Because it¡¯s still February, the sky is already getting dark very early.
When night enveloped the earth, the entire capital was once again plunged into darkness. In this era, even at night in the capital, basically everywhere was dark, and only some places engaged in special industries could still be seen. Some lights.
But the Gujin Building is completely different, because a large number of mirrors are used in the decoration, the windows are also glass windows, and there are also a large number of glass lamps, glass chandeliers, etc.
As soon as it got dark, Liu Jin had already asked people to light candles. Now there was no shortage of money. Candles could be lit casually. Under the reflection of many mirrors and glass, the entire ancient and modern building was brightly lit, like a candle from the sky. Like a palace, it immediately became a focus of the entire capital.
The floor of the Gujin Building is also relatively high, and there are many places where you can see the Gujin Building, so that the Gujin Building is like a tall lighthouse lighting up one area.
Well, this is also a way of advertising that Liu Jin came up with. Liu Jin plans to keep this light on until dawn, and he plans to keep it like this for a long time in the future.
Although it is profitable to buy mirrors, because the price is too high, the number of people who can spend it is relatively limited. Even if he can sell a million taels of silver on the first day, after returning to calm, Liu Jin estimates that he can sell tens of thousands of taels a day. Business is considered good.
If you want to make money from glass, you must make these powerful people in the capital accustomed to things made of glass. Glass chandeliers, glass lampstands, window glass, etc. These things are naturally indispensable.
How to let everyone know the effect of these things? It is the best advertisement to light them at night and make the entire Gujin Building look brightly lit and dazzling.
At the same time, this can also make the Gujin Building appear to be of high quality. Although the items in the Gujin Building are expensive, they are definitely worth the money. Houses in this era are dark most of the time, no matter day or night, and the light is very poor.
Now when the ancient and modern buildings are taken in this way, a huge and sharp contrast is immediately formed, and the effect is naturally overwhelming.
In the palace.
Zhu Houzhao dragged his somewhat tired body back to Queen Zhang's Qianning Palace. In recent days, the little Tatar prince has been going south repeatedly, and he has been plundering the border wantonly, making the border town area full of smoke and corpses everywhere.
Compared to the past, this time the little prince seemed to be even more cruel. There was almost no grass growing wherever he went. Everything was looted. The things that could not be taken away, houses, etc. were even set on fire. It seemed that he was seeking revenge. This is the biggest loss I've ever suffered.
Because of this incident, Emperor Hongzhi has not come to Qianning Palace for many days, and has been discussing countermeasures with ministers day and night.
It¡¯s just that the long-term emphasis on civil affairs over military affairs has led to the depletion of armaments. In addition, in the fifth year of Hongzhi, the tradeoff between grain and silver was adopted. Salt merchants did not need to work hard to transport grain to border towns to obtain salt imports. , so the military supplies of the border towns cannot be guaranteed and the combat effectiveness is low.
We can only rely on tall cities and the Great Wall to defend against the attacks of northern nomads. We are very passive. Even if Emperor Hongzhi and the court officials tried their best, they could only act in a hurry and could not come up with a good solution.
In addition to what happened to the little prince, famines have also begun to occur in Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi and other places recently. What Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, predicted last year seems to be happening.
Because the winter is too cold, the winter wheat harvest in the northernmost provinces has been greatly affected. Among them, the situation in Beizhili is the most serious, and many areas have even experienced no harvest.
This time is supposed to be the time when winter wheat is harvested and new grains are harvested. Logically speaking, this is the time when food is most abundant, and general food prices are also at their lowest.
But because the winter was too cold, winter wheat was greatly affected and the yield was extremely low. Beizhili was the most severely affected, and there were even large-scale harvest failures in Beijing, Tianjin, and Yongping Prefecture.
Without new food, the old food has already been eaten to an extent, and famine has begun to appear in various regions, and as time goes by, the famine will become more serious.
Emperor Hongzhi was very preoccupied and had not had a good rest for several days. He looked very tired.
But when he just walked into Qianning Palace, he was immediately attracted by the light in Qianning Palace. The entire Qianning Palace was very bright, brightly lit, like daylight.
"Your Majesty~"
When Emperor Hongzhi arrived, Queen Zhang immediately hurried over to greet him.
"What are theseWhat? "
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Qianning Palace. The windows here were replaced with glass windows, and all the lamps here were replaced with glass lamps. Crystal glass chandeliers were hung on the beams in the palace, and a side of the face was added. Glass mirrors, the entire Qianning Palace is very bright, sparkling everywhere.
It is impossible to find the original Qianning Palace at all. In the past, although this was the residence of the empress, Emperor Hongzhi loved Empress Zhang very much.
But there won¡¯t be too many candles lit here at night, and overall it¡¯s not very bright. Like now, it looks brighter than during the day.
Especially the crystal glass chandelier above the head. There are not many candles on it, but it is like a small sun, overflowing with light and extremely bright.
"These are all things sent by the prince. I heard that the prince and Liu Jin worked together to make them."
Queen Zhang smiled and began to introduce it to Emperor Hongzhi: "You have already seen this glass mirror and you know it."
"This is a glass lampstand. If you put the candle in it, it will not be blown by the wind and it will be brighter. There is also a crystal glass chandelier on top. Come and take a look. Here are the four treasures of glass style specially prepared by the prince for your majesty. This It¡¯s a crystal pen, crystal pen holder, crystal inkstone¡¡±
"And these are myopia glasses that the prince made specially for your majesty. I heard from the prince that after wearing these myopia glasses, you will see things more clearly."
When Empress Zhang heard this, she began to introduce the newly added things in the palace to Emperor Hongzhi like a treasure trove. The prince had always been naughty and never made her worry.
Unexpectedly, many things have been sent to Qianning Palace one after another during this period. Today, people even sent these things over to re-decorate Qianning Palace.
Putting aside the fact that these things made Empress Zhang like it very much, the prince's kindness also made her very happy. Her heart was as sweet as honey, and she kept lamenting that the prince had finally grown up. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
