In the East China Sea, an old man in blue clothes walked outside a small fishing village and stopped. The old man had no body, but a flute was inserted between his waist and a jar of wine in his hand.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated village, the old man's eyes were filled with emotion and nostalgia, and there were also memories of the passing years.

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

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

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

"Come out!" the old man said in a deep voice.

As the old man finished speaking, two men in coarse cloth clothes walked out of the woods in front of him. They had the same face, the same height, the body was strong, the bald, and the simple expression on their faces. Just looking at the faces gave people a feeling like a simple man in the mountains.

However, the long sword against the shoulders made the two of them full of murderous aura.

"Lu Pinghai, the eighth in the world, my brothers have been waiting for a long time." The two of them spoke at the same time, their voices a little muffled.

Lu Pinghai looked at the two of them without moving his eyes.

The ancient tribe rarely appeared in several other countries. They came here specifically, and I don’t know whose order was taken.

"Your Majesty said that you want to exchange for the Spirit Yuan Pill with you, and the conditions will be up to you." The two continued.

really.

Lu Pinghai suddenly realized that it was Qi Zixiao.

"Tell Qi Zixiao, I have nothing to want, you guys go back." Lu Pinghai shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty said, if you disagree, you will come to you personally." The two of them said, "In fact, if you don't give me the words, you will be beaten to death if you don't give me the words."

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

No matter what, he is the eighth in the world. How can he allow others to threaten this?

"Then let Qi Zixiao come to me." Lu Pinghai laughed loudly and walked straight through the two of them, not even looking at them.

Although Qi Zixiao is the fifth in the world and has the ninth in the world, he is not necessarily afraid of them.

As the eighth in the world, I must have my own confidence. I have never beaten, who knows what will happen?

Qi Zixiao turned out to be the seventh one, so why didn’t he kill Hua Sanliu, the fifth one?

I don't have any trump cards at all.

"Lu Pinghai, do you really want to offend His Majesty for a Spirit Yuan Dan?" The two turned around, their hands on the knife.

"Although Qi Zixiao is powerful, she doesn't want me to give up her things with just one word. Today, for Qi Zixiao's sake, you and the other two will leave, don't be ignorant of life or death." Lu Pinghai snorted coldly, swung his sleeves behind him, and immediately the sleeves stretched a few meters like a spirit snake, rolled directly onto the hilts of the two of them.

"Clang!" The two men were out of their sheath and slashed at their sleeves. Not enough, the sleeve suddenly came from the force of pushing them onto the knife. The two long swords slashed directly at their own necks.

"Roar!" The two of them lowered their heads at the same time, and their swords intertwined and cut at each other's sleeves on the hilt of each other, and then cut them out in vain.

The sleeve loosened the hilt like a living thing, and then hit the chest of the two. The two of them kept regressing and stopped after retreating for seven or eight steps. Blood flowed out of the corner of their mouths.

"Huh?" Lu Pinghai exclaimed lightly. Even the master who had just entered the God-Wheel level could not take the attack, let alone hit him directly on his chest. The two of them could still stand there.

But the two people sent out have this strength, and the ancient clan has many masters.

"It is not easy to practice, let you go today." Lu Pinghai left a sentence and his figure disappeared into the forest.

The two looked at each other, turned around and left.

Since they were not his opponents, they had to go back and tell the general about what Lu Pinghai refused.

Lu Pinghai entered the forest, came directly to his place, and finally sat down on an open space.

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

But that's fine, no one comes to disturb him.

Even if you close your eyes, you will know where he lives.

"I'm back to see you..." Lu Pinghai opened the wine gourd, took a sip, and sprinkled a little on the ground.

...

Ren Baqian looked at the silver mirror in his hand, and then at the craftsmen and Jiao Zuo in front of him with a look of seeking credit. "Just like this silver mirror reaction, how many days did you do it? How stupid are you? The black-faced man is smarter than you!"

The black-faced man is the name of a wild boar.

"Two days!"

Ren Baqian looked at the craftsman who was responding to the conversation with his eyes squinted.

"It's just to give a black-faced man something, and it can be made in two days."

Several people shook their heads and listened silently. A row of tall and big men stood there like a wall with their heads down.

Ren Baqian talked for a long time before finally saying: "Everyone is rewarded with 10 taels of silver, and the monthly rate is one level."

