Chapter 23: Preparing to Make Money

Li Kong got his wish.

After Kong Yingda 'shamelessly' informed Li Shimin of his actions, Li Kong was kicked home by Li Shimin and was grounded for half a month.

"I'm not free, I'm not free......" In the courtyard of the British Mansion, Li Kong sat on a simple swing and hummed a saliva song he heard on a TV series in his previous life with a bitter face.

In his previous life, he was the king of soldiers, but because of his personality, his honor and punishment were almost equal, just like the protagonist in a certain TV series, so he was a king of soldiers for several years, participated in hundreds of battles large and small, and only mixed with the rank of major, and finally was kicked out of the army.

When he first came to Datang, he seemed very cautious, because he didn't know anything about this place, even though he knew a lot about the history of this period of time.

But now, with his gradual understanding of the characters around him, his original temperament has been slowly released, but before he could do it vigorously, he was ruthlessly grounded by Li Shimin, that is, under house arrest.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said to a little maid walking in front of him: "Cuizhu, come here!" ”

The little girl blinked and looked at Li Kong, although she was only thirteen years old, but the little girl was already very smart, although she couldn't compare to Li Li, but she was also a proper goddess in her previous life, especially those big eyes, she could see through other people's hearts, she was so aura, as long as she stared at it, it was difficult to look away.

Cuizhu used to be Mrs. England's personal maidservant, and she was only asked by Li Tao from the main courtyard two days ago, and she didn't know what Li Tao was thinking.

"Young Master, do you have any orders?" Cuizhu walked up to Li Kong, holding a basin of water in both hands, which contained half a basin of steaming water, which should be used for Li Yue'e to wash.

"After you finish serving my mother, I will go out to buy some snacks, young master, I am very bored, so I am going to have two drinks."

Cuizhu snorted and laughed, but then said with a bitter face: "Young Master, there are only three yuan in the courtyard this month, and there are still twenty days until next month, so we have to save some flowers, or ...... I'm going to cook two dishes for you later? ”

Three through money? So little?

In the Tang Dynasty, things such as gold and silver have not yet been fully circulated, and the copper coins used are still the copper coins left over from the previous dynasty, which has always been a thousand dollars, of course, this is only in the early stage of Zhenguan, and in the later period of Zhenguan, the consistent money is only eight hundred dollars, as for whose pocket the remaining two hundred dollars go into, Li Kong also knows with his ass.

Although the purchasing power is very strong now, even if the Sanguan money is put in the ordinary peasant households, it is only enough for them to spend about half a year.

As far as Li Kong knows, Du He, Fang Jun and their little children spend more than three times a month, at least ten times, right?

But there are more than a dozen of them in this courtyard, including subordinates, three times of money, drinking the northwest wind?

After Li Kong heard the news, his first thought was that Mrs. Wang was playing tricks, so he couldn't help but want to go over and make trouble, anyway, he had made a fuss half a year ago, and he didn't mind one more time.

But then he suppressed this thought, after all, this time is different from the past, and now he needs to keep brushing his impression on Li Shimin, and strive to snatch Li Lizhen back from Changsun Chong when the time comes, and it is absolutely impossible to make trouble.

In that case, then you have to figure it out for yourself.

"Young Master? If it's all right, then I'll go over and wait for Madame to wash up. Cuizhu saw that Li Kong didn't speak for a long time, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

Li Kong waved his hand, and Cuizhu then left, and he fell into deep thought.

If you want to make money, you must have funds, and it is impossible for him to go out to do business with the three times in the yard, the class of Shinong industry and commerce is already very obvious in this era, unless he doesn't want to mix with officialdom in the future, and even breaks off his thoughts about Li Liqing, otherwise he goes to business is completely looking for death.

But if he doesn't go by himself, with the capital in his hands, he won't even have enough money to hire workers, and he will do a fart business.

Although he had read a lot of novels through history in his previous life, there were many ways to make money, such as winemaking, glassmaking, salt making, etc., but those are long-term investments, and it is impossible to make money in a short period of time, but he will invest a lot, obviously, he does not have that capital now.

So...... What else can be done?

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he said, "In that case, then I can only get some money from you to spend." ”

At this point, he jumped off the swing and shouted, "Fortune, where is it?" ”

In the toilet in a corner, a small servant-like person hurriedly grabbed his pants and ran out, "Less...... Young master, I'm here, there'...... Forehead...... What are the commands? ”

Smelling the smell wafting from behind this goods, Li Kong couldn't help but cover his nose and said, "Hurry up and go back and finish pulling, and then go out to find a few carpenters for the young master, I have to be fast!" ”

"Hey, I know, I'll go!" Rifle answered, and ran into the toilet again.

Looking at the toilet, Li Kong only felt that his back was tight, these days, he was not less by Datang's bamboo pieces for wiping his buttocks, that is, the toilet chips to toss, whenever he finished pulling, he got the thin toilet chips, he wanted to cry without tears.

But the key is that he doesn't understand the technology of papermaking at all, he only knows the raw materials of those things, but he doesn't know anything about how to match them, so he can only endure it now, and can only wait for the money in the future, so he can get a workshop and find some technical talents to study slowly.

After arranging the blessing, he walked to the backyard, where there were some unused woods, which became more tough after being exposed to wind and rain, and did not look rotten at all, and he didn't know what kind of tree it was, but it was undeniable that these things were the only materials for Li Kong to make money, and the quality was absolutely passable.

With the materials, the next thing is the drawings, this thing is difficult to Li Kong, when he was a soldier in the past, there was no less hand-drawn maps, maybe not good at painting, but there is still no problem in drawing some chairs and tables and other patterns, the only defect is that there is no quills now, he is a little worried that he will not be able to understand those carpenters by painting with a brush?

But then he threw away this idea, thinking that he had pretended to be a calligraphy master, and although the writing with a brush was not as good as those grandmasters, it was not comparable to ordinary masters, and with this control, the things drawn should not be ugly, right? After all, calligraphy and painting are not separated, right?

Should...... Right?
