Chapter 384: Another Good Feast
In the living room on the first floor, when the bicycles and tricycles were being discussed, in the women's living room on the second floor, the eldest grandson queen and a group of noble ladies were not idle, they first looked at the two little babies, teased and praised them, and each took out some of their own parenting scriptures and chattered endlessly, until the eldest grandson queen told Yu Xiu'er about the playground, everyone quieted down and listened to her two talk.
"Two days ago, Zhengming and his brother in the palace mentioned a matter when they were eating in Wangjiang Tower, saying that the playground next to Qujiang Pond was too small for children in Chang'an and the surrounding areas to play, and then my brother had entered the palace to find His Majesty, and wanted to build a few more places in Chang'an City, I don't know if Xiu'er have you ever heard Zhengming mention it?"
"Don't you know him yet, as long as he doesn't need to do something specifically, he doesn't care much, if the queen mother finds a good place in the city, Xiu'er can call the dream of the workshop of Happy Village, help build some more amusement facilities, and give them to Niangniang." Yu Xiu'er smiled.
Over the years, she has also dealt with the eldest grandson queen a lot, naturally knows her character, when she is short of money, she is not even allowed to use more fabric for her skirt, and she will almost do the ultimate in open source and throttling, she personally mentioned the matter of the playground to herself, but I am afraid that she wants to get this business over again and make money for the royal family.
In terms of interests, Yu Xiu'er is much more generous than Sun Xiangfu, and when she opens her mouth, she gives it away for nothing, which makes the eldest grandson queen very satisfied.
Of course, she can't hold the identity of the queen and go to the minister's house to fight the autumn breeze, and, on the face, there must also be a saying that she is going to pass, and she can't let people say that she is doing business for profit, so she said, "The palace wants to build these playgrounds, not for profit, but just to create a place for the children of Chang'an to have fun, but Zhengming also said before that the charity of spending money in vain will not last long."
Therefore, you can't let your grandson's mansion follow the palace in vain, and after the venue opens, some admission fees will be charged initially, and after the cost of land and facilities is earned from the operating income, these venues can be opened to the public for free for all children to play at will. ”
Hearing this, Yu Xiu'er was still a little stunned, could it be that the eldest grandson queen has changed her temperament?
And she was also stunned by the harem concubines, the royal family does not do business, that is already a thing of the past, since Sun Xiangfu fought the ministers in the court, and later the court defined all non-hoarding transactions as normal, reasonable, and indispensable social needs, the new business of the royal family, almost every year, will launch several items, but no one has taken it to the court to impeach, because everyone is doing this.
At this time, there are ladies in the living room whose heads turn relatively quickly, and they have begun to praise the benevolence of the queen, this playground, almost a profitable business that can be seen, the queen mother actually only recovers the cost, free to open to the public, which is also invisible, donated a large amount of money to the people, and it is a long-term donation.
However, what they don't know is that Sun Xiangfu talked about a lot of Shanyang's development model when he drank with the eldest grandson Wuji that day, in fact, the playground, its own tickets, can not make the operators make much money, just like the racetrack, his own sale of lottery tickets, can not sell much, but it can drive the entire gaming industry, even if Shanyang's all-army competition has long ended, there are still many rich children from all over the world to stay in Shanyang, the purpose is to gamble on horses.
The biggest role of the playground is to attract adults and children from all squares in Chang'an City to play, and as long as people gather to play, there will naturally be a lot of business to do.
Clothing, toys, food, are all profitable points, Sun Xiangfu built Shanyang into a flower city, is to attract more people to Shanyang to play, at present, Datang's economy is not very developed, this potential has not exploded, in the future, but can not underestimate the economic value it can bring to Shanyang.
How could the smarter eldest grandson Wuji not be able to understand this!
Therefore, the playground was originally intended to let the eldest grandson queen earn fame, as long as the funds are running, he will stop charging as soon as possible, because after the free, it will continue to bring prestige to the eldest grandson queen, for this reason, the eldest grandson Wuji will engrave the origin of this free playground on the stone tablet in front of the playground gate.
