I'm doing infrastructure around the tyrant [system]

Tang Yu, who originally planned to reform and support the Tang family, became more concerned after receiving a new task from the system.

At present, he can't do other things, but it's still possible to get some food back to alleviate the family's poverty. Let's set a small goal first, so that the Tang family can eat enough.

Here I have to say that what Grandma Tang said is still correct, the two uncles of the Tang family are really useless, if there is not a rich second aunt to subsidize, how can everyone live in the city and drink millet Congee, I have already gone back to the countryside to eat wild vegetables and wheat bran.

However, how to reasonably take food and money back to the family is also a question that needs to be carefully considered.

After all, everyone in the Tang family is not a fool. If he took out something for no reason, people would doubt what he had done.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Tang Yu first went to the private school to resign from her husband behind her back, and then went to the private school to prepare to make money under the pretext of copying books.

The original owner stopped studying seriously after being admitted as a scholar and could be lazy in a fair manner. The private school teacher had already lost patience with him, a student who was not motivated.

Copying books to make money is currently the only job Tang Yu can think of that he can do.

Many of his skills in modern times cannot be used in ancient times, and jobs in ancient times were not so easy to find. If you want to find a job in a city, you must have acquaintances, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find things to do, including physical labor.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Tang Yu felt that going to a bookstore to copy books was the most convenient and most suitable for his current status.

In fact, copying books is not copying books. To be precise, it should be carved bamboo slips, because there is no paper in this world so far, and bamboo slips with carved knives or cloth ink are used for writing.

It is conceivable that in this backward environment, the cost of studying has increased, and the number of scholars is even rarer. The scholars here are far more elite than modern people think.

Therefore, the status is high, and the scholars here are more self-reliant on their status. Generally, if they are not in real trouble, no one is willing to surrender their status and go to the book shop to engrave books to make money.

Furthermore, it would take at least half a day to engrave a bamboo slip. Everyone hurry up to study. Where did so much time come from?

So when Tang Yu went to the bookstore to express his desire to engrave books to make money, he should have received a warm welcome from the shopkeeper of the bookstore, because they lacked people.

The shopkeeper of the book shop is surnamed Lu, and he is very active in entertaining,

"Scholar Tang, how about engraving a scroll of bamboo slips for 200 copper baht? The engraving knife is provided by our bookstore."

Scholars are a unified respect for scholars at this time.

The size of the bamboo slips here is about one or two hundred characters, and it takes a long time for a skilled hand to engrave them. To be honest, some of them are cheap.

But there is no way, Licheng is a barren land, and the economy is not developed. This price is already the highest that a bookstore can open. It is already very good to have 2 to 30 copper baht a day for ordinary work.

Moreover, the carving knife is prepared by the other party, which Tang Yu thinks is feasible, because the productivity is low, and the metal utensils here are very expensive, and it will cost a lot of money to buy a carving knife if it is damaged.

Because the purpose of engraving books at the book shop was to find an excuse to cover up the source of the money and food, so Tang Yu was not in a hurry to write, and slowly carved the words, and then took the opportunity to grab the free books at the book shop.

The shopkeeper of the book store asked him to engrave books on travel notes and customs of various countries.

This kind of books are easier to sell in bookstores, because the transportation is inconvenient, and it is difficult for students who have not completed their studies to go out and travel. If they want to understand the outside world, they can only read from books, and to add knowledge to themselves, they have to read these miscellaneous books.

For example, most of the books for serious study are borrowed from the teacher's collection in the private school and reprinted by themselves, saving some money.

The previous original owner never thought of making a living at all. The purpose of studying and taking the exam was purely to cope with the family, so he didn't read these extracurricular books at all, and he didn't have many useful memories in his mind.

When I first read the book, the Yin Tyrant had already unified the six kingdoms, and the whole book revolved around the Yin Tyrant's cruelty and emotional lines. It can be said that Tang Yu was completely blind to this world.

The system wants to help Tyrant Yin build infrastructure, how can he do it if he doesn't understand the world situation?

Not only is the production lagging behind, but the current situation is also very chaotic. The seven countries stand together, and the relations between the countries are tense and fight at every turn. There are also various princes and grandchildren competing internally. It can be said that there are internal and external troubles everywhere...

But all of this has nothing to do with Licheng for the time being.

The land on the side of Licheng is very barren, the yield of crops is too low, and it is close to the wild grassland from time to time, which is invaded by tribes on the other side of the grassland, so there are very few merchants here to do business, so the economy is not developed.

That's right, there are still many primitive tribes in this world. These are the remnants of the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age. They were driven away by countries that have developed civilization and can only live in the harsh grasslands. Due to the hardship of life, they are often harassed Civilized towns around the grasslands.

