So he secretly sent someone to buy a mirror.

With the promotion of these three people and the mirrors placed at the entrance of Liulifang, glass mirrors quickly became popular throughout the capital.

After hearing about this, merchants from all over the country ran away as fast as they could, all wanting to take the goods back and sell them at a high price.

Unfortunately, there are not many mirrors. It’s not that Situ Yuan is deliberately doing hunger marketing, but the current production cannot keep up. The glass factory has to produce glass windows, so mirrors can only be produced slowly.

Many people were interested in glass windows, but they were large and heavy and not convenient to transport to other places, so the merchants did not consider them.

They still prefer to buy glass mirrors and glassware.

Unfortunately, the glass factory is now busy producing glass windows and has no time to produce ordinary glassware, so these merchants are destined to return disappointed.

Just when the people of the capital were enthusiastically discussing glass windows and glass mirrors and were running to the entrance of Liulifang to watch curiously, Emperor Taihe suddenly announced to the world that he would pay for the replacement of the glass windows of the Imperial College out of his own pocket!

The entire capital was shocked, and the Imperial College was in an uproar!

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the Imperial College was in an uproar, and everyone was talking about the fact that Emperor Taihe was going to pay out of his own pocket to replace the glass windows of the Imperial College.

"Why is His Majesty suddenly so generous?"

"Why else could it be? It must be because Liulifang is making too much money!"

"It's really rare that Your Majesty, after making money, would actually think of the Imperial College."

"Have you ever seen the glass windows in Liulifang? I heard that the windows are transparent, and you can see outside clearly when you stand in the room."

"That's true. I went to the second floor of Liulifang and took a look. Even with the glass windows closed, you can still see outside clearly.

With this glass window, I can sit inside the house and enjoy the scenery outside through the window in winter without worrying about being caught in the cold wind.

"So, glass windows are really good things!"

"But these glass windows must be very expensive, right? If we really want to replace all the windows in the Imperial College with glass, the cost will be very high."

"Since Your Majesty has said that he wants to change it, he can certainly afford it."

The students were whispering to each other, their hearts full of longing, wishing that the Imperial College would immediately replace its windows with glass ones.

The teachers should be even more excited.

After all, students may not stay in the Imperial College for too long, but they have to stay there forever.

Moreover, Emperor Taihe was willing to pay out of his own pocket to replace the glass windows for their Imperial College. Doesn't this just show that Emperor Taihe remembered their Imperial College and that God's grace was immense?

An old scholar with gray hair even burst into tears: "Your Majesty is so wise—"

After the decree came down, Liulifang quickly sent people to measure the size of the windows.

Because the production is currently limited, the windows of the Imperial College cannot be replaced all at once before the New Year. They can only replace the windows in the room where the chief priest is serving as a priest with glass windows first, and the rest can be replaced after the New Year.

Naturally, no one in the Imperial College dared to object.

After all, they didn't have to pay for this matter themselves. It was Emperor Taihe who paid for it out of his own pocket. What a great favor from heaven!

Even if they have to wait for some time, they still get the advantage.

After the visitor measured the dimensions, he went back and asked a carpenter to custom-make the windows.

It is not convenient to install glass directly on windows nowadays, so they need to be customized.

Situ Yuan also had different window lattice styles designed.

Window lattices are the small wooden lattices on windows, available in a variety of styles. They serve both as partitions and as ventilation. If the lattices are densely packed, they effectively block sight lines and provide a degree of privacy.

Unless you look closely, you can't see what's going on in the house clearly.

So when Situ Yuan asked people to design the glass window styles, he roughly divided the windows into two categories. One category was windows used for viewing the scenery. No matter what style the window lattice was made of, there would be a large viewing window in the middle.

Just like the ancients left a small hole in the wall for viewing the scenery, and made it into different shapes.
