“Oh…” The Emperor responded thoughtfully and then seriously sized up the lampshade.

Gu Chengrui did not give him any further explanation.

Instead, he picked up a lampshade and walked to the oil lamp. After lighting it, he covered the oil lamp.

Instantly, the room became much brighter.

The Emperor’s eyes immediately lit up. He had been reading memorials at night for many years, so he could not be clearer about the brightness of the oil lamp. Explore new 𝒏ovels on n𝒐velbi𝒏(.)com

Even if there were eight to ten oil lamps in the room, they would not be able to reach such brightness.

He walked over and muttered, “This is excellent stuff.”

“An accidental discovery.” Gu Chengrui added as he covered the lamp with an abandoned booklet on the side. A moment later, the light went out by itself.

“Why…” The Emperor was surprised, but he quickly understood what was going on.

“The lamp will burn for a long time, and the lampshade will be very hot, so it’s best to prepare a fire-resistant board as a cover.”

The Emperor nodded after listening. He looked at the glass, and his eyes lit up. “Shall we do this business together?”

“I came to find you for this matter. Making glass is the same as making porcelain. It requires raw materials, and what we need is quartz sand.

“It involves mining, so I can only come to you.

“I’ll give you the recipe and the technology, and I won’t care about anything else. All I want is 20% of the profits from ten years of glassmaking.”

“Wouldn’t that be a loss for you?”

“If you feel that I’ve suffered a loss, you can give the extra to the two princes as their private savings in the future.”

“Alright, I thank you on behalf of the two of them.” The Emperor was stunned for a moment before nodding.

“How did you discover the making of this glass?” He asked curiously.

“I had an idea when making soap. I wanted to make some equipment for my medical experiments, but porcelain isn’t transparent, and I couldn’t see through them clearly, so…”

“Experiment…”

“Yes, experiments for medicine.”

The Emperor nodded his head, and he didn’t ask any more questions.

After he left, he seriously considered the matter of selecting talents to carry out this project.

However, he had to think carefully about how to carry it out and who to select to be in charge.

He decided that he would select those who were involved in previous major projects, such as building bridges or the construction of river embankments.

He called Zhou Huaiming back from his mission and asked him to be in charge of building a glass workshop. He also began to gather all the construction experts.

A month later, the lampshades were sold first. As for glass windows, there was a waiting list.

After Zhou Ying learned that the Emperor had begun to pay attention to architecture, she translated all the information about architecture stored in her computer, organized it into a book, and printed it out.

She even printed out the geography and mathematical knowledge involved.

She threw a total of 20 cubic meters of books to the Emperor.

When the Emperor received the half-room full of books, he was genuinely shocked.

Because he really didn’t expect that just building a glass workshop would involve so much knowledge.

For example, there was a box full of books on building bridges, not including the knowledge needed for them.

After reading them for a while, he felt dizzy. He even had a feeling that it was more difficult than trying to aim for the top scorer in the imperial examination.

What was worse was that he could not understand them at all, especially the various calculations in the diagrams, as he had never come into contact with them before.

When he saw this, he realized how ignorant he was and how little he knew.
