Jian Chuan asked Su Chaer: "Shopkeeper, can a carriage be sold for three thousand guan?"
Su Cha'er said it was impossible, so Jian Chuan went into the shop, found paper and pen, drew a picture, showed it to Su Cha'er, and asked again: "Shopkeeper, can you recognize this car? If you build it, can you Worth three thousand strings?"
Su Chaer watched attentively for a long time, and saw that the strokes on the paper were simple and vivid. Although the strokes were formed in a few strokes, they were vivid and interesting. They were completely different from all the painting styles today, but they were clear and easy to understand at a glance. What shocked Su Chaer even more was the simplicity. Sichuan was so shocked by the things he painted that he murmured inexplicably: "The Great Jade Chariot was made during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty and has been used by the emperor to this day. From the Tang Dynasty to the present, Fan San has been enthroned in Mount Tai. I cannot remember the number of other patrols. I am still in perfect condition. It was as safe as a mountain, and a cup of water was placed on it without shaking. In Qingli, I tried to make a jade chariot, which was the best in the world. However, it was shaky and uneasy, so I didn't use it. In Yuanfeng, I built a jade chariot. It is extremely skillful in craftsmanship. It was displayed in the court without entering the imperial court. The chariot house became damaged and was crushed to pieces. Only the Tang chariot was used. It is stable and strong for a long time, and its method cannot be seen in the past. It is said that there are gods to protect it. If you go Behind the chariots, there is a faint sound."
Hearing this, Jian Chuan was a little surprised. What Su Cha'er said were the original words in Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan". Shen Kuo is still alive, and his "Meng Xi Bi Tan" is a niche reading in this era. Su Cha'er Tea can come out of the mouth immediately, it seems that he must be a person with great knowledge and strong memory.
"Of course, it's Da Jia Yu Chao. Is he worth three thousand guan?" Jian Chuan asked with a smile.
"Can you make a great jade chariot? Impossible. During the Qingli and Yuanfeng dynasties, many skilled craftsmen failed. How could you possibly make it? Don't think that you can just copy the gourd and draw a scoop. The ingenuity and miraculous craftsmanship inside the dajia jade chariot are beyond comparison. When it comes to claiming magical skills, don't overestimate your abilities." At this time, Su Cha'er instinctively thought that Jian Chuan was bragging and boasting, and she simply did not believe that Jian Chuan was so capable.
Little did he know that in his previous life, Jian Chuan had been yearning for the Great Jade Chariot since he read about it in "Mengxi Bi Tan", and vowed to inherit the legacy of the ancients and create the Da Jia Jade Chariot. To this end, he spent four years combing through historical materials. After searching for skilled craftsmen, when their skills were finally perfected, the Great Jade Chariot was born, which shocked the world and was hailed as Lu Ban's Life.
However, his words were unfounded, and Jian Chuan did not explain. He started writing again and sketched simple lines. One by one, the node diagram structure diagrams appeared on the paper. One after another, they soon covered the table. Then he stopped writing. Jian Chuan asked again: "Shopkeeper, do you believe it now?"
At this time, Su Cha'er had a rather complicated look on her beautiful face, and the look she was looking at Jian Chuan was even more shocking. She couldn't figure out why the dandy, arrogant and annoying Jian Chuan had become like this. .We met again after three or five years. After the initial resentment, the person in front of me suddenly became a stranger. He was elegant, calm, and dignified. It was absolutely impossible to pretend to have such a noble demeanor.
What on earth did he go through?
Su Cha'er was puzzled, and neither was Old Huangtou. The maid Luliu had never seen Jian Chuan before, and was the calmest one at this time. She couldn't see what Jian Chuan was painting at all, but through Su Cha's Cha'er judged from the look on her face that what Jian Chuan painted was remarkable, so she broke the silence: "Miss, are these paintings remarkable? Can they solve our difficulties?"
Su Chaer breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Jian Chuan complicatedly, and asked, "Why do you want to help me? I don't need your pity."
Jian Chuan sighed and said, "I'm helping you as well as me. Our master and servant have just arrived in Bianjing. All we want is a roof over our head and two meals a day. Please ask the shopkeeper to grant it."
These words deceived the maids Luliu and Lao Huangtou, but they could not deceive Su Chaer. How could she not know that with the ability Jianchuan has shown now, he will be a guest wherever he goes, and he must look like
They were providing services to him as if they were providing services to his ancestors, so he stayed simply because he wanted to help himself.
