With Li Ke's support of a hundred silver taels, he was not lacking in funds for the time being.
Li Yin was officially busy. In addition to supervising the renovation of the entertainment city, he also had to interview the performers and storytellers. He also had to train the four singers sent by Li Ke and the few women he bought from the Education Department.
As for the few remaining people in the brothel, Li Yin did not chase them away and let them train with him. Although she was said to be ugly, she was not unsightly. She was slightly better looking than ordinary women, mainly because she was a little older.
The craftsmen worked for their own families, and the treatment Li Yin gave them was good enough. Every meal had meat.
In just eight or nine days, on the day that Li Yin's farm reached level 7, the renovation of the entertainment city was completed.
At Level 6 and Level 7, the farm had two crops, watermelon and rape, respectively. The mutated fruits produced by the two crops increased physique by 300% for 5 minutes and agility by 300% for 5 minutes.
Yesterday, he had learned the farm skill Enhanced Growth, which could shorten the growth cycle of all crops by 10%.
In addition, he had earned quite a lot of gold coins during this period of time. The fifth and sixth plots of land had been reclaimed, and he was only a few hundred gold coins away from the seventh plot of land.
With the addition of a mushroom plantation area, the speed at which he earned gold coins had nearly doubled.
At the same time, the EXP he gained had almost doubled. He estimated that he would be able to reach Level 10 in half a month.
Although the farm was very gratifying, Li Yin spent more of his energy on the entertainment city.
He had brought some mutant fruits to Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun yesterday. As he had expected, although Li Shiming was amazed by the wonders of these fruits, after asking and learning that it was not easy to cultivate such fruits, he did not continue to investigate this matter. However, the stingy Li Shiming would definitely not let go of such an opportunity. He asked Li Yin to offer twenty similar mutant fruits every year.
After putting in so much effort, he naturally had to get something in return. Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun had already agreed to bring Consort Yang Shu and the other princes and princesses to support Li Yin's entertainment city tomorrow.
Li Yin took the opportunity to send wedding invitations to all the nobles in Chang 'an. He also asked the guards who sent the wedding invitations to' quietly 'leak a message to them that Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun would be there tomorrow.
As a prince, his face might not be of much use, but with Li Shiming's name, who would dare not come and support him?
Apart from that, Li Yin also produced flyers. However, because paper was extremely expensive these days, these flyers were only distributed to rich businessmen and scholars. They were distributed to ordinary people, who could not read.
Early the next morning, Li Yin came to the entertainment city to make the final preparations.
Today was the opening day of the entertainment city, so there could not be any mistakes.
Fifteen minutes after the morning court session, the first guest arrived. It was Li Yin's third brother, Li Ke. He and Li Yin were considered family. When his brother's business opened, he came to help stand on the platform and accompany Li Yin to welcome guests. Otherwise, there would be too many people with status, and Li Yin alone would not be able to take care of them.
"Sixth Brother, how do you play this wooden ball? Eh, why is there something smeared on it? Which dynasty is this from?"
"Third Brother, this is called billiards! Come, let me show you." Li took a cue, placed his left hand on the billiard table, and placed the cue between his thumb and index finger.
Unfortunately, the ball did not go in!
Li Ke took a look." This is not bad. Interesting. Are there any rules?”
"The rules are all pasted on the wall. Third brother, you'll understand once you read it. If Third Brother wanted to play, he could go to the VIP room later. There was a set of ivory balls over there. It was more fun to play with than this wooden ball.”Li Yin said.
Li Ke walked to the wall. There were dozens of games on the wall. Other than billiards, the rest were all kinds of cards.
Li Ke only glanced at them a few times. They were all kinds of chess cards that did not have high technical content. Although the gameplay was novel, it was not attractive to him. When it came to chess, he only liked Go.
However, when he came to another room, Li Ke suddenly became interested.
There were about thirty sets of words on the wall. Li Ke read beside one of them,""Yidong. Heaven against earth, rain against wind. The continent versus the sky. The mountain flowers faced the sea trees, and the red sun faced the sky. Thunder was faint and fog was hazy. under the sun, facing the sky. The autumn moon is white in the wind, and the sunset is red after the rain. On the left and right sides of the two stars of the ox and the girl, there are two stars in the west and east. In October, the frontier fortress was blocked, and the cold frost frightened the garrison troops. Three winters on the river, the long snow cold fish old man.”
Li Ke immediately recognized that this was a couplet.
After reading these couplets one by one, Li Ke couldn't help but say,"Sixth Brother, once you release these couplets, I'm afraid Chang 'an City will be popular from now on. He was afraid that the ladies of Chang 'an would not be able to sleep at night again!”
Xiao Tian chuckled." Third Brother, you flatter me!”He had merely plagiarized Li Yu's work.
Although there had been profits since the Five Dynasties, it had only been circulated among the people in a very small range. It was a relatively unorthodox type, even more unorthodox than Ci.
Li Yin, on the other hand, had summarized the couplets for the system. Moreover, he could pick out several outstanding couplets from each set of words. For example,'The two stars of the ox and the girl, the two stars of the Shang Dynasty, the west and the east.' This was a very good couplet in itself.
If someone else took out these couplets, it might attract some attention, but this attention would not last long.
However, it was different when Li Yin took it out. Li Yin himself was a prince. Some time ago, a set of 'Li Yin's Poetry Collection' was printed out in 1,000 sets, with 10 copies per set. In the end, it only took half a day for it to be sold out. Now, each of the poems had been sold at twice the original price, and there was still no market for them. Many people couldn't buy it, so they could only buy some handwritten copies.
As long as Chang 'an City talked about poetry, they would not be able to avoid Li Yin!
Now that Li Yin had suddenly started playing with couplets, it would be difficult for him not to pay attention to it. It would definitely attract a group of followers, turning this 'niche literature' into 'popular literature'. Even the great Confucians of the various dynasties could not hope to make a style flourish. What was this called? This is called influence! Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:011720194:50PM
