After Chu Fan's explanation, Liu Ruyan and the others realized that these low-quality glass beads were indeed not suitable for rushing to sell. However, they couldn't bring all the glass beads back to their families, so they could just take a few back to play with or as souvenirs.
Seeing that they no longer had any questions, Chu Fan said, "These glass beads are useless to me. If you want them, take them and play with them. Just don't spread them around in large quantities."
Although Liu Ruyan already understood that these so-called glass beads were not precious items, she still wanted to collect a few as souvenirs. After all, this was the first time that Chu Fan made such glass beads. After taking a few glass beads, Liu Ruyan did not take any more.
Liu Ruyan said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any family in Wei, so these few pills will suffice."
Afterwards, Mu Xi and the other women took only a few beads, and there were still quite a few glass beads left in the pool. Chu Fan said, "Don't be polite. These glass beads are useless here. You might as well take them back and make them into ornaments or give them to friends. As long as it doesn't cause misunderstandings, it's fine."
Mu Xi said, "I appreciate your Majesty's kindness, but I cannot bring too many of these glass beads back to my family."
Chu Fan asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
Mu Xi explained, "If we bring too many glass beads back to our family, it will be impossible to hide them from all the clansmen. If they mistakenly think they are colored glass and secretly sell them or show off, it will cause unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings, which will affect Your Majesty's plan.
So we'll just take a few as souvenirs. Even if someone in our tribe secretly takes the glass beads out to sell, we'll be able to quickly discover and deal with them without causing too much trouble."
Chu Fan asked, "Do you think so too?"
The other women also nodded. You know, even if Chu Fan said that these glass beads were not valuable, they were still rewards from His Majesty. If they were really given away or sold casually, even if Chu Fan didn't care, the court ministers and the royal family would still criticize them. After all, this was an act of disrespecting the imperial power.
Seeing that they all insisted on taking only a few, Chu Fan stopped forcing them. He then continued firing the glass. The number of defective glass beads and glass fragments increased, and Chu Fan was thinking about how to deal with these defective glass products.
Suddenly Chu Fan came up with a brilliant idea. He decided to throw all the defective glass products onto the land of Japan to speed up the process of Japan's demise.
Chu Fan said to Qiuya, "Qiuya, go and ask Prince Chu Zhenglin to come here to see me. I have something important to tell you."
When Qiuya reached the door of the steel workshop, Eunuch Li stopped her and said, "Your Majesty, please let me carry out your instructions. Miss Qiuya, just continue to protect His Majesty."
Qiuya hesitated for a moment before letting Eunuch Li go and fetch Prince Chu Zhenglin. After all, His Majesty had been hanging out with other women like her recently, and Eunuch Li's opportunities to show off in front of His Majesty had become increasingly rare. Originally, Eunuch Li was the person His Majesty trusted the most, but now he was gradually being neglected.
She was just a maid in the palace, and was chosen by the royal family and His Majesty to stay with His Majesty. However, Eunuch Li had taken good care of her four sisters, and now seeing him so lonely, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
Chu Fan saw Qiu Ya returned to his side not long after, so he asked, "Did Little Li go to inform Prince Chu Zhenglin?"
Qiuya nodded, then said apologetically, "Your Majesty, it was this servant who took the initiative to ask Eunuch Li to inform the prince. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Chu Fan smiled and said, "It's just to notify one person, what's the crime? As long as I can notify him, it's fine. There's no need to insist on anyone to do it. Also, Little Leo likes to think too much. After all, he has been with me for many years and has been protecting me. How could I ignore him so easily?
Well, if you want to blame someone, blame him for not being a girl, otherwise I wouldn't have asked him to guard the gate during this period of time."
After Chu Fan finished speaking, Mu Xi and the other women all laughed, but Chu Fan did not care about these little things. He continued to seriously start firing the glass he needed.
Not long after, Chu Zhenglin arrived at the steelmaking workshop. Seeing the ground and the pool filled with defective glass, Chu Zhenglin asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, where did you get so many defective pieces of glass? Even though they are defective, if you sell them, you can still get a lot of money."
Chu Fan stopped what he was doing when he saw Chu Zhenglin arrive. He pointed at the defective glass and said, "These are not colored glass. They are just waste materials produced when I make glass. In the future, if you see so-called colored glass on Shengwu Continent, the Wei court should not buy it. Because the colored glass you buy is nothing but the waste glass I have distributed."
Chu Zhenglin didn't react for a moment. What exactly did Chu Fan mean? In his impression, only colored glaze on Shengwu Continent was so crystal clear. As for what glass was, Chu Zhenglin had never heard of it.
Chu Zhenglin asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by glass?"
Chu Fan then began to make glass again, explaining to Chu Zhenglin how glass is formed while he was making it. Although Chu Zhenglin did not understand the principle of glass formation Chu Fan was talking about, when he saw Chu Fan making crystal clear glass with sand, he knew that this glass was completely incomparable to colored glaze.
Chu Zhenglin said, "Although I don't fully understand how sand can form this kind of glass, I know that this glass is definitely not worth the high price of colored glaze. So, Your Majesty, what are you going to do with this glass on the ground?"
Chu Fan smiled and said, "Collect these glass scraps and transport them to the territory of Wa without processing them. Then, randomly scatter them in various corners of Wei State, so that people in Wa State and other countries within Wa State's territory will think that this is colored glass.
At that time, for the sake of these "glasses", the warriors of other countries will inevitably fight on Japanese territory, competing for these so-called "treasures", thus causing chaos. Of course, to complete the trick, our Wei Kingdom must also show its importance to these "glasses" and secretly send people to fight for them, creating even greater chaos.
Of course, Wei warriors or soldiers who have looted 'glass' in Japan should not bring it back to Wei, but should sell it in Japan to warriors or soldiers from other countries."
