Chapter 260 Treasure Tall, short, fat and thin, black and white, beautiful and ugly, including the greed that suddenly surges in some people's eyes, are all reflected in this huge glass mirror eight feet high and three feet wide.
It is not that there were no mirrors in this era, but the best of those mirrors were only made of bronze, only a few inches in size, and the figures reflected in them were not very clear.
And limited by the reflective ability of the material, distortion begins when the distance is slightly farther and the angle is slightly off.
It is impossible to reflect all the people around you like a glass mirror.
The biggest use of the mirror is to help women dress up next to each other.
And in any era, even in the last days when people lived on soil, there would be no shortage of stunning beauties in the high-walled courtyards.
Among the dance pavilions and singing stages, there is no shortage of wealthy people who spend a lot of money on beauties.
Therefore, after a moment of confusion, most of the vendors under the booth quickly realized the value of this item.
Some even couldn't hold it in anymore and rushed directly to the side door of Huaiyang Store, preparing to buy mirrors as soon as possible and sell them to all parts of the country.
Others grabbed their servants and ordered in a roaring voice, "Quick, come back with me to find the lady to get the money.
Get the gold.
Get as much as you can.
Buy, buy stock notes."
Once you pass this village, I guarantee there won’t be any shop like this.”
"Grandma, why have you forgotten this?
If you can't sell mirrors, you can't buy stocks."
As the saying goes, these words wake up the dreamer.
The onlookers around them covered their bags and purses and followed the first wave of people who woke up.
He rushed towards the side door of Huaiyang Store like crazy.
I am going to rush into the last time before closing today, exchange everything I have for the equity of the Huai'an company, and start making money tomorrow.
By this time, Zhu Bayi no longer needed to explain anything.
Unlike cement, soap, etc., he still needs to do some demonstrations before everyone can understand its use.
The excited faces in the mirror have demonstrated everything everyone wants to know.
Smiling proudly, he called over Yu Changlin and Zheng Ziming, and gave them the responsibility of dealing with the collaborators and shopkeepers.
Then with a brisk pace, Shi Shi left.
Let professional people do professional things.
This is an important principle he learned from the memory of another world.
When it comes to business negotiations with partners, ten of them combined may not be as good as Zheng Ziming, who was trained by a big family as a money rake since childhood.
Using various means to deal with the overt and covert opponents in the territory, he also considered himself far inferior to Lu Luzeng, who had been an official all his life.
As for military training and fighting, after all the superficial knowledge he learned from the other world was used up, he was slowly left behind by geniuses such as Xu Da, Hu Dahai, Wu Yongchun and Wu Liangmou.
As for reciting poems, writing poems, and writing fancy articles, if he didn't become a literary copywriter, he might not be as good as any old boy in this era who has repeatedly failed to succeed.
So, instead of causing trouble for others in areas that you are not good at, you might as well save some time and focus on what you are best at.
And what he is best at, besides six hundred years of historical accumulation, is probably the manufacturing of industrial products.
The soul of an engineering nerd from another world, although he unscrupulously gave most of his knowledge back to school, the twelve years of compulsory education plus four years of university engineering studies were not in vain after all.
Coupled with several years of actual combat at the grassroots level, it was enough for him to deal with most medieval industrial problems.
Therefore, when it was decided to resettle the more than 600,000 victims of the Yangzhou City as an industrial and commercial population, Zhu Bayi naturally thought of the two primary industrial products with the cheapest raw materials, cement and glass.
The former has an extremely wide range of applications.
Even if the quality cannot be compared with the industrial cement of later generations, at least it is much better than glutinous rice slurry mixed with clay in building city walls and houses, and the actual cost is not higher than the latter.
As for glass, Zhu Bayi immediately thought of it because of its wonderful "money path".
You know, even in the 21st century in another world, there are still shameless businessmen who regard high-purity quartz glass as "ice jade" or "artificial crystal" and can sell it for staggeringly high prices. .
If a product of similar level reaches the 14th century, there is no need to worry about the wealthy people chasing after it.
What's more, if he is really anxious, he can also ask Lu Luzeng and others to come forward to write a lot of fancy articles around this glass product, and then call it "feelings" Make gunpowder, make cement, make soap, make glass.
Looking back at the crowd who had fallen into a semi-crazy state, Zhu Bayi suddenly realized that he was walking more and more unscrupulously on the road of travellers.
However, at this moment, there was no fear in his heart.
On the contrary, there was more of a sense of pride that it was not in vain.

In the time-travel stories read by Zhu Dapeng in another world, any liberal arts student can become a literary giant by copying the masterpieces of later generations.
