After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure (2)

Chapter 211: Was Really Bold

The chief eunuch serving the emperor immediately went forward and took the paper from Shi Qingluo's hand.

Then, he passed it to the emperor.

The emperor flipped through it, and his breathing suddenly became a little heavy.

He did not quite understand the improvement and process of ironmaking, but he could understand the final product.

As long as this ironmaking formula was successful, not only could it increase the amount of refined iron refined, but it could also greatly increase the hardness and strength of refined iron.

It was extremely suitable to be used as a weapon.

Because of the matter of cement and corn, the emperor believed that this ironmaking formula was real, and that there was a high chance that it would succeed.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Do you know how to make iron?"

Shi Qingluo shook her head. "I don't."

"So the emperor still has to let people who specialise in this area try it out."

She really didn't know how to do this.

She had never even seen ironmaking in the modern era.

She had found a copy of it in the "time travel encyclopaedia" that was quite similar with the current era's tools and productivity.

Seeing that Shi Qingluo didn't look like she was lying, the emperor wasn't too disappointed.

He asked again, "What reward do you want for presenting this recipe for ironmaking today?"

Shi Qingluo answered truthfully, "I just want justice."

In front of such a shrewd emperor, there was no need to hide anything.

The emperor had to deal with those sly old foxes and courtiers every day, so he probably had to go around in circles.

Therefore, she was prepared to do it straightforwardly in front of the emperor.

The emperor was not surprised and could not help but laugh. "If nothing had happened to you before, would you not have come to present this iron-making formula today?"

Shi Qingluo nodded without hesitation. "Your Majesty is really wise to be able to see through this."

The emperor thought to himself, this was the first time he had seen someone so direct in front of him.

If she were anyone else, he would have immediately defended himself when he asked this question.

She was supposed to offer the formula to make iron in the first place, so how could she be so direct?

More importantly, she even tried to raise the emperor to a higher status.

Seeing the little girl's stubbornness and fear, she looked at him with a look of trust and worship.

The emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You're so honest."

"You mean that without your request, you won't offer this recipe?"

Shi Qingluo answered truthfully, "No, actually. I originally wanted to wait until I returned to Nanxi county, and after the spotlight for the corn passed, I would hand this recipe to Magistrate Mo and ask him to help me offer it to your Majesty."

The emperor was stunned for a moment and asked in puzzlement, "Why? Then why didn't you directly come and present it to me?"

Shi Qingluo replied, "The wind will definitely destroy the trees that stand out in the forest.
