The mirror was made of glass, and the reflection was crystal clear. Yang Xiu carefully examined his own face in the mirror. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "What did the people at the glass factory say? How are these glass and mirrors made?"

The attendant whispered, “Glass is made by firing, and the raw materials used are very common, but the specific ratio and furnace temperature are still unknown.

The management at the glass factory is very strict. It is divided into different workshops. Everyone is only responsible for their own work and is not allowed to ask questions randomly.

Emperor Taihe attached great importance to the glass factory and arranged many Black Kirin guards to go in and strictly prohibit any leak of secrets.

The production of glass mirrors is even more secretive. All workers are strictly scrutinized. If anyone inquires about something, they will be arrested and interrogated. The people who are planted there dare not ask anyone for information and can only wait for the right opportunity.

Yang Xiu frowned in dissatisfaction. "Then when will we be able to find out any useful information? Can we secretly capture the craftsman and interrogate him?"

The attendant shook his head helplessly: "Those key craftsmen are all under strict protection. Staff dormitories have been built directly inside the glass factory. Those craftsmen can only live in the staff dormitories and rarely go home.

I heard they're going to build some kind of residential building for family members over there, and then the whole family of the craftsmen can live in it, which will make it even more difficult to start."

Yang Xiu asked again, "Who made that glass? And those colorful colored glazes... Where did the princess find such a skilled craftsman who could make so many fine things?"

The attendant looked embarrassed: "Rumor has it that those things were thought up by the young prince of the Princess's Mansion."

"Heh." Yang Xiu sneered disdainfully, "Do you think it's possible? How old is that kid? I'm afraid he can't even recognize a few big characters. How could he possibly come up with so many good things?"

The more Yang Xiu spoke, the more disdain he expressed. "That princess is truly shameless, treating everyone in the world as fools! She'd dare to spread any outrageous things just to build momentum for her sickly child."

Emperor Taihe was also in cahoots with her, and used this incident as an excuse to confer the title of Prince on that sickly little fellow. This is truly ridiculous!"

The servant heard the strong bitterness in his tone and lowered his head without daring to respond.

Yang Xiu was indeed very jealous. Although he was the crown prince of Zhou, he would be a prince when he succeeded to the throne, which was much more honorable than Situ Yuan, who was a nominal prince without any fiefdom and could not inherit the title.

But he is still just the crown prince after all, and it is still a long way for him to succeed to the throne.

Situ Yuan was a sickly boy, but he became a prince at such a young age. How could he not be jealous?

The glass factory was making a fortune, making people jealous.

The attendant waited for a moment before cautiously saying, "If Your Highness wants to quickly understand the formula for glass and the method for making glass mirrors, I'm afraid you'll have to resort to risky tactics and capture a few key craftsmen to dig out what they know.

However, if this were to happen, the many spies the prince has planted in the capital would be exposed, causing Emperor Taihe to become wary and suspicious..."

Yang Xiu took a deep breath: "Don't take any risks!"

The strength they have accumulated is not enough, and the time has not come yet.

Now that it is exposed, the entire Zhou Palace will be easily crushed by the imperial army!

"Take your time with this matter. I don't believe they can keep the secret of the glass forever!"

Having said that, Yang Xiu paused, then continued, "Go down, I want to be alone."

The attendant bowed respectfully and left obediently.

Yang Xiu looked at the mirror again, then threw it aside and began to review the entire plan in his mind.

Although Yang Shu was a little stupid, she listened to him very much.

With Wang Kui's hidden move and Lin Xiao's skills, this matter will definitely go smoothly.

He doesn't need to be anxious, he just needs to lie low and wait for things to succeed.

I hope that the girl from the Xie family is really a lucky star and can bring them unexpected benefits in the future.