Any tactic can be used to fool scheming officials like Cai Jing and Yan Song.
I just made the perfect formula for black powder more than a hundred years in advance, and moved the glass mirror from Venice to Yangzhou at about the same time.
What should I be afraid of?
Moreover, many craftsmanships are actually just window paper for the skilled craftsmen of this era. .
It's just that someone needs to stretch out a finger to prick it.
However, he still spent a lot of effort in the production and manufacturing of glass.
This thing actually appeared very early in China, no later than the Han Dynasty at the latest.
It is not difficult to see it in the homes of the top wealthy people in the Yuan Dynasty.
But until the moment he started trying to make glass, Chinese craftsmen still had not been able to overcome the problems of glass discoloration and suppression.
Therefore, whether it is the imperial pot jade bureau or the folk medicinal jade kiln, what is fired is a ball of colorful glass blanks.
Not only is the color entirely determined by God, but the degree of turbidity is often disappointing.
Therefore, they can often only be carved into some expensive ornaments and furnishings, which are looked down upon by wealthy families and out of reach of ordinary people, making their status very embarrassing.
Zhu Bayi’s memories of another world don’t contain much about glass production.
But the basic context is very clear.
In addition to using the high temperature generated by coke to melt the raw materials more thoroughly, in terms of material screening, we also try to avoid quartz sand with more impurities, and use relatively expensive pure quartz stone, which is hand-selected in large colorless pieces.
Then grind it into powder and put it in the furnace.
Anyway, glass is destined to take the mid-to-high-end route in a short period of time, and a small increase in cost does not need to be considered at all.
As for the most difficult problems of removing turbidity and discoloration, we adopted the method used when trial-producing the artillery.
We gave a general direction and then led the craftsmen to divide it into multiple groups and practice it repeatedly regardless of the cost.
The raw material produced in this way regardless of the cost has a very light color of the remaining minerals, and its transparency is basically as good as that of the "big food glass" shipped from the sea.
It is used to press glasses, glass plates and other glass objects, and it basically meets the standard.
But there is still a certain gap between the quartz glass that Zhu Bayi knows.
As a result, he re-screened, classified and divided the dozens of formulas summarized by each group of craftsmen in practice.
The process that can produce colored glass liquid will be developed in a more colorful direction; the production process that is already close to the colorless glass of later generations will be improved.
In addition, white arsenic, a kind of quartz glass with high energy consumption, high pollution and high cost, which has been strictly prohibited for use in later generations but is widely circulated among three-no enterprises, has finally been released.
Due to the unstable quality, the part that is not pure enough in each batch is naturally returned to the furnace to make various types of utensils.
The parts that meet the standard are selected for use in making mirrors and other secret uses.
After several days of careful preparation, a perfect glass products exhibition was finally completed.
Having found his place of use again, Zhu Bayi was certainly refreshed.
However, only a dozen steps away from the booth, the old Jinshi Lu Zeng came towards him with a livid face.
"My lord wants to compete in the world with the skills of the Mohist family.
I am an old man who can't bear to serve around me.
I came here to beg my lord for his bones."
Before Zhu Bayi could take the initiative to say hello, a large number of old masters came to cover his face.
For people of this era, he who is over seventy years old is definitely in his twilight years.
Therefore, personal life, death, honor and disgrace are no longer taken very seriously.
The only hope left is to see how far the grandson-in-law he has chosen can go in this life, and what kind of glory and happiness he can bring to his granddaughter.
So during the recent period, Zhu Ba11 blamed himself, Su Mingzhe and others for all the big and small things, and plunged into playing with glass in the workshop.
The old master was very dissatisfied.
In his opinion, although artillery and muskets can push the Huai'an army's combat power to a level unparalleled in the world at the fastest speed.
But making weapons is still a small skill.
What can really be used to control the world is still the Confucian secrets that have been passed down from the Western Han Dynasty to the present and have been proven to be feasible by history.
However, Zhu Bayi just took out a small object from the guard's hand and completely lost the old master's temper.
It was a small object made of two pieces of top-quality glass, embedded in a frame made of tortoiseshell, with a shelf on the left and right.

Put it on the ear, and it immediately becomes another pair of eyes of Lu Zeng.
The external world that has been blurred for many years becomes extremely clear in an instant.
"These are reading glasses.
My grandson-in-law accidentally acquired them in the workshop and took them out to honor your old age."
Zhu Bayi said with a smile when Lu Lu was startled by the sudden clarity of the world in front of him.
Then, he quickly walked around the old master and walked away quickly