Although these people are hopelessly stupid, they have done it at least. They should scold them and reward them as much as they should.

"Thank you!" Everyone immediately smiled.

Ten taels of silver are more than two months old, and the monthly price is one level, which is a lot of money.

"Go down." Ren Baqian asked the craftsman to go down first, and then ordered Jiaozuo what he wanted to do next.

At this time, the main one is the concave mirror and the flat mirror, which is used to make solar furnaces. After completing these things, the Damoshan iron ore can be solved so that it can be sold to other countries through caravans to make money.

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

After the problem of glass and silver plating was solved, the next step was much smoother. Although the production speed of the glass factory is not fast at present, it is much faster than at the beginning. The ratio of materials has been found, and the number of problems has become less and less. The concave mirror and silver mirror made in a week have already filled two rooms.

Next, Ren Baqian took his people to make square racks with wood and rattan every day in the glass factory, and the racks were also concave.

Then fix the mirror on it.

A few days later, at noon, a convoy of hundreds of people came out of Lancheng and headed straight for the glass factory outside the city.

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

There was a wooden platform standing there, and a huge shelf six meters high and twelve meters wide stood there, with concave mirrors fixed on it. From a distance, it looked white and shaking, making people unable to open their eyes. Many people put their hands on their eyes to block the white light.

The empress got off the chariot, and behind him were Shi Qing, Discount Sea, Tuwan, Tong Zhenye, Qinchuan and other six officials. As long as they were fine, they were pulled by the empress.

Everyone also guessed in their hearts what the empress was going to call so many people.

At this time, when I saw the tall shelf and some twisted scenes reflected in the concave mirror above, Shi Qing, Discount Sea, Tong Zhenye and others immediately knew what it was, and they actually made it. I just didn't know if it was as Ren Fucheng said, if so, it would be a big happy event.

The others looked at the large mirror in front of them with a novel look on their faces.

"That's a mirror?"

"I don't know what made it, it doesn't look like a bronze mirror, it's so bright."

"But the unmoving thing that was taken was wrong. When you look at the stones in the mirror, they are all deformed."

"Hey, look at the person who looked in the mirror, he is so short that I am so happy."

The empress looked at a large mirror in front of her, looked at it for a moment, and then said to Ren Baqian: "It's time to start."

Ren Baqian's expression was very relaxed. After so long, he finally made this. Now it's time to show it.

I hope those idiots don't mess it up.

As he said hello, the thirty guards who were responsible for his arrangement ran aside and carried out thirty mirrors that were two meters long and one meter high, and then put them down on the ground facing the shelf.

Then someone carried out an iron pillar four meters long and thick with a bowl and stood on the ground.

Ren Baqian walked to the front of the thirty flat mirrors, adjusted the angle of one of them, reflected the sun's light onto the concave mirror on the shelf, and then focused the concave mirror and then reflected to the upper end of the iron pillar.

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

At the beginning, many people looked at him, but as the Empress, Shi Qing and others stared at the top of the iron pillar, more people also turned their eyes to him, wondering what they could see in this way.

But immediately, they were shocked.

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

You must know that this is an iron pillar. No one is blind. Judging from the steps of carrying the iron pillar and standing up, 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 pillar was not only catching fire, but also melting, and the dark red iron flowed down the column.

Soon, a piece of the top of the iron pillar was missing.

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

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

Now, it is melting the iron rod as thick as a bowl, which is more than ten times more difficult.

Therefore, when I saw this effect in person, everyone was shocked.

"The old minister congratulates you for your Majesty and I am the Great Yao. Ren Gonggong made this thing a great achievement. I will no longer be worried about my great Yao within a hundred years." Shi Qing said loudly with joy.

As he spoke, everyone also reacted and said congratulations to His Majesty.

Although they didn't know what was going on, one thing was that they understood, the iron pillar as thick as a bowl had melted directly.

Then, the Damoshan Iron Mine was soon mined continuously, and there was no need to be trapped in the shortage of weapons. This was indeed a happy event, a great event.

Ren Baqian, the biggest contributor in this matter, has also improved his position in the hearts of many people.

His Majesty had previously said that he would run a school, and that his disciples with average talent could be sent in. Everyone hadn't taken it seriously yet, and many people didn't even think about it.

When His Majesty asked about it later, he said that although the disciples in his family were not talented, they could only practice martial arts.

But at present, this person is really capable.
