It was getting late. Only the rain could be seen under the lights. There were no stars or moon.
The people were in their places. The surrounding stands were built along the mountain.
There were canopies on the stands. The canopies were slightly slanted so that the rainwater would flow to the back.
There were bamboo troughs at the back. The rainwater flowed into the bamboo troughs and continued to flow into the half-foot wide open channel.
There were words written in paint in front of each step of the stands. There were advertisements, such as a grocery store.
"Herbal Tea Eggs! Anyone want Herbal Tea Eggs?"
"Burrito, choose three of the six dishes."
"Hot jianbing fruits. Set up in advance. Two eggs. One coin per set."
"Anyone want roast chicken? Six months old tender chicken. "
"Popcorn. Li Family Zhuangzi's popcorn. Buy one, get one free."
"Rice cakes. Rice cakes with honey. One big piece is only 30 cents."
"Excuse me. Bamboo instant noodles. Free hot water.
Ah? You don't want noodles but only water? What are you going to drink? Borrow my bamboo tube?
Go get it from the side. Li Family Zhuangzi has it. You're too lazy.
Here, here. Remember to put it in the big basket outside. I still need it.
Buy another set of noodles? Thank you! I can see that you're a good person. You won't bully an honest person like me. "
The peddlers wore bamboo hats and carried poles as they walked on the horizontal and vertical aisles. They didn't dare to push their carts for fear of scalding people.
They didn't wear straw raincoats. If they got wet, they would get wet. If they didn't get wet, it was unlikely that they would get sick.
After selling one round, there was a big aisle outside. There was ginger soup provided by Li Family Zhuangzi. They just needed to drink a bamboo tube to warm their bodies.
The things they sold were cheap and were subsidized. Li Family Zhuangzi subsidized a part of it, and the monks subsidized another part.
For example, jianbing fruits. There were two eggs, five pork sausages, chopped green onions, coriander, fruit, and sauce inside. One coin per set was guaranteed to make a loss.
The subsidy was 50 cents. They made three coins.
One set was three coins. One hundred sets was 30 cents. It was quite a lot.
The key was not to get a subsidy based on how much they sold, but on how much they produced. If they couldn't sell, the Li Family Zhuangzi would take away the rest.
If they had the ability to sell ten thousand sets, the Li Family Zhuangzi would buy them without hesitation.
The instant noodle seller also went to Zhuangzi's service station to get hot water. The tin kettle was provided by Zhuangzi.
The commoners did not need to buy tickets for the ordinary seats. The VIP rooms with good seats were priced from one to a hundred taels.
Yu Huaide and the other tycoons of the capital government all chose the Baiyi Room.
It was agreed that the money from the ticket sales would be used to make extra warm clothes for the people of Grief Field Square and the children of the school.
The money given by the Chaotian Fund of the Tang dynasty did not count because it was delayed.
If there was any leftovers, they would add more dishes to Grief Tianfang. If there wasn't enough, the Li Family Zhuangzi would make up for it.
Wen Tian Lan Xiang Pavilion booked a good private room for the guests, and it was free of charge.
The monks and Daoists who participated in the construction and did not participate in the activities retreated outside, leaving no space for them.
They also built a shed, and there were no water curtains around it. Instead, they replaced them with big screens.
During the lectures and discussions, there would be images and surrounding sound, and people sitting far away would be able to see it.
"Brother Yi, did you invest a lot this time?" Li Longji asked on the yacht. The yacht was docked on the bank of the river.
"It can still be used in the future. When His Majesty holds a big court meeting, the scope can be bigger."
Li Yi did not care. It was practical.
It could be used for teaching students, showing cartoons for children, and holding large-scale entertainment activities.
He found someone to make the cartoons and a group of people to draw. According to the requirements, eight frames per second was enough.
The first cartoon was about the brave soldiers at the border fighting the enemy. In the future, when the movie was made, it could be broadcast all over the Tang dynasty.
Li Longji took a deep breath, "It's too rushed."
