Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 724 Glass Mirror

The lazy cicadas in the shade of the trees chirped from time to time. Shen Zheng scratched his forehead and looked at the character "人" on the drawing, lost in thought.

A few days ago, as soon as she had some free time, she discussed the trademark of Tongan County with Yu Shizhang and others. However, after they came up with several ideas, they were either dissatisfied with some of them or they were not realistic in some ways.

In the end, everyone was tired and could only think slowly separately. When they had an idea, they would write it down or draw it, and then get together to discuss it later.

Shen Zheng thought about it for two days but still had no clue. But when she saw the word "人" today, she realized that her previous thoughts were too complicated.

A trademark should be simple, beautiful and meaningful, but the most important thing when designing it is to express the meaning while causing resonance and recognition from others.

In Tongan County, whether it is Shen Zheng or Yu Shizhang and others, their purpose as officials is to seek benefits for the people and to bring happiness to "people".

What Tongan County does is also for the people.

so......

Shen Zheng slapped the table lightly, and suddenly realized, "People-oriented!"

People-oriented, people-based, people-focused, people-oriented, people-centered, people-oriented!

When inspiration struck, Shen Zheng didn't even bother to take off his gloves, he just picked up the brush and started painting.

After finishing writing, she blew away the ink stain, nodded with satisfaction, and avoided Liang Fu's inquiring gaze.

"What are you hiding!" Liang Fu couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know tomorrow." Shen Zheng folded the paper and put it in her arms, smiling: "Let's have another small meeting tomorrow to discuss the trademark style for the county."

"You have something." Liang Fu narrowed his eyes with certainty.

.......

It was past noon, and Mo Qingwan hadn't finished looking at the drawings yet, so he stopped by to have a meal.

But God is my witness, it was not that she wanted to eat for free, but the content was too much and too detailed, she didn't dare to read it quickly, for fear of missing out on important parts.

As she looked at it, she discovered that apart from the previous "人" character, there were a few other special things on the drawing.

——The walls in these places are empty, not used to hang clothes or wall lamps.

If it were in other cloth shops, this phenomenon might not be considered special, but in Tongan Cloth Shop, it became unreasonable, because Lord Shen had said before - "The walls of a cloth shop should not be left empty."

She didn't quite understand what Mr. Shen meant by "spatial level", but she knew that empty walls would make the entire store look monotonous and deserted.

Looking at the empty walls on the drawing, Mo Qingwan couldn't suppress the doubts in her heart. She could only hold the drawing and asked Shen Zheng softly: "My Lord, I don't understand why these walls are... empty?"

Shen Zheng stared at the glass in her hand intently, with a smile on her face, and asked her, "After you get dressed, do you look at yourself in the mirror? Check your makeup, clothes, and whether they are suitable for the occasion."

There was no need to think about this question carefully. Mo Qingwan answered directly, "Yes."

In fact, regardless of gender, anyone who cares about their appearance will want to look in the mirror after washing and dressing up.

Not to please others, but to please myself.

Could it be...

Mo Qingwan immediately understood Shen Zheng's intention, "My Lord, do you want to place bronze mirrors in these places?"

But in a moment, she discovered the problem.

Since it is a dressing mirror, its size must not be small, and it must be able to reflect at least most of the body.

But in this way......

Mo Qingwan looked worried, "Sir, if this continues, the money we invested in the bronze mirror will exceed the decoration of the entire cloth shop."

An ordinary palm-sized bronze mirror is not too expensive, and ordinary people can afford it if they grit their teeth.

But the full-body bronze mirror is different.

Judging from the production process, the production process of a full-body bronze mirror is several times more complicated than that of a palm-sized bronze mirror, and the costs of manpower, material resources, etc. invested are difficult to estimate.

Only a few nobles, wealthy businessmen or officials could afford and use full-body bronze mirrors.

Even the wealthy Mo family did not have a complete full-body bronze mirror. It was not that they could not afford it, but it was not cost-effective to spend a lot of money to buy bronze.

——If you want to take a full-body picture, just let the maid hold the bronze mirror and look at it slowly from top to bottom.

Shen Zheng knew very well how expensive the large bronze mirror was.

She is such a...thrifty person, there is no way she would buy a bronze mirror.

Moreover, a poorly polished bronze mirror would make people's reflections look distorted, so Shen Zheng never thought of placing a bronze mirror in the cloth shop.

"There is no place for bronze mirrors here." Shen Zheng took the blueprint, tapped those places with his fingers, and said directly: "After processing, the colored glaze can also be used to reflect people, but the process is extremely complicated, so I am still in the exploratory stage."

Compared with the clear glass mirror, the bronze mirror is not very convenient to use.

However, the process of glass coating is complicated, and the simpler mercury is harmful to the human body. Therefore, to this day, Shen Zheng is still thinking about how to coat it before going to bed.

Hearing this, Mo Qingwan opened his mouth slightly, and his gaze shifted slightly, stopping on the small piece of glass on the table.

Glass...

Can it illuminate people?

Seeing this, Shen Zheng picked up a small piece of oiled glass and placed it in front of Mo Qingwan.

"It's not coated yet, but glass can also refract. Look carefully, can you see yourself on it?"

After a moment of pause, Mo Qingwan's eyes gradually focused and his gaze finally fell on the small piece of glass.

Under the sunlight, it was clearly translucent and crystal glass, but a pair of eyes were faintly printed on the surface.

Those eyes were not unfamiliar to her.

Slightly folded eyelids, large black pupils, and slightly upturned eye corners.

These are her own eyes, on the glass, vague yet... clear.

Mo Qingwan was shocked by this realization, and subconsciously looked away, moving his back half an inch back.

"How is it?" Shen Zheng picked up the glass and pointed it at himself, saying unsatisfactorily, "It's still too blurry, just like looking at a mirror on the water. But don't look at it like this now. If it has a suitable coating, it can be several times clearer than a bronze mirror. I have an idea right now, but I don't have time to test it."

Liang Fu pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, and then sucked his teeth quietly.

When Shen Zheng told him about this that day, he had only one thought - future bronze mirror craftsmen would probably hate Shen Zheng very much.

Ugh--

This is the change.

but......

Glass mirror, he was simply curious.

After they have made the glasses, the first thing they will tinker with is the glass mirror!

Mo Qingwan was still recovering from the shock brought by the glass mirror and did not notice a man running into the printing house, panting.

It was clearly a spring day, but the other person's forehead was covered in sweat, and strands of hair were stuck to his forehead, looking crooked.

Shen Zheng's ears moved slightly and she turned her head to look.
