After Luo Shang received Yang Zhengshan's orders, he immediately took Luo Zhen to the Glass Workshop. When he saw those exquisite glass ornaments, he was so shocked he nearly stopped breathing.

Things were precious because they were rare, and precious because they were exquisite!
Glass ornaments were more exquisite than colored glaze, easier to shape than porcelain, more dazzling than stone carvings, and larger than jade. As decorations, glass products had many advantages.
Most importantly, there were no glass ornaments here. As long as Yang Zhengshan was willing, he could completely drive the price of glass ornaments up to several thousand, even tens of thousands of taels of silver apiece.
However, that would take a great deal of time and energy, and it was somewhat damaging to one's character.
Once the Glass Workshop went into large-scale production, the price of glass ornaments would soon be brought down.
If there were only one piece, it would be a rare treasure of the age. But if there were thousands, tens of thousands, even an endless supply, then they would be ordinary ornaments.
Right now, production was insufficient, so the price could be a bit higher. But once output increased, glass ornaments would definitely drop in price.
