Zhu Houzhao took out a stack of glass manufacturing blueprints from his storage space."Look at this. Can you make it?”
"Your Majesty, this is?"
"No problem. To be honest, I've studied it before, but it's not as clear and thorough as what I said.”
"That's good. The two of you study it well and don't leak it. Instead, I will let Black Turtle Camp cooperate with you to build a new workshop.”
As expected, the two of them were really geniuses. They did not disappoint him.
After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao decided to get the glass out first.
Glass could be used to make many household items, so it would definitely be popular in the entire Land of the Nine Prefectures and give him countless gold and silver.
Fortunately, Zhu Youtang was very thrifty and had a lot of money in his treasury.
With the system's gift, he definitely did not have 100 million taels of silver, but he still had 30 to 50 million taels of silver.
But for an empire, it was still too little. The border army's annual military expenditure was tens of millions of taels, and this was only the most basic.
Zhu Houzhao knew very well that all the problems were actually a problem of money.
As long as the money was in place, many problems would not be a problem.
Earning money became the top priority. If he had money, he could spread it around and support the empire.
"Your Majesty, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. Some of my research is much more powerful than this glass.”
"When the time comes, the Empire's technology will depend on you and Doggie.”
"Technology?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded.”
As he spoke, he described the technology to Zero Hair and Lingling Dog, which the two of them agreed with.
The three of them chatted for a while. The two of them were not interested at first, but the more Zhu Houzhao talked, the happier they became.
Most of the things Zhu Houzhao told them were small items from his previous life that could be manufactured in this era.
For example, pencil, honeycomb briquettes, soap, scented soap, perfume, wheels, and even bicycles, steam pipes, toilets, and so on.
He didn't understand the principle behind it, and the technology in his memory was actually a little blurry.
However, both of them were professionals. After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, they had a rough idea.
It might not be possible to create it, but it was enough to have a vague concept.
What scientists lacked was inspiration, especially these two.
Zero Zero also made exhaust fans and so on, especially his bed. Although it was a little nonsense, there was no problem with the gears.
However, as the conversation progressed, Zhu Houzhao could not hold it in any longer.
If they continued, they would go overboard. Those creations that could be seen everywhere would be too much for them.
It wasn't that they didn't believe it, but that the conditions didn't exist in this era.
They could make it by hand, but what use would it be?
What Zhu Houzhao asked them to produce could improve people's livelihood and could be popularized.
If he became someone else's toy, it would be meaningless.
However, in the future, he could slowly build his foundation first and talk about it when it was about time.
After sending away the two excited people, Zhu Houzhao first went to the Tower of Trials to inform Xie Xuan to send a few people to bring the two to Black Turtle Camp.
Building some workshops next to Black Turtle Camp could ensure safety and concealment.
He didn't believe in other places, not even the East and West Chambers or the Jinyiwei.
The benefits involved in the glass were too great, and the probability of theft was too high.
After packing up, he brought his men to Cining Palace.
Zhu Houzhao's display of his cultivation to the Grandmaster Realm made Empress Dowager Zhang very happy.
He accompanied Empress Dowager Zhang and Yun Luo for lunch and talked about the talent show.
On the other hand, Yun Luo actually wanted to learn martial arts.
Of course, Zhu Houzhao did not mind and even arranged for two palace maids to teach him.
Although he was only at the Connate realm, it was enough to teach Yun Luo.
After returning to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Zhu Houzhao looked at the memorials that Xu Yourong had read.
"Qingxue, you said that there will be more and more people in the palace during the selection period. Will it be impossible to stay?”
Feng Qingxue rolled her eyes." Your Majesty, most of the palaces are still empty, right?"”
"It's empty, but it can't accommodate too many people.”
In the past, Zhu Houzhao had thought that the Imperial Palace was extremely large, with three palaces and six courtyards, it would definitely be able to house three thousand beauties.
However, he had checked and found that it was not the case at all.
The Great Ming Imperial Palace looked very big, but in reality, it was not as big as one imagined.
The three palaces were divided into the Palace of Heavenly Purity where he was, the Palace of Jiaotai, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. The Palace of Heavenly Purity was extremely large, and it was not a problem for it to accommodate a hundred or eighty people, although the palace maids were a little crowded.
Jiaotai Hall was not inhabited, but used for conferring titles and court meetings.
The Palace of Earthly Tranquility was the residence of the Empress. It was indeed huge, but it belonged only to the Empress.
Of course, the six courtyards were not just the six courtyards, but the six courtyards of the Eastern and Western Palaces, a total of twelve.
For example, the Eternal Peace Palace that Zhuang Qingshuang was currently living in included the Light Shadow Tower, Huamu Garden, Snowfall House, and so on.
Each palace contained a building, a garden, a study, a pavilion, a hall (continent), a pavilion, a pavilion, and a dock (pipe).
However, each palace could only house six concubines at most. There was a main hall, four side halls, and a rear hall.
Each residence was huge, and the palace was even bigger.
After all, regardless of whether it was ancient or modern times, being big meant being noble, and being big meant being awesome.
Not big, if it could show the emperor's dignity and majesty.
Unfortunately, Lu Xueqi and Xu Yourong were not qualified. Only Zhuang Qingshuang could show it.
The palace maids followed their masters. Their status was low, so their living conditions were very simple.
Counting this way, there were a total of 72 concubines, which was completely different from the thousands of people during the selection.
Also, what about the three thousand beauties?
He couldn't possibly include the palace maids, right?
Their living conditions were very poor. Most of them lived together or in the special dormitories outside the Imperial City, including the eunuchs.
Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that it was still too little.
"Your Majesty, it's about time. Do you really want to gather 3,000 beauties?”
"Who says it can't be? Don't you know my physique? The more people there are, the better it is for Zhen."
"You really are a foolish ruler."
"Hehe, if it wasn't for the fatuous ruler, zhen wouldn't have done it.”
Then, he dragged Feng Qingxue to the Tower of Trials.
Less than two minutes had passed when he came out.
Zhu Houzhao liked the Tower of Trials more and more. He always felt that this thing was too good for him.
Not only could it train soldiers and experts, but it could also create more convenience for him.
It was a pity that he couldn't use an ordinary person. However, Zhuang Qingshuang had gained his trust now. He could consider making arrangements for her in the future.
Any more and it would be easy for the secret to be leaked.
Right now, his cultivation was only at the martial grandmaster level. Although he was considered a strong person, he was not at the top.
The four maidservants were only at the Heaven Tier, and it would be difficult for them to protect themselves before reaching the True Martial Tier.
The empire had a foundation, but it was not his.
If he knew that it was a Celestial Artifact, he would definitely make a move.
But what happened after that?
Although the Celestial Artifact recognized its master and outsiders could not snatch it away, there would definitely be conflicts between the two sides.
Perhaps, if the other party was a little more brutal, he would directly get someone to replace him and then deal with him and take away the immortal artifact.
It wasn't that Zhu Houzhao thought too badly of people, but under the circumstances of benefits, friendship and feelings were all nonsense.
"Take your time. There's no need to rush.”
