Ming Dynasty: Huddled in Beiping and became the magistrate of the county. Chapter 164 of the text volume is preparing to build an academyLatest website: "How does Zhu Qing feel?"
Zhu Di stared at Zhu Fu closely, with a look of curiosity and a hint of expectation.
Zhu Fu shook his head vigorously, then took off the glasses on his head, quickly took two steps forward, approached Zhu Di's desk, and stared at the book carefully for a long time.
Then, he put on his reading glasses and stared at the book for a while.
Then he slowly raised his head, his face full of excitement.
"Your Highness, these reading glasses are truly a sacred object."
Zhu Di's face showed joy.
Zhu Fu's face was still full of excitement and he said: "Your Highness doesn't know that I am very old. I started to have drowsy eyesight a few years ago and am no longer young.
When reading some documents or books, the small words will turn into a ball of black ink.
Whenever this happens, Wei Chen needs to put documents and books at a distance so that he can barely see them clearly.
And when it's dark, no matter what kind of text it is, no matter how you read it, it will be blurry and unclear, which is very inconvenient.
And these reading glasses actually give Weichen a feeling of youth again. No matter how far or near, Weichen can see small text clearly."
Zhu Di quickly asked: "How does it compare with the Kuijing mirror?"
Zhu Fu said: "Your Highness, the mirror is far inferior. The mirror requires one to hold the mirror in one hand and read each word, which is very inconvenient.
With these reading glasses, you only need to put them on your head without any operation, and you can still see very clearly.
If His Highness could sell reading glasses to the outside world, I don’t know how many old scholars in the world would be grateful to Your Highness.”
Zhu Di's eyes brightened.
After saying that, Zhu Fu hesitated for a moment and said with some confusion: "It's just that these reading glasses always make Wei Chen a little dizzy."
"Dizziness?"
Zhu Di was stunned and looked at Guo An.
Guo An glanced at Zhu Fu strangely and said, "Why don't Zhu Changshi try a pair of reading glasses with thinner lenses?"
"Change one?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhu Fu's eyes.
At this moment, Guo An had already taken out another pair of reading glasses that looked exactly the same to Zhu Fu and handed them to Zhu Fu.
"Zhu Changshi, try again?"
"Thank you Guo Changshi."
Zhu Fu was not polite and directly picked it up and put it on again.
"Huh?"
Zhu Fu's face was even more overjoyed, he looked around, and then tentatively walked around the hall, already reluctant to take off his reading glasses.
He saluted directly towards Zhu Di and Guo An with their grateful faces and congratulations, "I would like to thank you, Your Highness, and thank you, Guo Changshi.
With these reading glasses, I no longer have to think about those glasses, nor do I have to look for a bright spot when handling paperwork every day."
"So good."
Zhu Di's face was full of joy.
Then, he looked at Guo An and said, "Guo Qing, since these reading glasses are so effective, has Guo Qing thought about using these reading glasses to invite those great scholars?"
Guo An couldn't help but look at Zhu Di, and asked with a serious face: "Your Highness, I am just a right-hand official of a small prince's palace, and I haven't achieved any fame yet.
Zhu Changshi was highly respected, and Master Daoyan knew many great Confucian scholars.
For this important matter, Your Highness should ask Master Zhu Changshi and Master Daoyan."
Zhu Di smiled slowly and said: "We remember that Guo Qing is a descendant of Guo Taishi, and Guo Qing's wife is a descendant of King Changshan of the former Yuan Dynasty. With Guo Qing, why should we abandon the near and seek the far away?"
"This?"
Guo An was stunned and asked directly: "If we compare our family background, the humble minister is nothing compared to His Highness.
Your Highness's father is the current Emperor, His Highness's father-in-law is still the King of Zhongshan, and several of His Highness's Confucian masters are today's great Confucian scholars. The humble ministers are naturally far behind."
"..."
Zhu Di was startled, then looked at Guo An with an incomprehensible expression, "Guo Qing, we certainly had several teachers when we were children.
But of those few, Guo Qing also knew that one was a master of the Five Classics and the other was Uncle Chengyi, both of whom have passed away.
As for..."
As he said this, Zhu Di thought of something and his eyes lit up.
"Speaking of it, I actually had a teacher when I was a child. He was promoted from an academic officer in Shaanxi Province to a student at the Hanlin Academy, and was specially appointed by my father to be our teacher..."
Guo An suddenly looked at Zhu Di with joy on his face, "May I ask, Your Highness, what is the position of that great scholar now? How old is he?
Your Highness has this teacher, which is a blessing to our Prince Yan Palace.
Wei Chen immediately ordered the craftsmen to make six different types of reading glasses for His Highness, and then used glass to make some tea sets and glass mirrors.
His Highness sent someone to deliver it to the great scholar. I believe that with His Highness’s connections, he will be able to invite the great scholar?
If the great Confucian cannot come here due to his official position, Your Highness can ask the great Confucian to invite several great Confucians, or send a few students to come..."
Guo An kept chattering. When he looked at Zhu Di again, he saw that Zhu Di's face was getting more and more embarrassed, and he subconsciously stopped.
"Your Highness, what happened?"
On the side, Zhu Fu also looked at Zhu Di with curiosity.
Zhu Di sighed slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Our teacher doesn't like to be an official and has retired and returned to his hometown."
Guo An was delighted, "Your Highness, isn't this just right?
Your Highness, you can also write to the great scholar to tell him that as long as he comes, your Highness can build an academy of one hundred acres, and also build a six-story library to collect classics from all over the world and put them all in the library.
In the pavilion, let the great scholar watch at will.
In addition, if the great scholar is willing, our Prince Yan's Palace can also provide him with a book and biography."
Zhu Di's eyes widened, "Build a hundred acres of academy and a six-story library. Is Guo Qing trying to hollow out my Prince Yan's Mansion?"
