Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 253 Everything is no longer a problem

Ying Zheng touched the mirror in his hand and tested the weight. He suddenly had a preliminary understanding of the mirror.

There is no doubt that the mirror in my hand can see people's faces more clearly than the bronze mirror, and it is definitely easier to take care of than the bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror I use, if the light is not good, the whole person is completely blurred, and I can’t see people clearly at all. At most, I can see where the outline is, and I must take care of it frequently, otherwise it will grow copper rust .

But the mirror in front of him obviously has no possibility of growing copper rust, and it is very convenient, and even Ying Zheng is sure that it can be made smaller.

In this way, it can be carried with you, which is extremely convenient. If it can be made bigger, then it is worth it...

"Prince, how is this mirror made? Have you started selling it?" Ying Zheng asked tentatively.

Ying Zheng straightly said that since the pre-Qin period, the bronze mirror has only been around for a hundred years, but compared with the mirror in front of him, it is simply a world of difference. The clarity of the mirror in front of him is really shocking. to sell...

Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, with a bewildered smile on his face, but his heart was open.

[Hehe, can't you tell, the old thing is eyeing my modern mirror making method. 】

[It’s a pity that even if I say it now, old people may not understand it. In this day and age, making glass is laborious, let alone using mercury as a glass coating. 】

[The general builder of the old stuff, apart from making weapons and some furniture, it is impossible to make glass or silver plating. Even if the labor and management tell him everything, can he understand it? 】

Zhao Yi's heartfelt voice was full of sarcasm, and Ying Zheng's blood pressure almost burst when he heard these taunts.

However, from Zhao Yi's heartfelt voice, Ying Zheng was keenly aware of some terms that he had never heard before.

What is glass?What is mercury?Why is it silver-plated again?Could it be that there is silver on this mirror?
Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Yi eagerly, and the people around him also looked at Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi felt a little helpless and could only spread his hands and tell the truth.

"Father, my lords, even if I tell you how this mirror is made, you can't make it!"

"I know." Ying Zheng suddenly said, "You just need to tell me what the principle behind this glass and silver plating is!"

Zhao Yi was shocked. He didn't expect Ying Zheng to explain the key technology of the mirror in one word. It seems that the black ice tables of the old things are really everywhere, and things like glass and mercury were investigated so quickly.

[Sigh, labor and management just wanted to use mirrors to play tricks in front of girls, but Nima missed the link of old things. 】

[Not to mention that the old thing would actually expose the matter of mercury and glass in public, what a mess! 】

[I have no choice but to pretend a little more. Oops, it’s so annoying! 】

Hearing Zhao Yi's heartfelt feelings, Ying Zheng was speechless, and told himself that it was his fault that you pretended to be coercive?

On the other side, the ministers and girls looked at Zhao Yi with curiosity after hearing Ying Zheng's words.

"Brother Prince, what is mercury? Is silver still made of water?"

"Yeah, and what about glass? Does the emperor mean that as long as you have these two things, you can make a mirror?"

"Your Highness, please tell us carefully. Is it difficult to make this mirror?"

Those who had dim sum machines were all excited. Everyone wanted to get the secret recipe for making mirrors and produce them by themselves.

In this way, if you give it away or sell it in the future, you will definitely earn a lot of benefits!

Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was an evil smile in his heart, but he said serious nonsense on his face, "As the emperor said, mercury and glass are indeed used to make this mirror."

"In fact, the principle of making a mirror is very simple, that is, to coat a layer of mercury on any side of the glass, and it is made."

"That's it?" Everyone was listening with great interest, but Zhao Yi suddenly stopped, leaving everyone stunned.

Zhao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yeah, it's that simple. In fact, sitting up in the mirror is nothing technical."

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was almost choked to death by his own saliva. The courtiers and girls present also felt angry for no reason. Looking at Zhao Yi's smiling face, he felt disgusted like never before.

"Brother Prince, you haven't said how to make mercury and glass, you are too perfunctory!"

"Yeah, at least tell me where glass and mercury come from, or where you can get them."

"If you only know how to make a mirror, but don't know the source of the raw materials for making the mirror, it's the same as not listening."

Regardless of everyone's complaints, Zhao Yi said with a smile: "Actually, I don't understand this. The master who made the mirror just passed away, and I didn't even have time to ask, so there is nothing I can do."

[Hmph, fight with me, you guys are still a little young, and you want to play tricks with me even with such a little knowledge, a bunch of idiots! 】

[Who are you all, who still want to get the method of making mirrors from me, am I that stupid? 】

[Just kidding, such a good way to make money, I don't fix it myself, I'll let you fix it, am I out of my mind? 】

Ying Zheng heard Zhao Yi's heartfelt feelings and knew that his little Jiujiu might not be able to succeed.

However, Yingzheng was not disappointed. The king of a country still has this kind of mind, but what the other ministers think is beyond his control.

[During this period, mercury should be something only Taoists like to play with, and it seems to be used most in funerals. 】

[Everyone is reckless. They don't know that mercury can be used as a mirror, and it can also be made into a thermometer to measure people's body temperature. 】

[Compared to the traditional Chinese medicine, the thermometer is much easier to use than a doctor, and most people can use it. 】

[As for the glass, there are too many uses. It is a must-have tool for windows to block the wind. When I have the glass out, I must replace all the windows of the Prince's Mansion with glass. 】

[I get angry when I look at these windows in front of me. Not only do they provide good lighting, they are also very easy to break and it is difficult to repair them. The most important thing is that you have to open the windows to see things. With glass windows, all of this is no longer the case. question! 】

Um?Ying Zheng's eyes were filled with shock after hearing Zhao Yi's thoughts. He didn't expect the two new gadgets he heard today to be so useful!

Mercury can be used not only as a mirror, but also as a tool for measuring body temperature, and ordinary people can learn how to use it.

In addition to making mirrors, glass can also be used as windows, and according to what Zhao Yi said, with a glass factory, not only can the room be well lit, but you can also see everything outside the window directly through the glass without opening the window!
