Fortunately, Chu Anping is a martial artist who has reached the level of a half-step master, and he is now in his sixties. He is no longer very interested in a mirror that can clearly reflect himself. He is now old and his looks have faded. If he sees his wrinkled face every day, he will feel very old.
However, after working in the Royal Government Affairs Office for a long time, she had some understanding of some court affairs. She was not interested in such a mirror. However, the women and female relatives of the aristocratic families and court officials were very fond of such mirrors that could clearly reflect their own appearance.
Everyone loves beauty, especially young and beautiful women. A mirror that allows them to clearly see their appearance allows them to put on makeup and dress themselves. If such a mirror is made smaller, these women can even carry it with them to check their appearance at any time and notice if there are any flaws in their makeup.
Chu Anping could already imagine how much profit the court could make if it started selling such mirrors, but he just didn't know whether His Majesty could produce such mirrors in large quantities.
Chu Anping asked, "Your Majesty, where did you get this glass-like mirror? It's simply a divine object."
Chu Fan said, "These are glass mirrors made of glass, not colored glaze. When the Ministry of Industry's production process becomes more mature, they can be mass-produced."
Chu Fan took out some glass beads that he had produced when he was refining glass. Chu Anping and others had never seen glass before, so they mistook the glass beads Chu Fan took out for colored glass.
Chu Anping continued, "Your Majesty, where did you get so many defective colored glass beads from? Although these colored glass beads are not pure, they should still be able to sell for some money."
Chu Fan shook his head and said, "These are not colored glaze, but just glass beads. In fact, such things are not valuable. I have asked my eldest brother to take these glass beads to Japan and bury them in various places in Japan, so that the forces of other countries in Shengwu Continent can fight in Japan.
In the future, more and better glass products will be produced. What I am thinking about is whether the silver rewards for the martial arts competition can be replaced with trophies made of this kind of glass. Then when the royal family of our Wei Kingdom awards the trophy, they can no longer say that this is a glass trophy, but rather that the "glory trophy" for the warriors who won the ranking is made of glass.
As long as the royal family of our Wei Kingdom does not say in front of anyone that such a trophy is made of glass, then even if Wei Kingdom starts selling glass products in large quantities in the future, these warriors will not be able to say anything when they know that the glass is not worth much money. After all, the royal family of our Wei Kingdom only recognizes that this is a "glory trophy" that represents glory, not a prize given to them to sell for money.
Sixth Master, you should design a trophy with a shape and pattern in the future. It must be exquisite and full of symbolic meaning, so that all warriors who see such a trophy will yearn for it and desire to own it.
Moreover, I have not planned to sell glass in the near future, so when the glass products first came out, even if the royal family of our Wei State said that it was a glass product, everyone in Wei State would think it was a precious glass product when seeing the transparent luster and exquisite craftsmanship of the glass.
Therefore, the royal family does not need to worry about disappointing the warriors who come to participate in Wei State's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament by using such glass products as rewards."
Although Chu Anping didn't know what kind of glass Chu Fan was talking about, the glass mirror alone convinced him. Chu Anping held the glass mirror in his hand and wondered if he could ask His Majesty to give him one. Of course, he didn't need it himself, but he wanted to take one back to give to his granddaughter. After all, his granddaughter was also a young woman, and she would surely be delighted to receive such a gift.
Chu Zhenglin knew about glass beads. After all, His Majesty asked him to use such glass beads to plan the chess game against Japan. However, he had never seen what a glass mirror was.
Chu Zhenglin asked Chu Fan, "Your Majesty, could you please let me take a look at the glass mirror in Sixth Master's hand?"
After hearing what Chu Zhenglin said, Chu Fan took out another glass mirror and gave it to Chu Zhenglin. Then he said, "Brother, don't ask for Sixth Master's glass mirror back. Sixth Master seems to be very interested in that glass mirror. Don't take it away from him."
Chu Zhenglin took the mirror and the first thing he saw was his handsome face clearly reflected in it. He couldn't help but marvel at its clarity. At the same time, he was also very proud of himself, thinking that he was really handsome, and the mirror made him look even better.
Chu Zhenglin took the glass mirror and began to tidy up his messy hair. He liked the glass mirror more and more. As long as he had the glass mirror, he could tidy up his handsome image at any time.
Among the six ministers, except for Minister of Works Tang Hongwen who had seen the glass mirror produced by His Majesty the day before, the other five ministers had never seen such an item. They looked at the two princes Chu Anping and Chu Zhenglin holding the item called glass mirror and couldn't let it go, which made them very curious about the item of glass mirror.
After hesitating for a moment, the Minister of War, Mu Yundian, asked, "Your Majesty, what is so magical about this glass mirror that has so fascinated the two princes? Could you please let me see its splendor?"
Chu Fan had already prepared glass mirrors for all the ministers in the imperial study, so Chu Fan took out six glass mirrors and distributed them to the six ministers.
After taking the glass mirror, the five ministers were shocked by its clear reflection effect and began to look at their own faces. The Minister of Works had already witnessed the magic of the glass mirror made by His Majesty in the forging workshop yesterday, so his expression was not as exaggerated as others.
Chu Zhenglin said at this time: "Your Majesty, could you please give me a glass mirror? I want to give it to my family as a gift."
Chu Zhenglin thought to himself that as a man, he really liked this kind of glass mirror that could clearly reflect his appearance, so his wife must also like this kind of glass mirror very much. If he could bring such a glass mirror back as a gift to his wife, she would definitely be very touched, and maybe she would even let him take a concubine.
