Ancient Fortune Records

Shen Li touched the vest made of fox fur and the cloak on his body with complicated emotions.This was specially sent by Wen Bohe, the fox was also caught in the woods by his servant, and he invited a famous garment maker in the capital to make a new style.It was one of the gifts that Wen Bohe brought to him.

"Why are your clothes so...simple?"

Shen Li said helplessly: "It's not that I don't have money to buy, but I feel that I have enough clothes." He is not like the son of a prince, who can change clothes every day without repeating the clothes.Shen Li is still the same as in modern times. He buys three or four sets of clothes every season. He does not choose expensive ones, but only chooses comfortable ones, and the styles are simple.

Wen Wei was surprised: "Such a small amount of clothes is enough. Look at Bai He's clothes, they are more than mine." He also changed two clothes a day, as stinky as the peacock raised by her father.

Shen Li smiled and said: "Your clothes are good, but it is very troublesome to wear them. You have to tie them back and forth. Today I will take you to see the new zipper woolen coats and down jackets that Yanhui County released yesterday. Although the style is simple , but in terms of convenience, warmth, and low price, there is nothing better than these.”

Wen Bohe asked curiously, "What is a zipper?"

Shen Li smiled without saying a word, a good thing like a zipper can only be understood after seeing it.There are many things that can use zippers, such as suitcases, backpacks, and tents.In ancient times, when people went out to bring things, they had to carry a big bamboo basket on their backs, and there were parcels tied in front of them. In short, there were not many things in them, and they were very heavy, and the burdens were easy to fall apart.It’s different with a zipper. Make a thick linen backpack with a zipper, which is lighter than a bamboo basket and safer than a bag.The suitcase is also very practical, with four wheels installed, mothers no longer have to worry about their children's travel...

Shen Li went to the new-style clothing workshop he built, and took a zippered sack casually.

"This is a closed zipper. The rear end is fixed and can only be opened from the front end. This kind of zipper can be used to make a sealed sack to prevent things from falling out easily. When the Jokhang Army marches, it should be used to pack luggage like this. It's easier." It's definitely faster to pull the zipper than to tie it with rope.

"This is an open zipper. There is no back code at the lower end of the tooth chain, but a locking piece is set. When the locking piece is locked, it is equivalent to a closed zipper. Pull the slider against the locking piece to separate the locking piece. It can be separated and is suitable for clothing." Just like the zipper set on a modern down jacket or coat, you can open it if you want to open it, and close it if you want to close it.

Considering the conservatism of many women in ancient times, Shen Li made women's down jackets and coats a bit long, with the style of traditional Jozhao clothing, with fake buttons on the outside, and the zippers were covered by things like fake buttons. There is no such thing as a zipper inside.

Shen Li may have some aesthetics, but he is not as good as those embroiderers and dressmakers.So Shen Li asked someone to make the simplest set, and then the other embroiderers and garment masters could do the same.

Wen Wei happily picked up a bag that Shen Li modeled on modern women's net red handbags, and quickly carried it on her back.Wen Bohe, on the other hand, was not interested in gorgeous ladies' bags. After browsing through the things made by Shen Li, he guessed the purpose of these new products that used zippers.

Seeing Wen Wei excitedly picking out bags, Wen Bohe was even more amazed at Shen Li's ability to make money.These high-priced bags are probably sold to noble ladies, and those that are cheap and practical are probably sold to ordinary people for daily use.

Wen Bohe suddenly felt that there was something extra on his back, and when he looked back, he saw that Shen Li was about to carry a mountaineering bag on his back.

"This mountaineering bag is very strong. I made it out of cowhide and gave it to you. If you think it's useful, I'll contract you all the backpacks you've used in your life!" Shen Lihao said angrily.

Wen Bohe's eyes widened in a smile, which is rare for him.Shen Li has a magical ability that will always make him happy, even if it's just a simple sentence or a glance.

