799 carnival
"What! Running out of place? ”
"Yes! Otherwise~ you see I have a tent here and an RV, otherwise, you can make do with it! ”
I could only say helplessly to Cheng Yanjin.
After all, all the rooms in the city are occupied by the people, so you can't drive people out to make room for it!
In addition, Yamen is not suitable for entertaining the Cheng family. After all, the two princesses took their guards together and lived in the yamen temporarily.
So I could only provide the Cheng family with a large number of tents and an RV to live in temporarily. And the RV is still the 'Xuanjia Iron Award'......
It's just that Cheng Yanjin shook his head and rejected my proposal. He didn't want an RV. just asked me for a lot of tents, and then the Cheng family actually took the tents and lived in the military camp outside the city.
I don't even know what to say when I see this. Is this a military camp as your own home? But I thought about it when I went to Yanmen Pass, and I also lived in the barracks like this~ So this should be the habit of the military bigwigs!
In this case, I can be regarded as a family member of the reception process! That~ Now let's take a look at what His Majesty the Emperor is doing! It's all been sent to me, and it doesn't seem appropriate to go over again! After all, that's the emperor!
It's just that I don't know where their 'micro-service private visit' went! But if there are two princesses who are used as 'beacons' to guide the way~ I estimate that if I go to the place where the princess is now, I can at least find out the news of His Majesty the Emperor. I believe that with the degree of favor that His Majesty the Emperor has for the two princesses, then he will definitely go to see them first when he arrives in Crescent City.
I think that even if His Majesty the Emperor is a private visit, there will be a lot of guards who are secretly protecting him! After all, this is not Chang'an City. The safety of the emperor still needs to be considered.
The whereabouts of the two princesses are still relatively easy to find, and where they are the most lively, they must be there. I just don't know what these two crazy girls will be like after all the facilities of this carnival are installed.
Thinking of this, I suddenly had a sense of foreboding, as if I had forgotten something!
"Wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten about the safety training of those rides! It's broken, it won't happen! ”
Fortunately, when I ran to the large entertainment facilities with the most people, I realized that the students of the academy had taken responsibility for the safety issues that I had forgotten to instruct. Now it seems that these students have spontaneously come to the amusement equipment to become safety guards and waiters. While paying attention to the safety of the equipment, he also explained the precautions required to everyone who uses these facilities, such as the safety belt must not be unfastened, and the person must not carry small items on the body.
I really didn't expect these students to take the initiative to help me plug the security loopholes that I had forgotten! Originally, I just let the men who stayed in the city to serve as servants manage and operate these equipment, after all, those people did not have to pay wages, and after they were sent to my command by the imperial court, they have been idle except for the construction of two cities. There is more than a month left before the end of their conscription. That's why I'm thinking about making the best use of their labor force. This led me to ignore the issue of security directly. Fortunately, the students of the academy are clever!
"Hmmm! We'll have to reward them well! Perhaps, they will simply share a portion of the money they make from these entertainment facilities......"
After I put my mind at ease, I saw that the two princesses really looked like they were playing crazy, and they actually used the game consoles on various amusement stalls to bet and drink with people? Anyway, that's not what this thing is for! Obviously, it's a penny to play once, and if you win, you can get a prize such as a small bottle, a small jar or a small snack. Now they actually use these game consoles such as whack-a-mole, ring and duck hunting to fight with the people of the girlfriend group, especially when they see the people who follow them holding a large number of various wine tanks in their hands, and everyone, including the guards, is blushing and thick-necked by alcohol, I know that these people have gone completely crazy~ In other words, if His Majesty the Emperor sees his two princesses become like this, he won't blame me!
"Eh~ Do you want to stop it?" I muttered a little uncertainly.
I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor has been here, if he has come and seen the appearance of the two princesses, he didn't care~ Then the follow-up will definitely blame me and these guards! But if the emperor hadn't seen the princess yet, wouldn't it be better for me to forcibly send them to the warehouse to hide them first, and then force them to rest and sober up?
Just doing this, I will definitely offend the two princesses and those girlfriends~ There are also awards mixed in. I have long heard from the people in the girlfriend group that you can't disturb them when you drink, otherwise these people will go crazy with alcohol. And Xiao Lizhen's girl also learned this trick with the people in the girlfriend group!
So if I really forcibly send them into the warehouse to sober up by the way, the people in the girlfriend group will definitely make a big fuss first, and the two princesses may also make a big fuss in the warehouse...... I'm going to completely offend their tough girls! Although I won't be held against him, it's certain that I'll be beaten up, although I don't care about these things at all now, but being beaten by a bunch of women will definitely not look good...... I don't want to have another name that 'even a woman can't beat' among the various nomties that have already spread throughout Chang'an City...... Although there are not many people in the entire Chang'an City who can beat the fierce girls of these girlfriend groups......
Ahem~ It's a bit embarrassing. Safety comes first, though. So I hesitated for a long time before quietly pulling Xiao Li's stand-in, and then asked her if she had seen anything about His Majesty.
In other words, although this guy protects Xiao Lizhi closely, she is dressed like a ninja masked, and it still took me a long time to barely recognize her. After all, most of the guards guarding the two princesses were women, and there were several people dressed in masks. I was able to recognize her, thanks to my good eyes, and I barely saw her eyes, where eyeliner was drawn and false eyelashes were applied.
