On the first day of the first month of the sixth year of Huichang, located in the northeast corner of Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty Jingshi, the sixteen kings' mansion is in the fang, the ridge is covered in a lively atmosphere, people say to each other that the longevity is extended, the new longevity of the beginning of the Fuqing is extended, and the background music is the sound of firecrackers.

The situation of the Sixteen Princes' Mansions represents the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty. Last year was a peaceful year for Datang. Although there are still disasters and famines, China is so big, it is inevitable that the wind and rain are not smooth in some places, but under the leadership of the ruling team, led by the current Tang Emperor, and implemented by the virtuous minister Li Deyu, Datang is still moving forward steadily. Therefore, the entire Sixteen Princes' Mansion has received a lot of rewards this year. People are also jubilant, and children have the heart to set off firecrackers.

No matter what era it is, children always like to play with firecrackers, and there are bursts of firecrackers in the Guangwang Mansion in the lane, and the hard-working little fat man continues to be tortured by his unscrupulous father ********. After getting rid of the grandmother who doted on her grandson too much, Li Chen started the little fat man training plan.

'I wish grandmother, grandfather, mother, a long and happy life. When the little fat man finished his New Year's greeting respectfully, Li Chen gave him a red envelope first.

'Wow, it's a red envelope, it's a red envelope. The little fat man was so happy, he hurriedly opened the red envelope and sealed it, poured out a few silver trees inside, and jumped with excitement.

As mentioned before, Datang does not have the custom of giving red envelopes. This red envelope was naturally proposed by Li Chen. And the reason why the kid will know is because Li Chen started to promote it in advance a few years ago, using the children's army to spread among children, plus the connection between Yangzhou and Chang'an, this trend spread quickly. At least in Yangzhou and Chang'an, there are already many parents who give their children red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

After greeting the New Year, after taking the red envelope, Li Chen drove his fat son to the yard to set off firecrackers. He was very wicked and put the bamboo knots one by one far away from the fire, so that the little fat man threw a few at a time, and then had to run a little way back and take it again. After a few trips, in this cold weather, the little fat man was sweating hot.

It's not that the little fat man hasn't thought of a way, he wants to take a few more at a time, or even take away the whole box containing bamboo knots. But his hands are small, and he can't hold much when stuffed. Xiang took the whole box away, but gave Li Chen a glare. If you want your mother or grandmother to help him get it, it's the same. But he didn't have many pockets on him, so he had to run back and forth diligently.

'Ouch, grandma is a good grandchild, grandma will take you to the bath. Seeing that his grandson was tired and couldn't run, Zheng was worried that he would catch a cold when he sweated, so he was so distressed that he took him to take a bath. Thanks to the coal stove, it is possible to boil hot water very quickly. Originally, there was no one, but it was rewarded by the palace this year. Of course, the Imperial Palace Ouchi will not be bought, Li Chen's coal Lu has been regarded as a tribute, and it will be sent to the Ouchi Palace for royal use every year.

This opportunity was won by Li Chen. There is no money to pay tribute. It can be regarded as a kind of local taxation, and when everyone else regards Nagong as a daunting path, Li Chen does the opposite and manages to win this opportunity. Originally, Jia Xing still laughed at Li Chen's stupidity, but then he was really dumbfounded.

Because the coal stove was so profitable, more and more blacksmith shops joined the competition, in addition to some small shops, but also large ones.

Competition has increased, production has also increased, although Yangzhou merchants took the opportunity to sell coal stoves to various places, but it is inevitable that the price will be lowered, and the profits will also be diluted.

Jiajia's shop is good, the first few to launch a coal stove shop, coupled with a good handiwork, polished the signboard of Jia's coal stove, and their coal stove is not worried about sales. The price is also a little more expensive. Li Chen's blacksmith shop, although the sales volume is large, but when it comes to the profit of a single coal furnace, it is not as good as the Jia family. But then, everything changed.

Of course, Li Chen did not dislike the amount of money, and deliberately won this opportunity to pay tribute, and spent money to make the emperor happy, but took advantage of this opportunity to launch a high-grade coal stove with a royal tribute grade.

Where did Li Chen get the best products? First of all, the group of blacksmiths under Li Chen, although they are all halfway monks. But if you play more, the craftsmanship will also come up, the technology will improve, and the things you can type out will be much more exquisite. Secondly, Li Chen figured out the water conservancy stamping machine.

It seems to be very high-tech, but in fact, it is the use of a waterwheel to raise the mold to a high place, and then it is falling on the heated iron sheet. In this way, an iron sheet with a pattern was created.

High-quality coal stove and flying high-quality products, in fact, the function is the same, the difference is whether there is gorgeous decoration, whether the design is humane enough, for example, the corners and corners, in the past, the general coal stove, it seems relatively rough. Fine, he slipped, polished, and the angle was round and not prickly.

Later, it is mentioned that those who want to see the craftsmanship of the blacksmith and the gorgeous decoration will have to look at the hydraulic stamping machine. As soon as they fall together, the pattern will be good, and it is better than the old blacksmith to polish it slowly.

