She began to serve Ying Su.

And Ying Su, seeing her like this, was stunned on the spot: "You... what are you doing?"

Princess Yushu was stunned, looking as if she didn't know what she had done wrong.

And seeing her expression, Ying Su was speechless on the spot; this Princess Yushu was too innocent, she actually didn't understand at all!

Simply put, he whispered something in Princess Yushu's ear!

In that instant, Princess Yushu was scared silly, her face full of resistance, full of fear!

Ying Su laughed, patting her shoulder!

Half a quarter of an hour later, Ying Su looked satisfied!

He ordered Princess Yushu: "Swallow!"

Princess Yushu looked aggrieved, but she dared not resist Ying Su at all, and in the end, she could only obey obediently.

Seeing her like this, Ying Su nodded with satisfaction, hugged her waist, and finally, headed toward the bed!

More than half an hour later, Ying Su leaned against the head of the bed, incomparably satisfied!

And Princess Yushu looked at Ying Su with extreme terror and fear!

At this moment, even her body was trembling slightly!

Ying Su said: "You don't need to be afraid. Given your good performance, I will now point out two paths for your Tuan!"

"First, surrender the whole country to Qin; Tuan can become a commandery of Great Qin, and your father can become the local Commandery Governor!"

"Second, surrender the whole country to Qin; Tuan can become a commandery of Great Qin, and your father and mother come to Xianyang to live a comfortable life!"

"Pass this news to your father and mother; they can choose either of these two clear paths to avoid Tuan being littered with corpses!"

"But if they choose neither, then I will surely destroy Tuan; this day is only a matter of time!"

After Ying Su finished speaking, he began to sleep, while Princess Yushu curled up, afraid, and trembling.

Looking at the spots of red on the bed, in the end, tears flowed out!

But she did not delay at all; the next day, she immediately found the Tuan envoy and told the envoy Ying Su's words word for word.

After hearing this, the envoy was shocked and incredulous: "These two paths are both for our Tuan to surrender to Qin; the only difference lies in how they treat the King and Queen!"

"Princess, you... you failed to kill this person?"

Princess Yushu lowered her head and said: "I... I couldn't bring myself to do it, and he was too vigilant. If I had been discovered poisoning him last night, he would have immediately destroyed Tuan!"

Princess Yushu cried, telling the Tuan envoy what happened last night!

After hearing this, the Tuan envoy couldn't help but sigh: "Princess, do not try to assassinate him again; you cannot assassinate him!"

"Wait for me to return to the country and inform the King and Queen before making a decision!"

"It's just... Princess!"

"You have been wronged!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Princess Yushu!

And Princess Yushu watched the Tuan envoy leave.

Then, she looked at the huge palace behind her, her face full of sorrow!

From now on, will she live in this cage-like place?

Thinking of this, her face was full of despair!

And just at this moment, Ying Su came over, directly hugged the waist of the Princess of Tuan, and asked her: "Has the Tuan envoy returned to the country?"

Princess Yushu was extremely uncomfortable with this, but she dared not struggle or resist, and could only nod gently along with him:

"Yes!"

Ying Su smiled, then said: "I will take you to a place!"

After saying that, regardless of whether Princess Yushu agreed or not, he took Princess Yushu directly toward the Engineering Office!

Engineering Office!

It is called the Engineering Office!

But it had long since become a building complex.

And the scale of the land is very large!

There are mainly three places!

One is papermaking and movable type printing!

The paper and books printed with movable type from here are sold directly to the whole country!

Even... even when Zheng He went to sea, he brought some paper and printed books!

Two is steel refining and gunpowder production!

Steel, gunpowder!

These are necessities for industrial development!

Although Ying Su is still far from starting large-scale industrial development, even if he only produces artillery and steel knives, he cannot do without steel!

As for gunpowder... it is currently in short supply!

Just because there is no saltpeter!

Currently, the latrines in Xianyang City and even some surrounding commanderies have been scraped clean.

Now, no more saltpeter can be obtained.

It is precisely because of this that the artillery produced now is just an empty shell; most of the artillery doesn't even have ammunition!

Flintlock guns, muskets, and revolvers, etc., are about the same!

Because of the gunpowder, bullets are too rare, and they are all just empty frames!

But... Ying Su never ordered to stop production!

Because, in his view, gunpowder will be found sooner or later!

The third area is the kiln!

In fact, regarding kilns, Great Qin already had them!

But they were for firing pottery, not porcelain!

After Tang Ying came, Ying Su directly asked him to modify the kiln, so that not only pottery but also porcelain could be fired!

And today is the day the second batch of porcelain comes out of the kiln.

When Ying Su arrived here, Li Si was already waiting here!

"Your Majesty, those porcelains are regarded as treasures by the nobles!"

"The last porcelain bowl I took out was auctioned for a high price of ten thousand coins!"

"Ten thousand coins?"

Ying Su smiled; he was not surprised at all.

Even in the later generations when porcelain was everywhere, Tang Ying's porcelain was sold for millions or even tens of millions.

In this era, even if money is worth money, to be honest, it's still a bit of a loss!

But it is understandable; after all, this thing has just come out, and the porcelain culture has not yet taken shape!

People don't know much about the functions of porcelain!

Ten thousand coins is already very good for a new product!

"Then how do you plan to price this item?"

Ying Su grabbed a blue and white porcelain bowl and asked Li Si.

Li Si said: "It is difficult to price this item. If we talk about its use, it is only for eating and drinking!"

"Nobles buy it mostly because its appearance is exquisite and beautiful, so they buy it!"

"And if we talk about practicality..."

Li Si shook his head and finally said: "It is fine to sell this item as a luxury item like jade, but it is probably difficult to sell it in large quantities!"

He said again.

Ying Su nodded, feeling that what Li Si said made a lot of sense.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Li Si: "Promote this item as having the effect of prolonging life!"

"Using this item for drinking water and eating meals often can increase one's lifespan!"

"Ah?"

"This... will it work?"

Li Si was shocked!

Ying Su said:
