Xiao Bao happily hugged his skateboard and went off to play by himself, hoping to master his aunt's skills as soon as possible.
When King Cheng saw that his son had taken the skateboard to play, he reluctantly turned his gaze away, coughed lightly, straightened his posture, and once again adopted a calm and serious expression.
"Madam Tang, I have come to ask you about that multi-functional folding knife."
King Cheng took something out of his pocket; it was the folding knife that Lin Zao had given to Xiao Bao.
Seeing that the Prince Cheng wanted to discuss serious matters, the Princess led Lin Zao to sit at a stone table nearby, so that they could talk while drinking tea.
"What does Your Highness mean?"
"I see that the material and sharpness of this knife are better than our existing knives, so I would like to ask Lady Tang who made this knife. If we can make the weapons in the army with such materials, how can we not defeat the barbarians?"
Lin Zao was stunned by King Cheng's question. It seemed that weapons in this dynasty were all made of iron, while most of the knives she carried were made of steel. The difference between the two was obvious.
But if you ask her how to make steel, she really doesn't know. After thinking for a long time, she vaguely remembered that her chemistry teacher had mentioned adding carbon powder to iron and then making steel at high temperatures. But she didn't know the specifics of how.
"I cannot reveal the truth about how this knife came to be at this time, but I can assure you that no one in the world possesses such a knife. Please understand, Your Highness and Your Highness!"
Lin Zao stood up, bowed, and apologized.
Upon hearing this, King Cheng frowned slightly and glanced at Lin Zao with a meaningful look. It seemed that Tang Jian's wife was no ordinary person.
"Since Madam Tang is unwilling to speak, I will not force her, as long as Madam Tang can guarantee that she will not harm me or the people of our Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness. I can guarantee all of this! Please rest assured, Your Highness!"
Seeing that King Cheng was willing not to pursue the matter, Lin Zao finally felt relieved. In fact, her decision to take out the folding knife was not without its purpose as a test.
She had so many modern supplies in her space, she needed to find a way to take them out eventually, but she hadn't come up with a good solution.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zao decided to tell Cheng Wang the steelmaking methods she knew, but she couldn't guarantee whether they could actually make it.
Although they couldn't find the person who made the knives, they obtained some of the steelmaking formula, which surprised King Cheng even more.
As long as steel can be forged, the weapon he wants can be made!
King Cheng left in high spirits once again!
Princess Consort Cheng apologized to Lin Zao somewhat awkwardly, as Prince Cheng's impulsive nature showed no consideration for others' feelings.
Lin Zao didn't mind at all; on the contrary, she admired Cheng Wang for his quick action and his ability to get things done.
We're all in the same boat; we share both glory and ruin. The more confidence King Cheng has, the better.
Lin Zao originally planned to go back later, but the princess and Xiao Bao warmly invited them to stay for dinner before returning. Lin Zao could only sit down and continue chatting with the princess.
"I heard you've been looking for a tutor these past few days. Are you preparing to give Tiger Head and Ya Ya their first education?"
Lin Zao was surprised that Princess Cheng was so well-informed. "That's right. The two children are almost four years old, which is the time for them to start their education. It's just that we haven't found a suitable one yet."
Princess Cheng wasn't specifically inquiring about the Tang family; it's just that the Prince's residence has many informants, and Prince Cheng also has a group of capable people who gather information, specializing in gathering all sorts of news.
It's possible that her subordinates, seeing that King Cheng was paying more attention to the Tang family, took it upon themselves to pass on the news that Lin Zao was looking for a teacher, which is how she found out.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if you'd mind?"
