Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 7 Tables and Chairs
after eating. Li Shimin also went to work. It's good to have half a day off. Everyone also returned to the palace. Li Shen followed Concubine Wei and Li Mengjiang back to Daji Hall. Go into the front room and sit down. Concubine Wei said: "Shen'er, what you did today is very risky. If the method you read in some book does not work, do you know what the consequences will be."
"Concubine, what you said is true. The child will not be able to do it next time. I just want the child to watch Concubine Yan die, and the child cannot bear it." Li Shen said
"Hey~~~, Shen'er, I know you are kind-hearted. But you have to be careful at all times in this palace. Everyone in this palace is vying for favor, in order to gain status and gain benefits. I work conscientiously in the palace and abide by Duty. I'm just afraid of causing some trouble and ruining your future. I can't get out in this life. But you can. Mother hopes you live well." Concubine Wei sighed and said. There is still some sadness.
"Mother and concubine, don't worry. When the child develops well in the fiefdom, you will have made a great contribution. Aye will also be kind to you." Li Shen could only console him.
In fact, Li Shen was also a little sad. We are about to leave the fiefdom. At that time, you may not be able to see your biological mother for more than ten years, or even decades. It is indeed a bit unacceptable for a modern person like him.
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. You have to think twice before you act in the future. Although I am in the palace, I still know some things. It is not peaceful outside. It is also difficult for you Aye. Many policies are opposed. And I heard from your uncle that you, Aye, have been very fond of the King of Wei in recent years. The King of Wei may have had thoughts that he shouldn’t have. You must stay away from the whirlpool of competition for the throne in the future. The competition for the throne has been bloody in all dynasties. Yes. Not many of them have a good ending. You know?" Concubine Wei reminded Li Shen.
"I understand, concubine. If there is nothing else to do, concubine, I will leave first. I won't disturb your rest." Li Shen also stood up and responded, preparing to do important things.
"Well, you go ahead." Concubine Wei replied
Li Shen walked out of the front hall to greet Lan Yuer, Xiao Shitou and others and went straight to the department room. The tables and chairs he drew yesterday will be finished today. When he arrived at the department building, he found the eunuch in charge and explained his purpose. Then take out the drawings and show them to the craftsmen.
The craftsman looked at it for a while and asked: "Your Highness King Shen, yours looks a bit like a bar stool, but it is a little different. But it should be easy to make in a few hours. I don't know how much you need to do."
"There are many styles. I'm here to watch you do it. By the way, I'll tell you the size. You need a square table like this. You need a chair like this. You need a big round table like this. You need a big round table like this. We need twenty chairs. Send more craftsmen to make them together. Ask me if you don’t understand. I need them urgently." Li Shen said
"Okay, Your Highness King Shen. I will summon the craftsmen right away." The eunuch in charge is named Zhang Wang. He is the eunuch in charge of the production department, from the seventh rank. Zhang Wang was very cooperative. In his opinion, everyone has nothing to do at this time anyway. It would be nice to make a good connection with King Shen.
After a while, more than a dozen craftsmen came and started working. Li Shen first asked everyone to try to make a chair. After everyone is familiar with it, several people will be divided into making chairs. Li Shen requires that all chairs be exactly the same. Including length, width and backrest curvature. At first, I was not familiar with the materials of several chairs. I finally made one that I am quite satisfied with. Then he ordered several craftsmen to make nineteen swords according to the style of this one.
Li Shen began to study the table with the remaining craftsmen. In fact, the table is also very easy to make. The smaller one is tailor-made according to Li Shen's height. As a desk in his bedroom. Li Shen planned to place the large round table in the side hall for dining. The Eight Immortals table and coffee table are placed in the front hall. Otherwise why make so many chairs? Just like that, I worked on it according to Li Shen's request until I was almost done eating. Li Shen asked the workers to polish the tables and chairs smoothly. There can be no burrs. Li Shen only said that it would be bad for His Majesty to prick his hand. These craftsmen put their faces on it and polished it bit by bit. Li Shen was amazed. No wonder later generations often say that if a leader talks, his subordinates will lose their legs.
