Chapter 218 Negotiation
"Crackling..."
The red firecrackers shook the sky, dispelling all the cold air of early autumn. The southern suburbs are no longer as deserted as before, and are crowded with people and very lively at this time.
After the firecrackers rang, two lion dance teams came. The big lion chased the colorful ball and shook his head and ran over, pushing the atmosphere to the top.
"Okay! OK!" The young and old men onlookers applauded hard. The applause stimulated the two lions and made them praise them even harder. They jumped around the square in front of the archway, their lively and lively look very likable
.
"Please give me a plaque!" Someone shouted in the distance, and two lions rushed towards the other side, then circled around the plaque.
When the plaque was carried to Taifu Wen, the two lions began to roll around and act cute, and the big head kept approaching Taifu Wen.
Taifu Wen had never had close contact with this thing, and he didn't know what they wanted to do for a while. He just smiled and nodded, making the two lions even more anxious, jumping up and down to make people around him applaud.
Chu Ci laughed in his heart, then patted the servants holding the plate and asked them to go over to rescue the siege. The plate was filled with a bag of silver. At their suggestion, Wen Taifu stuffed the silver bag into a lion.
In his big mouth, the lion bit the silver bag and threw it at the other one, then bowed quickly, and then left in the direction when he came.
Mr. Wen suddenly realized, nodded with a smile, turned to Yang Tixue on the side and said, "It's quite interesting for these young people to do things."
Yang Tixue echoed: "Yes, the momentum is also huge."
After the lion left the stage, Chu Ci took a step forward and acted as the host. He gestured to everyone to calm down, and then said, "Today is the day to put on the plaque on the Nanjiao Cultural Park. Thank you all the adults and fellow villagers for your arrival.
The construction of the cultural park took more than a month. In such a short period of time, it all depends on our Beijing Chamber of Commerce. It was Chen Haiping who contributed money and efforts with other merchants to have a cultural park today.
We thank you all with warm applause.”
The merchants smiled and nodded at the people around them. Chu Siye's words gave them enough face, and their money would not be in vain.
"Of course, what we should be most grateful to is our priest. If we had not received the approval of today, this garden would not have been built. The original intention of building this garden was because he wanted the people to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world together.
The plaque written by the emperor was in front of everyone. He could not attend in person if he had something to do, so he asked the most respected Taifu Wen of the Great Wei Dynasty to cut the ribbon. Now, please ask Taifu Wen to take a step forward."
Taifu Wen took a step forward amid everyone's cheers, took the scissors tied with red silk handed over by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and carefully cut a knife in the middle of the plaque. The red silk covering the plaque fell to the ground, revealing it.
Four golden characters above - Cultural Park.
In an instant, there was a thunderous applause in the audience, and everyone looked at the plaque with respect. This was written by the emperor for their own hands.
The ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites shouted: "Auspicious time comes, burn incense."
A lot of incense was lit, and the officials and wealthy businessmen on the steps were divided into three.
"Worship the emperors of the four directions to pray for peace and harmony. One worships the Emperor Qinghua in the east, two worships the Emperor Changsheng in the south, three worships the Emperor Taiji in the west, four worships the Emperor Ziwei in the north." The emcee's voice dragged for a long time, and it sounded like a
It has a very ancient charm that makes people feel respectful.
The officials worshiped with incense and the people were also serious, clasped their hands together, and followed.
"Rise the plaque!" At the command of the celebrant, people began to pull the plaque to the sunken part in the middle of the archway, and then the craftsman went up to fix the plaque.
"Etiquette is completed!" said the emcee. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions couldn't help but relax a lot.
"Today's successful plaque hanging ceremony symbolizes that the construction of our cultural park has come to an end. This cultural park is dominated by Confucian culture and also has other schools. As we all know, August 27 is the birth of Confucius, the Holy Lord
The edict has been issued to all the people in the world to celebrate this Christmas together. Therefore, our cultural park will not officially open until August 27. At that time, we will invite all the fellow villagers to enjoy the garden together. In order to prevent everyone from going to the next day.
After returning home in disappointment, you can move to the east side of the square, where there are thumbnails of all the scenery of the Cultural Park that Chu has painted in the past few days. You can go and take a look first."
Originally, everyone was a little criticized about the opening of the park on August 27th, but Chu Ci said so, and they would not be unwilling to understand. The crowd moved towards the east side of the square, and there was no garden to visit. Let's take a look at the thumbnails first.
There are several large wooden boards on the east side of the square, and there are many paintings on the largest piece. These paintings are put together, which is the real scene of this cultural park. Chu Ci is drawn on a scale, and this painting looks very good.
Although realistic, although it is somewhat different from the popular styles now, it is enough for the common people.
After the ceremony, the wealthy businessman led by Chen Haiping invited the officials who came here today, saying that he had booked a restaurant in the city and invited them to have a meal together.
