In September, Li Shimin was finally willing to end his southern tour and set off to return to Chang'an, while Sun Xiangfu also ended the three-month research stage of the steel structure keel ship and returned to Chang'an.

Now, the various kings, princes, and more important ministers who have submitted to the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate have rushed to Chang'an one after another, and the Ministry of Rites has been sent by the main personnel, and the old Yu Shinan is too busy to be alone, and Sun Xiangfu, who is so young and strong, naturally comes in handy.

Therefore, Sun Xiangfu feels that Datang now urgently needs to open a foreign language translation college.

He was now a little dizzy when he heard the languages from the western countries, and the most depressed thing was that he had face blindness to foreigners, and he couldn't tell who was who was for people whose features were not obvious.

Fortunately, these people have more or less some Chinese foundation, and finally settled down one after another, and then there are some activities to eat, drink and have fun, which does not need Sun Xiangfu to accompany them personally, after all, even if they were the lords of a country before, after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, the highest is only the county level, and some, even because the country is too small and the population is too small, can only obtain a county candidate-level title, and the middle and low-level officials of the Ministry of Etiquette will introduce them to the situation in Chang'an, and let them move freely.

The real big event is that the first commercial plaza in Chang'an is about to open, built in the Times Square between the original Anxing Fang and Daning Fang, after nearly two years of construction, finally all completed, two-story buildings, thousands of shops have also settled in the business, all the entertainment facilities of the super large free playground on the top floor have also been completed, and even the whole set of services, cleaning personnel, are all properly arranged.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival in early September, early in the morning, all the powerful families took their own manpower tricycles or carriages, dragging their families to the direction of Times Square, as early as a few days ago, the propagandists wearing various colorful costumes were in Chang'an City, and the parade was publicized several times, and the eldest grandson queen gave almost all the noble ladies to the invitation, and the eldest grandson Wuji also invited all the officials who were qualified to go to the court to attend today's ribbon-cutting ceremony.

In fact, most people don't need to be invited, either because they have a shop in Times Square at home, or because the children at home are clamoring to come when they like all kinds of cute outfits when they like the publicity, and all kinds of big climbing beds that have been inflated on the rooftops a few days ago.

Today, not only Sun Xiangfu himself came, but the whole family also went into battle together, one wife and two concubines, and the four children in the family were all dressed in costumes suitable for playing, and Uncle De followed behind with towels, kettles and other things.

Sun Jing and Sun Wanting are two years old, Sun Feng and Sun Wanyu are also one year old, they will run on the ground, it is the time to play, after watching the performance of the gongs and drums at the door, Empress Changsun invited Sun Xiangfu and some top ministers in the court to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, distributed a lot of candy to the onlookers, and then, led a group of courtiers and dignitaries and their families into the shopping mall.

On the first floor, the outermost shops opened on the side of the road, all of which sell tricycles and bicycles, luxury carriage shops, now, the cars in the car factory have several styles, bicycles are divided into men's, women's, and a variety of novel design tricycles, pulling people, pulling goods, and even divided into grades, there are cheaper, less comfortable wooden frames, wooden wheels, there are also all-steel structures, spring cushions, fish rubber tires shock absorption of high-end cars, two-wheeled or four-wheeled, It is equipped with a variety of comfortable and upholstered luxury carriages.

Previously, these things, in addition to the arrival of goods in the car factory in Weinan, were not sold elsewhere, and they were generally bought by the powerful and the powerful, but now, it has become the only place in Chang'an City that is openly sold to civilians.

Bicycles and tricycles are sold here, many people can't wait to rush over, recently this time, a lot of people, looking at these cars on the street, are greedy, it is said that Weinan side, are beginning to be popular when they get married, add a car to the family, now that Times Square is open, the people of Chang'an City, can also be like the workers in Weinan, pay for the car.

