The matter at the Viscount Yu's mansion did not cause much discussion. Although some people would bring the Viscount Yu's mansion with them because of Gu Zhao's matter, everyone didn't think that the matter at the Viscount Yu's mansion had anything to do with Gu Zhao. It's just one's own fault, Gu Zhao didn't recognize his ancestors and returned to his family. After all, I really can't blame Gu Zhao himself. Seeing how well he takes care of his adoptive parents and biological mother now, who can blame the last sentence?

Although Yu Zijue's mansion was not confiscated because of loan sharks, but after being deposed last time, it hurt its vitality again, and the whole Viscount's mansion fell further and further. They had to cut down on food and clothing, reduce ostentation, and there was not so much money for them to squander. At this time, Mrs. Yu was willing to lower the conditions and marry a daughter-in-law for her son. The only requirement was to accompany her with more dowry, but now It's just that even ordinary wealthy businessmen don't look down on Shangyu Mansion anymore.

These businessmen are more aware of the situation. They didn't see that Yu Zijue was hit so badly this time. Gu Zijue didn't even ask, and completely regarded this mansion as a stranger. No, maybe even strangers, they really want to marry their daughters. , Isn't it about enmity with Gu Zijue? Now that Gu Zhao has fully demonstrated his ability to attract money, it is even more important to these businessmen.

This matter only splashed a small drop of water in the entire capital, and soon sank. Gu Zhao was so busy that he didn't even get any news. the back of the head.

Only Uncle Li paid attention to the whole matter, and hid his credit and fame deeply, because he was behind the manipulation of this matter, and the result was a bit different from his expectation, because the Yu family was not confiscated, but then he thought about it for a while. Fan, maybe he was not confiscated by His Majesty, but it was because of Gu Zhao's face. Regardless of whether Gu Zhao and Li Jiacheng admit it or not, the man surnamed Yu is Gu Zhao's biological father. Anyway, the man surnamed Yu doesn't even have a job now Well, the imperial court has made a lot of money, and it is not impossible to support such a viscount, so it is put aside to dry.

Glass and mirrors are rare items that the rich and the rich look at. For the common people, at most, they can watch around. They are more talking about the paving of cement roads inside and outside the capital. Because the imperial court has money, so this time there is no free labor. Instead, the people were recruited with wages. The wages given were not low, and food was provided, and the construction period was long, so it attracted the attention of many people.

At first the common people were also worried, and the publicity sounded good, but the actual wages they received were not so much, and they were deducted layer by layer by the officials, so at first only those who were too poor to earn much money went to work. After getting the wages and sending them home, more and more people signed up. In the villages outside the capital, most of the young and middle-aged people left, and everyone was very excited.

In a few of these villages, many women in the village went to work in Ruyi workshops, and the wages they took home every month were more than that of men. The right to speak at home has been affected, and some women have even started to make peace.

Now it's all right, it's their turn to have the opportunity to work. Although they are a little tired and hard, but fortunately, the wages they get back home are not small, and they can save the family's food, so they all work hard.

"This time, no officials deducted our wages. As long as we finish the assigned tasks, the agreed wages will be in our hands. If the completion is fast and good, there will be rewards."

"You don't know, this time, there are officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry watching, and Mr. Gu Zijue, who found out that the cement made the first cement road, will also come to our construction site from time to time. This Mr. Gu In addition to caring about the construction of the cement road, he also cares about the situation of our laborers. Mr. Gu is someone who can face the Holy Spirit directly. Who would dare to cheat our wages with small tricks? That would be a matter of losing our heads."

"It's so kind, Mr. Gu is really a kind person."

Gu Zhaohui will come to the construction site to be responsible for the technical issues of cement road construction, and at the same time to supervise the quality issues. You can’t make rough, cut corners, reduce the service life of the road, and waste money needlessly. Money is not used in this way. Gu Zhao’s requirements are very strict. Strict, after catching a few mistakes and punishing a few groups of people, no one dares to play tricks anymore, Mr. Gu has a sharp eye.

In addition to the construction site, Gu Zhao will continue to make other glass products in the workshop. There are many derivative products, such as concave-convex mirrors, glasses, and microscopes. Get more of these derivatives as much as possible, and latecomers also have directions to look for.

On this day, Gu Zhao sent another good thing into the palace, saying that it was specially made for His Majesty. When the exquisite box was presented to the emperor, the emperor had high expectations, thinking that after cement and glass, Gu Zhao made another Got something good.

If Gu Zhao knew the emperor's psychology, he would roll his eyes straight away. The reason why he could make these things out so quickly was not only the memory of later generations he possessed, but also thanks to the books and materials in his portable space for reference, otherwise it would be difficult to realize. It has grown by ten times and a hundred times, and no matter how fast it is, it can't be swallowed in one round. It has to be done carefully.

