Great Tang princess

Chapter 84 Magnifying Glass

Regarding Fulai's flattery, Li Yuechen just smiled: "I will discuss this matter with you when I go back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and smiled at the craftsman in front of him: "Good job! The next task is to eliminate the bubbles in it, and then make a specific shape."

Having said that, Li Yuechen asked, "Bring a pen and paper."

Fulai who was at the side immediately agreed, ran to get a pen and paper, and put them on the table respectfully.

Li Yuechen probably drew a magnifying glass and explained to them: "For the handle outside, you can go and discuss it with the carpenter of the carpenter. I don't have any special requirements for the size. It should be as large as this painting."

After looking at the design drawing, the craftsman nodded slightly: "Your Highness, this is not difficult, but the air bubble... I don't know how to get rid of it."

"Easy!" Li Yuechen waved his hand easily, "Just stir after firing."

"Stir...stir?" The craftsman didn't seem to react, and asked himself if he heard it wrong with his expression.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Yes! The air bubbles can be eliminated by stirring. If it doesn't work, you can report to me later."

"Here!"

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Li Yuechen explained a few more words, and then took this square glass to Li Zhi to show off.

In fact, at the beginning, she planned to wait until she made the magnifying glass, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible to hide something as big as transparent glass.

So let's do it for ourselves to brush up the sense of presence.

Li Yuechen took Fulai and went to Renshou Hall, and it was still far away when he saw Zhang Chengxin and Zhong Cong walking out of it.

Seeing a little girl in a red dress with a high ponytail who looked like a porcelain doll running towards him, Zhong Cong turned his head curiously, wanting to ask who it was.

Before he could speak, Zhang Chengxin bowed his head and saluted, "Your Highness!"

When Zhong Cong heard this, he thought to himself that this is Princess Taiping, so he followed suit and said, "Zhong Cong has seen Your Highness the Princess!"

"Well, no courtesy." Li Yuechen smiled, "You haven't left yet?"

"Eh..." Hearing the princess's question, Zhong Cong's handsome face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Yes, I haven't left yet..."

Li Yuechen grinned: "I hope you have fun in Datang!"

After finishing speaking, he took Fulai directly into the Hall of Renshou.

Seeing that the princess could face the saint directly without a notification, Zhong Cong thought to himself, as expected, this princess is extremely favored!
In fact, before the mission formally entered Datang, there had already been spies who had been lurking in the former Datang for a long time and provided a lot of information, as well as recent events.

So Zhong Cong also knew very well that the princess was assassinated some time ago and fled out of the city along Luoshui, and finally the emperor personally picked her up.

The most important thing is that many people saw with their own eyes at that time that the princess was brought back by the emperor wrapped in a dragon robe and held in his arms.

After the two left the imperial city, Zhong Cong turned around and saluted, "Eunuch Zhang, stay here, there's no need to see him off."

"Okay, then let's go back first, the envoy walk slowly!" Zhang Chengxin also saluted slightly, then turned and went back.

When Zhong Cong turned around, the smile on his face had disappeared, and he turned to get on the carriage.

The carriage began to drive slowly towards the post house specially for receiving foreign envoys, but Zhong Cong in the carriage lowered his head and thought.

Now Tubo is full of national strength, and although Zanpu is not as talented as Songtsan Gampo, he is still working hard to govern.

But at this time, Tubo definitely did not have the ability to really go to war with Datang. It may be easy to fight on its own territory, but if it is said that the plateau invades Datang, the current Tubo does not have that ability at all, so this time is not fighting with Datang. The enemy's timing.

But if Zanpu can marry this Princess Taiping, he can take advantage of the situation to cultivate his health and make the country stronger.

Thinking of this, Zhong Cong decided to give Zanpu this suggestion after returning home.

Anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, Princess Taiping is only seven or eight years old now, and I still have time to go back and discuss it with Zanpu.

……

On the other side, Li Yuechen ran to the Hall of Renshou, jumped over the table and came to Li Zhi: "Is your mother okay? Then the foreign envoy made the two adults unhappy?"

Li Zhi chuckled: "The messenger is not someone who doesn't know good and bad, how could he make me unhappy?"

Wu Zetian next to him looked at the tea soup boiling in the tea pot, raised his head and asked, "What is Chen'er doing here today?"

Li Yuechen came to her and sat down cross-legged, and asked with a smile: "Ma'am, why don't you guess?"

