Chapter 1283 Gentle Scum, I Like It

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanjing looked over curiously.

He didn't pay much attention to the glass workshop, it was just a small business for her.

What he cared about was arsenals, land and merchant ships.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, she made a huge profit of one hundred thousand taels.

This cannot be called a small business.

Zhao Yuanjing became curious about what she was fussing about.

Yun Dai opened the box and took out a pair of transparent... glass.

"What's this?" Zhao Yuanjing took it over and looked at it. There were two round lenses and a weird thin shelf.

"It's called glasses." Yun Dai took the glasses and put them on the bridge of her nose, "This is how they are used."

Zhao Yuanjing sized her up and said with a smile, "What's the purpose of being so weird?"

"It's for people with bad eyesight." Yun Dai said, "The emperor has seen people who can't see clearly after a long distance?"

"Yes." Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while, "When Junjun Wang was young, his eyesight was miraculously poor, and he couldn't see the appearance of the person on the opposite side clearly. His son is eight years old, and he is in the same situation."

"It's called myopia. His son probably inherited it from him." Yun Dai smiled, "Look at this lens, there is a thickness in the middle, which is actually a magnifying glass that imitates. It can magnify things in the distance so that the eyes can see clearly .”

"So amazing?"

Zhao Yuanjing took it over, "Show me."

Yun Dai took off her glasses and put them on his eyes.

Zhao Yuanjing looked at her and frowned: "I felt dizzy for a while."

Yun Dai sneered and said, "This means that your eyesight is very good, and you are not short-sighted."

Zhao Yuanjing hurriedly took off his glasses, and said: "So, if this mirror is worn by King Chun, he will be able to see clearly? How much does it cost in your shop?"

"From ten taels to five hundred taels."

"... so expensive?"

"It's not expensive at all. The degree of myopia is different for each person, and it has to be customized according to each person's situation." Yun Dai explained, "It's all hand-polished, and it takes a lot of work to make a pair. Naturally expensive."

"Then why are some worth ten taels, while others sell for five hundred taels?"

"The material is good, the appearance is good-looking, and the packaging box is expensive." Yun Dai said.

"This is more than fifty times the price?" Zhao Yuanjing shook his head, "Since the functions are the same, why do people choose the expensive one?"

"Your Majesty, you don't understand." Yun Dai took his glasses away, "This is called taste. We have a lot of rich people in Da Zhou."

"Why do you have money to buy this?"

"Follow the trend, compare."

"Follow who?"

"The Emperor's." Yun Dai opened another box and took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, "Look, this is a mirror frame made of pure gold, which can definitely highlight your high-end taste, the Emperor. As long as you bring it, give it to your courtiers." Let’s take a look, and of course someone will follow suit.”

Zhao Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "Give it to me? My eyesight is very good, I don't need this."

"This pair is not short-sighted glasses, but flat glasses."

Yun Dai unfolded the glasses, put them on for him, looked at them for a moment, then nodded, "Sophisticated scum, I like it."

Zhao Yuanjing blinked: "I'm not dizzy."

"That's natural." Yun Dai smiled, "This is only for decoration. I also want to sell sunshade glasses. Of course, I don't have this technology yet, and it is still under development. I will sell myopia glasses, reading glasses and flat glasses first. .”

Zhao Yuanjing took off his glasses and asked, "How much does this pair cost?"
