Unlike the other people who had transmigrated, Li Bing was just an ordinary student in a second-rate university in his previous life. He studied a major that was of little use. Other than understanding the theoretical manufacturing process of glass, a stomach full of Tang poetry and Song songs, and the phrase "one sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoal" that everyone knew, he knew almost nothing else. Therefore, he was destined to not be able to develop technology, nor could he refine steel, let alone make guns and cannons. What he relied on... He only had his martial arts, his confidence in the history exhibition, and his not-so-stupid little brain.
Under Li Bing's behind-the-scenes arrangement, Debing Hall's shops in Chang 'an City were opened one after another. Debing Hall's shops were divided into three categories: Debing Hall's Yunshang Agency, Debing Hall's Feather Fan House, and Debing Hall's Treasure Pavilion. All of them belonged to the big boss of Debing Hall, who was also Li Bing. The Yunshang Agency was responsible for the clothes he designed himself, the Feather Fan House sold folding fans, and the Treasure Pavilion sold various luxury goods, including sunglasses and glass products that had not been manufactured yet. The clothes that Li Bing designed for Yunshang Agency were all secretly drawn or made samples by Li Bing's confidants for the shop's master to make. All of them were made of high-quality fabrics. Each type of clothes was only made of ten pieces, and they were not made in excess. Each piece was sold at a sky-high price. Because the clothes made by Yunshang Agency were novel and beautiful, the materials used were good, and the quantity was small, they were sought after by the nobles as soon as they went on the market. There was an endless stream of people going there every day. Because every piece of clothing was sold at an extremely high price, there was no need to worry that other clothing shops would buy it and counterfeit it. As for the folding fan sold by Feather Fan House, because of its elegant design, under Li Bing's deliberate promotion, this small folding fan was deeply loved by scholars and scholars, becoming a must-have elegant item in the hands of scholars. As the manufacturing process of the sunglasses in Treasure Pavilion was complicated and the cost was very high, it also became a rare item that high officials and nobles fought to buy. Soon, the dozen or so sunglasses were sold out at the price of 1,000 strings each. The manager of the Treasure Pavilion spread the news that these were items brought from overseas and could only be brought in once every three months. Therefore, the people who were dejected because they did not buy the sunglasses took their money and went to order them again, afraid that they would not be able to order the next batch of sunglasses if they were late. Li Bing looked at these things that didn't cost much and sold so well. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
All in all, Li Bing's secret money-making plan was a great success. In just three months, he had earned nearly two hundred thousand strings of money, which was almost the total income of the entire Tang Public House in a year. Li Bing could not help but sigh. There were really many rich people in the capital. Of course, no one knew that the owner of De Bing Hall was Li Bing, except for Li Bing and his confidants. Even the people in the Tang Public House and the managers of De Bing Hall did not know.
The current Li Bing could be said to be very proud of his success. He had learned martial arts well and now had such a big business. Li Bing felt that he was one step closer to his great cause. Everything was on the right track. The only thing he lacked was talent. However, the matter of talent was not something that could be rushed. Li Bing could only repeat the life of studying and flirting with the sister next door at home while patiently waiting for news of his confidant who was looking for talent.
On this day, Li Bing was tired of staying at home, so she walked into Gao Yuqin's room with a familiar gait. Gao Yuqin was concentrating on learning needlework in front of her dressing table. Gao Yuqin seemed to have immersed herself in what she was doing and did not notice Li Bing's arrival at all. Her focused expression had a different kind of beauty in Li Bing's eyes. When Li Bing saw that Gao Yuqin did not notice her, she suddenly wanted to play a prank to scare her. He tiptoed behind Gao Yuqin and suddenly licked her earlobe. Gao Yuqin was immersed in her needlework world and was shocked by Li Bing's sudden attack. She jumped up from the stool with a cry and saw Li Bing looking at her with a smile. She suddenly realized Li Bing's arrival and said coquettishly," You little rascal, you scared me to death. I'm ignoring you. Hmph, ouch…" Gao Yuqin suddenly frowned and moaned. Li Bing hurried over. It turned out that when Gao Yuqin was scared just now, her finger was accidentally pricked by the embroidery needle. Gao Yuqin felt a sharp pain on her finger. Just as she was about to cry, she felt that her injured finger had entered a warm package. She looked down and saw that her pretty face immediately turned red as if water could be squeezed out. It turned out that Li Bing had put her injured finger in his mouth and gently licked the blood that was oozing out.
