The next morning, when Li Yuanxing was having breakfast, Cui Dunli had already arrived.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Cui Changshi, I plan to go out. Please make arrangements. I will go to Lanzhou. Then I will stop by to see King Yiwu." Li Yuanxing pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for Cui Dunli to sit down and talk.
After Cui Dunli thanked him, he still stood: "Does His Highness intend to put pressure on the people of Gaochang?"
"My king is going to Lanzhou for important matters. I don't pay attention to the people of Gaochang. Of course, I can go to Yiwu by the way, which can be regarded as letting the king of Gaochang live in peace for two years. In these two years, I can't spare the time to deal with them.
, fighting on two fronts is not good for the Tang Dynasty. If you want to defeat Gaochang, you must strike with one blow!"
Cui Dunli thought for a while and asked again: "Does His Highness need any accompanying officials?"
"I want the Ministry of Rites to send two people to follow, and then call Wei Ting. You and Wei Changshi will stay in Chang'an, and the original plan must be ensured to be implemented stably. Naturally, we cannot relax about the autumn harvest. I guess this king
It's already winter when we come back." Li Yuanxing explained the arrangements to Cui Dunli.
Cui Dunli calculated the time in his mind: "Your Highness, you must be back before the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. How to handle this year's New Year's celebration? Without His Highness in Chang'an, no one can make the decision."
Li Yuanxing nodded.
It is now the end of July in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuanxing said in his heart that the road from here to Lanzhou and then to Yiwu would be more than a thousand kilometers in later generations. The Datang Road is far less good than the modern one, but Li Yuanxing had to go
. Just walking past Li Yuanxing's full set of ceremonial guards would only take sixty miles, or at most eighty miles, every day.
It will take almost twenty days to reach Lanzhou.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Cui Dunli to request Li Yuanxing to come back before the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
"Your Majesty, please retire!" When Cui Dunli saluted and was about to leave, Li Yuanxing suddenly asked, "Why didn't Cui Changshi ask me why he had to go to Lanzhou?"
"Your Highness is the King of Qin!" Cui Dunli gave an answer.
Cui Dunli's answer surprised Li Yuanxing. Can he make trouble unreasonably? Or, the King of Qin has a good reputation and there must be a reason for what he does.
Li Yuanxing couldn't tell the meaning of Cui Dunli's words, so he simply didn't think about it so much.
Cui Dunli went to make arrangements for the trip.
Li Yuanxing, on the other hand, needed to arrange for his several princesses, who would stay and who would accompany them.
Last time we went to Luoyang, Lu Qiuyu, Li Liyuan, and Zheng Xiuyan were with us. This time, Li Yuanxing also didn't want to make the decision. It depends on how the princesses arranged it. It could be two people, or three people. At least one person should be left to look after the house.
, it is impossible for there to be no master in the house.
The seventh girl was actually in a meeting to discuss things.
Yuan Tiangang was in Chang'an and came to Qinwangzhuang before lunch.
"Before eating, there are some things I need you to see, Lao Yuan!" Li Yuanxing led Yuan Tiangang into the garden on the side of the bookstore.
The word Tai Chi originated from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. At least the documents found in modern archeology prove that Tai Chi originated from the "Book of Changes" written in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
The prototype of Tai Chi originated from Taoist Zhang Sanfeng in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties.
After going through the entire Ming Dynasty, he absorbed the essence of Ming Dynasty martial arts, combined with the Taoist guidance and breathing skills, and applied the ancient Chinese Yin and Yang theory and the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Use the mind to move Qi, connect the Ren and Du channels, and practice
With pulse, with pulse.
Therefore, Tai Chi is an internal martial art.
Li Yuanxing's set of Tai Chi is a descendant of the Chen family's Tai Chi. In fact, it was also in the late Ming Dynasty that the Chen family of Henan integrated and innovated Tai Chi into a complete set of boxing techniques.
Li Yuanxing's learning was not refined. It can only be said that it has its form, but the essence is not known.
Yuan Tiangang is different. He is a Taoist who has attained the Taoism and has a high level of physical and mental cultivation.
After seeing Li Yuanxing perform a few moves, Yuan Tiangang realized that this was a Taoist boxing technique, which coincided with the five elements of heaven and earth, and the yin and yang.
"Your Highness, what is the name of this fist?"
"Tai Chi!" Li Yuanxing breathed again, then stopped his movements and continued: "I only know its shape, but I don't know its meaning. It doesn't even stick to the fur, just because the essence may have been lost. Old
Yuan, do you have a way to improve it, but I know that with your pushing hand, even the old wolf may be thrown out by you."
"I need to think!"
Li Yuanxing didn't need to fight a second time, Yuan Tiangang didn't need the form of the boxing, he only needed a concept. What's more, with Yuan Tiangang's Taoist education, he could remember 90% of it after watching it once.
"Three months!"
"Can Pindao communicate with other people?" Yuan Tiangang asked again. After getting a positive answer from Li Yuanxing, he left without even having lunch. He did not return to Chang'an City, but went to Shennong Hall, where there are
A Taoist master-level warrior, or should be called a martial arts master.
After having lunch, Li Yuanxing ordered the light carriages to enter Chang'an.
Before leaving Chang'an for three or four months, Li Yuanxing needed to give Li Er an explanation.
Before Li Yuanxing entered the palace, he sent someone to call Li Yuanchang to the palace.
