The impact of Du Qi's proclamation as emperor was still ongoing. The entire Xia Xia was filled with cheers.
Countless people were proud of it.
Countless people were cheering for it.
Especially in the current Xia Xia, they were vigorously promoting the unification of books, literature, and carriages. They had also unified the official language and writing. If one wanted to enter the officialdom, go to court, and interact with the government, they had to use a unified language and writing. This had subtly changed many people.
Although it was not easy to implement this policy in the beginning, under the temptation of many benefits, it was implemented more and more quickly. Under such circumstances, the people's recognition of Xia Xia also increased.
This was the foundation.
It was also Xia Xia's long-term strategy.
Du Qi did not care about the people's opinions. After he became emperor, he still did what he should do. Xia Xia's overall development was getting faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it was March.
On the twelfth day of the third month, when Du Qi was dealing with government affairs in the palace, Wang Ji rushed in. Wang Ji's face was full of smiles. When he saw Du Qi, he bowed respectfully.
Du Qi said, "Chancellor Wang, what's the matter for you to come here today?"
Wang Ji said seriously, "Your Majesty, Wang Ping, Tang Zhongsheng, and a group of people from the University of Science and Technology have arrived in Gaochang. They first met me and said that they have made a large piece of glass. Not only that, but the brightness and transparency of the glass have greatly improved. Not only that, they also brought a sample for Your Majesty to take a look. "
Du Qi was excited when he heard this. When he saw Wang Ping at Mingqiu Mountain, Wang Ping's glass was ordinary. Now, in just a few months, Wang Ping and the others had developed a new glass. This was good news.
The existence of glass would have a great impact.
This was because glass could be used in all aspects. Glass might not be comparable to cement in terms of usage, but its value would not be lower than cement. The breakthrough brought about by glass manufacturing would have a wider impact.
Du Qi ordered, "Bring them in."
"Yes!"
Wang Ji received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
Not long after, Wang Ping, Tang Zhongsheng, and a group of craftsmen entered. These were all people who had participated in the development of glass. After they all arrived, they respectfully bowed to Du Qi.
Du Qi ordered, "Give him a seat!"
The attendants entered in a single file. After preparing the seats, everyone took their seats.
Du Qi's gaze fell on Wang Ping. The current Wang Ping was completely different from when Du Qi had first met him. In the past, although Wang Ping looked smart, he was a little reserved. After all, he had never seen the world.
In the past few months at the University of Science and Technology, Wang Ping had seen too many people and things, broadening his horizons. He was no longer the Wang Ping of the past. Therefore, Wang Ping's expression was indifferent, and he appeared extremely calm and composed.
Du Qi said, "Wang Ping, let me have a look at your new glass."
"Yes!"
Wang Ping instructed.
At the entrance of the main hall, there were people carrying glass into the hall. It was a whole piece of glass, about six feet long and six feet wide. It was an extremely wide piece of glass.
After seeing it, Du Qi stood up and walked to the glass. He carefully looked at it and knocked on it. The length and width of this piece of glass were very good. The only flaw was that the glass was relatively thin. It was much worse than the tempered glass of the future. However, it was already good enough to have such a situation at the moment.
Du Qi said, "The glass you have developed is very good. As the leader, Wang Ping will be rewarded with 30,000 strings of coins. The rest of the participants will each receive 10,000 strings of coins. Write down the manufacturing process of the glass clearly and submit it to me. Next, I will carry out large-scale production. "
When Wang Ping heard this, he was very happy. Then, Wang Ping calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need to be rewarded. Although this glass is good, it's actually not very useful. At most, it can be used for windows and mirrors. "
Du Qi said, "It's already quite useful to be used in houses. As for mirrors, they have a wide range of uses. Just these two uses are already very good. You don't have to worry about the sales. Just do your research. As long as there are more inventions, I won't be stingy with rewards. "
When Wang Ping and the others heard this, they didn't say anything else.
However, while they were happy, they also felt a little ashamed. This was because the glass they had developed seemed to be very useful, but in fact, he didn't think it was very useful.
They all felt ashamed.
Du Qi immediately arranged for someone to fetch the book from his study in the side palace. When they were passing through Mingqiu Mountain and involved glass, Du Qi had already copied down the manufacturing process of the glass in his memory when he had nothing to do along the way.
The manufacturing process of glass ranged from ordinary glass to more detailed colored glass and tempered glass. It was a specialized glass manufacturing book. Back then, he didn't give it to Wang Ping and the others because he wanted them to develop it themselves so that they could familiarize themselves with glass. Now that they had made a breakthrough in their skills, Du Qi gave them the glass manufacturing process book.
Du Qi took the glass manufacturing process book from the chamberlain and instructed, "Wang Ping, you still have to continue researching glass manufacturing. Take this book and study it carefully. Increase your research on glass manufacturing."
Wang Ping went forward to take it, but he looked a little stunned. One had to know that they had been researching glass manufacturing and solved many problems. Only now did they make a breakthrough and produce glass.
They didn't expect Du Qi to have a glass manufacturing process book.
However, Wang Ping still didn't take it to heart. After all, Du Qi wasn't a professional. Still, he obediently put the book away and listened to Du Qi's speech. Du Qi continued to talk about some arrangements regarding glass. After this, there would be specialized people in charge of glass manufacturing and sales. After everything was arranged, everyone left.
When Wang Ping walked out of the main hall, everyone surrounded him with curious looks. When he saw everyone's expressions, especially Tang Zhongsheng's curious and thirsty look, he said, "Teacher Tang, what are you doing?"
Tang Zhongsheng knew about Du Qi's situation because many of the books in the academy, including some manufacturing processes and skills such as steel smelting, were all given by Du Qi.
In other words, they were all figured out by Du Qi.
The books given by Du Qi could withstand research and there wouldn't be any problems. It was precisely because of the contents of the books that everyone in the University of Science and Technology held Du Qi in high esteem.
Now that Du Qi gave Wang Ping a book, everyone was excited.
This must be a new product.
Tang Zhongsheng said impatiently, "Young Wang, every book written by His Majesty is the essence. You should know the contents of many books in the academy. These books were all written by His Majesty. Every book is the fruit of His Majesty's blood and sweat. They are all His Majesty's guidance. Therefore, this book must be of great value. "
Wang Ping's expression was a little stunned. He didn't know about these before. Now that he heard Tang Zhongsheng's words, he came back to his senses. In his heart, he respected Du Qi even more.
However, Wang Ping said, "Teacher Tang, seniors, I have no objections if you want to take a look. However, let's talk about it after I finish reading it. "
When Tang Zhongsheng and the others heard this, they felt pity.
All of them felt that it was a pity that they couldn't read the book immediately.
Tang Zhongsheng's eyes turned, and he suddenly said, "Young Wang, how about this? We'll go back with you. When you read, we'll read with you. In short, we'll all read together and read next to you. "
"Yes, yes!"
The rest of the people agreed.
Everyone agreed. Especially when they thought about being able to continue reading, they were all overjoyed.
However, Wang Ping didn't refuse.
The group of people then left.
