In the Chongwen Hall of the East Palace, all the civil officials were mobilized to make invitations for the prince, and more than 4,000 invitations were quite a lot of work, in order to save everyone's time. Li Siye discussed with Zhan Shi, and the content of the invitation should be as concise as possible and controlled within the three crosses.

After the invitation is written, the ink is dried and then stamped by the Zhan Shifu. The invitation is made of hard yellow paper, and it is double-folded and pasted with paste, so it will not be easily damaged and will not fall off the ink.

Li Siye put one of the finished products in his hand and looked at it, the size was just right, just enough to accommodate the seal and inscription of Zhan Shifu.

After arranging the invitation, he immediately took out a large number of cheap silk cloth from the treasury of the East Palace with the door supervisor rate and the internal rate, and transported it to the oil sprinkling ground of Jinggongfang by horse-drawn carriage.

He instructed the crowd to circle the six-zhang wide spectator seats on the edge of the polo field, and then use bamboo stakes to drive them into the dirt outside, and use silk to circle the wall curtain to deter those who did not buy tickets.

Of course, there are also two entrances, one of which is for the princes, ladies and princesses, and their location is isolated from the auditorium, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

The most critical step is to sell tickets, the people of the Prince Zhan Mansion sent someone to contact Jin Wuwei, and after getting their permission, they can post notices outside the doors of more than a dozen squares where the rich live in Chang'an City, the content of the notice is that the Prince Zhan Mansion specially invites the elders of Chang'an City to Jinggongfang to watch the polo open tournament held by the prince and the princes.

The notice did not clearly state what conditions were needed to watch the game, nor did it cost much money, some curious businessmen went to the gate of the Ewang Mansion to see, and sure enough, there were people from the Prince Zhan Mansion working on the spot. When they went up and inquired, they found out that this invitation post was bought with money.

"This envoy, dare to ask, how much does it cost to buy the invitation to the polo match of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Prince?"

The official of Zhan Shifu looked up and said, "Two thousand yuan a piece, this invitation can only be sent by one person." ”

"Two thousand? Too...... It's so cheap that I buy more hairpins for my wife. ”

"Quick, get me one."

At first, the officials of the Zhan Mansion felt very ashamed, they were serious court officials, and they even sold invitation stickers at the gate of the Ewang Mansion like small vendors.

Li Siye stood at the door to supervise the door, clasped his hands on his chest and said to several officials: "Alas, let me tell you, these four thousand invitations must be sold out for His Highness, if you want to spend all day here, then shut your mouth and don't speak, if you want to leave this place early, then you have to open your mouth and encourage everyone to buy it." ”

"You! Why don't you sell it yourself! An official waved his robe in a huff.

"What's there to be ashamed of here." Li Siye personally came to the front of the board foot case, sat cross-legged on the ground and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will hold a polo open tournament in Jinggongfang, and invite the people of Chang'an to cheer and cheer.

After a while, these old scribes in their forties also completely abandoned their face, holding the invitation in their hands and shouting: "There are still 500 tickets, come if you want to come and watch the game."

Many merchants in Chang'an heard the news and came to buy one after another, and many of them also liked the exciting sport of polo, and some even had a polo team. However, the teams at the highest level of Datang are almost all in the hands of the royal family. They came not so much to watch the game as to learn the art of polo.

In the past, the competition between the prince and the princes invited some dignitaries or wealthy nobles, and invited the people of Chang'an to watch, which was the first time in the world.

By the afternoon, the officials no longer had to shout, and the people in line had already stood two miles away, and the officials sighed regretfully while collecting the money: "The invitation sticker should be raised to 3,000 yuan, no, it should be 5,000 yuan, and I promise that someone will buy it."

Li Siye walked over quietly, stretched out his hand and poked the back of the official who was in charge of selling tickets, and said in a low voice: "Don't buy all the tickets, leave me five."

The official said with a straight face: "Li Qianniu, although you are presiding over the ticket sales competition, you must not show favoritism, these five invitations are 2,000 yuan each, if you can afford this 10,000 yuan, I can leave the tickets to you."

"Virtue, I knew you would say that."

Li Siye took down the ten strings of copper coins that were coiled around his waist and placed them in front of the officials who collected the money.

"No, I'm talking about you!" The official pointed at him suspiciously and asked, "What is the use of asking for these five invitations?"

Li Siye shook his head mysteriously: "I can't tell you for the time being."

The official flicked his sleeves and didn't bother with this guy with a strange talent.

In addition to these five invitations, more than 4,000 invitations copied and printed by the officials of the Prince Chongwen Hall were sold out overnight, and many rich people who lined up to buy them regretted that they hoped that the Prince Zhan Mansion could issue more invitation letters.

"No more! Without! It's all gone, it can only hold 4,000 people!"

Li Siye walked aside, took out five invitations from his arms and said regretfully: "I still have five here, I bought them for a friend, but unfortunately my friend can't come when he is sick, what should I do?"

As soon as the rich people heard this, their minds were already crowded around: "This Langjun, buy it for me, I will pay 3,000 yuan!"

"Duh! I'm out of four thousand!"

"I'll give five thousand!"

"You're crazy!"

"You're crazy!"

In a burst of pushing and crowding, Li Siye sold the five invitation stickers in his hand for a high price of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan, earning more than 20,000 yuan in just an instant.

Several officials from the Zhan Mansion stood aside and opened their mouths wide in astonishment.

"Why didn't Lao Tzu think of ......?"

An official put his sleeve behind him in annoyance, lowered his voice and said to himself: "He actually bought at a low price and sold at a high price, this is opportunistic!" Fill your pocket! I'm going to sue him before the prince!"

Zhan Shi put his hands behind his back, coughed and said to everyone: "Hurry up and count the number, I can report the good news to His Highness!"

The money earned from selling invitation stickers filled two large ox carts, and it took a lot of effort to count the money, Zhan Shi made a simple calculation in his mind, and suddenly his eyes were full of stars, and he hurriedly picked up a plan to report to the Ewang Mansion.
