Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Li Xin lay leisurely on his recliner, lazily basking in the sun. With the hard work of the carpenters at home in the past few days, the living conditions inside the Chu Palace have undergone earth-shaking changes.

First up are the desk chairs. These things that Li Xin has become accustomed to in later generations were still rare and rare in the Tang Dynasty. He could only draw pictures by himself and let carpenters build them. Seeing the tall desk appearing in his study, Li Xin let out a long sigh of relief - he no longer needs to write and draw on that low desk, I always feel that it is very bad for the cervical spine, in case I get it in the future A cervical disc herniation is not good.

The desk designed by Li Xin is almost identical in appearance to the desks of later generations. There is a small cabinet on the left and right sides, and three drawers under the table. By the way, after Li Xin proposed the drawer design, all the carpenters in the family were dumbfounded, and they all looked at him with adoring eyes, as if he was the reincarnation of Lu Ban, which made him blush.

An old carpenter said: "Is the prince reincarnated from a fairy? This so-called 'drawer' is really wonderfully designed! I think that within three to five years, there will be no desks without drawers in this world."

Another person said: "No way! How can the prince's wisdom spread freely! Even if he dies, he can't reveal a single bit! Anyone who speaks out will be gutted, and their children and grandchildren will be cut off!" Considering the importance that Tang people place on incense, this is acceptable. Said it was a very poisonous oath.

Hey, hey, can't you? Just a drawer!

Li Xin scratched his head in embarrassment. He almost forgot that the complete popularization of drawers was already a thing in the Ming Dynasty. No wonder these carpenters were so excited. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there's no need to keep it secret, and it's not something important at all. If it spreads out, let it spread out, and just keep our things in order!"

The old carpenter was very moved, and immediately bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty's mind is really broad, I admire you!"

The rest of the carpenters followed suit and said, "My lord is righteous!"

Although Li Xin really felt that there was no need to be so excited about the drawer, since these carpenters were so solemn, he could only shrug his shoulders and let it go with a smile.

With a desk, of course, an office chair is indispensable. Of course, what Li Xin wanted most was the boss chair of later generations.

However, there is no hydraulic device these days, and it is simply a dream to make an office chair that can adjust the height of the chair. Li Xin had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. It doesn't matter if you can't adjust the height, but you must roll around! As an office chair, it doesn't even have rollers at the bottom, and it can't even roll around. What kind of office chair is that? Might as well be dead.

Back chairs familiar to later generations were still called "Hu chairs" in this era, and only some Hu people used them, and Tang people seldom touched them. Li Xin not only wants to build such a back chair, but also add wheels under the backrest? When the craftsmen supported by the Prince of Chu's Mansion heard such a weird request from Li Xin, they couldn't help showing dumbfounded expressions.

However, it's stupid to be stupid, since the owner has a request, of course the carpenters have to work hard to complete it. Not to mention that my lord is always happy when he sees everyone, he is very friendly, he doesn't put on airs, and the servants all love him, even if it's just for the 100 Wen a month that the lord offers, they are willing to give full play to themselves With his working wisdom and two-armed strength, he realized these weird ideas of the prince.

Anyway, they are people who sell their crafts for a living. Who is it not to sell to? The price offered by the prince did not treat them badly at all.

All in all, when Li Xin finally saw the office chair with wooden universal wheels at the bottom, he couldn't help feeling a sincere admiration for the wisdom of the ancient working people deep in his heart.

Who said the ancients were all fools? Anyone who thinks so is the biggest fool himself. The reason why Li Xin was able to repeatedly show his ingenuity in front of the ancients was simply because he came from later generations and received too much knowledge and information beyond the cognition of the ancients. Apart from these things, he is actually not much smarter than the ancients.

It is precisely because of his clear understanding of these that he has always been reluctant to step into the court hall, only willing to wander outside the court hall.

No matter which dynasty, the guys who can be dressed as birds and beasts are all the top elites of that era-don't get me wrong, at this moment, clothes and beasts are not derogatory terms, but commendatory terms. The official uniforms of the ancients were embroidered with various animals according to their grades and official positions, so-called birds and beasts. Therefore, being an official is also called being a "dressed bird or beast" these days.

All in all, this gang of well-dressed birds and beasts all have wisdom beyond ordinary people, fighting desperately for different interests in the vortex called "politics". Firstly, Li Xin didn't have such a good brain, and secondly, he didn't have much motivation to intervene in it, so of course he chose to stay at a respectful distance, lest he didn't know how he died.

Things like this, lying on a deck chair and basking in the sun with nothing to do, are the serious things in Li's confidence. However, it is still the old saying: It would be nice if there was a girl with me.

Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but think of Chen Youlan's beautiful and delicate face.

I think the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, do you want to invite my sister to eat moon cakes? I heard that cute girls like sweets. It is said that if you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach. If it is reversed, girls should be similar, right?

Li Xin was eagerly thinking about it, when suddenly Wang Gui quietly appeared from some corner, leaned over to Li Xin and said, "Your Majesty." Before he could say anything, Li Xin was startled. one jump.

"Damn you, you scared me, why are you walking silently!" Li Xin rolled his eyes angrily.

Wang Gui said innocently: "The little one used to be a spy, and he walked silently. Later, when he became the prince's personal guard, the prince didn't sleep well, and I didn't dare to make a sound when I walked. I got used to it after a long time." He said it lightly. , but Li Xin knew that the "spy" he was talking about was not the kind of cannon fodder-type pathfinder, but a real pioneer, probably at the same level as the top scouts of later generations, otherwise it would be impossible to turn into Li Xuandao personal guard.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Gui, who is usually submissive and in charge of various miscellaneous affairs in the Chu Palace, is actually a figure at the level of a soldier king? Li Xin couldn't help but began to reflect on whether his usual attitude towards him was too casual.

"Forget it, what's the matter?" Li Xin waved his hand to drive away his boring thoughts.

Wang Gui replied: "The Xu Jingchen who came last time came again and said he wanted to see the prince."

"He came alone?" Li Xin frowned and asked, "Didn't Lu Liufang come? I don't really want to see that person, it's a bit off-putting."
