Great Zhou Empress

When the new year came, Xue Zhijing held the first public polo match.

The noble concubine Yuan Hanzhang was promoted to the new queen of the Dacheng Dynasty logically, and she cut off nearly half of the people in the palace, and many people were punished and went to Huangzhuang to farm.

All of a sudden, the new queen Yuan Hanzhang found that the finances at the end of this year were suddenly a lot better, hahaha.

Therefore, she was happy to celebrate the New Year's polo match and asked for a big one.

This empress asked for a big event, so let's make it a big event and make it a city-wide party.

But when Xue Zhijing came to do this, he didn't just spend money, he had to earn money to do it.

She asked the people in charge of the three big houses in Bianjing City to cooperate with them.

Washe, according to Xue Zhijing's understanding, is a large-scale playground in this era. Some sell tickets, and some charge according to the activities after entering. Different activities are distributed in sheds. This shed is called "Gou Lan". ".

The activities of Washe are rich in content, including opera singing, storytelling, magic performances, acrobatics and animal taming, etc., almost covering most of the various entertainment activities in modern society that do not require high-tech support.

Compared with modern amusement facilities that rely on shaking and gravity to stimulate adrenaline secretion, she likes entertainment projects that win with culture like Dacheng Dynasty.

Happiness is not something that only terror can bring.

From New Year's Day (Spring Festival) to Lantern Festival, there are [-] days in total, Xue Zhijing plans to hold this event for [-] days.

In addition to the start-up funds given by Queen Yuan Hanzhang, Xue Zhijing also invited merchants from all over the city to invite bids. According to different investment ratios, they were divided into different levels such as title sponsors and partners.

Being backed by the royal family is always beneficial in this era. Xue Zhijing quickly absorbed a large amount of funds in the early stage.

On the day of the Spring Festival, the queen will worship the heavens and ancestors on behalf of the emperor, and ordinary people can watch the ceremony along the street.However, Xue Zhijing arranged for the title sponsors, partners, etc. to show some blessings to the Dacheng Dynasty, the emperor and the empress at a certain distance along the street.

For example, some banners were hung up, which read "Fengyutaibufang wishes the Dacheng Dynasty a prosperous country and the people will be safe forever", "Fengshengju Restaurant wishes His Majesty the Emperor a long life", "Xianghe Juguifang wishes the Empress a happy life and a healthy life" and so on.

When the queen's guard of honor passes by, there will also be etiquette personnel responsible for singing such words.

While coaxing the queen, he advertised for the merchants, and the common people watched the excitement, which really killed three birds with one stone.

Then the activities started the next day.

First of all, the discounts on the tickets of the major houses, a large number of citizens flocked in, and the farmers from the surrounding slack also came to the city to have fun.

Merchants who invite bids are allowed to sell their own items in the washroom, and there will also be a large advertising space in the washroom for merchants to advertise.

Then the preliminaries of the polo match officially began on the other side of the racecourse.

Polo teams all over the country can sign up for the competition. To participate in the competition, you need to pay the participation fee, and you need to buy clothing with advertising logos provided by the sponsor. The entire stadium is surrounded by advertisements, and there are commercial sheds for major businesses outside the stadium. thing.

At the same time, Xue Zhijing had already discussed with the person in charge of Washe that they would provide a group of storytellers to watch the preliminaries of each match on the spot, and after a few hours, they would go to various restaurants in the city to tell the story to the audience vividly. The state of the game.

This is the "ball game broadcast" of this era.

This will not only increase the business of the restaurant, but also push the enthusiasm of the entire polo match to the entire country. After all, no matter how openly the polo stadium sells tickets, only a small number of people can see it on the spot, and there is no TV to broadcast it. It is already a direct and economical way to show it.

Suddenly, the city of Bianjing was empty for thousands of people.

A group of people with the most funds went directly to the polo field to watch the game, consuming the entrance fee, seat fee, tea fee, explanation fee, and buying various products from the merchant during the break. The polo field also provides clay sculptures and wood carvings. Player peripheral products are sold at high prices.

Ordinary civilians, some of them went to various discounted washrooms to play, and there were so many things to play that they could spend a whole day in them without going out, and bought a large number of merchant products by the way, keeping the large-scale advertisements in mind.Some of them waited in the restaurant, ordering tea and eating dishes, listening to the storyteller tell about today's game.The most exciting thing is that advertisements are arranged between the storytellers, allowing some actors to advertise their products in the form of performances, and sell them at a discount on the spot.

It can be said that commercialization has reached the extreme.

After the first day, a large number of small wash houses and small businesses came to the door, but the resources available for the second wave were much less.However, considering that there were too many tourists, and several washrooms could no longer afford it, Xue Zhijing agreed, and quickly arranged for people to arrange various advertising spaces, allowing them to share part of the advertising revenue.

