Li Ang feels that being a businessman is still quite comfortable, not only can he make a lot of money, let himself eat and drink without worry, but also can enjoy life more comfortably, although the shopping mall is like a battlefield, a little carelessness will be a failure, but as long as you are conservative and careful, the problem is not big, although conservative will make you lose the opportunity to become a big businessman, but it is no problem to make a small business to support yourself, at least, it is much more comfortable than ordinary people, and you don't have to work so hard.

To say that in the era when everyone wants to be a big businessman in later generations, the competitive pressure of being a businessman is quite large, but in the era of Datang, the proportion of businessmen is obviously not high, and the pressure of being a businessman is still relatively small.

And for a talent like Ang Lee, because he has too much scientific and technological knowledge, he can get great business opportunities by making some rare things casually, and it is too easy to be a big businessman, and it will be very comfortable.

It's just that the status of businessmen in this era is too low, just if you are a businessman, your personal safety may not be guaranteed, and no matter how rich you are, you will be looked down upon.

Moreover, merchants belong to relatively free people, they do not need to be loyal to the emperor, and they do not get due care, so in order to get the help of the imperial court, they cannot remove their official positions, otherwise, they will cause great resistance to themselves in all aspects.

Even in the later society where the law is relatively sound, it is difficult for a businessman to become bigger and stronger without the background of the imperial court, and a businessman must get the support of the imperial court in order to become a big and powerful businessman, so as to become an eye-catching big businessman, without the support of the imperial court, it is difficult to become bigger and stronger.

In short, a businessman must not only have a smart brain, but also have the backer of the imperial court, and then he can dominate the market and become a big businessman who is proud of the world, and even be able to rival the country.

For example, many of the machines studied by Ang Lee have been made into lanterns to show the strength of the Tang Empire and let foreigners see the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

These lanterns have ironclad sports cars, as well as super-large guns, although they are all models, but the manufacturing process is still very good, and, after magnifying many times, it can bring greater shock to the audience, and people will be in awe when they see the model.

The most satisfying thing for Li An is a model of an ironclad gun car, the size of this model is dozens of times larger than the real sports car, of course, it is dozens of times the volume, the length, width and height increase is only three or five times, the base is very high, taller than a person, the model of the ironclad gun car is above the base, it doesn't look like an ordinary might.

"Madam, look, this ironclad artillery truck is the sharpest weapon of my Datang, and it is the best weapon designed for my husband, as long as this weapon appears, the enemy can only flee from the wind, because no enemy is the opponent of this weapon, especially when the ironclad artillery truck group appears, the enemy will be completely crushed."

Li An pointed to the model of the ironclad gun truck in front of him and said proudly.

"I know, the husband is the most powerful, but this is just a model, and there is no real gun carriage majesty."

Yan Ruyu said.

The model does not have the power of the real gun truck, after all, the model is just a model, and the real gun car is textured, that is, the so-called metal texture, metal is the material used in weapons, hard and sharp enough, only the texture of metal can bring a strong visual impact to people, and make people awe of the ironclad gun car, however, the model also has the three-point power of the real gun car, and it is no problem to improve the pride of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ang found that the proportion of foreigners in the audience around the gun carriage was relatively high, and in the vicinity of other lanterns, the proportion of foreigners was less than 10%, and around these lanterns, the proportion of foreigners was more than 30%.

It seems that these foreigners from the Western Regions are quite interested in the armaments of the Tang Dynasty, and many of them are students who have been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, and there are also envoys from various countries who stayed in Chang'an City, because the Tang Dynasty treats foreigners with enough benevolence and righteousness, so they all like to stay in Chang'an City, and even some foreigners rely on Chang'an City, and the imperial court takes benevolence and righteousness as a policy, and does not drive them away, and also provides them with free food and accommodation, which is very preferential to them.

