Chapter 490: The Grand Theater
Clarence also saw that although His Majesty the Emperor was less than thirty years old, he was one of the few very tough emperors in the past, and all kinds of measures were put on ordinary commoners, suppressing the nobles openly and secretly.
Since this year's Prime Minister Don officially proposed to retire, the former Minister of Agriculture, Aubrey, took over as the Imperial Prime Minister.
To be honest, forget it yourself, but there are several people who are qualified to take over as prime minister, such as Industry Secretary Dean, who is the biggest opponent of the Minister of Agriculture.
It's just why Gülen chose the Minister of Agriculture? It is estimated that Shirley, the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture, has a very good relationship with Gülen.
Now that His Majesty the Emperor Gülen has completely controlled the government, and with the full support of Prime Minister Aubrey, the ministers of other ministries are basically united in his position, so he wants to be ruthless to those noble children, and no one dares to stop him.
Besides, some of the children of the nobility did go too far, even the Minister of Culture, Clarence, couldn't look at it, anyway, the Xavier family was finished, even if the daughter brought the ugly things of their family to the stage to perform, what did it matter.
While chatting, Bernie drove the Magic RV down the wide boulevard to the south of the city.
There are occasional other magic cars on the avenue, and the idea of driving on the right side of the road has now taken root after it was introduced by Frandi, but there are no traffic signs on the ground yet, and there are no signal lights, everything is in the driver's hands.
Anyway, there are not many vehicles now, and pedestrians avoid them far away when they see them, but there has not been a big traffic accident.
The Imperial Capital Grand Theater is located in the south of the city, not far from Cathy's small medical hall in the past, but now the small medical hall is too famous and the people who come and go to seek medical treatment are too crowded, and they have long been overwhelmed.
So at the end of the blizzard season at the beginning of this year, Glenn changed a large building not far away for Cathy, upgrading from a small hospital to a hospital.
This grand theater has been built for four years, and at the beginning, there were few programs and it was not too eye-catching, but after four years of development, it is no longer the cold and deserted it was at the beginning.
There are also many stories in this world, which are in the hands of those bards, who in turn have been co-opted by the Ministry of Culture and become "propagandists".
After the loudspeaker began broadcasting, some stories were made up to play on the radio like storytelling, while some stories that were very popular and more suitable for the stage were rehearsed and performed in theaters in a similar way to plays.
In addition to dramas, there are also often musical performances here, but now the music is still some classical music, which is usually played during the festival, which is very dull and does not have many listeners.
From the teaching building of the Academy of Magic to the Imperial Capital Theater in the south of the city, the road is not close, and if it were not for the magic caravan, it would take several hours just by horse-drawn carriage.
Even if it was a magic RV, it took about an hour to drive, but the three of them didn't feel dull, on the contrary, they talked and laughed.
They came at the end of the elementary school of the Academy of Magic, and after an hour's drive, by the time they arrived, it was already getting dark.
It may be that everyone knows that there is a new drama performed today, and there are many magic cars parked in front of the Imperial Capital Grand Theater, but the place in front of the Grand Theater is spacious and the area is huge, so you will not find a place to park at all.
After Bernie parked the Magic RV on the left side of the theater gate, the three of them got out of the RV and headed towards the theater together.
There is no one who does not know Doris among the staff of the Imperial Capital Grand Theater, this is the daughter of the Minister of Culture, and she is the only celebrity in the empire with the title of "reporter", so naturally no one stopped them, and the three of them soon arrived at the Grand Theater.
This grand theater was originally designed by Flandee, and the structure is quite suitable for sound transmission, not to mention that there are now amplifiers, even if there is no amplifier, just with the human voice, the audience in the back row can hear it clearly without difficulty.
The interior of the theater is luxurious, and the auditorium below is all made of sofas like the Magic Tower, and there is a small table between each sofa for some delicate snacks and juices.
The sugar factory managed by Lao Lei Zhe has already developed the process of making white sugar, but brown sugar also has the advantages of brown sugar, but it has not been abandoned, and other sugars such as soft candy and rock sugar have been developed.
Now there are rock sugar gourds selling in the streets and alleys, which are no longer exclusive to magic pairs, and snacks such as popcorn have also begun to flow into the people.
Ever since Abba Barlow of Pedi started selling the superfruits and vegetables from the glass greenhouses of Wheat Ear Farm, the prices were so high that even the average minor nobleman could not afford them.
