Under the guidance of Yun Chao and through the unremitting efforts of Yao and his son, transparent glass was produced not long ago.
However, compared with the colorless glass of later generations, the glass fired in the simple workshop in Wolong Village still has a little light green.
It is similar to the glass from the 1970s and 1980s, probably because the ferrous iron ion impurities in it are not completely removed.
However, this little bit of green is innocuous. Everyone except Yun Chao was amazed.
Yun Chao fired glass not to sell glass, but deep-processed glass products were his main purpose.
For the first product, Yunchao chose the mirror.
Mirrors made of transparent glass are many times clearer than the bronze mirrors used in the Dawu Dynasty.
Yunchao himself would feel guilty if he didn't use such "luxury" goods to make money.
The mirrors made by Yunchao are mercury mirrors that have been eliminated in later generations.
Pour molten tin water on the flat glass, and use a slender roller to slowly roll the tin into a thin film.
Then pour mercury on the tin film to form an alloy of mercury and tin, and finally apply paint, and a mercury mirror is ready.
With a mercury mirror, is it possible to create a rainbow?
It is nothing more than a simple principle of prism refraction. Put the mirror into the water, and the reflected sunlight will show colorful colors.
In fact, if the bronze mirror is made bright enough, it is possible to reflect seven colors of light.
However, this kind of difficulty is too great.
First, the reflection of light by bronze mirrors is relatively weak; second, the bronze mirror itself has a certain color, and the reflected sunlight is not comprehensive.
Of course, the main reason is that the ancients did not discover this phenomenon.
Maybe, but it's not widely publicized.
Bronze mirrors are relatively expensive for ordinary people, and most people are reluctant to put them into water.
As for those rich people, they are generally not bored enough to put mirrors in the water and play with them.
Moreover, even if it is put into water, as long as the bronze mirror is not particularly bright, it will not reflect the rainbow.
Yun Chao could tell from Shopkeeper Wei's reaction that he didn't know that mirrors could reflect seven-color light in water, and his move really fooled him.
Therefore, Yun Chao's confidence increased greatly and he was ready to give Qilu Trading Company a serious blow.
Who told Qilu Trading Company not to respect martial ethics and want to take advantage of others?
Yun Chao didn't feel any psychological pressure to deceive Ya.
…
Shopkeeper Wei leaves quickly and comes back quickly.
Within five days, he appeared in front of Yun Chao again.
"Lieutenant Yunxian, I have already asked our boss. He is very interested in your Fengyue Baojian and wants to buy it for ten thousand taels of silver. I wonder if Lieutenant Yunxian is willing to part with it?"
Shopkeeper Wei's heart was pounding.
One is that the horse is tired from galloping all the way.
The second is that I am worried that Yunchao will not sell.
Shopkeeper Wei felt that it was not easy for him during this round trip.
Not only did he travel hundreds of miles, but he also used his sharp tongue to describe Yunchao's mirror as rare in the sky and unique on earth.
Even the well-informed owner of Qilu Trading Company was fooled by Shopkeeper Wei. If Shopkeeper Wei hadn't been with him for many years, he would have thought he had met a liar.
What can make a beautiful woman appear every detail, and her own temperament. She feels bad when the weather is cloudy, and she only turns into a rainbow when the sky is clear, etc.
Mr. Zhao felt that he was listening to a story, or that shopkeeper Wei had gone insane, or that he might have been bewitched!
After repeated trials and tests, Zhao Dongjia was sure that Shopkeeper Wei was not crazy.
For this reason, several famous doctors were invited to consult together, and a lot of money was spent.
So, Dong Zhao started to feel excited.
It’s not that he wants to collect some unique treasures, he just wants to give the Fengyue Treasure Book that Shopkeeper Wei mentioned as a gift to the person in the Bianliang Palace in Tokyo!
Seeing that the emperor's birthday is coming, as a royal family and with countless businesses under his command, the Zhao family must show something, and make a big show.
Every year when the emperor's birthday comes, what gift to give him is the most troublesome thing.
It was really difficult to choose something that the emperor would like but not fall into the trap of cliché.
If what Shopkeeper Wei said is true, and there really is such a magical treasure in the world, once the Zhao Dong family sends it to him, the benefits will definitely be huge!
So, Shopkeeper Wei came back.
It's still going fast and at full speed.
However, his quotation made Yun Chao shake his head.
"Shopkeeper Wei, do you think if I am short of ten thousand taels of silver and can't get it from anywhere, why should I use treasures passed down by sellers?"
"this……"
Shopkeeper Wei also knew that his offer was too low.
Ten thousand taels of silver may be an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
But for a county captain, and a county captain with Yun's Trading Company in his hands, it was nothing.
However, in business, they knew that Yun Chao's family heirlooms could not be sold at such a low price, so Shopkeeper Wei had to set such a price.
You can’t just quote a psychological price right from the start, right?
That's not how business works.
"Lieutenant Yunxian, I wonder what your psychological level is?"
Yun Chao was not polite to Shopkeeper Wei at all. Since you dare to lower the price to death, I can raise it higher.
"Shopkeeper Wei, we plain people don't speak secretly. I hate verbosity the most. The price is one million taels. You can take the Feng Yue Bao Jian now!"
Straight bitch!
Shopkeeper Wei cursed madly in his heart.
One million, why don’t you grab it?
It's just a mirror, no matter how magical it is, it's still a mirror. For one million taels of silver, do you know how many yellow-flowered girls you can buy?
"I'm here with sincerity. Please ask Yunxian Lieutenant not to joke."
Yun Chao nodded solemnly: "Shopkeeper Wei, I don't mean to be joking at all. Fengyue Baojian is my family heirloom. I would rather bear the reputation of being unfilial than sell it. If the money is short, it is really It’s not cost-effective, what do you think?”
Shopkeeper Wei wants to say that you are right. If I had such a son, I would kill him.
However, as a businessman, even if Yun Chao wanted to sell his own mother, Shopkeeper Wei would not persuade him.
There is no way, the businessman is so treacherous, who can I ask to explain to him!
"Lieutenant Yunxian, do you think this is okay? For fifty thousand taels of silver, our Qilu Trading Company owes you a favor. How about we make friends?"
Yun Chao shook his head decisively: "Shopkeeper Wei, as I said before, in business, friendship is friendship, business is business, and brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Human relations and business cannot be confused, what do you think?"
Shopkeeper Wei was really at his wits end and could only smile bitterly: "Lieutenant Yun County, just tell me, how much money are you willing to part with?"
Yun Chao smiled slightly and stretched out a finger: "One million taels!"
Damn bear!
Shopkeeper Wei wants to bite someone.
I've been talking to you for a long time, it's all in vain, you haven't lost even a tael of silver!
