My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 65 Draw a pie for His Majesty

She didn't know how long the other party stood behind him and looked at him, but Shen Yuan only heard an incredible word coming from above his head.

"What did you draw? What do you mean?"

Qin He's expression was full of unprecedented shock and solemnity. He understood what Shen Yuan was describing, and it was precisely because he understood it that he was greatly shocked.

"There are some things that I can't explain now. Please don't pursue them for the time being. I will tell you frankly when the time comes. I just ask you, if you take this thing, can you exchange it for the antidote from your majesty? My mother, wait. There won’t be that much time left.”

Shen Yuan turned around and looked at Qin He calmly. She really couldn't explain the origin of this thing, so she could only use dragging words to decide.

With Qin He's scheming and mind, he should have noticed the difference between himself and Shen a long time ago. There will be a day when the two of them will be honest with each other, but not now.

"Okay! I won't ask you about the origin of this thing. It's just that it's too shocking. How to explain it to His Majesty is a problem. Emperors have been suspicious since ancient times. If Your Majesty wants to find out for sure that it came from you, I'm afraid you will never have peace again. .”

Qin He took the stack of paper in her hand and said disapprovingly: "If you want to save your mother, this is not the only way. Asking your parents to come to the palace to beg His Majesty can also get you the antidote."

Shen Yuan sighed softly: "It is indeed possible to ask for the antidote, but is His Majesty's favor so owed? Don't we, the Qin family, need to pay it back in the future? Instead of asking for it at the expense of our parents, we have to ask for it. If we owe someone a favor, wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient for us to barter with His Majesty and clear the money and goods? Who knows what the Qin family will use to repay His Majesty's favor in the future? "

Qin He was speechless. This was exactly what he was worried about, so he had not mentioned it before.

Shen Yuan said again: "Just tell His Majesty that I have nothing to do. I saw this iron-forging technique in a miscellaneous book. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I know it is a serious matter and I dare not It is kept privately, so I specially compiled it and presented it to His Majesty."

"Do you think His Majesty is so easy to fool?" Qin He was dumbfounded.

"So what if your Majesty doesn't believe me? In the end, your Majesty can't find anything wrong with me anyway. No matter how suspicious he is, he will have no choice but to accept this statement."

"Anyway, the miscellaneous books were accidentally burned."

Shen Yuan blinked her big innocent eyes and said very bachelorly. "Is the iron-forging technique you wrote about really usable?"

Although Qin He had never doubted her, he still had to confirm it again because of the seriousness of the matter.

"The general parameters are correct. There may be slight differences in some data, but as long as the craftsmen continue to experiment, the finished product will definitely be forged."

As he talked, Shen Yuan suddenly realized that Qin He couldn't understand the professional terms he was talking about, so he changed his method and explained it to him in detail.

"For example, the temperature of the smelting furnace, the firing time, the number of hammerings, etc., may be somewhat different in actual forging, but as long as you find a craftsman who is proficient in this area and try it a few times, you can always succeed. The most important thing is The construction of the smelting furnace is based on the ore called 'coal'. Only by using 'coal' instead of charcoal as fuel can we forge good iron."

Qin He solemnly said: "If this method can be accomplished, you will make great contributions to the country."

Shen Yuan was not optimistic, "Now everything is just talk on paper, and it is not easy to succeed. This must be made clear to His Majesty in advance, so as not to be suspected of deceiving the Emperor."

She really had no confidence in ancient production conditions and mineral exploration technology, and it would take years and months to find coal, so this stack of paper was at best just a pie she drew for Emperor Qianyuan.

She was just betting that any emperor could not refuse the temptation when he saw that there would be a weapon that was ahead of other countries.

Emperor Qianyuan happened to be an ambitious emperor, and Shen Yuan believed that he would not miss the opportunity to strengthen his army and benefit the country.

So using an opportunity to strengthen the country in exchange for an antidote that was insignificant to the emperor was why Shen Yuan believed that this deal would succeed.

On the contrary, if what she presented was a perfect plan that could be used immediately after taking it, then Emperor Qianyuan should be afraid of and guard against himself.

Only this kind of thing that has not been proven but is possible can appear real and credible, and make people want to stop and be willing to give it a try.