Of course, if this matter is operated by Sun Xiangfu, it will definitely be more bold, and it will be better to directly name the playground 'Queen's Playground', but the eldest grandson Wuji is a little afraid of committing taboos, so he does it more tactfully.
And its surrounding industries are things that can really bring long-term benefits to the eldest grandson queen, after Yu Xiuer and Sun Xiangfu got married, although she has been managing the family's property, but in terms of management, it may not be very powerful, anyway, what the eldest grandson queen says, she will be like it, basically just nodding in agreement.
"The queen is benevolent, this move benefits all the children in Guanzhong, and Xiu'er will definitely support it."
"This is very good, later this palace will let people hand over the location of several places to your husband and wife to finally choose, after deciding, how to start building, just let the president Sun Mansion know."
Empress Eldest Sun nodded with satisfaction, her favorite thing is Yu Xiu'er, she is never greedy for profit and is easy to talk, so after this good start, the next thing is easy to talk about.
Her appetite is not just a playground, she is interested in Shanyang's entire set of business profit models, the eldest grandson Wuji told her that Chang'an wants to imitate Shanyang's full set of business models, then, how to operate some characteristic small shops, all need the support of Sun's house, such as milk tea shops, cake shops, all kinds of food, jewelry stores, low-grade consumption restaurants, teahouses for listening to books, etc., she wants to build the whole thing.
Others open shops, one by one, but she wants to open street by street, because she knows the direction of the policy, she can do the whole layout in advance, if Sun Fu contributes in this process, she doesn't mind giving them one or two percent of the profits.
If there is no accident, what she will hand over to Yu Xiu'er in the future, in addition to the location of the playground, there must be a block plan for the entire Chang'an City, and after the wall is demolished, the shops in the bustling neighborhood that are about to become prosperous because of the playground and other facilities will be the property of the eldest grandson. How can it be a small business that allows the emperor and his wife to talk in person!
Another purpose of Empress Changsun is to get some cash for the harem treasury for Li Shimin to distribute coal to the poor people and cotton clothes, rice and noodles to the elderly in winter.
Therefore, her goal is actually to sell the ladies present at a high price the shares of this business that will definitely make money in the future, that is, her cash-out method, Yu Xiuer is so generous, other noblewomen, how to shrink their hands, sometimes, women spend money, more ruthless than men, even if they don't have a woman who has financial power at home, after going back, I am afraid that they will blow the pillow wind to the men in the family and let them send money to the harem.
In general, the scene of the banquet in Sun's Mansion was lively, Li Shimin and many ministers tried to ride a tricycle in the living room, but the bicycles did not dare to let them ride directly, until it was almost noon, after the carriage of Xingfu Village arrived at Sun's Mansion, this made everyone see the difference between rickshaws and carriages.
Because, even if it is a good horse and a good car like the one prepared by Happy Village, they can't run about a hundred miles in a row, and it takes more than half an hour for the horses to rest halfway, plus some differences in speed, they are more than an hour later than the horses who come by bicycle.
At this time, the steward of Wangjiang Tower came to inform Sun Xiangfu that he could have a banquet, and Sun Xiangfu led many guests to walk to Wangjiang Tower, which was less than 100 meters away.
As soon as winter comes, the rich families in Chang'an City love to squeeze into Wangjiang Tower, sketches, cross talk, the latest dramas, only here are the best.
Therefore, they have a lot of complaints about Wangjianglou being chartered, but fortunately, most of the really powerful people in Chang'an City are sitting in Sun Xiangfu's house today, but there is no disharmony.
The tables in the hall have been rearranged, just like the last time Li Shimin entertained Dongzhu here, with dozens of large tables around the stage on the first floor, enough for all the guests to sit and watch the performance on the stage from the best perspective.
