At this moment, the emperor was standing in front of a wide, tall and large mirror to tidy up his appearance.

Sun Kui stood behind the emperor, and saw that the emperor touched his chin for a while, raised his eyebrows for a while, and touched his face for a while, and his mouth still made exclamation sounds from time to time.

"I've never found out I'm so handsome."

"Your Majesty, you are the most handsome in the world." Sun Kui's sycophant shot was a bit perfunctory. Since His Royal Highness the King of Han sent this big mirror, every day before the court, the emperor will admire himself in front of the mirror, and praise himself for being handsome every day.

Why didn't he find out that the emperor was so ...... before? In the words that His Royal Highness the King of Han said before, the emperor is so stinky and beautiful.

After the next court, the emperor will also come to the mirror to stink and be beautiful. No, whenever the emperor has time, he goes to the mirror to admire his beauty.

By the way, the Imperial Study also has such a large mirror. This large mirror was specially ordered by the emperor to be made in order to appreciate his beauty in the imperial study.

The emperor also admired his beauty in front of the mirror, "The mirror made by this stinky boy is really good, and it can clearly reflect my flawless face." ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is really amazing, he actually made such a clear mirror." Some time ago, the glass and mirrors sent back by His Royal Highness King Han are really ...... It is not an exaggeration to be compatible with shocking the entire capital.

The glass is crystal clearer than the glass, more exquisite than the glass, and more colorful than the glass. When he saw it for the first time, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Before going to Lingnan, His Royal Highness King Han had already made a lot of shocking things, but I didn't expect that after going to Lingnan, His Royal Highness King Han made things that were more powerful than the same. By the way, His Royal Highness the King of Han has said before that he will do more things that will shock people's jaws. Now, His Royal Highness the King of Han has done it.

Some time ago, the emperor rewarded the ministers with some glass, but the ministers were very happy, and the ministers' jaws and eyes were shocked.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also knew that His Royal Highness the King of Han was very talented in making things, but they did not expect His Royal Highness the King of Han to make glass that was even more exquisite than glass. By the way, there are mirrors that are the same as those that look in the demon mirror. How does His Royal Highness the King of Han's brain grow, and how every time he makes something amazing.

Because of the glass and mirrors, His Royal Highness the King of Han, who seemed to have been sent to Lingnan by the emperor, became popular in the capital. Originally, because of the new salt, Zhao Yao's status in the hearts of the people was raised a lot. Now his status in the hearts of the people has improved a lot.

Whether it is the ministers or the people, they will be full of praise when they mention Zhao Yao. Especially for Zhao Yao's talent.

Zhao Yao himself did not expect that he had made good things such as new paper, new looms and quyuan ploughs before, but they did not convince the ministers of him. Before making new salt, he didn't impress the ministers with him, but he didn't expect to make glass and mirrors, but it made the ministers completely surrender to his talent.

After learning about this, Zhao Yao directly said "what the hell". Glass and mirrors are just the most basic things in daily life, and the new salt and new looms he made before are good things for the benefit of the country and the people, but the ministers do not care. In this regard, Zhao Yao was very puzzled.

"Second uncle, what do you say is going on in the minds of this group of ministers?" Zhao Yao was a little angry.

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao, who was huffing, and said with a smile: "Your talent has finally been recognized by the ministers, shouldn't you be happy, what are you angry about now?" ”

Zhao Yao smiled angrily: "Then I really thank them for recognizing my talent." As soon as he finished speaking, he said in a weird way, "It's really my honor, it's a great honor!" ”

"What's so angry about this?" He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao, who was full of anger and blue face, puzzled, "Don't you care what the ministers think of you." ”

"I don't care, but I'm still angry." Zhao Yao said angrily, "I have done so many practical good things that are beneficial to the society and benefit the people before, but as a result, they don't do the same thing at all, and they never admit that I, the tenth prince, are talented." Now because I made glass and mirrors, I am impressed, do you think I'm angry? ”

"It's very simple, in the minds of the ministers of the DPRK and China, the glass and mirrors you make are more in line with their hearts." He Lianfang said in a light tone, "And the things you made before are just not to their liking." ”

Hearing He Lianfang say this, Zhao Yao became even more angry.

"Can glass and mirrors compare to curved ploughs? They are nothing but beautiful waste, they actually like beautiful waste, they don't like the treasure that benefits the country and the people, are they kicked in the brain by a donkey? ”

"What good are the things you made for the ministers with the plough and the new loom?" He Lianfang asked rhetorically, "Do they use it on weekdays?" ”

"Just because they don't need it, they don't care?" Zhao Yao sneered angrily, "They can use glass and mirrors, so they think I'm very talented?" ”

"Or else?"

Zhao Yao angrily burst out directly: "Extraordinary@¥¥&&......"

He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao quietly, with a thunderous appearance. When he was done venting his anger, he kindly poured him a cup of tea.

Zhao Yao grabbed the teacup and said in a vicious tone: "I really want to smash the glass and mirror on the heads of those ministers." ”

He Lianfang: "Didn't you already know what kind of virtues those ministers in the court were?" ”

"I know, but I didn't expect them to be worse than I thought."

