Chapter 294: The First Emperor's Parade (Addition, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After Chen Xu asked the theater to close again, Fan Yan took the stage to announce the matter of Qian Zhuang, and after listening, all the businessmen were stunned by this unprecedented business model, and after sobering up, the whole theater garden was like a fryer, a group of tall, short, fat and thin businessmen surrounded Fan Yan on the stage like a wolf, and asked in detail about the business methods, but it was a matter of trade secrets, and Fan Yan naturally refused to say too clearly.
"Master Fan, this money village is naturally an excellent buying and selling intermediary, and it is also convenient for my businessmen to operate, and the Qian family also wants to contribute to the prosperity of my business community, I don't know if we can operate together?" An old man about the same age as Fan Yan said excitedly.
"Hehe, naturally it is possible, if Huaxia Qianzhuang wants to open the entire Daqin, it is not my Fan family that can do it, it is better to work together!" Fan said with a smile.
"Old Fan, how should I participate?" Another middle-aged man asked loudly.
"I set the total share capital of Huaxia Qian Zhuang at 10 million yuan, divided into 100 shares, each share capital of 100,000 yuan, if you want to participate, the minimum subscription is one, these money will be used as the reserve funds of the bank, where we will sign an agreement, if anyone wants to withdraw in the future, the subscribed shares can only be sold to the internal shareholders who have signed the agreement and cannot be sold to outsiders indiscriminately......
After Fan Yan explained, after dozens of businessmen went through a fierce ideological struggle, six of them asked to participate in the subscription of Huaxia Qianzhuang's shares, including Shui Hong, the head of the Shui family, and also subscribed for five shares, as for those who did not want to participate, no one was reluctant, Fan Yan politely sent them out.
Although these people did not want to be shareholders of Huaxia Bank, they were still potential big business customers of China, and those who planned to participate were transferred to a room in the inn to continue to discuss the details, and then they drafted a contract, just waiting for the money raised to be sent to the underground warehouse of Qianzhuang, even if they became official shareholders of Huaxia Bank.
Three days later, the first general meeting of shareholders of Huaxia Qianzhuang was held in the conference room of Qianzhuang, counting Chen Xu and Fan Yan, there were a total of eight shareholders, Chen Xu occupied 30% of the shares with 3 million shares, Fan occupied 28% of the shares with 2.8 million shares, followed by the rest of the Shui family and several other people only subscribed for three to five shares, these people are businessmen with a very keen sense of smell, and have smelled incomparable business opportunities from the new thing of Qianzhuang, and once they become official shareholders, There is a right of preference to subscribe for more shares later.
Ten days later, the money bank, which opened between Wancheng and Daliang, officially opened for business.
Although many people maintain an extremely cautious attitude, but under the golden sign of Fan's business leader, some businessmen who travel between Wancheng and Daliang began to try to use the deposit and exchange business of the bank, although the three percent handling fee seems very high, but compared to the attack of the bandits and rogues, this expenditure is completely reasonable, the money is exchanged for a light voucher to carry on the body, and you can set off lightly, not only saving a lot of expenses for escorts and carriages and horses, but also saving a lot of time on the road. Don't even worry about it.
In Daliang, several shareholders of Huaxia Qianzhuang also used their own strength to start a large number of publicity, and soon in less than half a month, the affairs of Qianzhuang were already known to everyone among the merchants of Wancheng and Daliang, and the news was still spreading to the whole country at a very fast speed with the caravans from the south to the north.
Qinghe Inn's integrated style of hotel and accommodation quickly won the recognition of many businessmen and tourists, and the rooms were full almost every day.
Qinghe stores are also expanding their business, starting to make T-shirts, pants, belts and windbreakers for sale, in addition to wine vinegar tea oil, porcelain has begun to be put on the shelves in large quantities, and the price has dropped by nearly half, but it is still an extremely expensive luxury that only the very rich can afford.
Qinghe Theater is full of people every day, just a heavenly immortal, there have been countless people three or five brushes, among which there is a scribe who must come every day, has been brushing for half a month, and after each viewing, he has to find Hu Kuan to constantly discuss the cooperation of accompaniment and singing, Chen Xu asked curiously, and learned that this guy's name is Bo Daocheng, and then asked immediately and immediately hired him to be the chief music planner of the theater.