The close eunuch opened the box to the emperor graciously, and said a lot of good things for Gu Zijue, because he knew that this is what the emperor likes to hear, and he can do things and earn money. There are few civil and military men in the dynasty who can compare with Gu Zijue of?

As a result, when I opened it, I saw a piece of glass, wrapped in a wooden frame, and a handle.

Seeing the eunuch's stunned expression, the emperor also poked his head to look, and was a little surprised when he saw it. He reached out and fished out the thing from the box, and twirled it in his hand a few times: "What is this thing? Gu Aiqing made such a piece What does it mean to give me the glass?"

"Your Majesty, there is a note under here, this old slave has a look."

The eunuch who was close picked up a note that was pressed down and looked at it. It was just a few lines of words, which stated the purpose of this thing. The eunuch exclaimed: "Your Majesty, this old slave knows what this thing is. Gu Zijue said This is a magnifying glass that can magnify words a lot."

"Magnifying glass? How to use it?"

"Your Majesty, this old slave has a try."

The close eunuch was no longer disappointed after knowing the purpose, but took the initiative to experiment with great interest, so he aligned the glass on the magnifying glass with the writing on the booklet, ah, it became smaller?Thinking of the explanation, he quickly turned over, and the handwriting was indeed enlarged a lot, and the handwriting would become larger and smaller as he zoomed in and out.

"Your Majesty, it will really zoom in."

"You old man, give it to me quickly, I will come and see for myself."

"Ah, I can really zoom in, ah, the farther away the characters are, the bigger the characters will be, but if the distance is too far, the handwriting will become blurred."

"Looking at it like this will make the handwriting smaller. This is a zoomable mirror."

One master and one slave were having fun in the hall. This is what Yao Shoufu saw when he came in. The emperor was playing with a piece of glass like a child. When the emperor saw Yao Shoufu coming, he beckoned him to come and play together. So many people exclaimed, and after Yao Shoufu left the palace, he went to look for Gu Zhao, and wanted to order a magnifying glass from Gu Zhao. With this thing called a magnifying glass, it won't have much effect.

Yao Shoufu didn't know that his condition was called presbyopia, and Gu Zhao was thinking about myopia glasses and presbyopia glasses.

When the cabinet was dealing with government affairs in the palace the next day, Yao Shoufu happily took out a magnifying glass to read the booklet, which aroused the curiosity and onlookers of other ministers. As a result, it was impossible to see it. Looking from the side of the glass, the words on the booklet were so Big, Yao Shoufu is not the only one with presbyopia. If it wasn't for Yao Shoufu's identity, everyone else would want to grab this thing and use it.

After showing off for a while, Yao Shoufu said triumphantly: "I saw this good thing at His Majesty's place yesterday. I knew it was made by Gu Zijue at a glance, so I went to Gu Zijue's field for a walk."

"What? Come on, hurry up, go to Mr. Gu's place and ask for something called this for us."

"Magnifying glass, Gu Zijue called it a magnifying glass, and it lives up to its name."

"Yes, just this magnifying glass, go quickly."

So that day, the cabinet ministers each had a magnifying glass, and the emperor couldn't stop laughing when he saw it.

Yao Shoufu is the most proud. There is still one thing hidden in his heart that he has not revealed to others. He found Gu Zhao and chatted with him for a long time yesterday, knowing that Gu Zhao is trying to make something called glasses, which can solve the problem of some people. Yao Shoufu clapped his hands and applauded because of his short-sightedness and presbyopia. He was willing to cooperate with Gu Zhao. After the presbyopic glasses came out, he was willing to be Gu Zhao's first test subject.

Short-sightedness is short-sightedness, and old eyes are dim. It is not a description of people, but only a description of the presbyopia of the elderly. Things are blurred.

Yao Shoufu was the test subject for presbyopia, and Gu Zhao specially recruited a myopic scholar. Nowadays, there are not as many people suffering from myopia as in later generations. This kind of situation still exists among scholars, especially those who read a lot of books by dim candlelight at night, which is easy to cause myopia.

The scholar Gu Zhao found had a headache because of this short-sightedness problem, and he also spent money to see a doctor, but there was no effect at all. His myopia reached the point where he even turned a blind eye to acquaintances who greeted him from a distance. At first, it caused a lot of misunderstandings. Others thought he was too high-sighted and looked down on others, so they didn't know his difficulties.

Because Gu Zhao said that there is a way to solve his short-sightedness problem for him, the scholar came to cooperate with Gu Zhao without saying a word. Who is Gu Zhao?That is the person who made the cement and glass, there is no need to lie to him, maybe Mr. Gu can really cure his short-sightedness.

"How?" Gu Zhao asked, pointing to the paper hanging on the wall.