Today's attendees, not only the people of Chang'an, almost all the lords and ministers of the countries who rushed to Chang'an, including the general of the border town like Shelong, who arrived in Chang'an yesterday, were present, all kinds of cars, very attractive to their attention, Shelong took his son Xinuluo to buy a car shop for a long time, he was ready to leave his son in Chang'an to learn the advanced culture of the Han people, the emperor of the mansion has already prepared for him, the furniture on the house, the carriage and horses, he still has to buy it himself, anyway, now he is not bad for money.

However, for the things sold in Times Square as a whole, all kinds of cars are not very new.

After entering the interior, hundreds of kinds of beautifully made gold, silver, jade, glass jewelry, porcelain, carved ornaments, etc., simply blinded everyone's eyes, what they like the most is this mode of directly placing various goods on the counter to sell, in the shopping mall that is illuminated by hundreds of ash as bright as the outside, they look at it, as if entering a world of gold and silver and sea jade waves, and all the waiters who are responsible for selling these gold, silver and jade jewelry are very dignified in makeup, dress and behave, are very capableSpirit.

Why do you feel this way? Because, these women are all from the palace and have received very strict etiquette training.

Empress Changsun had listened to Sun Xiangfu's suggestion before, and a large number of palace maids and chamberlains in the palace were laid off, and the manpower used to support the entire Times Square service industry was almost not recruited in the market, and the next few squares that opened will also be like this.

Things are beautiful, the service is considerate, the price is naturally high, all the goods in the mall, almost all the prices are clearly marked, after the jewelry area, it is to the staircase area to the second floor, however, there is a life service supermarket on the first floor.

Here, a whole row of shelves is filled with all kinds of food, all wrapped in very beautiful paper packaging, printed with the origin, raw materials, suitable dates, and several commonly used ways to eat them.

There are dozens of kinds of canned fruits and dried meat, and then there are dried fruits, various seasonings, and similar to lion's mane mushroom, black fungus, white fungus from Shannan Road, lotus seeds, chestnuts, candy of various flavors from Lingnan Road, instant noodles of various flavors from Luoyang, biscuits of various flavors, bread, many kinds of jam in porcelain bottles, dairy products of various flavors, desserts and drinks, as well as various cleaning, toiletries and so on.

Even fresh fruits and vegetables are placed on the shelves covered with ice cubes in bamboo baskets or baskets, in very good-looking packaging, and with prices written in Sun's algebraic symbols, there are more than 100 kinds, and if you count all the types of goods, there are no less than 1,000 kinds.

From the birds flying in the sky, the beasts running on the ground, to the mountain delicacies that grow in the mountains and forests, all kinds of fish swimming in the sea, crabs and prawns, there is almost everything here, for people in this era, basically as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.

Moreover, the transaction is also very convenient, as long as you pick up a shopping basket at the entrance, or a shopping cart, you can put all the things you want to your basket, or pick up the cart, the exit position, there will be a cashier, take this abacus, one by one according to the price of the goods, to give you the price, and there are special service staff to help you classify and pack, if you buy more, you need to carry, there are male waiters directly with the shopping cart to help you push to the door, help you move to the car, or help you call a car, service, that is a variety of thoughtful said.

Sun Xiangfu held his daughter Sun Wanting with his left hand, his right hand was held by Yu Xiu'er's left hand, her right hand was holding her son Sun Jing, and Hongmei and Chuntao were each holding their daughter Sun Wanyu and son Sun Feng behind them, and they only walked a few steps in the life service area, and a few little guys were restless, they wanted the goods on the shelves, especially the kind of candy wrapped in colored paper, they had eaten before.

Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to ask Uncle De to get a shopping cart and let them take what they liked and put it in the shopping cart.

Can't resist the temptation, but not their children, children, adults, after entering such a well-equipped environment, almost can't resist the temptation, have shots, but after this wave of powerful people who participated in the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony passed, the waiter is about to start replenishing, because, there are a lot of goods here, which can not be bought on the market before, and many people who are not bad at home are buying in a rush to buy.

