The Qinghai victory a few months ago has already excited the people of the Tang Dynasty, and has not yet fully recovered. The subsequent World Expo event has inspired the enthusiasm of the public.

Not only the people in Chang'an City actively prepare for the event related matters, but the surrounding prefectures and counties also took advantage of the slack farming in Chang'an in late autumn, and they increased their knowledge while applying for work.

Although some old-school and conservative people think that the World Expo will grow the trend of fetishism, and material desires are rampant, which is greatly harmful to the people's education. However, in life, hard work and years of hard work are nothing more than a better material life.

With the improvement of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, the development momentum of the World Expo has been rapid and its scale has increased year by year. From the exhibition of one or two venues at the beginning, the exhibition of one or two thousand products has expanded several times, and its influence has been increasing year by year.

This year's World Expo has just entered the preparatory stage, and the momentum it has shown is far greater than last year.

According to the data released by the Social Supervision Office, which presided over the exhibition, the number of merchants booking booths this year has reached more than 7,000, which is far more than 4,000 last year. These merchants are also from all over the world, and the goods they want to exhibit are as many as tens of thousands of projects, truly reaching the level of the universal gathering and expo.

Because of the accumulation of experience over the past few years, although this year's World Expo is larger in scale, the preparations for related matters are complex and orderly. The Social Supervision Administration has divided more than 30 exhibition parks of various sizes based on the region and commodity categories, and their locations are distributed in various areas inside and outside Chang'an City.

Some of these exhibition parks are arranged by the government, while others are distributed to various agencies to prepare for themselves, and various fortifications are underway. The people of Chang'an City are also paying close attention to the preparation process of the exhibition parks and have formulated a ranking according to their respective scales and styles.

Among these exhibition gardens, the most popular one is the Fanpian Exhibition Garden in Jianfu Temple in Anrenfang. The "Fan" here is not the Xifan, which is generally called the Huhu in the Western Regions, but the Fanpian in Tubo.

The Tang Dynasty had just fought with Tubo in Qinghai, and it had been a disaster for half a century. The people were excited and were full of curiosity about the strong enemy of the plateau. They wanted to see the style of the characters and have a clearer understanding of what kind of enemies they had previously stepped on under the iron hoof of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, it is said that the precious goods purchased by the Li Xueshu family in Sanyuan, Longqingfang, will be built here for exhibition, which also makes Shi Liu full of curiosity and hopes to see it with his own eyes.

Various gimmicks that are closely related to current hot topics have made the attention of Jianfu Temple's Fanpian Exhibition Garden far surpass other exhibition gardens since its preparations, and it can be said to be a leader.

It is said that in the quotes to the Social Supervision Commission, the price of a booth alone exceeds tens of thousands of stocks. After all, the more you get attention, the more you display the goods you display can be seen by more people and can also be sold at a higher price. When it comes to riding on the popularity, the wisdom of ancient and modern times is roughly the same.

However, Jianfu Temple is still closed. It is said that a high tower is to be built in a benchmark for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of Dacien Temple. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has only seven floors, and this new tower is planned to be nine floors. After completion, it will become the tallest tower in Chang'an City.

Since the tower is still under construction, the preparation process of the Jianfu Temple Exhibition Park has slowed down and will not be opened to the public until the second half of the World Expo in mid-October. If this were not the case, I am afraid that the booth would be hyped up to a huge amount of 100,000 yuan.

Of course, even the current price is already very amazing. It should be noted that although the land price in Chang'an has been rising year by year, it only takes a few thousand yuan to purchase a large-scale residential property, and the location can be selected in Dinghaofang District.

Now it is just a booth, which is a radius of more than ten meters in size, and it is time-consuming. It is worth tens of thousands of yuan, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. I just think these wealthy merchants are really rich.

Of course, the high bidding price of the Jianfu Temple exhibition is due to the accumulation of various current affairs factors. There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court and the wealthy goods worth more than 20 million yuan. As for the rental prices of other exhibition parks, it is not too exaggerated. Most of the best exhibition parks are between dozens of them.

As for some large exhibition parks organized by the government, they are open for free, but the selection of exhibits must be more stringent. As long as they are selected, it means that they have sufficient quality assurance.

On the first day of October, the World Expo officially opened. Prime Minister Ge Fuyuan led relevant officials and representatives of trading clubs to the temple to worship the sages of all dynasties with a longer-term economy.

Such ritual sacrifices were not available in previous years. However, with the prosperity of commerce and the surge in various commercial taxes, they have now become one of the important financial sources of the court. Of course, they must also create a sense of ritual in the tradition of rituals and laws.

In addition to the innovation of rituals, the court actually had to make some innovative changes in personnel systems during the winter selection this year, which was basically to separate finance from politics, and a pattern of three provinces and one station will be formed in the future.

The three provinces are no longer the previous Secretariat, the ministry and the Secretariat, but the government, finance, military, and Taiwan are the censors. The scope of supervision should be expanded and the functions should be strengthened.

