Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 384 Another Good Banquet

While the living room on the first floor was discussing endlessly about bicycles and tricycles, in the living room of the female guests on the second floor, the Empress Changsun and a group of ladies were not idle either. They first looked at the two babies and teased and praised them After a while, they each took out some of their own parenting scriptures and chattered endlessly until Empress Changsun talked to Yu Xiuer about the playground, and then everyone calmed down and listened to her two conversations.

"Two days ago, when Zhengming and his brother Bengong were drinking at Wangjiang Tower, they mentioned that the playground next to Qujiang Pool was too small for children from Chang'an and surrounding areas to play. Later, my brother went to the palace to look for it. Your Majesty, I want to build a few more places in Chang'an City, I don't know Xiu'er, have you ever heard Zhengming mention it?"

"Don't you know him yet? As long as it doesn't require him to do specific things, he doesn't take it very seriously. If the empress finds a good place in the city, Xiu'er can call the shots and call the workshop in Xingfu Village to help. Build some recreational facilities and give them to the empress." Yu Xiuer smiled and said.

Over the years, she has also dealt with Empress Changsun a lot, so she naturally knows her character. When she is short of money, she is not even allowed to use more fabric for her own skirt. If I personally mentioned the amusement park to myself, I am afraid that I want to get this business over and make money for the royal family.

In terms of benefits, Yu Xiu'er was much more generous than Sun Xiangfu, she opened her mouth and gave it away for nothing, which made Empress Changsun very satisfied.

Of course, she can't hold on to her status as a queen and come to the minister's house to play the autumn wind. Moreover, in terms of face, she must have a passable saying, and people can't say that she is doing business for profit. The playground is not for profit, but just to create a place for children in Chang'an to play, but Zhengming also said before that charity that spends money for nothing will not last long.

Therefore, you can't let your Sun's residence follow the palace's investment in vain. After the venue opens, some admission fees will be charged at the initial stage. After the cost of the land and facilities is paid back from the operating income, these venues can be opened to the public for free. It is open for all children to play freely. "

Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er was still a little dazed, did Empress Changsun change her temper?
The concubines in the harem were also in a daze like her. The royal family did not do business. That is already a thing of the past. Ever since Sun Xiangfu fought against the officials in the court, the court later defined all transactions that were not hoarding as normal and reasonable. And after the necessary social needs, the royal family will launch several new businesses almost every year, but no one has been impeached by the court, because everyone is doing it.

At this time, the ladies in the living room who are turning their heads faster have already begun to praise the empress's benevolence. This playground is almost a profitable business that can be seen, and the empress only pays back the cost. It is free and open to the outside world, which can be regarded as invisible, and it has donated a large sum of money to the people, and it is a long-term donation.

However, what they didn't know was that when Sun Xiangfu was drinking with his eldest grandson Wuji that day, he talked about a lot of Shanyang's development models. Like a racecourse, his own lottery sales can't sell much, but it can drive the entire gaming industry. Even if the army competition in Shanyang has long since ended, there are still many rich children from all over the world staying in Shanyang. The purpose is to For betting on horses.

The biggest function of the playground is to attract adults and children from all the squares of Chang'an City to play, and as long as people gather to play, there will naturally be a lot of business.

Clothing, toys, and food are all points of profit. Sun Xiangfu built Shanyang into a flower city in order to attract more people to play in Shanyang. At present, Datang's economy is not very developed, and this potential has not yet exploded In the future, the economic value it can bring to Shanyang cannot be underestimated.

How could the smarter grandson Wuji fail to understand this!

Therefore, the amusement park was originally intended to let Empress Changsun earn fame. As long as the funds are available, he will stop charging as soon as possible, because after it is free, it will continue to bring prestige to Empress Changsun. For this reason, Changsun Wuji The origin of this free playground will be engraved on the stone tablet in front of the gate of the playground.

Of course, if Sun Xiangfu was in charge of this matter, he would definitely be bolder. It would be more effective to directly name the playground "Queen's Playground".

