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

Chapter 212: As Long As You Know What You're Doing

After the emperor ordered the people to investigate this matter, he got the palace attendants to invite those from the Ministry of Works into the palace.

This news naturally spread out.

Everyone was a little puzzled. Why did the emperor summon the works minister into the palace as soon as Shi Qingluo and her husband left.

The works minister was also confused.

However, after he read the few pieces of paper given by the emperor, he immediately revealed an excited expression.

"Your Majesty, if this method of refining iron is successful, it can save a lot of money."

Recently, the Ministry of Works had been in dire need of money, but the old officials in the Ministry of Revenue were stingy and refused to distribute grants.

Now that he had this, he could brazenly ask the Ministry of Revenue for money.

If getting refined iron was successful, it would be of great benefit to the Ministry of Works.

The emperor nodded. "No matter how much manpower or financial resources you use, you must get this refined iron as soon as possible."

The minister smiled and said, "As you wish."

Then, he could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, is the source of this recipe reliable?"

He was just afraid that if he went through a lot of trouble and failed to produce anything, the old officials from the Ministry of Revenue would definitely stare at him and mock him.

The emperor said truthfully, "This is the recipe left behind by that old Taoist priest who blessed us with good seeds."

"The cement recipe was also left behind by him."

The Minister of Works immediately understood. "That shouldn't be a big problem."

The cement was also developed by the Ministry of Works according to the recipe, so it was indeed useful.

So that Shi Qingluo was going to the palace to present the recipe today?

He thought for a moment and asked again, "Your Majesty, should we keep this information a secret?"

The emperor waved his hand. "No need."

"If someone asks you when you go out, just tell them the truth."

He added, "For example, there's no need to hide the fact that this prescription was specially provided by the old Taoist priest's disciple, Shi Qingluo."

The works minister nodded with a smile. "Yes, your Majesty!"

It seemed that the emperor still valued Shi Qingluo very much.

If he were to go out and say it, wasn't it just to create momentum for the other party.

Very quickly, the works minister took the recipe and left the palace.

He did not return home but went to the Ministry of Works.

He was a little impatient now, wanting to refine the refined iron.

On the way, he met his colleagues, and the minister inquired about it.

The Minister of Works did not hesitate to tell them about the matter of Shi Qingluo giving the recipe.

He knew that the emperor wanted the news to spread.

Then, all the well-informed families in the capital knew about it.

It turned out that Shi Qingluo had gone to the palace to offer the recipe for ironmaking.

Many people turned around and could not help but praise in their hearts. They had really underestimated this village woman.
