Chapter 393: I'm going
On the first day of the first month of March, the morning dynasty ended.
The emperor returned to the Dongnuan Pavilion, changed into civilian clothes, drank the tea cup casually, and raised his eyes to look at Fang Jizhong, who was waiting beside him.
"It's the first day of March, right?"
Fang Jizhong nodded hurriedly, "Yes, today is the first day of the third month." ”
The emperor looked up at Fang Jizhong with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Didn't hear anything today?"
Fang Jizhong suddenly had a trace of doubt on his face, such a clueless sentence made Fang Jizhong blindfolded.
"What is Your Majesty talking about, you remind the old slave, this age is slow."
The emperor gave him a blank look.
"I remember, today is the day when Zhu Yunmo and Zhou Heng made the theater officially open, did you send someone to check it out?"
Fang Jizhong hurriedly bowed down and approached.
"I sent people there before, but it was heavily guarded, and I didn't dare to be too public, so the people I sent there just secretly watched some of them, and they seemed to be very interesting, as for those fierce beasts, they were raised one by one fat and strong, not like when Wei Guogong raised them."
The Emperor snorted and laughed.
"Wei Guogong is an old fool, he catches the tiger, really let him raise it, the tiger is fatal if he doesn't die, and his monthly salary is basically subsidized by eating these things, if it is not for the sale of half of the land, it is estimated that these things will die."
Fang Jizhong also laughed.
"What Your Majesty said is that Wei Guogong was not angry this time, and arranged for someone to send these animals there, and then sent someone to see them a few times, and then he was estimated to be relieved, but he just went to ask for wine twice, and then he didn't move."
"Wine? Peach blossom stuffed? ”
Looking at the suspicion on the emperor's face, Fang Jizhong hurried forward and shook his head and said:
"It's not peach blossom brewing, it is said that this wine is not sold on the market, because the degree is too high, so the yield is very low, but when the Zhou court sentenced it to give it away, it was only taken out a little bit, and the wine seems to be called Wuliangye!"
The emperor was stunned, "Why didn't you send me?" Isn't it me who should please them the most when they do business? ”
Fang Jizhong was stunned, and hurriedly lowered his eyes.
"I guess I think the degree is too high, so I don't want Your Majesty to drink it, this is also for the sake of the dragon body."
The emperor waved his hand, "Go and prepare the car, I want to go and see." ”
Fang Jizhong's feet were weak, he almost tripped over, and looked up at the emperor in panic.
"Your Majesty, how can this be, there are everyone there, if you want to go to the old slave, you have to make arrangements in advance, wouldn't you have to clear the field if you go like this?"
The emperor stood up, "What kind of scene, I want to pay a private visit, just bring a few capable people, and change my clothes." ”
Fang Jizhong knew that if the emperor had this heart, no one would be able to stop him, so he had no choice but to stand up, quickly change the emperor's clothes, and then arrange a few masters.
An hour later, a fairly luxurious carriage sailed to the official road of Beishan.
When he arrived here, Fang Jizhong was a little confused, because although he could see the theater on the mountainside, the road from the official road to the top was full of carriages, and the queue was unimaginably long.
The emperor sensed that the car was not moving, and called out to Fang Companion, but did not hear a reply.
Raising his hand to push the door open a gap, Fang Jizhong sensed it, hurriedly got into the carriage, knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, why don't we go back, there is no way to go ahead, from the official road to the mountainside, there are all carriages."
The emperor suddenly became interested, opened the curtain and took a look, and sure enough, the procession of carriages was winding and long, and there was no end in sight.
"Heh, there are so many people, I can't go back, since others can wait, I can wait, anyway, everyone can start the show."
Fang Jizhong's face was worried, you must know that when he left the palace, his heart would rise to his throat, if something happened, it was his responsibility.
"Otherwise, the old slave will go to the prince and the Zhou court to arrange a seat for you, the old slave looks at so many people, I'm afraid that we won't have a good position in our position."
The emperor thought about it, his eyes kept staring at the team outside, seeing so many luxury cars and horses, not to mention that he was still a little excited, which means that these people with heads and faces in the capital are here, and at this time, they cut the line and walked over, wouldn't it be slanderous.
Thinking of this, the emperor waved his hand.
