When the first ray of sunshine hit Chang'an City, everyone subconsciously looked at the sun. However, except for being shaken by the sun, they couldn't see anything clearly. They could only cover their astringent eyes and lower their heads.
"Don't look at it. You don't really believe the nonsense of the Mohist school! You actually believe that there will be a dog eating the sun today." a Confucian scholar in green satirized when he saw that everyone looked up at the sun.
A middle-aged rich merchant retorted, "this is Mohist, but he said at the ink technology exhibition that Mohist can even make rainbows. How can he deceive us?"
"Yes, the Mohist family has made a promise, but if the Mohist family has said anything, it has never broken its promise." a young man proudly said, obviously admiring Merton.
Even the scholars in Qingyi had the intention to refute, but they had to admit that everything Merton said had been realized. They argued: "how can the dog eat the sun compare with other things? I don't believe that the Mohists have the ability to spy on the will of heaven."
The people around could not help hesitating. Although they believed in mojiazi, after all, Tiangou's eclipse of the sun was too mysterious, and they had no confidence in their hearts!
Suddenly, a Hawking broke the deadlock. I saw a black Mohist child Hawking in the street: "the latest Mohist product, sun goggles, ensures that you can watch the dog eclipse all the way without hurting your eyes."
"Sun goggles! What is watching the dog eat the sun all the way?" the middle-aged rich merchant asked curiously.
"This gentleman, I don't know. This day's dog eclipse is the same as the day's dog eclipse. It can also be divided into five steps: initial loss, eating already, eating very much, light generation and reunion. Just because the sun's light is too strong, people can't see it with the naked eye. However, if you wear this sun protective lens, you can look directly at the sun and ensure that you can see the whole process of the day's dog eclipse without leaving a trace of regret." the children of the Mohist School explained.
"It's the same as Tengu eating the moon!" they suddenly realized that the moon can naturally look directly. They naturally observed the whole process of Tengu eating the moon. However, no one has ever observed the whole process of Tengu eating the sun, which naturally makes people itch.
"How much is a pair?" the middle-aged rich merchant asked eagerly.
"A pair of five hundred sunscreens," said the children of the Mohist school.
"So expensive?" the crowd was startled.
Five hundred Wen is half a dollar. It's not a small amount.
The children of Mohism had expected this reaction for a long time. They smiled and said, "this is the most professional and best eye protection. It is extremely rare and naturally expensive. However, if you are too expensive, there are sunglasses with poor effect."
The Mohist children took out a flat mirror with a big palm and put it in front of the people. They took out a cup of prepared ink and evenly applied it on the lens. They said, "if you apply the ink evenly, you can observe the solar eclipse. However, you can't look directly at the sun for a long time. You'd better have a five breath rest to ensure that your eyes are carefree. This lens only needs 50 Wen."
"Fifty Wen!" some wealthy families and ordinary people can't help but accept the price, and ink is also a common thing, so it's not too difficult to operate.
The Confucian scholar in green clothes looked at the crowd and couldn't help but turn his eyes. He deliberately broke down and said, "wait, who knows if there is a Tiangou eclipse today. If the Mohist school is wrong, isn't our money a hundred flowers?"
The Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi immediately gave everyone a meal. He hesitated. Although the lenses are much cheaper than protective glasses, fifty Wen is not a small amount. Naturally, they don't want to spend this wronged money.
The children of the Mohist School looked coldly at the Confucian scholar in Tsing Yi and said proudly, "only the Mohist school can make glass lenses in the whole Tang Dynasty. If there is no Tiangou food day today, the Mohist school will return all your money intact."
With the guarantee of the children of the Mohist school, people can rest assured that in Chang'an City, the reputation of the Mohist school is a lever. Naturally, people are not afraid of the Mohist School's default.
The Mohist children also said: "of course, if you don't want to spend money, you can also. Today's ink technology exhibition is open all day. If you have time, you can go to the ink technology exhibition in the south of the city. You can watch the Tiangou eclipse for free. However, there are too many people. You may only have a short time to watch it. If you buy Sun goggles, you can watch the eclipse all the way. You can consider it yourself."
"South of the city ink technology exhibition for free?" some poor people couldn't help but move. Fifty Wen is not a small number. Naturally, if you can save it, you can save it.
Some people with rich families naturally don't want to be crowded with others, just to watch a small meeting.
"Give me a pair of sunglasses!" the middle-aged rich merchant took out a piece of silver and said.
"Give me a lens."
"I want a lens, too."
………………
For a while, people with rich families snapped up one after another, and soon sold out a lot of money.
Seeing that the children of the Mohists soon sold a lot of money, the Confucian in Qingyi was jealous. The Confucian seemed bright. As long as he was not an official, he was very poor and had no oil and water at all. He added one piece of all the property of the Confucian in Qingyi and didn't have as much money as the children of the Mohists. How could he balance his mind.
However, what he didn't know was that such Mohist children were everywhere in the major cities of the Tang Dynasty. Merton had long arranged the Tiangou eclipse day, and the sudden reversal of day and night would naturally cause panic. If people observed the Tiangou eclipse day a little bit and accurately waited for the moment when the sun was completely swallowed, I'm afraid their fear would be greatly reduced.
This is also the reason why the sensation caused by Tengu's lunar eclipse is very different from that caused by Tengu's solar eclipse. People only fear the unknown.
"This is the protective lens that can directly observe the dog eclipse." Princess Changle picked up a dark sun protective lens and curiously put it on her eyes, but found that she could only see the scene five steps away, but looking at the sun was not dazzling at all.
Princess Changle has been very interested in ophthalmology since she developed eye exercises to treat myopia. This is also Merton's intentional guidance. He knows that many respiratory diseases are very infectious. He doesn't want Princess Changle to be entangled with diseases.
At the moment, Princess Changle specializes in ophthalmology except for the Qi diseases of empress changsun.
"Yes, my brother-in-law also sent us a pair." Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang proudly held a small number of sun goggles.
Although Merton was thousands of miles away, his practice with Princess Changle was not interrupted. Instead, a letter every three days was more convenient than one in the previous ten days. He had a heated conversation and mixed oil with honey.
Of course, I don't forget to please Li Shimin. This time, Merton sent sunglasses to the palace, and the princess and prince in the palace had at least one,
Li Zhi proudly put on his sun goggles and looked at the sun. Suddenly, he was stunned. He found that the sun, which was like a disk, seemed to be missing a side.
Li Zhi trembled and pointed to the missing side of the sun. He was surprised and said, "Tiangou ate the sun!"