"The glass and mirrors you make are very popular with the ministers, and they don't suit your liking, so that you can make their money." It was the first time He Lianfang saw Zhao Yao so angry, and persuaded him, "Didn't your second uncle write to say that the list of custom-made glass from him was not full, and he received a soft hand just after receiving the deposit, what do you say are you angry about." ”

"Of course I am happy to make money, but I am very angry at the thought that those ministers prefer glass and mirrors to Qu Yuanli." The more Zhao Yao thought about it, the more angry he became.

"I said, what are you doing as an idle prince and a minister in the court."

"Second uncle, aren't you angry?"

"What am I angry about, what am I angry about." He Lianfang smiled and said, "I am very happy to see such a minister buying glass and mirrors from you. ”

Zhao Yao: "......"

"Okay, you don't care what the ministers think." He Lianfang comforted Zhao Yao and said, "Those ministers in the court should let your father worry about it." ”

"Also, what am I angry about." Zhao Yao said this, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"If you really can't get angry, just make the money of those ministers."

Zhao Yao felt that He Lianfang's proposal was good, "Second uncle, what you said is very reasonable. I'm going to have to do some beautiful garbage and squeeze their money bags out of it. ”

"That's right."

Zhao Yao was only angry for a while, and after venting just now, the anger in his heart decreased a lot. Now that I have calmed down, a touch of helplessness suddenly rose in my heart.

"Alas...... Although I have long known that the ministers of the DPRK and China are serving for their own future, not for the benefit of the people, ......" At this point, he did not say any more.

He Lianfang asked, "But what?" ”

"It's a little pathetic." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's me who is sentimental." ”

"Don't talk about the minister, let's just say that a few of your imperial brothers are really fighting for the throne for the people, and they are desperately trying to win the throne for the sake of power." He Lianfang said in an indifferent tone, "The vast majority of people in this world climb up for themselves, and very few for others. ”

Zhao Yao said with a dark expression: "I know." "It's because I know that I get angry.

"You'd better get the ironworks out of here."

"I'm going to visit the mine in two days."

"What are you doing in the mines?" He Lianfang frowned slightly and asked, "Something went wrong with the mine?" ”

"There was nothing wrong with the mine, I just wanted to go to the site and see it." There are several iron mines in Lingnan, and there is an iron mine some far away from Marsh Province. This iron ore is still relatively large.

"The mine is far away from the swamp mansion, and if you go, you won't be able to come back that day." He Lianfang reminded Zhao Yao, "Don't forget, there are still people who have been assassinating you. ”

"I just think the mine produces too little iron ore for me to use."

"Less?" Hearing this, He Lianfang raised her eyebrows in surprise, "The output of the iron ore near the Swamp Mansion is quite a lot, how much more do you want?" ”

"Second uncle, you can't look at the total amount, you have to look at the daily output." Zhao Yao said, "Before building an ironworks, I have to build a very large furnace, which requires a lot of iron. ”

"How big a furnace are you going to build?"

"I'm going to build a furnace that's ten meters high." Zhao Yao thought about it again and said, "If ten meters is not enough, then increase the height." ”

Although He Lianfang didn't know much about iron smelting, he was shocked when he heard the phrase "ten meters high".

"Do you need such a furnace to make iron?"

"I'd like to see how much iron can be smelted in a ten-meter-high furnace. If I practice more, it means that my idea is right, and I will increase it when the time comes. Zhao Yao thought of the situation in the mine, and his brows furrowed slightly, "There don't seem to be many workers in the mine, as far as I know, most of them are former exiles, so the daily output is not much." I'll go and check it out and see if I can improve efficiency. "He went to the mine to see if he could get a pulley.

"In that case, let the dark guard follow you well, and don't lose your life on a trip." He Lianfang kindly reminded, "There are many people who want your life. ”

Zhao Yaopi said with a smile: "Second uncle, thank you for the reminder." ”

"By the way, have you chosen the place?"

Zhao Yao didn't understand what He Lianfang meant for a while, and asked suspiciously, "What place?" ”

"Didn't you say that the place where you made your so-called thermal weapons would be kept secret?" He Lianfang asked again, "Have you found it?" ”

"I've found it, it's in the mountains to the south."

"In the mountains to the south?" He Lianfang was a little surprised by the location, "Isn't it safer and more secluded to have a swamp in the north?" ”

"It's dangerous to have a swamp to the north, and it will explode when the time comes." Zhao Yao said with a serious face, "The swamp has poisonous gas. ”

"And you said the swamp was useful?"

"It's useful, but it's also dangerous, so you have to use it properly." Zhao Yao said, "The swamp can come in handy in the future, but there is no rush to develop it at the moment." ”

He Lianfang didn't know what a swamp could do, but he didn't care about it.

"How much iron ore do you need for a thermal weapon?"

"A lot." Zhao Yao said again, "Don't say anything else, it's the gun I told you before, it needs a lot of iron." ”

As soon as the gun was mentioned, He Lianfang felt itchy, and couldn't help urging Zhao Yao: "You make two guns first, let me try them." ”
