Steel Dynasty - Chapter 245

[Chapter 245 Shocking Effect]

“My mother, Your Highness, is this me?”

a voice came, and at the same time Lu Tong’s somewhat dirty face was reflected in the mirror.

Even bronze mirrors are a kind of luxury goods in the Chongqing Kingdom, because bronze mirrors need to be polished repeatedly before they can be seen and appreciated. Naturally, the price is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Therefore, ordinary people basically cannot look in the mirror and can only use water to see how they look. The effect is naturally not as shocking as this glass mirror.

“Who else could it be if I weren’t you? Look, the booger is still hanging on your mouth and you haven’t wiped it off.” Xiao Ming said.

“Where?” Lu Tong took the mirror and looked at himself.

He popped his boogers, then looked left and right in the mirror, glaring from time to time and squeezing his eyebrows, having a great time.

The students behind him had long been impatient and said, “Let me see it, I want to see it too.”

Lu Tong couldn’t stand the requests of so many people, so he reluctantly handed the mirror to the students.

Suddenly the students were in a frenzy, fighting for each other. They looked at each other in the mirror, and from time to time they heard, “I’m so handsome.”, “You’re so ugly.”, “My face hasn’t been washed yet.” kind of discourse.

Looking at the commotion of everyone, Xiao Ming was slightly proud. It seemed that this mirror would become another sensational product in the Great Chongqing after soap, wine, and perfume.

Lu Tong sighed and said to Xiao Ming: “Your Highness, I really admire you. How did your Highness come up with these things?”

Xiao Ming heard this and smiled softly. These are nothing, these things are just small things. Just to make a fuss, in the future, the products that shock the country of Chongqing will only come one after another.

The students experienced the charm of the mirror one by one. At this time, Xiao Ming said to Lu Tong: “The rest of the glass will be left to you.”

Lu Tong nodded and greeted the students, and the students swarmed up, one after another. Pick up the materials and work in groups of three to produce a mirror.

Xiao Ming was waiting for them in the laboratory. After the twenty mirrors were produced, he had someone paint a layer of black paint on the surface of the tin amalgam. This black paint comes from lacquered wood and is a natural paint.

Xiao Ming does this to protect the tin amalgam surface from damage. At the same time, these mirrors will also be mounted in wooden frames and have exquisite shapes.

After all, products also need packaging.

Xiao Ming took the mirrors away from the chemistry laboratory and handed them over to carpenters for framing. This work lasted for another three days before twenty exquisite glass mirrors were officially born.

And when these exquisite glass mirrors were delivered to Prince Qi’s Mansion, Aster and Lulu immediately fell in love with them.

“Ahem, let me tell you, you two have been looking at each other for half an hour, but it’s still not enough.” The mirrors delivered this time were of different sizes.

Among them is a full-length mirror customized by Xiao Ming. The mirror is two meters high and fifty centimeters wide. This mirror is placed in Xiao Ming’s bedroom.

Aster and Luluo came back from the textile workshop and saw the mirror, and they were immediately fascinated by it. After asking what was going on at this time, the two of them stayed in his bedroom and kept looking good.

“Your Highness, give us a mirror. This mirror is so magical. After using this glass mirror, how can we use bronze mirrors in the future.” Zi Wan came to Xiao Ming and shook Xiao Ming’s arm in a coquettish manner.

The girl Luluo was still smiling in front of the mirror, seeming to have completely forgotten everything outside.

Looking at the silly look of the two of them, Xiao Ming’s eyes narrowed into crescent moons, but he still said seriously: “This is not simple. You and I can just use one together. This mirror is expensive to make.” “The king is very poor.”

When Zi Wan saw this glass mirror, she was like a bee seeing honey. There is no daughter in the family who doesn’t love beauty, especially maids like Zi Wan and Pothos.

Therefore, Aster’s eyes became brighter and brighter, and her love for mirrors was fully revealed.

Xiao Ming smiled even more happily. Playing with the two little maids was a rare pleasure in his life.

Zi Yuan said worriedly: “Your Highness, that is so inappropriate. If Pang Changshi finds out, he will definitely scold us for being arrogant.”

Luluo echoed: “Yes, yes, Pang Changshi is very cruel.”

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. He was not afraid of Pang Yukun now. He would have to be tied up in the next life. He said, “It’s fine to give you each a mirror, but…”

“But what?” Aster and Lulu looked expectant. color.

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, with a smirk on his lips, and said a few words in Aster and Luluo’s ears.

The two of them were immediately ashamed when they heard this, but Xiao Ming laughed and left the palace. This night was going to be a happy night.

After leaving the palace, he went directly to the Chamber of Commerce. Now that the mirror came out, it was time to use the mirror to alleviate the money problem in Qingzhou’s treasury.

This time he was very optimistic about the prospect of mirrors because there was such a record in the technology library.

When the contemporary French Queen Marie de Medici got married, the King of Venice gave her a small glass mirror as a gift. The value of this glass mirror was as high as 150,000 francs. The reason why the mirror was so expensive was that at that time, there were only Venice would make this beautiful glass mirror.

The mirror manufacturing factory was located on the isolated island of Mulano. At that time, France even used despicable means to secretly kidnap several mirror technicians in order to obtain the secrets of making mirrors.

Because of this, a mirror factory appeared in France in Normandy in 1666. Since then, glass mirror manufacturing technology began to spread in Europe.

At that time, the gold content of the franc was 0.3 grams, and the high price of 150,000 francs showed the high value of the mirror at that time.

Therefore, this time, Xiao Ming plans to make the mirror the favorite of the aristocratic class in the Chongqing Kingdom and sell it as a high-end luxury product. In this way, his mirror will be equivalent to modern Rolex, Chanel, and LV.

At the same time, this time there is also “Made in Qingzhou” engraved on the back of the mirror. Xiao Ming is invisibly creating the local brand of Qingzhou, the country of Chongqing.

After bringing the mirror to the Chamber of Commerce, Li Kaiyuan arrived in front of Xiao Ming like the wind after receiving the news.

“Your Highness, where is the mirror?” Li Kaiyuan said anxiously, looking impatient.

For Li Kaiyuan, every time Xiao Ming went to the Chamber of Commerce, it basically meant the birth of a new product.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked the servant to take out the mirror that was covered with cloth.

“My mother.” The moment Li Kaiyuan saw the mirror, he was so frightened that he took a step back. He thought there was a person in it. After taking a closer look, he realized that this person was somewhat familiar. Isn’t this him?

Suddenly, Li Kaiyuan was shocked. He almost looked in the mirror and murmured: “Your Highness, this time we are going to make a fortune again.”