Because this Bo Daocheng has an extremely awesome ancestor called Boya.
And the name Boya can be forgiven if ordinary people don't know it, but if you don't know what you do music, you can pull it out and play a few bullets until you die.
There is an idiom called high mountains and flowing water, which is the story that has to be told between Boya and a man named Zhong Ziqi
(Note: Boya's surname is Bo, not Yu, and the name Yu Boya was compiled by Feng Menglong, a native of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no basis for it.) )
In order to meet the needs of the people of Wancheng, the number of performances has also been changed from one a day to four a day, with two in the morning and two in the afternoon.
After half a month of continuous performances, although Tianxian Pei is still sought after by countless monks and singing and dancing lovers, it is obvious that the enthusiasm has begun to fade, and there are many fewer people on the street in front of the theater every day to see the excitement, so Chen Xu began to arrange rehearsals for the new show "The Legend of the White Snake".
And the Legend of the White Snake is a more exciting mythological program, which involves more complex props, and because there are various spells that turn over the river and the sea, so it also involves lights, flames and smoke, etc., Chen Xu simply decided to use the gunpowder that had been hidden in the snow for a long time.
……
In the first half of March, the Shangsi Festival.
At this time, it is already late spring, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the mountains are full of flowers, the grass and trees are Turui, and the mountains and rivers are all red and willow green.
Shangsi Festival, after the Han Dynasty is set for March 3, but in the Qin Dynasty, or follow the Zhou rites set in the first half of March on the day, according to legend, this day is the birthday of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of China, so people will hold a "cleansing the bath" activity for sacrifice, out of the city to the river to enjoy the flowers, at the same time take off their shoes to the river to bathe, indicating that the spring cold is gone, began to wear light spring clothes, so this day is also the favorite festival of the girls, they can wear beautiful skirts and frolicking, At the same time, you can also talk to the man you like, so the Shangsi Festival is also known as the Daughter's Day.
Today's Xianyang is very lively, tens of thousands of people go out of the city and gather by the Wei River to play.
Xianyang East Gate, the city wall is lined with flags, accompanied by the sound of kicking and trampling horses' hooves, thousands of horses galloped out of the city gate, the horses are the burly forbidden army with tiger-backed bears and leather armor on their waists, and soon rushed out of the city for seven or eight miles to the bank of the Wei River, and then lined up along the way to wait, the long sword out of the sheath one by one with a serious and cold face.
Half an hour later, with the sound of neat and heavy footsteps, a group of soldiers in black leather armor with halberds in their hands rushed out, numbering five thousand people.
Followed by three thousand forbidden troops of the Lieutenant's Mansion holding black banners, also with dark costumes, the momentum is like a tiger banner waving, and the Great Qin Dragon Banner at the head of Xianyang City is hula rolling, and an unprecedented fierce murderous aura swept the entire eastern suburbs.
After that, three thousand heavily armed foot soldiers armed with halberds and shields, dressed in bronze armor and black scarves, stepped out of the city gate with uniform steps like sharp swords, and suddenly added a bit of murder to the air.
After the tens of thousands of soldiers made all the roads from the east gate of Xianyang to the Weishui River densely guarded, the Xuanwu guards covered in black clothes and black cloth escorted a jade chariot pulled by six horses slowly came out, and walked towards the Wei River along the forbidden army passage that stood in the middle of the road.
The jade chariot was followed by a long line of carriages driven by four or two horses.
In front of the queue are the cars of the harem concubines and princesses.
It was followed by Li Si on the left, Feng Qujian on the right, Meng Yi, the imperial historian, and Wang Ben, the Marquis of Tongwu, all of whom were four horses.
Then there were Shaofu Ling Changdu, Neishi Qi Tang, Taifu Zhao Gao, Zhisu Neishi Gaoteng and other Jiuqing, all of whom were also four horses.
Finally, the royal family, relatives, and bureaucrats and bureaucrats who can rank above the court, as well as some doctors and doctors, are all double horses.
