"My esteemed ministers, this glass is not only suitable for trains but also for your very homes!!"
"Ministers, imagine if your houses were fitted with such transparent glass, would not your homes become bright and airy!!"
Lin Tian's words left many ministers stunned.
Before this, they had not considered such a possibility.
Thus, they had merely focused on praising the ingenuity of the glass.
However, now that they thought about fitting such glass in their own homes, they were immediately enticed.
If their homes were fitted with such glass, it would not only be brighter but also elevate their status.
After all, even the Xianyang Palace was fitted with glass, and they had seen sunlight filtering into the grand hall.
Under such circumstances, they naturally wished to see sunlight in their own homes as well.
Furthermore, if Xianyang Palace had it installed, and they did too, they would truly be following in Ying Zheng's footsteps.
Moreover, if they possessed what Ying Zheng possessed, it would not be shameful.
Upon this thought, countless ministers yearned for the glass.
"I wonder how much wealth this glass requires? Can we afford to install it??"
"Rest assured, esteemed ministers, you can afford it! Because even common folk will be able to install this glass in the future!"
"Currently, production is limited, and the price is a bit high, but it is absolutely within your means to afford!"
"Oh~ So even common folk can use it. Now that you say it, I am relieved!!"
Hearing that even common folk could afford it, the ministers were completely at ease. If common folk could afford it, then naturally they, as ministers, could too.
With this in mind, they were eager to order the glass immediately.
However, they also knew that this was the imperial court.
Even if they wished to order the glass, this was not the time.
They would at least wait until after the court session, when the time was ripe, before they could order the glass.
Therefore, they attended the rest of the court absentmindedly, and after the session, they flocked towards Lin Tian.
"Your Highness, can we order this glass??"
"Indeed! Your Highness, we desire such glass too!!"
"Can you give us that glass? Our homes are too dim, we desperately need that glass!!"
At this moment, the ministers looked at Lin Tian with fervent eyes, hoping that Lin Tian would provide them with glass to install in their homes.
To this, Lin Tian had already anticipated.
Therefore, Lin Tian said to them at this juncture:
"Please rest assured, there are dedicated personnel handling this matter. You only need to contact them!"
"They will not only provide you with glass but also installation services!"
"Of course, having craftsmen come to your home for installation will incur an additional fee, so if you wish to have it installed quickly, you may need to pay a little more!"
Hearing Lin Tian's words, the ministers nodded repeatedly.
Paying a little extra was not a big deal for them.
After all, they were willing to pay such high prices for glazed tiles.
The current glass was at a common folk's price, so even if they paid extra, it wouldn't be exorbitant.
Therefore, they felt they could afford it.
And when the goods arrived, they discovered that they could indeed afford them.
The price was not excessively high, and the pricing was very reasonable.
With such reasonable prices, even the ministers were thoroughly convinced.
When they saw the glass installed in their homes, every single one of them became ecstatic.
"This is the feeling, this is the feeling!"
"My lord, what is this feeling?"
"Do you not feel that our home has become brighter?"
"I do feel it! My lord, didn't you have the windows of our house removed?"
"Removed all the windows? I have installed glass windows! We still have windows!"
Upon hearing the words "windows removed," the minister became somewhat indignant.
He had clearly installed something superior, yet his wife thought he had removed the windows.
This instantly made him feel that his wife understood nothing and was hopelessly outdated.
His wife, too, was genuinely curious about the presence of the glass.
"Glass windows??"
Uttering this question, his wife instinctively reached out to touch the glass.
This action made the minister of Great Qin cry out in alarm.
"Don't touch it!!"
He did not want his wife to touch it, because after touching it, the glass would lose some of its transparency and leave smudges.
But his wife still touched it.
Because of this, the minister was instantly rendered speechless.
And his wife became even more astonished.
"This... there is something here, why could I not see it before??"
"Hmph! Now you know the power of glass, don't you??"
Since his wife had already touched it, trying to stop her now was meaningless.
Therefore, he lifted his head, his face full of pride as he spoke.
To be honest, when he had first seen the glass, he, like his wife, had been filled with surprise.
However, seeing his wife's astonished expression, he could not help but show off.
Speaking of this, he also felt a sense of pride.
After all, not many people possessed glass at this time, and everyone loved this miraculous glass.
Under such circumstances, they naturally had to promote it vigorously.
It was precisely because they held this thought that their wives became even more amazed.
"Gasp! There are such miraculous things in this world, how did they come about??"
"How did they come about? This is something created by His Highness the Crown Prince, so naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince made it!!"
"I never expected this to be something created by His Highness the Crown Prince, and even more so, I never expected you to possess something created by His Highness the Crown Prince! This is truly incredible!"
"With this, even at night, we can see the starry sky indoors!!"
Upon hearing this, the minister was also taken aback.
He had only used the glass to see sunlight and had not considered that at night, through this glass, one could see the stars.
If one could truly sit in the grand hall at night and see the vast expanse of stars, it would be a unique experience.
At this thought, a flicker of desire arose in his heart.
Simultaneously, he felt that installing the glass was truly worthwhile!