But it was precisely because Li City was dilapidated and barren that the King of Qin enfeoffed it to Yin Yu as a fief.

The reason seems to be that Yin Yu killed King Qin's Ai Ji who had been admonishing the King of Qin and made him and his mother humiliated for many years as a hostage in a foreign country. He ordered someone to break his son's legs, and then sent him to the barren land to live and die.

It's just that King Qin didn't expect that his son was a ruthless character, and in the end he counterattacked and became a tyrant who unified the world.

It has to be said that Yin Tyrant explained very realistically the principle of 'not perish in silence, but perish in silence'.

"However, Tyrant Yin was able to have a good impression of me inexplicably before, and his humanity is still there, which means that the other party has not been so blackened... As long as I work hard to show my loyalty and give charcoal when the other party is weakest, I will definitely become the most powerful one in the future. A trusted minister...hugging the emperor's thigh tightly, maybe I can still make a powerful minister..."

Tang Yu thought about it while engraving the book, because of his preconceived impressions, his fear of the auxiliary object gradually disappeared.

In fact, he didn't need to be afraid at all. Although Tyrant Yin was cruel, he only targeted those who didn't listen to him. As long as he honestly hugged the opponent's thigh and stroked the opponent's hair, they would not kill him for no reason.

Yes, just do it like this, don't think about anything, just hug the helper's thigh tightly!

Carving a book is not an easy task, it is far more tiring than copying a book with a brush, Tang Yu spent most of the day in the bookstore.

At noon, the shopkeeper of the book shop also sent him meals. Although it was just simple millet porridge and pickles, it was also very good. They provided it for free, and the thickness of the porridge was relatively thick, unlike ordinary people who said it was porridge. It's better to say that the rice soup is more vivid.

The taste of millet porridge is definitely not as good as rice porridge, but Tang Yu, who has been used to this world for a few days, reluctantly accepts it.

At this moment, he feels that even if the system doesn't urge him to stay in this world for decades, he himself will work very hard to find a way to change the infrastructure and productivity here, so that he will lag behind the world.

The environment of the book shop is very quiet, bamboo slips and books are expensive, and there are few scholars, so it is impossible for the book shop to be full of people.

Therefore, in the middle of the afternoon, a person came to the book shop to ask the shopkeeper for a painting, and Tang Yu, who was sitting in the middle engraving books, could easily hear it.

"...Shopkeeper Lu, at any rate, you have to come and go, so you can ask me again. Our restaurant does not have famous calligraphy and paintings to support it, and guests with status are not willing to enter the door. Business is really difficult just relying on a few outside customers. If not, I’m afraid we’ll have to close down.”

"Liu San, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's really hard to find calligraphy and painting by celebrities. When people hear that it's a restaurant with no official background, they immediately lose their minds. Those celebrities cherish their reputation, and they don't write easily if they are not country gentlemen. I really can’t help you, and you too, you didn’t dare to take down the restaurant at the beginning, and now you’ve lost everything.”

"I didn't expect that the guy from the other side would be able to get calligraphy and paintings of celebrities. I was caught off guard, hey..."

Outside the bookshop, a middle-aged man in a cloth gown had a sad expression on his face.

After listening to a few words, Tang Yu could probably guess where the other party's difficulties and worries lie.

Due to the scarcity of scholars, scholars in this era have been highly respected like never before, and those with a little bit of knowledge are "celebrities", who are so awesome that they can go to heaven.

Therefore, if anyone can get the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, it is a symbol of status and honor. Many businessmen with connections will try their best to get a few paintings and hang them in the shop, so that many nobles and officials will be attracted to consume .

However, things are rare and expensive, and calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are hard to find, so there are not many shops, restaurants and restaurants that can hang calligraphy and paintings of celebrities.

This middle-aged man's business was robbed by his opponent because he had no way to get it, and the restaurant was facing the difficulty of closing down.

After Tang Yu heard this, his heart moved, he put down the carving knife and went out.

"Actually, the only way to attract customers is to hang calligraphy and paintings of celebrities..."

He suddenly came out to speak, and the middle-aged man and Shusi Lu shopkeeper were both stunned.

If someone else interjected like this, the two of them would definitely wave away, but Tang Yu was wearing the unique attire of a scholar. Even though he was a little young, he should not be underestimated. No matter how good or bad your knowledge is, a scholar is the honored guest here.

And unfortunately, Liu San also knew Tang Yu.

"Little Master!"

Seeing Tang Yu, Liu San reacted with surprise.

Tang Yu also smiled, with cute tiger teeth, "Uncle Liu..."
