The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 578 Zhang Liangji and the Wall Ladder
"It's nothing to worry about, I'll ask you to buy a few things." Although Li Muyun had the title of a county king, he was a person from later generations, and he didn't show any arrogance, so he said to the old blacksmith very accommodatingly.

"Oh, that's good, that's good." When the old blacksmith heard that he was just punching a few things, he felt slightly relieved and nodded again and again, but he just paused and then said nervously: "It's just that the old man's tools are all in there." At home, without tools, the old man can't build anything."

"Don't ask for that set of things at home, you probably won't need them in the future." Lao Xia, who came with Li Muyun, smiled strangely, and said something, which almost scared the old blacksmith to death.

Fortunately, Li Muyun patted Lao Xia on the side, pushed him aside, and said kindly: "Don't listen to him, the thing is like this, we need you to build something, if your craftsmanship is good, then in the future Just come to my house to work, and your income will definitely not be lower than yours now."

The heart of the old blacksmith was like riding a roller coaster, going up and down, feeling like he was about to be torn up, and his two sons didn't dare to show any abnormal behavior standing behind him.

In this feudal society, the gap in class made them unable to resist at all. Thinking that anyone present could decide their own destiny with a single word, the father and son could only resign themselves to fate.

And just now His Royal Highness Xiaoyao Wang just said that if the craftsmanship is good, what if he thinks the craftsmanship is not good?what will happenMaybe it will be decapitated?

Facts have proved that the old blacksmith thinks a little too much. Li Muyun is not the kind of person who casually vents his anger on others. Even if he does not build things according to the requirements, there will be no problems in the end. It's just my wife.

……

The fire was burning very vigorously, and the fine iron that came out of Changsun Wuji's house had already taken the shape of skates under the beating of the old blacksmith and his two sons.

This thing is very simple to build, as long as it is beautiful, although quenching and other things are required, it is not as strict as the requirements for horizontal knives. Old blacksmiths like to build such simple things.

The new owner's family is very good, and he will be paid [-] yuan per piece for a pair of so-called skates. This wage is excluded from the monthly salary of [-] yuan.

The same is true for his two sons. Because their craftsmanship is not as good as that of their own father, they only have a consistent monthly salary, but this is already very good. The father and son used to be busy every month. Less than five hundred words.

But now, just by making a few pairs of shoes, they can get a three-in-one income, not counting piece-rate wages. Such a high income is something they never dared to dream of before.

So the two sons of the old blacksmith worked very hard, for fear of offending the new owner and driving them out of the house.

In addition, I have to say that skates are already a must-have equipment for the dandies in Chang'an. If any dandy can't skate without skates, it would be a shameful thing.

After a few days of practice, Li Tai has already mastered the essentials of skating. His fat body moves quickly on the ice, which looks like a big meat ball rolling continuously from a distance.

Moreover, the current skates are all specially made, and it is no longer the semicircle that only had two uses to fix the ankles in the past. The boots used to fix the ankles came into being after a few dudes sprained their feet, and became the new favorite of the dudes.

Li Er never expected such a situation. Sitting in the Wangyun Pavilion, he smiled wryly at Empress Changsun. Not far away, Chang Le and the other unmarried princesses were like happy little swallows. Shuttle back and forth on the ice, there will be laughter like silver bells from time to time.

The rapid popularity of ice skating was beyond Li Er's expectations. He was middle-aged and didn't realize how attractive skates were to young people. When he realized it, that thing had already become popular in Chang'an City.

But fortunately, this thing will fall when you start practicing, and naturally there will be fewer falls when you learn to fall.

Li Chengqian was just released. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had been imprisoned for nearly 20 days, was very curious about the so-called skates that his younger sisters were stepping on. However, due to his status, he had no way to experience it for himself, so he could only look at the younger sisters enviously. Playing happily on the ice, I made up my mind that if I have the chance, I must try it myself.

"Father, Queen Mother, come down and try it too. Ice skating is fun, and I heard from Mu Yun that skating can also exercise your body, which is very good for your body." Chang Le took off his shoes after skating and jumped into the In the pavilion, she pulled the sleeves of Empress Changsun and acted like a baby.

Empress Changsun was noncommittal, but just glared at her daughter with her beautiful eyes: "Muyun, Muyun, you are so affectionate, don't forget, that is your Uncle Wang, if someone hears it, it will be He Titong!"

"It's not Uncle Prince, what are you afraid of?" Chang Le pursed his lips and shook Empress Changsun's arm, obviously not taking the matter of seniority to heart.

Like all mothers, looking at her coquettish daughter, Empress Changsun silently said "this is her own" several times in her heart, and then began to turn over the old score again: "You child, you are so disobedient, how many times have you told me to let you go?" Don't leave the palace, you just don't listen, do you know how dangerous what happened last time, if not..."

"If it's not what?" Chang Le saw that her mother stopped talking halfway, and asked mischievously.

In fact, if Li Muyun hadn't been present at that time, Chang Le would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die. Empress Changsun stopped talking because of this.

On the other hand, Li Shimin saw that the mother and daughter chatted more and more crookedly, and couldn't help but said: "Okay, you've had enough fun today, don't worry about freezing, pack up and go back."

"No!" Chang Le agreed knowingly, and then stood obediently beside Empress Changsun, with a very cute appearance.

Empress Changsun gave her daughter a helpless look, and then said: "Sure enough, I can't help my mother, alas!"

"Hehe..." Li Shimin smiled slightly on the sidelines, and changed the topic: "Maid Guanyin, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days, have all the celebrations in the palace been arranged?"

Empress Changsun knew that Li Er was blocking the gun for her daughter, so she stopped entangled in the matter of skating, and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the concubine has already ordered people to make preparations."

"Well, there are a lot of foreign races from around here this time, and I have to be busy with the grand ceremony, so I entrust everything in the palace to you." Naturally, Li Shimin would not distrust Empress Changsun. A woman has unspeakable trust in his heart.
