Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 440 Clairvoyance

Qin Feiyan didn't expect that Qin Tian would want this pile of broken things.

But the businessman from the Western Regions didn't expect that Qin Tian would actually pay a hundred guan, so he was a little hesitant.

But when he saw Qin Tian's eyes, he knew that if he didn't tell the truth, Qin Tian might not give him anything.

"Actually, I found this thing in a natural cave on the way to Chang'an, but there are only so many in it, and the rest are gone."

Hearing that it was found in a cave, Qin Tian frowned slightly. Nature is very miraculous, and many things will appear under some coincidences.

In some caves, due to some coincidences, it is normal to have glass because of the reverse of time.

It's just that Qin Tian was somewhat disappointed when he heard that there were no more glasses. If there were a lot of them, these glasses could definitely make him rich.

If someone can produce it, that's fine, but obviously, under the constraints of such an era, there may be only so many glasses.

"You'd better not lie to Ben Hou. If I find out that this is sold in other places, Ben Hou will never forgive you."

The merchant from the Western Regions quickly said, "It's really gone, I can swear."

Qin Tian waved his hand, then said to Uncle Fu: "Give him a hundred coins."

Uncle Fu curled his lips and said, "My lord, do you really give it?"

Qin Tian nodded: "Really."

Uncle Fu retreated reluctantly. At this time, Qin Tian said to the Western Region businessman again: "If you have any good things in the future, you can show them to Ben Hou first. If Ben Hou likes them, you can't miss the price."

The businessman from the Western Regions did not expect that Qin Tian would actually give the money, and a big stone fell from his heart, and this also made him feel that Qin Tian is a trustworthy person who can work together, so he quickly agreed: "My name is Afanti, Lord Hou can rest assured, if there is any good thing in the future, I will definitely think of Lord Hou first."

Uncle Fu brought a hundred guan coins to the merchant from the Western Regions, and the merchant from the Western Regions thanked Qin Tian a few more times before skipping away.

As soon as the merchants from the Western Regions left, Qin Feiyan grabbed Qin Xiaodie and was about to beat him up, because Qin Xiaodie was running around in the street, and they lost a hundred guan, a hundred guan, and bought a pair of trash .

"Brother help."

Just as Qin Feiyan was about to make a move, Xiaodie hid behind Qin Tian.

"Come out for me." Qin Feiyan cursed, but Xiaodie was hiding more and more.

Qin Tian smiled here: "Sister, it's too late for us to thank Xiaodie for coming, why did you hit him?"

"Thank her?" Qin Feiyan raised her voice suddenly, and then asked: "Why should I thank her? What's the use of this thing?"

Qin Tiandao: "Sister, I don't know, this thing is called glass, but it is a good thing. Although it is broken, it can still be made into various shapes as long as it is burned in a furnace. Don't talk about a hundred guan , even if it’s a thousand coins, I can still earn it back.”

Hearing Qin Tian's words, Qin Feiyan couldn't believe it: "Is it true?"

"Of course it's true, don't worry."

Seeing that Qin Tian was so sure, Qin Feiyan finally spared Qin Xiaodie.

"Lift all these things to the warehouse, and I will do it after I think of what to do."

A few servants lifted the glass down, and they were very careful when lifting it, because it was bought for a hundred pennies.

It was getting late, Qin Tian went back to his room to rest.

"Sir, you bought those glasses for a hundred guan, but have you thought about what to do? The businessman from the Western Regions said that you can make jewelry, is it true?"

Jewelry can be made, but although the glass is very good, the jewelry made can indeed be sold at a good price, but compared with those gems, precious jade and so on, it is far from helping the body.

Therefore, after hearing Tang Rong's words, Qin Tian didn't think about making ornaments, but at this moment, he suddenly saw Tang Rong's eyes. Obviously, Tang Rong probably wanted ornaments made of glass very much.

After thinking about it, Qin Tian felt that although those precious jades were good, but because they were not easy to shape, it was inevitable that they would not look very good-looking. After the glass was fired, they could be shaped at will, and it would be okay to make some small ornaments for Tang Rong and the others Can.

But this thing is not ready to sell, nor can it be turned into money.

"I'll make some for you tomorrow."

Hearing this, Tang Rong immediately became overjoyed: "Make a few more, and I'll send them to the Empress. Maybe when she's happy, she will give you a good word from the Holy Majesty, and the Holy Majesty will release you."

It turned out that Tang Rong didn't want it for herself, but to please Empress Changsun, and then let Li Shimin give him freedom. Qin Tian's heart suddenly warmed up, but it was not easy to please Empress Zhangsun with a few glass ornaments.

Moreover, Qin Tian has always avoided getting too close to the harem, and Li Shimin might be even more afraid of getting too close to the harem.

"You can just play with the accessories. You don't need to send them to the empress, she won't care. As for the freedom, I have a solution."

Tang Rong let out an oh, and didn't say anything more.

But at this time, Qin Tian suddenly remembered something. He had been unable to be free, and he always wanted to see the scenery and people outside, but he climbed very high, and his eyesight was limited. Why didn't he use those glasses to make a telescope? ?

That would be equivalent to having a pair of clairvoyance.

He knew that the lenses of the telescope are optical glass made of glass heated at high temperature in a ceramic crucible. As long as it is made of optical glass, it is much easier to make a telescope.

Qin Tian suddenly felt an indescribable excitement, binoculars, this thing is much more expensive than jewelry.

The night passed like this, and early the next morning, Qin Tian found a large ceramic crucible, and then began to enrich the glass.

While melting the glass, he made two more lens molds. After the glass was heated, he poured the liquefied glass into the molds, and when it condensed slowly, he pulled it out to become two telescope lenses.

Of course, the lenses are all made of convex lenses. Only in this way can the two lenses be superimposed to see farther.

After some lenses were made, Qin Tian began to make shelves for telescopes. There are many types of shelves, some can be seen with both eyes, and some can be stretched and stretched to be seen with one eye. .

Qin Tian prefers the one that can be stretched and stretched. After all, this one looks more stylish, and it can be retracted for easy storage.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is easier to do this way.

Qin Tian was busy in the mansion. After a whole day of busy work, he finally made a few telescopes.

After the telescope was ready, he hurried to the attic to try it out, and found that the telescope was not bad, and he could see the features of some people two miles away, no matter how far away it was, but it was not very clear.
