Chapter 8 Tianzhu's Travels
King Yu, who has just come out of the cabinet, has a very thick family background.
After all, it is the highest level of knighthood in the Tang Dynasty, second only to the three in the palace in the entire country, and the reward for leaving the cabinet is naturally extremely rich.
The most important thing, of course, is the food and the fields.
Li Yuanjia's food town is a real 700 households, which means that as long as Li Yuanjia is alive, the annual taxes of these 700 households in Datang are used to support him! The 10,000 acres of Yongye field and 1,200 acres of vocational land are the most fertile land in Luzhou.
And these numbers are just what must be given to him in Datang's regulations.
In fact, as one of Li Yuan's favorite sons, the mother concubine once had the hope of sitting on the queen's Yuwen Zhaoyi, and Li Yuanjia naturally did not only have these things on the surface. Especially since the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan eased in the fourth year of Zhenguan, he has become tolerant of his brothers. Therefore, before Li Yuanjia arrived in Luzhou, his uncle Yu Wenshi secretly bought him more than 20,000 acres of fertile land, as well as three Zhuangzi!
Just these lands are enough to make Li Yuanjia a rich man.
In addition, there are also the example money that Li Yuanjia had accumulated before, as well as the copper coins, gold cakes, various treasures and silk cloths rewarded by the above three before leaving, which is also a very large amount. Not to mention that every year the imperial court will give him a large sum of money as a assassin - of course, according to the title of the prince, the same level as the official of Zhengyipin, 700 stone of grain per year, as well as the expenses of supporting dozens of servants, and miscellaneous subsidies......
"No matter how you calculate it, buddy is also a gentleman now!"
After listening to Han Shan's detailed explanation to himself, Li Yuanjia was secretly refreshed in his heart.
Although he knew that as the first prince of the Tang Dynasty, it was a matter of course for the rich to be on the side, but when Li Yuanjia arrived in Luzhou for ten days, he realized that he began to truly own these financial rights independently, this feeling in his heart was a different concept!
And after figuring out his family background and the prices of this era, Li Yuanjia also sighed secretly: "No wonder Li Yuanying can build three Tengwang Pavilions and build so many pavilions and palaces!" Not to mention that kid will definitely be rampant in the local area in the future, I'm afraid that his own family background alone will be thick and fatal, right? ”
It's also funny, the "Li Yuanjia" in the previous life didn't know himself, but his younger brother Li Yuanying remembered it clearly. After all, Li Yuanjia will still memorize the famous preface to King Teng's Pavilion in later generations......
……
With the drawings drawn by Li Yuanjia, Han Shan went to the blacksmith to build the iron pot.
According to the king's requirements, the difficulty of building this iron pot is not low, in addition to the fact that it must be round, the more important thing is to be as thin as possible, and the thickness should be as uniform as possible! Anyway, with Han Shan's understanding of the skills of blacksmiths, it is not so easy to build it.
After Han Shan left, Li Yuanjia sat for a while and felt bored, and began to wander around his study.
In the entire Luzhou government office, this is the largest, and it is also the best room with the best sunlight and ventilation conditions.
The whole room was full of bookshelves, and the shelves were full of all kinds of books, and there were even many bamboo slips that looked very old.
The previous little king was a book-loving guy.
So before he crossed over, this kid's book collection had already broken three thousand volumes! You know, he was still a twelve-year-old kid at the time. And after the soul changed to a person, firstly, in order not to let others suspect, and secondly, for his own various purposes, Li Yuanjia still continued to expand his collection, and even more "intensified", and it took three years to push the collection to more than 10,000 volumes!
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, this was quite an astonishing number.
You must know that the books of this year are basically copied by hand, or appeared in the pre-Sui period, but now it is still very rare engraving printing, and the cost can be said to be so high and scary, so that ordinary people have to think twice about buying a book. For ordinary well-to-do families or ordinary officials, having a dozen or dozens of books at home is enough to be proud, and if there are hundreds or thousands of books, they can even be crowned with the reputation of "a large collection of books".
It is conceivable what Li Yuanjia's 10,000-volume collection of books means.
"It's just...... Speaking of awesome, it's actually very sparse! ”
After taking a turn in his huge study, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little lost in his heart. This is not the era of the big explosion of knowledge in later generations, a book can be as little as tens of thousands of words, as many as hundreds of thousands of words, and it will take several days to read a book. In these years, because of the refinement of ancient texts and the small amount of knowledge, a book of tens of thousands of words is often considered a "masterpiece", and most of them are finished in a few thousand words, and many of the books in Li Yuanjia's collection are so-called inscriptions and monuments, and some books are different books, and some even only have a few hundred words.
So although there are many books, the amount of information is pitiful.
And......
"It's not much fun to forget something!"
Thinking of the benefits when he crossed over, that is, the so-called golden finger, Li Yuanjia felt painful: there was very little entertainment in this era, and he had to live a low-key life because of the special period, so he thought that he could pass the time by reading, but he didn't expect to get such a golden finger when he crossed over, how can he live?
An ancient book of tens of thousands of words, I read it in one day, how to break it?
Finally, the subordinates collected hundreds of so-called new books, but the result added up to only 100,000 words, and it took two or three days to read and understand while reading and understanding all the time, who can understand this kind of pain?
"Tsk, I'm afraid I'm the only traverser who would rather not have a golden finger, right?"
After walking around the room and not finding a book that he could read, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh and shook his head with a smile. It's true that it's okay to revisit old books, but if you pick up a book and the content in it comes to mind word by word, where is the joy of reading?
But after a turn, Li Yuanjia stopped in front of the back row of bookshelves.
This row of bookshelves is also full of books.
It's just that compared to other bookshelves, the books on this row of shelves are a bit strange, they seem to be very new books, not at all like the others, some of which are new and old, and some have even been eaten by insects and blistered.
Walking from one end of the bookshelf to the other end of the bookshelf, Li Yuanjia's right index finger gently slid across the spine of a row of books, with an indifferent look on his face. Then he stopped abruptly halfway through, stepped back a little, and rested his right index finger on a finger-thick book.
When I took it out, the title of the book was "Tianzhu Travels".
Holding the book and walking back to the sunshine's best low table, Li Yuanjia sat down on his knees.
Putting "Tianzhu Travels" on the low table, Li Yuanjia began to patiently polish the ink while turning the pages with his left hand. It's just that the pages are turned one by one, and Li Yuanjia suddenly stopped when he turned more than a dozen pages, because the white paper in front of him was blank, and there was no more text......
