Li An in the Lishan breeding base, with several emperors and grandchildren after eating and drinking enough, after leaving, the Chinese New Year is about to be, this is the last time he goes out to play this year, and he will be able to enjoy the beautiful lanterns every day.

In many eras, the lanterns are only available on the 15th Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, but at this moment the Tang Chang'an City is an exception, in order to create an extremely strong New Year's atmosphere, in the 28th of the New Year, the lanterns have begun to run, and they run every night, and continue until the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Because some of the merchants' lanterns have not yet been built, so, at the beginning, the lanterns are the least, and later as the lanterns made by the merchants are completed one after another, the night of Chang'an City will become more and more brilliant, and it will reach its peak on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

That is to say, during the Chinese New Year, there are lanterns to enjoy for more than half a month, which is simply the rhythm of carnival for half a month.

However, not everyone has the opportunity to participate in the carnival, such as the soldiers and officials in charge of patrols, they have the responsibility of maintaining law and order, although they can also see beautiful lanterns every day, but they can only see the lanterns every day in the area they are responsible for, and they can't go to other places to see the scenery as they like ordinary people, and the personnel in charge of cleaning and sanitation also have to work overtime, but they can all receive multiple times the salary, and it seems that it is not a loss.

In addition, Chang'an never sleeps everywhere with lanterns, it must be crowded, the popularity is not ordinary, how can businessmen miss such a good opportunity to make money, if they don't take this opportunity to make a big profit, they are sorry for the title of businessman, ordinary hawkers who make dim sum, will also take this opportunity to set up stalls near the lanterns, tourists who are tired of enjoying the lanterns can sit down and eat some snacks, the hawkers can earn some money, and tourists are more comfortable.

As for the vendors who buy knick-knacks, there are even more, such as pottery piggy banks, small lanterns that can be held in your hands, wooden toy swords, and so on.

In short, the lantern festival for more than half a month can bring huge business opportunities to Chang'an City, everyone can earn money through this lantern festival, as long as you are willing to do it, you will definitely be able to get what you want.

After the second day of the Lunar New Year, the flow of people watching the lantern festival will drop a little bit day by day, and on the fifteenth day of the first month of the last day, the flow of people will skyrocket again, and then the lanterns will be dismantled, waiting for another lantern festival in the coming year.

Every year, the lantern festival is very lively, and this year, through Ang Lee's clever plan, the scale of the lantern festival has expanded many times, there are at least three large lantern festival venues in the capital, and there are more small ones, and the flow of people will be diluted to a certain extent, but with the population of Chang'an City, even if the lantern festival locations are scattered to different locations, it will also be very lively, which is just to meet the needs of more people, so as not to appear more serious crowding again.

If the flow of people is not large, too calm, it is not very fun, only the flow of people is interesting, but the flow of people is too large, it is not necessarily a good thing, no more and no less flow of people is the best way, and the flow of people in Chang'an City in previous years is obviously too much, so that many people are not looking at the lights, but looking at people, the crowded scene is full of too many uncertain risk factors, in case of a stampede, it is a disaster.

In the best few years, almost every year of the Lantern Festival, there will be large or small stampede accidents, which have also caused casualties, thus causing great disasters to the injured families.

It's just that the people who have accidents every year are ordinary people, there is no big background, they die unexpectedly, and they don't pay much attention, and even, the lantern festival can be held as usual, Datang's annual lantern festival will not be forced to cancel because of a few ordinary people, unless something big happens, in that case, the lantern festival may be canceled.

However, as a civilized person, Ang Lee naturally doesn't want to see such a tragedy happening at the Lantern Festival every year, even if it is just an ordinary person who has an accident, it is an intolerable tragedy, and it is something that Ang Lee never wants to see, so he came up with such an idea.

The Chinese New Year lantern festival is a lively scene, ordinary people will almost participate in such a grand event, some people can go to see the lantern festival every day, and some people want to watch it every other day, and for the elite like Ang Lee, there are some restrictions when they go out to watch the lantern festival.

After all, accidents and dangers for ordinary people will not have any impact on the entire Tang Empire, but once there is an accident among the elites, the impact will be relatively large, because it will be a very big loss for the empire, especially for talents like Li An, in case of an accident, it will be an immeasurable loss for the Tang Empire.

And there are so many people watching the lantern festival, if you mix with a large group of ordinary people, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, so many powerful people go to see the lantern festival to open the way with a large number of guards, and even take a special road directly, that is, the road that ordinary people can't walk.

For example, the original lantern festival location is a street outside the palace wall, so that as long as you stand on the city wall, you can see the gorgeous lanterns below, and walking on the city wall, you will not be disturbed by a large number of people below, and the probability of danger can be greatly reduced.

Ordinary people walked the streets, watching the lanterns little by little, but the powerful could walk on the high city wall, condescendingly admiring the beautiful scenery, and by the way, the ordinary people below also appreciated it, and from the heights, you could see the scenery that ordinary people could not see.

The magnates standing on the city wall must control their behavior, in case they are in a good mood and take out some coins and throw them below, it will cause very serious consequences, and regardless of the harm to ordinary people caused by the fall of copper coins from a height, just the snatching of ordinary people is a very dangerous thing, in the case of a large number of people, once there are many people competing for coins, there may be a stampede accident, many stampede accidents in recent years, it is said that it is caused by the powerful throwing rewards, but because no one dares to offend the magnates, so, it became gossip.

During the Chinese New Year, Ang Lee generally chooses to watch the lanterns in the distance on the upper floors of the restaurant, unless it is late and there are not many people on the street, he will take his family to walk on the street.