And its surrounding industries are things that can really bring long-term benefits to Empress Changsun. After Yu Xiuer and Sun Xiangfu got married, although she has been in charge of the family's property, she may not be very good in business. Anyway, what Empress Changsun said So, so she is, basically just nodding in agreement.

"The empress is benevolent, this move will benefit all the children in Guanzhong, and Xiu'er will definitely support it."

"That's very good. Later, I will ask people to hand over the locations of several places to your husband and wife for final selection. After the decision is made, how to start construction, just inform the President Sun's Mansion."

Empress Changsun nodded in satisfaction. What she likes most is Yu Xiu'er. She is never greedy for profit and is easy to talk about. So, after this good start, the next thing will be easy to talk about.

Her appetite is not just for playgrounds. She is interested in Shanyang's entire business profit model. Changsun Wuji told her that Chang'an wants to imitate Shanyang's full set of business models. Then, how do some small shops with special characteristics operate? , all need the support of the Sun House, such as milk tea shops, cake shops, all kinds of food, jewelry stores, low-end consumption restaurants, teahouses for listening to books, etc., etc., she wants to build them all.

Others open shops one by one, but she wants to open one by one, because she knows the direction of the policy and can prepare the whole layout in advance. If the Sun House contributes to this process, she will not Mind sharing [-] to [-]% of the profits to them.

If there is no accident, what she will hand over to Yu Xiuer from now on, besides the location of the playground, must also be the block planning map of the entire Chang'an City. The shops will all be the property of Empress Changsun.How can it be a small business to let the empress and empress come to talk in person?
And to do such a big business requires capital. Another purpose of Empress Changsun is to get some cash for the harem treasury, so that Li Shimin can distribute coal to the poor and cotton-padded clothes and rice noodles to the elderly in winter.

Therefore, her goal is actually to sell the shares of this business that is sure to make money in the future to the ladies present at a high price. This is her way of cashing out. Yu Xiuer is so generous, how about other ladies? Cowardly, sometimes, women spend money more ruthlessly than men. Even women who don't have financial power at home, after returning home, I'm afraid they will blow pillows to the men in the family and ask them to send money to the harem.

Generally speaking, the banquet scene in Sun's Mansion was lively. Li Shimin and many ministers tried riding tricycles in the living room, but they didn't dare to let them ride the bicycles until it was almost noon when the carriage from Xingfu Village arrived at Sun's Mansion. Finally, this made everyone see the difference between rickshaws and horse-drawn carriages.

Because, even the kind of good horses and cars prepared by Xingfu Village cannot run for about a hundred miles in a row. It takes more than half an hour for the horses to rest halfway, and there is a gap in speed. The car came to Marseilles and they arrived more than an hour late.

At this time, the steward from the Wangjiang Tower came to inform Sun Xiangfu that the banquet was ready, and then Sun Xiangfu led many guests to the Wangjiang Tower, which was less than [-] meters away.

When winter comes, wealthy households in Chang’an City like to crowd into Wangjianglou, for skits, cross talks, and the latest dramas, only here are the best ones.

Therefore, they had a lot of complaints about the booking of the Wangjiang Tower. Fortunately, most of the truly powerful people in Chang'an City stayed at Sun Xiangfu's house today, and there was no disharmony.

The tables in the hall have been rearranged, just like the last time when Li Shimin entertained Dong Zhu here, dozens of large tables were placed around the stage on the first floor, enough for all the guests to sit and watch the stage from the best perspective. performance.

Before the dishes were served, performances began on the stage. It seemed that Yao Hongxiu and Li Xiangdie had a lot of performances lined up. After all, this banquet usually lasted until the afternoon or even dusk.

"You are the wind, I am the sand, lingering around the world..."

What was performed on the stage was not the plot of a certain national TV series in later generations, but Sun Xiangfu took this song out as the theme song for a story written by Yu Xiuer when she was bored during her pregnancy. The overall plot of this story is still being arranged. It is a love story between a Han general and a grassland princess.

