Chapter 7: Who Can Revitalize the Luo Family

Aunt Tian suddenly approached, her face full of mystery, resembling a celestial being, and said: "Dou Dou, it's no small matter that his third uncle has a backache; a woman's head and a man's waist..." Her voice grew softer and softer, gradually muttering, and the little girl's face slowly became flushed with a rosy hue

In fact, even when the court spent money, the expenditure was also eight hundred wen per guan. The saying goes, "guan eight hundred, diao eight hundred," and these terms all originated from here

Hmph, wear it if you want | I can't wear it, my back hurts, I need to go out for a walk

Han Yue has finally found the joy of showing off. After composing a poem, he feels that he can be considered graceful and independent, breezy and unrestrained, embodying the spirit of being the only one sober among a crowd of intoxicated people.

Wandering aimlessly, I gradually arrived at the edge of the village

Unfortunately, she cannot die yet, as she still bears the heavy responsibilities on her shoulders. The livelihoods of the seventeen veterans behind her all depend on her to support them

Some may ask, with only 100,000 in revenue, how can there be 80,000 in net income? Isn't this absurd? Could it be that you intend to deceive readers who are not from a professional accounting background?

Clearing my throat and finding the right pitch, I began to recite

"Are you having back pain again?" The little girl looked at him suspiciously, trying to find signs of laziness on Han Yue's face. After observing for a long time, her concern for her husband ultimately prevailed, and she had no choice but to put down her work and come over to give him money.

Regardless of whether it is copied or not, this pretense is simply delightful, refreshing, unconventional, exhilarating, and unrestrained

The glory of the father cannot be tarnished, the rise of the Luo family cannot be neglected... This thought flashed through Luo Jing'er’s mind once again, and she could not help but straighten her body a little more on the horse's back

In just ten short days, the income surprisingly exceeded 100,000. After deducting the expenses for wages and Uncle Tian's share, the net income for the family amounted to 80,000.

Riding freely and looking far towards Chang'an, Luo Jing'er did not know whether the Tai Chi Palace was bustling with discussions at that moment, nor did she know if the court officials were mocking and disdainful. The only thing she knew was that she had failed in this expedition, and upon returning to Chang'an, the Luo family would face a storm of severe repercussions.

It is said to be an invention, but to put it bluntly, it is worth nothing. It is merely a crude mold filled with a mixture of clay and mugwort medicinal mud, and then pressed onto the ground, resulting in a plate of incense coils. The aesthetic quality surpasses that of handmade ones.

Oh my sister, I want to kiss your lips... Han Yue stepped out of the house, humming a nonsensical tune along the way. When she encountered a fight between cats and dogs, she would kick one of them; when she saw children playing wildly, she would slap one of them. She felt completely relaxed, and life was so carefree.

"The guy in front, quickly dodge! We can't hold the horse..." A crisp voice urgently called out, and Han Yue instinctively froze. Just as he was trying to show off, something happened. What is going on?

They all bear wounds, their warhorses are emaciated, and their battle attire is tattered

Regardless of the dynasty or era, scholars have always been regarded as sophisticated and distinguished in the eyes of the common people, especially those who can compose poetry. At this moment, even the rowdy little children fell silent, not daring to speak.

How can it be said that machinery is the primary productive force

Who knows that the food on the plate is the result of hard work, grain by grain

This expedition was undertaken without official authorization and does not fall under the dispatch of the court. Although the Luo family army traversed the vast desert grasslands, they did not achieve the expected results, but instead met with total annihilation.

The gentleman has worked so hard inventing mosquito coils; it is time for him to take a good rest

As the scene zooms in, take a closer look. This whirlwind of 18 riders is, in fact, already exhausted, with several knights on the verge of collapse, yet they persist solely through an indomitable spirit.

Han Yue's anger stems precisely from this

... ...

Looking again at the hemp rope I had twisted in my hands, it was soft and uneven, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, and the feeling of trying to push something in for a long time without success was even worse than that of a seventy-year-old man's member

In the vast desert, the smoke of war rises, the Tianshan Mountains tower majestically, and the hot wind blows like a steel knife, causing the skin to crack.

At this moment, the sky is high and the clouds are light, with a gentle summer breeze. Before us stands a handsome young man, holding a branch, waving it with the force of thunder and wind, his whole body trembling with excitement, resembling someone who has taken a stimulant and begun to dance fervently, appearing even more joyful.

A total of 80,000 copper coins filled an entire large cabinet. At the strong request of Xiao Dou Dou, Han Yue decided to organize the family assets.

She is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, the age when spring is at its finest. Who would know that she has fought through the night in all directions, entering and exiting the cavalry formations of the Turks three times, with the souls of hundreds who perished beneath her spear.

