After walking for more than an hour, I saw more than 100 lanterns on two streets, and after getting on the bus, it took less than half an hour, Li An and Yan Ruyu looked at all the lanterns on all the streets near the palace, these lanterns are taller and more beautiful than the lanterns seen before, of course, there are many similar to the lanterns seen before, for example, on the streets of Dongshi, I saw the advertising lanterns composed of more than 20 tall restaurants, and they also appeared on the streets near the Daming Palace, but, The lanterns in the restaurant here are taller and more delicate, which is much better than what I saw before.

This is enough to see that these merchants have made more than one lantern in order to promote their own stores, and this investment is really not small, and only wealthy businessmen can do it.

After browsing around, Li An went directly to the residence in the capital, this is an old house, and he has not lived in it much, after all, the accommodation facilities outside the city are better, and the place here seems a little cramped, but he is tired today, so he has to live here, and before he gets home, a large family in the restaurant has also arrived here, except for a few maids and guards, the rest have slept.

There is no task in these days of the New Year, in addition to eating, drinking and having fun, or eating, drinking and having fun, occasionally there will be some small things, and it will not waste much time to deal with it, basically you can finish things quickly, and then continue to eat, drink and have fun.

During the day, you can see the scenery inside and outside the capital, taste the characteristic snacks, and at night you can go to the lantern festival to see the lanterns, or, during the day, you can also prepare the food yourself at home, a large family gets together to make food, this is a very comfortable experience, although you have money to buy all the food, but you can make food and buy food by yourself, which is definitely different in feeling, the food you buy is soulless, and the food you make by yourself is the most soulful, It is more comfortable to eat because such food contains the taste of love and can be eaten with a warm feeling.

For the sake of safety, Li Ang only took one lady to see the lanterns every night, and the route he took was naturally different every time, so that he could see different scenery, and finally lived in a house in the city.

The lanterns of these days, is more and more abundant, when walking through the same section, you will find that the lanterns are more dense than before, some of the lantern positions have not changed, but the details are obviously a little changed, do more beautiful, this is mainly because the preparation time is not enough, there are many businessmen's lanterns made late, so, failed to take out the appearance on the first day, and although some took out the appearance, but because the details have not been done, so, the follow-up has been carefully crafted, Make the lantern look more beautiful.

On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the lanterns was the strongest, and the people who admired the lanterns on the street also reached their peak, and there were almost no places to put their feet on the ground, until the middle of the night, there were still many pedestrians, and the control of the vehicle was never contacted, and Li An had to walk to find the car himself, but fortunately, Li An was followed by a bud with better physical strength, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

In the first day of the new year, there are many people who see the lanterns, but there are slightly fewer than the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the second year of the new year is obviously a lot less, and in the next few days, it is estimated that there will be fewer and fewer people, and then there will be another peak in the fifteenth year, after that, these lanterns can be removed, after all, these big guys are very power-consuming, blocking the middle of the road is also very obstructive, you can have fun during the New Year, the whole country celebrates, but you can't celebrate all year round! Therefore, after the fifteenth year, these lantern facilities must be dismantled, which is non-negotiable.

The materials used on the surface of these lanterns, some are paper, some are cloth, and some are expensive silk, in short, what kind of materials are available, the paper must be scrapped after half a month, and the cloth can only be torn off at a low price, as for the high-quality silk lanterns, be careful to take them off, maybe they can continue to sell, as for the skeleton of the lanterns, some are metal materials, but most of them are made of wood, which is relatively cheap, and the wood will decay, Basically, as long as it is used for a few years, it will become rotten wood, after the lantern is disassembled, these wood can only be thrown away as firewood, even if the lantern is made again in the next year, new wood will be used, and many of these woods are modeled, it is difficult to use, the merchant will advertise the lantern in the coming year, it will definitely change in style, if it is unchanged, it will be too boring, the effect of advertising will be greatly reduced, and once the lantern made by themselves can not attract the eyes of the masses, the effect of advertising will be greatly reduced.

Like later generations, although the population of the capital is increasing, the demand for various commodities is very huge, but among the population who come to the capital, the number of people doing business is also increasing day by day, so, although there are many opportunities, but they are diluted by a large number of business groups, and the business is okay, but if you want to make more money, it still takes a lot of energy, and you need to defeat a lot of competitors, and there are not many monopoly industries like Ang Li lying down to make money, as long as there is no monopoly, The pressure of competition will definitely exist, and it will be more difficult to survive, and even have to sacrifice rest time to make up for the lack of income.

During today's lantern festival, most of the small vendors and merchants are open all night, even after midnight, there are almost no people on the street, but the big shops of small vendors and merchants, that are not closed, have been consumed like this, maybe occasionally can wait for one or two guests, but the income obtained by these small number of guests is not proportional to the labor they pay, and it is considered to be a relatively loss, not even as large as the consumption of lights and fuel, but many merchants are still willing to spend so.

This is also a business strategy, in order to increase the goodwill of your customers towards your store, so it doesn't matter much if you suffer a loss for the time being.

