Li Wenchong nodded: "Well, the emperor asked me to enter the palace for this reason. He secretly asked someone to investigate and found that there were many old ministers with eye problems in the court. It was because of this that Taifu Cao found an excuse to 'rob' the emperor."
Sun Li'an's magnifying glass... I was called into the palace later, and you sent ten magnifying glasses into the palace, remember?"
"Isn't Taifu Cao trying to teach the great emperor Li An a lesson?" Gu Qingling remembered what Li Wenchong told her when he came back.
Gu Qingling didn't think much about it. She thought it was normal for her husband to educate people and want to teach children a "lesson" or something.
But now it sounds like that’s not the case?
"Yes, that's what Taifu Cao said at the time. Didn't it overturn later? The emperor felt something was wrong and called Taifu Cao over for questioning. This time, Taifu Cao didn't hide anything and confessed to the emperor. If he hadn't confessed himself
World, who would have thought that when Taifu Cao confiscated the magnifying glass from the great emperor Li An, it was not for punishment at all, but because he took a fancy to his magnifying glass?"
Gu Qingling's mouth twitched.
Indeed, it is indeed a bit excessive for an adult to snatch a child's "toy".
"So later, the emperor sent people to secretly investigate the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government to find out how many people had eye problems. We don't know if we don't check the results. But when we checked, we were shocked to find that there were still a lot of people with eye problems. It's just that they
They are all hiding something and not exposing it."
Gu Qingling wondered: "Since there is something wrong with the eyes, how come I can't see it? Doesn't this affect normal life?"
"It's normal for people to work slower when they are older and have health problems. Besides, no matter what it is, they don't necessarily need to do it themselves. They can just follow a few subordinate officials and let them help. Read the memorial
, help me write something for them, and then check it myself... Their eyesight is just getting worse, it’s not really invisible, it’s just affected, it’s not like they can’t work at all.”
"So that's it. In fact, whether they have a magnifying glass or not, it doesn't have much impact on them. It's just that there is something wrong with the eyes. After all, there is something wrong with the eyes. They are somewhat uncomfortable." Gu Qingling said thoughtfully, "If there is no problem,
If there is a solution, then forget it, everyone can cope with it, but if they know there is a solution, they will definitely flock to find a way to solve it."
"Well! So the emperor discussed with me that before these old ministers heard the news and begged him, I would first borrow the craftsman's workshop in your hand to make a magnifying glass. In case someone really came to beg him later, he
I have nothing to kill." Li Wenchong said, "Don't worry, the emperor won't let you work in vain. Just give him a discount on how much money a pair of magnifying glasses costs."
Gu Qingling laughed: "Magnifying glasses are not worth much, they are all made of glass, it just takes some effort... The main problem is not this, the main reason is that the factors that cause eye problems are different for everyone. If you use one thing,
I’m afraid it won’t solve everyone’s problems.”
After saying that, Gu Qingling paused and said, "Well, I still have a few things in my hand. You can find someone to try it out and see how it works. If the effect is good, we will find someone to cooperate and open a glasses store near the capital.
Production plant.”
Gu Qingling dipped her fingers in tea and wrote the words "glasses production factory" on the table to let Li Wenchong understand which glasses she was talking about.
"Glasses? Mirrors for eyes? Is that what you mean?"
"Absolutely. The correct term is lenses for eyes, not mirrors, but lenses."
“Very appropriate.”
…
After a while, Gu Qingling asked someone to bring over several pairs of glasses she had collected.
"These are reading glasses, which are used by the elderly. The elderly have eye problems and are different from young people. The elderly generally cannot see the small print clearly and unconsciously tilt their heads back or hold the book further away.
You can see clearly, and as Feng's age increases, the distance he can hold will become farther and farther... This kind of presbyopia is common." Gu Qingling said, and handed the glasses marked "reading glasses" to Li Wenchong, "So,
This kind of glasses that are specially designed for this kind of glasses are called 'reading glasses', and they have convex lenses. You can try this kind of glasses on an elderly person."