Su Chaer considered herself not a person who accepted charity from others, but at this moment, she was shaken and decided to stay with Jian Chuan. With just one thought, they were destined for life.
So, Su Chaer finally stopped questioning Jian Chuan's motive for staying, and asked the main question: "But even if you can really build a large jade chariot, it will take at least more than a month, and besides, the wood for making the jade chariot, etc.
They are all treasures, where can I get so much money?"
It is true that what Su Cha'er said is true. It would not take more than a month, not to mention two or three months, to make this big jade chariot. Therefore, Jian Chuan has never thought of making a jade chariot and selling it.
Furthermore, how could the majestic jade chariot be sold for only three thousand guan? According to Jian Chuan's estimation, it would cost at least 10,000 guan.
This price is not unreasonable; it is a price that Jian Chuan arrived at based on a rough estimate of today's price levels.
Now is the first year of Yuanyou. Although the Jingkang crisis will come a few decades later, the Northern Song Dynasty at this time has experienced the Xining Reform, the two dynasties have prospered, and the country is prosperous and the people are strong. Therefore, prices are stable and the economy is booming.
These days, a sesame seed cake costs three or four cents, inherited from Taizu, and seven hundred and seventy cents is considered a standard. One cent can buy two hundred pancakes, ten cents can buy a similar carriage, and a hundred cents can buy a small courtyard.
, A family with a thousand yuan is a small rich, and a family with a thousand yuan is a wealthy household worthy of the name.
From this calculation, 10,000 guan is naturally not a small number, but you must know that the materials used to make the jade chariot are huge, and it takes a long time. Only Jian Chuan can make it in the world. It took four hundred years for the Tang chariot to be made.
Jian Chuan was confident that what he made would definitely not be worse than the Tang Dynasty. It is said that rare things are valuable and they are unparalleled treasures. Therefore, in Jian Chuan's opinion, ten thousand guan was a bit too low. If there was no real object, it would have to be priced at least 2 yuan.
Wan Guan.
Therefore, Jian Chuan vowed: "Because we can't make it in a short time, we only charge a deposit of 3,000 guan. We will deliver it in the Mid-Autumn Festival and make up for the remaining 7,000 guan. Does the shopkeeper think it's feasible?"
The maid Luliu was the first to say it was impossible: "Who would pay 3,000 guan down payment for a legendary jade chariot? With 3,000 guan, you can buy a big house, unless your head is broken.
, otherwise who will pay?”
Jian Chuan did not comment, but looked at Su Cha'er with a smile. People have different knowledge, and their vision will naturally be different. Jian Chuan hopes that Su Cha'er's vision can match her knowledge.
Su Cha'er did not disappoint Jian Chuan, and saw him pondering for a moment, with thoughts swirling in his beautiful eyes, and finally considered: "Unless we can convince everyone that we can indeed build a jade chariot, if we can do this, ten thousand yuan will be enough."
The price is even a little low, but the difficulty is how to make the world believe it." After a pause, his beautiful eyes looked at Jian Chuan with hope: "Do you have a way?"
Hearing this, Jian Chuan nodded indifferently. He wanted to file a lawsuit, but he thought that he had just traveled through time and had no in-depth understanding of the Yuanyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty. Therefore, in order to avoid cognitive problems, he
Unnecessary details, after thinking about it, I decided to tell the truth about my plan: "I want to draw a detailed diagram of the layout and production process of all the process nodes for making the jade chariot, and put it in the downtown area for the public to observe. I want to come to Bian."
There are many great craftsmen in the capital, and there must be people who know the goods. As long as they believe it, they will have credibility. Does the shopkeeper think so?"
It was the maid Lu Liuzhuang who spoke first: "How can this be done? In this case, all the craftsmen in Bianjing City can do it. Then why should others buy from our car shop? Isn't this because I understand that I have to lose my wife?"
Discard your troops?"
Su Cha'er's eyes lit up, thinking she had seen through Jian Chuan's intentions, and said to Luliu: "You are stupid, you only need to intentionally omit a few important nodes."
Luliu suddenly sat in a daze and praised Su Chaer repeatedly for his cleverness. He didn't want Jianchuan to shake his head and said, "Oh no, I want to tell everything completely and never hide anything. Otherwise, how can I win people's trust?"
