Listening to Helan Minzhi let him use a new knife, and also gave him a good knife he liked, Ah Da was really happy in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Back to the young master, the small one can use about twenty or thirty catties, it's heavy, and the small one can't dance." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing that he seemed to be a little embarrassed, Helan Minzhi was speechless and burst into tears. Look at Ah Da, looking at his current small body, I really can't bear to look at it.

You must know that one pound in the Tang Dynasty was not the current ten taels, but sixteen taels. I can't imagine what it would be like for such a heavy knife to be slashed, not to mention slashed, even if it was slapped on a person. Glancing at Ah San slightly, it seems that this guy doesn't seem to have practiced martial arts. slapped his forehead: "That's it, Ah Da, you also go with the two of them." Wandering around in Chang'an City. The first is to choose a suitable knife, and the second is to also scan me to hear if there are any ruffians in Chang'an City. ”

Ah Da looked puzzled, wondering why this aristocratic kid was suddenly interested in being a scoundrel and a ruffian. But he didn't ask anything, and nodded honestly.

"Ahem, cough, the most important thing, Ah Da, your task is to work out a method for me as soon as possible, suitable for my current age and body, and lay the foundation."

"Yes, young master."

Looking at the state of several of them, Helan Minzhi said that he was very satisfied. Then he waved his hand: "You wait in the house, and there will be a housekeeper or a maidservant to take you somewhere else." Come and see me tomorrow before you leave the house, and I'll give you a note. ”

Slaves are not free, and if they want to leave their masters, they must have a certificate from their masters. Otherwise, even if you go out of the house, you will be caught by the Jingzhao Mansion or the fangs of each fang will ask when you see it. If you can't hand over the evidence from the owner, you can leave. Then the end of this slave will be bleak. Therefore, Helan Minzhi must also give Ah Da Ah Er Ah San a note to prove it.

Then he waved them out and waited outside the door. There was still some time before dinner, and Helan Minzhi started the first step of his business plan in the house.

Kneeling on the blanket on the ground, brush in hand, he fell into thought. If he could do something on his own, he certainly didn't want to rely on anyone's help. But at the moment I am only eight years old, which is obviously unrealistic.

There are many things that I can't handle by myself. Whether it's personal relationships or funds, I don't have it. So mothers and grandmothers will be indispensable throughout the process.

Holding a brush and sketching a drawing bit by bit, it looks very rough and crooked. In the eyes of the Tang people, this thing is obviously a bit weird. But in the eyes of future generations, it is very clear that this thing is called a sedan chair.

This is also the first step for Helan Minzhi to make money in Datang.

Through these few days of observation, he can already determine that there is no sedan chair in the Tang Empire. The means of transportation of the people are still in the state of horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, or direct horseback riding. Since Taizong, there has also been a popular thing called a chariot, and once in the hands of the great painter Yan Liben painted such a picture of Taizong's steps. Carried by several people, Taizong sat on the chapriot alone, enjoying the worship of everyone and his authority as emperor.

But this is only the treatment that only the emperor or important ministers can enjoy, and this is not covered by the sun in summer and the rain. Winter does not protect against the cold, shelter from the wind. There is not much use at all, and it is often just a spring outing, which can be used for some purposes. It's really flawed, and it can be said that it's almost useless except for pretending to X.

But the sedan chair is different, Helan Minzhi looked at the drawings in front of him, he knew that this thing was bound to become popular in Datang.

The Tang people are martial arts at all, and this martial style permeates the entire Tang Dynasty. Whether it is a civil servant or a military general, everyone is on horseback in the court. But there is one thing, for young people, or those middle-aged people who are in the prime of life, riding a horse is not a problem at all, but what about those old people who are over half a hundred years old? You must know that in such a seniority society, it is almost impossible to become a high-ranking official in Chang'an City without that grade.

How old is the eldest grandson Wuji, who is now in power? Fifty-six years old, close to the age of six. How old is Chu Suiliang? Fifty-four years old.

For an ancient, fifty is almost a lifetime old. There are very few people who can live to be sixty years old, and the first emperor of the ages, Tang Taizong, died in his fifties?

It is really an ordeal to let these old ministers in their fifties still ride their horses and face down every day.

Maybe some people can't ride a horse, so they can make a carriage. But the carriage is bumpy, Chang'an City is very huge, let these old ministers sit in the bumpy carriage, it doesn't hurt to sit in a day or two, and it is very uncomfortable for a long time. Moreover, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty had to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning, and they had to go to the imperial city at five o'clock to wait for the emperor's arrival. People, it is normal to fall asleep in the middle of the night, but the carriage obviously does not provide such conditions, so bumpy, how can an old man sleep.

But the sedan chair is different, carried by two, four, and eight people. As long as you pay a little attention, train the sedan chair driver. It is possible to ensure that the sedan chair is lifted securely and that there is absolutely no problem in providing rest. Moreover, the sedan chair is relatively cold, deliberately blocking the wind and keeping out the cold in winter. In summer, you can shade the sun and the sun. Rain, snow, wind and frost are not invaded, and it is definitely a huge attraction.

Not only the comfort, for the nobles or important ministers, the most important thing may be the sedan chair man.

Sitting in a carriage and being pulled back and forth by animals, where can you reflect your dignity? Not anywhere, it's too common. Almost a little money, and anyone who can afford a horse can be pulled away by this beast.

But being carried by someone is very different, this is a status or status symbol. This is the embodiment of the authority of the aristocracy. In a society that attached so much importance to hierarchical restrictions in the Tang Dynasty, there was such a thing that could improve their status, and it was impossible for the nobles of the Tang Dynasty not to like it.

The sedan chair has just appeared, and if the level and decoration of the sedan chair are not deliberately reported by someone with a heart, it will not be ordered by the imperial court to restrict the grade and color within ten years. It's even better in this way, born in an aristocratic family, Helan Minzhi's memory does not lack this kind of comparison at all in what he has seen and heard.

You can put gold leaf on the palanquin, and I can set pearls.

If you want four people to carry the sedan chair, I can customize the eight-person sedan chair.

Such a comparison is not the slightest benefit to the entire social atmosphere. But for Helan Minzhi, officially because of this style of comparison, maybe he can do more.

The only difficulty now is that I am not very familiar with the construction of the sedan chair, and everything needs to be tried again, but this is not a problem at all for carpenters and tailors.

As long as you separate the two customized directions, you don't have to worry about someone copying it before you create it. Moreover, he was originally from an aristocratic family, and after going all the way, he finally came up with such a thing, which is a reasonable and normal thing. No one will doubt it.

(Happy New Year, Happy New Year)