These carriages were guarded by the forbidden army in front and behind, left and right, and the mighty soldiers and carriages took an hour to pass through the city gate, and they were followed by 3,000 lieutenants' palace forbidden troops holding banners and 5,000 halberd-wielding foot soldiers.
At this time, on the outskirts of the east gate of Xianyang, a radius of dozens of miles was already black armor like clouds and flags like forests, shrouded in a killing atmosphere that covered the sky and the sun.
Countless people who were walking in the suburbs and bathing by the Wei River all bowed down, and they did not dare to come out of the tense atmosphere, for fear that their slightest small action would lead to death.
Qin Shi Huang's jade chariot stopped in front of a high platform made of earth and stone on the bank of the Wei River.
The platform is three zhang high, ten zhang wide, looks slightly old, there are grass and wild flowers dense in the brick and stone cracks, it looks like a green mound, stands on the side of the Wei River but does not look abrupt at all, and the river is very harmonious with the spring color.
Dozens of Xuanwu guards had already ascended the high platform to look around, Qin Shi Huang ascended to the high platform accompanied by the guards of the attendants and the accompanying generals, and the concubines and palace lords who followed closely behind, as well as the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, had all gotten out of the car and gathered in front of the high platform at this time.
Under the auspices of Feng Chang, Taile Taizhu Taibu and other officials carried out the routine sacrificial steps in an orderly manner, and after the completion of Qin Shi Huang's clothes, he burned incense and prayed to the water of the Wei River in Qinglingling, and the sacrificial activities ended for about half an hour.
The next scene is more spectacular, under the leadership of Qin Shi Huang, whether it is the concubines and princesses of the palace, or the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the ministers of the hundred officials, they all went to the river beach to take off their shoes and go down to the river to wash their feet and wash their hands and faces, indicating that bathing in spring water washes away the bad luck of winter.
After the bath was finished, everyone put on their shoes and hats again, and returned to their original positions, and Qin Shi Huang also re-boarded the jade chariot, with incomparable majesty on his face, or a little excitement and expectation.
"Where's the right one?" Qin Shi Huang's eyes swept over the dense crowd of officials and ministers in front of him.
"The minister is here!" Right Prime Minister Feng Qujian hurriedly stood up.
"I started to tour the southeastern counties today, and many political affairs in Xianyang will be entrusted to Aiqing!" Qin Shi Huang said with a calm face.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers should not dare to have a half-point difference in the pool!" Feng Qujian hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"Where's Fusu?"
"Father, the child is here!" A young man wearing a jade crown and a black brocade robe, with a handsome and mighty face, was seven or eight points similar to Qin Shi Huang, and hurriedly stood up from the team of a group of princes and princesses next to him.
"I may be here for a few months, remember not to be greedy for fun, follow the right minister and all the ministers to learn how to govern the country, and don't slack off!"
"Father, rest assured, the emperor doesn't dare to be lazy!" The eldest prince Fusu also hurriedly saluted.
Qin Shi Huang's eyes swept over the dense crowd again, and his voice was flat and majestic: "Starting today, I will tour the southeastern counties, all state affairs will be temporarily handed over to the right minister, and all the ministers will assist well, and on the day of my return, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the left minister Li Si, the servant Zhao Gao, the CRRC Mansion Ling Jiang Heng, the imperial historian Meng Yi, the marquis of Tongwu Wang Ben, and the imperial doctor Cheng Xu Fu will travel with me, out!" ”
With Qin Shi Huang's order, accompanied by a few low and long horns, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses began to disperse slowly and orderly, in the sound of neat footsteps, the whole earth seemed to be shaking, the long halberd was like a forest, the flag was rolled, the first to go out of the city thousands of guards and forbidden troops and five hundred Xuanwu guards sandwiched hundreds of carriages and hundreds of accompanying servants to leave the Wei River to the east, half an hour later, the people standing on the edge of the Wei River can still see the looming black flag in the sky, It seems that the sound of horses' hooves and the neighing of war horses can still be heard like muffled thunder.
(Note: Qin Shi Huang did not have many troops on several tours, and unlike the later Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, he paid more attention to prestige.) )
