    "Madam, we'd better stay farther away, the next thing is not suitable for us to touch!" Jing Wen said.  Next, a group of people who wrapped themselves tightly came nearby.  They were carrying a bucket of something in their hands, and the bucket was obviously very heavy. It took five or six people to carry a small bucket, so it was obviously not light.  Jing Wen and Cheng Lin immediately left the distance, just watching these people doing things from a distance.  Before these people actually do things, they still check what they have on them to make sure that nothing is exposed, so that they can do it with confidence.  "Husband, why are they wrapped so tightly?" Cheng Lin asked.  "What they are carrying is mercury, which is mercury. This thing is poisonous, so of course you have to stay away from the outside. As for those who operate it, they also wrap themselves very tightly, and there is a '  Gas mask, I use bamboo charcoal as the filter material. This kind of protection can protect their safety as much as possible and prevent them from being poisoned," Jing Wen said.  Jingwen hired these people to perform work involving mercury. Mercury is highly toxic, as everyone in ancient times knew.  In order to recruit these people, Jing Wen paid several times the salary of ordinary people, and these extra expenses were poisonous subsidies for them.  As for why he would recruit them even though he knew they were poisonous, Jing Wen actually had no choice.  After all, any job in this world must be done by someone. Just like many people in later generations know that miners are not safe, but someone does not have to do it.  What can be done is to reduce risks as much as possible and increase wages for dangerous jobs.  And the workers who were using mercury in the distance also started to make preparations.  Their first step is to cut the glass and cut out the defective and irregular parts, so that they can actually start using the glass.  "Okay, put the silver foil on it!" someone said.  Someone started to put silver foil on the glass lens.  These silver foils are made of very pure silver and then laid on the glass.  The method of making these silver foils is actually not as difficult as imagined. It is just a matter of using a heavy hammer to flatten pieces of silver, and then using more and more force. In the end, the silver becomes very thin pieces, so this  This method can also be used to produce gold wave silver foil.  These silver foils were also placed on the back of the glass mirror, and then the entire glass was covered with silver foil.  ¡°Okay, brush it with mercury!¡± someone directed.  People began to use special brushes to brush the mercury onto the glass covered with silver foil. Once the mercury reached the glass,  The silver foil on the glass began to melt.  After these silver foils and mercury melted into each other, they became a very sticky and moist thing.  Then they all stuck to the glass with all their strength.  In this way, it gradually becomes a shiny silver thing.  After an unknown amount of time, Jing Wen brought Cheng Lin to these things.  "Put it up!" Jing Wen said.  And after Cheng Lin looked at the mirror and put it up, her face suddenly became dazed, as if she had seen something strange.  Cheng Lin saw her own image in the mirror, and the surrounding scenery was so detailed that every detail was revealed.  Cheng Lin's entire beautiful appearance, various clothes, and even various small decorations were also revealed.  "Husband, is this me?" Cheng Lin asked in surprise.  Of course Jing Wen said: "Of course. Madam, of course this beautiful woman is you! This is the first time you can really see your own face with your own eyes!" Jing Wen had to feel sad for the ancients. The ancients wanted to see  It¡¯s not easy to look good on your own.  Ancient bronze mirrors often had poor effects and were yellowish in color.  So the reflected effect is very unreal.  But if you look at the reflection against the water, this is unlikely, because the limitations of the reflection on the water are too great, so it is not suitable to look at it directly.  Reflections from the water are also distorted.  This also made it very difficult for ancient people to see their own appearance with their own eyes.  And the mercury mirror made by Jing Wen can be said to be the best mirror of this era.  These mirrors are exactly like the mercury mirrors in later Venice, made of mercury and silver foil.  And later generations regard this kind of mercury mirror.  But they are all very popular.  It is said in later generations that many women were willing to sell their souls to any man for a mercury mirror and many men bought a mercury mirror just to get a beautiful smile, but ended up going bankrupt.  Therefore, this kind of mercury mirror was very expensive in the early days of its invention, and its value cannot be overestimated.  "Husband, did you invent this?" Cheng Lin asked.?.  "Of course, of course I invented it! Hum, I rely on these things as my treasures. These mirrors are absolutely rare treasures that ordinary people cannot own!" Jing  Wen said.  Jing Wen would never take such a large mirror and sell it casually.  After all, such a big mirror will become a priceless treasure in the future.  The glass of this era was similar to the diamonds of later generations. The larger the glass, the more the value increased geometrically.  If it is slightly larger, the increased price will not be the effect of one plus one, but will increase by a geometric multiple.  So of course Jing Wen would not take out the large glass easily, otherwise it would become worthless all of a sudden.  In order to maximize profits, Jingwen must of course sell out slowly.  Even if Jingwen can produce on a large scale, he still has to restrict production.  "Lin'er, I'll give this big mirror to you!" Jing Wen said.  "Well, husband, I love you to death! Tonight, I will let you do whatever you want." Cheng Lin immediately hugged Jing Wen and said.  Jing Wen thought to himself: "It is indeed something that makes women crazy. Such a mirror can make Cheng Lin look like an ordinary lady. It seems that the effect of mercury mirror should not be underestimated!"  Women's lethality is very powerful, Jing Wen knows this.  Originally, Cheng Lin was gradually developing into a lady, but now her personality has changed drastically, and she has become like this. It is really hard to underestimate the power of the mercury mirror!  (Want to know more exciting news about "Rigoletto of the Tang Dynasty"?
