Chapter 297: Night Chang'an World

Li Shimin and Li Su discussed an important issue, which had a huge impact on the expansion of the Tang Dynasty.

On weekends, the three evils gather together to go out for drinks and entertainment.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was half past nine in the evening, and the three of them were drinking to their heart's content, when Yang Kang came in and reminded: "Lord Wang, it's time to go back, it's going to be curfew soon." ”

Du He said: "Brother Su, this curfew is really troublesome, it's really disappointing. ”

Li Dan also said: "That is, now that Chang'an is prosperous and stable, is it necessary to have a curfew?" ”

Curfews are a tradition that has been preserved during the war years, mainly to prevent opposition forces from using the night to wreak havoc. Although the environment has changed, this habit has continued.

At night, Chang'an City is lifeless.

Li Su agreed with Li Dan's opinion, he first asked Li Shimin for instructions, and then communicated with the important ministers.

Soon after, the imperial court issued a decree lifting the curfew, along with the restrictions on the opening of the eastern and western cities, except for the control of noise and the prohibition of disturbing the people. This move greatly prospered the commercial and entertainment industry of Chang'an City.

As early as the beginning of last year, the entertainment city funded by Li Su, Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong started construction, and after more than a year of preparation, it finally opened.

The name of the entertainment city is "Big World", which is modeled after the "Big World", the most attractive entertainment venue in Shanghai in the past.

The architecture of the "Great World" is quite distinctive, it is composed of 12 columns supported by a multi-storey hexagonal cream-colored minaret, the main building is connected by three four-storey buildings, and two other annex buildings, the whole building layout is novel and unique.

The Great World Amusement Center is composed of five parts: "Big Stage", "Amusement World", "Expo World", "Redemption World" and "Food World", and launches eight series of amusement projects.

There are many small theaters that perform various operas, operas, singing and dancing, and juggling, as well as shopping malls, food stalls, and restaurants, so visitors can spend the whole day playing in the playground.

On the day of the opening ceremony, Li Xiaogong, as the representative of the owner, invited Li Shimin and the important ministers to visit the big world. Everyone expressed their admiration for the richness of the big world.

After finishing dinner in the big world, Li Xiaogong invited Li Shimin and others to dance and entertain on the big stage.

The big stage is a large ballroom, with a large number of glass lamps, which make the colors brilliant and soft.

In the middle is a large dance floor, with a stage on one side and an orchestra pit below the stage. On the opposite side is a loose seat, and the second and third floors are private rooms. A private room in the middle of the second floor is permanently reserved for Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin and the ministers sat down in the private room, the performance began.

With the sound of music, a group of dancers came out, only to see them wearing cheongsams and high heels that people had never seen before, dancing neatly with their laps, and rows of white thighs kicked very high, which dazzled the top magnates of the Tang Dynasty and made their hearts hot.

Next is the song and dance, a singer who is also wearing a cheongsam and high heels, singing "Night Primrose", behind which several dancers dance a soothing dance as the background, the whole picture is very pleasant.

Accompanied by Li Xiaogong, Li Shimin and others walked onto the dance floor, and the top beauties cultivated by Li Xiaogong's house accompanied them to dance.

Li Shimin had a lot of fun and danced six dances in a row before leaving the big world unsatisfied. Since then, Li Shimin has gone to the big world once a week to dance to relax.

After the opening of the big world, the entire Chang'an people flocked to it, so that it was difficult to find a ticket.

Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji and others were a little soft in collecting money. So they started planning to open a chain store across the country.

Li Shimin became interested in women's cheongsams and high heels, and felt that these clothes could better highlight the beauty of women's bodies, so he asked Li Xiaogong to send a large number of clothes to the ladies of the harem to wear.

Although Empress Changsun has given birth to seven princes and princesses, her figure is still very good, she wears a cheongsam and high heels, looks in the mirror, and likes it very much.

Since then, cheongsam and high heels have become popular in Chang'an.

As soon as Li Dan saw that the business opportunity was coming, he immediately organized the production of cheongsam and high heels, and the money was rolling.

The production of cheongsams is easy to say, but the production of high-heeled soles requires rubber, so obtaining a large amount of rubber has become an urgent matter. So the matter of sending troops to Linyi has become a top priority.

After coming to the Tang Dynasty, Li Su had another painful thing that had been bothering him - hair problems.

The ancients had a bad habit that "the body is skinned, and the parents should not be discarded." "You can't cut your hair, so you have long hair. Combing your hair every day is a very troublesome thing, and it is even more sinful in the summer.

On this day, Li Su came to find Li Shimin.

Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin's study.

It was August 640, the weather was hot, and the Taiji Hall was still a little stuffy despite its tall and gloomy heights. Li Shimin is not like other emperors, there are maids who specialize in playing fans behind him, he himself holds a fan, and watches the music while fanning the wind.

Seeing Li Su coming, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Su'er, I heard that Begonia is also pregnant?" ”

Li Su said: "Yes, father." Not only that, Ning'er is also pregnant. ”

Li Shimin was very happy and said, "Okay, you are the crown prince, you need more heirs." There is a woman in Wannian County who gave birth to triplets, and you personally arrange a reward. ”

"Yes, Father." Li Su said. Then, he took the fan in Li Shimin's hand, fanned him, and asked, "Father, the son has a question, would I like to ask you?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Say it." ”

Li Su held a handful of hair in his hand and said: "Erchen has been losing a lot of hair recently, and his body is skinny, and he is given to his parents, do you think that Erchen is unfilial?" ”

Li Shimin is a very strong person in his heart, and he does not believe in the destiny of heaven. He was very disdainful of such a frivolous statement. He smiled: "Hair loss has nothing to do with filial piety to your parents, do you think so?" ”

Li Su asked, "Father, your hair is so long, is it hot?" ”

Li Shimin said: "It's hot, but I'm used to it." ”

Li Su said: "Erchen thinks that having long hair is not good for people at all, not only combing hair is a waste of time, but also unhygienic. It is especially inconvenient for soldiers, who are difficult to bandage and treat once they have a head injury. Erchen thought that it was really unnecessary to have long hair. ”

Li Shimin said: "Yes. However, 'the skin of the body is given to parents and mothers, and it should not be discarded.' The argument is deeply ingrained and difficult to reverse. If you do that, you're going to get into a lot of trouble. The saliva of those masters alone will drown you. ”

Li Su said: "In Datang, there is nothing that cannot be done, it depends on how determined the court is." Erchen has a way to do it, and he doesn't need to spend any words. ”

Subsequently, he told Li Shimin about his plan.

Li Shimin smiled: "Okay, let's do it." ”