The people paid little attention to the personnel reform of the court. After the World Expo opened, they flocked to those exhibition gardens that opened in succession to enjoy the various gifts given by the world to the world, as well as the style of all craftsmanship and skillful creation.

Among the first batch of open exhibition parks, the most popular and largest was the weaving exhibition park organized by the Shaofu Weaving and Dyeing Department.

The four major causes of food, clothing, housing and transportation, are the first. In addition to the basic function of covering up cold and heat, it is also related to shame. It has different animals and the beauty of clothes. It is called Hua. It is a major event that penetrates into the national genes and is also a strong skill for all summer and people.

Although flying money is popular nowadays, it has become the first choice for bulk trade settlement. However, in the small business transactions of folk money, silk money is still in parallel. Therefore, people flocked to the weaving exhibition gardens, and in addition to enjoying the exquisite textiles, they also went to see the money.

Even though these silk and brocades do not belong to me, as long as I see them piled up on the booth, I feel a sense of satisfaction.

The weaving exhibition garden was arranged in the outer garden of Daming Palace, covering an area of ​​more than 50 hectares and a vast area. Even so, when the park was opened on the first day, there were still many tourists, shoulder to shoulder.

These exhibited goods include silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, silk, etc., and there are even more types of specialty fabrics in various states.

Among them, the colorful garlands in Hebei are fine and smooth, the brocade in Shuzhong is complex, and the silk yarn in Jiangnan is light and transparent, all of which are amazing. Shortly after the exhibition began, wealthy merchants from all over the world actively made reservations. Especially those Hu merchants who had a lot of travelers were even more confused and waved flying money bills to snatch and purchase them among the booths.

Most ordinary people cannot afford those expensive exquisite fabrics, but they are not completely rewarded except for feasting their eyes. In addition to the exhibition of fabric products, there are also many new looms and weaving and dyeing technologies for display at the exhibition. Many women gathered here for a long time and stared at them to learn these exquisite craftsmanship and add them to their women's workers.

The outdated people believe that the Expo is full of material desires and conflicts, which is also a blind eye and ignorant of the general principles. In addition to displaying various commodities at the Expo, the promotion of crafts and tools is also extremely strong.

For example, in the southeast corner of the weaving exhibition garden, a park is set up to create a complete set of hemp spinning processes, and the people of the old etiquette workshop's hemp spinning workers gave a full set of demonstrations from reinforcing hemp to weaving.

Although linen is not considered top-quality among fabrics, it is the most important clothing material for ordinary people, and hemp is a cash crop that is everywhere in the countryside.

The entire process is streamlined and optimized, with clear steps. Even ordinary people who don’t understand this can understand the general idea after reading it once, and the finished products are more delicate, soft and tough. Although the process is difficult to make huge profits, small households can always make a little improvement in their spare time in their farming.

The weaving exhibition garden receives tens of thousands of tourists a day, and the food garden led by Guanglu Temple is also very popular. Food and color are the most desires of people, and they are even more pursuing to eat and never get tired of essence.

The food garden originally organized by Guanglu Temple was arranged in Da'anfang in the south of the city, and there was a Yong'anqu area passing by. As a result, before the World Expo opened, the exhibition venue was crowded by the merchants who requested a booth. They had to choose another location and arranged some of the venues near Xi'anyuan in the north of Tai Chi Palace.

By the day of opening, the people were enthusiastic again, and almost all the two parks were crowded, so that the Guanglu officials had to sit in the whole day and sent more troops to strengthen defense, which shows how powerful the foodies in Chang'an City were.

The people's pursuit of food greatly increased the labor force of Guanglu officials. The new official Shaoqing, Li Longji, Wang Linzi, almost had time to get familiar with the duties, devoted himself to busy affairs and was arranged to sit in the North Park outside Xi Neiyuan all day, and even had no time to go home to rest.

"Xu Shaoqing is indeed a meticulous and capable minister. The customized regulations are detailed and orderly, and it saves the complicated process."

Although it seems very busy, what the King of Linzi needs to do is also very simple. He just needs to sit in the hall to approve the subordinates to sort out the submitted documents, so naturally someone will arrange the handling. The drafter of all these procedures is Xu Junchen, another Guanglu Shaoqing, whom King of Linzi had wanted to get along with.

No one doesn't like such a shrewd and capable colleague, so when Li Longji saw his subordinates wandering inside and outside, but he was able to relax in the straight hall, he couldn't help but praise his colleague who had only met a few times.

"But this story of Xu Shaoqing is messy, and his character cannot be called noble. In his early years, he was punished for being sentenced to commit suicide and was fat. The king should be more cautious when interacting with him!"

The yamen was busy, so Li Longji took advantage of his position to arrange a position as a Zhenxiucheng as Wang Renjiao, who had previously served him. Such a low-ranking official is not eye-catching and does not require the court to be awarded the title. Once a vacant person is vacant, the superior can directly be appointed in the office.

When Wang Renjiao heard what Linzi said, he couldn't help but advise. Although it has arrived in the Kaiyuan New Year, Xu Junchen's reputation and deeds in the past year are really bad. With a little visit, it is not difficult to know.

