Chapter 245 Shocking Effect
"My mother, Your Highness, is this me?"
A voice came, and at the same time, Lu Tong's dirty face was reflected in the mirror.
Even bronze mirrors are a luxury in Dayu Kingdom, because bronze mirrors need to be polished repeatedly to make them look good. Naturally, this price is not affordable for ordinary people.
Therefore, ordinary people basically can't look in the mirror, and can only use water to see their appearance. The effect is naturally not as shocking as the glass mirror.
"Who else could it be if you weren't? Look, the booger is still hanging on your mouth, so don't wipe it." Xiao Ming said.
"Where?" Lu Tong took the mirror and looked at himself.
He buttoned his booger, then looked left and right in the mirror, staring from time to time, frowning, and having fun.
The students in the back had long been impatient, and said, "Let me see, and I want to see too."
Lu Tong couldn't stand the demands of so many people, so he handed the mirror to the students with some reluctance.
Immediately, the students fried the pot. You competed with me to grab them. They looked in the mirror one by one. From time to time, they heard, "I am so handsome.", "You are so ugly.", "My face has not been washed." class discourse.
Looking at the chaos of the crowd, Xiao Ming was slightly proud. It seemed that this mirror was going to become another sensational commodity in the Great Yu Kingdom after soap, fine wine, and perfume.
Lu Tong sighed and said to Xiao Ming, "Your Highness, this little slave really admires His Highness. How did His Highness come up with these things?"
When Xiao Ming heard the words, he lightly laughed twice, these are nothing, these things are just petty troubles, and the products that will shock the Great Yu Kingdom will only be one after another.
The students experienced the charm of mirrors one by one. At this time, Xiao Ming said to Lu Tong: "The rest of the glass will be handed over to you."
Lu Tong nodded and greeted the students. The students swarmed up and picked up the materials to produce mirrors in groups of three.
Xiao Ming was waiting for them in the laboratory. When the twenty mirrors were produced, he had someone paint a layer of black paint on the surface of the tin amalgam. This black paint came from lacquered wood and belonged to natural paint.
Xiao Ming did this to protect the tin amalgam surface from being damaged. At the same time, these mirrors will also be mounted in wooden frames and have exquisite shapes.
After all, goods also need to be packaged.
After taking the mirrors from the chemical laboratory, Xiao Ming handed them over to woodworkers to handle and mount them. These work continued for three more days, and 20 exquisite glass mirrors were officially born.
And when these exquisite glass mirrors were sent to Prince Qi's mansion, Ziwan and Luluo immediately fell in love with them.
"Cough, I said you two, it's been half an hour, why isn't it enough." The mirrors delivered this time were of different sizes.
Among them was a full-length mirror customized by Xiao Ming. The mirror was two meters high and fifty centimeters wide. This mirror was placed in Xiao Ming's bedroom.
Aster and Luluo came back from the textile workshop and saw this mirror, and immediately became addicted to it. After asking what was going on at this time, the two stayed in his bedroom and did not leave, and kept stinking.
"His Royal Highness, give us a mirror. This mirror is amazing. After using this glass mirror, how can we use a bronze mirror in the future." Aster came to Xiao Ming, shaking Xiao Ming's arm and acting like a spoiled child.
Luluo is still giggling in front of the mirror, as if she has completely forgotten everything outside.
Looking at the silly looks of the two of them, Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, but he still said solemnly: "This is not easy, you and this king can use one together, this mirror is expensive. "This king is very poor."
As soon as Aster saw this glass mirror, it was like a bee seeing honey, and there was no one in her daughter's family who didn't love beauty, especially maids like Aster and Luluo.
Therefore, Aster's eyes brightened, and her love for mirrors was revealed.
Xiao Ming laughed more and more happily, and playing with the two little maids was a rare pleasure in his life.
Aster worried and said: "Your Highness, that's inappropriate. If Pang Changshi finds out, he will definitely call us arrogant."
Luluo agreed: "Yes, yes, Pang Changshi is very fierce."
Xiao Ming rolled his eyes. He is not afraid of Pang Yukun now. He can still be tied up in a rebirth. He said, "It's fine to give each of you a mirror, but..."
"But what?" Aster and Luluo looked expectant.
Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and said a few words in the ears of Aster and Luluo.
The two of them were immediately embarrassed when they heard the words, but Xiao Ming left the palace with a big laugh.
When he came out of the palace, he went directly to the Chamber of Commerce. Now that the mirror came out, it was time to use the mirror to ease the money problem in the Qingzhou treasury.
This time he is optimistic about the future of the mirror, because there is such a record in the technology library.
When the contemporary French queen Marie de Mediben 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 fine glass mirror.
The factory of this mirror 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 secret of making mirrors.
Because of this, a mirror factory appeared in Normandy in France in 1666, and since then, the 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 the mirror Xiao Ming intends to make it the favorite of the aristocratic class of the Great Yu Kingdom, and let it be sold as a high-end luxury product, so that his mirror is equivalent to modern Rolex, Chanel, LV.
At the same time, this time, the back of the mirror is also engraved with Made in Qingzhou. Xiao Ming is creating a local brand in Qingzhou, the great Yu country, invisibly.
After arriving at the Chamber of Commerce with a mirror, Li Kaiyuan who got the news came to Xiao Ming like the wind.
"His Royal Highness, where is the mirror?" Li Kaiyuan said anxiously, looking impatient.
For Li Kaiyuan, every time Xiao Ming goes to the Chamber of Commerce, it basically means the birth of a new product.
At this time, Xiao Ming asked the servant to take out the mirror covered by the cloth.
"My mother." Li Kaiyuan took a step back when he saw the mirror. He thought that there was a person inside. After a closer look, he realized that this person was familiar. Isn't this himself?
In an instant, Li Kaiyuan was shocked. He almost looked at the mirror and muttered, "Your Highness, this time we are going to make a fortune again."
