The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

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

Sun Kui stood behind the emperor and saw the emperor touching his chin, raising his eyebrows, and touching his face, while making exclamations from time to time.

"I have never realized that I look so handsome."

"Your Majesty, you are the most handsome in the world." Sun Kui's flattery was a bit perfunctory.Since His Highness the King of Han Dynasty sent this big mirror, the emperor would admire himself in front of the mirror every day before going to court, and praise himself for his beauty every day.

Why hadn't he noticed that the emperor was so... to use what His Highness the King of Han had said before, the emperor was so stinky and beautiful?

After going to court, the emperor would come to look good in front of the mirror.No, the emperor went to the mirror to admire his beauty whenever he had free time.

By the way, the imperial study also has a large mirror like this.This large mirror was specially made by the emperor in order to appreciate his own beauty in the imperial study.

The emperor was still admiring his beauty in front of the mirror, "The mirror made by this brat Xiao Shi is really good. 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 His Highness the King of Han sent back were so... that it would be an exaggeration to say that they shocked the entire capital.

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

Before going to Lingnan, His Highness the King of Han had already made many shocking things. Unexpectedly, after going to Lingnan, the things His Highness the King of Han made would become more powerful than the others.By the way, His Highness the King of Han has said before that he will make more jaw-dropping things.Now, His Highness the King of Han has done it.

Some time ago, the emperor rewarded the ministers with some glass, which made them very happy and shocked their jaws and eyes.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also knew that His Highness the King of Han was very talented in making things, but they did not expect that His Highness the King of Han could actually make glass that was even more exquisite than Liuli.By the way, there is also a mirror that is the same as the demon mirror.How is His Highness the King of Han’s brains so big? Why is it that every time he makes something, he is astonishing to the heavens.

Because of the glass and mirror incident, Zhao Yao, His 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 incident, Zhao Yao's status in the minds of the people had improved a lot.Now his status in the hearts of the people has improved a lot.

No matter whether it is ministers or common 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 new paper, new looms, curved plows and other good things in the past, but he had not convinced the ministers.The new salt he made before did not impress the ministers, but he did not expect to make glass and mirrors, which 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, but the new salt and new looms he made before are good things that benefit the country and the people, but the ministers didn't take it seriously.Zhao Yao was very puzzled by this.

"Second uncle, what do you think these ministers are thinking?" Zhao Yao was a little angry.

He Lianfang looked at the angry Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "Your talent has finally been recognized by the ministers. Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you angry now?"

Zhao Yao smiled angrily and said, "Then I really thank them for recognizing my talent." Just after he finished speaking, he said angrily, "It's really my honor, a great honor!"

"What's so angry about this?" He Lianfang looked at Zhao Yao who was livid with anger in confusion, "Don't you care about 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 and good things that are beneficial to the country and the people, but in the end, they didn't take it seriously at all. He never admitted that I, the tenth prince, was talented. Now he looks at me with admiration because I made glass and mirrors. Do you think I am angry?"

"It's very simple. In the minds of the ministers, the glass and mirrors you made are more in line with their wishes." He Lianfang said in a calm tone, "But the things you made before were just not in line with their wishes."

Hearing what He Lianfang said, Zhao Yao became even more angry.

"Can glass and mirrors be compared with the curved shaft plow? They are just beautiful trash. They actually like beautiful trash and don't like treasures that benefit the country and the people. Have their brains been kicked by donkeys?"

"What use are the curved plows and new looms you made to the ministers?" He Lianfang asked, "Can they use them on daily basis?"

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

"if not?"

Zhao Yao was so angry that he cursed: "What the hell@￥￥&&..."

He Lianfang quietly looked at Zhao Yao who was furious.After he vented his anger, he thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea.

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

He Lianfang: "Don't you already know the virtues of those ministers in the court?"

"I knew it, but I didn't expect them to be even worse than I thought."