Wen Wei couldn't understand how the two men were greasy and crooked, who were confidants and colleagues, making people look sticky.But maybe it's because these two people have good looks, she even thinks that when her brother and Shen Li stand together, they look very harmonious.She regretted why Shen Li was not a woman. If she was a woman, they got along so well, it would be better to ask her father to marry her.

Shen Li looked at the princess suspiciously. He saw a strange light in the princess' eyes just now, as if he was expecting something.But maybe he was wrong. After all, he and the prince are here, and the princess can directly ask for any request.

By the time the princess returned to Beijing with the new farm tools and clothes made by Shen Li, it was already snowing in Yanhui County.

Shen Li was happily drinking a bowl of mutton soup in the steaming mutton restaurant. In front of him were a group of Tubo businessmen wearing bamboo hats to protect themselves from the snow.

"Wool, we collect here. I want as much as you have. If you don't have any, you can offset it with mature yaks or sheep. The price is up to you. Everyone is a businessman, so we need to be honest." The people around are doing business, so they have to speak more openly, otherwise they will be highly wary, not to mention that they can't do business, and they will even form hatred.

These people have some influence in the northwest border of Tubo and Dazhao. If Shen Li can make friends with them, it will not be a dream to open up business routes between Yanhui County and the southwest border and beyond.

The cashmere on the Tubo side is very good, it is the layer of down that is closest to the skin of the long-wool sheep.The Tibetans themselves also like clothes made of cashmere.However, Shen Li was still envious of Tubo's iron-smelting technology. Although Dazhao's iron-smelting technology was relatively mature, it was still not at the same level as Tubo's iron-smelting technology.This nation relied on iron smelting technology, manufacturing weapons, and robbery to make a fortune.

All the vendors in front of Shen Li had seen blood.Even children who are only ten years old in the team are probably no exception.

Dazhao and Tubo had a marriage relationship, and it was only five years since the last princess married Tubo, and it was the diplomatic honeymoon period between Dazhao and Tubo.Shen Li was not worried that the Tubo people would harm him, and traveled all the way to Yanhui County to find him to do business, and this made most of Shen Li's guard down.

The leader of the Tubo caravan is Chinu Khan. He has a festive plateau red on his face and a beard. He looks a little rough.Across plateaus, mountains and rivers, and across rivers, he just wanted to do long-term business with Shen Li.They have cattle and sheep in Tibet, but the selling price does not satisfy them.The rich and powerful in Tubo paid too high taxes, and traders had to open up their own markets and strive to earn more money.Seeing Shen Li selling woolen sweaters now, the sweaters are selling so well, they also want to learn technology.

Shen Li did not intend to embarrass them, but woolen sweaters and sweaters are things he can't let go of at the moment. Therefore, Shen Li proposed to conduct wool trading with Tubo first, which lasted for a year, and then waited for both parties to establish trust before proceeding. Talk about further exchanging prescriptions.

They are greedy for Shen Li's method of making woolen sweaters and sweaters, and Shen Li is also greedy for their high-quality cattle and sheep, and iron smelting technology.

Cooperate with each other to achieve a win-win situation. If the business road can be opened up, it will support tens of thousands of people along the road.Not to mention the people of Tubo and Yinzhou.

These days, the timid and the bold are starved to death. As long as someone takes the lead, countless foreign nationalities will risk their lives and come to Dazhao to do business.And the people of Jokhang would also go to the market outside the pass to do business.

Take Yanhui County as an example. In the past, the people outside the Northwest Pass were always afraid that Shen Li would impose a restraint policy on them, and would arrest them and come to Dazhao to do hard work, suppressing the price of their mutton.Unexpectedly, when the market in Yanhui County gradually improved, they planned to send the mutton and wool here by themselves.If nothing else, it is profitable and can make people give up their prejudices.

Moreover, as Yanhui County became more and more prosperous, more and more outsiders were willing to sneak across the border to survive in Yanhui County.The men not only marry into marriage, but also pretend that they are the aborigines of the black family in Jokhang.The officials of Dazhao came to collect the tax, and they handed it in decently...

