Chapter 348: A Lot of Events
But thinking about the fact that there are a lot of women around him now, and there is a more jealous Gao Yang who has to do it, in fact, he is more curious, he is really coming, Li Hao feels that he still doesn't have that ability, he is not a superman, and there are many women and he has a weak heart.
Li Ke also has the same idea, but he is also powerless now. I have so many women to take care of, and in order to be a good emperor, I have to deal with state affairs diligently every day, tired like a dog, and now I can only look at the group of beauties on the stage and sigh.
However, in addition to watching beauties, this competition also doubles as a Datang food festival. Therefore, during the finals, not only can you see beautiful women, but also regional cuisines from all regions under the jurisdiction of Datang will appear here. For example, kimchi and barbecue in Liaodong, Yusheng in Fusang, roasted whole sheep in the prairie, etc., these will all appear here.
And although the whole of Chang'an has been continuously expanded and renovated, it is still a bit overcrowded during this competition and food festival. Many people were shunted to several new satellite cities around Chang'an, where there are also stadiums and more extensive places.
Compared with the majestic antiquity of Chang'an City, the new satellite cities are more like a modern city. The roads here are more complete and wider, and the houses are all concrete buildings several stories high.
These satellite cities have formed the second and third ring roads around Chang'an, and now they are still preparing to build the fourth ring road, which makes the population capacity of the entire Chang'an region reach tens of millions, and it has become a super city that is difficult for all countries in the world to catch up.
The first Women's Flower Cup Singing Contest was because Li Hao and Li Ke were both weak and did not go to the unspoken rules, and the other referees were either old men or women, and they couldn't pull the unspoken rules even if they wanted to, so the whole competition was still very fair. The final championship was not unexpectedly obtained by Nie Xiaoqian, who has been by Ruyan and Li Hao in the past few years, so that her progress is very rapid, and it is a piece of cake to win a championship in this game.
However, Nie Xiaoqian did not join the art troupe, and there were also a few other women who did not enter the art troupe, but they would also go to the army to perform once or twice a year. These women participated in this competition, more to spread their fame all over the world, and also to make themselves more valuable.
What's more, there were several very good singers in the first Datang Women's Flower Cup Singing Competition, so the quality of the competition was quite high. The competition for the third runner-up was very strong, and the singer who came to Chang'an City won the runner-up by a narrow margin.
And there are also a few good songs in this competition, such as what Li Hao provided about not being a woman in the next life, prison bird. These two songs made many women present cry, so after the Datang Women's Flower Cup Singing Contest ended, these two songs quickly began to become popular in Datang.
All the participating singers finally got the remuneration promised in the advertisement, and the three singers who won the championship, second and third place also got a cordial approach from Li Ke. Li Ke is actually not very willing to meet, these two women are not the type he likes, but his wife wants to meet him, and the queen was also in tears when she was sung by these two songs. So Li Ke had no choice but to come forward to meet them, and at the same time fulfilled his promise to admit them to the Datang Art Troupe to do a national tour.
This singing contest was completed very successfully, and the income was also good, not only did not lose money but also made a lot of profits. What's more important is that it expands the influence of women's rights and resonates with women in this era, because the status of women in this era is really low, and there are indeed a lot of unfair treatments.
Moreover, the current queen of the Tang Dynasty also expressed her praise and support when she heard that Li Hao was going to set up a special girls' school and that women could participate in the work. To tell the truth, Li Hao thinks that the queen is much better than Li Ke, but unfortunately the queen never interferes in political affairs, and this rare expression of support is probably because of the momentary emotion of being cried by those two songs, otherwise she would definitely not say this when she was sober.
After the Tang Women's Flower Cup Singing Competition, Li Hao stayed in Chang'an for a while, and then began to prepare for his resignation, although he had just been canonized as a king with a different surname by Li Ke not long after.
"You say you don't want to do it? I don't agree with this! Li Hao's resignation was sent several times, but Li Keli ignored it. Li Hao had no choice but to hold a food banquet in his house, and then led Li Ke over to talk about his resignation.
"You misunderstood, I just resigned from my official position. At my age, if I make meritorious contributions in the future, how will you reward me? Do you have to cut me off from time to time, and then bring me up again? That's not interesting at all. Now that I am resigning from my official position, I can also become your personal adviser, and I can also take action if there is a problem with the imperial court. I still prefer to be a master, and then get some good food from time to time, or walk around nicely and other things, it's enough. ”
Li Ke did not immediately agree to Li Hao's request, but waited for a while before agreeing. However, Li Hao's false position and title with a different surname were not canceled, and Li Ke also gave a hereditary treatment, which was compensation for Li Hao.