Li Chen's actions made the blacksmith shop dumbfounded, who had planned to watch a good show. I thought that there was a fool fighting for tribute, and everyone could watch the joke. But who would have thought that in addition to paying tribute, Li Chen also proposed a royal high-quality coal stove, which was still in short supply, and queued up every day to pick up the goods to get ox carts and donkey carts, and you could go around the square several times.

They only now thought of the benefits of being enshrined in the royal family, but unfortunately it was too late. Li Chen has signed a contract for a few years, and it is agreed that within a few years, Li Chen's tribute will be supplied, and if they want to grab this brand, I am afraid they will have to wait.

Li Chen thought for a while, and the little fat man came out. Led by his grandmother to go out to pay New Year's greetings, he took a bath and was fragrant, wearing a brand-new leather jacket and a silk coat. Probably just crazy enough, tortured enough by Li Chen, it seems a little unenergetic.

'Mother, you see the boy is so tired, let's not take him out yet, let's have some fun.' ''Play? Zheng smiled and said, "You haven't tossed enough to have a son just now." ''Not really. Li Chen was a little embarrassed, "Play some static games." ’

Li Chen brought the whole family and took out something. 'What is this?' Zheng took a piece of paper, "How do you play this?" ’

And with these things. Li Chen took out a lot of other supporting objects, small cards, small wooden model houses, and dice.

Chao took the paper from his mother-in-law's hand, only to see this large piece of paper, and the back was white. A lot of things are drawn on the front, and there are many squares on the outermost part, and then there are two large squares inside, on which are written chance and fate. 'Monopoly? Chao Shi read the three big characters in the middle of the square.

That's right, Li Chen is a big man. This paper game, which is almost unknown in modern times and has no one, was moved to the Tang Dynasty by Li Chen.

The rules are as follows. Li Chen explained the rules briefly, and Chao Shi wondered, "If the husband wants to play, why don't you finish the promotion map?" 'If Monopoly is good, play Monopoly.' At this time, Zheng interjected. Then the six people were divided into four ancestors and began to play.

Three wives and concubines, one person and one ancestor, and then the Zheng family held a group of grandsons, and Li Chen was neutral as a referee and a bank. Instruct them how to play and then give them tolls.

If Monopoly is a childhood memory of modern people, what about the Tang Dynasty? You say there were no paper games in the Tang Dynasty? Wrong, just now Chao said that there was a promotion map in the Tang Dynasty.

This is also a kind of paper game, but it is older than Monopoly, and if you want to talk about it seriously, it is also more vital than Monopoly, which has not faded for thousands of years, and it has slowly withdrawn from the children's game stage in these decades, in fact, it has been until the Republic of China, and even after the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, it is still popular.

The promotion chart has a very strong vitality, and it will change in different years according to different official systems, and when you arrive in the Republic of China, you will be the president. The basic rule is to decide on birth first, and decide who you are. Roll the dice again.

It's not that the dice decide how many officials to be promoted, the dice are similar to chance and fate, how many are rolled, there are corresponding judgments, and they are so good that they will be promoted, and they generally don't move. It's so bad that if you are found to be corrupt, you have to be demoted.

When Li Chen came to Beijing, he was not the only one who followed Fu Bo, many people would enter Beijing one after another, and they were all talented people in business. Many of these talents were Suleiman's original subordinates, and Li Chen later recruited and trained them. Li Chen sent them to Beijing to gradually expand his business territory.

However, Li Chen didn't want to touch too many of the original interests of the Jingshi for the time being, like Xu Fu and Yangzhou, he didn't want to have a conflict every time he expanded. Although his ultimate goal is to replicate the various industries that will bring him huge profits from Yangzhou in Beijing.

But at present, safety is the first priority, so he wants to sell some new products, just when the New Year comes, in addition to the spring year, the door god, Li Chen also put the monopoly this old and young people to the things launched.

Fortunately, there were paper games in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, although they were not so popular, but there were precedents, and Li Chen was not afraid of adapting to the soil and water.

As for why Li Chen didn't just launch a large number of promotion charts. That's because, trouble..., the promotion chart is played, Li Chen feels too troublesome. There are more words to know in the promotion chart, and there are few Monopoly people. As long as the promotion chart can throw dice, Monopoly also needs to be able to make simple calculations and use his brain.

After playing with his family for a while, and seeing that they were all familiar with the Fa, Li Chen left for the time being. Then bring Fauber in.

Fu Bo also followed into the palace, but Li Chen didn't assign him to be a housekeeper, only let him be a servant himself, no way, there are not many people who can be trusted, he has to be cautious.

'Go and ask Elder Fu to come over. Li Chen instructed a servant, and then walked back to his study. Fu Bo, Li Chen always thought it was called that, but in fact, it should be the surname Fu, Fu Bo is right. Li Chen only learned about this recently.

'The King. Fu Bo came quickly, knocked lightly on the door, pushed the door and entered, "Fu Lao, can a certain family ask you to do something?" ''Command, O king.'' ', replied Fauber, or rather Fuber.

A certain family wants to know why the son is chasing and killing such and such a family today. Hearing this question, Fu Bo also frowned, in fact, they have been investigating for a long time, but unfortunately there has been no follow-up, only knowing that today Zi has to kill this uncle, and no one knows what the aftertaste is. Of course, Li Chen also knows this, so he today...

If it's possible, I'd like to ask in person.... (To be continued.) )
