Chapter 500 A mirror is hard to find
The small villages deep in the Qinling Mountains have never arrived all year round. The hardship of the living environment has caused many such small villages to disappear in the long river of time every year.
But the choice of nature is different from man-made killing. Quan Gai Suwen is cruel, cunning, and irresponsible. He has no hesitation for the cruelty of his life-saving benefactor, and he can't even see a little pity in his dark eyes.
Under the night, more than ten lives disappeared into this world. Many people died in vain and didn't even know what happened until they died, just because Quan Gai Suwen believed in Cao Cao's words, "I would rather teach me to let the world down than let the world down!"
...
In Chang'an, the fire half a month ago has long been forgotten by people. In this bustling city, many things happen every day. Compared to a fire, the focus of people's discussion is that a noble man in the city married another concubine and was rushed to sleep in the study by the eldest wife.
It was on such a "calm" day that the old man Wei Zheng received a gift from Changle and Li Zhi.
"Mr. Wei, this is what King Xiaoyao asked us to hand it over to you. King Xiaoyao said that it was a rebuttal to you when I was in Taiyuan some time ago." Li Zhi, like a small box, held a small box and stood in front of Lao Wei, and saw it with the etiquette of a student.
Wei Zheng returned it with the teacher's courtesy and took the small box to his hand and asked unconsciously: "Li Muyun? What is he going to do? Why didn't he bring it to him personally at that time?"
Li Muyun has always been a heart-wrenching problem for Old Wei. This guy doesn't act according to common sense and always goes against the rules. Although he is dedicated to working for the Tang Dynasty,... But Old Wei just doesn't like him.
Seeing that Old Wei was puzzled, Changle seemed to be unwilling to accept it, so he quickly said to the side: "Because the gift was still being made and the father left was in a hurry, so King Xiaoyao has been waiting for it now! Moreover, this thing is said to be very helpful to the eyesight of the adults, so that Lord Wei does not have to work so hard when studying."
"Oh? This is..." Hearing that the things in the box were helpful for vision, Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, looked down at the box in his hand, and lifted the lid casually. The box was a pair of crystal glasses with golden silk edges. The colorless and transparent lenses were crystal clear in the sun, showing their extraordinary value.
"King Xiaoyao said this is called a myopia mirror. If you wear it, you will be able to have myopia symptoms." Li Zhi looked at Lao Wei with anticipation, as if he wanted him to put it on and try it right away.
Wei Zheng was really troubled by his myopia during this period. It was better during the day, and the light was dim at night almost the same as the blind. Therefore, I heard that this myopia glass can improve vision, but I had no intention of refusing it. I took it out and put it on.
The crystal lens was close to his eyes and immediately felt a coolness, which made Lao Wei's spirit refresh and the clear vision that followed made him feel a little fluttered under his feet.
This is the discomfort caused by excessive glasses, which will gradually ease with habits. Li Muyun once explained this.
But Lao Wei's attention was obviously not on this aspect. Although he was floating under his feet, he saw things clearly in the distance for the first time. He raised his sleeves and could see the thin silk threads at normal distances clearly. This made Lao Wei tremble slightly excited.
How many times did I groped and wrote memorials like a blind man at night, and I was dizzy; How many times did His Majesty the Emperor handed over the memorials for himself to see them, he had to stick his face almost on the memorials to see them clearly; the most important thing is that I finally saw the person clearly with this thing, and I would never dare to say hello to others in order to avoid admitting the wrong person.
It’s a pity that in ancient times, because of the bad night light, no scholar had more or less myopia. If he had this myopia mirror, wouldn’t everyone see clearly? He would never have to pierce his head into the book to read the words?
For a moment, Old Wei was so excited that he burst into tears. After a while, he forced himself to hold back and bowed deeply to Changle and Li Zhi: "Thank you two Your Highnesses, and ask the old minister to thank King Xiaoyao on behalf of the old minister. He said that he accepted this gift. The old minister thanked King Xiaoyao for this kind of good deed for all living in the world, so that my scholars in the Tang Dynasty will no longer have to suffer from eye diseases in the future!"
Changle was startled by Wei Zheng's gift, quickly pulled Li Zhi to the side, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wei doesn't have to do this. This is what... should be done, what should be done!"
Wei Zheng is not an ordinary flatterer. In the current terms, this person is a stubborn person. Only those who have been recognized by him will make him bow his head. In addition, no power or money can make him bend his waist half. Therefore, Changle and Li Zhi can get his tribute, because it represents a recognition, not a purely polite kind of greeting.
Just when the Changle brother and brother were at a loss, Old Wei had already straightened up and asked casually with curiosity: "Two Your Highnesses, has this myopia mirror King Xiaoyao said how much is worth?"
Li Zhi spoke quickly and said without thinking: "It's about fifty taels!"
As Li Zhi's voice fell, Wei Zheng could hardly believe his ears and stared at his eyes: "How many?!"
"Five, fifty taels!" Li Zhi was stared and took a few steps back, stretched out a slap, and said stammeringly.
"I, I..." Wei Zheng's hands began to tremble again, but this time it was not exciting, but angry.
He took off his glasses and raised them hard, but finally hesitated and put them down. He held them in his hand and turned around a few times, muttering to himself: "The profitable businessman, a real profitable businessman!" The slightest feeling of affection for Li Muyun just now became completely gone.
Changle and Li Zhi looked at Wei Zheng, who was shaking like a sieve, and arranged for someone to call the imperial physician over, while sneaking away quietly.
The old man is a little old. If no one can bear the responsibility if he is too old and two shorts, he simply leaves it to the imperial physician to handle it. As for himself... Thirty-six strategies are the best.
But because of this, glasses are a hit. The price of fifty cents is out of reach for some people, but for others, it is a drop in the bucket.
For example, Changsun Wuji, the heads of major families, such as those rich businessmen, etc.
But, but, although the reputation of glasses has been made, it has no market value. Except for Wei Zheng, there is no second pair in the huge Chang'an City. How many people have been walking around the city with money but can't find a place to sell glasses.
Changle and Li Zhi, who gave out their glasses, have become popular these days, and people keep coming to visit them for the source and channel of the glasses.
