back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 297

Jingzhao Mansion, in the city of Chang'an.

The rain is still falling, and there seems to be no sign of stopping the rain.

The raindrops hit the banana leaves, making a rustling sound, like this for another night.

In the Hall of Renming, Lu Chengqi looked at Keren who was sleeping soundly beside him. Because of the rain, he hadn't left the palace for several days.For the past few days, Zhou Zhiruo has sent servants to pass orders to manage Huangzhuang.It has to be said that Zhou Zhiruo is really talented in business.The business way of the Lu family, which had already declined, was picked up again by her.

Of course, Lu Chengqi is also credited for pointing this out.After all, he came from later generations, and he was well-informed, so he could make money with just a few random ideas and a little modification.Whenever Zhou Zhiruo looked at Lu Chengqi with adoring eyes, Lu Chengqi was very guilty, afraid that she would see something.According to Zhou Zhiruo's joke, if Lu Chengqi is not an emperor, but just a businessman, he can become rich beyond compare.

Not to mention, Lu Chengqi really speculated about this possibility.But unfortunately, Lu Chengqi felt that he had no possibility of success.If he hadn't been reborn as an emperor and became a beggar, even though there is no restriction on the Dashun scientific examination, beggars cannot take the examination.But how could Lu Chengqi, the soul of later generations who didn't know ancient Chinese, read the Four Books and Five Classics, or read historical books, stand out in the imperial examinations?
The imperial examination is a must-have, so let's go into business.Doing business may seem simple, but in practice, it turns out to be very difficult.The biggest problem is that there is no capital.With capital, do you know what is selling well and what is not?If you buy the wrong goods, you will lose money and lose money.Moreover, if it weren't for Lu Chengqi's decree to abolish official salt, salt, wine, tea, and iron would all be sold by the government. If you want to make wine, distill it into high-quality wine and mix it with water, go ahead and dream.There is not enough food to eat, and you still want to make wine, why don't you go to heaven?You see, if you don't get the koji and brew wine privately, you might be arrested in the name of disrupting the market and locked up for ten or eight years.

Besides, the simple ways you can think of to make money have long been thought of by the ancients.Even distilled liquor, the Song Dynasty in the history of the real brand, also had it.The distilled liquor in Song Dynasty was called Shaojiu, also called Baijiu.It was first spread from Liangzhe Road. It has high alcohol content and strong alcohol strength. It is about [-] to [-] degrees, and most people can't drink it.The name shochu, even in later generations, is still preserved in many places, such as Guangdong.Dashun corresponds to the Northern Song Dynasty in the official history. It is estimated that shochu and so on have been invented a long time ago, and you have nothing to do with it.

When the ancients drank, most people didn't like strong alcohol with high alcohol content.Just like people of later generations eat, they need to drink some beverages during the banquet. The ancients drank mostly rice wine and fruit wine, which are very low in alcohol, not easy to intoxicate, and taste sweet.If you make a wine with [-] or [-] degrees, it will be sold to you. Is there a market for you?

At this point, well, it’s not good to do business, so why not be a farmer’s head office?Don't think too much about it, although there are quite a lot of self-cultivating farmers in Dashun at this time, accounting for about three-fifths of all farmers.But the price of an acre of good land is more than ten yuan, if it is in the suburbs of Chang'an City, it is as high as more than one hundred yuan, even in remote places, it costs several yuan.What is the concept of how much money?The consistent money can be exchanged for more than 800 copper coins. One copper coin is about the purchasing power of two or three yuan in the year 8000 of the later generations. Counting five guanqian per mu of land, [-] copper coins are equivalent to [-] yuan in later generations.You are a newly reborn kid, and you still want to be able to afford a field?

Besides, one mu of land can only support two or three people.If Lu Chengqi hadn't been the emperor, according to Dashun's previous agricultural tax, 200% of the income was 60% of the fixed harvest tax, and one mu of land was more than 16 catties of grain, and you would have to pay more than 150 catties.One catty of Dashun is [-] taels, that is to say, if there is less than [-] catties of grain left, you can use about six or seven taels a day.

Calculation is very good, but where does the money you buy the land come from, the money you need to eat before you grow food?Even if all these difficulties are solved, are you sure you can farm?Can there be more than 200 catties of grain harvested a year?Even if you were a farmer before rebirth, you can't guarantee that without the help of chemical fertilizers, high technology, or even cattle, you can master ancient farm tools in a very short period of time and get a good harvest!
Well, in this case, farmers can't do it either.You know, the status of ancient farmers was very high!If you can't be a farmer, just be a craftsman.But are you sure, are you really good at ancient technology?You know, this is an apprenticeship system, that is, one day as a teacher and life as a father.When the master teaches you the craft, his job is equivalent to sharing half of your job.You have to serve him like a father until he is a hundred years old.You who came from a later life and did not respect your master, are you sure that you can swallow your anger so much, in order to survive, no matter how bad your master treats you, even punching and kicking, you have no complaints?I forgot to tell you that if you betray the teacher, your reputation will be ruined.Even if you go far away, if you happen to be discovered, you will not survive.

This is the way to go, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and all can't do it.Rebirth is also a technical job. Reborn as a beggar, it is a nightmare mode; reborn as a farmer or craftsman, it is a difficult mode; reborn as a landlord and rich gentry, it is an easy mode; reborn as a son of a prince or noble, it is an open mode; Like Lu Chengqi hit the big prize and was reborn as an emperor, that's God mode.

Thinking about this, Lu Chengqi couldn't help feeling a little scared.Received the so-called higher education in the later generations, and in the ancient times regarded as ignorant and ignorant by the later generations, if it was not because of his status, he would not be able to survive!
This is not a fantasy, nor is it appalling, but a stark reality.Lu Chengqi, who was tossing and turning, was extremely bored, and for some reason, his thoughts came here.With a wry smile, he thought to himself: "Could it be that there is God's will in the dark, and God's arrangement is to let me complete the historical opportunity missed by the Han people in this parallel time and space?"

Lu Chengqi had already thought of this idea many times.Before rebirth, he was just a small employee, working hard for three meals a day.After rebirth, he is the emperor aloof, who would dare not disobey an order.Lu Chengqi began to be a little fascinated by this kind of power, but more in awe.The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; the higher the status, the less selfish you can be.Since ancient times, selfish emperors have suffered miserably.Chongzhen is so dedicated, it is inevitable that Meishan will be hanged, why is there no reason for Lu Chengqi not to work hard?

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi looked at Zhou Zhiruo beside him, with infinite love and compassion in his heart, and he strengthened his belief: "For myself, for Zhiruo, for the people of Dashun, and for the future of the Han people That’s okay, I have no reason to be timid. The old master Confucius said that we must reflect on ourselves three times a day. In the future, we must always criticize ourselves, and we must not lead Dashun and the Han people into the abyss. The example of Hitler is still vivid in my memory. ah……"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi forced himself to sleep, because tomorrow morning, he would continue to get up early to exercise, and after breakfast, he would go to the Chui Gong Palace to deal with political affairs.

Raindrops outside the hall, beating on the green tiles.The tick-tock sound has the rhythm of heaven and earth amidst the chaos.Lu Chengqi listened, and slowly fell asleep...
