Chapter 47: The Essence of Shelter
At this time, Li Shimin was receiving the reward sent by Queen Xiao. There were 10,000 pieces of money and 400 pieces of silk, and the reward was really generous.
This is an unexpected joy even for Li Shimin. However, he was not stingy, and immediately took out three hundred pieces of silk and rewarded them to his subordinates, and even the West Courtyard, which was in charge of the eldest grandson Wuji, also shared a little rain and dew. This made the east and west courtyards of Chongwen Pavilion a sound of jubilation.
Li Shimin also gained some good reputation because of this.
It is necessary to know that this silk and the like, in today's world, can be used directly as money. A piece of silk is about ten zhang long, and the value is as high as 30 pieces of silver. It is equivalent to a middle-class family, with more than half a year's income.
Even the eldest grandson Wuji was allocated fifty horses, but this one did not accept it, but looked at Li Shimin with a strange gaze.
The latter was very strange and touched his face with his hand: "Why does Brother Wuji look at me like this? But what is there on my face?"
"I'm just thinking, Viruja, you may have really had a bad year this year, how can you be so unlucky?"
Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "In short, you need to be careful in the future." Although this little princess is young, she is already known as the demon king of the mixed world in the palace, not only is she notoriously difficult, but also extremely resentful. There have been several people who have offended her, and in the end, she has been so bad that she can't survive in the palace. β
"I see, I guess this girl will be very difficult. However, it is better to choose the lesser of two evils than to sit back and be settled by Queen Xiao in the future. β
Li Shimin said with a smile: "And no matter how much this girl retaliates, can she still make me lose my official position and abandon my post? Presumably, my father has nothing to say, and this is not my sin. β
The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled dumbly, thinking that this Vilu Sha was just without desire.
After so many days of getting along, he already knew a little about Li Shimin's temperament, and knew that this person was indeed a person who had no ambitions, was lazy and lazy. If it weren't for Tang Guogong's coercion this time, this guy would actually be reluctant to enter the palace guard.
If that little princess really plans to let this guy lose his official position and abandon his post, it will be in Li Shimin's hands.
But Li Shimin himself is a little weak-hearted. He didn't pay much attention to this position of preparing for the left body before. But now it was different, the collection of books in the Chongwen Pavilion had already aroused his interest. Even if he had to abandon his official position, it would only be after he had gone through the classics that interested him.
So when Li Shimin entered the palace again the next day, he was still very cautious, worried that he would really suffer the revenge of the little princess.
But soon he put his mind at ease, just because the eldest grandson Wuji had already found out the news. After this nonsense, the little princess Yang Ying aroused the thunderous anger of Queen Xiao, not only grounded the little princess for a month, but also severely punished a related person. Especially the embroidered guards, one of the leaders, was even smashed on the head by Empress Xiao's tea cup and broke his blood. Therefore, it is expected that in the next month, the little princess will not be able to appear in front of him again.
It was only nine days later that Li Shimin assembled the first general-level ink armor, which was finally completed, and then sold for a high price of 37,000 yuan on the black market.
The buyer is the second largest black merchant 'Taiyi Building' in the black market after 'Tiger Warehouse'.
This is because the strength and speed of this ink armor are of the upper middle level, and Li Shimin's own craftsmanship is also very good. In addition, he also tried his skills on this ink armor, combining some parts with magic patterns, so that this armor has relatively strong combat power.
After that, Li Shimin's speed of assembling ink armor was further accelerated. Just seven days later, he had completed his second general-level ink armor. The price of this armor was even more exaggerated, and it was sold for a whopping 44,000 yuan.
This is because Taiyi Lou was quite satisfied with the ink armor he assembled four days ago, so he did not hesitate to increase the purchase price by 20%, and planned to contract all the ink armor he assembled.
Li Shimin was as good as he was, and agreed without much hesitation.
Although he is also interested in money, he is not the kind of person who must compare baht. These ink armors, if he finds a buyer on his own and gradually becomes famous, may sell for a higher price in the future.
But Li Shimin would rather spend this time looking for buyers and selling ink armor on studying the forbidden map of the great god and the ink armor drawing in the palace.
What's more, this Taiyi Building also generously agreed, in the future, Li Shimin can buy ink nail parts with a total price of less than 100,000 yuan from Guangyuan Hui on credit, and give a discount of seventy percent and five.
And the money from the sale of these two ink armors, plus the savings in his hands, has already gathered 100,000 yuan. So Li Shimin went to the mansion of Xu Guo that night and returned the money to Yu Wenshiji.