Because the government has benefited them this time, the garden is a joint venture between officials and businessmen, and it is reasonable to give them some shamefulness. The Wen Taifu, the biggest official in the field, thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.
While deliberately appreciating the face, flattering the mood, laughing and laughing at the banquet, making a happy scene.
After the banquet, all the adults were going back. Chu Ci was the youngest official, so he went to the door to see him off. After sending all the adults home, Chu Ci was also ready to leave, but unexpectedly he was stopped.
The person who stopped him was the chief manager of the Chen family. He said to Chu Ci: "Chu Siye, be at ease. My master has something to discuss with you. I wonder if Chu Siye can go and talk to you."
Chu Ci smiled and said, "Since Chen Huishou has something to discuss with Chu, how could I refute his face? Please let General Chen lead the way."
"Please follow me." Manager Chen took Chu Ci around the restaurant, and finally came to a very hidden room.
The room didn't look very bright, and there was still a scent inside. Chen Haiping sat behind the table, and the rising blue smoke made his face look a little dim.
"Chen Huishou, why did you invite Chu to come?"
"Chu Siye, please sit down first. Chen An, take the door with you when you go out, don't let someone come over to disturb my chat with Chu Siye."
"yes."
After he left, Chen Haiping smiled and said, "Chu Siye, I ask you to stay today. There is something unknown. I want to ask Chu Siye to solve my doubts."
"Chen Huishou, but it's okay. If you hadn't organized a chamber of commerce to allow Chu to successfully raise funds to build a garden, I'm afraid Chu would still be in trouble now." Through this period of time, Chu Ci discovered that Chen Haiping was a scheming person, but
But he still has a little bit of righteousness in his heart. It is probably this reason that the court can tolerate him.
"Then I said it straight. There are more than 3,000 acres of land in total. The land I and others jointly built together are about 2,000 acres. I don't know that Chu Siyezhuo has the remaining land.
What are your plans?"
Chu Ci looked at his twinkle eyes and couldn't help but secretly admire him. He was indeed the leader of the Chamber of Commerce and the richest man in the capital. His vision was longer than others.
"Chen Huishou's thoughts are indeed delicate, and this land is indeed useful to him. However, this Confucius worship ceremony is close to you, so it is not easy to create these twenty-two scenes. I really don't have the energy to do it anymore.
There are other ones." Chu Ci smiled with a deep meaning.
"Chu Siye and Chen are not such a short-sighted person. Although the garden has been driven out, it is still rough in terms of layout and other aspects. It needs to be modified one or two more in the future to make the garden perfect.
Chen is not talented, and only this yellow and white thing is with him. If Chu Siye does not dislike him, Chen can pay for the restoration of the cultural park later."
Seeing that Chu Ci was insincere, Chen Haiping knew that he could not bear to leave his child and could not trap the wolf, so he promised that he would do the aftermath.
"Haha, Chen Huishou's righteousness really made Chu admire him. To be honest, Chu was planning to use that piece of land to build a large amusement park. In addition to this, there are other inns and restaurants.
The cultural park is for viewing only, which obviously cannot meet the needs of the people, so there are other places here to attract the attention of the people. Chu is still thinking about the specific plan."
Just enjoying it will be tired of seeing it one day. Since this project was facilitated by Chu Ci, its subsequent development is naturally something Chu Ci needs to consider. What he wants is not a flash in the pan, what he wants,
This is to make this Nanjiao Cultural Park a landmark building in the capital, and people have to think of it when they mention the capital. In this way, the purpose of cultural dissemination can be achieved!
Chu Ci dares to assert that in the next five years, there will be no larger projects than this cultural park. There are many reasons, and the most important one is that there will be no larger land near the capital than this land.
.
After hearing Chu Ci's words, Chen Haiping felt a sense of pride. He knew that Chu Ci would have to keep such a large piece of land without planning. It seemed that this person's ambition was no less than him.
"Chu Siye, do you think Chen is qualified to participate in it?"
Chu Ci pretended to be stunned: "This... Chu is only responsible for making suggestions, and the specific matters need to be decided by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue."
Chen Haiping smiled slightly: "The wise man doesn't say secret words. If the Ministry of Revenue can pay the money, I'm afraid you won't beg for alms from us."
"But now is different from the past. Once the cultural park is opened, the land prices near the southern suburbs will rise. At that time, with various taxes and tickets to some scenic spots, I believe that the treasury will soon be more abundant than before. And after
I believe that those adults from the Ministry of Revenue will change their mindset and actively raise funds for construction." Chu Ci said that if you want to obtain the contracting rights, Chen Haiping's current bargaining chips are not enough. As long as the southern suburbs develop, there will be no more
In two years, these businessmen can make a profit.
Chen Haiping was stunned. He really didn't consider this. Looking at Chu Siye who was smiling lightly in front of him, he felt a little frustrated. The person in front of him did not look like a young man! He was clearly one.
Chapter completed!
