Chapter 468: Weihe Park
In early summer, there are obviously more people in Chang'an than in winter, and people from all over the world gather here to see the style of Chang'an, the national capital. The road was bustling with pedestrians, and the newsboys shuttled back and forth, shouting and selling. On the edge of the Wei River, several pavilions were built near the water, and the Wei water was brought over from the side, and the water surface flowed under the wooden floor of the pavilion close to it, and there were cushions and desk tables placed next to the water, only people sat there, and then it became the grand scene of the flowing water.
There were a lot of people wandering around, all wearing long robes and holding folding fans, and they looked like clouds, and from time to time you could hear a few chantings coming from nowhere, accompanied by a few cheers.
The winding water flows, looking at the mountains in the distance, the wind is warm, and the scenery is pleasant. There are flying flowers and weeping willows. The boat on the river is shaking, and the curtain is moving upstairs. Invite three or two celebrities, make an appointment with a few confidants, take the stage to enjoy the scenery, and be endowed by the river, which has become the favorite place for Chang'an literati to visit.
The water flows here gently, the water surface is open, and a platform is erected in the center of the river, standing tall.
Xia Hongsheng glanced around, nodded, and said, "Yes, in late spring and early summer, Chang'an Jingsheng, this is the place!" ”
"Childe, since the weather is warm, there are a lot of tourists here, and it has become a scene in Chang'an, but there is no name, so people can't remember. It is advisable for the prince to name this place as soon as possible, and it is not in vain that the prince has worked hard to build such landscapes. In Xia Hongsheng's identity, Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile.
Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "I don't steal credit." This is the king's shopkeeper to supervise the construction, naturally regarded as the king's shopkeeper's credit. I have already agreed with all the shareholders that when the civil and military meeting is over, I will give the king shopkeeper a few more shares, which can be regarded as a reward. ”
"Don't dare! If it weren't for Childe's design, how could there be such a beautiful view? The villain is just watching and doing work, where is the work? The shopkeeper bowed and said.
"Don't say that. The winery is thriving under your care, where can you find other people's wine in Chang'an now? This is your business work, and I see it all. Xia Hongsheng shook his head and said.
The shopkeeper of the king bowed and bowed: "The villain bows to thank the son!" Please also ask Childe to name this place! ”
Xia Hongsheng thought about it, and suddenly grinned very evilly, and said, "En." This place is on the shore of Weishui, and I want the people to come here to enjoy it...... The place where the public can visit the park is called Weihe Park! ”
"Weihe Park?" Shopkeeper Wang pondered for a while, but he couldn't figure out Xia Hongsheng's intentions, but since it was Xia Hongsheng's order, he had to follow it: "Yes, the villain knows." ”
"Well, go back and put a sign on it, and make a stone tablet. The inscription on it says that this garden is built for the benefit of the public, providing play, leisure and exercise for the people, and is written by the Tang Royal Wine Workshop, the Glass Workshop and our industries - raised by these merchants, and will always be open to the public for free! Xia Hongsheng explained.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "Understood!" Childe is going to write an article, the intention of writing about this garden, is to let the people have a place to see and enjoy, and then it will be built by our several industrial joint ventures. For the benefit of the people. In this way, as long as it is the people who come here to play. These industries will be remembered, and it is also a kind of propaganda! ”
Talking to smart people is to save trouble, Xia Hongsheng nodded, the facts that had been there before told Xia Hongsheng that the shopkeeper Wang would definitely be able to do this matter in line with Xia Hongsheng's mind.
It was originally built as a venue for the civil and military conferences. Xia Hongsheng asked Yan Lide to design the drawings, and he modified some on this basis. Then he handed it over to the king's treasurer, and never took care of it again. This is the first time that Xia Hongsheng himself has come to see it, and the scenery in front of him once again proves that Shopkeeper Wang is indeed a good subordinate and capable. has a brain, has a heart, and can perfectly complete the affairs handed over to him.
In later generations, Xia Hongsheng, who had visited many garden tours in the south and north, was also very surprised after seeing the open garden built by the river in front of him. There are more traces of natural structure than artificiality - in fact, the result of artificiality is cleverly disguised into nature, making people look as if it is a natural formation in the original nature, Xia Hongsheng himself did not expect that the effect would be so good. I like the weeping willows on the other side of the river the most, standing on this side, I am seeing the graceful posture of the weeping willows swaying in the wind, fluttering and swaying gently with the wind, like the long hair of the moon fairy standing in the wind.
At the beginning of the summer in Chang'an, the civil and military conference is finally about to start at the end of this month.
Most of the literati who came to play participated in the tour, as can be seen from their conversations. Because Xia Hongsheng saved the face of several Hongwenguan bachelors, this literary meeting is widely known, and many people will come to participate. There are many famous schools in it, and when the time comes, it is estimated that Luanzhou Academy will also come.
There is also the platform in the middle of the river, which is the ring of the martial arts. Whoever gets off the platform and falls into the river is considered to have lost. Of course, there will be several boats waiting underneath, and if someone falls overboard, they will be immediately brought on board to ensure their safety.
It's going to be a very busy time!
Xia Hongsheng laughed, when the time comes, all the snacks and games on the Jingyang set will be put on the table, and it will also generate income and seek some benefits for those villagers.
It wasn't until the evening, after watching the sunset on the water, that Xia Hongsheng went home, and said that when he was on vacation in the next decade, he would bring Xu Hui and Li Lizhen, Yuexian and sister-in-law to come here to play, and it should be a very happy thing to have a picnic on the green space by the river.
When I went back to the house, there was only a ray of sunshine left in the sky, and I was about to order the meal, but I heard that Arhan had been waiting at home for an afternoon.
Xia Hongsheng then arrived in the hall, where Alhan was waiting, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng going back, he immediately ran over and saluted.
"How?" Xia Hongsheng asked.
"Master Hou! Arhan went back and thought about it for a long time, and felt that this World Exposition was indeed very good, but it was not something that Arhan could open alone. Arhan said to Xia Hongsheng: "So ......"
"Ben Hou will also help you open it together, you just need to do it according to Ben Hou's instructions." Xia Hongsheng said.
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Arhan saluted again, and said: "However, Arhan has an idea, so I came to report it to Hou Ye and begged Hou Ye to see if it was appropriate." ”
Xia Hongsheng was a little surprised, and looked at Arhan with interest: "You say." ”
"Master Hou, the little one wants to unite the Hu merchants in Chang'an City to hold this World Expo together!" Arkhand said: "The small one wants to organize all the Hu businessmen and hold this international exposition together. The small ones start first, and then they can also exhibit their things in the fair, and earn some business for them, of course, if they want to exhibit their own things inside, they have to pay for the small ones! ”
Xia Hongsheng laughed: "Okay, this is a good idea, you can try it." (To be continued.) )
