The prince held up his head and laughed for a long time.
The Crown Princess couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness? Why are you so happy?"
"You don't understand," the prince smiled and shook his head, "In this world, if there is someone who will make you trust her more than you trust yourself, this feeling is really very comfortable."
The Crown Princess asked, "Your Highness, are you talking about Fu Yan?"
"Oh?" The prince smiled and asked, "Why do you think it's her?"
The Crown Princess hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Your Highness, do you remember that you lost contact for a few days when you were providing disaster relief in Bianzhou? At that time, Fu Yan often came here, sometimes two or three times a day. She was different from everyone else. She was like comforting a child, often touching my head, hugging me, and patting my back... She was obviously very small, but when she came, I felt very at ease."
The prince embraced her with a smile, and the princess consort snuggled in his arms, "Your Highness, because of Fu Yan, I believe from the beginning to the end that nothing will happen to Your Highness."
The prince chuckled and said, "I know."
After a long while, he patted her back gently and said, "You should go to bed early. I'll go to the study."
As soon as the court was over the next morning, Yan Shiyue grabbed Xu Mingxiu and said, "Prime Minister Xu!" She then grabbed Sun Xuancheng and said, "Sun Ci Fu!"
...
...
The two old men were stunned. Yan Shiyue stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please stay! Lord Lin! Lord Chen! Ah, please stay! I don't have any hands!"
Prince Chun: “…”
He looked at her posture of pulling one person with each hand, walked back, and bowed with a smile: "What do you want, my lord?"
Lin Fujian didn't think she was calling him at first, but when he thought about it and realized there was no one else she could call, he walked back with a smile.
The "Lord Chen" was the cabinet minister Chen Yunxin, who was mentioned in the prince's reply. Although he was also famous for his talent, he had never had any friendship with her and they had only exchanged a few words. He hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then walked back.
"It's like this," Yan Shiyue said with an embarrassed look on her face, "I would like to ask you for a little favor."
"Please speak, sir."
"That's right. No one in my family can read. I got married in a hurry. The garden at home is still bare and has no name. I asked Mr. Xu to choose one, but Mr. Xu insisted that it was against the rules. The adults are all well-educated scholars with great talent and writing skills. I wonder if you can come to my house to help me choose one and write it down at the same time?"
Qu Sinian watched from a distance and nodded silently in his heart.
Although she complained a lot beforehand and tried every way to be lazy, when she really decided to do something, she always did it very smartly.
After all, her identity is there.
At this time, she acted like a spoiled child, pulling people's sleeves and begging with a smile. In this way, she was not rude, but seemed very close. She was respectful enough to these old scholars. How should I put it? She didn't say much but could scratch their itch. These people were definitely comfortable and proud.
Moreover, her behavior was in line with her personality, and with this excuse, it would not be abrupt to ask Lin Fujian to go. Most importantly, this excuse was a one-time one, and there was no need to return the favor or arrange for the next time.
Well, in order to solve the problem once and for all, she worked very hard.
Xu Mingxiu smiled and agreed: "It would be disrespectful for me to refuse." He was about to bow, but then he realized that his sleeve was still being pulled by her, so he smiled and said, "Prime Minister, please let go first."
Sun Xuancheng has been very kind to her since she built the Northern College last time, and he agreed immediately: "I will definitely go."
The others also agreed. Zhang Baigui was familiar with her, so he stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Prime Minister, I would also like to ask for a cup of tea, is that possible?"
Yan Shiyue nodded, "Okay!"
The others exchanged glances with each other. Although they also wanted to go, they did not have the talent and reputation, and they were not sure of her personality, so they did not dare to speak rashly.
Then Yan Shiyue grabbed the prince and said, "Brother, please accompany me!"
The prince smiled and said, "I understand. I will go there when the time comes."
The fourth prince said, "I'll go over and take a look too. I've never been to your garden before."
The prince's smile froze slightly, and Yan Shiyue nodded: "Okay."
Then they agreed to go there on the next day off. Yan Shiyue also said to Prince Chun: "Your Highness said last time that you would give me a painting, why didn't you give it to me?"
Prince Chun truly admired her broad-mindedness.
After all, he said he would send the painting to Hantan, and then such a big thing happened. She spent half a year recuperating from the illness, but now she can ask him for the painting without any hesitation.
Prince Chun smiled and said, "If Your Excellency likes it, I will paint as many as you want."
Yan Shiyue's eyes lit up: "How about this, come to my house and draw another one for me! I want a painting of GunGun and the lynx together!"
Prince Chun agreed with a smile.
Then everyone dispersed. Qu Sinian and Gu Hengsha went directly to the Ministry of Revenue. Yan Shiyue called Ding Jiu and went to the workshop together.
Her idea is still to run a state-owned enterprise.
She had thought about making cement before, but Emperor Ming Yandi's ideas were still limited by the times and he did not attach importance to business, so he failed to make it and kept it as a treasure. This is one.
Then, what can I say, the three weapons of a time traveler are soap, gunpowder, and glass.
The gunpowder is already here, the soap has already butterfly out, and it seems that the glass can also be tried.
The raw materials of glass are quartz sand, limestone, feldspar and soda ash.
Quartz and feldspar are both used in ceramics and are already available. Limestone is also easy to obtain. Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, comes from saline-alkali lakes and has been available in this era. It is different from the one made from wood ash, which is potassium carbonate. Only the one made from saline-alkali lakes is sodium carbonate.
Dry and crush these, of course the proportions need to be tried several times, and then heat them at high temperature, generally 1,600 degrees for a few hours, to form a uniform, bubble-free liquid glass that meets the molding requirements.
Then it is simply forming and annealing.
Annealing is the slow cooling of the material, rather than direct cooling, for strength and thermal stability.
The technical difficulty is the need to test the proportions of materials, but for some people in Yue Workshop, this has become commonplace.
As for what can be made, she only mentioned mirrors, windows, etc. As for some small accessories, this is not her strong point, but it is the strong point of the craftsmen. As long as the glass liquid is produced, these can be tried slowly.
She explained it to Ding Jiu in detail, and then said: "After testing this thing, I may have to present it to the court, and the craftsmen must go with them, so be careful when you choose them."
Ding Jiu agreed and went downstairs to make arrangements.
Yan Shiyue asked someone to call Yuwen Dan over again. She had asked him to help get a scale a few days ago. Mainly because she felt that her clothes were a little tight after getting married, so she wanted to weigh herself when she had nothing to do.
Yuwen Dan came over with a scale in his arms soon, and asked her to try it with a smile.
Yan Shiyue weighed herself on the scale, and she actually weighed 95 kilograms! She thought she was a skinny person! You know, she was over 1.7 meters tall and weighed only 88 kilograms, and she was always known as an ant waist!
She asked, “Is this accurate?”
"Don't worry, Your Highness," Yuwen Dan said, "I have tried it many times and it is accurate."
"Okay," Yan Shiyue said, "Make more. The pointer and dial should be bigger and more obvious, and made more delicate. Then we can sell them... Also, make some scales of different sizes. You can use copper and iron, for example, 300 jin, 500 jin, 1,000 jin. Try to make some."
Yuwen Dan said, "If we use copper and iron, it will be expensive. I'm afraid those shops won't buy it."
"It's okay if it's more expensive. I'll make less first. I'll see if the government needs it, and then I'll think about the store."
Yuwen Dan agreed.
