Chapter 389 Opening of Datang Entertainment City

"Have you heard? Datang No. [-] Entertainment City will open soon!"

In Chang'an City East City, a passer-by said to the person next to him.

"What is an entertainment city?" Someone asked in confusion.

The person who asked this question was either a person who didn't care about current affairs or an outsider, so there was a group of snorting voices around him, this person is really ignorant.

"I don't even know about the entertainment city. It's a place built by us Lantian Houbai in two months. It's in the south of Chang'an City, between the inner city and the outer city. I heard that several streets have been occupied, and all of them have been taken away. .

You can tell from the name that the entertainment city in the city must be quite big. "An insider showed off.

"After talking for a long time, what does the word entertainment mean?" Passerby B asked.

"I don't know the specifics. I heard from those propagandists that entertainment is a big slogan, including eating, drinking, and having fun. The reason why such a place was established is because Lord Hou considered that Datang lacked entertainment. Everyone You can't be a brothel all day long except for gambling!"

Speaking of this, everyone laughed out loud. It seems that this is really the case. Now that life is rich, the business of gambling houses and brothels is said to be very good, and they are full every day. What about villains.

"So this entertainment city is a place to have fun? Then, if it is really as fun as they say, who will come to Dongshi to have fun in the future?" Passer-by C worried, obviously this person should be Dongshi businessman.

"Actually, I don't think it's useful. What about multiple places to play? The Tang Dynasty has a curfew every day, and the entertainment city is still far away from us. How long can we play in a day?" Some sensible people pointed out the shortcomings.

"You haven't heard, have you? There are rumors that His Majesty approves of this and intends to lift the curfew! We can go out and play longer in the future!"

real?Many people were surprised.

"Hi! What's the use of talking nonsense here, I heard that someone over there is distributing slips of paper, all of which are introducing the entertainment city." Passerby A shouted.

Go, go, go and have a look!
A group of people flocked to find the team to promote the entertainment city. Scenes like this are everywhere in Chang'an City. This is Bai Fan's method. After the entertainment city is built, who knows if there is no publicity?
Datang is all rich people, and those who can live in the city are either rich or expensive, even merchants are big merchants, even if they have a storefront, they are all small and have a little money to spare.

In order to do enough publicity, Bai Fan not only sent out one by one to mobilize public opinion, but also spent a lot of paper to produce batches of leaflets, a street full of food, a street of night markets, wine entertainment, Song and dance event, happy big stage, only you can't think of it, without us we can't do it!
Such propaganda sentences are easy to understand, but they are confusing. In the past, poverty limited everyone's imagination, but now many people are poor, but knowledge limits everyone's imagination.

Chang'an streets and alleys are full of such news, all talking about the opening of the entertainment city in three days.

And in the noble area of ​​the court hall, Bai Fan rarely took advantage of the big court meeting to go up to the court by himself. After getting Li Er's permission, Bai Fan started collective publicity when the court meeting was over and no one left.

"My lords and colleagues, in order to enrich the lives of our people and create a perfect Tang people's livelihood, Your Majesty has ordered the establishment of the first entertainment city in the Tang Dynasty. It was finally completed in two months, and the entertainment city will be opened three days later. The celebration, my brother sincerely invites everyone to come and watch the ceremony."

"Haha, let me tell you why Jianzhi went to court today. It turns out that he came here for business." Qin Qiong laughed.

"What do you have in this entertainment city? I heard that you have been constructing it for two months, and the stall you have tossed is not small." Li Ji asked.

"There is everything, one-stop service for food, drink, entertainment, and guarantee that those who have visited will never forget it. After going once, I want to go there for the second time. When the time comes, Brother Mao must come to join us!

And you old brothers, brother, whether you lose or make money in this business depends on your support. "Bai Fan shouted.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed out loud, and he was probably the only one who dared to openly discuss business in the court hall.

"Humph! Wanwu Shangzhi, the majestic Marquis of Lantian of the Tang Dynasty, is selling business in this Tai Chi hall, promoting eating, drinking and having fun. It's really going downhill. Don't let this kid make you fall. It's justified to be busy with state affairs."

An untimely voice came, and without looking back, everyone knew who dared to throw cold water at this time, and there was no one else except Wei Zheng, who was stubborn and stubborn.

In the early years, there might have been Bai Fan's political enemies and old ministers, but those who opposed Bai Fan over the years were convinced by the rectification, and no one would speak up when Bai Fan was messing around. Forget about it, and with the name of the nemesis of the Bai Fan family, there are very few people who dare to offend him.

But Wei Zheng is not in this list, he is not afraid of anyone, even the emperor dares to hate, how can he be afraid of Bai Fan, the two are confidantes and enemies, they often fight each other, but sometimes Bai Fan will drink with Wei Zheng.

"Okay, old Wei, don't blame me. I built an entertainment city for the people's livelihood. Otherwise, the city will be full of casinos and brothels. This is not a good thing. The people have money and we need to build places for them to spend money. You You can object, but please reserve your opinion, if you don’t want to try to get it, I don’t have enough seats!” Bai Fan sneered at Wei Zheng.

"Don't even think about it, kid. The old man finally waited for a holiday. How capable are you to prevent me from going out to relax?" Wei Zheng scolded with a smile.

Everyone laughed, this old man is enlightened, it's just that he has a stubborn mouth, but in fact he still can distinguish right from wrong in his heart.

The time is fast, and the heated discussion in Chang'an City has just reached its peak. With the strong expectations of the people, the opening day of the entertainment city has arrived. Li Er deliberately issued an order to lift the curfew for three days. Although there is no publicity for the entertainment city, everyone knows What does it mean.

Bai Fan chose to open at night, because the entertainment city will focus on evening entertainment in the future. He really wants to promote Tang Dynasty entertainment and improve people's lives. It is most effective to enrich everyone's night life. It is reasonable to work during the day and relax at night. It can also release stress and contribute to social stability.

Accompanied by a string of [-] red firecrackers, the gate of the entertainment city was opened and never closed again.

This firecracker was also developed by Bai Fan by the Taoists. Black powder and red paper were easily produced, and Bai Fan has a formula. This gunpowder is much stronger than the black powder of the local method, so take it out now Immediately, it won the applause of the common people, especially the red carpet that was blown out. Anyone who came here would say it was a joy.

When the entertainment city opened, hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City University had already taken action, and many people gathered outside the city gate at dusk.

In order to avoid problems such as riots and accidents, Bai Fan specially borrowed an army of 1 people to maintain order, and arranged people to line up at dusk.

After the gate was opened, the first person to enter the city was not the emperor Li Er, but the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan who was specially invited by Bai Fan. Next to Li Yuan, as a tour guide, he introduced the various structures of the entertainment city.
