Theatrical performances are a major means of promoting culture, such a huge event, naturally need a theatrical performance that can deter the audience as the opening, Chang'an, has begun to produce various performance props, rehearsal of various programs, of course, in the absence of audio, amplifier equipment, in fact, most of the performances are fancy queues, dance, singing, and almost all of them are chorus, their real performance venues at that time, is after the end of the daily competition, on the stage of the major hotels.

After Sun Xiangfu discussed with Niu Jinda, he went home, anyway, Niu Jinda would only leave 3,000 people stationed in Shanyang later, and a large team of more than 20,000 people would go directly to Dingxiang to accept Sun Xiangfu's deployment.

It was not Cheng Chumo, who was officially established by the Anbei Army, so he had to go to Sun Xiangfu's mansion to eat, and he went to Dingxiang with him.

"Let me tell you, Wang Hao is not dead yet, so, Zhang Ruyan is still a key figure, you had better keep a certain distance from her, I think, this sports conference, Wang Hao will definitely come out to do something, she is currently the only clue we have to catch Wang Hao and Zhang Cheng." In the carriage, Sun Xiangfu said silently with a straight face.

"Wang Hao will come out to do something?" Cheng Chu was silently surprised.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once I do something at the sports conference, my Datang may be the enemy of the world, so, I think, crazy as Wang Hao, will not let go of this opportunity, so, if you really want to be with that Zhang Ruyan, you must find a way to take down Wang Hao, otherwise, you know, a key person like this, even if I don't care, Your Majesty will care, she will always live under the surveillance of the secret guards." ”

"So what am I going to do?"

Sun Xiangfu thought for a while and replied, "When the time comes, I will arrange the residence of the art troupe in a relatively independent hotel on the side of Dingxiang City, if you can lead a few hundred people, from now on, all the people in the surrounding blocks will be recognized, and their own people will be placed in it, so that any stranger who is close to the hotel, you can tell the difference, I believe, when the time comes, you will definitely be able to make some gains." ”

"It's more than nine months before the start of the sports conference! Start laying out now? ”

"Only by laying out so long in advance, can there be a possibility of success, as long as we can catch Wang Hao, no matter how hard we put in, it is worth it, if you think this task is not easy to complete, I can replace someone else."

Cheng Chumo must have been in a hurry, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, since you have already said it, I'll do it!" That Wang Hao, in His Majesty's heart, is the number one repeat offender! With this contribution, I was able to take the girl in the house. ”

"Okay, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, when you perform the task yourself, you must exercise restraint, it is best not to let Zhang Ruyan know your existence, in addition, the subordinates must also choose people with an innocent family background, and then I will send a few intelligence officers to cooperate with you, as for the other tasks on the Dingxiang side, I will not send it to you, you just need to complete this matter." Remember, as long as I have chosen the location of the hotel, the entire block must be within the scope of your strict surveillance, and within more than two months, I must be able to identify all the original residents and outsiders, and in about three months, the art troupe will come. ”

"Guaranteed to get the job done." Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said.

The reason why Sun Xiangfu chose to let this product complete this task is because he is so obsessed with Zhang Ruyan, I believe that with his strength, it is not so simple for any strange man to get close to Zhang Ruyan.

At the dinner, Cheng Chumo turned a deaf ear to what Sun Xiangfu and Yan Liben were talking about, because what Sun Xiangfu said was the calligraphy and painting that Cheng Chumo was most interested in, and he was inviting Yan Lide to open a calligraphy and painting academy in Shanyang, or in other words, an academy of fine arts.

Not to mention, for Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, Yan Lide is still quite tempted, if the way of calligraphy and painting can become a separate school in the Tang Dynasty, then the person who founded this academy is very likely to become the master of the founding school.

The ancients, especially the learned ancients, did not have that bad name, Sun Xiangfu talked a lot to Yan Lide from fame and fortune, to social needs, to the prospects of the industry in the future, and finally made him decide to discuss with his younger brother Yan Liben after going back.

Previously, when Yan Liben first arrived in Shanyang, he made the "Purple and Red Picture", "Flower Sea Map" and "Rising Sun Picture", etc., but they all took the scenery of Shanyang, and were regarded by Chang'an painters as the most subversive works in the painting world so far.

Now, the poplar and cherry trees inside and outside Shanyang City are gradually growing, and that poetic scenery is really a good place to do calligraphy and painting.

A good banquet lasted for two or three hours, during which Sun Xiangfu also explained some matters of the Agricultural College with Sun Deshou and a cadre of peasant disciples, and the next morning, he set off to Dingxiang with Yan Lide, Cheng Chumo and an official of the Ministry of Labor, rested in the labor camp halfway, chatted with Yu Fang, and had a meal there before setting off again.

The location of the labor camp is exactly in the middle of Shanyang and Dingxiang, because there are officers and soldiers stationed there, there are also certain infrastructure facilities, many people who run inns and horse changing business have settled here, and gradually form a small market town, moreover, there is a large flow of merchants between Dingxiang and Shanyang, and the inn and restaurant business in this market town is booming, and the labor camp can make a lot of profits every month just by selling their various agricultural outputs to them, and this is not counting the income brought about by the appreciation of some fixed assets.

