Yinzhen had no say in the early production, but the manpower, shops, trade routes, etc. required for the subsequent distribution were a considerable expense.

Yinzhen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Xirui looked at his troubled face and blinked, as if she understood something.

Then he smiled indifferently and said, "This deal involves a large amount of money, so it's reasonable for Brother Jiu to be cautious. How about this, let's go to the next courtyard first and then talk."

If she remembered correctly, the things in the next yard were somewhat related to this glass.

If Yinzhen had the courage to eat both of them in one go, it would have saved her a lot of trouble.

Xirui was very considerate and extended an invitation to Yinzhen.

"That's good. I'll take a look at what's available first and then make a decision." Yinzhen would naturally not refuse this suggestion.

He also wanted to know what good things Xirui had in his hand.

Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus during their conversation, Li Zhuang tactfully walked to the front to lead the way, "Everyone, please come this way."

"Let's go, Brother Jiu." Xirui did not put down the wine glass he had just picked up, but still walked out with it in his hand.

Xue Jing noticed this and reached out to take it, "Why don't I hold this cup for you, young lady?"

He can no longer help with leading the way, introducing items, negotiating cooperation, etc. If he doesn't find something to do, he will feel useless.

Xirui took the time to glance at him, but didn't say anything. She handed him the wine glass in her hand and said, "Take two more. I'll need them later."

It would be a waste to not use the ready-made labor, Xirui instructed very considerately.

Xue Jing nodded obediently, turned around and went back to get two more wine glasses.

The second courtyard was not far away. As soon as Xirui and others stepped over the threshold of the glass courtyard, they could see the gate facing them.

Inside the door was the same as the glass courtyard just seen. Apart from the things filling the whole room, there was no other person.

I think this should be Xue Jing's arrangement.

In order to avoid another incident of inappropriate offense by the subordinates, they were simply given a day off.

Let the two groups of people stagger apart.

There won't be any problems if we don't meet, right?

Next, Li Zhuang's explanation indirectly explained that this was what Xue Jing meant. "Everything was arranged according to the Second Boss's wishes. This... and that were all done after we received the notice and asked the craftsmen to rush to work overnight. It was not completed until this morning."

As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the center of the main room.

There, there stood two life-size mirrors that were nearly two meters long.

Unlike the common bronze mirrors, what appeared in this small courtyard were mercury mirrors that could reflect clear images one after another.

From small mirrors that can just be held in one hand to floor-length mirrors, the room is filled with them.

It is dazzling and full of surprise at the same time.

"This... this person is me?" Yinzhen had never seen so many mirrors so big.

Although he was born into a royal family and had seen many exquisite and wonderful things, this mirror made of mercury was not too rare.

Maybe there are few photos that are so clear.

Not to mention there are so many in this room.

You have to know that his Curry has no more than five mercury mirrors at most, and most of them are small ones, which can't compare with these in front of him.

"Mirrors this big are probably rare even in the emperor's... ahem cough father's private library, right?" Or rather, there isn't one at all.

Yinzhen still gave his father some face.

The current mercury mirrors are complicated to make and the craftsmanship is not very mature, so naturally the smaller they are, the easier they are to make.

Especially when it comes to things that are to be presented to the palace, the craftsmen seek to be safe as much as possible.

Who knows, what's in Kangxi's private treasury may not be as good as what Xirui has here.

How could this not shock Yinzhen?

As if possessed by a ghost, he walked step by step to the front of the largest floor-to-ceiling mirror.

I stretched out my hand and felt something cold at my fingertips.

"This photo is so clear!" Even the red bloodshot in his eyes due to not sleeping well last night were clearly visible.

Yinzhen took another look and quickly turned away the next second.

"Ahem~" He saw nothing.

"Um... Xiao Qi, are we going to cooperate with Brother Jiu on this as well?" Why didn't he wipe the eye booger clean? Who was the bastard who did this to him?

Outside the courtyard, the eunuch Hulu beside Yinzhen sneezed violently.

I looked up at the sunny sky and cursed in my heart: Which grandson is scolding his grandfather!

"If Brother Jiu thinks he can handle these two deals." Xirui said.

In fact, the shock in her heart was only slightly less than that of Yinzhen. No matter how many times she saw it, she would still be impressed by the wisdom of the working people.

For these mercury mirrors and the glass just now, she only provided some remote guidance. All the practical processes and results were completed by the craftsmen led by Xue Jing.

They are not like themselves, accustomed to these things.

Some of them have never even seen or heard of these things in their lives.

But it was beyond Xirui's expectation that such a perfect product could be made with just a few secret recipes and a few words of guidance.

"Give the order that all the craftsmen in this courtyard will be rewarded with half a year's monthly profit." Let's just call it a reward for their hard work.

Xirui waved his hand and said, this is his territory anyway, he has the final say.

"I'd like to thank the boss for the reward on behalf of everyone." Li Zhuang was stunned as if a pie in the sky. He happily knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Xirui.

In today's world, the status of craftsmen is only slightly higher than that of merchants, but they are far less wealthy than merchants.

Most people have worked hard to learn a skill, work hard outside, and are separated from their families for less than a month, just to be able to barely support a large family.

Until I met Xirui and Xue Jing.

Being able to get this job in the courtyard is simply a blessing they have earned in their previous lives.

Not only is the salary high, but you can also move in with your whole family, wife and children.

By paying a small amount of rent, you can have a house to live in and fields to cultivate.

They've never seen a better job.

Now, there is another reward of half a year's salary.

Li Zhuang was shaking with excitement.

"Thank you, Boss." For a moment, he seemed unable to say anything else.

"Don't be like this, get up quickly." Xirui sighed secretly when he saw this scene, and signaled Yingwu to come forward and help the man up.

"You all work for me, and I will naturally reward those who do well." It's the same as the project bonus.

After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it, right?

Xirui would never do anything that exploits labor without any bottom line.
