Chapter 5 Earned

"Loss money? Why?" Li Youwei didn't react for a while.

"It's very simple. It's called advertising. I want to send these items to the palace and to the homes of various ministers. Mirrors are given to the queen, concubine, princess, minister's wife, daughter; night running lights are given to the military, etc.

But I want to ask my father for instructions on this matter.”

Finally, Li Xian knew how much he was. For such matters related to the government, he had to ask his father who was a "capable minister".

Lord Li Yulong accepted Li Xian's invitation with gratitude. Li Yulong saw the changes in Li Xian over the past sixty days. However, when faced with these items, Li Yulong, who is knowledgeable, commented very ordinary:

"It's very good, but it can only be regarded as a strange and lewd skill, which is useless for practice. If you just play around, forget it, don't be too involved, practice is the fundamental."

Faced with such comments, Li Xian grinned secretly: Dad, at most, you will understand that strange and lewd skills are of great use. Is it too long to cultivate immortals?

Moreover, cultivating immortals is a matter of one person; scientific research is a matter of a group of people! Is it a person who does things quickly, or is it a group of people who do things quickly? Humph!

Seeing Li Xian's persistence, Li Yulong stopped criticizing it, but began to appreciate it, "These things are indeed very beautiful and colorful. The operation method of this small switch is indeed much easier. Since you want to advertise, just send it to the palace openly. Is the quantity? Take a good number, 365, the number of the week.

As for what is given to the ministers and military, it is something that Your Majesty is qualified to do. Just give the things to Your Majesty.

In this way, I will report to Your Majesty today. Tomorrow evening, light up all the colorful lights and send them to the palace."

"Dad, do you want to kneel down when you see Your Majesty?"

"Practitioners all kneel down on the sky, kneel on the ground, kneel on the master, but have you heard of your Majesty. Where have you heard of these?"

"Uh..." Li Xian blinked and smiled; sorry, she showed her big tail again.

However, Li Xian was not worried about this; what really made Li Xian happy was: It was indeed correct to ask Li Yulong for advice. It was given directly to Your Majesty and then rewarded by Your Majesty. This advertisement was better! You should not offend others, at least you should not offend the emperor.

Li Xian has already started packing all the items and sent them to the inner city of Wuyang City first; there is no need to worry about the transportation of the huge seven fairies' lanterns. Two little masters in the foundation-building stage pinched the talismans and delivered them to their destination easily; Li Xian was stunned by the sight - the task is long and the road is long. If you want to develop technology in such a world, the challenge is extraordinary!

On the other hand, Li Yulong has already reported to His Majesty "Auspiciousness".

"Your Majesty, the dog's soul has returned from his wandering soul and unexpectedly learned about a strange technique. After two months of work, he made more than 500 exquisite items. He specially selected 365 of them and prepared to present them to His Majesty tomorrow evening."

"Oh?" On the throne, the middle-aged emperor was a little confused, "My dear, why do you need to be at night?"

"I'd like to ask Mr. Rong to keep a secret. Your Majesty will naturally understand tomorrow evening. The dog is now preparing. But the things are quite precious. Please send a few guards to check the points."

"Haha, Li Aiqing can always make me happy."

The emperor was very happy. Li Yulong said that he was asking the guards to check the points, but in fact he was surveillance. So the emperor was very happy. This loyal and capable minister is really my loyal minister!

The matter here soon reached the prime minister, and the civil and military officials were in the ears of the civil and military officials. When the prime minister learned about it, he just snorted coldly, but the officials were a little curious. What dared to let the emperor wait for the welcome must be extraordinary.

While everyone was looking forward to it, Li Xian had already started to "package". Good things must be packaged.

The small lighting was placed in the crystal plate of glass, and red silk was hung on it, which was for the textile workshop to help; especially the mirror, etc., which made the wooden workshop have made many exquisite frames; in the face of the generous rewards given by Li Xian, the woodworkers and the weavers tried their best.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next evening. Under the "protection" of several palace guards, Li Xian took the lead in walking in front. More than 600 people behind him were carrying or carrying 365 colorful lanterns to the palace, and the team stretched for a mile. At dusk, the three hundred colorful lanterns instantly attracted countless attention.

"What a nice view!"

“So beautiful!”

"That little mouse is so cute, but its tail is so big." "Idiot, that's a tree rat, not a mouse."

"Is that a mirror? It's like an immortal's treasure mirror."

"Those fairies are so beautiful, they feel like real fairies."

"It should be very valuable, right?"

“Where did you buy it?”

...