You must know that in the past few years, the more than 10,000 prisoners in the labor camp have planted hundreds of thousands of acres of oak forests, and those oak trees planted in the earliest year have now grown to more than one zhang high, and next year, it will be possible to breed silkworms in a large area, and in a few years, all of them will grow into large forests.

If Li Shimin knew that the labor camp in Datang could make a big industry with an annual profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan by using more than 10,000 prisoners, I don't know what he would think in his heart, I am afraid that he will regret issuing the new criminal law policy introduced this year.

The nursery of Shanyang will cultivate at least one million new saplings every year, and on average, each labor prisoner will have the task of planting at least 100 trees every year, taking advantage of the good ecological environment now, to create a good ecological environment circle as much as possible, to retain the water system, to curb the expansion of the desert, and even to reduce the pace of the desert.

The convoy entered Dingxiang City that night, and Changsun Chong, who was not idle even in winter, directly greeted them in the hotel for a meal and drink, and arranged a room for them to rest.

To Dingxiang, or the most convenient to stay in the hotel, there are now more than a dozen hotels that can receive more than 1,000 guests to eat and stay, two hotels that receive more than 10,000 guests to eat and stay, one is Wangjiang Lou Dingxiang Branch, one is Wang's Restaurant, as for those as for dozens of hundreds of rooms, can only provide a few hundred guests to rest in the small inn, each block has, only afraid that there are no less than hundred.

When it was dawn, Yan Liben, who slept until he woke up naturally in the warm guest room, could see the general appearance of the entire Dingxiang City through the distant view from the balcony.

This is a big city with buildings that are the best in any city in the Tang Dynasty, just a five-storey high, large-domed building like the Wangjianglou branch, there are dozens of buildings in the city, and even ordinary houses, almost none of which are not buildings.

It is quite different from the architectural style of Shanyang City, like Sun Xiangfu's mansion like a castle-like building, in this city is the mainstream, the leaders of those small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland, after Dingxiang is registered, what they dream of is to have a castle-like mansion, so they took out most of the people in the tribe, and even most of the cattle and sheep in their hands to exchange for such a small castle, which can let them live comfortably until death.

No wonder Sun Xiangfu said let himself come here to learn how to build these building-style buildings, it turns out that the building construction technology here has been so mature, think about it, from Sun Xiangfu sent the eldest Sun Chong to Dingxiang, to now, more than four years, hundreds of thousands of construction craftsmen, hundreds of thousands of Dingxiang herdsmen, has not stopped the construction of it for a day, the manpower and material resources spent, almost more than three times that of Shanyang City, can be bad to blame.

I am not interested in eating the delicious breakfast prepared by the restaurant, Yan Lide is going to go to the street to watch, Sun Xiangfu still has his own things to do, so he will not accompany him in person, and called Zhang Chun and several of his subordinate architectural talents to help explain and introduce, if you want to learn these building techniques in Dingxiang, Yan Lide will spend at least a few months, and if you want to upgrade these building technologies to a higher level, used to build Daming Palace, then there are more things to learn and study.

In the private room of the restaurant, Sun Xiangfu ordered a big bowl of beef ramen, just a mutton soup bun, while eating, he rushed to the eldest grandson who was also eating hula hula on the other side, "In August next year, it will be time for you to show your face in front of the whole world, have all the construction in the city been completed?" ”

"I have even built a 3,000-square-meter warm water swimming pool, and if there is anything else to build, you just have to say, with 700,000 people here, there is nothing that cannot be done."

"Then do you count that the restaurants and inns in the city can supply 1.2 million foreigners for more than two months of eating, drinking, and Lazar?"

"Much, how much? One and two million? ”

The eldest grandson almost choked the noodles into his nostrils and stopped his chopsticks.

"That's right, at least 1.2 million people, and it's possible that they like the beautiful environment you set up and stay here longer."

"How can so many people come?"

Sun Xiangfu didn't speak, and pushed the piece of music sent by Tang Jian from the Western Regions in his arms to the eldest Sun Chong, and let him see it for himself.

This letter was sent to Chang'an by Tang Jian more than half a year ago, that is to say, at that time, he had already determined that there would be delegations from more than 100 countries in the Western Regions and Central Asia, West Asia, and Tianzhu countries to come to Datang to participate in this grand event, and in fact, by now, there will only be more countries to come, because, in more than half a year, there are still many countries where they can go, and it is estimated that they will start to return after the New Year.

You must know that during this period, the population of the entire European continent, Central Asia, and West Asia can add up to at least one or two hundred million, even if half of the countries do not come, the population base is two or three times that of the entire Datang now, such a national event attracts millions of people, it is not unusual.

Moreover, among these people who come to Datang, they may not all be for watching the event, some may be for business, some may be for study, and some may even be for religious propagation, because you are strong and rich, then you are destined to be attractive to all aspects of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods.
