Since returning to the Qin Palace, Mingyu felt deeply shy, although money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible, it seems that if you want to be able to live in the future, it is imperative to make some money.

As a traverser, Mingyu is full of confidence, after all, he has more than a thousand years of knowledge than the ancients. In addition, all kinds of travel novels in the past are not less read, the protagonists are all business ghosts, wise and close to demons, turning stones into gold, plagiarizing two lines of poetry casually is a writer, and inventing something casually will make a lot of money, and thousands of family fortunes can be obtained at your fingertips. Mingyu didn't believe it, they also crossed over, they can do it, why can't I.

Mingyu pillowed his hands behind his head, crossed Erlang's legs, and racked his brains to think.

To show that Yu Zida crossed over, there were a lot of plagiarized inventions, but the results were unsatisfactory. At the beginning, he invented the cavalry knife, which was despised by the master, and then invented charcoal, but unfortunately the paper was too brittle, and the only useful thing was to get out the chaise longue, which was well received by the whole village.

What is there that can be tinkered with right now, and another million profits? Mingyu put his brains on the wealthy family, one by one the huge riches, hundreds of years of accumulation, the gold and silver seas in the family, and the piles of copper coins are rusty, don't fool them.

If you want to say that you can get money, the first thing that comes to Mingyu's mind is glass, also known as glass. The cost is almost negligible, just burn it with quartz sand, and the Qinling Mountains are full of large pieces of quartzite, which can be said to be inexhaustible. The profit is thousands of times, and the price of any glass product is hundreds of times.

Regarding glass, Mingyu remembered a famous joke in later generations. There is a powerful and wealthy kingdom in the Mediterranean, King Solomon spent seven years building a splendid and magnificent temple, and dug many secret tunnels and secret rooms underneath, hiding all the wealth accumulated in his life, which is called Solomon's Treasure.

With the fall of Solomon's kingdom, the legend spread, and the temple was destroyed, but the treasure was nowhere to be found. For more than a thousand years, countless adventurers and explorers have been thinking about this wealth, one after another, and finally after a thousand hardships, they finally discovered the secret treasure after more than a thousand years.

Unfortunately, when I opened the treasure house, I was disappointed, and the world had been chasing Solomon's treasure for thousands of years, and the legendary wealth of mountains and seas turned out to be a pile of broken glass slag more than a thousand years ago, which became the biggest joke in the world.

In the time when King Solomon lived, Solomon's treasure was indeed worthy of its name, and glass was indeed a rare treasure in the world at that time, but with the development and progress of science and technology, after more than a thousand years, glass has become worthless.

remembered that when he first came, he accompanied the second uncle to drink, and Li Shimin had a glass cup purchased at a high price from Hu Shang in the Western Regions, which was very precious. As a result, Mingyu accidentally broke a corner, Li Shimin's face turned green at that time, and he was reprimanded by his eldest grandson, and his heart hurt to death.

Mingyu pouted at the time, despising it very much, it was still the future emperor and queen of the Tang Dynasty, as soon as he had never seen the world, just your broken glass, the workmanship was rough, and it was full of bubbles. In the previous life, the people who bought a can of Coke and gave it were a hundred times better than you, and I was not happy to ask for it, because it took up space.

Fuck, how is the glass supposed to burn? It seems that the sand is burned into a liquid and then cooled to become glass? Seems like it's more than that? In the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago, could the temperature of the charcoal fire be enough to melt the sand and gravel? Thinking of this, Mingyu felt a little bottomless in his heart. This quartz sand is common, but it is all in the mountains, at this time, there is no manpower, and there is no capital, how to chisel and mine? It seems that if you want to get this glass out, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is no way to give up for the time being.

The ladies of the Tang Dynasty also have money, why don't you get some perfume to fool them? But it doesn't seem to be something that can be debugged with a bunch of petals, it takes a lot of formulas, Mingyu has a black eye on this thing, and he doesn't know much about chemistry, so he gives up.

It seems that taking the high-end route of luxury goods will not work for the time being, so take the civilian route. The people are most concerned about nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, as the saying goes, the people take food as the sky.

The drink I drank yesterday was okay, but it was lighter, and there wasn't much alcohol. In the Tang Dynasty, there was no distillation method, but you could try to make a batch of high-purity liquor. However, this brewing also requires a brewing workshop and a group of loyal and skilled craftsmen. A brewery also requires a lot of money, and the most important thing to do is money, so I have to give up.

