Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 520 To Dingxiang

Theatrical performances are a major means of promoting culture. Such a huge grand event naturally needs a theatrical performance that can shock the audience as the opening. Chang'an has already started making various performance props and rehearsing various programs. Of course, when there is no audio or amplifier equipment, in fact, most of the performances are fancy lineups, dancing, singing, and almost all of them are choruses. Their real performance venue at that time is the end of the daily competition. After that, it was carried out on the stages of major hotels.

After discussing with Niu Jinda, Sun Xiangfu returned home. Anyway, later on, Niu Jinda would only leave 3000 people stationed in Shanyang, and a large team of more than [-] people would go directly to Dingxiang to accept Sun Xiangfu's deployment.

On the contrary, Cheng Chumo, who was not formally organized by the Anbei Army, insisted on going to Sun Xiangfu's house for dinner, and even went to Dingxiang with him.

"Let me tell you, Wang Hao is not dead yet, so Zhang Ruyan is still a key person. You'd better keep a certain distance from her. I think Wang Hao will definitely come out to make troubles in this sports meeting. She is currently our Grab the only clue of Wang Hao and Zhang Cheng." In the carriage, Sun Xiangfu said to Cheng Chu silently with a serious face.

"Wang Hao will come out to do something?" Cheng Chumo asked in surprise.

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once something happens at the sports meeting, my Tang Dynasty may be the enemy of the whole world. Therefore, I think that as crazy as Wang Hao, I will not let this opportunity go. , So, if you really want to be with that Zhang Ruyan, you have to find a way to take Wang Hao down, otherwise, you know, even if I don’t care about such a key person, Your Majesty will. I have been living under the surveillance of secret guards."

"Then what shall I do?"

Sun Xiangfu thought for a while and replied, "At that time, I will arrange the residence of the art troupe in a relatively independent hotel in Dingxiang City. All the people in the block recognize it, and put their own people in it, so that you can distinguish any stranger who is close to the hotel, I believe, when the time comes, you will definitely gain something."

"Here, there are still more than nine months before the start of the sports meeting! Start planning now?"

"The only way to succeed is to plan so long in advance. As long as we can catch Wang Hao, no matter how hard we put in, it will be worth it. If you think this task is difficult to complete, I can replace it with someone else. "

Cheng Chumo must be in a hurry, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't, don't, since you have already said it, let me do it! Then Wang Hao, in His Majesty's heart, is the number one felon! I will be fine after this meritorious service. Take Miss Ruyan into the house."

"Okay, the less people who know about this matter, the better. When you perform tasks by yourself, you must exercise restraint. It is best not to let Zhang Ruyan know of your existence. In addition, subordinates should also choose people with clean backgrounds. I will send a few intelligence personnel to cooperate with you. As for the other tasks in Dingxiang, I will not assign them to you. You just need to complete this task. Remember, I only need to select the location of the hotel. Several entire blocks must be within your strict surveillance range, within two months, you must be able to identify all the original residents and outsiders, and in about three months, the art troupe will come over."

"I promise to complete the task." Cheng Chu silently patted his chest and said.

The reason why Sun Xiangfu chose to let this guy complete this task was because he was so obsessed with Zhang Ruyan. I believe that with his drive, it would not be that easy for any strange man to get close to Zhang Ruyan.

At the dinner party, Cheng Chumo turned a deaf ear to what Sun Xiangfu and Yan Liben were talking about, because what Sun Xiangfu and the others were talking about was calligraphy and painting that Cheng Chumo was least interested in, and he was relentlessly inviting Yan Lide to open a painting and calligraphy academy in Shanyang , or rather, Academy of Fine Arts.

Not to mention, Yan Lide was quite tempted by Sun Xiangfu's suggestion. If the way of painting and calligraphy can become a separate school in the Tang Dynasty, then the person who founded this academy is very likely to become the master who founded the school.

The ancients, especially the learned ancients, did not have a bad reputation. Sun Xiangfu talked to Yan Lide from fame and fortune, to social needs, to the future prospects of this industry, and finally made him decide to talk to his brother Yan Liben after going back. We discussed and discussed.

Previously, when Yan Liben first arrived in Shanyang, the "Colorful Purple and Red Paintings", "Flower Sea Paintings" and "Rising Sun and East Rising Paintings" and so on were all based on the scenery of Shanyang, and they were regarded as the most famous paintings by Chang'an painters. The most subversive work that has appeared in the painting world.

Afterwards, many of the students of the two brothers went to Shanyang. Now, Populus euphratica and cherry trees are gradually growing inside and outside of Shanyang City. The poetic and picturesque scenery is really a good place to study calligraphy and painting.

A good feast lasted for two or three hours. During this period, Sun Xiangfu explained some matters about the Agricultural College with Sun Deshou and a group of agricultural students. Early the next morning, he set off with Yan Lide, Cheng Chumo and a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry. Dingxiang stopped halfway in the labor camp, chatted with Yu Fang, and had a meal there before setting off again.