Wu Zetian still knew his daughter very well: "Seeing that you are so happy, I'm afraid there is something good going on?"

Li Yuechen put his arms around her neck, and said "snap" on her face: "Auntie is really smart!"

"But have you researched something new?" Li Zhi asked with a chuckle while coiling the health ball in his hand.

Li Yuechen took advantage of the situation and snuggled into Wu Zetian's arms: "That's right, my child has researched colored glaze!"

"Hahaha..." Li Zhi suddenly laughed, "Chen'er, this colored glaze is not a rare item!"

"Really?" Li Yuechen pretended to smile mysteriously, and waved to Fulai next to him, "Then what do you think of this glass?"

Fulai took two steps forward with a wink, exposed the square glass in his hand from under his sleeve, and handed it over respectfully.

The moment Fu Lai removed the sleeve covering the glass, both Li Zhi and Wu Zetian put on expressions of surprise.

In this era, transparent glass is not unavailable, but it is too rare, and all of them are rare treasures.

As for the piece in Fulai's hand, it is so big and transparent, which is really unprecedented.

If it weren't for some of the bubbles that affected the perception, I'm afraid they would be even more surprised.

"hiss……"

Li Zhi put down the health ball in his hand, reached out and took it over, put it in front of his face and squinted his eyes to examine it carefully.

Wu Zetian looked down at the colorful lights refracted on the table, and couldn't help being surprised for a moment.

After Li Zhi looked at it for a while, he handed the glass block in his hand to Wu Zetian, with an expression of admiration on his face: "Amazing!"

While his mother was checking, Li Yuechen got up and ran to Li Zhi: "Grandpa, how are you?"

"Well, Chen'er is amazing!" Li Zhi praised sincerely.

I have to say that being able to make this kind of completely transparent glaze is really amazing in this era.

Li Yuechen opened his arms: "Then give me a hug!"

"Okay, hug!" Li Zhi agreed, holding his daughter in his arms.

Then Li Yuechen turned his head and brought his face closer: "Kiss me!"

Li Zhi seemed a little embarrassed, but he still touched his daughter's smooth face lightly, and then laughed.

Then he ran to Wu Zetian's side and stretched out the other half of his face: "Aniang, come here too."

"Go!" Wu Zetian pushed her, but did not push her away.

In desperation, he could only lower his head and kiss her on the cheek.

"How? Boy, is this transparent glass not bad?" Li Yuechen asked.

Li Zhi nodded: "Chen'er, have you really mastered the method of transparent glass? Or did you do it unintentionally?"

Li Yuechen said with a smile: "Grandpa might as well wait, after a few days, the child still has a present to give to the two adults."

"Okay, then Meiniang and I are looking forward to Chen'er's surprise." Li Zhi laughed.

……

After Li Yuechen left, Wu Zetian still had a surprised expression on his face: "Young slave, this..."

"Well, I didn't expect it... Chen'er can actually make such a treasure." Li Zhi had an expression of appreciation on his face, "It seems that my idea is right."

Wu Zetian is very clear about what her husband has been thinking about recently, but she is still a little uncertain: "You really want Chen'er to be an official in the court?"

"Why not?" Li Zhi held the health ball with a relaxed expression on his face.

"If Chen'er really enters the court and becomes an official, how many things will happen? What if there are women who are talented after Yu Chen'er?" Wu Zetian asked worriedly.

Li Zhi smiled: "If there are such women after Chen'er, they can also enter the court. Since I have decided to open this hole, I will naturally be responsible to the end!"

"This..." Wu Zetian's expression was a bit tangled, "I still reserve my opinion for the time being, I feel somewhat inappropriate."

"Well, I'm not in a hurry." Li Zhi nodded, with a relaxed expression on his face, "Chen'er's talent will definitely not stop here."

Wu Zetian nodded, she believed it, her daughter, who had been silent for three years since she was born, was naturally intelligent, and she had wonderful ideas one after another, as if she was born knowing it.

Her existence itself is already an auspicious sign, if she was a man, I'm afraid I would directly ask for a new crown prince.

What Li Zhi thought was that with this daughter, his lifelong wish should be fulfilled.

If he can surpass the late emperor, even if he is dead, he can rest in peace!

……

Time passed quickly, and two days later, Li Yuechen came to Liuli Workshop again to check the progress.

As soon as he entered the gate, Jian Cheng of the Shaofu Supervisor ran over with a look of surprise: "Your Highness, I am overjoyed, overjoyed!"

