Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"It can be supplied in large quantities."

"Many intellectuals have poor eyesight,"

"They all need to use glasses."

"But one hundred strings of cash is still a bit too expensive for them,"

"If one sells for ten strings of cash,"

"Most people can afford it."

"One hundred strings of cash might be enough to sell a thousand of them,"

"But if it's ten strings of cash each,"

"We can definitely sell 100,000 of them."

Small profits but quick turnover

Zhao Yuan looked at Wang Jing, who had the face of a cunning businessman, and laughed.

"You'll definitely have a brighter future as a businessman than as a government official."

"Would you be interested in selling these glasses for the imperial court?"

Wang Jing was naturally fond of money.

My initial plan was to make a fortune by grinding glass into lenses.

That's why I inquired about the price of glasses.

However, glass is not transparent.

And it's fragile.

Only a few master craftsmen can polish it.

And these master craftsmen had endless tasks to complete.

I also don't have time to do side jobs for him.

Only then did he abandon the idea.

Moreover, the job of kiln worker was also a dangerous one.

If the ceramics made for the emperor have even the slightest flaw...

You might be held accountable.

Even if kiln management has countless advantages

He dared not say no to the god-like King Liang, and immediately replied,

"I am willing."

Zhao Yuan asked He Yong to bring paper and pen.

I drew what a modern eyeglass frame would look like.

Handed it to Wang Jingdao,

"This is what eyeglass frames look like,"

“You should assign some craftsmen to make eyeglass frames.”

"A ten-string eyeglass frame can be made of inferior materials,"

"You can also use gold or silver to make the frames,"

"In short, we need to differentiate between different levels."

"A business worth ten strings of cash must be done,"

"We'll do business even if it costs a hundred strings of cash."

Wang Jing still couldn't see the merits of the eyeglass frames Zhao Yuan had drawn, and respectfully said...

"I will remember the teachings of King Liang."

Zhao Yuan thought for a moment, then said,

"If I make a telescope,"

"It allows people to see things in the distance clearly."

"And what is its value?"

"Can it see a thousand miles?"

Wang Jing heard that the King of Liang had personally made a telescope.

They immediately became excited as well.

Zhao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Do you think it's a clairvoyant?"

Wang Jing's thinking was truly insightful.

In his opinion,

King Liang even built a spaceship.

Then make a telescope.

It's not surprising that someone with super hearing came along.

"I have spoken nonsense, please forgive me, King Liang."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "The effect depends on the lenses."

"However, even those with less refined features should be fine to judge the appearance of people inside and outside the house."

"You can naturally see further when you see something bigger."

Chapter 1750 So Popular!

It turns out that it wasn't that King Liang couldn't create a clairvoyant system.

Rather, there were no materials available.

Wang Jing further enhanced Zhao Yuan's lofty image, and after thinking for a moment,

"Compared to glasses,"

"The telescope is just a toy,"

"However, many wealthy people enjoy collecting these trinkets."

"Even if it's sold at a higher price, there will definitely be buyers."

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "This is not a toy."

“Telescopes have many uses,”

"Ships at sea can detect pirates in advance."

"It can also be used to observe the enemy during military campaigns."

He Qiaoshou only then realized what military merits she had made.

Wang Jing also immediately realized what was happening.

"Why did the King of Liang make these lenses?" he hurriedly asked.

"I am foolish and did not realize that the telescope is a powerful tool in the army."

"However, if we were to sell such a powerful weapon,"

"Liao and Jin spies will be readily available; it won't be long before..."

"It probably appeared in the Liao and Jin armies."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "It's alright, these are all applications of physics."

"As long as I start lecturing on physics,"

"The telescope is no secret either."

"And the telescope has a limited range,"

"It is not enough to affect the course of the battle."

He Qiaoshou listened to Zhao Yuan and Wang Jing's discussion.

He sold the glass he made by firing sand and gravel for exorbitant prices.

The God within me also began to shine.

It was just golden light.

Greedy golden light.

The two discussed it for a while,

This led to the emergence of a new type of trading company.

It's called Mirror Walk.

For now, the only items for sale are eyeglasses, silver mirrors, telescopes, and magnifying glasses.

Although they are all made of sand and stone,

However, none of them were prepared to be sold cheaply.

After agreeing on the business name,

Zhao Yuan then turned to He Qiaoshou and said,

Is glass easy to heat?

He Qiaoshou hurriedly replied, "I have already summarized the steps for making glass."

"As long as we have enough manpower,"

“Burning glass is easy.”

Zhao Yuan laughed and asked, "What about the large piece of glass?"

"The smaller ones burn more easily,"

"Large ones are more likely to burst open and produce bubbles."

"What about one foot or so?"

"A foot or so is fine."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Then burn a batch of ones about a foot long later."

"Replace all the windows in the Liangwang Palace with glass."

"But there's no rush,"

"You should heat the lens first,"

"I'll need it for this expedition,"

"Then we'll supply the mirror shop's needs first."

Zhao Yuan then had two pieces of gold jewelry from the palace given to the two as a reward.

Only then did they leave.

With a lens,

Making a telescope is not difficult.

Soon, Zhao Yuan had a silversmith make a silver monocular telescope.

The telescope is ready.

Zhao Yuan immediately went to the artificial hill in the palace to test it.

People on the main street outside the palace were clearly visible.

He Qiaoshou didn't know whether what he made would please King Liang.

I didn't dare make too many convex and concave lenses.
