The Tang Dynasty in which Li Ang lived was a brilliant era of embroidery products, almost all women had good embroidery skills, embroidery products can be seen everywhere, many ordinary people have a lot of embroidery products at home, not to mention aristocratic families.

Of course, the embroidery products of the poor families are sewn by the women of the family themselves, while many embroidery products of the rich families are purchased from tailors, and there is a big gap in quality and quality.

After all, it doesn't cost you to get some thread to sew yourself, and it costs a lot of money to buy a product, and the difference is very big.

This is still in the era of Datang, where the labor cost is not high, if it is in the future when the price of labor is soaring, the difference between doing it yourself and buying it will be even greater, so big that it is unimaginable.

For example, the price of many semi-finished bags is only one-fifth or even one-tenth of the finished product, but after buying it back, you need to sew the bag completely by yourself, and before sewing, the bag only has scattered accessories.

The reason why the price will be so big is because these accessories are mass-produced by machines, and the cost is very low, but when assembling, it needs to be carefully crafted and carefully assembled all these accessories, so that a manual can not assemble a few a day, and the cost of labor is relatively expensive, which leads to the price of the product, which will inevitably rise greatly, especially for the bag products that need to be embroidered, the labor cost accounts for the absolute majority, and the material cost is almost insignificant.

In this case, if only the finished product is sold, only the wealthy people can buy it, and it will be difficult to achieve a greater breakthrough in sales, and the sale of semi-finished products and the assembly instructions will be much higher, so as to bring greater benefits to the business.

After all, in later generations of China, the number of poor people is still very large, and the poor also hope to use good-looking and fashionable bags, expensive ones can't afford to buy, so you can only buy cheap semi-finished products, take some time to practice, after all, the price difference is too big.

Li An remembered that in his later life, he once bought a delicate tank assembled from metal fragments, and the price was as high as two hundred yuan, but if he bought parts and assembled it himself, it only cost more than ten yuan, and the price difference was more than ten times.

Anyway, it took five or six hours for Ang Lee to be able to assemble the toys without any pressure, and he was still very happy to be able to save so much money.

Although many people have said that time is money, but for many poor people, time is really very worthless, people who have the ability can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars an hour, and people who are not able can not earn a few oceans a day, and the remaining free time can not find a way to make money, except for smoking, drinking and going out to play, there is no other way to improve themselves.

And wealthy people, either very busy work, or more social, or more colorful life, they don't have so much free time to slowly engage in embroidery? The time wasted on embroidery is not enough for a fraction of their income, so why bother with that god?

Whether to do it yourself, depends on each person's conditions are different, people with good conditions, do not need to do it themselves, and people with bad conditions, must do it themselves, because their time is not valuable, and the money in their pockets is the most valuable, in order to save money in their pockets, they do not hesitate to waste time This is a wealth that is more valuable than money.

This is also a helpless thing, the time of the poor is really too worthless, they can't appreciate the true meaning of time is money, in their eyes, time is not worth anything at all, even, they stay up every day, when they go to work is to stay up time, and then go home from work to play, with the lowest wage.

The poor people in Datang are mainly the poor people who work every day, and their lives are relatively leisurely, and they are not too tired, but in the developed society of later generations, the life of the poor is quite hard, and they are simply hard.

They no longer have the idea of life, they are working hard to survive, in addition to work every day, they basically sleep, endless work and overtime, so that they are tired like a cow, and they have no time and energy to consider the richness and colorfulness of life, they can only live a day by day, and the quality of life is almost zero.

And some people, can't even find a job that suits them, in order to survive, they can only try their best to save money, but the poor also want face, but also want beautiful clothes and leather bags, so this kind of do-it-yourself products are available, so that those who do not have a job, or only have a low-income part-time job, can enjoy a chance to enjoy higher-end products.

In the era of Datang, this situation is even more common, many Datang women have very superb embroidery skills, when they need embroidery products, they often buy their own needle and thread, and then sew by themselves, and will not go to the store to buy finished products, because they can't afford to consume.

Li An is now in Datang, he is very rich, but he is afraid that he is richer than the emperor, but most of this money is stored in Chang'an City in Datang and has not been transferred to other places, so the emperor is also very relieved.

Although after having money, anything can be bought with money, but Ang Lee's pursuit is not just a thing, because of the rise of ability and wealth, Ang Lee's pursuit of things has also begun to upgrade, material is far from meeting his requirements, he has begun to pursue a freewheeling life and conquer the political ideal of the world.

Of course, what Li An said about conquering the world is not to use force to force the rest of the countries to submit to the Tang Dynasty, but to use military deterrence and economic support, as well as cultural attacks, to completely conquer the whole world, so that the whole world is in line with the interests of the Tang Empire, in this way, Li An will feel very satisfied and very happy.

Along the way, Ang Lee has conquered too many small countries, as long as he takes out the most advanced ironclad sports car of Datang and walks around, no small country dares to be unconvinced, plus Ang Lee never presses people with force, will not overly oppress many small countries, and will not let these small countries lose too much interests, so that the resistance psychology of these small countries is naturally weaker and easier to succumb, thus winning huge benefits for the Tang Empire.

