Chapter 1077 - 900: Hosting a Banquet
Xiao Residence.
The officials sat in the living room somewhat restrained, originally thinking that Xiao Yeyang invited them for dinner just out of politeness, and were surprised that he actually called them over.
Some of the more spirited officials, seeing the atmosphere a bit subdued, laughed and made small talks: "Commander Xiao, may I ask what is installed on the windows and the roof of your house? Even without lighting, it’s so bright inside the house in the middle of winter."
The winter in Xiliang is cold, and to prevent the chill from penetrating, thick curtains are hung over the doors and windows, which makes the light inside the house very dim.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "That is glass."
Fan Tong’s eyes lit up: "Is this produced by the newly established Xiangyang Glass Factory outside the city?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "When you leave later, take a few pieces back with you. The glass factory was just built and hasn’t produced much. By next spring, it should be available for sale in the city."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces lit up with joy and they expressed their thanks.
Fan Tong, who was rather bold, stood by the window and knocked on the glass, smiling: "Our Ganzhou Guard suffers from heavy wind and sand, with this glass, we won’t have to replace the window paper so often."
Immediately, other officials followed suit: "Ever since Commander Xiao arrived, our life in Ganzhou Guard has improved greatly, not to mention anything else, just the honeycomb coal has benefited the people immensely."
