One hundred taels? A price for family affection!
An uncontrollable heartache surged out of Zhang Dongxiang's chest, and the joy of the clear world that had just arrived was instantly diluted.
He felt as if he had turned into a fat sheep with its wool shaved off.
Crystal is indeed expensive, but these two small pieces of crystal can never be sold at the high price of one hundred taels!
Do you think it is a diamond! ?
"One hundred taels is indeed a bit too expensive, Lord Fang. Although I don't need this one hundred taels, you can't cheat me!"
Fang Zhengyi curled his lips and said, "One hundred taels is the price of one eye."
"........So it's two hundred taels per pair?"
At this moment, Zhang Dongxiang really wanted to reach out and take off his glasses and smash them on Fang Zhengyi's face.
You really treat me as a sucker, don't you?
I'll go back and find someone to buy some crystals and make them myself! This thing doesn't look that complicated...
"Two hundred taels is just the price of the lenses. It's a complete pair of glasses with the frame. A total of two hundred and fifty taels a pair."
"Don't think this thing is simple. It looks ordinary, but there are many tricks inside!"
"It is very difficult to polish crystal, and the frame is also very complicated. The places where it touches the face correspond to many acupuncture points, and the acupuncture points are also interconnected. As long as you wear it for a long time, it will have the effects of removing internal heat, relieving irritability, helping the voice and throat, nourishing hair, nourishing the five internal organs, calming the soul, dredging blood vessels, and brightening the ears. If you make a mistake, the health-preserving effect will be lost!"
"Really?!" Zhang Dongxiang was moved again at this moment.
"Of course it's true! Apart from other things, it definitely has the effect of clearing the liver and improving eyesight! Do you feel your eyesight is clearer now? Does your liver feel better too?"
"It seems so!" Zhang Dongxiang laughed.
The health-preserving effect is really attractive. The miraculous experience of seeing immediate results is worthy of what Fang Zhengyi said.
I’m already at this age...I just need a health-preserving magic tool like this!
"Give me a discount! You just said you would give me one."
"Hey, Third Uncle, we are all real relatives, how can I cheat you?! Didn't you just say you didn't want it?"
"Two hundred and fifty taels is not expensive at all! To put it bluntly, this material is only worth one tael, but knowing how to turn it into glasses is worth two hundred and forty-nine taels!"
Zhang Dongxiang had a conflicted look on his face. He took off his glasses and kept turning them over in his hands.
Good...it's really good stuff, you can't live without it once you use it.
But at the price of two hundred and fifty taels, I always feel like I'm being cheated.
Fang Zheng saw that the time was almost right and asked enthusiastically, "Do you think it's expensive?"
"It doesn't matter if it's expensive! You're my elder, so it's no problem for me to give you one! I'll ask someone to make another one and send it to your house later?"
Zhang Dongxiang was delighted and didn't care about anything else at this moment. He asked, "Really?"
"Really! But... I need you to do me a favor and help me promote it in the palace. Just say that I bought it for 250 taels."
Fang Zheng had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Zhang Dongxiang was in high spirits. He put on his glasses again and said happily, "It's a small matter! But...how much do you want to sell it for? Two hundred and fifty taels is indeed too expensive. I don't think others are willing to be the scapegoat."
Fang Zheng's face fell: "How can you call me a fool?"
"I'm telling you, this thing is limited in production! Not everyone can buy it yet. There are so many people with poor eyesight!"
"Since we are all officials in the same dynasty, I will give them priority in selling it! Besides, its health benefits are worth taking home as a decoration!"
"Also, I'll be generous. My uncles will all be sending me gifts! Please tell them when we get back!"
Zhang Dongxiang laughed in silence and nodded, "Okay! I accept your favor."
"But I warn you, it's not a good thing for you to make money so blatantly. From what I know, your Taoyuan County seems to be very rich, right? Why do you make so much money?"
Who complains about having too little money?
Besides, glasses will be sold to the public sooner or later, and are a necessity for many people.
Since it is a rigid demand, the price cannot be too high. However, according to the current level of lens grinding in Taoyuan County, plus the high cost of the store, the price of glasses cannot be low, and most people cannot afford it. If the price is set too low, the loss-making business is unsustainable.
Then it's just right to suck blood from you big landlords to subsidize the poor... and then the price of lens grinding industry will come down.
The dog owners have been passed down from generation to generation, taking advantage of all kinds of monopoly advantages to make money. We have no guilt in sucking a little blood from you with our technology.
Of course, this cannot be said openly.
Fang Zhengyi smiled bitterly: "Third uncle, I am not short of money, but I have been poor before!"
"If a person is poor once, he will be poor for the rest of his life psychologically, and he can't get rid of it!"
"You are from a noble family. I can't compare to you."
After hearing this, Zhang Dongxiang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although everyone in the court discusses how to govern the people every day, it is really difficult to understand the mentality of the poor.
At this point, his anger had subsided a lot. He was just embarrassed by the junior and didn't bother to talk to him because he was too embarrassed to do so.
After all, nothing serious happened, and he even got some benefits. Moreover, Fang Zhengyi gave him a pair of glasses as a gift.
Then there is naturally no reason for me to be so arrogant.
"I have a question that I want to ask you these days. Why are you so concerned about abolishing the stamp?"
After holding it in for a few days, Zhang Dongxiang still couldn't quite figure out what this matter had to do with Fang Zhengyi.
Filled with righteous indignation? He didn't think the person who was sneaky and cunning was that kind of person!
