After the emperor ordered the people to investigate this matter, he got the palace attendants to invite those from the Ministry of Works into the palace.
This news naturally spread out.
Everyone was a little puzzled. Why did the emperor summon the works minister into the palace as soon as Shi Qingluo and her husband left.
The works minister was also confused.
However, after he read the few pieces of paper given by the emperor, he immediately revealed an excited expression.
"Your Majesty, if this method of refining iron is successful, it can save a lot of money."
Recently, the Ministry of Works had been in dire need of money, but the old officials in the Ministry of Revenue were stingy and refused to distribute grants.
Now that he had this, he could brazenly ask the Ministry of Revenue for money.
If getting refined iron was successful, it would be of great benefit to the Ministry of Works.