And these foreigners from all over the world, most of them have learned the language of the Tang Dynasty, and even, some of the blonde and blue-eyed guys, the language of the Tang Dynasty is more authentic than the locals, if you don't look at the face, you can't find that it is a foreigner talking to you, and for some foreigners who grew up in the Tang Dynasty since childhood, the accent is the absolute standard Tang pronunciation, and there is no difference between the natives of the Tang Dynasty, and the adults who have not been in Chang'an City for a long time have a poor accent. Many people can tell that they are not the people of Datang with one mouth.

"Wow, this is Datang's ironclad artillery car! It looks so majestic! ”

A young foreigner exclaimed.

"Yes, this is the most powerful ironclad artillery truck in Datang, but this is just a model, I have also seen the real artillery car, it is much more majestic than this."

"With such a powerful weapon, why does only Datang have it? Why don't we eat big? ”

"Oh my God? I really hope that one day, our court will have such powerful weapons, so that we will never have to look at other people's faces again. ”

"Hey, be quiet, be careful of getting beaten."

"Oh, it's time to be quiet, we should go and see the real ironclad artillery carriage when we have time, can you lead the way?"

"The real ironclad artillery car, shouldn't it be in the army?"

"No, some of them are placed in the city, everyone can go and watch them, and you can even go inside to have a look, but it costs a little money, and it's not very expensive, it's only twenty yuan."

"It's only twenty wen, so cheap, it's too worth it, you have to take a look if you have time, even if you touch it, twenty wen is worth it."

"What is it at a glance, but I once saw this weapon with my own eyes, it was on the grassland of our stone country, there was a team of ironclad artillery trucks passing by there, there were about ten of them, and a group of people rushed in front of them, all of them were cavalrymen, not a thousand but eight hundred, all with weapons in their hands, they looked very fierce, we saw very clearly, they were the most ferocious horse thieves in the vicinity, but this group of fierce horse thieves was all over after encountering the ironclad gun trucks."

"Oh, it's all over, didn't you get a single one?"

"Less than a fifth of the run away, is scattered to run away, at that time, the ironclad artillery car bombardment, so many horse thieves were bombarded by the people on their backs, a short time to lose more than half, the leader looked wrong, just want to escape, however, the horse thief's hooves can not run the ironclad gun car, was chased all the way, the loss is getting bigger and bigger, it looks like the whole army is about to be wiped out, and finally can only disperse and escape, first divided into more than a dozen groups, ran for a period of time to continue to score, and finally almost all of them escaped alone, if it were not for the thief cunning scattered to escape, it is estimated that There is not a single one left that will be annihilated. ”

"Oh my God! This ironclad artillery truck is really terrifying, Datang is too terrifying, no one can be the enemy of Datang, it can't be beaten, all the big countries can't beat Datang. ”

"A big country? Oh, you're wrong, in the whole world, except for Datang, where are there big countries, except for Datang, the rest are just small countries. ”

"Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty is benevolent and righteous, it is very good to us, as long as we are willing to surrender, we can get a lot of benefits, the rewards that our Shiguo gets from the Tang Dynasty every year are more than three times the tribute, and the king's happiest thing every year is to send envoys to send tribute to the Tang Dynasty, which is really too profitable."

"Alright! I have already decided that I will stay in Datang for the rest of my life, and I will never go back, I will marry a wife and have children here, and have many children. ”

"Oh, then you have to be rich first, how can a woman in the Tang Dynasty take a fancy to you for no reason, you are just a small businessman, you still need to work hard, very hard."

"Yes, I will work hard, I will definitely be able to marry a girl from the Tang Dynasty."

A group of foreigners gathered together to chat, although their voices were not very loud, but Li An'an heard it.

For these people from small countries in the Western Regions, Ang Lee has no special feelings, because these are all men, and Ang Lee is only interested in beautiful women, so he won't be interested in these men?