Before the dishes were served, the stage was performed first, and it seems that Yao Hongsleeve and Li Xiangdie have more shows, after all, this banquet is usually eaten until the afternoon, or even at dusk.
"You are the wind, I am the sand, lingering around the end of the world······"
What was staged on the stage was not the plot of a national TV series in later generations, but Sun Xiangfu took out this song and made the theme song for a story written when Yu Xiuer was bored during her pregnancy, and the overall plot of this story is still being arranged, and the theme is about the love story of a Han general and a grassland princess.
The Khan of the steppe because he wanted to invade the Han Dynasty, and the Han generals were mortal enemies, and did not agree to meet in unexpected circumstances, so that the lovers who fell in love together, in the face of national righteousness, even if the two loved to die and live, they had to face all kinds of suffering and separation, of course, the final outcome was that the two resolved the war between the two tribes through various efforts, so that the two tribes got along harmoniously, and finally became husband and wife, both were happy.
It is not so easy to change the hatred between the two peoples, in addition to Yu Xiuer, Sun Xiangfu also gave orders to all the members of the performing arts group, stories with similar themes, even if they change the soup or not the medicine, they must make up more, arrange more, and perform more, as long as they watch more, the people will naturally accept it in their hearts.
"Although this song has a bit of a sloppy sound, it is also very good, is it also done by Zhengming?"
"Hehe, exactly, however, the sound of the beautiful voice, there is also the use of the sound of the voice, good men and women will be more likely to like it, this story will be very tear-jerking, people can't stop, but its ultimate theme is to promote national integration, Your Majesty, you know."
The idea of using this kind of song and dance drama to promote national integration is simply a stroke of genius in Li Shimin's view, and Li Shimin has seen the specific effect in Mobei.
However, these achievements that are very slow, Li Shimin is not good to reward Sun Xiangfu now, and seeing an excerpt-style performance on the stage makes Li Shimin look forward to it even more, what will the show for the workers in Weinan be like, Ma Zhou has been busy recently, and he has not left the construction site recently, so even if Li Shimin promoted him a few levels, he did not return to Chang'an to thank him, let alone come to the banquet in Sun's mansion.
Sun Xiangfu is the main family today, not only to accompany Li Shimin, but also to accompany the ministers, so he drank the most diligently, and after more than half a catty, he was already six or seven points drunk.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers of the court, is the joy here beautiful?"
"Catchy ······"
There are many people who have a worse amount of wine than Sun Xiangfu, like Li Shimin, who will definitely be regarded as the protagonist in the usual wine banquet, is now only afraid that it is one or two points deeper than Sun Xiangfu's drunkenness, at this time, he is also the same as the ministers, holding a cup, tilting his head, and replying with a slightly wide tongue at Sun Xiangfu in front of the wine table.
"Is the dance here moving?"
"Touching ······"
The rhythm of the dancers is good, which will make people unconsciously want to writhe with it, 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 food here delicious?"
"Delicious ······"
"Is the wine here sweet?"
"Glycol ······"
"However, we didn't take advantage of so many good things." Sun Xiangfu suddenly changed his painting style, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone.
"What do you mean by that?" Although Li Shimin's tongue was numbed by the wine, his mind was still very clear, and he put down the wine glass and asked.
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the country of Qiuci was a small country with a radius of less than 600 miles, but its music made my entire Tang Dynasty popular, sought after by the people, and learned one after another.
Kangguo, the radius is also less than 800 miles, the popular Hu Xuan dance in its country, all the daughters of the house, will learn to dance!
There is also Gaochang Kingdom, a radius of less than a thousand miles, and its Sanle pulp has once dominated the wine market of my Datang for many years, and so far, many wine shops are selling a large number of them at expensive prices.
Small countries can let their own culture, their own products, go out, let the people of the world like, imitate, use, why I towering Datang, so many beautiful things, can't go out, let them all learn from us, admire us, use the things we make? ”
Sun Xiangfu's words came to this, 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.
