Take the mall to Datang

This simple structure is not a problem if there are skilled craftsmen to imitate it, but they don't have the corresponding production tools, and the time to make it must be much slower than that of Lu Blacksmith. With the advantage in productivity, there is no need to worry about making money. less money.

"Your Highness, I don't know how many wheels you need." Yuan Shan asked softly.

Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "I want to know the output of your workshop."

"This is a commercial secret, so I don't want to sue." Yuanshan replied.

"Hmph, I want to order ten pairs of wheels and finish them within ten days." Li Xiuning said with a cold face.

"Your Highness, Lord Ben Hou can't do it. It will take at least fifteen days." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, when we get back to Chang'an, we will start counting the time." Li Xiuning said.

"No problem, but our Yuanjia Workshop needs to collect half of the deposit first. If the one-time full payment, the construction period can be completed one day earlier." Yuan Shan said.

"Hmph, what a cunning one. When I return to Chang'an, I will immediately ask you to send money to your Zhuangzi." Li Xiuning said.

"Okay, Her Royal Highness will wait to receive the goods when the time comes." Yuan Shan said with a smile.

There are ready-made ones in the Yuanjia Workshop, and if you want to assemble them into a car, then don’t care about him, but this time can’t be too short, otherwise you will be targeted by this Datang princess, and it will become her exclusive supply in the future. It would be a part-time job for her family. Besides, her father is the emperor. If he knows the way to increase the speed, what should he do if he asks for it? So just earn a little money from this princess. Don't be too greedy. Besides, the officials can be transferred. There are so many skilled craftsmen, let them make their own way.

Ten pairs of two small accessories cost 250 guan. After deducting the negligible cost, the net profit is at least [-] guan. This business is really profitable. Now it can solve the urgent need. It was built successfully.

From another point of view, if his pulley is really imitated by officials, it can also promote the progress of industry. The birth and popularization of production tools in the feudal era will definitely affect the times. The range of application of this pulley can be wide Yes, it can be applied to heavy city gates, building construction, and war weapons. These all depend on the creativity of people in this era.

It was already estimated that a sum of money would come into the account. Yuan Shan was in a very good mood. He rummaged through the two huge pockets on his body and took out a few pieces of nougat. He handed it to Li Xiuning and said, "How about this candy?" , the combination of cream and peanuts guarantees you'll want more after eating one piece."

Li Xiuning had been with Yuan Shan for a few days before, and he knew that he got some strange things from this person, for example, the melon seeds last time were very delicious, and the one that was brought back later Butter cake is also a rare dessert.

So this time she didn't mean to be polite to Yuanshan at all, she thought that this guy always took advantage of her, and it would be good to eat some candy from him to make up for it. Datang's candy is in the category of super luxury goods, so it must be It won't be cheap.

Li Xiuning can say with certainty that she has never tasted such a delicious candy for so long. It has a milky taste in the mouth, and it is even softer when she rejects it. There is also the smell of peanuts. Two different foods are mixed together to taste Another flavor arrived.

"Eating this candy can replenish your physical strength, but don't eat too much, or you will gain weight." Yuan Shan said jokingly.

Li Xiuning ignored him and was still savoring the milky nougat. It took a long time before she asked, "How is this nougat made?"

"This, it's a bit complicated to say, but it's not too difficult. It just heats and stirs marshmallows with milk and peanuts, and after cooling, it becomes this nougat." Yuan Shan explained.

"What are marshmallows? I've never heard of them before." Li Xiuning asked curiously.

"This marshmallow, simply put, is a kind of soft sugar that is made by mixing flour, egg white liquid and sucrose." Yuan Shan said.

My heart said that Datang seems to have no starch, and wheat flour can also be used to make wheat flour, which is a good business to make money, but right now I can only fool the princess of Datang to talk about things with flour first, and I don’t know if flour can be used to make cotton Sugar, it is estimated that it will be hard when it is made.

"I didn't expect you to know how to make these things, but a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. You should aspire to become a useful talent in the Tang Dynasty. If you want to seek a consistent and half-time job in the court with your intelligence, I can still help you with this matter." You did it." Li Xiuning said suddenly.

"This Marquis is not destined to be an official. He was born with a brain disease. I don't think the court will use a fool. Besides, I don't want to be an official anymore. I can earn a little money and live comfortably. My wife and children are content with the heat. Thank you very much." The princess loves you." This is not the first time Li Xiuning has heard Yuan Shan say this, last time he was asked to work in the Imperial Medical Office, but there is no way to make Yuan Shan mentally disabled, even if the princess comes forward, the court will not use it Such a person.

Yuan Shanxin said, didn't she talk about sugar? Why did it get involved in other things? This Li Xiuning's thinking is so weird that I can't keep up. I don't know if she did it on purpose or not. What purpose.

The carriage took the official road, because there was the princess Li Xiuning in the carriage, and the speed was quite fast. It took less than a day to reach Puzhou, which is three hundred miles away from Chang'an.