Hehe, this is exactly the feeling I wanted

That saying goes, a small mouth but a big fellow, wanting to come in and go out, hum, unless you are tough enough

The Eighteen Riders, this is already the last troop of the Luo family army of the Great Tang

When there is money at home, one naturally stands tall

... ...

Sir, please do not disturb; I have work to do

Ladies and gentlemen, please be clear that it is a cramp in the person, not a cramp in the hand

"Where are you going, my lord?" The young girl looked at his back and called out to him from a distance.

Unfortunately, the old pretentious man, Master Han San, was a bit slow to dodge. Although the knight managed to rein in his horse, he was still knocked away, landing in the grass by the roadside.

During this period, I encountered several villagers, each of whom nodded and bowed with respect, completely devoid of the previous confrontational demeanor of glaring and showing defiance.

On the first day of its launch, the mosquito coil was quickly recognized by the market, largely due to its smokeless effect and burn duration, with its low price also being a significant advantage

Little Dou Dou is happily busy over there. Upon hearing this, Tian Tian smiled sweetly and encouraged, "Husband, hurry up and put on the money, hurry up and put on the money, it will be useful once it is turned into a string of coins."

Yes, first one must stand with hands behind their back, then look up at the sky. Merely doing this is not enough; one must also have verses in their mouth. For instance, 'The hoeing of the rice occurs at noon,' after all, it contains the character 'sun,' which resonates with the rural atmosphere.

In the scorching summer, with few pedestrians in sight, there are, however, eighteen riders in the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty, galloping swiftly like the wind sweeping away the clouds

It is a pity for those fallen soldiers

When a person is alive, emotions are present; when a person dies, emotions cease. I do not possess the remarkable military achievements of my father, thus His Majesty the Emperor will not grant me clemency beyond the law, and the court officials will not offer assistance in times of need

This is the blood and fury that is forged in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood

This is more like it! What a good girl... Han Yue chuckled, stood up and brushed off the dust from his backside, then casually patted the little girl's head and said: "Work hard, and when it gets dark, I will come back to check."

Recalling those pretentious characters described in the book, Han Yue couldn't help but imitate them

The hoeing of the rice occurs at noon, with sweat dripping onto the soil beneath the rice plants

Fight your way through a bloody path, heading straight for Chang'an

In ancient times, there was no concept of large denominations in currency measurement. For instance, when you go to the market to buy small items, spending ten or eight wen is inconsequential. However, once the amount exceeds eight hundred, it must be strung together with a rope and counted as one guan of money, also known as one diao of money

The glory of the father cannot be tarnished. Luo Jing'er, persevere, persevere, the blood of Luo Shixin, the Silver Spear of the White Horse, flows through your veins, the revitalization of the Luo family requires your efforts

The heart of a young girl is gentle and serene, and no matter how strong she appears on the surface, she remains a woman at her core. In the journey to the grasslands and deserts, a full five hundred soldiers of the Luo family perished there, leaving only the last eighteen riders to return. This kind of pain brought Luo Jing'er to the brink of collapse.

This is the last unit of the Luo family army of the Tang Dynasty, consisting of 17 riders, among whom 16 are middle-aged men, while the one at the front is a youth of tender years. He carries a long spear on his back and holds the reins of the horse, his entire being poised like a javelin on the horse's back, regardless of the horse's galloping and the ups and downs of the ride

Every morning, Uncle Tian sets out with eight men, some heading to the market, some to Chang'an, and others stationed at the landlord's doorstep. In short, they fully embody the essence of guerrilla warfare, rapidly promoting the new product, mosquito coils, in the surrounding areas.

With a swing of the branch, he elegantly performed a flourish and then leaped into the middle of the road to frolic. As for what techniques could be executed with a branch as a sword, even he himself was uncertain.

Gazing at the villagers' aspirations and then observing the children's astonishment, Han Yue could no longer contain himself. He casually broke off a branch, looked up to the sky, and let out a long laugh, saying: "Dear neighbors, allow me to compose a song with my sword and recite another verse."

Father, what else can I possibly do...

Black-haired and black-helmeted, with long spears gleaming. The eighteen knights had faces as pale as water, each one marked by exhaustion, yet their speed on horseback showed not the slightest sign of slowing down, and the gravity in their eyes bore no trace of decline.

Gazing at a large box full of copper coins, gleaming in color and impressively heavy, the square hole in the center resembles a secret passage that has just been opened for you, enchanting and beautiful

Oh! This is the good thing about a well-behaved girl; whatever her husband says is what it is, even if she knows he is being lazy, she will still find it perfectly reasonable

As the saying goes, "With a fortune of one hundred thousand strings of cash, riding a crane to descend upon Yangzhou," this reflects a certain kind of opulent splendor of the wealthy.

