Chapter 187 Popularity

The good sound insulation effect of the private room makes everyone, including those inner guards waiting outside, not sure what happened in the private room on the third floor. They just found that when the people inside came out, their expressions were all a little heavy.

Li Anran was not surprised at all about Li Shimin's undeniable attitude. To a certain extent, it was already a great success for the other party to not directly stop the commercial tax he took first and then reported on the commercial street.

Considering that the realization of commercial tax will have a great impact on the changes in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty. After sending away a group of Emperor Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and a group of ministers who were not even having fun in their meals, Li Anran prepared a memorial on commercial tax.

Li Anran also knew that such matters related to the national system can definitely be considered a big deal. It is impossible to implement it immediately just because of a memorial. Fortunately, what I don’t lack the least now is time, and I can wait slowly.

Moreover, the trial of commercial tax on Xinglong Commercial Street was not approved by Li Shimin, but it was not rejected. In this case, whether it was Li Anran or the ministers, unless they were stupid, they knew that this was already acquiescent.

After delivering the note, Li Anran no longer cared about the news that the commercial tax was interrupted. This trip was interrupted and had to return to the palace as soon as possible to discuss related matters. Instead, he took Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun to the lively atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival.

If the snack street is the most popular during the day of the entire commercial street, then when the night begins to fall, the most popular Xinglong Cinema, which has just started to open for business not long ago.

I just used a small LCD display screen. A few short videos were played outside the cinema, and the entire cinema hall was soon filled with news that had been known and a large number of people attracted by the short videos.

Although the screening hall of Xinglong Cinema is far inferior to those of the large cinemas in modern time and space, there are nearly 200 seats in the stepped hall. As a result, the first movie ticket was ordered in the blink of an eye.

When I learned that the screening in the cinema would last until midnight, many people who did not get the second and third tickets had decided to not go home if they didn't watch this movie today. Anyway, there are inns on the commercial street. By the way, they are called the Express Hotel, and the environment inside is quite good. I can continue shopping for one night tomorrow.

Considering that modern time and space movies have a big "generation gap" with the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran did not intend to play any blockbusters. Instead, he spent some money to buy the playback rights of a series of cartoons from the Shanghai Art Film Studio.

"Ma Liang, the Taoist priest of Laoshan", "Ginseng Doll", "Nezha's Sea", "Nine Colored Deer", "The Legend of Heavenly Book", "Miracle Flower", "Mirror Flowers", and the classic "Gourd Brothers" and other classic old cartoons with Chinese characteristics were almost all caught in one go.

Considering that although these ancient but absolutely pornographic cartoons are not very long, Li Anran also deliberately integrated a film according to the same type of theme in modern time and space. Fortunately, they played it in his own cinema.

Although these selected cartoons are just classics that some people recall the past in modern time and space, getting the time and space of the Tang Dynasty is definitely a visual enjoyment that has never been seen before, whether it is adults, children, men or women.

After the movie was played one night, after word of mouth, Xinglong Cinema had to play two players together and take turns to play for twelve hours, and movie tickets became the most popular thing in the entire commercial street.

If it weren't for Li Anran's repeated regulations that the station tickets were not allowed to be sold, so as not to have any problems. It is estimated that the screening hall with nearly 200 seats would be filled with people from the Tang Dynasty who wanted to see what this magical movie was.

After a day of trial operation, Li Anran, who was somewhat underestimated in adaptability to the people of the Tang Dynasty and herd mentality of joining the popular ones, found that he had ordered a large amount of money when he was preparing supplies. Otherwise, he might not have been able to hold on for these three days.

With the popularity of the movie, the next day soon came, which is the real Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The ordinary people who rushed to the commercial street with various ideas such as joining in the fun, watching novelties, and trying their luck the day before, when they reluctantly returned to their respective homes, they also boasted about the prosperity of the commercial street, various novel items, snacks and other things in the villages where each family is located.

Especially a few big-mouthed aunts who followed their men to do business together, they didn't take much effort to add fuel to the fire and promote everything they saw, eaten, and played with. In just half a day, they had a huge impact on Chang'an City and the Ten Miles and Bali Townships near Lantian County.

Especially for free lunch and dinner, the portions are sufficient, the aroma is fragrant and smooth, with soup cakes (noodles) poured with delicious braised pork, large chunks of pork and a spoonful of salty and sweet braised rice bowl. The taste is passed down through the mouth of these people, seducing many villagers to swallow their saliva while also getting interested.

In addition, there are various household items that are far cheaper than the market price, such as brightly colored cloth, exquisite jewelry, extremely sharp kitchen knives, exquisite dishes, salty and fat salty goods, etc., which make those big girls and young wives who love beauty and live a life in their homes are very jealous.

Anyway, the commercial street also said that as long as you come here to do business, even if you sell bundles of firewood or a few pairs of straw sandals, you can enjoy such free treatment. However, only the three days of the Spring Festival, after this time, not only are the free lunch and dinner gone, but even the cheap and sufficient items will no longer be at that price.

It is precisely because of this unexpected publicity effect that the number of people gathered to Xinglong Commercial Street the next afternoon was more than doubled compared to the first day. And the fun of the first day, many of the wealthy landlords and dignitaries who were crazy about the fun didn't leave and just lived in the express hotel on the commercial street.

Not to mention, I was originally worried that these places where they were obviously inns but were called hotels would be not comfortable enough or clean enough. But after checking in, I found that the single standard rooms, double standard rooms, multi-standard rooms, business rooms, luxury rooms and other different rooms here were so clean and tidy.

Moreover, the quilts and mattresses inside are brand new, especially the kind of thing called quilts, which is so warm that it covers the body. In conjunction with each room, there is a heating stove with a kettle. This night, you can not only drink hot water at any time, but also don’t have to worry about any charcoal poison. Even your skin is not dry, and you sleep so comfortably.

These rooms with different names also have their own characteristics. The higher the price, not only the larger the internal environment, but also the more comprehensive the supporting items and services. It is even said that in the most expensive and luxurious room, there is something similar to Xinglong Cinema. Although it is a little smaller, you can lie on the bed to enjoy the magical movies.

It was precisely because of these reputations that many rooms in several express hotels were quickly booked out. What surprised Li Anran the most was that the business and luxury rooms that were originally created were actually very good. By the afternoon of October 15, they were all booked out.

As a result, some customers who came late for various reasons were too late to live. In the end, the person below asked Xiangyun and obtained approval, and then temporarily pushed out the house that had not yet opened to serve as a hotel room, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the commercial street that was already a good start.

For those businessmen who are very sensitive in business, whether they buy snacks or enjoy movies, they can exchange for something called invoices for money spent. Although without Li Anran's explanation, even if these people can see something, they cannot interpret it thoroughly, the appearance of invoices has quickly attracted attention.
