Chapter 388: Datang Entertainment City opens
"Did you hear that? Datang No. 1 Entertainment City is about to open! ”
In the eastern city of Chang'an City, a passer-by A said to the person next to him.
"What is an entertainment city?" Some people are puzzled.
The person who asked this sentence was either a person who didn't care about current affairs, or an outsider, so a group of sneering voices came from the surrounding people, this person was really ignorant.
"I don't know about the entertainment city, it is a place that our Lantian Hou Bai family built in two months, just south of Chang'an City, between the inner city and the outer city, I heard that it occupies several streets, and they are all taken away.
If you listen to the name, you will know that the entertainment city in the city is definitely not small. Someone in the know said.
"After talking about it for so long, what does the word entertainment mean?" Passerby B spoke.
"I don't know this specifically, I heard those propagandists say that entertainment is a big slogan, including eating, drinking, and having fun, everything, the reason why such a place was established is because Hou Ye took into account the lack of fun in the Tang Dynasty, and everyone can't be a brothel all day except for gambling!"
Speaking of this, everyone laughed, it seems that this is really the case, now that life is rich, the business of gambling houses and brothels is said to be excellent, and it is full every day, even if you don't go to these two things, you are busy making villains at home.
"So this casino is a place to have fun? In this way, if it is really as fun as they say, who will come to this East Market to have fun in the future? Passerby C worried, it was obvious that this person should be a businessman from the East Market.
"Actually, I don't think it's useful, what about multiple places to play? Datang has a curfew every day, the entertainment city is far away from us, how long can we play in a day? "There are people who understand and point out the shortcomings.
"Haven't you heard, there are rumors that His Majesty agrees with this matter and intends to lift the curfew! We'll be able to hang out a little longer! ”
It's true? Many people were amazed.
"Hey! What's the use of talking nonsense here, I heard that someone over there is handing out pieces of paper, which are all about the entertainment city. Passerby A shouted.
Let's go and check it out!
A group of people flocked to find the team to promote the entertainment city, scenes like this are everywhere in Chang'an City, this is Bai Fan's means, the entertainment city has been built, who knows if it doesn't do publicity?
Datang is all rich, and those who can live in the city are either rich or expensive, even if they are businessmen, they are all big businessmen, even if they have a storefront, they all have a small amount of money.
In order to do enough publicity, Bai Fan not only sent out a trust to drive public opinion, but also spent a lot of paper to make batches of flyers, endless food streets, endless night markets, wine and entertainment, singing and dancing events, happy big stages, only you can't think of it, we can't do it!
In the past, poverty limited everyone's imagination, but now a lot of poverty, but knowledge limits everyone's imagination.
The streets and alleys of Chang'an are full of such news, all talking about the opening of the entertainment city in three days.
In the powerful area of the court, Bai Fan rarely took advantage of the time of the court meeting to go to the court by himself, and after getting Li Er's permission, Bai Fan started collective propaganda during the time when everyone did not leave after the court meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, in order to enrich the lives of our people and create a perfect livelihood in Datang, under the instruction of His Majesty, the first entertainment city in Datang was established, which was finally completed in two months, and three days later, the entertainment city held an opening ceremony, and the little brother sincerely invites you to watch the ceremony."
"Haha, I said how Jian Zhi went to court today, it turned out that he was doing business." Qin Qiong laughed.
"What do you have in this casino? I've heard that you've been building a lot of stalls for two months, and you've been building a lot of stalls. Li Ji asked.
"There is everything, one-stop service for eating, drinking and playing, ensuring that those who have been to play will never forget, go once and want to go a second time, and Brother Mao must go to the party!
And all the old brothers, whether the business is lost or made depends on your support. Bai Fan shouted.
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed, and those who dared to openly talk about business in the court, Man Datang estimated that this kid was alone.
"Humph! The plaything Shang Zhi, the dignified Tang Lantian Marquis, selling business in this Tai Chi hall, promoting eating, drinking and having fun, it is really the world is declining, you don't want to be degraded by this kid, it is only right to be busy with state affairs. ”
An untimely voice came, and without looking back, everyone knew who dared to pour cold water at this time, except for the stubborn and hard Wei Zheng, there was no one else.
If it was in the early years, there might still be Bai Fan's political enemies and old ministers, but those who have opposed Bai Fan over the years have been rectified and convinced, and no one has opened up when they encounter Bai Fan's nonsense, knowing that this person is still favored, so everyone doesn't pay attention to it anymore, plus the name of Bai Fan's family nemesis, there are very few people who dare to offend him.
But Wei Zheng is not among them, he is not afraid of anyone, even the emperor dares to scare, how can he be afraid of Bai Fan, the two are confidants and opponents, often pinching each other, but sometimes Bai Fan will find Wei Zheng to drink.
"Okay Lao Wei, Hugh wants to talk about me, I built an entertainment city for the people's livelihood, otherwise the city is full of casinos and brothels in Qinglou, this is not a good thing, the people have money We need to build a place for them to spend money, you can object, but please reserve your opinion, I don't want to pull it, I don't have enough seats there!" Bai Fan sneered at Wei Zheng.
"You kid don't think, the old man finally waited for a rest day, how capable are you and you can not let me go out to relax?" Wei Zheng scolded with a smile.
Everyone laughed, this old man is enlightened, it's just a dead duck with a hard mouth, in fact, he can still distinguish right from wrong in his heart.
Time is very fast, the heated discussion in Chang'an City has just reached its peak, with the strong expectations of the people, the opening day of the entertainment city has arrived, Li Er specially ordered the curfew to be lifted for three days, although there is no public publicity for the entertainment city, but everyone knows what this means.
Bai Fan chose to open at night, because the entertainment city will focus on evening entertainment activities in the future, and really want to make Datang entertainment activities rise and achieve the purpose of improving people's lives, so it is most effective to enrich everyone's nightlife, it is reasonable to work during the day and relax at night, and it can also release pressure and contribute to social stability.
Accompanied by a string of 100,000 red firecrackers, the door of the entertainment city was opened at once, and it has never been closed since.
This firecracker was also developed by Bai Fan to let the Taoists, and the black powder red paper or something was easily made, and Bai Fan had a formula, this gunpowder was much stronger than the black powder of the soil method, and it was taken out at this time and immediately won the people's full house, especially the red ground that was blown up, and whoever walked here would say that it was festive.
When the entertainment city opened, hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City had already taken action, and many people gathered outside the city gate at dusk.
In order to avoid problems such as riots and accidents, Bai Fan specially borrowed an army of 10,000 people to maintain order, and arranged for people to line up at dusk.
After the gate was opened, the first person to enter the city was not Emperor Li Er, but the Emperor Li Yuan, who was specially invited by Bai Fan, Li Er walked in the second place, followed by Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanba, and then the hundred officials and their families.
