Chapter 261: Crossing Essentials - Making a Glass Mirror (1)

[Who has the best money in this world? I believe that this answer has been the best money for women since ancient times.

So how do we travel back in time to ancient times and make women's money after we have glass?

I believe that with our current knowledge, the first thing that must come to mind is how to make glass mirrors.

This is not only what we learned in school, but also a weapon for harvesting wealth.

And how do you make a mirror?

If it is put into the present day, it must be made from silver nitrate, ammonia and glucose, but if it is placed in ancient times, it will definitely not work.

After all, in ancient times, they did not have a way to obtain these chemical materials.

At that time, the most common way was to put tin foil on one side of the glass, then pour mercury on it, and when it was completely solidified, a mirror was made.

Of course, the mirror made in this way is not as bright as the first method.

If you have some knowledge of chemistry when you cross over, it is recommended to use the first method.

This not only builds a knowledge barrier for themselves, which makes it impossible for people to imitate, but also reduces environmental pollution.

……】

When the people of various dynasties saw the video on the canopy, they were a little skeptical.

After all, the copper mirror they used was very clearly visible, so how could they use the so-called glass mirror?

You must know that the value of glass at this time, although it has decreased because of Tianmu's public production method, it is not something that ordinary people like him can use.

And what is the difference between the method of making a glass mirror mentioned on the canopy and a mirror made of a piece of tin?

And although the merchants of various dynasties were a little skeptical, they still took action.

For them, it is better to believe it than not, after all, if it is really as said in the sky, then it will be a good opportunity to make a fortune.

So they called in the craftsmen and told them to put a piece of tin foil on one side of the glass, as the canopy said, and finally poured mercury into the foil.

After a period of waiting, they cleaned up the excess mercury and washed it off with clean water.

In the end, they took out the mirrors they had made, and when they looked at the shiny mirrors, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

This kind of mirror is like a copper mirror that has just been made, not only can you see people clearly, but also can reflect your original color better than copper mirrors.

Later, in order to protect such mirrors from breaking, Shang Jia added wooden shelves around the perimeter of the mirrors, so that the glass mirrors that were originally clear and visible became works of art.

And after they took it to the market to sell, it instantly attracted a large number of female customers.

For these young ladies, such a mirror is simply very attractive, how can you start one.

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang watched the video on the canopy, and he couldn't believe that the reaction between the tin foil and mercury could turn the glass into a clearly visible mirror.

In order to confirm whether this was true or not, he asked those Mo family children to make it.

Then he was given a mirror made of mercury and tin foil, and the reflection of the figure was as clear as it was said in the canopy.

So he let those Mo family disciples make a lot of production, and used it to reward the courtiers who unified the six kingdoms for him.

Han dynasty.

After Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty watched the video on the canopy, he also asked those craftsmen to make such glass mirrors.

He felt that such a glass mirror was just right for Wei Zifu, who brought him two generals.

After Wei Zifu received the mirror sent by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, she was very happy.

Ever since Wei Qing and Huo Qubing went to attack the Xiongnu, he had been worried about their safety every day.

But after all, the Western Regions are far away, and even if she is the queen of the country, she can't know their news in time.

However, now the mirror sent by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty made him temporarily let go of his worries about Wei Qing and Huo Quai.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, saw Wei Zifu's gradually loosening brow, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although he couldn't get the news of Wei Qing and Huo Quai's illness in the Western Regions in the imperial court, he was even more worried about Wei Zifu's health.

Since Huo Qubing and Wei Qing went to attack the Xiongnu, Wei Zifu has been worried, which also makes him have no intention of ruling the government.

And now the glass mirrors made by the craftsmen made Wei Zifu stretch his brows and put him at ease.

So he rewarded these craftsmen, hoping that they would work hard to make more things for future generations.

When the craftsmen were rewarded, they were very happy.

Since the appearance of the canopy in the sky, their importance has gradually increased, and their own skills have been put to use.

Three Kingdoms period.

After Cao Cao watched the video on the canopy, he also ordered the craftsmen to make it.

After all, this glass mirror has such excellent performance, it is really the best item to attract people's hearts.

As the monarch of a country, he knew very well that his courtiers could rebel at any time, but if their families were involved, then this possibility would be greatly reduced.

And after the wives of these courtiers received Cao Cao's gifts, they were very happy.

Even if there is a broadcast on the canopy on how to make such mirrors, there are not many on the market now.

What's more, the glass mirror they got was given by His Majesty today, and this ease made them very happy in their hearts.

And when the courtiers saw this, they were very happy in their hearts.

After all, the women in the family, after seeing others have such mirrors, if they don't have them, they are afraid that their quality of life will plummet.

Sui Dynasty.

Yang Guang looked at the video on the canopy, he didn't understand why the canopy said that women's money was the best to make?

After all, for him, women are just flowers around him, so why please.

Although he was skeptical of what was said on the canopy, he still asked the craftsmen outside Luoyang City to make it.

After all, since he became emperor in the Sui Dynasty, he has built so many big projects, and the treasury has already been drained by him.

And now what is said on the canopy is simply the best commodity to replenish the treasury.

And the glass mirrors made by those craftsmen were widely welcomed by women as soon as they entered the market.

A large amount of wealth also slowly flowed into the treasury, which made Yang Guang, who was originally skeptical, once again see the magic of the canopy.

In order to be able to enjoy the wealth brought by mirrors exclusively, he even issued an order to make the technology of making glass mirrors exclusive to the imperial court.

Although many people expressed dissatisfaction with Yang Guang's actions, they were ordinary people after all, so how could they dare to confront the imperial court.

They can only secretly make mirrors and sell them in sparsely populated places, hoping to change their lives.