"The glass and mirrors you made are very popular with the ministers. They are not exactly what you want, so you can make money from them." This was the first time He Lianfang saw Zhao Yao so angry, so he persuaded, "Your second uncle Didn’t you write a letter saying that the order list for custom-made glass from him is full, but he just received a deposit and received a soft hand, why are you still angry?"

"Of course I'm happy to have made money, but when I think about those ministers who like glass and mirrors more than Qu Yuuli, I get very angry." Zhao Yao became angrier as he thought about it.

"I asked you, what are you doing as a minister in an idle prince's angry dynasty?"

"Second uncle, aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry? What do I have to be angry about?" He Lianfang said with a smile, "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 are thinking." He Lianfang comforted Zhao Yao, "Let your father worry about the ministers in the court." "That's right, why am I angry." Zhao Yao said this, but he still felt it in his heart. Somewhat unhappy.

"If you are really angry, then make money from those ministers."

Zhao Yao thought He Lianfang's suggestion was a good one, "Second uncle, what you said makes perfect sense. I have to make more beautiful waste and squeeze their money bags dry."

"now it's right."

Zhao Yao was only angry for a while. After venting his anger, the anger in his heart decreased a lot.Now that I have calmed down, a sense of helplessness suddenly arises in my heart.

"Sigh...Although I have known for a long time that the ministers of the DPRK serve as officials for their own future and not to benefit the people, but..." At this point, he did not say any more.

He Lianfang asked: "But what?"

"I feel a little sad." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I am too sentimental."

"Not talking about ministers, let's talk about how many of your royal brothers are really fighting for the throne for the people. They are fighting for power to fight for the throne." He Lianfang said in a cold tone, "The vast majority of people in this world are climbing up. For yourself, rarely for others.”

Zhao Yao said with a dark expression: "I know." It was because he knew that he was angry.

"You'd better get the ironworks out as soon as possible."

"I plan to go to the mine in two days to have a look."

"Why did you go to the mine?" He Lianfang asked with a slight frown, "Is there something wrong with the mine?"

"Nothing happened at the mine. I just wanted to take a look at the site." There are several iron mines in Lingnan, and there is an iron mine some distance away from Marsh Mansion.The output of this iron ore is quite large.

"The mine is far away from the Marsh Mansion. Once 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 feel that the iron ore produced by the mine is too little, not enough for me."

"Less?" Hearing this, He Lianfang raised her eyebrows in surprise, "The output of the iron ore near Marsh Mansion is quite large. 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 sternly, "Before building the ironworks, I have to build a very large furnace, which requires a lot of iron. "

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

"I initially plan to build a furnace that is ten meters high." Zhao Yao thought for a while and said, "If ten meters is not enough, then we can increase the height."

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

"Is it necessary to have such a tall furnace to make iron?"

"I want to first try how much iron can be smelted in a ten-meter-high furnace. If it smelts more, it means my idea is right. Then we can increase the height." Zhao Yao frowned slightly when he thought of the situation in the mine. Wrinkle, "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 will go to the site to check and see if we can improve efficiency." He went to the mine. See if I can get a pulley.

"In this case, let the secret guard follow you carefully, and don't lose your life in a trip." He Lianfang reminded kindly, "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 doubtfully: "Where?"

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

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

"In the mountains in the south?" He Lianfang was a little surprised by the location selection. "Isn't it safer and more private in the swamps in the north?"

"It is dangerous if there is a swamp in the north. The swamp will explode when the time comes." Zhao Yao said with a serious face, "The swamp is poisonous."

"Then you said before that the swamp was useful?"

"It is useful, but it is also very dangerous, so it must be used properly." Zhao Yao said, "The swamp can be of great use in the future, but there is no rush to develop it now."

He Lianfang didn't understand what the swamp could be used for, but he didn't care about it.

"How much iron ore do you need to make the thermal weapon?"

"A lot." Zhao Yao added, "Not to mention anything else, the gun I told you before requires a lot of iron."

As soon as guns were mentioned, He Lianfang felt itchy and couldn't help but urge Zhao Yao: "First make two guns and let me try them."
