Chapter 457: Victory Parade
So far, the Sleepless City project has been a great success, and Chu Chu and Zheng Xiu'e have received hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
Too many dignitaries have membership cards, but they are not buyers, and businessmen are also sighing, "Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders." ”
This is really not an accident, but an inevitable consequence.
Jingshi is the political center of a large country with a population of hundreds of millions, and is the largest city of this era, with a population of more than one million, of which the proportion of high-ranking officials and nobles is five times that of other cities.
Huang Han's investment in the world's largest market today is unlikely to be a sensation if a project like Wanda Plaza is not spectacular.
Moreover, it presents a new concept of service, shows the development direction of the future home, many novelties are works beyond the times, it is normal for the prince and grandson to linger and forget to return, and the city that never sleeps is a problem with gold and silver.
However, some people could not see others getting rich, and the extravagance of the city that never sleeps made many Qingliu ministers furious, and many began to prepare to write to the emperor to ban it.
Don't think that Qingliu is a good thing, Wen Tiren is a Qing official, and historical evaluation is not still a big traitor.
These people only saw the drunkenness of money, completely ignoring the fact that more than half of the thousands of women, more than half of whom had obtained enough jobs to support three or five people, would make a stable life for thousands of families.
They can't see how many job opportunities there are for supporting services, how much income their families will get, the simplest example, how many original sales channels can vegetable farmers who engage in greenhouses, and how many families start to run to a well-off life with large purchases in the city that never sleeps?
Because of the city that never sleeps, picking a load of tofu brain to make a night market is enough to support the family, making a bucket of black sesame paste and selling it for two hours, you can definitely earn money to maintain the livelihood of five or six people......
At present, there are 50 or 60 companies engaged in this kind of business, and there are 200 or 300 entrepreneurs, and a street with quite a characteristic snack has been formed.
The first place to open on this street was not a stall, but a three-storey duck blood vermicelli flagship store with three facades, and Li Sanniang had an office upstairs.
The woman who had lost her man was now a shrewd and capable flag guard general, with three hundred and dozens of registered flag guards under her command, as well as two or three hundred helpers.
She is not only extremely loyal to the "Red Flag Army", but also has a sense of ownership, always doing what she can to spy on intelligence development downlines, and seeking more job opportunities for more women every day.
Li Sanniang now has a force value, she can skillfully load and release her own short guns, she can use two guns to shoot, and there are no missing bullets in sixty steps, and more than 100 women under her command also have short guns, and they can fight a general enemy crying dad and shouting mother.
Zheng Guochang was anxious when he learned that Qingliu was going to impeach his son-in-law, he knew that the city that never sleeps invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and if it was only in business for more than a month, it would be banned, and the loss would be too great.
He was already ready to contact some good friends to argue with reason in the court, but when the tension was raging, there was a dramatic turn, and the originally fierce clear stream died down one after another.
Because these people are stupid because they don't read and read, wouldn't it be humiliating to impeach the father and son of General Pingliao who won the "Great Victory of Yanbei" and killed more than 5,000 Tartars and rescued 120,000 Han people?
Zheng Xiu'e and Chu Chu were also not fuel-efficient lamps, and they called on all the workers in the city that never sleeped to bring their families to a victory parade at noon on December 16 to celebrate the Ming army in the Yangwei Prairie.
The final result was better than expected, under the arrangement of Huang Sifang and under the vigorous bewitchment of the flag guards led by Li Sanniang, too many merchants and hawkers who benefited from the city that never sleeped took the initiative to join the parade, and many princes and grandsons also came to join in the fun.
The procession shouted "Long live the Holy Son of Heaven!" "The Emperor's grace is immense!" "Thank you to the Son of Heaven for bringing job opportunities to the small people of Shengdou."
Then, dozens of women representatives from homeless people or poor residents of Beijing who are now working for the city that never sleeps came forward to speak.
They told the onlookers how much silver they had earned in the month, how many grains they had bought, how many catties of milled rice they were willing to buy, and how much silver their men had earned.
Then someone shouted slogans, and of course, the leaders were all arranged in advance by the flag guards.
At this time, it is necessary to dilute the Huang Han father and son, dilute the "Red Flag Army", and highlight the greatness, glory and correctness of the Chongzhen Emperor's Enzhun Sleepless City project, which has brought a good life of food and clothing to thousands of households.
A victory parade was held on the street, and the number of marchers plus the lively crowd gathered 120,000, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the Jinyi Guard, the Dongchang and all the officials and officials in the yamen took to the streets to maintain order.
How can Chongzhen not know such a big movement?
The emperor was most worried about the large gathering of the common people, because at this time, if there was someone with ulterior motives to instigate, a disaster could happen, so the people of Jingying had already assembled and stood by, and in case of chaos, they would be quickly suppressed.
During the procession, spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang constantly reported the latest situation to Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing, and Cao Huachun immediately reported to the emperor.
When the emperor heard that more than 100,000 people were chanting: "Long live the Holy Son of Heaven!" At that time, I was a little confused, but later I learned that the Sleepless City project had enabled thousands of people not only to live, but also to have food and clothing, so they sincerely thanked the emperor for his mighty grace.
Knowing that Emperor Chongzhen loved face the most, Huang Han specially sent Zheng Xiaozhang to Beijing to teach him face-to-face, so Chu Chu and Zheng Xiu'e were able to launch this victory parade intended to kidnap public opinion.
Being able to benefit thousands of families and give food and clothing to the people made Chongzhen feel a sense of accomplishment, and then he asked in detail what the situation was in the city that never sleeps, and how he used so many people.
Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen are two eunuchs, and when the city that never sleeps opened, Zheng Xiu'e took Chu Chu to invite him personally, so he didn't need to avoid suspicion.
Zheng Xiu'e personally took them to visit several places, and also played a game of billiards with them, and then Huang Sifang accompanied the two prime ministers to take a sauna, watch singing, dancing and drinking, and finally arranged for them to live in the presidential suite.
The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and the two loyal eunuchs of course answered truthfully, but unfortunately many novelties could not be depicted, and the emperor was dizzy to hear them.
Chongzhen's final understanding is that the city that never sleeps is a good place, it is as warm as spring, eating, drinking, and sleeping are different, and even taking a bath has made new tricks, which makes people want to stop.
Business in the city that never sleeps is booming, and General Pingliao should be able to earn a lot of silver, but it is impossible to estimate how much he can earn.
The young emperor was aroused, and he couldn't help but have the idea of quietly leaving the palace to go to the city that never sleeps to take a look.
