When he realized that the number "thousands of guan" appeared in his mind, for a moment Li Er, Wei Zheng, and even company commander Empress Sun showed a little confusion on their eyebrows - several thousand guan... this number would
It's not a bit exaggerated.
The Tang Dynasty doesn't seem to be that rich... The price is still a bit high. Considering the function of this "camera", it shouldn't be so expensive... But if you think about it carefully, the rich people are paying for this thing anyway.
It's not that big of a deal either.
After thinking about it this way, this matter does not seem so strange. It is all natural. Everyone understood it, and asked Li Shengpan when the finished camera would be available, so that everyone could play with it first...
In response to everyone's appeal, Li Sheng smiled and said nothing. I don't know how long it will take to get the finished product of this thing. If nothing else, let's talk about the exposure. In order to get it right, you need magnesium powder. This thing is useless.
There is no doubt that it can only be obtained by electrolysis... As for how to obtain electricity, and how to control the voltage and current to the correct range-to electrolyze the magnesium-containing solution smoothly, it is a big job with an unknown amount of work.
But this didn't matter to Li Sheng. Anyway, he just wanted to divert the topic away from everyone's attention and avoid focusing on strange and unpleasant things.
After this nonsense about the camera, Li Sheng gradually felt relieved, although... he was no longer a child, he was a good young man, and he was not afraid of abducting people - besides, it was impossible for Old Li to really treat him as a "
"Humans" are abducted and sold, such as being given to wealthy families as adopted sons to inherit the family business. This is a weird plot...
But it is inappropriate to receive too much attention. After all, this is Changan.
Although I didn’t see Li Jiro, the treasured emperor of the Tang Dynasty, doing anything for me on the way back, after all, in matters like politics, prudence is the basic quality... Thickness is also called "prudence". In layman's terms, it means asking you to speak.
When doing things, be careful.
It's good that the topic has been brought up now, after all...if it was before, it wouldn't have mattered.
But recently.
Li Sheng suddenly realized one thing: Lao Li and Lao Wei's group of people had too many connections.
Of course, Li Sheng could understand this. After all, this was an agricultural society. Although the profession of merchants was not popular, it still required capital.
It is true that the kind of salesman who runs a small business is a hard worker, but Lao Li and others are obviously not that category. Instead, they have certain assets, and no matter how big the assets are, it should be said that they are relatively rare. Again...
In an agricultural society, there are not many rich people. In many cases, only one richest family in a county will have some assets, such as Gao Laozhuang... And the status of Lao Li and others in Chang'an certainly cannot be
The level of Gao Laozhuang——
Gaolaozhuang in Chang'an is like a forbidden palace.
But you can be sure that there is probably some origin, otherwise...
How is it possible to know those many high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty? What about Li Ji, Li Xiaogong... these are all the top military elites of the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, the more Li Sheng thought about Lao Li and others, the more he felt that most of these guys really had a certain clan background, otherwise this path would not be so broad.
And since this is the case, it is indeed inappropriate for Lao Li and others to pay too much attention to him.
Of course, ordinary high attention is okay, after all, we have known each other for a long time, but you still have to be careful with extra special attention.
However, since we were talking about consumerism and business, the expected success attracted the attention of Lao Li and others, so that was the end of the matter. It would be unwise to say more.
After drinking this meal, Li Sheng himself became much calmer. Although he didn't know why, His Majesty the Emperor, at least at this stage, didn't seem to intend to do anything to him, and nothing special happened, so Li Sheng just
Taking things easy, he began to follow His Majesty's edict and began to train the imperial guards of Jinwu. At the same time, he organized a sports meeting for the scholars of Chang'an.
This made Li Sheng feel very good. The scholars petitioned for a sports meeting. Although this was the first time in history - after all, in addition to dangerous actions such as riding and shooting, non-dangerous "sports" have officially entered the lives of the Chinese people.
It's just a matter of this period of time, but it is obvious that... these sports games will sooner or later develop into a grand event similar to the Olympic Games.
Thinking of this, Li Sheng felt that maybe he could apply to become a cadre of the Olympic Committee or something, so as to avoid completely resigning and being forced by others to gain fame, complain against the court, and other such words; on the other hand,
They will not be suspected by the emperor. After all, the Olympic Committee cadres may also be established in the future, but there is no doubt that they are already civilian figures outside the core military, political and economic system - isn't this beautiful? It is a perfect ending.
Of course, Li Sheng also had to think about the feasibility of this matter. After all, the Tang Dynasty... still had foreign invasions.
Even if he intends to withdraw from the core military, political and economic system, the emperor has a tacit understanding, but if the foreign invasion becomes more serious, it may be necessary to force him back when the court is short of manpower, which will be troublesome.
Therefore, Li Sheng naturally had to think about how to use various means to ensure that he would not be repeatedly noticed...such as using Lao Li's connections.
Based on my observation and thinking during this period, Lao Li's paths in Chang'an are indeed broad enough and can really be exploited.
and……
While Li Sheng was thinking about how to make himself invisible in the sight of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, on the other side, Li Er and others were studying hard on another matter.
This day... it was exactly one month and two months after Li Sheng left Saint Maiden Port for Qiongzhou Island, and then came to Chang'an, nearly two months.
On Li Er's side, everything was fine.
The Tang Dynasty is currently rich and prosperous. Although the car that was promised has not been developed yet, and Rome is still powerful due to foreign invasion, and... this guy has great ambitions, and is definitely a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty. But no matter what,
The Tang Dynasty is still developing upward as a whole, and there are no major structural problems. What's more, it is also opening up new maritime fortresses and ports in the Panyu area.
This is a prosperous scene no matter how you look at it, but something has gone wrong recently. Not to mention the Panyu area, due to the booming sales of music boxes everywhere, the Panyu area that originally had financial problems has gradually become richer, but recently
But for some unknown reason, he sent the Imperial Guard there - which logically would benefit the local people - but was met with strong opposition from the local people.
And this opponent was no one else, but the local craftsmen who followed Li Sheng to open up ports and cities... no, the craftsmen who opened up cities!