Not to mention that Wang Renjiao missed his fortune and was not without resentment towards all the new nobles of the dynasty. He looked down on Xu Junchen's guy who had a change of appearance and had a stance from the bottom of his heart.

When Li Longji first learned about Xu Junchen's life experience, he actually felt a little resentful and hesitant, and did not dare to contact him casually.

But when Xu Junchen was rampant with cruel officials, he was just a child emperor in the Youjuyuan. Even though Xu Junchen framed the emperor's heir to rebel, the main pressure was only his parents and elders. He himself did not have any resentment towards Xu Junchen.

"Ah Zhong has a narrow plan. People must focus on the present after all, but it will benefit me, so why bother to investigate the past? Duke Cao treats me coldly. If you can return to the world, you will also be helped by Xu Mouyan."

Hearing Wang Renjiao's words, Li Longji smiled and said, "Besides, the demonic atmosphere was everywhere, and people in the world wanted to ask for everything, but no old things that were ashamed of. Even today... I'm sorry, although Xu's story is unbearable, it can be seen that it is not completely unattracted. The court still uses scholars to ask about the past. Since I am in charge of the affairs of the people, I don't have to stay away from it..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Renjiao who was still waiting to argue, and then sighed: "Of course, people's hearts are so dangerous, let alone my family... only two or three people can be honest with each other."

Hearing the king say this, Wang Renjiao stopped arguing and smiled and said, "This grand event is the only thing you can appreciate in the food garden. Only when the king is hardworking can he show it. You can see it with your eyes. After the matter is over, you will surely be promoted to a certain period of time!"

"Don't think about the funeral afterwards, and do your best to do your best."

After hearing this, Li Longji smiled and shook his head, and then said, "How is Shouyi's recent move in Fangfang? The party in Dongyuan was disturbed by Yao's party a few days ago. The original plan could not be carried out. Now I will divide a exhibition park and gain a little bit of power. Those Hu merchants should no longer be lazy in visiting."

Speaking of his son, Wang Renjiao's face showed a proud expression: "This kid is indeed a bit of a bad talent in the market. He has won over a group of people, formed a club, and bought an exhibition garden in Dongcheng. However, the exhibition garden is a little narrow and not very popular, and it still needs to be popular. It convinced the Cao family in Jiliao, Dongcheng to enter the chicken fight hot field, and there should be some improvement..."

After hearing this, Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, but couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Li, a scholar in Longqingfang, bought a rich purchase in front of his home. If there is a Duobao Pagoda in Jianfu Temple, he will lose his appetite. Miscellaneous places in other places may not be able to achieve much sales. In short, do your best."

After chatting for a while, it was already lunchtime. An official entered the hall to invite the King of Linzi to the cafeteria. However, after thinking about it, Li Longji waved his hand to refuse. Instead, he walked out of the hall and walked into a tent outside the exhibition park. This was the garrison and dining place of the soldiers in the Beijing camp.

Seeing the King of Linzi coming, the soldiers stood up to greet him, but Li Longji waved his hand and smiled and said, "You guys continue to eat, I'll share a meal here. I'll work hard all day long, and it's inevitable that people will be tired and their spleen and stomach will be exhausted..."

Although they were not the same system, the soldiers did not dare to neglect the king. They quickly welcomed the people into the tent and served the food diligently.

Li Longji might think that eating with the soldiers could reflect his manners of being respectful to the wise and humble, but he didn't know that after he entered the tent, several soldiers gathered together and couldn't help complaining: "This king is here to eat again. We can't enjoy the freshly steamed lamb and the hot deer legs of the pine branches...."

The soldiers outside the tent held tiled jars in groups to eat, and there were different situations inside the tent. Several generals from the Beijing camp were accompanied by a group of people, and there was a hint of distantness in their politeness.

The King of Linzi smiled and was very polite to everyone. He raised his hand to point at a big and round meal delivery servant with a smile: "I have served the class several times, but I still don't know the name of a hero..."

"The slave name Wang Mao Zhong is not a Benshi in the Jingying camp, but a slave who belongs to the inner garden. He has a low reputation and dare not ask the king to mention it!"

When the soldiers heard the king's inquiry, they immediately looked excited and kowtowed respectfully and replied.

Li Longji saw that the soldiers were majestic, but he didn't expect that they were just slaves, so he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, after looking at the person, he smiled and said, "Whether they are brave or strong or not, they have nothing to do with their own life. The slave is strong and will not be inferior to others for a long time!"

When the slave king Mao Zhong heard such comments, he was even more excited. After thanking him, he was even more attentive to cut his flesh and serve him. The pieces of fragrant and tender barbecue as thin as cicada wings were removed from the frying fascia, which made the King of Linzi praise him.

After eating, Li Longji was still staying to discuss the next defense issues of the Zhanyuan with several generals, but another official came hurriedly and reported: "Princess Taiping is about to enter the park..."

Although this aunt was invisible in terms of power and style, Li Longji did not want to show his arrogance in front of others to see her relatives. She could only grow up and quickly step out of the camp to welcome Princess Taiping.
