Chapter 2 Prince's life, different fireworks
After Li Ke finished speaking the words of scolding, he looked straight at Li Yan, hoping to find even a trace of guilt in his face, but he was disappointed and saw Li Yan looking stupid, as if he was in a daze or thinking about something.
Li Yan has no time to stare blankly now. He is thinking about how to deal with the current situation. In a blink of an eye, he became the sixth prince Li Yan. The sudden change in identity caught him off guard. The thoughts were turned on. After a while, he felt relieved again. In the 21st century, he was just a single otaku who was still looking for a job. Here he is a prince with 100% purity. He asked him to choose. He would rather be this prince. He can also use the ring and the time and space tunnel in the ancient well to occasionally return to modern society. At that time, he can use the different advantages of the two worlds to get along with each other...
"Hehe...hehe..." Thinking of this, Li Yan, who was sitting on the bed, smiled obscenely, and his saliva was flooding like the Yellow River.
He looked stupid before, but now he was smirking and drooling. An ominous premonition arose in Li Ke's heart. His face was gloomy and turned to the imperial physician who treated Li Yan: "What's going on! Didn't you say that there was no serious injury?"
Li Ke was originally a prince, and he was a little powerful when speaking. The imperial physician felt cold in his heart. He immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "Report to the Third Prince, the Sixth Prince is not seriously injured. But the Sixth Prince fell into the well and injured his head... In case..." The imperial physician dared not continue to say what was below, but the meaning was already very obvious.
Polo was already very popular in the Tang Dynasty. There were often accidents of falling off horses. Among some people who injured their heads, many people had problems with their heads and became fools. Therefore, many people understand this meaning.
Li Ke had already thought of this possibility when he saw Li Yan. The imperial physician said this to make his heart a little colder. Although this brother of a mother and his compatriots was naughty, Li Ke always loved this brother very much. Seeing that he was now, his tears fell down again.
"Third brother, I have nothing to do, don't be sad!" At this time, Li Yan spoke. He planned to live here and initially adapted to his identity. However, he still has no feelings for Li Ke now, but at least he has to act!
Li Yan's words turned Li Ke into joy. He held Li Yan's shoulder tightly with both hands, patted him hard, and said, "You are so scared that you are so stupid that you can't do such a fool again in the future!"
After acting in full play, Li Yan immediately looked regretful and said, "It was all my fault before. Today, I was scolded by my father. I have already awakened. Third brother, don't worry, I will not cause trouble for you and your mother in the future."
"Liu Lang..." Li Yan's mood is no longer described in words. The prodigal son will be able to turn back, let alone a prince. The trouble caused by Li Yan in the past made him and Concubine Yang unable to raise his head among the many princes, princesses and concubines. Now Li Yan finally understands their suffering?
Li Yan is not only healthy, but also has a heart of repentance. Li Ke is in a good mood and chats with Li Yan. After rewarding the imperial physician, he left the Liang Palace. He now has his own palace and official duties in Chang'an, so he cannot waste too much time here.
After Li Ke left, Li Yan jumped off the bed like a hungry tiger pounced on food and rushed directly to a celadon vase placed in the corner of the room.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were porcelains in the south and north and white. Nanqing refers to the celadon of Yue kiln, and Beibai refers to the white porcelain of the north Xing kiln. Among them, celadon is a little more precious than white porcelain.
This celadon vase is about half a meter tall, and it is the same color as the water-cyan, with a bright and transparent glaze. Li Yan didn't know much about appreciation, but he also thought the workmanship of this vase was good.
After playing for a while, Li Yan admired several other decorations in the room, including the golden toad, the jade pig, and the glazed Ruyi, which were all luxury goods of the royal family at that time.
"I'm rich, these are all genuine products from the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to worry about being fakes at all!" Li Yan picked up a white porcelain teapot and murmured, with a wolf-like light bursting out in his eyes. The functions of the ring were divided into two states: protection and non-protective. Li Yan forgot to turn on protection, which destroyed his body by the passage of time and space. Once protection is turned on, the effect brought about by the passage of time and space will be ignored. This means that Li Yan can place these antiques outside the protection area, so that they will still be real antiques and will not be considered high-quality imitations.
"Your Highness, do you dislike these decorations being old? I'll ask my servant to change them to you!" Jin Daqian stayed in the bedroom and had not left yet. Seeing Li Yan frowned and looked at the decorations in the house one by one, and flattered him in time to follow.
"Oh, no, you go and do it. I just take a look. I haven't come back for two years and be familiar with the environment!" After saying that, he stepped out of the threshold and walked into the yard.
During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was divided into three rough areas: the palace city where the emperor and concubines lived, the imperial city where officials worked, and finally the outer city where the mansions and houses were concentrated. Among the three areas, the outer city has the largest area, and there are the east city and the west city in the east and west city respectively. Li Yan's Liang Palace is in the outer city.
