Chapter 57: King Xu's Day

As a prince, Li Yuanjia's life is leisurely and comfortable.

In fact, in any era, if you want to live a leisurely and comfortable life, there are only three conditions, the first is that you must have money, and the second must have time...... It may sound like nonsense, but it's the most obvious fact!

But the third is also indispensable.

That is, in addition to having money and time, you must also have a certain amount of power to ensure that your leisurely and comfortable life will not be disturbed by anyone.

Li Yuanjia is fortunate that he had no hope in his previous life, but in this life, he obviously met all the conditions.

Let's talk about the first piece of money first, not to mention the huge amount of copper coins and silk cloth in the palace treasury, just the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land under Li Yuanjia's name, the annual income is astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people! Not to mention that the prince still has food, as well as the top money and subsidies, which are real pure profits and do not require any investment.

Let's talk about the second time, if Li Yuanjia is an ambitious and ambitious prince, he will at least invest some energy and time in the political affairs of Luzhou and be a good official. But also because of his status as a prince, Li Yuanjia chose to "hide in the city", and all the responsibilities of assassinating Shi were thrown to Chen Lin and other Luzhou officials!

As for the third article......

In this world, unless Li Shimin or Empress Changsun moves his mind, who can move Li Yuanjia?

Don't talk about those heroes and heroes, or the Big Three or the Big Four, in fact, as long as the emperor doesn't think about it, and doesn't direct or support them behind their backs, even if the power in their hands is far greater than that of a prince, no one will provoke these royal descendants - everyone is still inferior in status!

Especially in Luzhou, the identity of King Xu and the history of assassination, which one dares to provoke without opening his eyes?

Therefore, Li Yuanjia can really do whatever he wants on this territory, as long as the emperor has no opinion on his laziness, no one dares to have an opinion......

Moreover, a prince does not like political affairs, does not provoke the people, and just wants to enjoy life in his own small world, this kind of good thing will the emperor oppose?

How could it be!

So throughout the summer of the seventh year of Zhenguan, Li Yuanjia lived a fairly regular life.

Every morning, I run two or three thousand meters without moving, and then take a shower and eat happily, then go to the study to write a book, practice calligraphy, and develop my own special painting skills by the way; After lunch, take a short rest, and in the afternoon, I will concentrate on studying various "small inventions" to enjoy life.

A considerable part of this time was allocated by Li Yuanjia to Yu Niang, who rotated in the kitchen every day.

After the door was closed, only Han Shan, the two personal maids and Yu Niang and others knew about King Xu's entry into the kitchen, and under the persecution of Li Yuanjia's "obscenity", these people had long dared not oppose him entering that place.

So throughout the summer, the noble King Xu frequently went in and out of the kitchen, and made all kinds of delicacies with Yu Niang.

Pork, mutton, chicken, duck and goose meat, and of course, the beef that Han Shan secretly got from somewhere was fried, steamed, and fried by Li Yuanjia, and all kinds of methods were "tried" over and over again. And under his command, all the spices that can be found on the market, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, dogwood, etc., which have been used by the Tang Dynasty, as well as things that everyone has not yet started to use, but can be found on the market or in pharmacies, such as some ingredients in the thirteen incense, etc., have been "creatively" used in the kitchen by King Xu!

Things such as cooking wine and soy sauce have also begun to sprout......

In addition to studying the best practices of steamed buns and noodles, the two have also conducted in-depth discussions and frequent experiments on how many kinds of fillings can be made for steamed buns, whether fried dough sticks are thick or fine, and whether sugar + eggs + flour can make soft cakes......

Of course, Li Yuanjia doesn't know how to do these things.

But we can't stand it, King Xu has money and people, and at the same time there is time. So the so-called moving mouth above and breaking legs below is the small kitchen of Xu Wangfu, anyway, as long as Li Yuanjia thinks of a certain food, he will make a request to Yu Niang, and by the way, he will say some general methods, and let her try to do the rest.

If it doesn't work once, it's twice, and eight times out of ten is not too much.

In short, living in this era where there is no Internet, no TV, and not even many books for him to read, there are really not many things that Li Yuanjia can use to consume time. At least in the word eating, he is willing to waste a part of his long life in the future, and a considerable part of it.

For the other part, he is willing to give something else to enjoy.

For example, comfortable underwear and underwear, such as the toilet that can free your legs, and then the indoor toilet that can free you from the embarrassment of being dumped by the maids, and the running water necessary for the indoor toilet, etc.!

The "invention" of these things is not as simple as tables, chairs and iron pots.

After all, Li Yuanjia is just a former user, not a professional, so it is really not easy to make these things from a layman's point of view. For example, he can draw a fairly accurate shape of the toilet, but how to make it automatically fill and flush the water is completely confused. Another example is that it is easy to build a toilet in an exaggerated room, but how to design and lay its pipes to ensure that it is beautiful and not easy to leak is definitely beyond the scope of Li Yuanjia's ability......

Fortunately, he is Li Yuanjia, and someone has money and materials!

is still the same sentence, our King Xu has time to squander, and there are also financial, material and manpower resources that can be wasted, even the iron materials that are extremely difficult for ordinary people to get, with the help of Chen Zhi, the inventory of the palace is always more than 1,000 catties! Therefore, every afternoon, Li Yuanjia would "get together" with carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen, or discuss plans, or try to make them, or analyze the reasons for failure......

Once you have an idea, just do it!

If it is done or improved from the last time, it is success; Even if it can't be done or a lot of materials are wasted, Li Yuanjia will only wave his hand lightly and say that everyone has done their best, and it will be good to continue to work hard next time. If he was in a good mood one day, or if he saw that everyone was depressed, he would even ask Han Shan to directly bring a few copper coins to cheer everyone up......

In Han Shan's opinion, his own king is simply wasting money, how can he return the reward if he fails?

But in Li Yuanjia's view, he is simply doing a business without capital. These craftsmen were originally raised by the palace, not to mention working for themselves every day, but also to undertake arduous "scientific research" tasks, and even if the research is successful in the future, their reward is at most a praise from Li Yuanjia, or it is impossible to have too much bounty.

This kind of good thing is only found in the evil feudal society, right?

So Li Yuanjia doesn't care what others think, anyway, he thinks that everyone likes to reward these craftsmen when they work hard, and they will also reward them when they find that a guy has made a good suggestion, anyway, they always maintain a high level of enthusiasm when they keep failing......

When it gets dark and the craftsmen have been sent away, it's time for dinner.

After dinner, it was a long night. Li Yuanjia, who has little interest in his own maids or the beauties in Luzhou City, usually chooses to go to bed at this time, leaning on the bedside to read a new book that people have just received, until he can't resist the sleepiness or turns the book to the last page.

A typical day of King Xu is over......