After the completion, Li Shen asked Zhang Wang to call someone to help transport it back to Daji Hall. It was almost time to finish the meal. So not many people came out. They are all palace maids and eunuchs. And when they saw Li Shen walking in front, they didn't dare to look any further. So I don’t know what Li Shen moved back. Curiosity in the palace will kill people. They know this very well. Arrive at Daji Hall. Let the eunuch put everything in the front hall garden. Then he took two ounces of money from Dongmei and gave it to Zhang Wang and said, "You have worked hard today. Share the money with everyone. It's not much, so don't be too little."
"Oh, His Highness King Shen. How can a slave ask for your money? This is what we should do as slaves. But you can't do it." Zhang Wang quickly waved his hand.
"Okay. I know it's not easy for you in the department building. You have been busy helping me all afternoon, and it seems that you won't be able to eat dinner. Just treat it as hard work. I also have limited abilities. Don't be too little." As he said that, he put the money into Zhang Wang's hand. In fact, there is quite a lot of money for both. On average, each person has a few hundred coins, which is almost half a month's salary.
The treatment of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty was divided into several parts. Salaries and rewards. Salaries are divided into grades, and money and land are given. Those with high grades can get about 100 strings a year, and those are all third-grade managers at the general manager level. A year's salary without grade is only a dozen guan.
Most of them who make houses are craftsmen and have no rank. As for the rewards, they are actually only given to those who serve the concubines, princes and princesses. Whenever there is a festival, the master will reward him with money. It’s just a matter of rewarding more and less. Or if you are doing something for a noble person, the noble person will reward you with money if you are happy.
They work in the department building and may not receive any reward during the festival every year. Not to mention having no master. And if you make a mistake, you have to pay for it. So Li Shen said it was not easy for them.
Zhang Wang took the money given by Li Shen and his face was filled with emotion. They were helpless in the department. Any concubine's eunuch can be superior to them. Li Shen sympathized with them so much today. How could he not be moved?
"My slave, thank you His Highness King Shen. You still haven't thanked His Highness King Shen." The eunuch in charge shouted to the eunuchs behind him.
"Thank you His Highness King Shen for the reward~" Everyone saluted and thanked Li Shen.
"Okay, you guys can go back too." Li Shen ordered
"Yes, the servants will go back. If Your Highness has anything to do in the future, please give them your orders." After finishing speaking. The eunuch in charge took the people back to the department room.
"Shitou is looking for someone to move things." Li Shen greeted Shitou excitedly. Shitou summoned the eunuchs in the palace to move things inside. The first is a set of children's desks in my bedroom. Place it on the front of his bookshelf. Then put the round table in the dining area of the side hall. Place ten more chairs in a circle.
time is limited. So we can only make a simple round table. Wait until you have time later. I'm making one that can be turned around. He felt that it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Zhang Wang, the eunuch in charge of the department. Let him study it slowly on his own. Li Shen doesn't know how to do it himself. As long as Li Shen knows the effect. I'll leave the rest to my servants to study.
Never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Many unearthed cultural relics. It cannot be made using modern technology. Finally there is the front room. It is also the place where Concubine Wei receives guests. It turns out they all collapsed. Now it has been removed by Li Shen. An Eight Immortals table is placed in the middle of the first place. There are two Taishi chairs on both sides.
Then there were three coffee tables and three chairs on both sides of the first place. It’s just like the pattern on TV in previous lives. The host sits at the head. Guests do the following. Li Shen could imagine himself sitting on it. Loudly commanding, "Come here, serve tea." That feeling was so grand.
(Note, I won’t go into details about tables, chairs and benches. Everyone can make them.)
"Concubine, what you said is true. The child will not be able to do it next time. I just want the child to watch Concubine Yan die, and the child cannot bear it." Li Shen said
"Hey~~~, Shen'er, I know you are kind-hearted. But you have to be careful at all times in this palace. Everyone in this palace is vying for favor, in order to gain status and gain benefits. I work conscientiously in the palace and abide by Duty. I'm just afraid of causing some trouble and ruining your future. I can't get out in this life. But you can. Mother hopes you live well." Concubine Wei sighed and said. There is still some sadness.
