Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Chapter 600 Anle Hou 19
Everyone has had a middle school period, and everyone in that period has had a dream of traveling through time.

Liu Shu was no exception. When he was in junior high school, he had read all three sacred books about time travel, and he still remembered the contents of those books.

He remembered how glass was made.

Liu Shu told the craftsmen the production process.

The craftsmen were all experienced in firing porcelain. Although they did not know what glass was, they successfully fired glass after some research.

With the glass, Liu Shu made a batch of reading glasses and asked Master Pang to distribute them to some elderly people in the court.

If others want glasses, they have to buy them.

Liu Shu also asked the craftsmen to make a batch of glassware, which he brought into the palace.

Liu Shu divided the glassware into three parts, one for the Queen Mother, one for Zhao Zhen, and one for his sister.

Zhao Zhen liked the crystal clear appearance of the glassware very much.

Zhao Zhen: "Yu'er, you're spending too much."

Yanagi: "Ah, no. These glass products are not valuable."

Zhao Zhen was surprised: "Are you already so rich?"

Liu Shu: "No, sir, this is glass, not colored glaze. It is made of sand and is not valuable."

He told Zhao Zhen about the glass firing method and materials.

Zhao Zhen's face was filled with disbelief: "How can sand be made into such beautiful glass?"

Liu Shu came up with a smile and said, "Sir, do you want to run the glass business with me?"

Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.

When he saw these beautifully shaped glass products and listened to Liu Shu talk about the raw materials and production of glass, he realized how profitable glass could be.

Zhao Zhen is short of money!
As an emperor, he was not short of money.

But part of Zhao Zhen's money belonged to the national treasury, which he could not touch; and part of it was used to support the people in the harem.

Zhao Zhen was very kind to his ministers and concubines, and often rewarded them.

But Zhao Zhen himself was very frugal, which is recorded in the "Continued Zizhi Tongjian".
"I do not like to eat delicious food every day, and my clothes are mostly made of coarse silk and silk, which have been washed many times. The palace ladies may laugh at me."

Once, Liu Shu entered the palace and found that Zhao Zhen had lost money gambling with a palace maid and was refusing to pay.

In order to save money, the palace was deserted and dull, with no fine wine, banquets, music, singing and dancing. The entertainment life was even inferior to that of the common people outside the palace.

Doesn’t Zhao Zhen want to be so dull and boring and not want to eat delicious food and drink good wine?

He wants to very much.

But he himself has no money.

Now that Liu Shu has brought the way to make money to his doorstep, how can Zhao Zhen refuse?

Zhao Zhen agreed immediately. He was afraid that Liu Shu would go back on his word, so he immediately wrote a contract and asked Liu Shu to sign it.

Liu Heng: "..."

Well, he could see how much Zhao Zhen needed money.

With the income from the glass, at least he could help pay back the small amount of money he owed to the palace servants.

With the joining of Zhao Zhen to his glass workshop, those who coveted it would automatically retreat.

Two months later, a "Glass Shop" opened in the capital, selling products called glass.

The glass products are crystal clear, just like colored glaze, but the price is much cheaper than colored glaze.

A set of bowls and plates, if made of colored glaze, would probably be worth a fortune.

But these glass bowls and plates can be bought home for only a hundred gold coins.

It is a hundred times cheaper than glass products and ordinary people can afford it.

In addition to various exquisite glass products, there are also things called mirrors for sale.

The mirror could clearly reflect every detail of a person, much clearer than a bronze mirror.

On one side of the shop hangs a scroll with some strange symbols on it, which is said to be used to test eyesight. It is said that people with poor eyesight can come here to test their eyesight, and then according to the test results, the shop can make something called glasses.

After wearing glasses, people with poor eyesight can see things clearly.

Ever since Grand Tutor Pang, Prime Minister Wang and others started wearing glasses when going out every day, many people have come to know the benefits of glasses.

People with poor eyesight wanted to buy glasses, but at that time they didn’t know where to buy them.

Now that there are shops selling glasses, they quickly line up to have their eyesight tested.

There are so many people queuing up every day, the line stretches from the shops to the street.

Among the scholars in the Song Dynasty, there were naturally many nearsighted people.

The most popular and best-selling product in Liu Shu's glass shop is actually glasses.

A month later, Liu Shu brought the dividends to the palace to meet Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen looked at the pile of money in front of him and felt so happy that he wanted to faint.

"You made so much money in just this month?" Zhao Zhen asked in a trembling voice.

Liu Shu: "Glass is exquisite and cheap, so naturally more people buy it. But this is also because people feel it is new. After a while, the novelty wears off and business will decline."

Zhao Zhen: "Let it fall back, we have already made a lot of money."

This money was enough for him to kill a sheep every day.

Poor emperor, he has to endure even his desire to eat mutton soup.

Liu Shu smiled and admired Zhao Zhen's contented character.

Although Zhao Zhen had the intentions of an emperor and plotted against the Pang family, he was indeed a good emperor.

Liu Shu: "Sir, I want to spread the method of making glass so that more people can use glass."

Zhao Zhen really did not object: "You decide."

After Liu Shu left the palace, he asked the people in the glass workshop to spread the news that he was selling the glass-making method at a low price.

Merchants who heard the news flocked to the store, but Liu Shu was not intimidated and gave the prescription to anyone who wanted it.

The price is not expensive.

But it still made him and Zhao Zhen a lot of money.

Many people began to make and sell glass products. Glass became more and more convenient and entered every citizen's home.

Liu Shu was pacing in Concubine Pang's palace, with Zhao Zhen following beside him.

Zhao Zhen took two steps and asked, "Yu'er, are your sister and nephew okay?"

Liu Shu comforted him: "It's okay, sir. My sister is in good health and will be able to give birth to the little prince smoothly."

Empress Dowager Li came in person to wait for the child to be born, and at this time she kept chanting "Amitabha".

After more than an hour, suddenly the sound of a baby crying was heard in the house.

Everyone was happy.

After a while, the midwife opened the door and came out to congratulate the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

The Queen Mother and Zhao Zhen were very happy and kept asking for rewards.

Liu Shu asked the midwife, "How is my sister?"

The midwife replied, "The queen is in good health. She didn't suffer much during the birth. She just became exhausted and is now asleep."

Liu Shu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and finally he was in the mood to approach Zhao Zhen and see his nephew.

This is a child that would not have existed in this world, but now that we have it, there won’t be any problems, right?

Liu Shu poured spiritual power into his eyes and carefully scanned the child from head to toe.

Fortunately, the child is in good health and has no problems.

As long as you take good care of it, it will grow up safely and healthily.
