Chapter 266

In the East China Sea, an old man in green came to a small fishing village and stopped. The old man has nothing but a flute at his waist and a jar of wine in his hand.

Looking at some dilapidated villages, the old man's eyes are filled with emotion and nostalgia, as well as recalling the fleeting years of passing water.

In a twinkling of an eye, so many years have passed.

"I'm afraid in a few years, the village will no longer exist."

The old man stood outside the village for a long time, turned and walked towards a nearby grove, but he stopped after a few steps.

"Come out!" The old man murmured.

As the old man's voice fell, two men in coarse clothes came out of the woods in front. They had the same face, the same height, strong body, bald head and a simple look. Looking at their faces alone, they felt like simple men in the mountains.

However, the long knife on their shoulders filled them with a sense of awe.

"The eighth in the world is Lu Pinghai. My brothers have been waiting for a long time." The two men spoke at the same time, and their voice was a little muffled.

Lu Pinghai looked at the two, his eyes and eyebrows motionless.

The ancient people rarely appeared in several other countries. They specially came here. I don't know who they were ordered to serve.

"Your Majesty said that he would change a Lingyuan pill with you, and the conditions are up to you." The two continued.

Sure enough.

Lu Pinghai suddenly realized that it was Qi Zixiao.

"Tell Qi Zixiao that I don't want anything. Go back." Lu Pinghai shook his head.

"Your Majesty said, if you don't agree, I'll come to you myself." They said, the female emperor's words are actually you. If you don't give it, you'll kill you.

But if he said so, Lu Pinghai would turn his face on the spot.

No matter what, it is also the eighth in the world. How can other people be so threatening.

"Then let Qi Zixiao come to me." Lu Pinghai laughed and went straight through them without even looking at them.

Although Qi Zixiao is the fifth in the world and has the ninth Hongwu in the world, he doesn't have to be afraid of them.

As the eighth in the world, I must have my own confidence. No, who knows what will happen?

Qi Zixiao used to be the seventh. Didn't he also kill the fifth flower sanliu?

I don't have any cards.

"Lu Pinghai, do you really want to offend our majesty for a Lingyuan pill?" They turned around with their hands on the knife.

"Qi Zixiao is powerful, but she won't let me give my things to others in a word. For Qi Zixiao's sake, let you two leave today. Don't live or die." Lu Pinghai snorted coldly and threw his sleeve behind him. Suddenly, his sleeve stretched a few meters like a spirit snake and rolled directly on the handle of their knives.

"Qiang!" The two men took out their long knives and cut them to their sleeves. Not enough, there was a sudden strong push on the sleeves, and the two long knives cut directly to their necks.

"Roar!" The two men lowered their heads at the same time, cut each other's sleeves on the handle of each other's knives alternately, and then directly cut an empty space.

The sleeve loosened the handle of the knife like a living creature, and hit them on the chest with a heavy blow. Their bodies couldn't stop back. They stopped after withdrawing seven or eight steps, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

"Eh?" Lu Pinghai said softly, even a master who had just entered Shenlun level could not take the blow, let alone directly hit his chest, and they could still stand there.

Only the two people sent have this strength. The ancient clan is really rich in experts.

"It's not easy to practice. Let you go today." Lu Pinghai left a word and disappeared into the forest.

The two looked at each other, turned and left.

Since they are not his opponents, they have to go back and tell the general what Lu Pinghai refused.

Lu Pinghai went into the woods, went directly to his place, and finally sat down in a vacant lot.

My old friend has lived here for decades. Now he can't even find the grave.

But that's good. No one bothered him.

I know where he lives with my eyes closed.

"I came back to see you again..." Lu Pinghai opened the wine gourd, took a sip and sprinkled some on the ground.

……

Ren 8000 looked at the silver mirror in his hand and several craftsmen and Jiaozuo with an expression of appreciation in front of him, "how many days did you make such a silver mirror reaction? How stupid are you? The black faced man is smarter than you!"

Black faced Lang is the name of wild boar.

"Two days!"

Ren 8000 squinted at the craftsman who answered.

"Even for a black faced man, these things can be made in two days."

Several people shrugged their heads and listened to the training silently. A row of tall men stood there with their heads down like a wall.

Ren 8000 rambled for a long time. Finally, he said, "each person will reward twelve liang of silver, and the monthly case will be increased by one level."

Although these people are hopelessly stupid, they have done it anyway. Scold and reward when you should scold.

"Thank you, sir!" The crowd immediately put on a smile.

Ten liang of silver is the highest monthly standard for them for more than two months, and the monthly standard is increased by one level, which is a lot of money.