"It's good to wait, but Fang Companion will accompany you to the front first to take a look, can this theater accommodate so many people? In addition, so many carriages, are they all blocked here? ”
Fang Jizhong hurriedly jumped out of the car, life in the palace was quite moist, this old eunuch had no beard, his face looked white and fat, with a smile on his face, and he walked in the direction of the convoy towards the mountainside.
The emperor touched his side, flipped over to a single-hole telescope, stared at Fang Jizhong's figure, watched him run quickly towards the mountainside, wiping his sweat as he ran, and then turned his eyes to the carriage in the first row, it seemed that someone came down there, but no one entered.
After a while, Fang Jizhong came back quickly, and there were more than a dozen men in dark green clothes behind him, and when they walked to a carriage, they stopped and said something, and then began to record in the notebook.
In a short time, some of the carriages had already begun to get people down, some followed the carriage to turn around and go down the hill, others walked in the direction of the theater, and the carriage behind them hurriedly filled their places.
Just when they were about to reach their carriage, Fang Jizhong had already run back, got into the car and wheeze and came to the emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, the old slave has already inquired about ......"
The emperor raised his hand and knocked Fang Jizhong on the head, Fang Jizhong was stunned, blinked and looked at the emperor, instantly realized, raised his hand and patted his cheek gently.
"The old slave is really stupid, why is he so stupid, don't dislike it, master, the old slave has already asked just now, this theater can accommodate up to four hundred people at the same time.
But now is the period of trial operation, in order to give you a better experience, only put 300 people, they now come down to count, if there are old people, you can choose the front position, the carriage entourage can go to the square opposite the foot of the mountain to rest, there is a place to eat and play. ”
The emperor blinked, and didn't say anything for a long time, Fang Jizhong thought that the emperor was uncomfortable, so he hurriedly asked.
"Sir?"
The emperor waved his hand, "No wonder this Zhou Heng and Yunmo can make money, this takes care of everyone's minds so thoughtfully, it is indeed meticulous, okay, you go to register quickly, these people try to follow in as much as possible, and open their eyes." ”
Fang Jizhong laughed, "What I said is that I smelled a very sweet smell when I reached the halfway up the mountain, and I looked around, it turned out that someone was peddling this, so I bought some, and the little guy said, this is a popcorn unique to this place, do you want to try it?" ”
Saying that, Fang Jizhong took out two cone-shaped paper tubes, and when he opened the opening, a strong milky fragrance emanated, and the emperor originally reached out to refuse, so he grabbed one of the paper tubes and sent it to his eyes.
Looking at the things inside, he was a little stunned for a while, after all, he hadn't seen it, Fang Jizhong saw that the emperor paused, and quickly explained:
"The old slave has already tried it, it's non-toxic!"
The emperor didn't say a word and picked up one and tasted it, it was crispy and delicious, very delicious, and he couldn't help but grab a few more and put it in his mouth.
Fang Jizhong smiled, took out another bag in his arms, and was snatched by the emperor before he could eat it.
"You're older, eat less sweets."
Fang Jizhong looked confused, smashed it, smashed it, and didn't know how to answer it all of a sudden, it just so happened that the man in green had already walked to the front of the carriage, Fang Jizhong hurriedly came out and jumped out of the car.
The man in green smiled.
"This old man, may I ask how many people you have here to listen to the play, but there are elderly people? There are a few carriages, and the small ones are here for you to register and issue number plates. ”
Fang Jizhong snapped his fingers and said, "There are two elders, can you arrange the front row?" ”
The man nodded, "Of course, I can arrange a place in the middle of the first row for you, you can really see and hear here." ”
As he spoke, he wrote two numbers and handed them to Fang Jizhong.
Fang Jizhong continued: "We have a carriage and more than a dozen horses, as for the entourage, there are a total of fifteen people, all of them have bought tickets to go in to see, and they are no problem from afar." ”
The man in green gave a thumbs up and exclaimed:
"The old man is really a good person, he treats his subordinates so kindly, there are really not many in Beijing, you have a total of two special tickets eight taels, fifteen general tickets twelve taels, a parking ticket for a carriage, and a parking ticket for fifteen horses.
The total is twenty-two taels of silver, today is the first day of business to give you a discount, and you will be given two sets of snacks, you can pay me nineteen taels eight hundred dollars. ”
