a long time, an official couldn't help but ask again: "Dare to ask Guo Changshi, how can it be regarded as a contribution to the academy?" ”

Hearing this, all the officials also subconsciously looked at Guo An.

"This ......"

Guo An frowned slightly.

It just so happened that a pale-haired squire, led by a scribe, walked in.

"Qi Guo Changshi, this old man Zhang donated a hundred classics, and they are all classics that are not available in my Yanwang Mansion."

Guo An immediately arched his hand towards that Zhang Yuanwai with a grateful face, "This official will thank Zhang Yuanwai for his donation on behalf of the academy." ”

That Zhang Yuanwai suddenly replied with a frightened face, "Guo Changshi never dared to do this, he was old." ”

"No problem, no problem."

Guo An waved his hand with a gentle face, and asked, "Old man Zhang came out to look for his own official, but he wanted a pair of reading glasses?" ”

Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly looked at Guo An expectantly, "Guo Changshi is wise." ”

Guo An directly instructed the scribe on the side: "You quickly take Mr. Zhang to test the degree of dizziness of his eyes, and choose a pair of satisfactory reading glasses for Mr. Zhang." ”

"Thank you, Guo Changshi." Zhang Yuanwai hurriedly said with excitement on his face.

The scribe also hurriedly bowed his hand, "Yes, Guo Changshi." ”

“……”

After the scribe took Zhang Yuan out, all the officials in the palace couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths slightly, such a simple thing was so complicated?

"Dare to ask Guo Changshi, if this official and others donate classics to the academy, will it also be considered a contribution?"

Guo An nodded slightly, "Count!" ”

A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes of the officials.

Another official asked, "Dare to ask Guo Changshi, I don't know what else can be regarded as a contribution to the academy?" ”

Guo An thought for a while, and then replied: "Introduce the master or the great Confucian to the academy, or enter the academy as a master...... However, this matter is a bit difficult for you! ”

"It's really a bit ......"

"Thank you Guo Changshi for informing me."

In less than a moment, all the officials in the palace were gone.

"Tsk......"

Guo An sneered and didn't pay much attention to it.

And on the second day.

In the Yanwang Mansion, there was once again a carload of books.

Naturally, they also gave out a pair of reading glasses with the logo of Yanwangfu.

In this regard, Zhu Di was very happy.

It was a few days later.

The matter of reading glasses caused a stir in Jingshi Yingtian City.

After the reading glasses were sent to Lao Zhu by Zhu Di, Lao Zhu tried them on one by one, and then found the pair that suited him.

And Lao Zhu, as the most diligent emperor of the Ming Dynasty, spends most of his time sitting in the Fengtian Hall every day to review the chapters.

It only takes one day.

Scholar of Wenyuange, Scholar of Wenhuadian University, Scholar of Wuyingdian University, General Political Envoy, Six Books of Shangshu...... and other ministers who often reported to Zhu Di all saw the delicate thing called reading glasses in Lao Zhu's eyes.

After chasing after a while, they also knew the function of reading glasses, which can make their eyes brighter, which is much more convenient than the kind of glasses they hold in their hands every day.

Suddenly, all the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were very excited.

And after these ministers dispersed, they quickly sent people to investigate, which attracted the entire Yingtian City to know.