This is all for safety, nothing is more important than safety, however, standing in the distance to see the excitement, and directly entering the crowd, this feeling is definitely different, so, during the Chinese New Year this year, Ang Lee wants to enjoy the lanterns with ordinary people, so that you can also hear what ordinary people are talking about at close range, and you will have a different pleasant feeling.

But the safety issue can not be ignored, in the area where danger may occur, it is still necessary to avoid it as much as possible, and for this, Li Ang knows that he will not enter the dangerous area.

In addition, in order to better integrate into the ordinary people, Li An must be disguised, and he can't bring too many people, if the whole family comes out, it will be too conspicuous, even if Li An is wearing civilian clothes, it will be recognized, so if you want to go deep into the ordinary people, you must appear alone, and the guards don't need too much, two or three close to the body are enough, and there are twenty or thirty reinforcements within a radius of fifty steps, and there will be no large number of assassins on the streets of Chang'an City, No one has such guts.

"Wouldn't it be too dangerous for the husband to disguise himself and blend in with the ordinary people, there are too many people watching the lantern festival, and accidents will occur every year, or is it safer to go to the restaurant?"

When Li An said this decision, Yan Ruyu opened her mouth to oppose it as soon as she heard it, she was not against Li An, she was just concerned about Li An's safety, and the rest of the people also spoke up to persuade one after another.

"Don't persuade you, I've already decided, if you don't go deep into the people, how can you know the true voice of ordinary people."

Li An said.

After all, standing in the distance, you can only look at a rough idea, how can you understand whether ordinary people are really happy, or just come over to see the lanterns.

"Husband, what about us? Can I also reach out to the people? ”

Yan Ruyu took the lead and asked.

Li An thought for a while and said: "Of course you can, but you have to be with your husband, you can only take one person a night with your husband, and the rest of you will stay in the restaurant honestly!" It's okay to stay home. ”

Obviously, Li An is not worried about letting his wife and children go to a crowded area alone, which is too dangerous, and taking someone out casually will greatly reduce the danger, and if something unexpected happens, there are enough ways to deal with it.

"That's one person a day, taking turns to accompany the husband!"

"That's right, that's right, that's it, the lanterns will come on tonight, whoever comes first."

Li An said.

"Big sister! That's it in order, haha! ”

"Alright! Then start with Ruyu, do you want to play at home, or go to a restaurant in the city? ”

"Husband, the restaurants are full, don't you need to book in advance?"

"Husband can just say a word, which guy dares not to be interesting, you can order all the restaurants casually, and you can go wherever you want."

Li An said domineeringly.

As a high-ranking official of Datang, Ang Li still has this face, and it is absolutely possible to ask others to give up their seats, and many hotels have long taken into account emergencies, so many restaurants that are full on the surface are actually not really full, and there are still a small amount of vacancy.

Since you want to watch the lantern festival, you don't have to eat dinner, everyone just go to the big restaurant to eat, there are all kinds of delicious food, and you can also see the beautiful lanterns, which is definitely a great enjoyment.

The sky had just darkened, and dozens of people from Ang Lee's family set off, but they set off in two ways, all the way directly to the restaurant, while Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu went to another place by car alone, ready to experience a different lantern festival alone.

Because it was the first day, Li An did not choose the most prosperous near the palace, but chose the street near the East Market, which is also more prosperous, usually there are many more people than near the palace, but there are not many people over there during the lantern festival, after all, the lanterns close to the palace are the most best, and you can see the nobles in the palace if you accidentally look up, which is a very good conversation, and when you meet people in the future, you can brag about it, saying that when you look up and see the handsome princess in the palace, the princess still smiles at herself?

For many years before, there were no lanterns here, but the news of the lanterns here was obviously known by ordinary people, so even if the lights were turned on on the first day, there were so many people watching the lights here that the entire East Market next to it became a nightclub, and almost none of the shops were closed, all of them were in business, even if there was no business, they also turned on the lights to attract popularity.

The location of the vehicle is a little far away, after all, Li An came a little late, and the roads near Dongshi are already very congested, in this case, they can only get out of the car and walk, but fortunately, there are enough lanterns to extend to a long distance, so Li An and Yan Ruyu saw the gorgeous lanterns as soon as they got out of the car.

"Husband, what kind of lanterns are these! Never seen these weird lanterns before? ”

Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and saw that there were advertising lanterns of different shapes, many of which Yan Ruyu could never have imagined, and there was also a super large combination of lanterns, which could be seen from several miles away, and it was shocking to make the lanterns so big.

"These are the credit of your husband, since I made an advertising lantern for the mirror, and told the merchants to follow suit, these merchants are like crazy to make lanterns, only a few days of effort, so many lanterns have been born, and there is actually a huge giant lantern, this is all I didn't expect!"

Li An said.

Some lanterns are indeed what Ang Lee did not expect, because these lanterns are too big, a complete lantern, the length is actually more than 100 meters, the height is also the height of two or three people, and the width is not small, it is simply a giant, such a huge lantern, the cost of production is definitely not low, the most rare thing is such a large size, there is no drop in the details, there are all the details, it is simply a super-large hotel model.

Yan Ruyu's eyes were quickly attracted by the huge lantern in the distance, and she wanted to go over to see what was going on, and Li An also wanted to go over to see what this lantern was and why it was so big.

For safety, Li An was followed by three elite guards, and there were nearly twenty guards not too far from the front and rear, which was enough to ensure Li An's safety.
