God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 19 The Idea of ​​Making Money

It is often heard that the ancients ate meat and drank in large bowls. It sounds like a lot of alcohol, but in fact it is all bluffing.

Due to the backward technology, especially the lack of distillation technology, the liquor of this era has a much lower alcohol content than the liquor of later generations.

When Du He first came, drinking baijiu of this era was not much better than drinking liquor.

Lao Cheng drank a glass of low-alcohol wine, and suddenly drank half a glass of high-alcohol wine. He drank so quickly that he passed out immediately.

Li Er sipped a little bit, and said with emotion: "It really is a good wine. When I first tasted it, it felt spicy and burned my mouth, and then I felt warm all over my body. It's really a good wine!"

As he spoke, he looked at Du He with a smile.

Du He hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "It's gone, just these two bottles. I have kept them for more than ten years, and I took them all out today."

Li Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Treasured for more than ten years, Du He, you are only 15 years old this year, could it be that you drink before you can walk?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed.

This meal of wild vegetable hot pot made everyone happy.

On the contrary, before leaving, Li Er walked up to Du He and said in a low voice, "I can let go of Changsun Chong's matter, but you ignored my orders and left the mansion and even Chang'an City without permission. Let me explain."

Du He was calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent.

He thought he did these two things without anyone noticing.

Unexpectedly, Li Er knew everything clearly?
What the hell, how many eyeliners of Li Er are there in the Lai State Mansion?

Du He once again affirmed that if he really didn't hug Li Er's thigh, he would have to die.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, you are truly wise and mighty, a prophet of unpredictability. My admiration for you is like a surging river... Haha, I suddenly remembered that I still have half a bottle of wine..."

Du He took out the Jiang Xiaobai that he had drunk half before, and hurriedly handed it to Li Er.

Seeing this, Li Er was not polite, accepted it directly, and patted Du He on the shoulder: "What did I say just now? Sigh, I forgot this when I was getting old. Du He, remember what I gave you. Foot ban, don't let me down."

With that said, Li Er took the half bottle of Jiang Xiaobai he had extorted and left contentedly.

"Depend on……"

Du He was very speechless.

Li Er's shamelessness was beyond Du He's imagination.

……

The next morning.

The first thing Du He did after waking up was to go to the furniture factory to check the production of swivel chair parts.

After some testing, these ten carpenters were indeed from the Ministry of Industry, and the parts they produced had a [-]% pass rate.

By assembling the parts produced by everyone, five rotating wooden chairs were formed.

Du He asked Lao Fu to put the five chairs in the Lai State Palace for use.

Then he personally calculated that the cost of a chair, regardless of the salaries of ten carpenters at this stage, is about 20 Wen.

Old Fu asked curiously: "Second Young Master, can we sell chairs starting today?"

Du He shook his head: "Selling chairs? This is not a trivial matter. I heard that someone in the court is already dissatisfied with me, right?"

Old Fu nodded: "Second young master, now there is news that you are deviant, and everyone says that this chair is from the Western Regions, and only those uncivilized barbarians can use chairs. We people in the Central Plains have been kneeling since ancient times. Sitting on a chair violates traditional etiquette!"

Old Fu was full of worry.

"Humph!"

Du He said with a disdainful smile: "What kind of nonsense kneeling ceremony is simply against human nature, and I have the nerve to talk about etiquette and morality. Tell everyone, hurry up and produce as much as you can hoard. When the time comes, let's release all our rotating wooden chairs. If you want to play, play a big one."

Immediately, Du He became worried again.

He doesn't have much money now. The 500 taels of silver rewarded by the emperor will not last long if it goes on like this. If you want to popularize the rotating wooden chair, you need to spend a lot of money.

"You have to hurry up to make money..."

Du He originally planned to go to Chang'an City to see if there was any way to make money, but when he thought that his every move was under the supervision of Li Er, he gave up this idea.

Being with you is like being with a tiger, even if you haven't been with Li Er yet.

If you really want to push Li Er into a hurry, it will definitely not do you any good.

Du He returned to Lai Guogong's mansion with his thoughts in mind, and turned on the system.

Super lottery system!

Host: Duhe.

Age: 15.

Shock value: 270.

He decided to draw a lottery.

Ding!
"Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a copy of the novel "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"."

A hardcover copy of "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" appeared in front of Du He.

This book is a vernacular novel written by Chu Renhuo in the Qing Dynasty. It tells stories about the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. Most of it is fabricated, but it cannot be liked by ordinary people.

Du He had read this novel when he was still in elementary school, and later listened to the storytelling interpreted by the novel, so he was very familiar with the stories in it.

Looking at it now, but I am not interested.

Suddenly, Du He's eyes lit up.

"There is a way to make money..."

In this era, there are also novels, but they are called legends. The biggest feature is that they are written in classical Chinese, and ordinary people have no chance to touch them.

It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that storytelling became popular, which directly led to the rise of novels written in semi-vernacular Chinese.

Du He looked at the "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" in his hand, and said with a smile: "Since the entertainment life of the people in Chang'an City is so scarce, let me make some money first!"

Putting down the book, Du He immediately called for Old Fu.

"Old Fu, hurry up and find me four engravers. By the way, buy some high-quality paper." Du He ordered.

Although Old Fu was puzzled, he had gotten used to it during this period of time.

After a while, Lao Fu came back.

There are a total of four sculptors, all of whom make a living in Chang'an City by carving seals for others.

When the four of them saw Du He, they were all terrified.

Du He said to everyone: "Don't be nervous. The old man said that you are all skilled sculptors. Now, if you are asked to work with me, each person will be paid 10 yuan a day and three meals a day. Is there anyone willing?"

When the four of them heard this, their eyes lit up.

"Second Young Master, we are willing!"

"We are all willing!"

"As long as we can do things in Lai Guogong's mansion, we can only wish for it."

No one would refuse to work for the second young master of Lai Guogong's mansion, let alone 10 Wen per day.

You know, in Chang'an City, an adult can live on 1 penny a day.

And these craftsmen, although they have carving skills, are also precarious.

Du He nodded: "Okay, old Fu, take them to familiarize themselves with the rules of the mansion first. After lunch, take them to the furniture factory. I have something to explain."

Du He started to print the book by hand.
