Great Tang princess

The carriage had just stopped, and the servant at the door had already hurriedly greeted and ran over.

But he didn't dare to get too close, he just told Yiluoru who was driving that he could park the carriage in a shed beside him.

Xiaodong opened the car door, Li Yuechen jumped out of the car, and waved to the boy: "Where is Wu Luolan?"

When the other party heard that he knew his boss, he couldn't help but take a closer look.

Seeing the height of the woman getting off the carriage is extremely conspicuous, she looks like a woman from a wealthy family.

Then look at the accompanying women around them, each with their chests up and their heads up, with extraordinary temperament.

Generally speaking, those who can work as servants in this kind of entertainment place have good eyesight.

Although these accompanying people are all women, it can be seen from their postures that most of these people have martial arts.

That would further explain the extraordinary status of the tall woman who got out of the carriage.

So he immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, please come in first to rest, and the younger one will inform the owner."

While talking, he also made a "please" gesture, and then led the way into the hall.

Enter from the gate, and after passing through the screen, you can see the stage in the middle.

There are colorful silks and satins hanging behind the stage, hanging down from the third floor, and people walking behind the silks and satins can be vaguely seen.

The stairs to go upstairs are on both sides of the entrance door, which can directly lead to the second floor.

Facing the hall stage are rows of booths.

According to Li Yuechen's suggestion, these booths are all separated by wooden boards to ensure that they will not be peeped from the side and rear, and only open on the front facing the stage, so as not to affect the line of sight.

On the table in front of the booth, the plates for placing fruits or other food are all made of transparent glass, which looks extremely luxurious.

The sofa also adopts the design of the Academy of Engineering. There are ventilation holes on the leather, and the inside is stuffed with fluff or cotton. It is soft and extremely comfortable to sit on.

And even in summer, it won't be too hot to sit. There are many ventilation windows in the hall to ensure the smooth flow of air convection.

The place facing the stage on the second floor is a more private private seat with better wrapping, which is convenient for some people to talk about things while watching the performance here.

Other places and the third floor are different private rooms, which are convenient for guests to stay overnight or talk about life with the waiters here.

At present, the sun has just set and the business has just started, so the hall is empty and no one can be seen.

Li Yuechen was watching from left to right, and Wu Luolan Xizhi had already walked over quickly with strictly trained steps, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Her Royal Highness!"

Hearing that, the young servant beside him was obviously startled, and immediately followed suit to salute.

At present, the staff of Lelou are all brought by Wu Luolan from her previous workplace, relatively speaking, they are all her team members, so I also know that the boss behind this Lelou is actually Princess Taiping.

But I never thought that the princess would come to such a dusty place in person.

At the same time, I was also wondering, I heard that the princess has always been dressed in red and men's clothes, why is she dressed like this today?

Li Yuechen didn't know the doubts in the boy's heart, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Excuse me, I have nothing to do today, so come and have a look..."

"Your Highness, please rest on the second floor with your subordinates." Wu Luolan bent down to lead the way, and then ordered the servant to pour tea.

Following Wu Luolan to an elegant seat on the second floor and sat down, Li Yuechen raised his legs and observed carefully.

I found that every private seat on the second floor was not small, and it didn't look crowded even with nearly twenty guards standing beside her.

Moreover, the combined sand here is enough to sit a dozen people, which can be described as quite open.

There are more than a dozen such areas, which surround the stage in the middle in a semicircle to ensure the best view.

Li Yuechen waved his hand and told the surrounding guards to sit down, and then said to Wu Luolan, "You sit too."

"How can a subordinate sit with His Highness..."

"I don't want to be too conspicuous, let's sit down." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

In fact, according to today's social atmosphere, princesses are not something worthy of gossip in entertainment venues.

But Li Yuechen felt that he should keep a low profile as much as possible.

So Wu Luolan agreed, and sat down on the sofa next to her.

"How's business here?"

"Returning to Your Highness, every day is getting better. Not only are there a lot of male customers, but also a large number of female customers..."

Urolan began to report little by little.

The servant also took advantage of this time to bring good tea, but was stopped by Xiaodong.

