"I...we...we don't want to leave!"
Finally, both of them couldn't hold it any longer, so they grabbed each other and sat on the bridge and shouted.
At this time, the two staff members guarding the bridge stretched out a long bamboo pole and asked them to put it on their chests. They pulled it down with a whoosh.
"Huhu!" After coming down, the two of them realized that it was such a cold day, but their backs were all soaked.
"How is it? Is it really so scary?" Some onlookers came over and asked.
"It's really scary. I told you that when you walk into the middle, it feels like... it's just like when you dream at night and dream that you are suddenly lifted into the air. Do you know that feeling of being unable to reach the sky or the ground?"
There were many people who were familiar with the two of them, but seeing these two usually timid people frightened like this aroused their competitive spirit.
Don't you two usually laugh at us for being less courageous than you? If we cross this bridge today, who will laugh at whom later?
With this idea in mind, several more people immediately took out their coins and bought tickets.
Then some of these people couldn't hold on and were dragged back, while others rushed over bravely.
But no matter whether they have passed it or not, they don’t feel that the five cents are not worth it.
"Dali, awesome!"
"Hahaha, Dali is still very powerful. Just now I went up and felt like I couldn't get out of my breath, but Dali passed right away without blushing or out of breath. From now on, I will just say, surrender!"
"Hahaha, there, there seems to be some people buying food there! I'm treating you!" He patted his chest vigorously and led the people towards the snack street.
After crossing the glass bridge, walking forward is the Special Economic Zone, but what are these people doing in the Special Economic Zone? It's surrounded by walls and no one can get in.
Naturally, we have to take the free bridge back to Chang'an.
And Tang Ping put the snack street here. Those who have crossed the bridge cannot avoid this snack street if they want to go back.
After people experience some stimulation, it is easy for people to have a desire to eat.
And except for the first two people who were dragged back to the original direction, those who gave up later were basically dragged to this side of the bridge.
So gradually, the business on the snack street has improved. There were also many people who came to watch the fun, but they didn't dare to go up the glass bridge, and they thought it was not worth spending 5 cents to go up to the bridge.
It just so happens that it’s noon now, and look at those people opposite eating so deliciously...
Well, you’re here anyway, why don’t you try some of their food here!
In the snack street, Tang Ping also used the method of many snack towns in the past, selling tickets at the entrance.
You buy a ten-cent or five-cent ticket, go in and eat, and you'll be charged as much as you want according to the price.
If you don't use it up, the outlet will refund you the money.
The tickets received by those vendors are divided 82% by management.
The prices in this kind of place are slightly higher than in the city, so the vendors have no complaints.
At the end of the day, just from the tickets and the share of the snack street, I made more than 40 guan. Excluding the money for the staff and deducting some maintenance fees, I made at least 30 guan!
Calculated on the basis of one to seven, the income on the first day was 210,000.
And this is only the first day, the name of the glass bridge has not been fully opened, and the reception capacity is far from saturated.
According to Tang Ping's estimation, if it reaches saturation, the daily income will be at least close to one hundred guan.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was no concept of tourism or tourist cities, nor the concept of corresponding scenic spots, so Tang Ping built such a bridge and was able to make a lot of money every day. Even Li Shimin didn't understand what was going on.
Tang Ping was carried into the palace by Li Yuanji, and when he came to the Xiande Hall, Li Shimin said angrily: "Now, it wasn't your third uncle who came over and refused to invite you into the palace!"
"Hehe..." Tang Ping touched his head and smiled: "Isn't this the wife of the family who is pregnant?"
"Come on, I don't know you yet!" Li Shimin glared at him, and then threw him a note.
"Let's see!"
"What is it?" Tang Ping knew that if it wasn't heavy (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Li Shimin probably wouldn't ask Li Yuanji to take him into the palace if it was important.
When I opened the folder, I saw that it was sent by border troops from various places.
The writing in the booklet is complicated, but after summarizing it, it can be summarized in one sentence: All countries are increasing their troops on the border, putting Datang's border defense under even greater pressure.
"Hey...this...is all caused by Hou Junji!"
Li Shimin said sadly. Hou Junji originally conquered the world with him, and he has always trusted him very much, otherwise he would not have given him such an important place as the Turkic Protectorate.
But I didn't expect that he would actually launch a war against Beiyan for his own selfish desires.
Although the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded as a result, Beiyan was actually a relatively useless place for the current Tang Dynasty.
Because of this war, other countries have increased their defenses against the Tang Dynasty, even Tubo and East Vietnam, which had frequent trade with the Tang Dynasty, were no exception.
Even the wool trade with Tubo suffered some setbacks as a result, completely disrupting Datang's strategic plan for the next few years.
"Second uncle, you showed me this thing, and I can't think of a way to do it!"
There are no outsiders here except the three of them, Tang Ping said helplessly.
"I didn't ask you to recruit me!"
Li Shimin had already figured out what Tang Ping was capable of in the past few years. Asking him about such strategic matters was like asking a blind question.
He came to him today for something else.
"In one month, envoys from various countries will come to Chang'an to pay tribute. On the one hand, they want to please us, and on the other hand, they want to see our Tang Dynasty's attitude. They have to find out whether we have expanded outwards. intention of."
Seeing that Tang Ping still didn't understand, he could only continue: "I called you here today because I want you to think about how to package our Tang Dynasty or Chang'an into a place of singing and dancing, and it is best to let envoys from various countries I feel like our life is very comfortable.”
"And because of your relationship with Hou Junji, and because you have taken in so many people from Beiyan, you have to come forward to let the public opinion out, that is, the Tang Dynasty does not want to attack Beiyan, and attacking Beiyan is completely a matter of Turkic Protectorate. Protecting Hou Junji’s personal behavior!”
Li Yuanji explained on the side: "Brother Huang means that you take me to find out all the fun things, and we show them to the envoys, and then you spread rumors. No, it is to spread the word to show that our Datang manner."
"Is this useful?" Tang Ping finally understood what the two of them meant, but he still doubted the effectiveness of this.
"Don't worry!" Li Shimin said confidently: "This country is the same as its people. In fact, they all only want to see what they want to see. What all countries want to see most now is a Tang Dynasty that sings and dances in peace and has no ambition to make progress. As long as If you do this, someone will believe you."