Even Su Cha'er was anxious now. Just when she was about to refute it, Jian Chuan continued: "But, shopkeeper, you can rest assured that the inside of this jade chariot is so ingenious that you won't be able to see it just by looking at it.
I tore apart all the craftsmanship of Dajia Jade Chariot and put it in front of their eyes for them to imitate. They would never be able to make it in a short time."
"Why?"
"Because this great jade chariot is made up of thousands of dexterous parts, and one part affects the whole body. When assembling, if even one part doesn't match, then all the hundreds of parts will be scrapped.
, we can only start from scratch. Therefore, even if the top craftsmen in the world follow the drawings and index, it will take at least a year to complete it. So, does the shopkeeper understand?"
Su Chaer understood, but she still felt unwilling to do so, and said, "Even if no one can build it in a short time, they still get the manufacturing plan for nothing. This is unfair. Besides, there is no way to do business."
The reason for giving it away for free?"
Jian Chuan is not surprised that Su Cha'er said this. This is a typical businessman's profit-seeking thinking, so it cannot be wrong. However, Jian Chuan is not a businessman, and he has always regarded himself as a scholar. For him, inheritance is fundamental.
In comparison, the so-called benefits are really insignificant, so he said: "I have always believed that what you learn must be taught to others, and what you earn must be given to others. Only in this way can there be inheritance and civilization can continue. This is what I
I hope the shopkeeper will fulfill my faith."
Jian Chuan's truth is simple and simple, but it seems to contain such epoch-making power that is thought-provoking. This makes Su Chaer even more unfamiliar with Jian Chuan, and more and more confused about what Jian Chuan has experienced. After thinking about it for a thousand times, he finally said:
: "It's yours, you can do with it whatever you like, why do you need me to make it happen?"
This was deemed as acquiescence, and Jian Chuan smiled and said: "In that case, thank you very much, shopkeeper. Time is tight, sooner rather than later, why not go to the shop tomorrow to start, but I don't know which street in Bianjing City is the busiest?
"
"The most lively place? Of course we have to go to the East Corner Tower." It was this girl Luliu who spoke first, and Jian Chuan was convinced. She was really a chatterbox.
But before Su Chaer could nod, she heard a childish voice: "Are you going to the East Corner Tower? When? I'm going too. Hey, who are they?"
Looking around, he saw a young man with a tiger-like head jumping in, followed by a beautiful woman holding an even more immature girl.
Su Cha'er immediately went up to the beautiful woman, took the girl from her arms, looked at the beautiful woman's red and swollen eyes, and sighed, "Are you arguing again?"
As if she were seeing a relative, the beautiful woman's eyes became even redder, and she spoke with a cry: "That heartless guy, I don't know how many twists and turns my brother went through to get him a minor position as an imperial scholar. Only then did he let him go."
Our family of three was able to stay in this beautiful city of Bianjing, but he was so ungrateful and didn't say anything. He also complained that my brother mistakenly named him. Sister, tell me why I was so blind in the first place that I married such an enemy."
Su Cha'er hurriedly comforted herself and walked out of the shop as she spoke. It looked like she was going back to the house opposite. Unexpectedly, she heard a scream of "Ouch" coming from inside the shop just a few steps away. She turned around and saw that it happened to be
Seeing Jian Chuan flying out, Lao Huang barely managed to catch him in the air. The master and servant fell heavily to the ground and rolled several times before stopping.
Su Chaer immediately roared: "Su Yun, don't be so presumptuous."
Then they saw the child named Su Yun standing on the threshold with his arms folded, and he was also very angry: "I said before that I would vent my anger on my sister's behalf, so I'll let it go if I can't see you. This bastard dares to come here and ask for a beating."
General Jian Chuan stood up, feeling that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart, but he still had a look of disbelief on his face. Oh my goodness, what happened just now? More than a hundred kilograms of his flesh was actually raped by a six-year-old child.
He picked it up like a puppy and threw it out. They said the ancients were very powerful, but it can't be so outrageous, right? This child is only six years old?
Then they saw Su Cha'er hurried over and asked urgently: "Are you okay?"
Jian Chuan grimaced in pain. Thanks to Lao Huang's catch, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones. When he saw the child coming over, he quickly and subconsciously hid behind Su Cha'er. The child saw this subconscious move and immediately made fun of him.
He said: "A grown man is hiding behind a woman. If you want to be shameless, come over if you dare. I'll see if I don't beat you to death."
