Then it was handed over to the emperor.
The emperor flipped through it and his breathing suddenly became heavy.
He didn't fully understand the improvements and process of iron smelting, but he could understand the final conclusion.
This iron smelting recipe, if successful, will not only increase the amount of refined iron produced, but also greatly enhance the hardness and toughness of the refined iron.
It is perfect for making weapons.
Because of the previous experience with cement and corn, the emperor believed that the iron smelting recipe was real and would most likely work.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Can you make iron?"
Shi Qingluo shook his head, "I can't."
"So the emperor should let someone who specializes in this area try it."
She really doesn't know how to do this. She has never seen iron smelting in modern times.
This is what she copied down from the "Book of Time Travel" after finding a book that is more in line with the current level of productivity and technology.
The emperor saw that Shi Qingluo did not seem to be lying, so he was not too disappointed.
He then asked, "What reward do you want for offering this iron smelting recipe today?"
Shi Qingluo said truthfully: "I just want justice."
There is no need to hide anything in front of such a shrewd emperor.
The emperor has to deal with those old fox courtiers every day, and he must be tired of going around in circles.
So she prepared to establish an upright personality in front of the emperor.
The emperor was not surprised and laughed: "If nothing had happened to you, would you not be offering this iron smelting recipe today?"
Shi Qingluo nodded without hesitation, "Your Majesty is so wise that he can even see this."
Emperor: “…” This was the first time he had seen someone so direct in front of him.
If anyone were asked this question by him, they would definitely make an excuse immediately. Since they were here to offer the iron smelting recipe, how could they be so straightforward?
The key point was that he patted his dragon butt on purpose.
The little girl looked a bit stubborn and a little scared, but she looked at him with trust and admiration.
The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You are honest."
"You mean if this incident didn't happen, you wouldn't offer this recipe?"
Shi Qingluo answered truthfully, "No, I originally wanted to wait until we return to Nanxi County and the corn incident has passed before handing over the iron smelting recipe to Magistrate Mo and asking him to help present it to Your Majesty."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Why? Why don't you just come and present it to me?"
Shi Qingluo said: "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I am afraid that after just offering corn, I am offering the iron smelting recipe again. It will be too much of a show and someone will remember it."
"So I thought I'd keep a low profile. Once the hype has died down, I'll ask Magistrate Mo to present the iron-smelting recipe, and it won't be so conspicuous."
The emperor smiled, "Why don't you keep a low profile now?"
He added, "Because of what happened today, it's even more eye-catching that you come to offer this iron smelting recipe."
Shi Qingluo looked helpless and aggrieved, "There's nothing I can do. I'll just get hurt. It's better than being bullied."
I am just that straightforward.
The emperor found it quite novel that Shi Qingluo was so upright.
She actually spoke out everything in her heart in front of him, the emperor.
He asked half-jokingly, "Aren't you afraid that I will not care about this matter and blame you instead?"
Shi Qingluo looked at the emperor with seriousness and trust, "I don't think Your Majesty will."
The emperor immediately became interested. "Why do you think so?"
Shi Qingluo immediately started to flatter the emperor, and said as if it was a matter of course: "Because the emperor is a wise ruler!"
"Before I came to the capital, I heard many people say that the emperor is very good."
"Since the Emperor ascended the throne, he has reduced taxes, built water conservancy projects, punished corrupt officials, and allowed the people to live a peaceful and prosperous life without having to flee from home."
"The people are now living a better life than in the previous dynasty. They are hopeful about the days ahead. We all believe that under your Majesty's governance, our lives will get better and better."
"Your Majesty has been personally involved in all affairs of state, and has been diligent in governing. You have not only the country of Daliang in your eyes, but also the common people like us. You are a blessing to the people of Daliang."
"Because you are a good emperor who loves his people like his own children."
"That is why I am so brave and have come to the palace today to offer my prescription. I hope to use this contribution to gain justice."
As an emperor, of course what he likes most is to hear that what he has done is remembered and recognized by others.
So Shi Qingluo's words all touched the emperor's heart.
He has not dared to slack off since he ascended the throne. He not only hopes to stabilize the Daliang dynasty, but also hopes that his people can live and work in peace and contentment.
The smile in his eyes became even brighter, "You are really good at talking and making me happy."
Shi Qingluo's eyes were full of sincerity, "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth."
"I am an honest person and I never lie to anyone." Look at my sincere eyes.
She found that the emperor was not angry at all, but very happy.
I thought I had made the right bet.
So he said bluntly and straightforwardly: "If Your Majesty is not popular, there will be no good seed from heaven. Your Majesty's contributions are known to the people, so don't be modest."
The emperor laughed out loud, "You are really brave, girl."
He likes people who are honest and like to tell the truth.
Shi Qingluo climbed up the pole and said, "That was also given by His Majesty. Your Majesty is a good emperor, so I dare to tell the truth."
The emperor laughed, "If I were not a good emperor, you wouldn't dare to say that?"
Shi Qingluo smiled and replied: "But your majesty is a good emperor!"
The emperor raised his hand and nodded at Shi Qingluo, and once again said with a smile: "The little girl is very clever."
Shi Qingluo also continued to climb along the pole, "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
The emperor found that this girl was not only clever, but also very brave.
However, he couldn't hate Shi Qingluo. Instead, he quite liked Shi Qingluo's straightforward character.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, and after a moment he said, "I will have someone thoroughly investigate what happened today, and then give you justice."
The Third Prince's wife is really too outrageous.
Moreover, Shi Qingluo is not only likable, but also of great value.
Who knows whether she will remember some of the things left by the old Taoist priest that can benefit the country and the people in the future?
Shi Qingluo immediately bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
She did not deliberately flatter the Third Prince's wife in front of the Emperor, as this would have made her look bad.
It might also leave the emperor with the impression that you are difficult and narrow-minded.
This emperor is a wise ruler. My husband said that he has spies everywhere.
Then the Third Prince's wife's ridicule of her in the Embroidery Tower today, which was a bullying and disdain for good people, will also be known by the Emperor.
If she took the initiative to tell such things, the emperor would feel embarrassed and unhappy.
After all, he attached so much importance to good breeds, but his daughter-in-law spoke arrogantly and disdainfully, which made him feel ashamed.
Shi Qingluo cleverly avoided all this and let the emperor get angry on his own and feel a little uncomfortable with his daughter-in-law.
Anyway, she just wanted justice, but she didn't say that it was your daughter-in-law who did it. Although everyone knew it, the emperor's face was still saved.
Shi Qingluo didn't stay long. After he finished speaking, he left with Xi Rong.
Just as Shi Qingluo expected.
As soon as she left, the emperor ordered people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
He wanted to know everything that happened since Shi Qingluo left the house today.