Seeing his expression, Li Yuechen also knew that it was right, and asked with a smile: "It's done?"

"It's done!" Jian Cheng nodded quickly: "Your Highness, please follow me!"

Entering the courtyard, I saw several craftsmen carefully rubbing the convex mirrors one by one, and the carpenter next to them was putting the wooden handles on one by one, and then glued them together with fish glue.

The convex mirror in their hands is almost completely transparent, with no bubbles visible in the middle, it is crystal clear!
Through this transparent glass, everything seen can be magnified a lot and looks clearer.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming, the craftsmen saluted respectfully: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

While saluting, the artisans who were personally responsible for the production couldn't help showing a hint of admiration.

"Excuse me!" Li Yuechen stretched out his hand, "Take a look."

"Please take a look, Your Highness!" A craftsman handed over a finished magnifying glass with both hands.

Li Yuechen picked it up and looked at it, and it was no different from the magnifying glass of the future.

The only problem is that the future magnifying glass in memory is more shiny and has a higher gloss.

But it doesn't matter, it's not bad to be able to make such a thing in this era. With this thing, the telescope is no longer a dream.

In fact, Li Yuechen's biggest idea was to make a pair of glasses for Li Zhi first, but firstly, she couldn't adjust the prescription, and secondly, she didn't know how to polish the lenses, so she had to shape them in one go, which was extremely difficult.

But I have to say that being able to do this is already a surprise.

Li Yuechen waved his hand slightly, and Fulai, who was behind him, took a step forward, calling Jian Cheng and all the craftsmen in charge of the production, and each of them handed out a golden bean the size of a soybean.

Although this gold is only the size of soybeans, in this era, this is already a huge sum of money!

Fortunately, the sales of canned food and soap are particularly good. Li Yuechen is also rich now, and Li Zhi still has a lot of start-up funds, so this level of reward is still affordable.

After receiving the reward, Jian Cheng and the craftsmen saluted Li Yuechen respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward!"

Li Yuechen waved his hands indifferently, put all the more than twenty magnifying glasses he had prepared into bags, and prepared to leave.

Fulai reminded in a low voice from behind: "You have to understand that this product was made with painstaking efforts by His Highness, if this formula is leaked out, be careful of your own heads!"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll find out later!" Jian Cheng quickly agreed with the craftsmen.

Only then did Fulai nod, followed Li Yuechen's footsteps, and took the bag in her hand into his own.

When Li Yuechen passed through the Qianyuan Hall, she saw several carriages at the Xihua Gate. She knew these carriages and they belonged to several of her older brothers.

Coincidentally, since they are all there, I can save sending them one by one.

When he came to the entrance of Renshou Hall, Zhang Chengxin greeted him: "I have seen Your Highness, just now the sage sent someone to call His Highness, Yiyang, and Xuancheng's two Highnesses."

"Oh? What's the matter, Grandpa?" Li Yuechen asked.

"It's nothing, that's why I asked all of you to come down for tea." Zhang Chengxin replied.

Li Yuechen nodded: "I see."

After entering the Hall of Renshou, I saw that the two older sisters and the four older brothers were already here.

"Chen'er, I sent someone to call you just now, only to find out that you went to the glass workshop, but did you make that fresh utensil?" Li Zhi asked.

Li Yuechen took the bag and came to sit next to him: "Grandfather is so smart!"

As he said that, he took out a magnifying glass from the bag and handed it over: "This is it! This thing is called a magnifying glass. Grandpa's eyes are bad. With this thing, it will be more convenient in the future."

While explaining, he took out several more and sent one to his mother Wu Zetian and his brothers and sisters.

She didn't need to explain, everyone quickly discovered how this thing works, and they were all surprised, looking left and right.

Li Zhi held it and looked at it, the surprise on his face was undisguised, and at the same time, he could not help but smile: "This thing is really novel!"

"Hmm." A smile appeared on Wu Zetian's usually serious face, as if she was happy for her daughter, and also seemed to be pleasantly surprised by seeing something new: "It's really unexpected that this transparent glass can have such a function."

The brothers and sisters also nodded in agreement, and kept looking for things to look at.

Li Yuechen smiled slightly: "Aniang, the function of this thing is not only that!"

"Oh?" Wu Zetian looked curious, "What's the use?"

Li Yuechen, who found a chance to pretend, picked up a piece of paper and came to the window, looked at the sun in the sky, and showed an inscrutable smile: "Mother and Dad, please watch!"