Su Yun prepared to hit people again, but Su Cha'er grabbed his ears and scolded: "How many times have I told you that you are very strong and you must not hit people? Have you turned a deaf ear to it all?
?”
"Sister, I'm venting your anger." Su Yun grinned in pain. With his strength, it was easy to break free, but he let Su Cha'er pinch his ears, trying to push Su Cha'er away.
It doesn't mean anything either.
Seeing this, Jian Chuan couldn't help but sigh: "What a sensible child." Then he remembered the fall just now and took two steps back involuntarily.
"If you know you were wrong, apologize to others quickly."
"Apologise to him, don't even think about it." Su Yun was stubborn, but when Su Cha'er exerted another force on his hand, he was immediately defeated and kept saying: "I was wrong, I was wrong, I'm sorry, okay."
"Humph, that's pretty much it. Let's take your sister Qingzhao to play. Don't go too far. We'll have dinner later."
Only then did Su Chaer let go of her hand. Su Yun, as if she had received an amnesty, hurriedly picked up the girl and ran away. Before leaving, he looked at Jian Chuan fiercely, making Jian Chuan shrink back in fright. At the same time, a sudden thought occurred in his heart.
When Sheng asked, he thought it couldn't be such a coincidence, but he still asked for confirmation: "Shopkeeper, is that girl's name Qingzhao? What's her surname? She can't be surnamed Li, right?"
"How do you know her surname is Li?" Su Chaer said hesitantly.
But Jian Chuan suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and after a while he murmured: "You guessed it."
This reason really didn't make sense, but there was a beautiful woman over there waiting for relief. Su Chaer put away her questions, left a few words and left: "You guys just rest in the shop, I'll let Luliu eat for dinner."
Send it."
Hearing this, Jian Chuan nodded subconsciously, still astonished in his heart, and looked blankly at the two children who ran to the backyard to play. They were both literary and martial, so they were extremely talented.
Su Yun is amazing, and Li Qingzhao is the most talented woman in the history. It's a pity that she is only three or four years old now. If you want to see her unparalleled glory, you have to wait for a few more years or more.
At this time, Old Huangtou came up and said to Jian Chuan with some embarrassment: "Sir, I want to take on a disciple. Is it possible?"
Hearing this, Jian Chuan was stunned, turned to look at Old Huangtou, and asked doubtfully: "Accept a disciple? Who to accept? What to teach?"
After asking three times in a row, Jian Chuan himself was confused. In the impression of the original owner, Old Huangtou had been a slave in the Jian family for as long as he could remember. Apart from being loyal and honest, he really had nothing worthy of praise.
place.
But he saw Old Huangtou staring straight at Su Yun playing in the distance, smiling from the corner of his eyes, and said: "Old slave has a set of marksmanship. I originally wanted to bring it into the coffin, but after listening to the young master today, I feel that it is very good."
The truth is, isn't it? What you have learned must be taught to others. If such a good set of marksmanship were to be destroyed by oneself, wouldn't the old slave become a sinner through the ages? So, the old slave wanted to find a child with high talent.
Let’s pass some skills on, and luckily, this kid is extremely talented, so he’s a perfect fit.”
"You know how to shoot? Why didn't I know?"
"The old slave knows it, doesn't the young master know? Oh, that's right, when the old slave was seriously injured and saved by the master, the master was still young, so he didn't remember."
Such a light sentence is an explanation? Is this young master so easy to fool? Jian Chuan obviously didn't believe it, but he still couldn't help but ask: "How is your spear skill?"
Old Huang grinned, showing his big yellow teeth. He still looked honest and honest, but Jian Chuan really felt that this smile was a bit arrogant. Old Huang said, "It should be pretty good."
"Not bad? What level is this? Why don't you try it again and let me see." Jian Chuan smiled.
"Okay."
Old Huangtou didn't shirk, he walked to the corner confidently, picked up a wooden stick, and stabbed it twice, and then nothing happened.
Jian Chuan was stunned, and so was Lao Huang.
Jian Chuan asked: "No more?"
Lao Huang replied: "Oh, yes, but I forgot."
"You're kidding me." With these words, Jian Chuan entered the shop without looking back. After a while, he walked out again, holding a planer in his hand and walking towards the willow tree not far away, minding his own business.
Prepare to get some charcoal pencils, which is not difficult for him.
And Lao Huang walked firmly towards the two children who were playing...
