Datang first village

After the first course, the main course starts immediately. .

Eight cold dishes, four meat and four vegetables, this replaces the original kanban.

Li Er said to the cabinet master: "Wu Lang likes to be practical in his work, and he has changed a lot of the rules of the palace. He said that watching the plate was originally a ritual, but Wu Lang said that it is not interesting to see or eat, so he changed it." It has become a cold appetizer that can be eaten, and the common people like it, and the Ministry of Rites made a fuss about it for a while, but now it is recognized."

The cabinet master nodded slightly.

"Erlang talked about small things. The things between Goro and the Ministry of Rites are just trivial things. In this palace, in just two years, Goro actually reduced me by nearly 3000 people. Sometimes I still think, Is this because Wu Lang wants to save the cost of the palace!" Li Yuan just appeared and shouted from a distance.

Li Yuan went back to Chang'an first, and only then appeared, but he didn't know what he was busy with.

This meeting came to the venue, heard the conversation from a distance, and took over the topic.

Li Yuanxing didn't explain either. Anyway, the matter has already been done, and it may be changed back.

Li Yuan sat down, picked up a glass of wine and downed it.Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Actually, Goro did the right thing. He first reduced three thousand court ladies, and then found an excuse to reduce another three thousand. Most of these people entered the weaving workshop. The one who really made the Supreme Emperor have objections was not Because the manpower in the palace has been reduced."

"Why is that?" The cabinet master became more curious.

Empress Changsun explained: "Goro came back from Lingnan and disbanded four of the six bureaus in the palace. Among them were those in charge of making clothes in the palace, making jewelry in the palace, the Jade Bureau, and those in charge of building houses, as well as the imperial hospital. Whether it's eunuchs, court ladies, and officials with special duties, all leave the palace!"

This is very powerful, the people in the palace can say that more than [-]% of them are missing.

Li Er also had some minor opinions, but the president, Empress Sun, was talking, so Li Er chose to listen.

"Goro kept two, one is called the Internal Service Bureau, and there is a senior female official. The name of the function is not yet confirmed. Then this bureau is divided into several small functions, and each has a Shang Gong. They are procurement, Kitchens, gardens, building repairs, maintenance and maintenance of utensils. Then there is the Department of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of the chores and personnel in the palace."

After the empress Changsun explained this, the master of the cabinet understood.

Li Yuanxing took away all the processing and work in the palace.

All that remains are those responsible for maintenance.

"Actually!" Li Yuanxing finally explained.Li Er also immediately said: "Brother Wei, I want to hear what Wu Lang's opinion on this matter is. Back then, your sister-in-law supported you all the way, but I heard you give the reason!"

"The craftsmen in the palace are all superb craftsmen. As much as there is in the palace, those who use a lot will need more craftsmen. If there is less use, it is a waste for the craftsmen to idle. So these people, no matter Whether it’s clothing, jewelry, or jade, it’s a waste of manpower.”

"What about the cost of the palace?" Li Er asked.

"Let them open shops and workshops outside the palace. In fact, these people are not idle, and their income is also good. The most important point is that I didn't let him open only one shop. The jade part is digitally superb. Jade craftsmen, they don't necessarily obey anyone, so I support the Qin Palace and open four shops in total. If the emperor uses jade in the future, the four shops will definitely compete for this business, so they will naturally work harder and improve their skills , the goods will be better."

"That's all, that's all!" Li Yuan heard the doorway.

But Li Yuan was the first to raise objections, so he will not support it.Let alone let Li Yuanxing finish explaining the truth, he will lose face when the time comes.So he interrupted the conversation: "Anyway, things are already like this. Wulang, the Nine Dragon Cup you mentioned must be rectified. If it is worse than the original one in the palace, I will settle the score with you again!"

Li Yuanxing also knew what Li Yuan meant, so he smiled and didn't say any more.

In fact, Li Yuanxing is full of confidence, because only competition can make progress.

"Musicians and dancers in the palace. These are the next step to leave the palace. Don't be angry, brother, because your musicians are really not good. They work behind closed doors. How can they compete with those musicians in Chang'an City every day? In comparison, for the first show today, Brother Huang, listen to the so-called No. [-] singer in Chang'an..."

Li Yuanxing was talking, but Li Er interrupted Li Yuanxing.

"Goro, you said that Chang'an is number one, and the number one in your eyes is different from mine."

Empress Changsun just laughed.

Who is the number one singing girl in Chang'an, this question has actually been quarreled for a while when Li Yuanxing was fighting around.That is, Li Yuan and Li Er disagreed.

The cold dishes are basically ready, and the wine is on the table.

There are more than 300 people, divided into four camps, which are from the four major pavilions in Chang'an.They are the Treading Building in Leminyuan, which was held up by Li Yuanxing, and the Xianyin Pavilion and Tianle Building, which went out of the imperial palace and stood on their own.There is another one that used to be in the brothel background, with Jiaosifang as the backstage. According to the red building, it is now renamed Feiyanlou.

That counts as a change.