However, with the Great Magician of Upton settling in the Gathering Grass Plantation in the Brandy Magic Tower, almost all the plant-based magicians of the human race have gathered there, and naturally there is no shortage of plant-based magic seeds.
A single Magic Seed can be used to craft an Elemental Collector with the corresponding attributes, so the plant-based Essence of Magic is no longer a precious thing.
Anyway, there are only a dozen plant-based magicians, and because they were a little hot-headed in the early stage, they made a lot of elemental collectors, and as a result, even if they were desperately consumed, they couldn't consume much, and these rich plant-based magic elements were cheaper than the Wheat Ear Farm.
More than a dozen glass greenhouses have now been built throughout the Wheat Ears Farm, and almost all the men, women and children of the farm have been mobilized to serve these super fruits and vegetables.
With the exception of the continued cultivation of new rice seeds, all other farm work has been abandoned, and large tracts of farmland have been rented to farmers in the surrounding villages who have no land at very low prices.
This has also led to the rapid reduction of the price of super fruits and vegetables, even if a civilian family saves a few days' wages, they can buy one to try.
Of course, the Imperial Theater is not short of juice squeezed from this superfruit, the theater adopts a membership system, and each aristocratic family can come to the play or listen to music at any time as long as they pay a certain amount of gold coins every year, and all these juice snacks are gifts.
The three of them came a little early, some time before the start of the show, but there were many people who came before them, most of them were women from aristocratic families.
Since the opening of the Imperial Capital Grand Theater, the most patronized are the wives and ladies of these aristocratic families.
Before the Grand Theater, the aristocratic men had a lot of places to play, but these aristocratic ladies could only stay at home, at most, the girlfriends walked around each other, and there was nothing to entertain.
Since they had the Imperial Capital Grand Theater, they had finally found a place that could match their identity, and there were also plays to watch and music to listen to, and many ladies and ladies directly regarded this place as a stronghold, and spent most of the day here.
Although Doris didn't come many times, as a reporter for her as a celebrity in the imperial capital, there were many people who knew her, and as soon as she entered the theater hall, she was surrounded by a group of warblers and Yanyan and started talking.
Bernie was naturally embarrassed to be with them, but he didn't want to talk to the few noble children who got together, so he found a corner and picked up those juices, desserts and snacks by himself.
To say that although Bernie does not have the title of a reporter, he is also a celebrity in the imperial capital, and since he has been reading the newspaper for four years, I don't know how many people are obsessed with his voice, but few have actually seen his true face.
Shirley had been to this theater before, but she had come with Anne to watch the play, but she had not arrived in advance.
She also met a few girlfriends of the same age when she was a child, and she has lived with Annie, Lilia, Katrina and other girls since she was **** years old, and she has not been home much, although she has met these ladies and ladies, she is not familiar with them.
It's just that although she is not familiar with others, others are very familiar with her, you must know that now her Abba is the prime minister of the empire, and Shirley has always lived in Flandy's magic tower, and has a very close relationship with the emperor and queen.
I don't know how many people want to have a good relationship with Shirley, but Shirley lives in a simple place, and every day is basically a line between the magic tower and the teaching building, and there are few opportunities to socialize with other people.
Today, she appeared in the Grand Theater, and immediately became the center of the ladies and ladies, and those who knew came forward to talk, and those who didn't know knew that she was Shirley, and immediately became enthusiastic.
There is another very important reason why Shirley is so popular, that is, she is still single.
In the Oskaia Empire, especially among the aristocracy, there are not many girls like Shirley who have not married at the age of twenty-four, and the key is that she has not even had a fiancé until now!
I don't know how many aristocratic families want to gain political improvement by marrying her, and those young people who send flowers and courtship in front of the school building are just the tip of the iceberg, and the really big nobles with status will not do that kind of thing.
A group of ladies surrounded Shirley and Doris, but they focused more on Shirley, asking if she had a crush on her now.
and quietly pretended to mention the outstanding young man in his family in front of her inadvertently, which annoyed Shirley.
Doris didn't expect this kind of scene to appear, and it would have been better to come later, but seeing Shirley say that she already had someone she liked, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Fortunately, these noble ladies didn't dare to go too far, and seeing that Shirley was already displeased, they immediately led the topic elsewhere, so that Shirley didn't turn her face on the spot.
After nearly an hour, when the lights of the theater began to dim and the show was about to begin, the people found their seats and sat down.