The relationship between the two is different, Li Ke was a prince who was nothing, Li Hao has always been good friends with him and has given him a lot of help. Over the years, Li Hao has also made a lot of contributions to Datang, and these are all compensated.
Li Ke also understood that if Li Hao continued to stay in the court, this guy would definitely be in a bad mood. In addition, over the years, some people have been giving Li Hao eye medicine, saying that Li Haogong is high and shocking the Lord and other things. Li Ke didn't pay attention to it all the time, he was tired of listening, and directly kicked those people out of the court.
Although time will change people, but after getting along with Li Hao for so long, Li Ke can still understand what Li Hao's personality is. This guy is actually quite lazy and comfortable, when he was an official, more things were handed over to his students and subordinates to do, he only needed to grasp the general direction, such people would definitely not covet any rights, those people underestimated Li Hao's personality.
After resigning from the official position of the imperial court, Li Hao not only retained the vacant position of the king with a different surname, but now he has become the real master of the Tang Academy, and those academies under Li Hao himself have also been officially included in the academies officially recognized by the imperial court after some rectification, appointment and dismissal, and enjoy the same official treatment as the Datang Academy.
And the imperial examination has now officially abolished the treatment of direct entry as an official, but divided into various provinces, and then based on their own voluntariness and admission scores. After passing the grades, they will enter major colleges for three years of further study, and only after graduation can they be assigned official positions.
This is roughly an imitation of the college entrance examination university system in later generations, Li Hao was an honorary dean in several colleges, and he became a veritable master of the Tang Dynasty. He would make a trip to the universities every year to talk to all the students or talk to them about something.
It can be talking about ideals, talking about life, or talking about feelings. It can also talk about history, scientific and technological inventions, and interesting facts about the territory of the Tang Dynasty. For Li Hao, who has been influenced by the era of knowledge explosion, he can know a little about everything, and it is also enlightening to talk to these ancient students.
After graduation, some of the students of these academies will continue to enter the scientific research industry, some will go to serve in the imperial court, and some will choose to teach and educate people. But they represent the future of Datang and the hope of Datang. Li Hao naturally hopes that these young people can go further, and also hopes that Datang can continue to be strong.
And the first Datang Art Troupe is now beginning to show its style in Datang, think about the Datang Art Troupe's current fire and popularity in Datang. These times, the fire storm of the Datang Art Troupe in Datang is what all Datang people have been watching. Especially in the battle some time ago, after the people of the Datang Art Troupe performed a show for the front-line spectators at the risk of their lives, all of them won the title of "Women Heroes" awarded by the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which was even more beautiful for a while, attracting countless people to want to enter the Datang Art Troupe.
It's a pity that the art troupe will recruit outside except for the arranger, and the performers will only be selected from the Women's Flower Cup Singing Contest.
At this time, some wealthy people in Datang also began to think about it, and they also wanted to compete in Datang. It's just that this thing has to be reported to the government, and the other media are not places where they can instruct if they have money, so it is naturally not as convenient for them to do it.
After Li Hao had made a tour of all the academies, he was preparing for another match. Another event that Li Hao wants to hold is the second New Silk Road Model Competition, which is hosted by the Women's Flower Clothing Company, the Imperial Palace's Ni Dress and Feather Clothing Company, and several other clothing companies have joined the two of them.
Now Datang's clothing companies are everywhere, this thing has a low cost, and it is also a consumable, coupled with the rapid development of Datang's textile technology, so the development of the clothing industry is also very rapid. The model thing, because of the use of women's flowers, began to become popular in Datang.
This is not this time, as soon as I heard that the new Silk Road model contest was going to be held, those businessmen who thought that their clothing company was good enough to come to the door one after another, good clothes also need good people to wear in order to reflect its charm, and there are naturally more people who buy it after the charm comes out, and now the businessmen of Datang who don't know that they want to find models to try on after the new clothes come out to show people are fools.
The second New Silk Road Model Contest also invited some officials of the Tang Dynasty to come and watch, Li Ke and his wife and Fang Er were also inside, and some noblewomen and tide men were invited at the same time. Then by the way, it was advertised in five print media such as Datang Entertainment Weekly, and beautiful women and men were invited from all over the country to participate, and there were also generous bonuses and remuneration.