In Chang'an City, there are already very obvious bands and opera houses.These high-end consumer places are clearly different from brothels, and the old brothels are also undergoing transformation.

What Li Yuan supported was a young maid in the original palace. Who would have thought that after leaving the palace with Le Fang, her beautiful voice, coupled with the etiquette education of the palace, would make her a celebrity in Chang'an City in no time, it was considered A little star.

What Li Er supported was someone from the Treading Tower, who was famous for her bright voice. In modern times, she would be a soprano.

"Why not, vote." Wu Zhao suggested.

"How to vote?" Li Er and Li Yuan asked at the same time.

"Each person is limited to ten votes for each category, and each vote is one hundred coins. The income is used for the Chang'an City Shanyi Museum!"

Wu Zhao's proposal was quickly accepted, not only by Li Yuan and Li Er, but also by many nobles in the Tang Dynasty.Originally, these four families had the heart of a great competition, and they were not only competing in singing, but also in dancing.This is the earliest opera of the Tang Dynasty, which integrates plot, singing and dancing.

To be able to perform in the palace, it is natural to compete.

The original idea was that the nobles here have seen it, and they will be able to compete more or less.

But this time, voting was used, and the one with the most votes was naturally the number one in Chang'an. This must not be resigned, and the four families secretly made up their minds.

Li Yuanxing is not very interested in these.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's chief eunuch took out a pair of mahjong, and Li Yuan said cheerfully, "Goro, I'll give you a chance to turn over the book. It was soaked and a coat of paint was added at the end.”

Li Yuanxing said in his heart that Li Yuan returned to Chang'an in advance because of this set of mahjong.

Li Yuanxing is really not good at playing mahjong, he has never regarded himself as a master.Turning around: "Grandpa and Lan Shan are here to fight, I'm not interested in this thing!"

"Hahaha!" Li Yuan laughed heartily: "It's a lie if you're not interested, and it's true that you can't win Goro!"

Goro shrugged, but didn't respond at all.It was Wu Zhao who rushed to say, "I am against my father." After finishing speaking, staring at Li Lanshan, it seemed that even mahjong was going to be compared.

Li Yuanxing smiled, and prepared to go to the square with the wine bottle.

Li Yuanxing likes the banquet style of Tang Dynasty, only during the banquet, there are not so many rules.You can dance if you want, you can sing if you want.Once the banquet started, those ranks seemed to be forgotten. I remember that during the New Year in the second year of Zhenguan, when he got drunk, Lao Cheng dared to put his arm on the shoulder of the also drunk Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty.

The Ministry of Rites did not propose impeachment for such behavior.

In the square, in addition to performing on stage on the fourth floor in turn, there are many small stages in the corners.

Among them are cross talk, magic, and acrobatics.

In the easternmost garden of the square, there were even people setting up tables for gambling.

When Li Yuanxing walked over, Lao Cheng was in charge of the bank, and he shouted from a distance: "Wu Lang, why don't you take out all those stones, so that you can gamble and have a good time."

There are still rough stones, and there were not many opened in the first place, but now there must be about three to five tons.

"That's fine, this bet is a lot of money." Li Yuanxing put down a silver coin on the table with a smile: "Bet big!"

Li Yuanxing doesn't care whether he wins or loses, he just wants to have fun.

Seeing Li Yuanxing here, Cui Junsu also leaned over: "His Royal Highness, today is a grand event. The famous craftsmen in Chang'an City are all present. It seems that someone is challenging Jinyaqi. There are many people around, just wait and see The results of it."

Li Yuanxing laughed: "General Cheng is planning to gamble with stones."

"That's good, but it can't be now. That should be the finale." Cui Junsu walked aside while talking. Li Yuanxing realized that he might have something to say, so he also walked aside.

The two chatted and reached a place where there was no one, Cui Junsu said in a low voice: "Today's expenditure will be paid by the Ministry of Households, or by the Prince Qin's Mansion?"

Li Yuanxing did not expect that Cui Junsu would say this to himself, and it was just at the beginning of the banquet.But this is a serious matter, so Li Yuanxing asked back: "According to Cui Shangshu's opinion, it should come out there!"

"This banquet is originally a state affair, and it should be held by the Ministry of Households. But my opinion is to let Qin Wangfu do it. The reason is that if it is defined as a royal family banquet this time, it is reasonable. Another way of saying is that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, even if It’s because the New Year’s celebration didn’t cost as much as this time, and the censor will have something to say in the future!”

Cui Junsu's reason is reasonable.

Cui Junsu added: "Actually, the Ministry of Household Affairs is now on a budget system. It's not that the money can't be paid out, but the accounts are a bit troublesome."

"Then let's go out from Prince Qin's Mansion."

Li Yuanxing readily agreed.

Afterwards, Li Yuanxing said again: "It's better to find a reason to establish a rule. There must always be a limit to spending money in the harem. It is inevitable that there will be things where there will be no restraint in spending money in the future!"

Cui Junsu didn't dare to answer, but he knew what Li Yuanxing was alluding to.For example, Yang Guang went on tour! (To be continued.)
