After Tian Meng was sent away, Li Ke's housekeeping work was fully taken over by Shi Yu. In fact, there was no need to take over. After all, they were Tian Meng's deputies before, and they would handle all the matters Tian Meng handled first. The arrangement is then handed over to Tian Meng, who then makes a decision or passes it directly to Li Ke.
And Liu Hong also took over all the work of Li Ke's inner palace, including Qin Wangzhuang, Qin Wang's Mansion and other different residences, mainly internal affairs.
"Your Highness, your next work is Datang's first fashion exhibition, which will be held the day after tomorrow." Shi Yu said.
"I understand, have all the people who should be invited been invited?" Li Ke asked.
"Yes, Your Highness, all the guests have received our invitations and responded to us." Shi Yu nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll go there in person the day after tomorrow." Li Ke nodded. Li Ke still had to attend the fashion show.
Speaking of which, Li Ke had never done such a high-level job in his previous life, but this life was different. Now that he had the conditions and opportunities, he naturally had to organize them.
Two days have passed in a flash, and the first fashion exhibition of Datang will be officially held at the Huiyue Theater in Datang's Evernight City. The original theater stage will be built in the middle to become a T stage, which will be used to display clothing for everyone.
This clothing exhibition is divided into several parts. The first part is a fashion exhibition, such as an exhibition of all the clothing of the brand "Jin", including the shirts and horse-faced skirts worn by Changle and the others, as well as various different A variety of clothing styles will be on display.
Of course, the patterns and colors of these costumes can be worn by the public. In fact, the costumes currently not allowed by the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty are only one color, plus two special patterns of dragon and phoenix.
There are no restrictions on other patterns, and it will naturally be impossible to impose restrictions in the future. It is estimated that dragons and phoenixes will gradually be opened up in the future.
Patterns and colors may be gradually opened in the future, but unique dragon robes and other styles will definitely not be opened, and uniforms cannot be completely opened to ordinary people at any time.
In addition to the brands under Li Ke's name, some more sexy clothes will be on display. Regardless of whether anyone wears them, they will be made first. In addition, some special fabrics will be on display.
The first two are related to Li Ke's clothing brand, which is regarded as proofing, and the last one is related to the entire textile industry of Datang.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to summon so many people from wealthy families this time?
The textile industry is a very important light industry in any era, and it is even more important for industries that have not yet been fully developed.
It's just that the textile industry in Datang will probably be differentiated in more detail in the future.
For example, spinning mills, weaving factories, etc. will have their own exclusive factories, and they will focus more on their own factories.
Female textile workers will inevitably begin to rise gradually over a long period of time.
As long as the price of cloth drops to a low enough level, people don't mind buying some better-looking and better-wearing cloth for themselves.
Although it is said that this time Li Ke summoned almost all the important people from the world's wealthy families and businessmen to participate in this fashion show, it actually did not take much time.
Because... most people are enjoying themselves in the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty.
It has been mid-to-late May since Datang Evernight City opened for business during the Lantern Festival. In nearly three months, the flow of people in Datang Evernight City has not decreased.
To be honest, Li Ke felt like he was visiting scenic spots on holidays in later generations. You can imagine how big the flow of people was.
Li Ke still underestimated people's pursuit of excitement during this period. Let's not talk about those who spent money in the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty. Just talk about the many workers and people in the surrounding factories. They may not be able to afford spending here, but they have nothing to think about. Take a look around here.
After all, this is a brand new city, and it is completely different from Chang'an. The magical electric lights, extremely clean and tidy city roads, and completely different styles of city buildings allow people to spend a day shopping there.
Moreover, the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty has also become a dating mecca for many young men and women in the Tang Dynasty. Many talented people and beautiful ladies have come here to watch comedies, listen to books, or have a meal together and stroll around the city. Every corner is full of interest.
In particular, many of the shops here are not similar to the traditional shops in Chang'an, such as the large windows made entirely of transparent glass. Sitting inside and drinking a cup of afternoon tea, you can look out at the trees on the street through the windows. , the flow of people coming and going is a very novel experience.
At night, the entire snack street in the city that never sleeps is also a place with a very large flow of people. Compared with the top second generations or families, the largest number in any era is the middle class, whether they come to Chang'an from all over the country. Scholars, family members of various officials, and family members of various small and medium-sized aristocratic families were the main consumers of the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, these kings and nobles from the thirty-six countries in the Western Region are also part of them, and their number is not large at all.
As for the various delicious snacks on the snack street, because Li Shimin bought some food here on the first day of opening, there is no distinction between high and low when eating here.
Many people want to experience this novel way of eating, and these snacks are really delicious, so the flow of people on this snack street is huge every day, and there are many children hanging around here.
In three months, the turnover of the entire Datang Evernight City can be said to be unprecedented.
Because Datang Evernight City has formulated detailed systems in terms of turnover and income since the beginning of its construction, and it is very complete in terms of taxation, so the tax revenue for three months can basically be calculated.
Of course, there are still loopholes in this. After all, it is almost impossible to completely achieve income statistics like those of later generations, but there is probably no problem in achieving one.
In three months, the total commercial tax of Datang Evernight City can be close to 1 million yuan. Of course, the tax collection can reach this amount because the commercial tax ratio of some industries here is higher than the 3% business tax set by places such as Lingnan Road. 10 % income tax is higher.
For example, the tax rate for brothels and other businesses is 5% business tax and 30% income tax. The main reason is that the income in these places is too high. The rewards given by customers to these brothel girls alone are a very huge amount.
3 months, 1 million yuan! The entire Datang Evernight City paid nearly 4 million yuan in taxes throughout the year! It's equivalent to about a quarter of last year's national treasury.