For example, some people, in the middle of the night suddenly need a certain kind of goods, is the kind of urgent need, but go out to find that a large number of shops are closed, the heart is very disappointed, at this time, if a store is not closed, then solve the urgent need of the person in the middle of the night, will get the customer's favor, in the long run, even if it is not in the middle of the night when it is urgent, will also take care of this person's business, this is a kind of emotional card, and with the awakening of more and more businessmen's consciousness, There are more and more shops that do not close in the middle of the night, which is called 12 hours of operation.

Such a store that is not closed will definitely have a much higher staff expenditure in terms of staff, because it is necessary to recruit employees who work night shifts, but the number is definitely less than during the day, because the number of customers at night is very small, and one or two gatekeepers are enough.

After the night does not close the door of the shop more, the environment of the whole capital has changed, no matter where you go before, it is deserted, even if there are street lamps are also very deserted, after all, the street lamp is a dead thing, it is a unified system, and people are alive, the decoration of the store is also different, a large number of shops along the street are open, personnel walk around inside, which gives people a very warm feeling, walking on the street at night will not feel deserted and scared, in case of danger, you can also hide in the store, The officials and soldiers who patrol back and forth are also very good security forces, and they are fully capable of maintaining law and order in the capital.

Before the soldiers of the capital patrol, are a large group of people, about ten people are enough, so when patrolling, the sense of security is enough, but if the number is too much, it is also a waste, in the case of fixed manpower, a group of more than a dozen people, then, the area that can be patrolled is much less, so, in order to be able to better patrol to each area, these patrol soldiers have also been reformed, a group of only three or four people, at most no more than five people, so that the efficiency of patrol has greatly increased, As for the case that you can't beat a tough opponent, you don't have to worry, because there are enough companions around, and there will be a small military camp stationed nearby, and these reinforcements will arrive soon.

After staying in the city for four days in a row, Li An and his family left the city and returned to their residence outside the city.

After the second year of junior high school, even if the year has passed, some personnel have begun to officially enter the state of work, and the relevant parts of the imperial court have also begun to enter the normal operation track, but this is only part of the yamen, and more yamen will not start to operate normally until at least the eighth day of the first month.

In view of the huge role played by the underground parking garage in Pingkangfang, many officials of the imperial court, after personally experiencing it, felt that this method was indeed very good, so they began to brew to continue to build underground parking garages in these prosperous places in the east and west cities, so as to alleviate the problem of parking difficulties and traffic congestion in these prosperous areas.

However, some people have put forward new ideas, and some ministers feel that since it is to build a parking garage under the road, why not simply build these parking garages longer, and communicate with each other, so as to become an underground passage, so that low-grade freight vehicles can drive on the underground road, and some dirty swill trucks can also go underground, so as to not only relieve the pressure of ground traffic, but also beautify the environment of the city, which is really a multi-task.

After this idea was launched, it immediately exploded among the high-level officials of the Tang Dynasty, and many powerful ministers joined in, and even some small officials who had no power began to care about this topic very much.

Such a great and cross-era concept is naturally to be boasted about in the Datang Daily, otherwise how can it be worthy of the achievement that he spent a lot of brain cells to come up with, and after this topic entered the newspaper, it immediately became a hot topic among the people in Beijing, and many people showed extremely strong interest in this idea.

The people living in the capital, whether they are poor or rich, are very dissatisfied with the traffic congestion in the capital, so as long as the imperial court introduces measures to control traffic congestion, all the people are in favor of it, but these measures must have a certain degree of operability, if there is no operability, the people will feel unrealistic.

For example, the construction of large-scale underground roads, whether it will cause the collapse of the normal road surface, whether the cost of construction is too high, to what extent, whether the imperial court's finances can afford it, what to do in case of a dangerous situation, once the underground road collapses, walking in it will be buried alive, it is estimated that no ordinary people want to be buried alive!

In short, after this topic is thrown, the hot topic on the streets is this, almost everyone will express their own opinions, let others listen to their opinions.

"Did you hear that? The imperial court wants to build underground roads inside the capital, and in the future, poor people like us can only go underground, and the roads above are for the rich. ”

"Why, why do rich people take the road above, let us drill holes in the ground, how scary the black holes down there."

"How can it be a black hole? There are street lights, there will be street lights underground, and there are places where ventilation and light are transparent, and it will not be very dark. ”

"Even so, it's still a good way on the earth, just go up and see who can do what to me."

"Don't talk nonsense, when did the Datang newspaper say that the poor can only go underground, it is to let some undignified trucks, swill trucks, and dung trucks go through the underground passages, and everything else can go up."

"But there aren't many of these cars! And how can the pressure of the environmental road. ”

"The underground road is as wide as the above, the middle is for cars, you can park on both sides, which can naturally relieve the pressure on the road, some cars are parked below, and there are fewer cars on the side of the road above, and the road is not wide."

"That's right! It's better to have an extra layer of road than none, but it's not easy to dig a road underground, and if it collapses accidentally, the damage will be great. ”

"How could it collapse? Since the imperial court has repaired it, it will not let the road above collapse, and the vicinity of Pingkangfang has almost been repaired, and it has been several months, and I haven't seen the road above collapse! ”

"That's right! However, building a road underground is a big start, and it costs a lot of money! ”

"The court has money, what are you worried about."

A group of people chatted in the streets and alleys.

From the content of these ordinary people's chats, it can be seen that ordinary people are still very concerned about the construction of underground roads, after all, this is related to the convenience of their future travel.
