Li Shimin and the others were the first group, and behind Li Shimin and the others were various guards. After the guards entered, they were separated for a while, and then people began to be released at the city gate. The next people were the nobles of Chang'an City. .
The ministers followed Li Shimin and others in. As for the families of these ministers, they followed in this wave.
"Let's go, let's see how much fun this city of the Tang Dynasty never sleeps is!" Cheng Hualiang's voice was extremely loud. Yuchi Baoqi can't come today. It's his turn to guard today. It's too uncomfortable not to be able to enjoy this day. .
Behind Cheng Huailiang and others were envoys from various countries, and some were wealthy non-officials from well-known families, etc.
Jiang Quhu and his more than thirty younger brothers were also in this group.
"I'm telling you, when you go in, open your eyes wide. This is Chang'an! This is the most prosperous city in the world! The Western Regions, that's bullshit! You used to laugh at me and come to Chang'an to play, I promise You don't want to go back to the Western Regions in the future." Jiang Quhu said in a loud voice.
There was no other way. When the lights of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty came on just now, the bumpkins around him were all stunned. Their eyes were as wide as copper bells. Humph, they were a bunch of ignorant people.
When they started to move forward with the flow of people and entered the Tang Dynasty Evernight City, the sun in the sky had already completely set. Although the last afterglow was still in the sky, the dimmed sky combined with the lights in the Tang Dynasty Evernight City was simply unprecedented. Shocking.
Various pleasant smells from both sides of the street were constantly reaching their noses. They had not eaten before, but now they were all hungry. They walked to those stalls with some curiosity, and there were already many people surrounding these stalls.
In particular, a stall selling Xinjiang mutton skewers was crowded with people. I heard that His Majesty and His Highness the King of Qin just bought meat skewers here.
As for the name Xinjiang, their expressions were somewhat complicated, because Xinjiang was the original territory of their thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and now they have been merged into the Tang Dynasty and called Xinjiang Road, which means a new territory.
Jiang Quhu didn't have any complicated emotions about this title. In his opinion, the person who named it was unreliable. This is called Xinjiang. So what will the territory that His Highness takes over the Western Turks be called in the future? Update Xinjiang? The latest Xinjiang? Update Xinjiang?
Of course, Jiang Quhu just muttered a few times in his heart. Anyway, this kind of thing is not something he can decide.
When they came in, they originally planned not to eat from these roadside stalls. How many aristocratic and wealthy people have you seen eating these? But when they thought that the people who came before them were all nobles and famous families of the Tang Dynasty, they all ate it up.
They hesitated and bought some.
But once I started eating, I couldn’t stop eating.
This is too delicious! Compared with these foods, what are the foods from their Western Regions? Pig food? The point is, isn’t this a loss of money? There are so many spices. The spices over there are very expensive. Can ordinary people afford them?
The group of people quickly filled their stomachs at the roadside food stalls. Not to mention them, even Cheng Hualiang and others who came in earlier were planning to have a big meal, but this roadside stall actually attracted a lot of them. people.
"How's it going? I'm not lying to you, am I? Just for this bite, what place in the Western Region can compare? People live in this life, not just eating, drinking, having sex, being warm and full, thinking about lust, here is the ultimate enjoyment." Jiang Qu Hu said proudly.
Although they didn't want to admit it, they couldn't argue with it. If they didn't come to Chang'an, they would never be able to eat such delicious food in their lives! And it is said that there are many things from the sea here, but these can only be eaten in high-end restaurants, not roadside stalls.
"Let's go, let's go to Mingyue Tower to listen to music today. I'm treating you today. Only when you come here do you know what the highest enjoyment is. Only when you come here do you know why I don't want to be that bullshit king." Jiang Quhu was very proud. .
He now has no worries about food and drink, and because he was the first to follow His Highness the King of Qin, and he is a person who is willing to listen to advice, after selling Ruoqiang to His Highness, His Highness helped him buy shares in several trading houses, and he did not have to manage anything at all. , just need to take the dividends.
And the annual dividends... he probably won't be able to spend them all in his lifetime.
To put it bluntly, he, Jiang Quhu, is the one who can live in the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty and never go out for the rest of his life without any problems. Of course, after coming to Chang'an, Jiang Quhu also learned not to reveal his wealth. He would not say how much he could earn.
Didn't you see that so many nobles and nobles in Chang'an didn't say anything?
Someone is treating me, and I can gain some knowledge, so naturally everyone has no objection.
Of course, that means Li Ke doesn't know the life Jiang Quhu is living now. Otherwise, Li Ke will have to cause him some trouble. Good guy, you've already lived the life I've always wanted to live? And I sent it in person?
Li Ke and Li Shimin walked all the way to the center of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty, where the inner ring is located. Apart from a huge arena in the middle of the inner ring, there were not many shops left, and apart from the shops there was a huge square. , and here, there are the most various lanterns in the square.
Li Ke's final destination was the Huiyue Grand Theater, which was separated from the arena by a road.
And today there will be a brand new stage play, "Ghost Town" written by Li Ke himself.
However, the performance of the stage play will not start until later, and first after the first fireworks display of the Lantern Festival.
The fireworks show time is at 8pm, and the main performance location is above the arena.
There is a passage to go up there, and there is enough space to release fireworks.
Li Ke and the others are currently located in a box on the fifth floor of the Huiyue Grand Theater, which is the highest floor. This is basically the highest point in the entire Tang Dynasty that never sleeps, except for the arena.
It is also the place with the best view.
Here you can see the brightly lit Datang Evernight City, where the flow of people has gradually begun to spread in all directions. And the central square gradually began to have people flowing in, and more and more people came.
"It seems that your idea is right, but I don't know how much can be left here in the future." Li Shimin said while looking at the situation below.
Li Ke smiled and did not answer. Judging from the current situation of Datang, there will be more and more wealthy people in Datang, and the city that never sleeps in Datang is destined to become more and more prosperous.
"I remember you mentioned a law before, saying that it was strictly forbidden for the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to enter the Nightless City of the Tang Dynasty?" A sentence suddenly popped up in Li Shimin's mouth.