"Then we have more time to prepare than them. There are monks and Daoists who have good memory. They can remember it after watching it twice. Amazing!"
Li Yi sighed. As a senior monk and a Daoist, their knowledge was not bad. It was a pity that they studied religion and learned how to be an official to benefit the people.
He printed out a pile of books at the last minute. He did not have time to copy books from the later period of this era.
Including the Song Dynasty translations of various Tantric scriptures, such as human skulls, and the sacrificial offerings of boys and girls, he did not give any.
His group of friends and family members were cramming at the last minute, reading books. When the situation reached a stalemate, he would choose to ask the other party about Tantric Buddhism. Once he asked, he would be stumped.
"There are still three hours left. Brother Yi, why don't you rest for a while?"
Li Longji had slept before, so he was still energetic.
"I'll go check on Fan Fan and the others. Jiang Gang will return in a few days. There should be no problems on the way.
Also, the steam engine sent to Liangyou Road should be arriving soon. I'll ask.
Tell them not to operate it recklessly. If there's anything they don't understand, send me a report. I'll guide them. "
Li Yi turned and went in. He found a computer and a small robot to contact Fan Fan in the northeast.
"This matter is not over." Li Longji looked at Li Yi's busy figure and gritted his teeth.
"It's all my fault for being useless." Bi Goo was sad. The other party had initially looked for him, making things difficult for him.
"What does it have to do with you, Longze? I haven't been to Luoyang for a long time. There are people in the area who are up to no good. The monks and Taoists are also being used. "
Li Longji saw clearly. Henan had always been the base of many big families. Another place was Hedong.
Previously, it was a part of Hedong that schemed against Liu Chong. Now, a part of Henan was not reconciled.
"If I had been more decisive at that time, I would have just been cursed. Xiao Yi wouldn't have needed to worry about it."
Bi Goo hated some of the people he knew when he was the magistrate of Henan. They were actually being used, and it was also because of their own selfish thoughts.
Look at what they were doing recently. Look at what Xiao Yi was busy with. The difference was obvious.
Killing a group of monks and Taoists in the Tang dynasty did not affect anything.
If the Tang dynasty did not have Xiao Yi, it was simply unimaginable.
"I heard that you don't even dare to listen to 'Ignorant and Incompetent' now?"
Li Longji saw Bi Goo's guilty look and mentioned this matter.
"Your Majesty, why do you have to be like this? The two children are smart and quick-witted. If they are passed down in history, it will be a beautiful story. This old man is willing to be a supporting character. "
Bi Goo smiled. He was schemed against by the children. Very good!
The little girl was much more powerful than her junior brother. With just a few words, she pushed him against the wall.
"Next year, the two of them will take the Tongzi exam first. Longze, you will be responsible for it. Revenge!"
Li Longji told the four ministers and the people in the group that the two children were going to take the Tongzi exam. It would be difficult for them to make things difficult for them.
"Assistant Minister is enough for such a small matter." Su Yi was the first to retreat.
"Senior Minister is enough, right?" Zhang Jiuling asked. Even an assistant minister would be at a disadvantage.
"Why don't Little Qingdai take our pulse and we will consider it a pass?"
Song Jing suggested. Everyone nodded. This was a good idea.
"That's settled. Everyone, take the exam."
Li Longji insisted. This way, the history books would write that the little girl and Li Guicang were powerful.
Asking two nine-year-old children what the Tongzi exam was about? It was more difficult than being a scholar.
The exam was difficult, but the exam was also difficult.
Three and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye. Li Yi took a shower and changed into a new white coat.
Both sides prepared to go on stage. The stage was 33 feet high.
There was a small shed on the stage and a big shed below the stage. Li Yi's had nothing.
"Master Zhi Cong, come on stage and preach the Avatamsaka Sutra." Someone shouted with a microphone. The other party came on stage.
"I'm going up. This is new. The sound is small, but it can't carry two people."
Li Yi stepped on the new aircraft and waved to everyone.
