These are all copper coins!
Thinking about what the little eunuch stole, it was really hard to use as a napkin, but this thing actually cost five dollars a knife!
But then again, compared to silk, five guans seems to be nothing.
There's just one thing. The method of making this thing is really simple. After you understand the principle and experiment a few times, you can basically make it.
This requires someone who can keep secrets to help him run this workshop.
As for the workers who were working, Liu Deng even thought about it. Among the death row prisoners in the prison, are there any better coolies than these?
It kills two birds with one stone and saves those guys who are too full to do anything and cause trouble in the prison.
Letting them do some work for you can be considered a waste utilization. Of course, this kind of wealth only lasts a few years.
However, if you can hold on for a day, then count it as a day. When you have some money, you will naturally have other businesses to do. Why do you have to compete with those country bumpkins for food?
Liu Deng was whistling and drawing at the same time. What he didn't expect was that the two carpenters started working very quickly.
The simplest Eight Immortals table, plus two desks and a few chairs, were all completed before noon.
"Yes, yes, the craftsmanship is good. Give me a reward. Each person will receive ten copper coins. In addition, you should take a look at this thing first!"
Liu Deng said, showing them his newly made drawings.
In fact, there is nothing new. The simplest water turbine needs to be driven by feet. Then, the water turbine is used to drive a chain, and finally through gear transmission, it drives water hammer to complete the crushing of materials.
A complete set of machines, this is the result of Liu Deng's hard thinking.
Of course, if left in future generations, I'm afraid it will be sprayed into a sieve. Not only will it be seriously polluted, but it will also be extremely inefficient.
But Liu Deng can guarantee that the paper produced by this thing is definitely much better than the papyrus produced by Wu State.
"Your Majesty, it may take some time for the two of us to make this. Can you find more people to help?"
After making the tables and chairs and receiving the reward, both of them were very happy and their confidence increased greatly.
At the very least, he was a lot more forceful when he spoke. There is strength in numbers, and Liu Deng certainly understood this kind of thing.
"You guys need to study first, find him what kind of manpower you need, make a prototype first, and then we will study the next step!"
Liu Deng thought for a while and then said.
For things like papermaking workshops, the first thing needed is a lot of water, and the second thing needed is a lot of manpower. Fortunately, these two points are not a problem for Liu Deng.
As for the venue, it is even simpler. As long as it is within the territory of Dai, except for the one or two royal villas, where do you want to open the rest? Isn’t that just a matter of Liu Deng’s words?
Just when Liu Deng was about to try out the new tables and chairs, suddenly, the Taifu rushed in in a hurry.
"Why are you so anxious, Master Taifu?"
Seeing the burning look on his butt, Liu Deng was also curious for a while, what happened to this old guy?
"Your Majesty, because you disappeared some time ago, the imperial court specially sent an envoy to inquire. Do you think we should send someone out of the city to greet you?"
"Who is the messenger who came?"
Liu Deng asked casually.
"This person is Chao Cuo, the prince's family minister!"
Originally, Zhang Tu wanted to send someone directly out of the city to greet him, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly wanted to hear the opinion of his great king.
"Who? Chao Cuo!"
Liu Deng almost jumped when he heard the name.
I
This was a ruthless man. Although Emperor Han Jing's teacher, the next emperor's master, died in the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, it was precisely because of Chao Cuo's death that Emperor Han Jing hated the seven vassal kings.
"Prepare your carriages and horses, and I will go out to greet you personally!"
This was a good opportunity. Although Liu Deng's history was not good, for some reason, he found that his mind suddenly seemed to be much clearer since time travel.
It was like I had an enlightenment, and I could remember clearly even the time I wet the bed when I was a child.
The history of the Han Dynasty, especially before and after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion, was covered in lengthy history books, so he naturally remembered it clearly.
It is now the second year of Hou Yuan Dynasty. According to historical records, the current Emperor Wen will not live for a few more years.
After Emperor Jing came to power, the first thing he did was to cut down the vassals, which then triggered the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.
Of course, all the seven vassal kings failed in the end, and Liu Deng did not want to join them. If this was the case, then he needed to have a good relationship with the future emperor.
I'm worried that there are no opportunities. Isn't this a ready-made candidate coming to my door?
If you want to prosper in the Han Dynasty, of course you must embrace the emperor's lap.
Although Dai State can be regarded as a vassal state, it is adjacent to the Huns to the north and will be harassed by them at every turn. Life is really miserable.
At this time, it's a good time to cry about poverty, and maybe get some support from the emperor.
"Come here, put all these away for me, and send an order. All the jades, gold, bronzes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the palace should be locked up for me! From today on, no one is allowed to appear on the banquet. Meat!"
Liu Deng thought for a while and then began to give instructions.
Emperor Wen is a good man. After all, he is also his cheap grandfather. This grandson is living in such a miserable life, so the grandfather must support him, right?
Although he advocates frugality, frugality does not mean having no money!
Instead of using it all for fighting later on, why not support your cheap grandson first!
"Your Majesty, this is a bit too much... If there is no meat, how can you drink this wine?"
Zhang Tu felt a little embarrassed. Just pretend to be poor. There are not even two pieces of meat on the banquet prepared. How can you be so poor?
"Yes, send someone to the market immediately, buy me the worst wine, and then give me half of the water. When the messenger arrives later, all the good wine will not be served!"
Now it's perfect!
Liu Deng was extremely satisfied. As soon as he went out, he saw his super luxurious carriage.
"Come here, hide all the good horses in the palace for me in other courtyards. All the soldiers will ride on my horses. Get this carriage away from me and get me an ox-cart!"
Details, details matter!
"Your Majesty, you have lost the demeanor of a lord and king. This carriage is indispensable!"
All the officials waiting outside the palace were foaming at the mouth. What is this kid so crazy about today?
If he really goes out like this, the entire Dai Kingdom will be embarrassed by him.
Everyone looked at Zhang Tu eagerly, asking him to come out and say something. After all, he was a master!
"Master Taifu, let's take a step to talk!"
Just when Zhang Tu was about to speak, Liu Deng pulled the old man aside and whispered a few words in his ear. The old man's eyes slowly lit up. It turned out that this could still be the case!
"You guys, go put some more patches on the ceremonial guard and remove half of the copper nails on the door! All the ministers, please go home and put me into the oldest official uniform. Give me at least three big patches on every official uniform!"
Zhang Tu suddenly shouted, and all the officials started to curse.
What the hell is going on?
Did this old guy take the wrong medicine today?
Are you going crazy with the king?