Ang Lee's various ideas have been realized in the era of Datang, and there is almost nothing that can stump Ang Lee, but with the realization of wishes one by one, Ang Lee has also become bored, and once people are bored, it is a very terrible thing and will cause great harm to the whole society.

Because people are animals, they must keep exercising, and they must keep looking for things to do, only in this way can people not be bored, and once people are bored, they will aimlessly find things for themselves, for example, young people who pick quarrels and provoke troubles are caused by being too idle, and they don't know what to do, so they naturally start looking for trouble.

In order to keep himself from being too boring, Ang Lee continued to achieve greater goals on the one hand, and began to enjoy life unscrupulously on the other.

For example, opening up the Maritime Silk Road is what Ang Lee found for himself, otherwise, stay in Chang'an City all day long, don't make yourself crazy, come out to breathe, and see the customs and customs of different regions, isn't it very wonderful, and there are so many beauties along the way, trying to communicate feelings and bodies with women of different races, you will get different feelings, and it can be regarded as a life experience.

Ang Lee was playing a lot, almost a little happy, but when he thought of not pampering the ladies in the family for a long time, Ang Lee felt quite remorseful, they were all their own women, and it was indeed a little too cruel to let them experience the moisture of rain and dew for so long.

However, Li An has already thought about it, after returning to Chang'an City, he must clean them up well, let them eat enough at one time, and ensure that within a few days, they will be able to change their hair in glory and exude the unique charm of women.

The conditions in the desert are too difficult, and it will be very hard to travel in the desert, especially the horse animal, which is not suitable for walking in the desert, and the camel should be the master of the desert, but the Tang cavalry will not ride a camel, and the applicability of the camel is far inferior to that of a horse, so the Tang cavalry is equipped with an animal like a horse.

In order to make the real team more comfortable, Li Ang ordered to walk along a large road near the Nile, because it was close to the Nile, so occasionally encountered patches of woods, as well as all kinds of grass and trees, much better than the environment in the desert.

The place to camp at night, in a wooded forest with many trees, the environment is quite good, not too hot, not too cold at night, after all, it is very close to the Nile, the water of the Nile is the best cooling air conditioner, as long as there is water from the Nile, the temperature in the vicinity can be reduced by several degrees, and in winter, it can also be much warmer than other places.

After camping, Li Xiaolu began to learn embroidery skills seriously, she started by sewing masks, and trained little by little according to the methods instructed by Li An, if the sewing is not good, she will remove the mask herself, and then sew it again, and every time she re-sews, there is a lot of progress, at least, in Ang Lee's opinion, the progress is still quite big, according to this progress, within three or five days, it should be able to reach Ang Lee's level.

After all, Li Ang learned to sew, and he only learned for a day, and the number of exercises added up to only a dozen times, just because of his high talent, so, sewing is much better than that of ordinary soldiers, if it is compared with real female workers, the gap is really too big, so Li An knows that he is a rookie in the embroidery and sewing world, and the level is still far from the master?

In other words, Ang Lee is very self-aware, knows how many pounds and taels his level is, and knows what his sewing skills are, so Ang Lee will naturally not be proud.

After Li Xiaolu's sewing skills improved, Li Ang could no longer be her master, and then she needed to find a new master by herself.

Li Ang has always thought that Li Xiaolu was so eager to learn embroidery technology on a whim, it is three minutes of heat, but now it seems that the most basic perseverance is still there, which makes him very happy, watching the beauty sit there quietly to learn embroidery, it is also a kind of enjoyment, and the action of Western women doing embroidery, Li Ang is the first time to meet, and the feeling of embroidery is different from that of Oriental women.

For the sake of Li Xiaolu's hard work in learning embroidery, Li Ang decided to spare her tonight, let her rest for a good night, and wait until she got to the boat, and then play with her, so that she wanted to die, in addition, Li An was also very tired, and it was time to take a good rest, with more and better energy, in order to have more fun and better.

Early in the morning of the second day, when Li An got up, he habitually reached out and hugged him, and found that there was no one in his arms, which made Li An very uncomfortable, as if something was missing, it was really uncomfortable.

"Where did Li Xiaolu, this little beauty, go, why isn't she on the couch."

Li An muttered to himself, randomly got up and looked out, but found that Li Xiaolu was actually asleep on her stomach on the table, and there was still a freshly sewn mask under her.

Seeing that Li Xiaolu fell asleep on the table in order to practice sewing, Li Anxin felt pity for a while, walked over gently, hugged Li Xiaolu in his arms, and carried her to the couch, there is still a period of time before departure, Li An wants her to take a good rest, otherwise when she will ride in the car, this little beauty is estimated to be seasick.

"Oh, it's so dawn, I still have a lot of masks that I haven't sewn?"

Li Xiaolu looked at the situation in the tent with sleepy eyes, and the first thing she said was actually to sew a mask, which once again made Li An quite different, and felt that Li Xiaolu was a good woman, quite persevering, and worthy of everyone's learning.

"Little baby, why are you so stupid, sewing skills can be practiced slowly, why do you use the method of staying up late to hurt your body to practice? Look at it, the eye circles are dark, which makes people feel so heartbroken. ”

Li An opened his mouth and said, his face full of pity.

Li Xiaolu pouted and said, "I don't want to do this either!" But my hands are very clumsy, if I don't work harder, when will I be able to embroider a purse for Li Shilang! ”