After continuing to walk for a while, Li An looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "Madam, there was a yellow-haired boy just now who said that he wanted to marry a girl from the Tang Dynasty, do you think he can do it?" ”

Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment and said, "How do I know this, but as long as you work hard and achieve something, there shouldn't be much of a problem!" ”

"Oh, what does the lady think of these yellow-haired men? How about a man who is older than me? ”

Ang Lee asked.

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said: "These people look relatively strong, but they look too scary, they just don't look good, and they even look a little scary, how can they compare with the men of the Tang Dynasty?" Especially not compared with the husband. ”

This is Yan Ruyu's heart, in her eyes, these yellow-haired men are really not good-looking, at least, they are very inconsistent with his personal aesthetics, which makes her feel a little disdainful.

After all, the Tang Dynasty in this era is a strong country, and the people of a strong country will naturally have an innate sense of superiority, and will feel that their country's talents are the best, while the people outside are barbaric and backward, which is a very normal idea.

In other words, Yan Ruyu is used to seeing the appearance of Datang men, and has formed an aesthetic stereotype, feeling that only the appearance of Datang men is the most handsome, and the whites with blue eyes and yellow hair have become outliers in her eyes, and she will feel that these people are too strange and not good-looking, and it is difficult to like them in her heart.

This is obviously different from the Chinese women of later generations, because in that era, many girls were admiring foreigners, and when they saw white men with blue eyes and yellow hair, they were eager to pounce on them, and felt that these Westerners were too strong and handsome, which really made them tempted, and for local men, they couldn't look down on 10,000, so they were often deceived, and this couldn't blame anyone, who let them see it themselves?

"Madam is so right, how awkward do these yellow-haired boys look, or are our Tang men good-looking, especially for their husbands, they are even more handsome and chic......"

Li An said proudly.

"Okay, husband, don't boast, I can't listen to it anymore, and I'm still on the street?"

Yan Ruyu shyly grabbed Li An's arm, which caused others to look sideways.

Some people are determining whether Yan Ruyu is a woman, and some people don't see it, thinking that two big men are so greasy and too penetrating.

However, Ang Lee has never been a person who cares about other people's opinions, as long as he likes it, he doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, and there is no need for this at all.

"Madame don't have to be shy, let's go our way, don't care about other people's eyes, continue to appreciate the lanterns."

Li An unconsciously walked to the street close to the Qinglou, and the lanterns in front of him were made by the merchants of the Qinglou, and they were quite exquisite, and there were some girls from the Qinglou who were showing off coquettishness to attract the attention of the audience.

However, the audience who looks at the lanterns, not only men, but also women and children, some are a large family out to see the lanterns, when encountering this kind of lanterns, women will be extremely sensitive, pulling their men and children to leave quickly, if men and children dare to have the slightest stay, women will immediately change their temperament, men dare to stay, that is a burst of trouble, and if the child is curious and disobedient, it is a scene of beating, in short, must not let these dirty women, affect their men and children, Otherwise, they would never have agreed.

Li An has enough women at home to have fun, so naturally there is no need to go to these fireworks places, however, he will still go occasionally, if someone treats him, how can Li An not go, and, in the era of Datang, it is legal to visit the Qinglou, it is not an illegal thing, and it is necessary for the upper class to socialize, many times going to the Qinglou to play is not to find a woman, but to broaden his network, only on such a lively occasion, it will be more convenient and easy to make friends.

"Husband, what's so nice about these, it's just twisting around."

Yan Ruyu looked a little displeased when she saw Li An enjoying the dancing of the Qinglou woman.

Li An really didn't have much interest in these low-level head-scratching gestures, but seeing Yan Ruyu's unhappy expression, Li An suddenly had a plan.

"Madam, you must have never been to the Qinglou!"

"Husband, what do you say? How would I go to that kind of place? ”

Yan Ruyu hurriedly opened her mouth to clarify.

Li An smiled and said, "Madam, do you want to go to the Qinglou tonight to sit." ”