The location of the labor camp is just in the middle of Shanyang and Dingxiang. Due to the presence of officers and soldiers and certain infrastructure facilities, many people who run inns and trade horses gather here, gradually forming a small market town. Moreover, the flow of merchants between Dingxiang and Shanyang is very large. The inn and restaurant business in this market town is booming. The labor camp can make a lot of profits every month just by selling their various agricultural products to them. This is not counting the benefits brought about by the appreciation of some fixed assets.

You know, in the past few years, the more than 1 inmates in the labor camp have planted hundreds of thousands of acres of oak forests. The oak trees planted in the first year have now grown to more than ten feet high. After breeding tussah silkworms, in a few years, all of them will grow into large forests. Then, the output of wood and Hericium erinaceus will be amazing.

If Li Shimin knew that Datang's labor camp, using more than 1 inmates, can also become a big industry with an annual profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars, I don't know what he would think, I'm afraid he would regret the new order this year. promulgated criminal law policy.

Sun Xiangfu will continue to promote the tree planting in the north. Shanyang's nursery will plant at least one million new saplings every year. Now that the ecological environment is good, we should try our best to build a good ecological environment circle, retain the water system, restrain the expansion of the desert, and even reduce the pace of the desert, and we cannot stop.

The convoy entered Dingxiang City that night, and Chang Sun Chong, who never had a moment's leisure even in winter, greeted them directly in the hotel for a meal and arranged a room for them to rest.

When you arrive in Dingxiang, it is most convenient to stay in a hotel. There are now more than a dozen hotels that can accommodate more than [-] guests, and two hotels that can accommodate more than [-] guests. One is Wangjianglou Dingxiang One of the branch stores is Wang's Grand Restaurant. As for the small inns that have dozens of rooms and can only provide a few hundred guests to rest, there are no less than a hundred in every block.

When it was dawn, Yan Liben, who woke up naturally after sleeping in the warm guest room, was able to see the general appearance of the entire Dingxiang City from the balcony.

This is a big city with the most buildings in any city in the Tang Dynasty. Just like the five-storey Wangjianglou branch with a large dome, there are dozens of buildings in the city, and even ordinary houses, almost none of them are not buildings.

It is quite different from the architectural style of Shanyang City. Castle-style buildings like Sun Xiangfu's mansion are the mainstream in this city. The leaders of the small and medium tribes on the grassland, after they registered in Dingxiang What they dreamed of was to own such a castle-like mansion. Therefore, they exchanged most of the people in the tribe, and even most of the cattle and sheep in their hands, for such a small house that would allow them to live comfortably until their death. castle.

No wonder Sun Xiangfu asked himself to come here to learn how to build these building-style buildings. It turns out that the building construction technology here is so mature. Think about it, since Sun Xiangfu sent the eldest Sun Chong to Dingxiang, until now, For more than four years, 10,000+ construction craftsmen and hundreds of thousands of Dingxiang herdsmen have not stopped building it for a day. The manpower and material resources spent are almost three times that of Shanyang City. No wonder.

They were not interested in eating the delicious breakfast prepared by the restaurant. Yan Lide was about to go to the street to watch it. Sun Xiangfu still had his own business to do, so he didn't go to accompany him in person. He called Zhang Chun and several of his subordinates. It would be good for someone from other areas to help explain and introduce. It would take Yan Lide at least a few months to learn the architectural techniques of Dingxiang, but if he wanted to improve these architectural techniques to another level and use them to build the Daming Palace, Then there are more things to learn and research.

In the private room of the restaurant, Sun Xiangfu ordered a large bowl of beef ramen with a mutton-filled steamed stuffed bun. While eating, he rushed to the opposite eldest Sun who also ate Hula Hula, "Next year in August, you will be in the whole country." It's time to show your face in front of the people of the world, have all the constructions in the city been completed?"

"I've even built a 70-square-meter warm-water swimming pool. If there's anything else you need to build, just say it. With my [-] people in Dingxiang, there's nothing I can't do."

"Then, according to your statistics, can the restaurants and inns in the city supply 120 million migrants for more than two months?"

"Many, how much? 120 million?"

Chang Sun Chong almost choked the noodles up his nostrils, and stopped talking with his chopsticks.

"That's right, there are at least 120 million people, and they may like your beautiful environment in Dingxiang and stay here longer."

"Why are there so many people here?"

Sun Xiangfu didn't speak, and pushed the memorial that Tang Jian sent from the Western Regions in his arms to Chang Sun Chong, letting him read it by himself.

This memorial was sent to Chang'an by Tang Jian more than half a year ago, that is to say, at that time, he had already determined that there would be delegations from more than 100 countries in the Western Regions, Central Asia, West Asia, and Tianzhu. Datang participated in this grand event, but in fact, until now, there will only be more countries to come, because in more than half a year, there are still many countries that they can leave, and it is estimated that they will start returning after the new year.

You know, during this period, the combined population of the entire European continent, Central Asia, and West Asia would be at least one to two hundred million. Even if half of the countries did not come, the population base would be two or three times that of the entire Tang Dynasty. It is not uncommon for a national event to attract millions of people.

Moreover, these people who came to Datang may not all come to watch the competition, some may be for business, some may be for study, and some may even be for the spread of religion, because you are strong, you are rich, Then you are doomed to be attractive to ghosts and monsters in all aspects.