There were more and more people on the street, and Li Xian was overjoyed when he listened to the discussions around him; this advertisement was really worth it!

Soon the palace gate was in sight, and the emperor sat on a dragon throne floating in the air, and there were several guards flying in the air around him watching the unprecedented scene. There were also a few concubines and others coming to watch behind him. This world of practice is still relatively open and there are not so many rules and regulations.

When the brightly lit team came to the palace, many women were amazed.

"Okay!" The emperor was overjoyed.

Li Xian stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, the little people unexpectedly learned of a skill, and now they have made the most perfect 365 treasures to offer to His Majesty for their appreciation."

"Come on, come up and explain it to me."

Li Xian stepped forward in fear and found an invisible force under his feet to support him and came to the emperor. The middle-aged emperor's face had his own demeanor and majesty, and there was also an imperial concubine who dressed dignified and enchantingly together. This was the emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Hua.

Under the arrangement of the palace guards, items were presented to the emperor one by one. Whenever they saw one, the emperor would praise him.

"This little squirrel is so cute." Concubine Hua spoke for the first time.

"Just take the beloved concubine." His Majesty the Emperor gave others a sigh.

"Wow, a mirror as high as seven feet tall is so clear." Concubine Hua sighed.

"Take it with your beloved concubine."

"No, Your Majesty, this mirror is something that Your Majesty can have."

Li Xian immediately said, "As long as your Majesty likes, Xiaomin will prepare ten pieces immediately when he returns."

"Okay, okay." The emperor laughed happily. With Li Xian's words, the emperor became even more generous. This concubine and that rewarded the official, occasionally rewarded several guards around him.

Seeing such a happy emperor, Li Xian was happy on the surface, but in his heart he had to sigh: It was indeed a manifestation of the king who lost his country.

Finally, the strange item of the night running light was presented. These were the few items that had not turned on the lights. There were a total of six items in the tray.

"What is this?" His Majesty the Emperor was very curious and picked it up and checked it out. He stopped the guards from checking it. With his confidence in his cultivation, His Majesty the Emperor was not worried about any accidents or anything like that.

"Your Majesty, just push this button away."

"Oh? I'll try." The next moment His Majesty the Emperor was having a lot of fun and kept using this alternative strong light flashlight to illuminate here and there. But the emperor was the emperor after all. After playing for a while, he finally issued the first order, "Li Xian, this kind of night running light will only be sold to me in the future."

"Yes." Li Xian understood in his heart that the emperor was not completely foolish after all, and he still saw the military value of this thing.

“How much is the price?”

"8 taels of silver and 660 copper plates."

"One 10 taels of silver, prepare 10,000 for me first!"

Then they continued to display other items, but the emperor's favorite was the six strong night running lights. These six night running lights could illuminate three miles away. Combined with the keen eyes of practitioners, it was like an eagle paired with a telescope and a rabbit paired with a bazooka, which was going to go against the will of heaven.

But Li Quan was even happier. Not to mention the effectiveness of the advertisement, just talking about the 10,000 night running lights the emperor ordered, it would cost 10,000 taels of gold, and the net profit was 6,000 taels of gold! The price Li Xian quoted was 8 taels of silver and 660 copper plates, which was the original price, not the cost price.

In addition, the emperor's reward was an unprecedented advertisement. Many ministers did not come, so that's okay. His Majesty the Emperor sent the guards to deliver them. Seeing Li Xian really wanted to jump up and scream - it was great! It's a lot of money!

One night passed. When Li Xian returned to the workshop, Sun Ming and other craftsmen in the Jade Lantern Workshop were all screaming excitedly. The emperor gave 10,000 taels of gold, and everyone shared the 10,000 taels of gold overnight.

The power of money is endless; once, everyone worked overtime for a few copper coins; now, the least apprentice has all been given a full 1.5 taels of gold! Gold! It's only two months.

"Woo woo..." An apprentice actually cried.

"What's your name? Why did you cry?" Li Xian was very curious when he looked at the apprentice who was similar to his age; others were cheering, why did you cry?

"Young master, my name is Wang Dashi. My mother is sick and finally has money to treat her." Wang Dashi was in tears.

"So?" Li Xian suddenly looked at Sun Ming, "Teacher, you have money now. You see, if someone has difficulties, you can owe wages to credit first and deduct them from future wages. If the wages in the future are not enough, they can sign another ten years or thirty years of working hours."

When Sun Ming heard this, he bent down to Li Xian for the first time, "Young Master, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of 58 craftsmen."

"I accept it!" Li Xian helped Sun Ming up.