Li Yuanchang is like a mouse, and sitting in front of him is a very scary cat, and an even scarier and bigger cat.
Li Er and Li Yuanxing were talking and laughing, as if they were telling some interesting stories. But Li Yuanchang didn't listen to a word. He still didn't know why he was called here. This is the study room of the palace.
When his father was the emperor, he was very nervous about this place. Now he is even more nervous, because there was once a royal family motto in the Tang Dynasty newspaper, one of which was that the prince guards the country. In other words,
As a royal family, if the Tang Dynasty does not contribute, your generation may be the last generation of nobles, and your son will not be able to inherit the title.
He was called to the emperor's study.
How can this not make Li Yuanchang nervous?
"Yuan Chang!" Li Yuanxing suddenly shouted, and Li Yuanchang, who was nervous, almost fell to the ground. Li Yuanchang looked so pitiful that even Li Er couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
"How did you do what Fifth Brother asked you to do?"
"As for fifth brother, the Princess of Silla is easy to get in touch with, but Yuan Chang thought she had some kind of calculation in her mind and was always asking me about the government affairs of the Tang Dynasty. My younger brother asked Wei Changshi, and he asked me about it every night.
Send a reliable person to Brother Wei, I have already memorized what I can tell Silla Kinderman every day, and there will be no slips of the tongue!"
Li Yuanchang answered calmly.
Li Er and Li Yuanxing both nodded with satisfaction.
"Another thing that Fifth Brother explained was about the transformation of the city. Brother Chen just arranged for people to post notices in each village, and sent village officials to explain to each village. The people heard that Xinfang can be compared with Lemin Garden.
For example, most people moved to temporary settlements outside the city that day. Later, several officials from the workshops, which were mostly vegetable fields, went to Jingzhao Mansion to submit a letter and were willing to move out of the city. However, there were many rumors in Chang'an City.
"Fifth brother spent too much money on this city. The money should be used for military expenses. The Goguryeo people are unreasonable and should launch an army to attack them."
Li Yuanchang said a lot in one breath.
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and waited to hear Li Yuanxing's comments.
Li Yuanxing did not speak, but Li Er said: "Brother Wu Lang, I want to hear the report from Cui Changshi of your house. The cost of renovating Lemin Garden is about 180,000 yuan. Each store will decorate it by itself and renovate the flower beds in front of their homes. It will cost another
More than 70,000 guan were sold. If you renovate eight workshops, the rumors among the people in Chang'an are that the cost will not be less than 1.3 million guan, or even as high as 1.6 million guan. This amount of money exceeds the military expenditure during the Wude years.
sum."
"Ah!" Li Yuanxing opened his mouth, but not even a word came out.
"Hasn't Wulang calculated it carefully? I don't believe it!"
Li Yuanxing looked at Li Yuanchang and sighed: "Well, this was originally a secret. The real accounts are not disclosed to the outside world. Let's talk about Lemin Garden first. This is free of charge."
"No money!" Li Er stood up in shock. Li Yuanchang, who was originally kneeling on the floor mat, fell down on the main hall because he was too anxious to stand.
"My brother sold the movie theater. A wealthy businessman gave me three thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and eighty thousand guan of old copper coins. My brother provided him with films and paintings, and I received the profit from each film.
My brother draws three out of ten, plus one ten tax, and the twenty-two large and small shops in the theater building belong to him, and I tax three on twenty. In addition to a restaurant and a teahouse in front of the theater building that are sold separately, the nearby
The eight stores in the theater also belong to him, and I will pay one tenth of the tax!"
Li Er pushed forward the abacus on the imperial case: "Qilang!"
Li Yuanchang stepped forward quickly. If he didn't even know how to do this, he would definitely be dealt with by these two fierce brothers.
"Brother Imperial, Fifth Brother. There are about two shows in the Leminyuan Cinema every hour, with a quarter of an hour's rest between each show for cleaning. There are a total of sixteen shows every day. There are 560 seats in it, including
There are sixty special seats in the middle for one hundred cents, one hundred good middle seats for thirty cents, two hundred second-best seats for twenty cents, one hundred inferior seats for twelve cents, and one hundred side seats for six cents.
There are one hundred corner seats. In addition to the eight regular boxes and ten 500-pen boxes, the cumulative ticket revenue for each show is 27 taels and 800 cents!"
Li Yuanchang was really not slow in calculating, and he finished the calculation as soon as he said it.
"Brother Imperial, Fifth Brother. Sixteen games a day, that's 444 guan and 800 guan. In one year, it's a ticket income of 160,000 guan." After Li Yuanchang finished the calculation, he was shocked.
Even if the businessman only gets half of it, it's still 80,000 yuan a year.
"Actually, the park has just opened, and the people of Chang'an are still enthusiastic. Calculating from now on, it will be good if 70% of the people are seated."
According to modern thinking, Li Yuanxing's statement is not wrong at all.
But Li Er didn't think so: "Wu Lang, it's just that the people in Chang'an have money in their pockets. The movie theater must be full every day. Even if the time needed for renovation every month is subtracted, the merchants still have many shops to buy and sell. That's why.
But I know that the popcorn flowers alone sold three stones of corn on the first day."
Li Yuanxing laughed and did not take up the topic. He just said: "With the renovation of the eight squares, my brother can actually earn two million yuan." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
