The Turks may be lacking in other resources, but there is absolutely no shortage of wood.
In addition, the technology of burning cement and bricks is now quite mature, the building materials are in place and the amount of construction labor is huge. The main body of the commercial street was built in just over a month.
As for the fine decoration, there is no need. After all, the people Tang Ping wants to receive in this place are not the dignitaries and wealthy businessmen like Chang'an Luoyang.
Various shops have also begun to open for business, many of which were brought by Li Tai from the Central Plains.
"What does this announcement mean?"
At the gate of Guizhou City, countless people gathered in front of the bulletin board.
In Guizhou, the literacy rate is still lower than that in other parts of the Central Plains, and many people are still illiterate.
Therefore, the Guizhou City Yamen arranged for several Yamen servants to read loudly there.
"It's the end of the year, and Duke Ping is sympathizing with everyone. In three days' time, the Guizhou City Open Day and the opening of the commercial street will begin."
"Xiao Liuzi, don't be official, tell me, what is an open day and what is a commercial street opening event?"
An acquaintance shouted to the yamen officer. The yamen officer called Xiaoliuzi was not annoyed and continued to say loudly: "On this open day, everyone is allowed to visit Guizhou Camp and Shangcheng Tower..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.
"Going to the city tower to visit? Can't we go and see the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty?"
Although Guizhou City is at the junction of the Turks and the Beiyan Protectorate, nearly one-third are from the Tang Dynasty, and even some Turks are now accustomed to thinking of themselves as Tang people.
They have been famous for the Tang Dynasty Divine Cannon for a long time, but it is impossible to get close.
I heard that even in the army, no one can get close to the powerful Tang Dynasty cannons on the city tower.
So Xiao Liuzi said nothing, and the people below were all shocked, and then looked at Xiao Liuzi expectantly.
"Ahem..." Xiao Liuzi coughed. He originally wanted to give it away, but looking at the eyes of the people below, especially the familiar neighbors, if he continued to write ink, he might not be able to get any good results. So he quickly said: "Yes, everyone can line up to visit the Guizhou Camp and the Tang Dynasty Divine Cannon on the city tower."
Not to mention these common people, in fact, even he, a government official, had never gone up to the city tower to see the Great Tang Shenwei Cannon. After all, this was a border city, and the city wall was the most important place controlled by the border army.
Xiao Liuzi heard from the yamen's master that this was said by Duke Ping, and that it was specially arranged to increase the cohesion of the people of Guizhou, increase their sense of pride, and make the military and civilians closer to each other.
And this kind of open day will be held from time to time in the future.
"What about the shopping street opening event?"
"This opening event is also a good thing!" Xiao Liuzi continued to say excitedly: "Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? Duke Ping specially brought a lot of good things from the Central Plains..."
"Hey, how can we afford those things?" Xiao Liuzi was interrupted again.
"Isn't that right? I heard that Chang'an's perfume is the same price as gold. Why do you want to make your body smell so fragrant?"
"Hey, Erhei, I remember when you married your wife, didn't you just say it was because your wife smelled good?"
"Go away, my wife is born with it!"
A few words from the onlookers below revealed that the building was crooked.
Xiao Liuzi also wanted to join the discussion, but the problem was that his task today was to read and explain the announcement.
So I could only shout at the top of my lungs: "Can't you just listen to what I have to say?"
"This opening event not only offers huge discounts, but also provides various rebates and draws. In addition, Ping Guogong also built a Sifang Theater with music from all over the country, and it's free!"
"Are there any songs from different places? Is there any music from Fujian? I haven't been home for many years. I remember my father took me to listen to it twice when I was a kid."
"Yes, you can't even listen to Guanzhong's music here. If Duke Ping can really invite people, not to mention free of charge, I would be willing to pay some money!
"
When they heard that there was singing, the reaction of the people below was no less than when they heard that they could visit the Tang Dynasty Shenwei Cannon.
There are few entertainment activities at this time, and there are even fewer border places like Guizhou. The Tang people here have left their hometowns to come here to make a living.
Their nostalgia for their homeland may be difficult for modern people to understand.
So when they knew there was such an event, everyone was excited.
"Okay, okay, this is what it is. Let's all tell each other. Ahem..."
Xiao Liuzi was really going to lose his voice, but he still shouted responsibly: "Also, if you have anything to sell, Duke Ping will also set up a flea market for everyone, so that everyone can sell it there. .”
"Xiao Liuzi, why is it called a flea market? Could it be that only those with fleas can enter?"
"Now that the weather is cold, it's not easy to find fleas!"
Xiao Liuzi was a little speechless. He didn't understand why it was called a flea market. It was so itchy when it jumped on his body. But since it was named by Ping Guo Gong, it didn't really mean that only people with fleas could enter, right?
"That's the name, but it didn't say that only those with fleas can enter! Okay, that's all the content of the announcement. Ahem, I have to go drink some water."
Xiao Liuzi left immediately. These people were still wondering what questions to ask. Although he was called to read out the explanation, he actually didn't know many things.
And I have to finish my errands quickly today. The boss said that as long as I finish my errands in the past few days, I will be responsible for the tour duty on the tower. Then I will have to choose a powerful cannon from the Tang Dynasty. nearby location.
Xiaoliuzi all ran away, and the people in front of the bulletin board naturally dispersed, but the news spread quickly in the city.
Although the entire Guizhou City has not yet celebrated the New Year, it has become more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Tang Ping has brought so many troops here recently, and the construction of commercial streets has always been useful to the people in the city. Many people have made a lot of money. If they really sell things cheaply as the notice says, then they can really Buy one or two to prepare for the New Year.
There are also places to go up to the city tower to see the mighty cannon of the Tang Dynasty, visit the Guizhou Army Camp, listen to music at the Sifang Grand Theater, and buy and sell things at the flea market, which are all very attractive.
With much anticipation, the Guizhou Army Open Day and the opening of the commercial street have finally begun.
In the city, the most popular thing is naturally to visit the Tang Dynasty Divine Cannon.
"Everyone, line up and come one by one!" Xiao Liuzi shouted from the top of the city tower with a loudspeaker issued by the yamen.
"Everyone can visit for three minutes, see and touch."
