Because it's still February, it's already early.

When the night covers the earth, the whole capital is once again plunged into darkness, in this era, even if it is the capital at night, basically everywhere is black lights blind, and only some places engaged in special industries can still see some lights.

However, the ancient and modern buildings are completely different here, because a large number of mirrors are used in the decoration, and the windows are also glass windows, as well as a large number of glass lamps, glass chandeliers and so on.

When the sky was dark, Liu Jin had already asked people to light the candles, and now it is not bad for money, the candles are lit casually, under the reflection of many mirrors and glass, the entire ancient and modern buildings are brightly lit, as if they are from the palace in the sky, and they have immediately become a focus in the entire capital.

The floor of the ancient and modern buildings is also relatively high, and there are many places where you can see the ancient and modern buildings, so that the ancient and modern buildings are like a high lighthouse to illuminate one side.

Well, this is also a way for Liu Jin to come up with an advertisement, this light Liu Jin is ready to light until dawn, and he is ready to do so for a long time in the future.

Although it is profitable to buy mirrors, but because the price is too high, the number of people who can consume is relatively limited, don't look at the first day to be able to sell a million taels of silver, after this return to calm, Liu Jin estimates that it is good to be able to have tens of thousands of taels of business a day.

If you want to make money from glass, you must make these powerful people in the capital accustomed to things made of glass, such as glass chandeliers, glass lampstands, window glass, etc., these things are naturally indispensable.

How to let everyone know the effect of these things, this night to light up, so that the whole ancient and modern building looks brightly lit, bright and dazzling is the best advertisement.

At the same time, this can also appear that the ancient and modern buildings are very high-grade, although the things of the ancient and modern buildings are expensive, but they are definitely worth the money, the houses of this era are dark most of the time, and the light is very poor.

Now the ancient and modern buildings are photographed like this, and there is a huge contrast in the sky, and the effect is naturally good.

In the palace.

Zhu Houzhao dragged his somewhat tired body back to Empress Zhang's Qianning Palace, in recent days, the little prince of Tatar has repeatedly gone south, constantly wantonly plundering the border, so that the border town area is full of smoke, corpses are everywhere.

Compared with the past, this time the little prince seems to be more ferocious, where he passes, there is almost no grass, everything is looted, things that cannot be snatched, houses, etc., and even directly set fire, as if he is taking revenge for the big loss he suffered last time.

Because of this incident, Emperor Hongzhi has not come to Qianning Palace for many days, and has been discussing with the ministers day and night about the strategy to deal with it.

It was only because of the long-standing emphasis on literature and light on military force that led to the abolition of armaments, and in the fifth year of Hongzhi, the compromise of grain payment was the method of compromising with silver, and salt merchants did not need to work hard to transport grain to the border towns to obtain salt introduction, so the military needs of the border towns were not guaranteed, and the combat effectiveness was low.

can only rely on the tall city and the Great Wall to defend against the attack of the northern nomads, very passive, even if the Hongzhi Emperor and the princes of the court are competing one by one, they can only be in a hurry, and they can't come up with a good way.

In addition to the matter of the little prince, recently, there have been famines in Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi and other places, and the things predicted by Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet last year, seem to be happening.

Because of the cold winter, the winter wheat harvest in the northernmost provinces has been greatly affected, and the situation is most serious in the north of Zhili, and many areas have even failed to harvest.

At this time, it should be the time of the winter wheat harvest, and the new grain is harvested, which is logically the most abundant time, and the general grain price is also the lowest time.

However, because the winter was too cold, the winter wheat was greatly affected, and the yield was extremely low, which was the most severely affected in Beizhili, and even the large-scale harvest in the areas of Beijing, Tianjin, and Yongping Prefecture was lost.

Without new grain, the old grain was already eaten, and famine began to appear in various regions, and it will become more severe as time goes on.

Emperor Hongzhi was so worried that he didn't have a good rest for a few days, and the whole person looked very tired.

However, when he just walked into the Qianning Palace, the whole person was immediately attracted by the light here in the Qianning Palace, the entire Qianning Palace was very bright, and the lights were bright, as if it was daytime.

"Your Majesty~"

When Emperor Hongzhi arrived, Empress Zhang also immediately hurried over to greet him.

"What are these things?"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Qianning Palace, the windows here were replaced with glass windows, all the lamps and lanterns here were replaced with glass lamps, the crystal glass chandeliers were hung on the beams of the palace, plus a glass mirror, the whole Qianning Palace was very bright, and it was shining everywhere.

I can't find the appearance of the original Qianning Palace at all, in the past, although this was the residence of the queen, Emperor Hongzhi was very fond of Empress Zhang.

But there aren't too many candles lit here at night, and it's not very bright in general, and it looks brighter than it is during the day.

In particular, the crystal glass chandelier above the head does not have many candles lit on it, but it is like a small sun, brilliant and bright.

"These are all things sent by the prince, I heard that the prince and that Liu Jin worked together to make them."

Empress Zhang smiled and began to introduce it to Emperor Hongzhi: "You have seen this glass mirror and know it. ”

"This is a glass lampstand, put the candle in, not afraid of the wind, but also brighter, and above is a crystal glass chandelier, come and see, this is the prince specially prepared for Your Majesty the four treasures of glass style, this is a crystal pen, crystal pen holder, crystal inkstone, ....."

"And this is the prince's myopia glasses specially made for Your Majesty, I heard the prince say that after wearing these myopia glasses, you will be able to see things more clearly."

When Empress Zhang heard this, she began to introduce these newly added things to Emperor Hongzhi like a few treasures, and the prince has always been stubborn and has never let her worry.

I didn't expect that during this period of time, a lot of things have been sent to Qianning Palace one after another, and today I even asked people to send these things over and redress Qianning Palace.

Not to mention that these things make Queen Zhang like them very much, but the prince's heart alone also makes her very happy, and her heart is as sweet as eating honey, and she keeps sighing that the prince has finally grown up.