The Khan in the grassland wanted to invade the Han, and he had a deadly enmity with the Han general. He disagreed with this pair of lovers who met in an unexpected situation and fell in love with each other. For all kinds of suffering and separation, of course, the final outcome is that the two people through various efforts, resolved the war between the two clans, made the two clans live in harmony, and finally became husband and wife, and everyone was happy.

It is not so easy to change the hatred between the people of the two ethnic groups. Except for Yu Xiuer, Sun Xiangfu also gave orders to all the members of the performing arts group. There must be more stories with similar themes, even if they are not changed. Editing, multiple rehearsals, and multiple performances, as long as you watch more, the people will naturally accept it in their hearts.

"Although this song has a bit of a decadent taste, it's also very pleasant to listen to. Is it also written by Zhengming?"

"Hehe, that's right. However, the music of the decadent also has its uses, and it will be easier for good men and women to like it. This story will be tear-jerking and make people want to stop, but its ultimate theme is to promote national integration, Your Majesty." You understand."

In Li Shimin's opinion, the idea of ​​using this kind of song, dance and drama to promote national integration is simply a stroke of genius. Li Shimin has already seen the specific effect in Mobei.

However, Li Shimin is not good at these achievements that are slow to bear fruit. Now he can reward Sun Xiangfu. After seeing an excerpted performance on the stage, Li Shimin is even more looking forward to what the show in Weinan will be like for the workers. Well, Ma Zhou has been so busy recently that he never left the construction site, so even if Li Shimin promoted him a few levels, he didn't return to Chang'an to thank him, and he didn't even come to the banquet at the Sun's residence.

Sun Xiangfu is the master today, not only to accompany Li Shimin, but also to accompany the ministers. Therefore, he drank the most frequently, and after drinking more than half a catty, he was already six or seven points drunk. , Some things that I usually want to say but dare not say, are said in public.

"Your Majesty, all the court ministers, is the joy here pleasant to hear?"

"Pleasant to hear..."

There are many people who are less able to drink than Sun Xiangfu, like Li Shimin, who is bound to be regarded as the protagonist in a normal banquet, and now he is probably a little bit more drunk than Sun Xiangfu. The same, holding the glass up, looking up at Sun Xiangfu at the wine table, and replying with a slightly wide tongue.

"Is the dance here moving?"

"moving······"

The rhythm of the dancers is good, and people will unconsciously want to twist, especially in the early Tang Dynasty when Hu Feng culture was popular, so everyone used the word moving to describe the quality of the dance.

"Is the dish here delicious?"

"tasty······"

"Is the wine here sweet?"

"Glycol..."

"However, we didn't make use of so many beautiful things." Sun Xiangfu suddenly changed his style of painting, and said in a dark tone.

"What do you mean?" Li Shimin put down his glass and asked, although his tongue was numb by the wine, but his mind was still clear.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Kucha Kingdom is a small country with a radius of less than [-] li, but its music has made my whole Tang Dynasty popular, sought after by the people, and they have learned it one after another.

Kang Guo also has a radius of less than [-] miles. The Hu Xuan Dance is prevalent in the country, and all the daughters of the family will learn to dance!

There is also Gaochang State, which has a radius of less than a thousand miles. The Sanle pulp produced by it once dominated the wine market in the Tang Dynasty for many years. Up to now, many wine shops are selling large quantities at expensive prices.

A small country can let its own culture and products go out, so that people all over the world can like, imitate, and use them. Why can’t I go out with so many beautiful things in the great Tang Dynasty, so that they can all learn from us and admire us? , use what we make? "

After Sun Xiangfu's words came to this point, even many people on the field who were still sober began to reflect, especially Li Shimin, who had already heard the deeper things in Sun Xiangfu's words.

　Four thousand chapters are presented, thanks to the fallen and the wind for the reward, the first one this month, I will keep it in my heart.In addition, ask for a monthly ticket, recommend a ticket, do you want to add more next month?If all the votes are cast, it will definitely be added.
