The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 22 Tiangong Pavilion in Kyoto

Shangguan Yuce, an ancient person, has never seen glass mirrors under modern industry. The mirrors used in ancient times were polished with bronze, and the figures reflected were blurred. But now the mirror in Zhang Peng's arms can completely "Restored" Shangguan Yuce and everyone around him.

Even if they came from Kyoto in the Mahayana Dynasty, they had never seen such a clear mirror reflection, and the reflection scene in the territory was like reality!
"This... this, what kind of magic is this?"

Seeing that a well-informed figure like Shangguan Yuce was also frightened like this, Ran Tong understood Zhang Peng's exaggerated expression when he saw this thing for the first time. Ran Tong waved his hand to signal Zhang Peng to turn over the mirror.

"Uncle Yuce, don't be afraid, this thing is a mirror."

"Mirror? Impossible."

How could Shangguan Yuce associate the bronze mirror they used with this thing? He was absolutely unconvinced by just one sentence.

However, Ran Tong didn't intend to explain it too clearly, it was a bit mysterious if it was vague.

"To tell you the truth, Uncle Yuce said that a long time ago, there was a day when night fell on this place, and an outer meteorite with a streamer in its tail fell straight down not far from the manor. It can completely reflect the appearance of a person, and this mirror is made of that piece of meteorite, I wonder if in the eyes of Uncle Yu Ce, this thing is a valuable item?"

"This……"

Only then did Shangguan Yuce put down his guard, walked in front of Zhang Peng and carefully looked at the strangely shaped mirror, the more he observed, the more surprised he became.

"It's really ingenious, there is such a rare thing in the world, and such a clear reflection, even the clearest river water can't do it!" Shangguan Yuce: "Would Qingwan take out that piece of meteorite and let me have a look? "

But Ran Tong shook his head: "Uncle Yu Ce, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Ran Tong didn't agree and didn't intend to explain, he smiled awkwardly.

That's right, even if this kind of treasure is placed in the palace of the dynasty, it will become a rare thing that will cause a sensation in the court. If it is handed over at will, it will not be a good thing for Sikong Qingwan. Just take it out and give it to him Observing and emulating already showed Sikong Qingwan's ultimate trust in him.

"You put this thing in front of me so reassuringly, you are not afraid..."

"Qing Wan can trust Uncle Yu Ce."

As soon as these words came out, Shangguan Yuce pinched his thigh secretly. The little girl had already said that, but his words were a bit ignorant.

"Uncle Yuce hasn't answered Qingwan yet, I don't know how much this thing is worth in [Tiangong Pavilion]?"

The Tiangong Pavilion in Ran Tong’s mouth is a well-known official pawn shop in the capital of the Mahayana Dynasty. It is divided into official and private [official sales] and [charity sales]. It is like an auction house in the real world. Precious treasures, from literary play to calligraphy and painting, from rhythm to poetry, it covers a wide range, to the extent that even Sikong Qingwan, who was autistic and silent back then, knew it.

Shangguan Yuce is a well-known regular client of Tiangong Pavilion.

"If it is true as Qingwan said, this mirror is made of meteoric iron from outer space. According to its scarcity, this mirror is worth at least 600 taels."

600 two?
Ran Tong frowned and thought for a while.

Different from modern society, the one tael of silver here is somewhat vague, but according to Sikong Qingwan's memory, a family living in the dynasty with a good year's income of 100 taels a year can be substituted into the modern society. Converting an income of 1000 yuan means that one tael of silver is equivalent to [-] yuan.

And 600 taels is equivalent to 60.

A mirror sold for so much money, it was really lucrative.

But Ran Tong caught the word "at least" in Shangguan Yuce's mouth and asked.

"Then, how much can you sell at most?"

"The highest... about 500 taels."

Ran Tong's heart was shocked!
My good fellow, the rich men in the capital really earn money.

The next moment, the girl stood up suddenly. Taking advantage of Zhang Peng's inattention, she pulled out the steel knife worn by Zhang Peng's thigh, and stuck it directly on the table!

Everyone present was subconsciously startled, and the two guards beside Shangguan Yuce even pulled out their blades!
"Don't be rude!"

But Shangguan Yuce looked sideways coldly, and the guards behind him put away the saber.

After doing this, Ran Tong let go of his hand, leaving behind the silver-white steel knife stuck on the table.

"Steel knives, made of 100% pure steel, cut iron like mud and are extremely hard. It is a grade higher than the current military weapons of any faction. You can take a look again."

Shangguan Yuce drew out the steel knife and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help being surprised again.

Steel knife?They also have steel, not only in Kyoto, but there are many steel smelting factories in the major palaces of the Mahayana Dynasty, but he has never seen such complete and flawless steel, and the steel made of such pure steel How extravagant is a knife? !
"Where did you get this knife?"

"Uncle Yu Ce, don't ask about the specific production method and how to obtain the things displayed today, just tell me how much such a steel knife is worth."

There was silence for a while: "Although this knife is exquisitely crafted, it is rare in the world, but it cannot be valued if it cannot be mass-produced. After all, even if a private or wealthy family buys it back, it will not be useful."

"Then what if I can mass-produce it here?"

"impossible."

Shangguan Yuce stared blankly at the girl in front of him.

But Ran Tong didn't give Shangguan Yuce a chance to breathe, and suddenly took out another thing from under the table.

"Uncle Yuce, let's look at this thing. This thing is a 'pencil'. As the name suggests, it is a pen used to write and draw pictures on paper. It is compact and easy to hold. It is several times faster than a writing brush. Although it is made It's simple, but the method is cumbersome, you can look at it again."

In just ten minutes, Shangguan Yuce sweated three times from his forehead.

He had to admit that the three things that Ran Tong took out were things he had never seen in his life, and their value... was immeasurable!
What made him unbelievable the most was Ran Tong's sentence "I can mass-produce these three things."

If this is the case, Shangguan Yuce will have to re-examine what kind of opportunity the girl in front of him has encountered, or what shocking secret she is hiding.

"Qingwan knows what Uncle Yuce is thinking. If Uncle Yuce wants to find out, you can ask your subordinates to search my manor. You will never stop Qingwan even if you dig three feet into the ground, but the result may be It will disappoint Uncle Yuce."

Shangguan Yuce wiped the sweat from his forehead, knowing that this trip would not be able to pry the girl's mouth open, so he also gave up.

Ran Tong smiled slightly: "But to show the sincerity of the transaction, Uncle Yu Ce, I will give you this mirror, knife and pencil."

"deliver?"

Shangguan Yuce was taken aback for a moment: "What kind of polite words are you talking about? Although I didn't bring so much money, I absolutely must not give it to me. Qing Wan, if you want anything, it's okay to just say it."

Shangguan Yuce knew what the little girl in front of him had to do, otherwise he wouldn't have offered to make a deal with him first, and then gave him this big gift!

Ran Tong didn't hide it.

"Uncle Yuce, if it is possible, I plan to buy things in the dynasty through you, but don't worry, I still have a lot of things here, and I will not let you down. You can accept what I gave you today." .”

After pushing and pushing again and again, Shangguan Yucei "reluctantly" ordered people to put away the three things, and the "extremely valuable" glass mirror was also put away properly by him, and asked immediately.

"I don't know how Qingwan plans to operate."

"I plan to open a logistics channel between the border of the Northern Territory and the capital of the Dynasty, which is specially used for our mutual transactions. What do you think?"

logistics?
