God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 980 Failure
Li Ke shook his head and said: "Lizhi, you don't know something. I have encountered a problem. My father asked me to promote dramas, so that ordinary people can watch dramas like listening to books. I was full of confidence at first, but now I encounter problems. It’s a big trouble, I’m here to ask the teacher for advice!”

Li Lizhi still wanted to ask questions, but was signaled to leave by Du He.

Du He turned around, looked at Li Ke with a smile, and said, "Your Highness is one of the strongest men in the Tang Dynasty... how can such a trivial matter stump you!"

"No," Li Ke said excitedly, "Teacher, you don't know. I built ten small theaters in Chang'an. I originally wanted the common people to watch dramas, but guess what, after the news spread, our There is no one to patronize the Chang'an Grand Theater, if this continues, my money will be in vain. Teacher, you have to save me!"

Du He asked: "Your Highness wants to make money?"

"Yes!"

"Then close those small theaters, and the Chang'an Grand Theater will naturally be overcrowded. The daily income of the Chang'an Grand Theater cannot be compared with a hundred small theaters."

Li Ke's eyes widened: "But, isn't that against Father's will? Originally, I thought Father had almost forgotten about it. When I entered the palace a few days ago, he brought it up again, saying that he wanted me Get this matter done before, otherwise you will blame me, what do you think it should be?"

Du He smiled, and asked: "Your Highness thinks, not only to make money, but also to fulfill Father's orders?"

"That's right!"

"It's difficult...it's not impossible! As the saying goes, people move living trees and die!" Du He's smile gradually became unfathomable.

Li Ke scratched his head and looked at Du He anxiously: "Teacher, what do you mean?"

Du He: "..."

He simply put it bluntly: "The reason is also very simple, His Highness just close all the newly built small theaters."

"Then I'm not at a loss?"

"Your Highness, this is called stopping losses in time. If you really start those small theaters, the Chang'an Grand Theater will definitely fall into a slump. Maybe dramas will also decline because of this. At that time, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" Du He kindly explained.

"But," Li Ke scratched his head and struggled, "I understand the truth, but if I close all those small theaters, wouldn't it be against my father's will? At that time, my father can find a reason to shut down I did it."

Du He said again: "His Royal Highness, don't be impatient, I have a plan..."

After finishing speaking, he leaned into Li Ke's ear and whispered something.

The more Li Ke listened, the more excited he became.

Snapped.

He patted his thigh, "Wonderful, teacher, your plan is really seamless, I'll do it now!"

Saying that, the little black fat man excitedly got on his horse, waved his whip, and walked away.

……

ten days later.

All the twelve extended carriages newly built by the furniture factory have been completed.

Twelve extended carriages, numbered [-] to [-].

In the early morning of this day, when the gate of Yongning Gate opened, a group of soldiers guarding the city came out first.

The soldiers were carrying their spears and yawning, but all of a sudden, they all stopped and stared in front of them dumbfounded.

On a spacious open space in Wangnan of Yongning Gate, a square plot has been surrounded by wooden stakes half a person's height.

Inside, twelve extended carriages lined up.

Next to it, a two-person-high wooden sign stands, with three large characters written on it: Chang'an Station.

Afterwards, all the merchants and common people in the city came out, and everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

An extended carriage slowly drove out to the gate of the city.

Two coachmen driving the carriage stood on the carriage and shouted loudly: "From Chang'an to Hu County, you only need five Wen, and five Wen can take you to Hu County!"

"Five Wen, only five Wen!"

"You can go to Huxian County with five renminbi!"

"Children only need two pennies!"

The two coachmen yelled very hard.

People also stepped forward to watch.

Seeing this strange carriage, everyone talked a lot.

Everyone is familiar with the extended carriage that pulls bricks and coal, but it is the first time that everyone sees a human carriage.

Then, a young man in blue clothes came over with a box in his arms and yelled: "From Chang'an to Hu County, it only costs five renminbi, five renminbi for adults, and two renminbi for children. Whoever exceeds the pole in my hand is considered an adult. Set off after a stick of incense."

He took out a stack of papers from the box and introduced to everyone that after buying this ticket, he could take a carriage to Huxian County. There was also a station like this in Huxian County, and from there, he could return to Chang'an with five renminbi.

It's a pity that there are many people watching the excitement, but there is no one who buys tickets.

On the contrary, many people pointed and pointed.

"I heard that this carriage was used to pull coal in the past, but now it is used to carry people. It is unlucky!"

"That's right, you can go to Hu County with five renminbi? Who would believe it!"

"I heard it belongs to Dream Group. Dream Group can trust everything, but this big carriage is not!"

"Yeah, everyone, don't go, for fear of being cheated!"

"I'm still worried that the carriage will fall apart!"

Driven by these people, naturally no one is willing to try.

No matter how hard the yelling coachman works, or how the young ticket seller explains, no one is willing to buy a ticket.

Five cents is not much, but people are resistant to new things, and they naturally have a kind of fear.

On the tower, Li Lizhi and Du Jinwei watched this scene, and couldn't help showing disappointed expressions.

Du Jinwei sighed: "It turns out that Second Uncle can be unreliable sometimes!"

Li Lizhi rubbed her eyes, "Because of this big carriage, the princess stayed up for several days in a row just to make money. I never thought how to make money now that there is no one. These carriages seem ordinary. But the cost is expensive, it seems that I am afraid it will fail!"

Two beauties, one big and one small, looked at each other speechlessly.

……

Outside the Tai Chi Hall.

The ministers went out one after another.

As Gao Shilian was walking, he suddenly heard two officials discussing in front of him, and in a trance he heard such words as carriage and Duhe.

He couldn't help going up, and asked curiously: "My lords, what are you talking about? Could it be related to Du He?"

One of the officials chuckled: "Master Gao, you don't know yet, do you? I heard that Dream Group built twelve large carriages yesterday and parked them outside Yongning Gate. Your Excellency only needs five cents to take this large carriage to go to the city. County, you can also take a big carriage for five cents to come back. This price is really cheap, but guess what, no one rides it. The people all say that this big carriage is a trick, and they would rather walk than take a carriage. ... This morning, it seems to be the same, there are rumors in Chang'an City that Du He is the best at making money, and can make money in everything, and now it seems that this rumor is about to be shattered."

"Is there such a thing?" Gao Shilian was in a good mood when he heard this, "Du He has done bad things, and he deserves his retribution. The people today are no longer the people before, so how can they be deceived by his little tricks, haha Ha ha……"

Gao Shilian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and walked out of the palace gate.