Li Bing looked at Gao Yuqin, who was standing in front of her with a bashful expression, and asked gently,""Does it still hurt?" Gao Yuqin bit her lips and shook her head. Li Bing stood up and gently embraced the girl who was much taller than her. Gao Yuqin became even more shy and buried Zhen in Li Bing's chest. Li Bing gently hugged this docile girl. Although her hand was not big, it was relatively strong. She gently slid on the girl's slender back and whispered,"It was my fault just now. I shouldn't have scared my Sister Qin. How about this? The weather outside is quite clear today.”At this moment, Gao Yuqin was just lying on the boy who was much younger than her like a lazy kitten and softly hummed.
The two boys and girls held hands as they strolled along the bustling Chang 'an Street. Obviously, Gao Yuqin, a lady from a wealthy family, rarely went out. At this moment, she did not look like a lady at all. She was really like a seven-year-old girl. She looked around and chattered excitedly with Li Bing.
Li Bing smiled and held her tightly, afraid that she would run into danger. When he saw the little thing that Gao Yuqin really liked, Li Bing, a little rich man, would not let the girl down. He quickly took out his money and bought her some small accessories and snacks that she liked. It was so happy that the tenderness in the little girl's eyes seemed to be dripping when she looked at him.
Just as the two children were indulging in their romance, a loud and hurried sound came from the distance, followed by the sound of hooves approaching. Li Bing's attention was attracted by it. In the distance, she saw a horse that had not yet put on a saddle charging wildly on the street. A few burly men chased the horse nervously while shouting,"Be careful, get out of the way." The pedestrians were so scared that they hid in all directions. They saw that the horse was moving so fast that the few passers-by could not avoid it in time. He was knocked aside by the horse and lay on the ground in pain for a long time, unable to get up.
All of a sudden, a child accidentally tripped over a brick on the street when he was running toward the side of the road. Normally, it would not be a big deal to trip over a brick, but now, due to the panic in his heart, the child actually fell to the ground. His legs were so weak that he could not stand up no matter what. The horse was obviously a divine horse. It arrived in front of the child in a short while. The child was immediately shrouded in the shadow of the horse's hooves. The child was so scared that his face turned pale. Seeing that the child was about to die under the horse's hooves, the child was so scared that he closed his eyes. He only heard a loud shout," Beast, how dare you!"”Then, the horse stopped not far from the child. It turned out that a small figure had pulled the reins. No matter how hard the horse neighed and rushed forward, it could not move an inch. The person with such strength was none other than our Unrivalled Thunderbolt male lead, Li Bing. As expected of the protagonist of this book, he always performed heroic deeds at critical moments.
The crowd saw that the wild horse was pulled by a child, and they were all amazed. Later, a sharp-eyed person recognized that it was the Third Young Master of the Tang Empire. Li Bing's name had long been spread in Chang 'an. Seeing Li Bing's bravery today, everyone applauded. A few brave people immediately ran over to help the child up.
At this moment, the men who had been chasing the horse ran over, panting heavily. They thanked the horse while reaching out to grab the reins of the wild horse. When the wild horse saw that there were more people around, it immediately became irritable and wanted to break free. Li Bing immediately grabbed the reins tightly. Those men knew how powerful he was and did not dare to act rashly.
He learned from those men that these men were specialized in selling horses from the Turks to the Great Sui Dynasty. This horse was very bad-tempered and had just been caught from the Turks. When it was caught, it had injured several people. Originally, he thought that there were many rich people in Chang 'an and wanted to sell it here for a good price. Unexpectedly, just as he put on the bridle and hadn't put on the saddle, the horse suddenly kicked the person who put on the saddle and ran wildly on the street.
Only now did Li Bing have the time to carefully examine the horse. The horse's body was pure white, and its white hair was neatly arranged. There was not a single stray hair on its body, and its mane was thick and long. Its unruly eyes were bright and lively, and occasionally revealed a trace of ruthlessness. On each of its four legs, red hair grew from the hooves up to half of its calves. When it ran, the frequency of its four legs running was very fast. From a distance, it looked like it was stepping on a ball of fire. The more Li Bing looked at the horse, the more he liked it. He immediately said to the man,"How much is this horse of yours? I like it very much. I want this horse!”
The burly man looked at the child in surprise. Although the child had surprised him enough today, he couldn't help but wonder if the child was teasing him when he said that he wanted to buy a horse, and it was an untamed horse.
Li Bing saw the doubt in the man's eyes and said unhappily,"What? Do you think I can't afford it? Go and ask around. Everyone in Chang 'an knows the name of Li Bing of the Tang Public House. I want your horse today. Come, let's get the money.”After saying that, he flipped over and climbed onto the horse's back. He smiled and stroked the struggling horse."Good horse, good horse. From today onwards, I am your master. Young Master, I am so famous. You should also give me a very powerful name!”He pondered for a moment and then said happily,"It's settled then. From now on, your name will be 'Fire Treading Jade Kylin.”
