Li Shen did not go to bed after returning to the palace. There are no entertainment projects in this era, so I go to bed early. Li Shen has not adapted to the time travel for a year. Call a maid to change his clothes and wash him. As a prince, even if he is not taken seriously, he still has someone to attend to him.
He has three maids. One is Lan Yu'er, twenty years old. He was brought in by his mother when she entered the palace, and she is one of his own.
After Li Shen was born, he was sent here to take care of Li Shen. In fact, he was looking after Li Shen. You must know that ancient inner palace battles were bloody, and there was no such thing as harming innocent people.
For that position, he would do anything crazy, and there was no prince who had not seen the sun for a few days.
There are also two little maids, Dongmei Chunxiang, who are about ten years old and take care of Li Shen's daily life. Women in ancient times matured precociously, and after being educated, they had no problem taking care of a six or seven-year-old child.
He also has a little follower named Shitou, who is also ten years old. He is an orphan and has followed Li Shen since he entered the palace. He is smart and responsible for accompanying him to study.
In fact, it was just to find him a playmate. After all, the princes and princesses in the palace rarely interacted with each other except for their mother.
"Go and light another candle and put it on the table, Shitou. It's too dark." Li Shen ordered Shitou after washing up.
"It's Your Highness." Shitou quickly went to light the candle.
Li Shen knelt down in front of the case, and Dong Mei came over to study the ink. Li Shen picked up the pen and began to think deeply. Recently, he has been thinking about his future path. Should he go to the fiefdom or stay in Chang'an?
The most basic thing for him to live the life he wants is to have money. Wealth is the pillar that supports a good life. With his small salary, he can only be considered well-off. In this case, staying in Chang'an is the best choice.
Just like the opportunities for making money in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen will definitely be more than those in small counties in later generations, especially Li Shen who has the knowledge and knowledge of later generations.
King Xian's leisure is not that simple, and many wealthy people in later generations have not achieved it. Idleness does not mean doing nothing. That is not an idle person, but a useless person. Li Shen believes that leisure means having financial freedom and being able to buy whatever you want. Be unrestrained in your rights and do whatever you want.
So there are only two things Li Shen needs to do now, one is to make money, and the other is to find a way to get into Li Shimin's sight and stay in Chang'an.
In order to make money, in his spare time, he wrote down some things he could remember from his previous life, such as the manufacturing methods of some daily necessities he saw on Kuaishou Douyin.
For example, Li Shen wrote down the drawings or methods for some convenient items that appeared in later generations that were easy to make. Although they were not necessarily correct, he had a general direction and could definitely be made as long as he had enough manpower and material resources.
Of course, the things he knew were also simple and commonly used by later generations.
Otherwise, even if you knew the principle of an atomic bomb and how much manpower and material resources had been invested in this era, you still wouldn't be able to build one.
Of course, you won't be able to make one in the future, and you can't see the detailed information on how to make an atomic bomb in the short video, so Li Shen recorded some simple and easy-to-make things in daily life.
"Your Highness, what are you drawing today?" Xiao Shitou asked curiously as he stood nearby.
During this period, Li Shen often recorded things. Little Shitou curiously asked Li Shen what he drew, and Li Shen would say "baby" every time.
"Stone, what do you want most?"
Li Shen thought for a long time but couldn't think of anything else that hadn't been recorded, so he raised his head and asked Xiao Shitou
"Your Highness, I just hope that I won't go hungry and that I can have a full stomach every day." Xiao Shitou replied. He was an orphan, and he joined the palace as a eunuch just so he could have enough food to eat.
Li Shen smiled, then turned to the maid Dongmei and asked, "Dongmei, what do you think?"
Dongmei thought for a while and replied seriously, "Your Highness, I hope that you can be healthy and serve Your Highness all the time."
"Ouch! You girl is quite good at talking. I am very happy when you say that, and my love for you is not in vain. Yes, the most important thing for a person is health." Li Shen looked at Dongmei and said.
While talking, Li Shen felt his legs were a little numb, so he got up and moved around. Suddenly something seemed to come to mind. Go to the bookshelf and take out a square iron box from the lowest compartment.
There was a big lock on it and placed it on the case. I took out the key and opened the lock. Inside was a thick stack of paper with writings and drawings on it. These were all recorded by Li Shen during this period. After rummaging inside for a while, I found a drawing.
Hehe smiled and said in his heart, "Dongmei is right, health is very important. I have to grow up healthily and vigorously without leaving any roots of disease." Thinking of this, Li Shen moved his calf again.
The drawing Li Shen took was actually not something profound, it was just a bench for future generations. In the past, Li Shen rarely sat down on his knees and didn't feel any discomfort.
But since he went to the Imperial Academy and sat on his knees all day long, Li Shen couldn't stand it anymore. Li Shen felt that it was time for him to grow taller. If he continued like this, wouldn't he become bow-legged? Just like childhood, it affects beauty, so Dongmei's words just reminded Li Shen.
I looked at the drawing in my hand. It showed a large boss table and boss chair. These are all drawn based on memories from previous lives. The table is 3 meters long, 1.2 meters wide and 10 centimeters thick. The chair is 0.8 meters wide and the chair back is 1.6 meters high. The chair back has a moderate curvature. The top and armrests on both sides can be carved with dragons and phoenixes. Of course, Li Shen himself can't do it and doesn't dare to. The overall atmosphere is very high-end.
If I had bought a set in my previous life, even an ordinary one would have cost several thousand yuan. Li Shen’s dream is to make a set using Hainan Huanghuali. But I don’t know if there is any tribute coming at this time.
After Li Shen thought for a moment, he picked up the pen and planned to draw a set of simple office desks and chairs to put in his place for reading or recording things. There are tables and chairs for all other uses.
There are many books on Li Shen's bookshelf, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, Spring and Autumn, Filial Piety, and Mingsuan. There are also some medical books, miscellaneous talks, and even unofficial legends.
Many of these books were collected outside the palace by his mother and sent to the palace by the Wei clan. The reason why I have so many books is so that I can have an excuse when I suddenly come up with something in the future.
Li Shen finished drawing a few pieces of paper in a short time. After looking at it himself, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. I'm going to make it tomorrow and see how it goes. But suddenly I realized that I didn’t know how to do carpentry and didn’t have the materials.
"Yu'er, do you know where in the palace you can do carpentry work?" Lan Yu'er should know this after being in the palace for a long time.
"Back to Your Highness, the Secretary's Office is responsible for making furniture for the harem and concubines," Lan Yu'er answered without thinking. After all, she has been in the palace for many years and is familiar with these things.
"Oh, then I'll go to the production room tomorrow and make the things to see the effect." Li Shen said after hearing this. You have to do it as soon as possible for your own health and development.
"Your Highness, it's late at night and you should go to bed early. Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that she would go to the garden tomorrow? It would be bad if she got up late tomorrow." As the maid sent by Imperial Concubine Wei to Li Shen to take care of Li Shen. Lan Yuer always keeps her responsibilities in mind. Remind Li Shen of every important thing.
"Hey! Okay. Let's go to bed then." Li Shen was helpless because there was no entertainment program. It was dark and he had no choice but to go to bed and count sheep.
Lan Yuer and others also exited Li Shen's room, but Dongmei had to wait until Li Shen went to bed and blew out the candles before going out, because she was on night watch tonight.
According to the rules of the palace, when the noble is sleeping, there must be someone on duty at night, ready to serve the noble at any time.
And Li Shen was lying on the bed, counting sheep silently, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
