The next day, the palace received a secret fold from Xia Ke.

When Sun Congshan handed over the secret fold to the emperor, the emperor was really stunned for a moment, "Xia Ke handed it over?" Is it so fast? ”

When he asked Xia Ke to tell him something yesterday, Xia Ke's expression was a dilemma, and he repeatedly emphasized that Xia Yanqing was a girl and could only do her best, but as for the result, I really didn't dare to guarantee it.

As a result, it was so quickly folded, and the emperor even suspected that Xia Yanqing was really out of choice and had no clue, so he didn't waste time and replied as soon as possible.

Despite thinking so, the emperor still opened the secret fold to see what Xia Ke had written.

Unexpectedly, this look really surprised him.

The woman of the Xia family really has a good brain, it is simply too good.

He just had two proposals here, and the most important one was the one that would make the rich and wealthy pay for the money.

Such an immediate efficiency made the emperor extremely satisfied.

Xia Ke also explained that Xia Yanqing has not thought of a way to reduce the price of glass and increase production for the time being.

After talking about this, there is still a long time to be written.

The emperor was surprised, and then looked down.

Then his face became solemn, and he read the fold seriously, closed it slowly, and was silent.

After a long time, he sighed, "Xia Ke is really a capable official, I didn't mistake him." ”

Sun Congshan, who was serving on the side, and several eunuchs and palace maids were also surprised when they heard the emperor's admiration. It is really rare to get such a moving praise from the emperor.

Especially Sun Congshan, yesterday the emperor summoned Xia Ke, and he was accompanying him.

The reason why the emperor talked to Xia Ke was mainly to tell Xia Yanqing to do things. It's just that there is a difference between inside and outside, and the rules and regulations often have to be talked about, so I can only summon Xia Ke and let him pass the word on his behalf.

Xia Yanqing is a special existence, so the emperor acquiesced to her being a woman from an official eunuch's family, but she showed up to do things outside when she had no worries about food and clothing.

But it does not mean that the emperor supports the situation of women in charge of affairs abroad.

It was Xia Yanqing who did things, but it was Xia Ke who was praised by the emperor, what is the situation?

Sun Congshan was surprised that even if Xia Ke talked to his daughter quickly, it was also the credit of the Xia family's daughter. However, listening to the emperor's tone, it was clear that he greatly appreciated Xia Ke.

The emperor sighed to himself when he said this, and he didn't want to get any response.

After sighing, he read the secret fold from beginning to end again, and then instructed the little eunuch who passed the word to "go to the cabinet to spread the word and find the four prime ministers to discuss the matter." ”

The emperor looked for Xia Ke, and that was to order things. How things are done, you always have to give the emperor a reply.

Xia Ke is a straightforward temperament, since her daughter has already given the answer, it is better to reply to the emperor early than to drag it out.

If it can be done, the emperor can also feel at ease earlier. If you can't do it, the emperor won't wait, he dispelled his thoughts early, and saved the trouble.

When Xia Ke wrote an excerpt to the emperor, he didn't feel a burden at all. The reason why the things ordered by the emperor came to fruition so quickly was not because of his daughter's ability to defy the sky, but because the glazed tile was originally an extension of the glaze, and it could be made smoothly without thinking about it or developing it separately.

Xia Ke explained very much in the excerpt that the glazed tiles to be made by Qingyun Zhai are absolutely different from the glazed tiles in the traditional sense.

The idea of glazed tiles did make the emperor very satisfied, but what the emperor appreciated was his next proposal.

Xia Ke did not mention telescopes, but he suggested that the imperial court strictly control the production of glass in the Liang Dynasty, apparently for this reason.

The control mentioned by Xia Ke is not to restrict the production of workshops, but to open a glass workshop must be reported to the government, and the yamen agrees and records it before it can be made.

He suggested that the imperial court should regard glass manufacturing as the exclusive secret industry of the Liang Dynasty, and that any glass workshop that was not registered with the government would be punished.

Glass practitioners are not allowed to disclose the secret recipe and production method of glass to unrelated personnel, and once violated, they will be dealt with according to the situation, and will be exiled to the army at least and beheaded at worst.

The glass workshop produces glass, and it must also be reported to the imperial court for the record before it can develop new varieties.

In addition, there are also major craftsmen engaged in glass manufacturing, which must also be registered and reported, and these glass craftsmen must also inform the yamen if there is a turnover of personnel.

When the emperor discussed the secrecy measures of the telescope with the Ministry of War and several veteran generals, he put forward a number of rules and regulations, but he did not think that the imitation and research of the telescope could be stopped from the source.

Xia Ke's suggestion made up for this loophole in a timely manner, which is tantamount to adding another layer of protection to the telescope.

Limiting glass production to a certain area, except for civilian flat glass and some glassware, is not allowed to make other items, and it can prevent people from realizing the truth of what the glass lens imagines.

And, even if someone discovers the structure of the telescope by accident, but they don't have the corresponding materials at hand, it will be in vain.

Several cabinet elders in the cabinet didn't know the existence of the telescope, they were called by the emperor, and then told that a series of measures should be formulated to strictly control the production of glass.

You know, when such a decree is issued, there must be a law on it. Then it was distributed to the states and counties of the Great Liang Dynasty, including the prefecture city, the county seat, and the villages and towns. It's a big project.

But in this matter, the emperor's attitude was resolute, even more resolute than when he praised the daughter of the Xia family a few days ago.

Several old ministers thought about it again and again, and finally decided to respect the emperor's orders. This matter, that is, a little troublesome, has no conflict with other decrees of the imperial court and the interests of the family, so it should not cause any trouble.

As for those who are limited or lost because of this, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the glass industry of the Xia family, hehe, this is not something they should consider.

To the surprise of the four cabinet elders, when the court discussed the matter the next morning, the other ministers took a posture that they had nothing to do with themselves. However, several officials led by Shang Shu and veteran generals such as Ning Guogong of the Ministry of War unexpectedly strongly supported them.

At this time, the four treacherous and cunning cabinet elders faintly felt that the promulgation of this decree was probably related to the army. Well, this is really a must-do.

With the statement of the military department and the military bosses, the draft document on the control of the glass industry soon came out.

Half a month later, that is, on the second day of the third month of the 18th year of Qingyuan, several decrees on strict control of glass production were sent from the capital to the prefectures and counties of the Liang Dynasty, and then the government offices of the prefectures and counties were copied and sent to the counties and towns within their jurisdiction.

There are now three glass workshops in the capital, Qingyunzhai is the largest, and the remaining two are the other two who have stolen glass recipes and practices and are still surviving.

With such an order, of course the Jingzhao Mansion had to send a copy to Qingyunzhai, so Xia Yanqing got the document relatively early.

When she got the paperwork, she was really stunned.