After receiving his repayment, Yu Wenshi looked at his friend with a slightly strange expression: "Remember that you have been studying the art of making armor since you were six years old, and you always say that one day in the future, you will make a divine armor. I scoffed at it, but I didn't expect you to be able to come up with something famous. β
He had heard about Li Shimin's recent behavior in the black market, so he was particularly surprised.
With only Li Shimin's armor skills, he will be able to eat and wear without worry in the future, and the key is that Li Shimin figured it out himself. This is not a serious teacher, and he was completely born in the wild.
"I'm surprised by this, tooβ"
Li Shimin said as he looked at his hands with a strange look, he thought that he must have a talent that is difficult for others to achieve in ink armor.
I remember that when he was ten years old, he was already very skilled in assembling the sergeant-level ink armor, and when he was twelve years old, he knew all the structures of the captain-level armor in his family.
Especially when it comes to assembling ink armor, he always has a strange instinct, and he can match those strange components with gears and so on, and give full play to their abilities. His hands, more like magic, can always polish all kinds of materials easily into what he needs, and the precision structure is not bad.
Originally, Li Shimin thought that others were like himself. But when you reach a certain age, you don't know that those armor masters outside are often apprentices for ten years before they can complete the overall assembly of the sergeant-level ink armor.
The general-level armor often requires the hard work of the armor master in the armor-making skills for more than 20 years.
Like him, it is even more impossible to assemble a complete general-level ink armor in nine days. This is something that only those great grandmaster-level figures can do.
Yu Wenshi couldn't help but shake his head: "Sometimes, I am really jealous of you, even if the martial arts and the art of war crush me, in this ink armor refining, I actually have such a talent." I really wonder how Tang Guogong would feel if he learned about this?"
A family of generals like the martial arts Li family does not look down on the armor masters, they will even respect those high-level armor masters and treat them as guests. But Li Shimin, as the descendant of the martial arts Li family, went to study Jia Yi, which in the eyes of the Li clan, is undoubtedly suspected of not doing his job properly and losing his mind.
As far as he knew, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, was indeed extremely annoyed and hated Li Shimin's preference.
But in the opinion of Yu Wenshi, when Li Shimin pushed the art of armor-making to the current level, he must not take it lightly.
This is at least a way to make money, Li Shimin has gathered a set of general-level ink armor, and it only takes about 6,000 at most. But it only took seven days for this one to turn over and sell more than 40,000 yuan.
And if his friend specializes in this way, he can get 120,000 yuan in just one month. In a year, it was 1.44 million.
This is more than the silver he got by bribing bribes in a year, and now the Yuwen family's property is only three million yuan a year.
"My father?"
Li Shimin shook his head slightly, not caring very much,
Before he was ten years old, he always tried his best to get his father's appreciation and approval. But after the age of eight, he completely extinguished this thought.
So Li Shimin directly changed the topic: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to show me your treasures?
But in fact, Yu Wenshi's collection is nothing to see. This person does have a collection of more than a dozen sets of rare ink armor, all of which have been handed down from the Warring States period and are rare in the world.
But the problem is that this guy cherishes himself, no matter what Li Shimin says, he doesn't want to disassemble it for him to see what's inside.
Even if this is the case, then no matter how rare these ink armors are, they are useless. The attraction to him is far less than those drawings in the palace.
In addition, Li Shimin came to Xu Guogong's Mansion for another purpose, which was to visit Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.
It's a pity that on the way to the capital, there seems to be a little wrong, and it will take two or three days to delay before he can reach the capital.
For this matter, the Yuwen family is also in a hurry, and they can only look for treasures everywhere in order to hang Yuwen Chengji's life.
Li Shimin returned disappointed that night, and just as he left the Xuguo Mansion, Yu Wenshi said something again: "Vilusha, you have been in the palace recently, it is best to be careful." β
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, he remembered this sentence, and the eldest grandson Wuji had only said it to him not long ago.
At this time, Yu Wenshi smiled slightly: "Little princess, I will let Nanyang watch it for you." The problem is Su Yi and Yang Jishan, these two have been in the palace recently, but they are jumping up and down. Especially Yang Jishan, who has recently been preparing for Zuo Qianniu, Fengxiangmen has frequent contact with Yu Hou Wang Zikai. I suspect that these two guys may be against you. β
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be speechless for a while: "They still have this leisure?"
Although Su Yi and Yang Jishan hid in the palace, Zhang Zhongjian did not intend to let go of this matter. This person who couldn't find Su Yang and the two of them, so he was angry with these two people.
Recently, several members of the Su and Yang families have been injured, which shook Luoyang for a while and became the talk of various families and people in the capital.
It is said that Su Yi's father, Su Kui and Yang Xuangan, were looking for someone to intercede with Zhang Zhongjian, but the bearded guest ignored it completely and did not take the Su and Yang families in their eyes.