In order to maintain order in the city, the forbidden army, led by Yuan Jie Gangduzhi, was stationed in the city and was responsible for maintaining law and order in various areas.

After all, it was the New Year, and the living conditions of the residents in Bianjing were much better than those of the peasants at the bottom. Except for some small frictions, no major problems occurred.

The preliminaries on the polo side went step by step to the end, and it was the finals on the day of the Lantern Festival, the peak duel of the four top teams.

Because Xue Zhijing had too much work to deal with, she withdrew her position and formed a team with Yuan Jin, Li Jing, Chen Tang and another very powerful boy. Their abilities are top in this country. Yes, naturally the team in the finals.

This day was also the time when the empress came with the prince, and the emperor felt breathless even when he moved. Recently, he heard that his eyes were still blurred, so naturally he would not come.

But even so, the seats in the entire stadium were robbed like crazy, and the family of officials naturally wanted to watch it, so as to make a good relationship with the queen prince by the way.Arranging their positions and receiving their non-stop visits really tortured Xue Zhijing to death.

Finally, the finals began.

This time, the empress sat by the side with Imperial Physician Sun, and first gave the prince a bowl of calming soup, really afraid that something might happen to him.

This time, Xue Zhijing directly sat next to them and acted as the guide himself.

"Now the pioneer is Chen Tang. Although she is a woman, she is born with supernatural powers. Her dynamic vision is beyond ordinary people. We often have not seen the trajectory of the colored ball. She has been keenly aware of it, and she can arrive in advance. , hit the ball, often in that moment, the situation of the whole game will be reversed.”

The queen drank tea with a smile and said, "Xiaojing, you are really like that storyteller now. You can speak vividly and non-stop. Haha, listening to your explanation is more interesting than watching it myself."

The prince also nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Xiaojing, I'm cute, you listened to what you said."

Seeing the young man's adoring eyes, Xue Zhijing was very satisfied, but when she looked at the queen, she suddenly felt a sudden twitch.

It seems that she can't perform anymore. After performing better, the queen should feel that she is very suitable to be the concubine of the crown prince.

Then it's not fun.

During the game, a large number of officials and officials came to visit the queen. The queen had a chat with them and completed today's social tasks.

Xue Zhijing sent the players' woodcarvings to the prince to play with. This is a set of woodcarvings of the members of their royal polo team. The royal products must be high-quality goods, and the carvings are lifelike. The energy is blooming.

The prince really couldn't put it down.

The officials who came over naturally saw it, and naturally they would have one of them after the game.

The price of wood carvings produced by this royal craftsman is quite high.

In the evening, there is also a grand Lantern Festival.

Empress Yuan Hanzhang was extremely happy today, changed into a man's attire, and under the care of the hidden guards, walked with Xue Zhijing for a short distance on the long street where the lantern festival was held.

Yuan Hanzhang was born in an aristocratic family, and he was well-educated since he was a child. She couldn’t beat any of the crossword riddles on the lamp, but she had guessed several of them. Xue Zhijing held a revolving lantern in his left hand and a carp lantern in his right, laughing. He patted Yuan Hanzhang's flattery.

"Our son is really a Wenqu star descending from the sky. Guessing these lantern riddles is as easy as drinking water."

Yuan Hanzhang gave her a blank look, "Praise me? Why didn't I guess any of them when I saw you? It seems that you not only need to practice calligraphy, but also need to read."

"Yes, yes, what the young master said is true."

Yuan Hanzhang walked a few steps, and suddenly said softly, "Xiao Jing, are you really unwilling to be Yan'er's concubine?"

???

Xue Zhijing took a deep breath, since Yuan Hanzhang had already talked about this, then she might as well do it thoroughly, lest the other party mention it again later.

"Yes, I think that being His Highness's concubine is something that all the girls in the world desire, but I am a person who loves freedom too much by nature. If you allow me, I even want to go out to the cabinet workshops in various places." Look, I also have selfish intentions, I want to see all the beautiful scenery of this country, such as picturesque rivers and mountains."

Yuan Hanzhang took a deep look at her, smacking his lips, "It's a beautiful scenery, picturesque mountains and rivers!"

Trapped in this imperial city, the supreme ruler of this country may never be able to personally experience the beautiful scenery and picturesque mountains and mountains that she has carefully cared for for the safety of the country and the people.

After a long time, I heard her say, "If you don't want to, then forget it."

The next day, Xue Zhijing started to sort out the account books, checking the activity income for the past half month, excluding the expenses, and sharing accounts with several wash houses, there was a lot of surplus.

When the report was presented to Yuan Hanzhang, the other party was still a little surprised. After all, activities in the past have always cost money, and so much money can be recovered. Does Xue Zhijing's brain look different from hers?

For the first time, Yuan Hanzhang doubted his IQ.

"Yes, I think in the future, I will arrange more financial work for you. You must be the reincarnation of the God of Wealth."
