On this day, at the door of the Chang'an County Ya, there was an elderly official. In the northwest in early spring, the weather was still cold, and the official leaned against the door to bask in the sun.

Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

"Bang, bang, bang", a burst of horses' hooves woke him up from his dream, he opened his eyes and saw a team of people and horses, dressed up, servants of large families, they escorted a carriage, came to the gate of the county government.

The old official is knowledgeable, and when he looks at the posture of the person, he knows that he is not a person in this county. Judging from the direction of coming, it must be a distinguished guest from Chang'an City.

He was about to step forward to ask, when a servant said very imposingly: "Hurry up and inform your county commander, my lord, Lord Li and Master Du, assistant directors of the Tang Scientific Research Institute, have arrived, and let him come out to greet him quickly." ”

This said that the old official was stunned. "Assistant to the director of the Datang Research Institute? What kind of official is this? I haven't heard of it. ”

At this time, Du He, who got off the carriage, took out a beautifully printed business card from his bosom, and the servant hurriedly took it and handed it to the old servant.

The old official also knew a few words, but he couldn't recognize them all, but he recognized them from the three words of Liupin. When he saw that he was older than his own county magistrate, he hurriedly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait, the villain will go and inform my county magistrate." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly ran inside.

Chang'an County Commander is called Wang Hailai, 36 years old this year, born as a Jinshi. He took the business card handed over by the old official and looked at it, it was very rare. I saw that this business card was more than an inch wide and more than two inches long, and it was very beautifully printed, and it was covered with smooth and transparent packaging of unknown materials, which felt very precious.

Look at the content again, what reads: "Assistant to the Director of the Datang Scientific Research Institute (from the sixth grade), Du He." "The office address is printed underneath.

Wang Hailai County Commander has received a notice from the Ministry of Industry, saying that there is a research institute that wants to come to Chang'an County to recruit people, and he has made preparations. He knew that someone was coming, it must be someone from the research institute, so he hurriedly greeted him.

In Wannian County, Li Jiuling, the county magistrate, also received a business card from Huang Qi, director of the office of the Datang Research Institute, and was also secretly surprised by the exquisiteness of the business card.

Li Su planned to build a seed bank in the courtyard of the institute to store plant seeds from Taobao, so he came to the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Works, Shangshu Huang Fu Rui, also received Li Su's business card. He said: "His Royal Highness King Liang, you came to the Ministry of Works in person, do you have any send?" The minister has received the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and is ready to cooperate with you in your work. ”

Li Su said: "Please send me some craftsmen, I will build a few houses, in addition, find a few carpenters, I will be useful." ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Fu Rui said: "No problem, the minister will arrange it." With that, he sent his men to make arrangements.

While waiting, Huang Furui was very interested in the business card in his hand, and he asked, "Your Highness, how did you make this famous thorn, so beautiful?" ”

"Famous thorn" is a kind of clerical slip similar to a modern business card, which flourished in the late Han Dynasty and was popular in the Six Dynasties, with the Wei and Jin dynasties being the most popular; The Sui and Tang dynasties continued. Originally used in officialdom, officials wrote their names, titles, places of origin and other contents in detail, and delivered them to each other on important occasions for friendship and greetings.

In ancient times, this kind of business card was handwritten, even if the calligraphy is very good, the handwriting is still different from the degree of delicacy printed by the computer.

Li Su's research institute is a new thing, and he found that if he introduced it to others, it would be very difficult to explain, so he simply asked Tang Taobao to print a plastic business card for each person in the research institute.

The people in the institute liked it very much, so they were willing to go out to do errands and show off their business cards. And so there was the previous scene.

A box of business cards isn't worth much, but with 20 times the shipping cost, it's not cheap. The bad guys of the research institute only know how to show off, and they send out a lot of business cards, which are distributed by the research institute anyway, and they don't spend their own money.

This can make Li Su feel distressed. He pondered that he would try to send them as little as possible or not at all in the future.

At this moment, Li Su saw the expression of Huang Fu Rui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he had an idea and said, "Lord Huangfu, do you like it?" If you like, I'll help you print a box. ”

Huang Furui was very happy and said: "The relationship is good, the minister likes it, thank you, Your Highness." ”

Li Su said: "I'll print it for you right away." However, this thing costs money, you see? ”

"How much does it cost, I'll buy it!" Huang Furui said.

"Huh? Why is this expression, this demeanor, so familiar? Li Su suddenly remembered Zhao Benshan's sketch "Selling Abduction", Fan Wei's lines.

"Haha", Li Su smiled happily. said: "Lord Huangfu, let's discuss, I will give you your business card for free, so many officials of the Ministry of Industry, do you also print some for them?" Don't worry, I'll print you the same as mine. Printed for other officials, the quality is poorer, there is no cover. ”

"How much?" Huang Furui is still in that demeanor. He doesn't care, it's the public money anyway.

A box of 100 business cards, ordinary 10 yuan, plus the freight to the Taobao system, a total of 210 yuan. According to the price of 10 taels of silver for 1 tael of gold in Datang, exchange it for gold, and buy it in later generations, according to the modern price, a tael of gold is worth more than 70 taels of silver, and in conversion, a tael of silver in Datang is worth nearly 1,500 yuan.

One tael of silver can buy 7 boxes of business cards, and that's the cost.

Li Su calculated clearly, he said: "One tael of silver, 3 boxes of business cards, and a box of 100 cards, how about it?" ”

Huang Furui also calculated and said, "Okay, such a beautiful business card has preservation value." I'll order a box for each of the officials from 7 and above in the Ministry of Industry. ”

The Ministry of Industry customized a total of 31 boxes of business cards, and Li Su earned a net of 11 taels of silver.

Li Su is not too little, there are so many officials and nobles in Datang, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make money?

Sure enough, as Li Su expected.

On this day, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, saw Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and said: "Lord Shangshu, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have printed exquisite new name thorns, which they call business cards. Take a look? As he spoke, he handed over a business card of an official of the Ministry of Works.

"Haha, good stuff. Why can they have it, and we have to have it, are these business cards printed by themselves? The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"No, I heard that it was printed by some research institute of Datang." Wai Lang, a member of the ministry, said.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "It turned out to be those boys, haha." ”

The small business card caused a sensation in Chang'an City. Then, the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty were proud to have this kind of business card, and the officials from other places also asked people to come to the institute to print it.

Datang Science Research Institute.

"Brother Liang Wang, let's get rich." Li Ning'er laughed so much that she couldn't close her mouth.
