Chapter 19: The idea of making money
It is often heard that the ancients ate meat and drank wine in large bowls, which sounded like a lot of alcohol, but in fact, they were all bluffing.
Due to the backward technology, especially the lack of distillation technology, the liquor of this era has a much lower degree than the liquor of later generations.
When Du He first came, drinking the liquor of this era was not much better than drinking temper.
Lao Cheng drank a glass of low-alcohol wine, and suddenly drank half a glass of high-alcohol wine, and drank too quickly, and he was drunk all at once.
Li Er took a sip lightly and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it's a good wine, it feels spicy when you first eat it, and then it feels warm all over your body, it's really good wine!" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Du He with a smile.
Du He hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, just these two bottles, I have treasured them for more than ten years, and I took them all out today." ”
Li Er couldn't cry or laugh: "Treasure it for more than ten years, Du He, you are only fifteen years old this year, could it be that you will drink before you learn to walk?" ”
"Hahaha......"
Everyone laughed.
This meal of wild vegetable hot pot, everyone who eats it is called happy.
On the contrary, before leaving, Li Er walked to Du He's side and whispered: "I can not blame the past for the matter of Changsun Chong, but you ignored my orders, left the mansion without permission and even left Chang'an City, you must give me an explanation for this matter." ”
Du He is calm on the surface, but he is turbulent inside.
These are two things that he thinks he is doing.
Unexpectedly, Li Er was so clear?
What's the matter, how many Li Er's eyeliners are in this Laiguo Mansion?
Du He once again affirmed that if he really didn't hug Li Er's thigh, there would be only one way to die.
"Hehehehe, Your Majesty, you are really wise and powerful, unpredictable prophet, my admiration for you is like a surging river...... Haha, I suddenly remembered that I still have half a bottle of wine......"
Du He took out Jiang Xiaobai, who he had drunk half before, and hurriedly handed it to Li Er.
Seeing this, Li Er was not polite, and directly accepted it and patted Du He's shoulder: "What did I say just now?" Alas, I forgot about it when I got older, Duhe, you remember the ban I gave you, don't let me down. ”
With that, Li Er left with the half bottle of Jiang Xiaobai that he had blackmailed and left satisfied.
"Lean ......"
Duhe was speechless.
Li Er's shamelessness is beyond Du He's imagination.
……
Early the next morning.
The first thing Du He did when he got up was to go to the furniture factory to check the production of rotating chair parts.
After some testing, these ten carpenters are worthy of being born in the Ministry of Engineering, and the pass rate of the parts produced is 100%.
Assemble the parts that each person has produced, and five revolving wooden chairs are formed.
Du He asked the old man to put the five chairs in the Laiguo Mansion for use.
Then he personally calculated that the cost of a chair, not considering the salary of ten carpenters at this stage, was about 20 yuan.
The old man asked curiously: "Second young master, then let's start today, can we sell chairs?" ”
Du He shook his head: "Selling chairs? This is not a trivial matter, I heard that some people in the DPRK are already dissatisfied with me, right? ”
The old man nodded: "Second young master, now there is news coming out, everyone says that you are deviant, everyone says that this chair is from the Western Regions, only those uncivilized barbarians will use chairs, we Central Plains people have been kneeling since ancient times, and sitting on a chair violates traditional etiquette!" ”
The old man's face was full of worry.
"Humph!"
Du He smiled disdainfully: "What kind of bullshit kneeling etiquette, it's just against human nature, and I'm embarrassed to say etiquette and morality." Tell everyone, hurry up production, how much can be hoarded, and when the time comes, put all our revolving wooden chairs out, and play with a big one if you want to. ”
Immediately, Du He became worried again.
He doesn't have much money now, the 500 taels of silver rewarded by the emperor, if it goes on like this, it won't last long at all, and the amount of silver that needs to be spent to popularize the revolving wooden chair is not a small amount.
"You have to hurry up and make money......"
Du He originally planned to go to Chang'an City to see if there were any ways to make money, but when he thought that his every move was under Li Er's surveillance, he still gave up this idea.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, even if he hasn't accompanied Li Er's side.
If you really want to force Li Er in a hurry, it will definitely not be good for you.
Du He returned to the Lai Guo Mansion with his heart and turned on the system.
Super Lottery System!
Host: Duho.
Age: 15.
Shock value: 270.
He decided to draw a lottery.
Bite!
"Congratulations to the host for getting a copy of the novel "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"."
A hardcover copy of "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" appeared in front of Du He.
This book is a vernacular novel written by Chu Renshu in the Qing Dynasty, telling the story of the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, most of which are apocryphal, but it can't stand the common people like it.
When Du He was still in elementary school, he read this novel, and later listened to the commentary of the novel, and he was very familiar with the story in it.
If you want to look at it now, you can't get interested.
Suddenly, Du He's eyes lit up.
"There is a way to make money, there is a ......"
In this era, there are also novels, but they are called legends, and the biggest feature is that they are written in classical Chinese, and ordinary people have no chance to contact these at all.
It was not until the Ming and Qing dynasties that storytelling became popular, which directly led to the rise of semi-vernacular novels.
Du He looked at the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in his hand, and said with a smile: "Since the entertainment life of the people in Chang'an City is so scarce, let me make a fortune first!" ”
Putting the book down, Du He immediately brought the old man over.
"Old man, you quickly go and find me four carvers to come back. By the way, buy some better paper and come back. Du He commanded.
Although the old man was puzzled, he was used to it during this time.
It didn't take long for the old man to come back.
There are a total of four carvers, all of whom make a living carving seals for people in Chang'an City.
When the four of them saw Du He, they were all genuinely afraid.
Du He said to everyone: "Don't be nervous, the old man said that you are all skilled carvers, now, if you are asked to do things with me, each person's daily salary is 10 Wen, and three meals are full, but anyone is willing?" ”
When the four of them heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Second Young Master, we are willing!"
"We all do!"
"As long as we can do things in the Lai Guo Mansion, we can't ask for it."
Doing things for the second young master of the Laiguo Mansion, no one will refuse, not to mention, there is still a salary of 10 yuan a day.
You must know that in Chang'an City, an adult can live with 1 yuan a day.
And these craftsmen, although they have carving skills, are also precarious.
Du He nodded: "Okay, old man, you take them to familiarize themselves with the rules of the house first, and after lunch, take them to the furniture factory, I have something to explain." ”
Duho began to work on the printing of the book.