Speaking of these eyeliners and false eyelashes, this is the price I paid for teaching Xiao Lizhi the 'transfiguration technique' at that time! At that time, in order not to reveal the identity of this girl, I took out a lot of cosmetics from the mall, and then boasted about the makeup techniques of later generations, plus wigs and false eyelashes, and taught Xiao Lizhi the disguise technique. As a result, this girl has been addicted to cosmetics ever since! Even when I returned to the palace later, I was asked to replenish various cosmetics through the help of this girl from time to time. And she also dresses herself up every day except for cosmetics such as contact wigs, so that this style of heavy makeup has become the characteristic of Xiao Li. So her stand-in will also be painted with similar makeup.
So under the mask, I can also tell from the eyeliner and false eyelashes in the corners of my eyes that this guy is a stand-in for Xiao Lizhi. After all, not only do ordinary people not have these cosmetics, but Datang's makeup is not this style!
After asking, the stand-in told me everything. It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor had just left here, and he had already seen the carnival of the two princesses. But this guy not only did not stop it, but competed with the two princesses several times, and then drank a few glasses of wine before leaving here. He said he was going to inspect the city.
In other words, His Majesty the Emperor is really doting on the two princesses! At first, he agreed to Xiao Lizhen's 'running away from home' behavior without saying a word, and even found someone to escort her on a special trip. Now I see the two princesses in public, and they are gambling and drinking. didn't even care about them, but drank a few drinks together and bet a few times...... He can't be described as 'extremely open-minded and doting'! Even in later generations, it seems that there is no one who indulges his daughter so much!
Now I suddenly realize why the Zhenguan period is called a time when the people are fierce and enlightened. And I also think of many TV series, the depictions of all the Tang princesses seem to be extremely rude and willful, plus vexatious and extremely absurd...... For example, the 'Princess Gaoyang' that I suddenly remembered......
For some reason, I suddenly remembered this little kid I had only seen once in the princess's palace. I didn't realize who this guy was. Now I think of the famous ridiculous princess I heard about in later generations, this guy!
"Huh! Do you want to turn back and stay away from her? Anyway, this guy shouldn't be able to harm me. And I have nothing to do with Fang Xuanling and their family......"
After putting aside the distractions that have nothing to do with me for the time being, I got the approximate whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor from Xiao Lizhi's stand-in. It should be heading towards the vacant land in Crescent City, reserved for the Light Industrial Park.
Originally, I had left two large open spaces in Crescent City, one of which was reserved for the industrial park, and after the new smelting technology was successfully researched, a large number of smelting plants and factories specializing in coke production were built here. It's just that now this place is occupied by all kinds of rides that I moved into.
In another vacant area in the city, I was going to leave a light industry, and the college had already transformed and researched several new cotton and cotton yarn weaving machines. It is also a large textile machine powered by a steam engine. So I'm waiting for the first cotton harvest to be built here with a whole bunch of various light industrial textile mills. As a result, after this is now a commercial city, especially after I installed large amusement facilities in the vacant land of the industrial area, I drove away all the merchants who originally occupied the area, and now these merchants are crowded into this area, forming a large bazaar.
Although all kinds of vendor stalls have actually occupied the entire streets of Crescent City for a long time. However, the real big merchants will still gather in this open space, and on the good side, buyers who are also big merchants come to buy. It's as if these people are more multifaceted when they come together. And many of the big chambers of commerce and caravans I know have come here to join in the fun!
And His Majesty the Emperor is now in this bazaar, and I don't know if it is a private visit from Weifu or an inspection of the people's situation. When I arrived here, looking at the bazaar, which lacked only the thrilling screams in the open space on the other side, but with more noisy bargaining sounds, I realized how difficult it was to find His Majesty the Emperor in casual clothes in this huge bazaar! Even if they now have hundreds of guards to protect the emperor, then these hundreds of people will not even be able to make a splash in this crowded market!
"Eh~ why are there so many people here! Shouldn't more people play at the carnival? What's there to do in this bazaar? "I wondered. After all, the carnival has just opened, and it should be the moment when the most eye-catching thing is. As a result, when I came to the market, I found that more than half of the people in Crescent City were still gathered here!
Is making money more attractive than spending it?
However, when I took a closer look, I realized that it was not that people here did not like to play, but that a large number of foreign merchants really regarded this place as a large market specializing in trading. I saw more Hu merchants also coming here with a large number of goods, trading all kinds of goods brought from outside the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time buying more goods here.
Seeing this, I suddenly realized that the location I chose for this Crescent City was really good, it was just close to the border of the Tang Dynasty, especially the entrance to the grassland. As a result, many multinational caravans would choose to trade their goods from foreign countries directly here. Then they bought a large amount of cloth, satin, porcelain and some messy things from the Tang Dynasty at low prices from this bazaar.
In this way, they are safer than trading directly at the border, and because of the reputation of this market, many big merchants in Datang have slowly gathered here, and after finding a place to live, they began to sell their goods in this market, which is the most popular commodity in Datang's 'foreign trade orders'. and a wide range of other goods. I just looked at the scene here, and I feel that the east and west cities of Chang'an City combined, there are not as many merchants here!
Not to mention that the imperial court has already decreed that this place will be regarded as a commercial city, so the backstage of those big caravans will definitely take this as an opportunity to collect some intelligence from surrounding countries by the way......
Moreover, after the imperial court decreed that this was a commercial city, more people with backstage in Datang came over in person to relieve and meet me. Although I don't know what these people are for. But I also know what these business families are doing behind the scenes. Oh, by the way, these people are so well-informed that even the speed of the Divine Decree can't keep up with their early arrival.
They've already begun to figure out how to get a building out of my hands. Then I won't be tossing around like this,
