I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 555 The Hot Glasses in the City

Before he knew it, Li Tian had fooled all the women around him into the path of money lovers.

Needless to say, the queen, if she wants the workshop in her hand back now, she might really fight Li Tian desperately.

Zhang Qinghuan has a dull personality and is not very interested in making money, but she is also very happy to be credited every day.After all, there is no one in this world who does not love money.

Lin Dai didn't need to say more.

Li Tian didn't need to attract a natural business genius, her nature made her either make money or be on the way to make money.

Li Tian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this.

Didn't an ancient person say that the best way to ease conflicts is to create external ones.

This statement applies not only to managing the country, but also to dealing with family conflicts.

No matter how big the palace is, no matter how many women Li Tian has, it is also his home, and conflicts will inevitably arise in his home.

The queen invited Zhang Qinghuan to the palace just after confirming her pregnancy. If she said that she had no suspicion of showing off in her heart, no one would believe it.

Although the queen was very generous and didn't have any cynicism towards Zhang Qinghuan, but the hidden conflicts and crises would still jump out from time to time to make troubles.

It's good now, let them shift all their extra attention to making money, which will not only ease the relationship between them.

It can even make them put their energy in one direction, so that the possibility of any nasty outbreak between them will be minimized.

It can be seen that the queen does not intend to let Zhang Qinghuan go today.

Li Tian also knew that if he stayed any longer, he might disturb their enthusiasm, so he left quietly without saying hello to them.

After leaving the queen's bedroom, seeing that it was still early, Li Tian planned to go to Tiangongyuan for a stroll.

It also happened to discuss with Liu Bao and them about making milk powder.

They called Wang Fujiangbao and others to change into comfortable casual clothes and they set off.

At this time, Tiangongyuan is no longer what it was when it was just built a few months ago.

The more than a hundred small workshops in the backyard, that is, the simple laboratories of this era, have long been overcrowded.

Each master craftsman takes a few apprentices to study various topics day and night.

At present, the main research of Tiangong Institute is the improvement of steam engines and steam ships.

Almost half of the craftsmen and scholars participated in it.

Of course, other people are not idle, and some people continue to study the hydraulic wind power transmission system to prepare for the popularization of steam engines in the future.

Some people are deeply researching the improvement process of soap and matches.

In short, there is no idle person in the Tiangongyuan. Zhou Zhen and the others have repeatedly asked Li Tianzai to send them more people.

It is worth mentioning that under the guidance of Li Tian, ​​the guys who previously studied glass have successively developed practical things such as telescopes, myopia glasses, reading glasses, and mirrors.

Because of the practical things like glasses appeared.

Recently, the trend of wearing glasses has also become popular in the court.

At the beginning, Li Tian suddenly saw several people wearing glasses, and he was not used to it, but after a few days of watching, he got used to it.

In order to take care of their own image, some ministers were obviously envious and still didn't bring them, but later seeing that Li Tian didn't care much, they couldn't help it anymore, almost half of the people in the hall wore mirrors.

Suddenly so many people wear mirrors, it is actually helpless.

As we all know, in this era, no matter scholars or craftsmen, they often read books or work late into the night.

After years of concentrating on looking at things under a dim oil lamp, his eyesight soon collapsed.

As a result, nearly half of the officials in the entire court have varying degrees of myopia.

The situation is especially serious for those senior officials.

Even Yang Shiqi put on glasses.

Once Li Tian couldn't help but asked Yang Shiqi curiously what kind of glasses he was wearing, and Yang Shiqi said he was wearing a No. [-] lens.

Converted into the eye degree of later generations, it is nearly [-] degrees.

Li Tian was taken aback when he learned that Yang Shiqi was nearsighted at [-] degrees.

In my mind,

"Four or five Baidu's only, in later generations it is almost called blindness. How did Yang Shiqi fool this before, so that people can't detect it."

He couldn't help laughing at that time,
"No wonder, Shi Qi's handwriting is bigger than ordinary people's. It's not because you want to show off your handwriting to others, but because it's too small, you can't read it clearly!"

After being laughed at by Li Tian, ​​Yang Shiqi was depressed for many days.

The appearance of short-sighted glasses and reading glasses has solved many problems for the officials of the imperial court. Those who had objections to the Tiangong Academy in the past have now obediently shut their mouths.

Seeing that glasses are so popular, Tiangong Institute took the opportunity to open a store in the capital, Qingmingtang, which specializes in selling myopia glasses and reading glasses.

When I heard the name Qingmingtang suddenly, I thought it was the name of a pharmacy.

At the beginning, there were very few patrons. Later, I didn't know that the shopkeeper who managed the store probably used the same method as when selling soap in the soap workshop before. He took a few young men and set up a stall on the street.

There is a wooden signboard for visual acuity testing at the door, and while testing the visual acuity of passing scholars, it sells its own myopia glasses.

Not to mention, after a period of publicity, Qingmingtang's reputation has gradually grown.

There are even some scholars who heard that there are still good things that can help people restore their eyesight, and they travel thousands of miles to buy them.

Of course that's all for later.

In short, with the spread of Qingmingtang's reputation, one or two literati wearing glasses can often be seen passing by leisurely on the streets of the capital.

Glasses have become a symbol of culture and talent for a while.

Some people, even if they are not short-sighted, bought one and took it with them to pretend to be a cultural person.

After Li Tian learned of this funny situation, he didn't stop laughing for several days.

He thought at the time that he didn't know when sunglasses would become popular.

Imagine that one day you were walking on the street in the Ming Dynasty, and a few guards wearing sunglasses suddenly appeared beside you. You are definitely not a good person. If you want to check your ID card, the picture is not too beautiful.

The popularity of the glasses also boosted Daming of the Tiangong Institute. Many students, after hearing that this magical thing was actually researched by the Tiangong Institute, their attitude towards the Tiangong Institute changed a lot.

I no longer think that I am a learned person, so I look down on those craftsmen who can only chisel.

At the same time, through the huge income of Qingmingtang, the people of Tiangongyuan have also seen their ability to create wealth and value.

Work is more motivated and passionate.

This situation was both expected and unexpected for Li Tian.