"What about this kind?" Li Wenchong took the reading glasses and pointed to the box labeled "Myopia".
"This is different. The syndrome is insufficient Qi and blood. Long-term vision consumes blood. Blood is the mother of Qi. Insufficient blood and Qi are also deficient. Divine light cannot shine in the distance. The key points for syndrome differentiation are excessive use of eyesight and blurred distance vision. Liver
In the syndrome of kidney deficiency, the endowment is insufficient, the yang is weakened and the yin is exceeded, so that the light cannot reach far, so the vision is near but not far. Generally speaking, myopia is more likely to occur in young people who use their eyes improperly."
Li Wenchong was surprised. He really didn't know that in this world, there are not only "presbyopia" of the elderly, but also "myopia"?
Presbyopia can only be "far-sighted" and cannot see clearly when it is too close; while myopia can only be "myopic" if it is too far-sighted. The two are exactly the opposite.
Of course, presbyopia does not mean "farsightedness", it is still different from true farsightedness.
Presbyopia is simply due to the deterioration of certain functions of the eyes as we age, resulting in difficulty in seeing things that are too close.
There is no way to avoid the age issue.
But farsightedness is not necessarily related to age, there are other factors involved.
Gu Qingling had only scratched the surface of medical issues, so he couldn't explain them very clearly, but overall, Li Wenchong understood what was going on.
So, Li Wenchong gave Gu Qingling two boxes of glasses and went to find someone to try them out.
Although no one of the ministers in the DPRK is willing to admit that they have bad eyesight, there is no problem. Doesn’t Taifu Cao have "presbyopia"?
Li Wenchong didn't say anything and went directly to Cao Taifu.
"Taifu Cao, try this. This should be better than a magnifying glass." Li Wenchong took a pair of reading glasses numbered "1" to Taifu Cao.

Although Taifu Cao was a little surprised by Li Wenchong's arrival, seeing that the other party came for his own eyes, and thinking that Emperor Mingguang might have revealed it, he could only "accept it with a smile"
"Yes.
Taifu Cao didn't hold out much hope. After all, a magnifying glass was already a miracle. How could a second miracle appear so quickly?
Mr. Cao followed the instruction manual and put on his No. 1 reading glasses on his face.
"Taifu Cao, are you dizzy? Can you see clearly?" Li Wenchong stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Taifu Cao's eyes.
Although they are reading glasses, they also have prescriptions.
Li Wenchong didn't know the specific condition of Taifu Cao's eyes, so he could only use the smallest diopter and try it bit by bit.
Taifu Cao shook his head: "I fainted but I didn't fall down. I just don't know if I can see clearly."
Without Li Wenchong opening his mouth, Cao Taifu consciously picked up a small-print book and started reading.
It's still a bit difficult and I can't see clearly.
So, Li Wenchong replaced Cao Taifu with No. 2 reading glasses.
When Mr. Cao discovered that No. 2 reading glasses were clearer than No. 1, he gradually became interested and changed to No. 3 and No. 4. Unexpectedly, when he first changed to No. 4, he could see clearly?!
Oh My God?!
These reading glasses are actually useful?!
I was so pleasantly surprised that I quickly picked up No. 5.
It seems almost the same, I want to get No. 6 again.
Li Wenchong did not stop him, and smiled as he watched Mr. Cao try it out: "Taifu Cao, didn't you just say that No. 4 is already very clear? If No. 4 is clear, you can use No. 4. Although No. 5 and No. 6 are also clear, but the numbers are not clear enough.
The bigger the number, the greater the degree, and the greater the impact on the eyes. It is best to use the smallest number, so that the burden on the eyes is less and it can relax... It is just like taking medicine, the smallest dose can have the effect
The medicine that works is the best.”
These were all told to Li Wenchong by Gu Qingling, and he has learned and applied them now.