Shen Li said to his subordinates: "...don't stop them, just come if you want, give them their household registration, and they will be regarded as members of Dazhao in the future."

As for women, many women outside the customs are willing to work in wool and cashmere mills.Because they are already familiar with how to deal with wool, the dirty and tangled wool is docile in their hands.It is very troublesome to deal with wool, but the county magistrate pays a lot of wages!They haven't earned so much money in more than ten years, and now they only need to work in the wool workshop for a few months, and they will soon be able to live well in Dazhao.Some women even set up women's households, ready to recruit husbands.

For a while, the population of Yanhui County was increasing like this.Shen Laiqiu looked at the household registration and lamented how powerful his son was.This coming year's tax revenue will likely quadruple.

"Why isn't your zipper mass-produced?"

Shen Li was also very helpless: "It's not that I don't want to make it, but that there is not enough copper that can be used to make zippers. Iron is harder than copper, and it is difficult to make fine zippers."

There is no way, the level of productivity in this era is low, and many ideas cannot be put into practice.Copper is also a precious metal in Jokhang. It's not that Shen Li doesn't want to use copper for zippers, but that if the zippers are made of copper, the price will be much higher.Rich people don't need zippers, and poor people can't afford things with zippers, so it's useless to make zippers.

Shen Laiqiu suggested: "Can we use wood instead?"

Shen Li thought for a while, "If the wood is harder, it should be fine."

Shen Laiqiu suddenly said: "Use iron birch trees! There are many of them in Youzhou. Last time, Beishang and I boasted about this kind of tree. It is invulnerable and very suitable for shields."

Shen Li nodded, ancient metals are valuable, and it is normal to use wood as a shield.

However, Shen Li still needs to find one or two iron birch trees to test. If the iron birch trees are really so hard, then the bicycle chain can be improved and the price can be cheaper.

Scooters are now quite common in Yanhui County. There are at least four scooters in a village. Scooters are not a luxury item. As long as you are willing to add some convenience to your work, you will be willing to buy one for home use.

"This year's New Year's goods, relying on the cart can pull a lot!"

"Haha! You made a lot of money this year by using a cart to pull New Year's goods! It's not as rich as in previous years!"

The man also smiled: "In the past, I was too lazy to be like a hibernating bear. It is God's blessing that no one in my family starved to death! My daughter, she still doesn't want to see me. Why don't you buy more to make them happy?"

Woman is the name for the wife and daughter of the family. Guilt flashed in the eyes of this man. Looking at the copper coins in his pocket, he felt that it didn't matter if he didn't entertain him. In the future, there will be opportunities to make the women in the family live well. As long as they live well, after all I'll see myself the day after tomorrow.

"Hey, why didn't magistrate Shen come here sooner. Look at the men in Yanhui County, all of them are like being rebuilt now."

"Well, I heard that the county magistrate will organize military training again in the coming year, and everyone who turns [-] has to come. I don't know if it's true or not."

The man didn't answer, whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter.Everyone will obey what Magistrate Shen said now.People's hearts are long, and of course we must be grateful when we meet such a county magistrate who thinks about them.Thanks to the county magistrate, don't say anything else, at least listen to what the county magistrate says.

Shen Li really felt that Yanhui County had fewer thorns. Although there were ruffians on the street, he nodded and bowed when he saw him, and he was no longer as rampant as before.They also mocked Shen Li rudely at Shen Li as a young boy, but they were all punished by their elders to kneel down in the ancestral hall.

If so, Shen Li also asked the yamen servant to watch them run around Yanhui County every day.When they saw Shen Li now, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

You can't suffer alone, they even tricked the gangsters from the next county to scold Shen Li, and they felt angry when they heard it, and then sent these gangsters from other counties to participate in military training, and made meritorious deeds.

The gangsters from the next county: ...

But now, they respect Shen Li from the bottom of their hearts, wishing they could slap themselves, the jerk they used to be.