After leaving the bedroom, Li Yan walked along a stone arch bridge through a pond full of goldfish and arrived at the corridor opposite. Most of the buildings in the Tang Dynasty were made of wooden structures, supplemented by bricks and tiles, and Li Yan’s Liangwang Mansion was no exception. Most of the buildings were brick and stone bases on the ground floor, wooden structures in the middle, and green tiles on the roof. But it has to be said that the combination of these simple structures gives various buildings a different aesthetic. Walking here, Li Yan truly felt the beauty of the garden.
After walking around, Li Yan took about half an hour. He estimated that the Liang Palace covers an area of 10,000 square meters. Compared with the 21st century, it is really a luxury house.
Just as Li Yan was sighing at the luxurious life of the Tang Dynasty nobles, the head of the royal family, Jin Daqian, hurried over, with sweat on his face, shouting as he walked: "Your Highness, it's not good, Your Highness..." He almost cried.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Yan said strangely. Could it be that his emperor father had another idea to mess with him? I'm afraid no one except him, Chang'an City, wouldn't dare to get along with him.
"Your Highness, the people from the Eunuchs are here. This month, we only gave us five stakes of money for the Liang Palace. If we lose 45 stakes, the royal palace will soon be unable to make a fuss!"
"What!" When it comes to money issues, Li Yan immediately became sensitive. This cheap father was preparing to completely limit his freedom. Without spare money, he could not spend money with his friends in Chang'an City.
Li Yan's head started to move. Chang'an now has eight coins of rice, one dou of rice is ten liters, and one liter of rice is two kilograms. In other words, one cent is equivalent to three dollars in modern times, and five jin of money is five thousand coins. In other words, the monthly salary of the royal mansion is equivalent to ten thousand yuan.
Ten5,000 yuan a month is definitely enough for Li Yan, but there are still a lot of servants in the Liang Palace, and these people are all paid, otherwise whoever works for you is useless.
"How many servants are there in the royal palace now!" Li Yan asked.
In addition to being able to become the general manager, Jin Daqian must be not stupid, and immediately understood what Li Yan meant, saying, "There are four maids in the royal palace, eight servants, one accountant, and me! Prince, what do you mean to cut these servants?"
"So how much is the total monthly salary in a month?" Li Yan did not answer and asked another question.
Jin Daqian replied honestly: "The maid is 300 yuan a month, and the servant is 200 yuan a month. The monthly salary of the accountant and my accountant are a little higher, 600 yuan and Yi Guan."
After calculating, Li Yan finally understood why Jin Daqian said that the royal mansion was about to lose his money. Apart from these people's monthly salary, only 600 cents were left for the royal mansion to spend, and he was so nervous that he could not starve to death.
"What should I do? Your Highness!" Jin Daqian understood that there was no surplus grain in the royal palace. Li Yan was a pure moonlight clan and had no savings left.
If it were Li Yan in the past, he would have been destined to be anxious, even lay off his subordinates and accept punishment honestly, but now it is different. Li Yan, a 21st century otaku, was full of ideas for making money in this dynasty.
Li Yan lost the word "as usual" and sent away the confused Jin Daqian away. When he returned to the bedroom, Li Yan took out the ring and pressed a few buttons. The artworks placed in the room immediately disappeared.
Then Li Yan swayed to the ancient well in the back hall. This time he remembered to turn on the protection function, opened his eyes again, and returned to the ancient well in the backyard of the old house.
Back in the familiar room, if it weren't for the Tang Dynasty costume he was wearing, he would have thought he had a dream, and pressed a button again, a celadon vase, a jade unicorn, and a glass Buddha statue fell out of the ring. This time he set up a special protection range, and these antiques were genuine.
Li Yan was really shocked. In my grandfather's world, the space ring was actually a common household item, and the ring left to him by grandfather had a huge space of hundreds of thousands of square meters.
After changing back to a modern casual outfit, Li Yan stood in the mirror and looked at himself carefully. The mirror was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy. Seeing the boy's appearance, he was surprised and hurriedly found his ID card. Seeing the photo on his ID card, Li Yan looked at him again. His appearance was basically the same, "This is a coincidence, just the same name, how about the same look!" Li Yan said to himself, but this saved him from worrying that he would not have to become a black user, and he could still handle things with his original identity.
"Are you pretty handsome?" After looking at it again, Li Yan farted and then focused on the antiques he brought back. It was time to do some serious business.
Antique trading is a violent industry, with antique merchants roaming around the country to purchase antiques. As long as you find a priceless antique, it is never difficult to get rich overnight.
Of course, Li Yan would not look for these amateur antique merchants. In a metropolis like SH City, antique auction houses are a relatively good choice.
After taking a car, Li Yan took three antiques directly to the more famous antique auction house in SH City, and explained his purpose.
"Sir, please wait a moment. Our appraiser will come to evaluate you. If it is a genuine product and you plan to sell it in our Shopping Store, we can waive your appraisal fee. If it is a fake product, you need to pay an appraisal fee." The front desk lady wearing black work clothes said politely.
Li Yan was 100% confident in his antiques and said, "No problem!"
