Standing under the shade of the tree with his head lowered, Chen Mu felt extremely uneasy.

This set of desks and chairs mentioned by the king are certainly not complicated for a veteran, and can even be said to be something that can be done casually. However, when he came from Fang Mansion to Prince Xu Mansion, this was what Li Yuanjia gave him

Of course, Chen Mu didn't dare to neglect the first task. He used all his strength even if he killed the chicken with a knife.

The size is exactly the same, and you can’t see a single burr in the entire set of tables and chairs!

“The only pity is that I don’t have time to carve some patterns!”

After seeing the king circling around the table and chairs a few times, it seemed that he was about to try sitting down. Chen Mu was nervous and couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Although his knife skills were not as good as those of his master who stayed in Chang'an, he was more than ten years old.

Years of accumulation is no joke, if only I could have a few more days...

"Well, it seems pretty good!"

Sitting on the chair, Li Yuanjia twisted left and right, seemingly a little uncomfortable.

In order to save time, he did not ask Chen Mu to make the so-called Taishi chair, but the simplest backrest chair, which seemed too small. And when Li Yuanjia lay down on the table in front of him again, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "Huh? It seems like

It's a little bit higher, so it might be uncomfortable for me to write...Chen Mu, please shorten your four legs!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! The little one will change it immediately, change it immediately!"

After hearing this, Chen Mu quickly bent down in fear.

"Well……"

Seeing Chen Mucheng in fear, as if he had just committed some serious crime, Li Yuanjia looked helplessly at the sky and was speechless. If it were those people in his family, even if they made some mistakes, it wouldn't be like this, right? But thinking about this guy

It was a gift from my future father-in-law. This was the first time he made something for himself, and Li Yuanjia quickly felt relieved.

Well, he doesn’t know me yet!

Waving his hand, Li Yuanjia made his expression as soft as possible and said warmly: "Get up, I don't blame you for this. It was because I drew it a little higher when I first drew it."

It is natural that tables and chairs designed from memory will not fit.

In addition to the table being slightly higher, the chairs are also a bit too small for Li Yuanjia. It can be said that they are not perfect. But let’s use them for the time being and let Chen Mu and the carpenters who just arrived at the house do the work.

Isn’t it just through constant trying, little by little improvement, and little by little becoming comfortable?

So after seeing Chen Mu's tension eased slightly, Li Yuanjia then smiled and said: "You and the other two carpenters in the house will try a few more times to make the chair a little bigger... just a little! The other two sides can be

Make the armrests and make me some drawers under the table... Well, I will give you some pictures later, just follow them. When I am satisfied with what you are doing, I will build more!"

At this time, Han Shan, who had been waiting beside him, walked up and surrounded the tables and chairs made of Chen Mu and marveled at them: "Your Majesty, this thing is somewhat similar to the Hu Bed, but it can make the legs hang down naturally.

, there is no pain of sitting down anymore... But Your Majesty, although this thing is good, it is not very convenient for use everywhere, right?"

In a very tactful way, Han Shan reminded his master.

Seeing the butler's slightly worried look, Li Yuanjia also understood that in this era, the emergence of any new thing is not that simple.

For example, can this table and chair really become popular as soon as it appears?

Innocent!

Think about the Japanese people in their previous life. They learned the way of kneeling from China. How long have they persisted? Especially those kneeling competitions held in Japan, how many foreign flag-bearers have suffered so much?

Do they really think that sitting on their knees is more comfortable than sitting on a chair?

Of course it's impossible, but even if they all know it, the power of tradition is so powerful, especially the old people who have the right to speak, and their habitual cognition is the basis for everything. So the only way is to wait until the 21st century.

In the second decade, the Japanese chess academy changed all Japanese-style game rooms into Western-style chair games. The trend was irresistible.

This principle is actually no different in China.

So even though he came to the Tang Dynasty, one of the most open eras in Chinese history, Li Yuanjia still did not dare to make mistakes when he was in Chang'an, for fear of being copied by someone. Don't doubt it. In this dynasty, there was a

The powerful minister was even sued because of his eating etiquette, which eventually caused a huge fuss. I don’t know how many people came to visit him...

Facing Han Shan's worried look, Li Yuanjia waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, this thing will only be used in the inner courtyard for the time being, and will not be placed in other places for now. But Old Han, when everyone gets used to sitting on this chair,

I’m afraid no one is willing to kneel anymore.”

"Haha, what the king said is absolutely true."

Although Han Shan didn't really believe it in his heart, his head was nodding faster than anyone else.

Of course Li Yuanjia didn't care about Han Shan's thoughts. He patted the table with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Let Chen Mu cut off three parts of the table legs and move them to the study... By the way, the iron pot I want is made

Ok?"

"As far as I can tell you, Your Majesty, I haven't yet."

Licking his lips, Han Shan shook his head and said: "The prototype is there, but it is too thick and uneven... But I have already told the blacksmiths in our house to help. They should now

I’m thinking of a solution.”

"Well, let's wait a few more days."

Having anticipated this for a long time, Li Yuanjia nodded clearly and was not anxious at all.

I've been here for three years and I don't care about these days.

Moreover, Li Yuanjia is now thinking about how to improve his "difficult" living conditions. The ideas in his mind have been prepared long ago. He can guarantee that his craftsmen will finish one job and then the next one, and they will not bring it for at least half a year.

rest.

But the most important thing cannot be delayed.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia simply stood up from his chair and continued to ask Han Shan: "How about I ask you to find a place to build a papermaking workshop? Now that the craftsmen have arrived in Luzhou, it is appropriate to let them go and take a look first.

If so, start building!”

"this……"

After hesitating for a moment, Han Shan asked carefully: "Your Majesty, do you really want to make paper by yourself? In fact, if you are the only one who uses it, it is better to buy ready-made paper than to make it yourself. The cost will be much less..."

In Han Shan's view, Li Yuanjia's desire to make his own paper was just nonsense.

It would only be enough to build a set of tables and chairs, or an iron pot or something, but building a papermaking workshop costs a lot of money, and raising those craftsmen costs money every year. I really don't know what the purpose is.

"Okay, no need to say anything more!"