After walking around a long time, after going up the stairs to the second floor, the style of painting suddenly changed, and the fabrics of various colors and patterns, and the exquisite costumes made were placed on top of the wooden models. Men's clothing, women's clothing, spring, summer, autumn and winter are available, which makes many ladies crazy, before the clothing reform tide promoted by Sun Xiangfu did not come, there are only a few clothing styles in the Tang Dynasty, and the difference is mainly in workmanship and color.

Now, the dye factory has already launched dozens of colors of fabrics that were not originally available, as well as a variety of prints, garment factories, and there are hundreds of styles of clothing design, whether you are fat ring Yan thin, you can buy fitting, exquisite clothes here, not only that, there is a special makeup shop on the second floor, by the original Wangjiang Lou some makeup artists who specialize in makeup as the store manager, you can help them coil all kinds of hair, paint all kinds of makeup, and then match such exquisite clothing, enough to make a woman's appearance score from fail, All at once it rose to more than eighty points.

There are all kinds of exquisite furniture and bedding such as royal furniture, here, you only need to order a complete set of goods, fill in the address, pay the deposit, and someone will deliver it directly to your door, go to your home, help you place and install.

However, this is not a high-end product, the stationery store opened by the Yu family directly occupies one-fifth of the entire second floor, because, in addition to the store in addition to a variety of relatively high-end pen, ink, paper and inkstone for sale, there are thousands of beautifully printed books, almost comparable with the types of books in the palace, these things, originally not money can be bought.

Not only that, but there is also a treasure of the town store, reading glasses for sale, but the price is expensive.

Many courtiers almost came to this stationery store, here, they can release their interests and hobbies, even letter paper and drawing paper, here can be divided into more than a dozen grades, sell flowers, before, Datang can not be able to exude fragrant paper, not to mention white as snow, smooth as silk, soft and hard, eat different ink paper, these good things for the effect of writing and painting have a bonus, will make them very generous to open their wallets.

The difference between Times Square and the previous shops in the East and West is that all his products are relatively high-end, and there are some here elsewhere, with a more exquisite appearance, better quality, and a fixed brand name.

What is not available elsewhere, there are also here, for example, perfumes, dressing mirrors, glass products and other big killers.

Due to the previous limited sales, perfume is not as much as anyone wants to buy, but it depends on whether there are goods on the market, but the 'Shanyang Perfume' store on the second floor of Times Square has everything.

Dozens of perfumes, even divided into many levels, there are ceramic bottles, glass bottles, and even the top, directly with transparent glass bottles, but the price, a little scary, so that those ladies dispel the idea of buying, but ask about the characteristics of these top perfumes There are more people, especially for the kind of perfume with a few fragrances, and the feeling of smelling those smells, they ask in great detail, the price of hundreds of bottles makes them dare not buy more, but buy a bottle for their own occasional use, or as a gift, It's still willing.

Of course, like perfume, there are also dressing mirrors that are wildly sought after, and on the second floor of Times Square, there is actually a store that specializes in selling this kind of treasure mirror that can make people see it at all, but the price of the largest kind of full-length mirror makes people a little scared when they look at it.

However, for this price, no one will complain, you know, before this kind of mirror, there are only a few pieces on the market every year, but no one can buy it if they have money, almost every mirror that flows out has its potential political significance.

Now, if you have money, you can buy it, which is already a kind of progress, like the big round mirror of the head, inlaid with a very beautiful shelf carved in silver, sold for a thousand yuan, everyone thinks it is very reasonable, and the palm-sized makeup mirror is sold for a price of several hundred yuan, and the psychology of the ladies can also accept it.

Of course, even if some can't afford it, they will take the opportunity to take more photos in the store, and most people, but it is the first time to see their faces so clearly, including the lords, queens, and ministers of small countries that have surrendered.