First, I tried it with a silver needle, and after finding out that there was no problem, I drank two cups myself, and after a while I was sure that there was no problem before sending it to the princess.

Li Yuechen sat on the sofa, listened to Wu Luolan's report, and nodded slightly.

Now this model is relatively new, and it has indeed attracted many customers.

However, there seem to be some disadvantages, that is, there are not many shows that can be performed, and many guests come here to find someone to play directly, and few are willing to watch performances in the hall.

Listening to such a report, Li Yuechen thought for a while: "Cultivate some other programs for your artists, such as drama or opera."

"May I ask Your Highness, what is this drama? What is the meaning of opera?"

"Ah, it's true that it hasn't appeared yet..."

Li Yuechen nodded: "Well, select a group of artists, arrange a rehearsal venue, and come back from the Japanese Palace tomorrow. The specific drama is..."

After roughly explaining the performance forms of drama and opera to her, Wu Luolan looked suddenly enlightened.

"So that's the case. The subordinates really didn't expect such a method!"

Faced with this novel way of performing, Wu Luolan saw infinite possibilities, so he immediately agreed and started preparing tomorrow.

While the two were chatting, as night fell, some guests began to take their seats one after another.

But because today is the [-]th day of the first lunar month and the Shangyuan holiday has not yet ended, the attendance rate is relatively bleak and there are not many people.

The performance on the stage also officially started, and several girls began to dance lightly on the notes.

The only pity is that in this era, even the dances in this kind of entertainment venues are graceful and graceful, not as explosive as pole dancing.

The only thing that looks better is the orchid dance, which is also dressed in a cool way, and its movements are more relaxed than the Han dance, but it can attract a lot of customers' satisfaction.

The rewards in this era are also simple and rude, that is, throwing copper coins on the stage, and there will be someone responsible for picking them up.

After the performers leave the stage, all the rewards will go to the performers.

It sounds like a bit of a loss, but in fact, even in the former brothel, this is the model.

Rewarding is not the same as consumption. Most people’s tipping means throwing a dozen or so copper coins for a gesture, and it is almost impossible to throw a lot of money.

Those who are capable of spending a lot of money must be in the private seats on the second floor.

For example, an aristocratic woman who was sitting next to Li Yuechen at this time looked young, that is, in her thirties, but there were two male public relations sitting beside her chatting with her.

The two people chatted with each other while pouring wine, made the woman laugh, and took out two jade pendants that looked good and handed them to them.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he ordered the servants around him to take a bunch of copper coins and throw them on the stage.

This string of copper coins looked like there were more than 100 coins, and they were thrown on the stage with a loud noise.

People in the hall exclaimed after seeing this scene, and then they couldn't help talking left and right, maybe they were discussing who was so generous and rewarded so much money all at once...

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen said suddenly: "In the future, if there is such a large reward again, remember to send someone down below to shout..."

"Dare to ask Your Highness, why is this?" Wu Luolan was puzzled, "People in private seats don't want to show their faces..."

"The people sitting in the hall below should have a different angle of view from here, so they shouldn't be able to see the people on the second floor?" Li Yuechen asked.

Wu Luolan nodded: "That's true, when it was originally designed, it was..."

"That's right!" Li Yuechen interrupted her, "Tell you, people live to pretend, no matter men or women..."

Think about it carefully, if someone throws a big reward on the second floor, the host below suddenly shouts: "Thank you for the reward of one hundred coins from the distinguished guest in the second room..."

Why are there different special effects for swiping different gifts in the live broadcast room?In essence, it is to make the person who throws money pretend to be coercive, so as to get psychological satisfaction.

For rich people, it doesn't matter if they spread money, but if they want to spread the money happily, they must be heard.

So Li Yuechen told her that the more rewards there will be in the future, there will be a different notification ceremony.

If necessary, arrange atmosphere groups between floors, with small flags in hand, and whistle and cheer when someone throws a big tip.

In short, the more money is spread, the grander the welcome ceremony will be.

As for whether the person who said that the person who spread the money should take advantage of the situation to show his face, it depends on the person's own opinion.

If you have that interest, stand up and let the people in the lobby on the first floor see you waving. If you don't want to, no one knows who he is.