How about opening a restaurant? Although Mingyu was not a chef in his previous life, and his cooking skills were at the level of commonplace, for the people of the Tang Dynasty, the unheard of stir-fry was enough to make a sign in Chang'an. However, the shop of the restaurant also costs a lot of money, so I still have to give up.

If you can't have a restaurant, what about a teahouse? Thinking of the way of drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty, Li Mingyu felt sick to his stomach. It is completely different from later generations, and most of the tea leaves are crushed into powder, salt, green onions, ginger, jujubes, orange peel, mint and other substances are added and boiled together. According to their taste, some people also like to add butter, mutton fat, spices and other substances to the flavor. The eldest grandson cooked a good tea soup, which won the praise of Li Shimin, and the secret recipe of the eldest grandson was to add mutton fat and pepper. Every time he saw Li Shimin drinking with relish, Mingyu felt that it was not tea, and it should be called "Hu Spicy Soup" more appropriately. There is a strange smell when you drink it, and it makes people feel unbearable to swallow when you think about it...

China's tea culture has a long history, the earliest seen in the "Shennong Materia Medica" record: Shennong's taste of a hundred herbs in the hundred poisons, "tea and solution, the beginning of as a medicinal use, tea drinking from the Han Dynasty, began, prevailed in the Sui and Tang dynasties." The roasted tea method will not appear until the Ming Dynasty, for the ancients to make and drink tea, lost the original natural and innocent taste of tea, so the Ming people improved it on the basis of steaming green, and perfected the perfect roasted tea method, which can evaporate the water in the tea and maintain the quality of the tea itself, and at the same time can remove some of the earthy smell of tea in the process of frying, and the aroma is more rich and fragrant.

Of course, Mingyu doesn't know anything about this. He was thinking quickly, as if the tea leaves of the offspring need to be fried before they can be made? How to fry? Do you fry in an iron pot? Do you want to put oil or not? Don't think you need to? Looking at the tea leaves of later generations, there is no greasy, this can be tried, and I don't know if this novel way of drinking will be accepted by the ancients more than 1,000 years ago. It doesn't matter, you can take it step by step and cultivate it slowly.

Starting with the second uncle Li Shimin and the eldest grandson, the emperor and queen all drank it, and the following noble ministers dared to say that it was not good? The aristocrats feel that it is good, and it will slowly affect the people, and when the time comes, it will be popular throughout the Tang Dynasty, and it is not bad to be a tea tycoon. However, you have to find someone to buy fresh tea in the place of origin, it seems that all you can buy on the market now is tea powder, which is a waste of good things.

Let's write this down for the time being, and then go back and let the chief manager Lao Wang send someone to inquire. It seems that the most famous Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, West Lake Longjing, and Huangshan Maofeng don't know if they have been discovered in this era.

Well, tea can be had, but it will take time to build an audience base. What else? Soap? Known as "the essential invention of the traverser", this doesn't seem to be difficult, it can be boiled out with lard, alkali, and milk, well, this is simple, and the demand is large, but I'm afraid this thing doesn't make much money, right? Master, I am now in the entrepreneurial stage, one poor and two white, and I have not yet reached the point where I can help the world, write it down for the time being, and then talk about it when it is developed.

After thinking about it, the more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became. Sadly, some things either look simple but are difficult to do.

Mingyu was just a soldier in his previous life, specializing in martial arts, grappling and fighting, survival in the wild, firearms, special tactics, and military training. It's no problem if you ask him to get dirt, explosives, cocktail incendiary bombs, and design a trick mine, even if it's a nineteenth-century sailing ship Black Pearl, with his obsession with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and the experience of spending several years of his spare time making a small-scale ship model with an all-wood reduced structure, he can recall that he can remember all the time. But once it comes to people's livelihood and life, his eyes are black and he is completely blind.

He is not like the protagonists in those time-traveling novels, everyone is a genius, he remembers those chemical raw materials, his brain comes with Baidu Encyclopedia and Baidu search, and he remembers the trivial steps and recipes clearly. Without a large amount of talent, money, and energy, relying only on half-understanding exploration, I am afraid that even if my beard is boiled white, I may not succeed.

Or can you do it and you don't have the capital, so you want it from your eldest grandson? The two lives are human, and they are both in their forties, and Mingyu can't pull his face to speak.

When he was thinking hard about his plan to make a fortune, he was suddenly interrupted by a cry of "sobbing and choking".