"Princess, we've arrived in Puzhou now. Are you going to follow us back to Chang'an, or recuperate in Puzhou?" Yuan Shan asked.

Li Xiuning's second brother, Li Shimin, is here. To be honest, Yuan Shan really doesn't want to go with the princess. It would be the best thing if he could just get rid of him.

"Puzhou is an important defensive area where my second brother is stationed. I don't want to disturb him, so I'd better go back to Chang'an." Li Xiuning said.

"Well, it will take two days at the earliest to return to Chang'an. Go to the city and prepare some food for the horses before setting off." Yuan Shan said.

Yan Bei was driving a carriage into the city, but he was stopped by soldiers guarding the gate at the gate of the city. Looking at this posture, Yuan Shan thought he had to go through the security check before entering the city.

Chapter 51

Puzhou City is not large in scale, but the whole city looks very strong, and there are still newly repaired parts on the city wall, and lime mortar is also used.

He already understood in his heart that all the lime sold to the imperial court was used to paint the city walls.

Yan Bei got out of the carriage, when a group of gate guards stopped the carriage with spears in hand.

"What do you do, what's in the car?" A black-faced guard asked Yan Bei.

"Brother, Yuanshan, the baron of Lantian County in Chang'an, is in the car. He is about to rush back to Chang'an. I hope it will be convenient for you." Yan Bei said to the guard.

"The king of Qin has an order that all vehicles entering the city must be inspected, and Lord Hou is asked to get out of the vehicle first, and then let him go after a certain search is completed." The black-faced guard said seriously.

Hearing the doorman's voice like a bell, full of confidence, Yuan Shan became curious in the carriage, and lifted the curtain to take a look. The guard had a black face and a tiger beard, a bear body and arms, and a bamboo handle hanging from his waist. With a steel whip and a heart-protecting battle armor, it doesn't look like an ordinary guard at all.

"Holding my badge, you can pass without hindrance." Li Xiuning took out her badge and said, she didn't want these soldiers to see a Tang palace master riding with a man.

Yuan Shan understood the meaning of this face-saving princess, took the badge and walked out, looked at the black-faced young general in front of him again, took out the princess' waist badge and said, "Young general, let's see what this is."

Yuan Shan showed his waist card, wanting to experience the feeling of making people kneel and surrender when the tiger's body shakes.

But there was no response for a long time, so I took a look at the sign, and it said "Mother" on it, Yuan Shanxin said what kind of thing is this, don't bring such a trick, shouldn't it be Princess Pingyang.

"What brand are you carrying? Why hasn't someone seen it before? Baron Lantian, just in time for you to come down, so someone will ask someone to search your frame. Only if there is nothing wrong will you let it go." The black-faced guard said immediately.

Embarrassed, Yuan Shan suddenly discovered that the things of the Palace Master of the Tang Dynasty were not easy to use. Could it be that he had to use the "artifact" for customs clearance? This is something that the Tang Dynasty doesn't seem to like, and besides, he doesn't have much money to give.

After a few breaths, Li Xiuning passed another waist card from the curtain, this one was made of jade.

On it is a flying phoenix pattern, the pattern is very exquisitely carved, and it is very valuable at a glance.

"Brother, let's see if this brand works well." Yuan Shan said helplessly.

The black-faced guard shook his head even more like a rattle, and said frankly: "I haven't seen these two brands before, let me search first."

Yuan Shanxin said yes to you stupid bastard, so he didn't see it before so he couldn't use it, so he asked: "The little general is so heroic and extraordinary, could it be that he has just been on duty not long ago?"

"How do you know, this is the first day of this job, why don't you wait for me to ask someone." The black-faced guard ran to the gate of the city without saying a word, stepped on his horse and entered the city.

"I said that you Tang soldiers are all so swift and vigorous." Yuan Shan underestimated.

Li Xiuning in the carriage couldn't help frowning, it was the first time she saw such a soldier, there was a trace of sadness on her face, she didn't even notice Yuan Shan came in.

"What are you thinking? It's understandable for people not to be familiar with the situation on the first day of employment. Don't worry about it. It's not worthwhile or decent to make trouble for them afterward." Yuan Shan said.

"Oh? I didn't see that you would still try to excuse him by insinuating. This is too far from your shameless character." Li Xiuning asked curiously.

"Hey, I made the princess laugh. Master Ben has always been a caring and conscientious man. Don't look at the black-faced young general just as a doorman, but I can see that he will become my great Tang general in the future." Yuan Shan said.

"Oh? Do you still know the method of face-to-face? How can you be sure that this person will be a strong general? There are not a few powerful people in my Tang Dynasty." Li Xiuning said.

Yuan Shan was worried about how I know how to make faces. I observed carefully just now, and saw the name Yuchi Baolin engraved on the man's bamboo-jointed steel whip.

He is not stupid, he said that a tiger father has no sons, his father is such a great person, in this era his son can be so bad.
