His mood changed so quickly, he was startled and frightened Nian Tu.

Before she could come to her senses, Shunxi said impatiently, "What do you mean Mr. Picture or Mr. Words? This was hand-painted by the Empress herself!"

Empress...

The grandfather and grandson took a while to realize that Niangniang was addressing Nian Tu, and their faces suddenly became colorful like an overturned color palette.

It seems that the rumors are true. The man sitting on the dragon throne really doesn't care about the relationship between him and their young master, who grew up together. He actually did the absurd act of seizing his subject's wife!

The old craftsman was so angry that his beard trembled slightly. He wanted to curse the emperor as a tyrant, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not think of any other foolish behavior of the emperor.

Putting aside the matters related to Nian Tu, he was indeed a wise and brave emperor.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the problem still lies with this woman...

The young craftsman looked at Shunxi with suspicion, "Are you serious?"

Such an exquisite blueprint was drawn by a woman in a deep house? How is it possible? ?

With her status and experience, she shouldn't have had the opportunity to come into contact with these techniques. If she had any skills... it was probably her ability to seduce people! As for the rest, he didn't believe it! !

The grandson didn't believe it, and the grandfather didn't believe it either. He stared at the blueprint and pondered for a while, then stroked his beard and said, "I don't understand something. Can you please help me, Madam?"

As he asked, he looked up at Nian Tu, trying to find a flaw in that pretty face. However, the woman sitting in a high position was calm and didn't seem to be panicked at all. She nodded calmly, "Yes."

"..."

"I don't understand the meaning of these symbols."

Shunxi acted as a tool, passing the thin blueprint back and forth. Nian Tu took a look and found that he had neglected to change the units of measurement and wrote a few earth and interstellar symbols on it.

She coughed lightly with some embarrassment, and asked Shunxi to bring pen and ink to correct the mistakes on the spot.

Several pairs of eyes were secretly staring at her, and there was no room for her to manipulate any of her actions.

The old craftsman picked up the drawing again with doubt, and when he looked down, his eyes suddenly widened and his breathing became rapid due to disbelief.

This, this handwriting...

The handwriting had matched Mr. Tu's. He carefully checked the content again, and his heart was even more turbulent.

...Could it be that Mr. Tu and his wife are really the same person???

"Madam, please look at this. Should we make some minor changes?" He held the drawing in his trembling hands, refused Shunxi's offer to convey his ideas, and went forward to communicate his ideas with Nian Tu.

Nian Tu listened patiently, thought for a moment, and shook his head, "This will indeed save more fuel, but it may cause the furnace to collapse under high temperatures."

"Then, look at this..."

After a long discussion, the old craftsman became more and more excited, his eyes sparkling, and he prostrated himself in admiration, "Madam, you are so talented!"

He finally realized that it was not "Mr. Tu" but "Mr. Tu". No wonder Aaron was hesitant and unwilling to introduce him to them, it turned out that Mr. Tu had a special status.

Nian Tu reached out and helped the old man, knowing that the other party had taken her task to heart and would do his best, and she couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.

Out of caution, she added, "The raw materials, process, and this drawing must be kept confidential and not disclosed to anyone else."

She also hoped to use the finished products to fleece the nobles, make a fortune, and use the money to subsidize military expenses.

Therefore, at least for the time being, she must protect her intellectual property rights and monopolize production in order to gain the market position to set prices.

"Don't worry, ma'am," the old craftsman said solemnly, "we will keep our mouth shut."

"But, I am still curious about one thing." Before he left, he could not hold back his curiosity. "Madam, what did you burn with so much effort?"

Having lived to this age, he considered himself knowledgeable, but he had never heard of anyone calcining sand and gravel when he had nothing better to do, and he could not imagine what could be made from it.

There are even complicated and sophisticated processes, which not only require controlling the temperature, but also adding alkali and lime in proportion... It doesn't seem like a sudden whim or a joke, but has a very clear purpose.

Nian Tu smiled and asked Shunxi to go and pick up the little gray wolf cub.

"Woo woo——" the wolf cub fluttered dishonestly in Shunxi's hands until he saw his mother. Then he restrained himself a little, tilted his little face upward, pretended to be well-behaved, and gave the ball in his mouth to Nian Tu.

The transparent crystal ball was wiped clean and reflected a charming halo in the sun. The eyes of the grandfather and grandson were attracted to it, and they noticed that it was not a dog toy, but a rare treasure.

Nian Tu handed it to the old craftsman.

"This, this..." The old man was shocked. He thought it was a reward. He felt it was too valuable and he didn't deserve it as he hadn't made any contribution.

However, when he met Nian Tu's eyes, he suddenly understood what she meant.

"You mean...Crystal???"

Because he was too excited, his voice was out of control and the old man's screams echoed throughout the hall.

"It's not crystal," Nian Tu waved his hand, "it's glass."

"If the technology is up to par, the glass produced can be as transparent as this crystal, so transparent that it can be mistaken for the real thing."

The grandfather and grandson came with full of indignation and left with great excitement, carrying a precious blueprint and a fragrant pancake painted by Nian Tu, their steps a little unsteady.

After solving a big problem, Nian Tu stretched and lay in the rocking chair in a daze. Inspiration began to burst into his head, and various ideas popped up one after another.

After a while, she got up and sat back at the desk, biting the pen and thinking.

Shunxi was standing aside serving the pen and ink. He accidentally glanced at the pattern on the paper and couldn't help revealing a look of pain.

What the hell is this that the Empress has drawn... He can't understand it at all!

For several days in succession, the clan craftsmen and their grandchildren began to be summoned frequently. At first they were just excited, but later they became a little anxious.

The madam trusts them and has asked them to do so many things, but they are inefficient and have not produced any results!

Nian Tu glanced at the same dark blue in the eyes of the grandfather and grandson, and finally realized that she had not considered it carefully. She only gave ideas, drew blueprints, and issued orders, but there were countless trivial things that these craftsmen had to do.

"Don't be too impatient, and don't pursue perfection," she said with an apologetic smile, "Report to me if there is any progress. If the effect is not good enough, I will continue to debug."

It's quiet at night.

It was pitch black all around, but the clan's workshop was still brightly lit.

The craftsmen came and went with serious expressions, each of them focused on the work in their hands and not even in the mood to communicate.

Until a scream of excitement pierced the sky, "It's done!!"

The craftsmen who heard the noise looked at each other, and rushed over in the direction of the noise, where they saw the young master with a ruddy face and a wooden tube in his hand.
