Chapter 81: Make a chair by the way
Li Ke naturally knew that Kong Jingrou didn't believe in herself and felt that she was evading labor. However, Li Ke has not yet reached the point of competing with his wife.
After all, after she builds the Quyuan plow, Kong Jingrou will definitely admire herself so much. When the time comes, I will definitely have a lot of face as a husband.
So Li Ke didn't pay attention to Kong Jingrou's suspicious eyes, but turned around and went back to the Qi Palace. After returning to the house, he ordered someone to find Li Jiang.
and also explained that when Li Craftsman came, he would bring a few more skilled carpenters. And bring all the tools with you.
When Li Gong received the notice, although he didn't know what Li Ke was going to do. But he still didn't hesitate to take people to the Qi Palace.
After arriving at the Qi Palace, he opened his mouth and said to Li Ke: "Prince, according to the prince's explanation, his subordinates brought a total of five carpenters. All of them are skilled craftsmen. ”
After Li Ke nodded, he handed over a drawing to Li Gong. And he said, "Today the king has seen the plough used by the people to plough the land, which is very time-consuming and laborious. ”
So it occurred to me that we could make such a plow. If you use it to cultivate the land, the efficiency will be greatly improved. ”
Li Jiang took the drawings and looked at them, and then said to Li Ke: "Lord Wang, don't worry, we will definitely get this plow out today." ”
After saying that, he went down with a few carpenters and got busy. However, Li Ke was not idle, and kept commanding on the side. Correction of mistakes made during the production process.
To say that these carpenters brought by Li Jiang are really all skilled craftsmen. It only took nearly an hour or so to successfully make a curved plow.
Seeing that the time was still early, Li Ke said: "As the saying goes, the good one doesn't bother the two masters, and this stool is really uncomfortable for the king to do." Why don't you make some chairs with backrests for this king? ”
"Lord Wang, it is natural that your subordinates will do something for you. But what does this chair look like? The subordinates have never seen it. Li Jiang opened his mouth and asked Li Ke.
Li Ke picked up the wolf pen, brushed a little bit and drew the shape of the chair on the paper. And it is also a famous Taishi chair in later generations.
With the drawings, it is naturally much more convenient to do the work, and several carpenters started to make the Taishi chair according to the drawings.
This Taishi chair was not manufactured so quickly. After all, this is for Li Ke to sit on, so naturally he can't do it so-so.
So it took most of the day, and the four Taishi chairs were basically completed. This is still Li Ke just painted a simple backrest Taishi chair, if you carve various patterns, it is estimated that you will not be able to make one in a few days.
However, this has made Li Ke feel very satisfied, and kneeling is simply a kind of sin for Li Ke. Although the Hu stool can make Li Ke straighten his legs, where can there be a Taishi chair to sit comfortably.
"Lord Wang, this chair is really comfortable to sit on. However, there is still a lack of a tall bookcase to match. If there was another tall bookcase, it would be even more perfect. A carpenter said to Li Ke.
"You think if you want to put this chair on the market, plus the tall book case you said. Will the sales be unusually hot? Li Ke asked.
"Lord Qiyu, the villain is just a carpenter, and he doesn't know anything about business. However, from the villain's point of view, if the price is affordable by the villain, he will definitely be willing to buy one and put it at home. The carpenter replied to Li Ke.
Li Ke nodded after hearing this, and then said to Li Gong: "After I go back, I will try to bring this chair and high-legged bookcase to the market." By the way, the king of the tall bookcase also gave him a name by the way, and called it the table. ”
"Don't worry, I will find Li Shang to study it after I go back. Strive to put the tables and chairs in the Treasure Pavilion for sale as soon as possible. Li Jiang nodded and said to Li Ke.
"If you have time, you can set up a furniture factory. to process and produce these furniture, and then hand over the finished products to Li Shang. ”
"It's better to give these pieces of furniture another name, and the furniture that your furniture factory will produce in the future. All of them are marked with such a trademark, which can show its difference. Li Ke opened his mouth and said to Li Jing.
Li Ke's meaning is to prepare to let the people understand the brand and trademark during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. This will be of great help in the future.
Just as Li Ke and Li Jiang were chatting, the five carpenters started again. Although there are no drawings given by Li Ke, it is really not difficult to build a high table according to the appearance of a bookcase.
In addition, there is a lot of wood next to it, so it is more convenient and faster to manufacture. It took only a stick of incense to make a high table appear in front of Li Ke.
Li Ke looked at the four chairs and a table, and couldn't help but nodded. At this time, Kong Jingrou also came back with Yue'er and Yu'er.
Seeing the table and chair in front of Li Ke, Yu'er whispered to Kong Jingrou: "Miss, see it, the prince is just taking the opportunity to be lazy." You see, what does this thing he make have to do with arable land? ”
At this time, Kong Jingrou also looked helpless, took two steps forward and asked Li Ke with a smile: "This is what you are going to use to plow the land tomorrow?" ”
Seeing that Kong Jingrou was back, Li Jiang and several carpenters hurriedly saluted Kong Jingrou. Then he told Li Ke to leave. After all, what Li Ke needed had already been made.
After Li Jiang left, Li Ke said to Kong Jingrou with a smile: "This is what we use to eat at night, and the Quyuan plow for plowing the land tomorrow has already been prepared." ”
"You just blow it, and wait for tomorrow to be embarrassed. When the time comes, it will be up to you, the dignified King of Qi, to step down. Kong Jingrou glanced at Li Ke and said.
……
"Lord Wang, the horses you want are ready." Gao Kan came to Li Ke and spoke.
"Okay, you go and take a few people and the king to the cotton fields for a walk. This king wants to give it a try, whether the newly invented curved plow is good or not. Li Ke nodded and said to Gao Kan.
After explaining everything, Li Ke took Kong Jingrou to the cotton field. By the time Li Ke and Kong Jingrou arrived, Gao Kan was already waiting there with five blood wolf forbidden soldiers.
And according to Li Ke's explanation, a product was prepared. Just waiting for Li Ke and Kong Jingrou to come.
"Lord Wang, everything is ready. Just wait for your order, and we can try the effect of this curved plow. Gao Kan opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.
"Let Ben Wang try it for himself." After Li Ke finished speaking, he asked Gao Kan to put the Quyuan plough behind the horse.
Li Ke's move couldn't help but make everyone feel puzzled. After all, it was rare to use horses to plow the land in ancient times, although horse ploughing had already appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.
But the horse was the main tool of war and transportation, and it was also the first of the six animals. So the price is naturally very expensive.
And how did the people have the money to buy horses and plough the land? Some can't even afford to plough cattle. Not to mention using horses to pull plows to plough the land.