Certainly, the surge in production is closely linked to a small invention he made afterwards

At this moment, we finally realized that the leading young man, who appeared to be in his prime, was actually a woman disguised as a man. She had a beautiful face, with eyes as clear as water. Who would have thought that such a delicate beauty was surrounded by a strong aura of bloodlust

From the vast desert to the grasslands, and then from the grasslands to Chang'an, this journey is boundless, spanning more than a thousand miles. They have endured the winds and sands beyond the Great Wall, as well as the scorching summers of the grasslands, facing both water and fire, and the clashing of swords and armies; nothing could stand in their way

No one noticed that in the distance, dust was flying as someone cracked the whip and galloped swiftly towards them

Hey, in such a situation, how can I not put on a show of sophistication?

Yet there were still those who applauded, several villagers clapped vigorously, and the little children laughed along, which only made the old pretentious man even more pleased with himself

There is no mistake; eight hundred wen is indeed equivalent to one guan, not one thousand wen. This involves a conflict between the commonly accepted value among the people and the official value set by the authorities. Throughout history, it has been stipulated that one guan must consist of one thousand wen, but the common folk possess a bit of cleverness. They have adopted the practice of using eight hundred wen, and if everyone in the world does the same, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he can only stare in frustration.

As for sales, there has not been the kind of awkward silence that Han Yue was worried about

"I’m done with this," Han Yue finally lost his patience, threw his hands up, snorted, and shouted, "Dou Dou, stop messing with the mosquito repellent and come over to count the money."

Damn, it turns out that one cannot be handsome for more than three seconds. Am I considered a victim of a car accident in the Tang Dynasty? The driver responsible, just wait for me...

The pricing of the mosquito coils by Han Yue is truly reasonable, costing only one coin for a plate, yet it can burn throughout the entire night without producing any smoke, only a faint medicinal fragrance. With such a cost-effective and high-quality product, how could its sales possibly be poor? Let us not forget that in the city of Chang'an, a bowl of noodles costs two large coins

Did I not say so? My back hurts, let's go out for a stroll

He finally found a feeling of counting money to the point of cramping his fingers

Aunt Tian is indeed a skilled worker, and with Dou Dou, this diligent little bee, the two women, one big and one small, harvest mugwort daily to make mosquito coils, producing as many as 10,000 trays a day, far exceeding Han Yue's budget

Having finished speaking, he left with great satisfaction, carrying his mobile game as he strolled out

This feeling of being unable to act despite having the desire can only be understood by those who frequently take blue pills yet still find themselves impotent

Qin Qiong's maternal uncle may take care of himself, but that cannot revitalize the Luo family

On a single day, the great roc rises with the wind, soaring straight up to ninety thousand miles. In recent days, Han Yue's mosquito coil industry has become quite prosperous.

For the villagers, Han Yue would not put on airs; only fools would act boastfully after suddenly becoming wealthy. Maintaining harmonious relationships with neighbors is still very important.

As Xiao Dou Dou contemplated this, her hands did not stop; she cheerfully began to string the money together

The ancient coin minting process was not advanced, and the small square hole in the center was quite narrow. To ensure the durability of the coin string, the rope was twisted to be quite thick

Han Yue let out a muffled groan and fainted.

"Even if offered money, Aunt Tian truly is a good person!" Han Yueyang sighed deeply, instinctively forgetting the deep grudge he held against Aunt Tian for having called him a little bastard.

If it were not for her lingering ambition to revitalize the Luo family, she would truly want to take her own life in that vast grassland, quietly accompanying the fallen soldiers, sleeping for a thousand years

Luo Jing'er could foresee her punishment; the Luo family would surely be stripped of their title, leaving only her life intact

Looking out, one can see the vast sky and wide clouds, the fields stretching in all directions, a few small children chasing after him, laughing and playing, while some villagers nearby hesitate, wanting to strike up a conversation, evoking an indescribable sense of emotion.

Fortunately, the horse reared up, narrowly stopping, and the knight's skills are quite impressive

"Damn it, who set these ridiculous rules? If I find out who it is, I will definitely kill you." Master Han held a hemp rope in his hand, speechless as he looked up at the sky, choked with emotion

The main reason is that Aunt Tian was frightened by the soaring income and was unwilling to agree to the promised fifty-fifty split, ultimately settling for only 10,000 yuan. Naturally, Uncle Tian did not dare to question the decision of the formidable woman in the household, and in fact, he was also quite scared.

Suddenly, it became silent all around

Counting money is something that everyone enjoys, but having to string each coin together with a rope can be a painful task. Unfortunately, this is not something that can be entrusted to others; one must do it oneself.

Grandma couldn't hold back any longer, and Grandpa wants to come again