"By the way, a VIP passage will be opened in the future, and guests on the second floor can leave from other places..." Li Yuechen remembered a little while talking.

Wu Luolan immediately agreed: "Yes, this subordinate will prepare immediately!"

Hearing so much from the princess today, I feel that my thinking has been broadened a lot.

……

As soon as Xu time passed, several groups of guests changed around Li Yuechen's private seat.

At the beginning, the aristocratic woman had already brought two male publicists to the room on the third floor to talk about her life, and the other male guests also started to go upstairs with the female publicist beside her.

Li Yuechen felt that it was about time for him to go back, as long as he knew the business was good, it was meaningless to stay here too late.

So he left under Wu Luolan's farewell, and when he came to the door, he suddenly said: "But let's not talk about it, your parking shed is doing a good job!"

A special shed was built outside the Lelou, so that the guests who came and went could park their carriages.

And also paint the frame on the ground for easy reference.

Wu Luolan replied with a smile: "It's thanks to His Highness's reminder, how could one of my subordinates think of such..."

"Well, it's all right. Anyway, this is a good idea. You need to work hard in the future. My living standard in the future is still counting on you."

Although she knew it was a joke, Wu Luolan quickly agreed: "Yes, please rest assured, Your Highness! This subordinate will definitely work hard!"

……

Back at the Princess Mansion, it was almost Haishi.

As soon as Li Yuechen entered, Shangguan Wan'er came over and asked, "Where did Your Highness go? Wan'er thought she had gone to another place again."

"Yo, I didn't expect you to talk in a weird way?" Li Yuechen smiled and pinched her face.

Then he explained: "Don't be afraid, you should stay in Dongdu most of the time in the future."

Hearing this guarantee, Shangguan Wan'er laughed, and then asked: "Can Your Highness have dinner?"

"No, just eat whatever you want."

As he said that, he told Fulai to go to the kitchen to see if there were any Hubing pans and bring them over.

Today, Fulai and Xiaohe are both in charge of the princess mansion, and they will accompany the two princesses Yiyang and Xuancheng to serve them on weekdays.

However, due to their age, the two elder sisters seldom command them. Most of the time, they just take care of the servants and have no other jobs.

After a while, Fulai brought a piece of mustache, and let Li Yuechen put it on his stomach.

Shangguan Wan'er poured a cup of hot tea: "Since His Highness is going to stay, I think His Highness King Xiang will be very happy."

"Hehe, he won't be free." Li Yuechen smiled with his legs on the table, "I still have to attend classes at school most of the time, and he still needs to manage many things in the Ministry of War for me."

Princess Xuancheng couldn't help laughing: "Prince Xiang must not be willing, and will definitely find various reasons to shirk..."

"Then I'll tell Mommy to make sure he's obedient!" Li Yuechen said that it's trivial and can be easily resolved.

To be honest, it's not a good thing that everyone likes to fish, it's better to have something to do.

Shangguan Wan'er asked again: "Then His Highness will focus on the school in the future?"

"That's right!" Li Yuechen nodded.

Cultivating the next generation is very important, so Li Yuechen still plans to focus on this.

However, there are still many things to be busy in the future. In addition to the bank draft, there are still some projects to focus on.

The telegraph project in Chang'an and Dongdu has already passed Tongguan and is expected to be fully completed in June or July this year.

Now the power generation equipment in the two places is about to be built, and she needs to pay more attention to this aspect.

Moreover, the second airship is expected to be completed in April. At that time, a flight route from the northern border to the eastern capital can be opened to strengthen the connection between the two places.

There is also good news, that is, after these years of experiments, the glass oil lamp is finally almost completed, and Li Yuechen wants to hand it over to the engineering institute in Dongdu for production.

There was already oil in this era, but it was not called by this name, but called "Weishui" or "Shizhi".

Similarly, there is no mining technology these days, only those that spew out from the ground can only be used.

People in this era don't understand the role of oil, and most of the time they are used to make ink, because there is a lot of black smoke when oil burns.

The separation technology of kerosene is not too difficult. Under Li Yuechen's guidance, craftsmen have successfully produced kerosene over the years, and the glass oil lamp naturally came into being.

This is the next product that Li Yuechen plans to launch.