"Let's all go down." Ren 8000 asked the craftsman to go down first, and then ordered Jiaozuo to do the main things next.

At this time, the most important is concave mirror and flat mirror, which are used to make solar furnace. After these things are completed, the damoshan iron mine can be sold to other countries through the caravan.

For the next period of time, Ren 8000 went to the glass factory every morning, returned to the palace at noon and practiced martial arts in the afternoon.

After the glass and silver plating were solved, it went well. Although the production speed of the glass factory is not fast at present, it is much faster than at the beginning. The proportion of materials has been found, and the number of problems is less and less. The concave mirror and silver mirror made a week later have filled the two rooms.

Then Ren 8000 took people to make square shelves with wood and vines in the glass factory every day, and the shelves were also concave.

Then fix the mirror on it.

A few days later, at noon, a team of hundreds of people came out of Lan City and went straight to the glass factory outside the city.

But instead of entering the newly-built brick house, I went to an open space next to the glass factory.

At this time, there stood a wooden platform, on which a huge shelf six meters high and twelve meters wide stood. A concave mirror was fixed on it. From a distance, it was white and could not open people's eyes. Many people put their hands on their eyes to block the white light.

The female emperor got down from the chariot. Behind him were six senior officials, including Shi Qing, discount sea, Tuwan, tongzhenye and Qinchuan. As long as there was nothing, they were pulled by the female emperor.

Everyone also guessed what the empress wanted to see when she called so many people.

At this time, seeing the tall shelf and some distorted scenery reflected in the concave mirror above, Shi Qing, discount sea, copper Zhenye and others immediately knew what it was and actually made it. They just didn't know whether it was like what Ren Fucheng said. If so, it would be a great joy.

Others looked at the large mirror in front with a novel face.

"Is that a mirror?"

"I don't know what it is made of. It's not like a bronze mirror. It's so bright."

"But it doesn't move right. Look at the stones in the mirror. They are deformed."

"Hey, look at the man reflected in the mirror. He is so short that he laughs to death."

The empress looked at a large mirror in front of her and looked at it for a moment before she said to Ren 8000, "you can start."

Ren 8000's expression is very relaxed. After such a long time, he finally made this. Now is the time to show.

I hope those fools don't screw up.

As he said hello, the 30 guards he arranged on weekdays ran to one side, carried out 30 mirrors two meters long and one meter high, and then put them down on the ground facing the shelf.

Then someone brought out an iron pillar four meters long and thick at the mouth of the bowl and stood on the ground.

Ren 8000 went to the front of the thirty flat mirrors, adjusted the angle of one of them, reflected the light of the sun on the concave mirror on the shelf, and then shone on the upper end of the iron column after the concave mirror was focused.

As he adjusted the angle, others began to adjust with his actions. Ren 8000 helped everyone adjust the mirror from time to time.

At first, many people put their eyes on him, but as the female emperor and Shi Qing stared at the top of the iron pillar, more people also cast their eyes on him and wondered what they could see.

But immediately, they were startled.

The top of the iron pillar suddenly caught fire for no reason.

You know, this is an iron pillar. Everyone is not blind. Judging from the steps and standing up of the iron pillar, it must be an iron pillar. But how could the iron pillar catch fire?

What surprised everyone even more happened. The top of the iron column was not only on fire, but also melting, and the dark red molten iron flowed down the column.

Soon, the top of the iron column was missing.

Not only those who saw it for the first time were shocked, but even Shi Qing and others were surprised.

Last time it was just a disc, burning a hole in the steel knife.

Now it is more difficult than ten times to melt the thick iron bar directly.

Therefore, when they saw the effect in person, several people were shocked.

"The old minister congratulated his majesty and me. It's a great achievement for Ren Fu Cheng to do this. I won't be worried about iron shortage in a hundred years." Shi Qing said loudly with a happy face.

With his opening, everyone reacted and said congratulations to his majesty.

Although they didn't know what was going on, they could see that the thick iron pillar at the mouth of the bowl was melted directly.

In that case, there will be a steady flow of refined iron ore in damoshan iron mine soon, and there will be no need to be trapped in the shortage of ordnance. This is really a happy thing, a great happy thing.

And Ren 8000, the most meritorious man in this matter, has also improved some positions in the hearts of many people.

Before, his majesty said that he wanted to run an institution of higher learning. His family had ordinary gifted disciples who could be sent in. They didn't take it too seriously. Many people didn't even consider it.

Later, your majesty asked and said that although the disciples in the family were not talented enough, they could practice martial arts wholeheartedly.

But for now, he really has some skills.

If there are gifted disciples at home, it's better to send them to see what they can learn.
