Seeing that His Majesty's face was not red and out of breath when he said this, and his eyes were very bright, Xiao Hezi's face turned even redder, but he still hurriedly said, "No, that's enough, right? Anyway, Concubine Shu took off her clothes in front of Prince Zhongli." I wanted to recommend myself as a pillow, but Prince Zhongli refused."
Although he didn't see it, Mo Feng and the others described it in an extremely explicit way. Whenever he mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but think of what Mo Feng and the others said, and his ears were so red that they bled.
Lu Qing: I knew it was these nonsense.
"But why do you blush when someone takes off their clothes? Have you seen it?"
After hearing the words, Xiao Hezi panicked a group of "No, slavery was listening to Mo Feng, he said, where did the slaves see it?
Lu Qing was very amused when he saw Xiao Hezi's stammering, "Okay, I know you didn't see it, don't follow Mo Feng and the others, they will make you worse! Go out and let them continue to stare."
"Yes." Xiao Hezi wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. It was such a winter, His Majesty scared him to death. He is a good man... a good eunuch!
Lu Qing's lips twitched when he saw Xiao Hezi walking out faster than usual.
As for that?
This is so embarrassing.
After looking at his masterpiece, Lu Qing's lips turned up, very satisfied.
It was a full page, and Lu Qing also wrote down the materials, steps, temperatures, etc. required for making colored glaze and glass one by one.
"Yan Shan Miscellaneous Notes" records: For colored glaze, stone is used as a substance, saltpeter is used to mix it, reefs are used to forge it, and copper, iron, and red lead are used to transform it.
Glaze is made of quartz stone as its main component, and is calcined at a high temperature of 1,500 degrees with the addition of dyeing materials such as copper, iron, and lead.
Glass is simpler and cruder. Just grind the quartz stone into fine sand, calcine it into a liquid state at a high temperature of 2,300 degrees, and then cool it to obtain quartz glass. Considering the limited conditions, soda ash can be added to the quartz stone, so that It can be fired successfully at 1,500 degrees, but this kind of glass is just ordinary glass, in which sand can replace quartz stone.
Lu Qing also wrote down the method of making soda ash.
Everything is ready, just wait until tomorrow morning to bring this thing to the Ministry of Finance.
Lu Qing did not plan to keep the profits from the glass for himself. It would be better to turn them into state-owned enterprises. Otherwise, those ministers would cry about poverty every day, which would be tiring to hear.
She was given the methods and steps, but she didn't care about anything.
Morning next day.
Everyone arrived very early, with the dark circles under their eyes getting bigger and bigger, as if they were staying up late for a competition.
Lu Qing was stunned when he saw it [Is this collective insomnia after not sleeping in the middle of the night? Also, why do you look at me so weirdly? Is there something on my face? ] Subconsciously reaching out and touching his smooth and tender face, Lu Qing realized that these people could hear whatever he was thinking. He felt that he was no longer majestic, so his expression suddenly turned bad.
The ministers below were all looking at their noses and hearts, trying to minimize their presence, but they did not dare to raise their heads to look at His Majesty above them.
Didn't they suffer from insomnia? What happened yesterday was so shocking that they couldn't sleep at all!
Those ministers who didn't know Lu Qing's true identity wanted the Prime Minister to leave them alone, but instead called other ministers to talk secretly for so long about what they were plotting. After much deliberation, there was no result, and they lost sleep.
As soon as Lu Qing sat down, Master Meng, the Minister of Household Affairs, started to get straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, is there any recipe for making colored glaze that you mentioned yesterday?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked expectantly at Lu Qing who was standing above him.
When Lu Qing heard this, he glanced at Master Meng and said to Xiao Hezi, "Take the production method and show it to Master Meng."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiaohezi presented the two thin pieces of paper to Lord Meng, the Minister of Household Affairs, with both hands.
Meng Shuo saw that His Majesty gave out the recipe without saying a word. Before he could be shocked, the manufacturing method was handed to his hand. He was suddenly in a daze, and then he was extremely surprised.
I couldn't wait to read the manufacturing method. I scanned ten lines without daring to miss a single word. The hand holding the paper was still trembling slightly.
The closest ministers had consciously moved closer to take a look. As a result, although Meng Shuo was immersed in the contents of the paper, he was also very vigilant. When they were about to see it, he immediately put the paper away. stand up.
"What are you doing? This is a secret. How can you watch it at will? Go, go, go! Leave aside!"
"Hey! Why can't you watch it and I can't watch it!?" Zhang Zhijie, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was dissatisfied, with a hint of anger on his old face.
"Your Majesty let me see it, but he didn't let you see it." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue doesn't care what others think. This way of making money cannot be seen by others. What if it is leaked? When the time comes that he can't make any money, where will he cry?
Many ministers who originally wanted to go and have a look stopped immediately when they saw this and pretended that nothing happened.
The foot that Su Xiang had just raised retracted again, and he coughed to cover up.
Lu Qing "..."
"Your Majesty, Old Minister Liuli recognizes it, but what is this glass? What's the difference between the two?" Master Meng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was puzzled and looked up in confusion and asked.
"You will know when it is done. You can't understand what I say now. Let's leave this matter to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Minister of the Ministry of Works. What do you all think?"
"Your Majesty is wise, I have no objections!"
The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of land taxation, household registration management, finance and taxation, etc. The Ministry of Industry is mainly in charge of construction engineering matters, that is, civil construction, water conservancy projects, weapons manufacturing, metal mining and textiles, etc. It is most suitable for the two departments to jointly manage the manufacturing of glaze and glass. of.
"Okay, then the matter is settled."
"I obey the order!" Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works said immediately.
Zhang Zhijie, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, openly reached out to the Minister of the Ministry of Households to ask for the manufacturing method, with pride in his eyes.
In the end, I didn’t have to come and see it! Our Ministry of Industry will do the work later!
Shangshu Hube was in a good mood and was too lazy to talk to him, so he simply handed it over.
"Your Majesty, as for the income generated from this..." Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue was gearing up and staring at His Majesty with bright eyes.
I don’t know how your Majesty plans to divide it. What percentage will the treasury take, and what percentage will your Majesty take? He cares more about this. After all, the treasury is too empty, and he feels panicked when he has no money!
Hearing this, the ministers all secretly looked at His Majesty.
Lu Qing saw their little thoughts clearly and did not expose them. He just said lightly, "All the money earned belongs to the treasury."
As soon as the words came to the ground, the ministers were silent and looked at the calm and calm Majesty above them in shock.
Swallowing, I thought to myself, if they had this recipe themselves and sat in His Majesty's position, would they give all of it to them? The answer is basically no.
