Prince of Chaos

Chapter 175 Wanli Street Opens!
During the intense and orderly construction of the Xishan construction team on the Jingxi Expressway to and from the capital, it only took more than ten days to widen the road surface by more than double.

It can be seen that the proficiency of the Xishan construction team has risen by more than one level. As long as the output of Zhu Changluo Xishan Cement Plant can keep up, they can start building a longer and farther highway almost at any time.

Anyone who walks on this wide concrete road can't help but be amazed.

This is Xishan speed, Xishan quality!

All the people invited to the opening ceremony of Xishan Wanli Street set off from the capital early, and then headed towards Xishan Huangzhuang in their own luxurious carriages.

Along the way, they rushed to feel the speed brought by the flat concrete road. The only fly in the ointment was that the carriage ran too fast, and the shock absorption effect of the vehicle was mediocre, so it was quite a pain to travel all the way.

However, compared to the original travel speed, this pain has been reduced by more than three to five times, so everyone can still accept it.

Wanli Street in Xishan is now hung with red lanterns.Cheerful drums and lively firecrackers continued to come.

There was a din of human voices in the middle, and the whole scene was very lively.

Standing in front of Wanli Street, Zhu Changluo was wearing a brand new uniform, with a few rings around his waist that he didn't show off much.

All the noble children and high-ranking officials who came to Wanli Street clasped their fists and saluted Zhu Changluo with smiles on their faces, and did not kneel down. This was Zhu Changluo's request.Everyone happily stood aside and waited for the auspicious time to arrive.

After about half an hour, Wang An quietly went to Zhu Changluo and whispered: "Your Highness, almost everyone is here."

Zhu Changluo nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then get ready to start."

Then, Wang An, who was the general manager of Xishan Huangzhuang, walked to the rostrum that had been built aside.

Holding a copper trumpet in his hand, Wang An shouted loudly to the guests present and the Xishan people and workers who were watching the excitement: "Silence, silence, His Royal Highness, please give us a speech."

For a while, the noisy voice gradually stopped.Zhu Changluo walked to the rostrum from the step ladder beside him.

Zhu Changluo had just stood in the middle, and everyone on stage and off stage respectfully bowed to Zhu Changluo.

"The ministers and others (grassmen) see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Zhu Changluo took over the loudspeaker from Wang An, and Zhu Changluo said enthusiastically, "Get up, today is a great day, don't have so many rules, don't kneel down, just be casual. "

Everyone replied: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

Then, everyone who had a seat took their seats, and those who did not continue to stand aside and look at Zhu Changluo on the rostrum.

Zhu Changluo glanced at everyone, and then said: "Is it hard to ride in a carriage when everyone comes over?"

Everyone in the audience immediately replied: "No hard work, no hard work."

Hearing everyone's answer, Zhu Changluo laughed: "The family who said it was not hard must have a lot of money, and there are a lot of cushions in the carriage, right?"

Everyone also laughed, isn't this nonsense?If you sit on the carriage without some soft cushions, just by the vibration of bouncing back and forth, you can fry people like fried beans.

After Zhu Changluo heard everyone's smiles, he continued: "Actually speaking of this, I just want to talk about my current feelings. I am no longer troubled by this feeling of bumps and vibrations when I travel to and from the West Mountain of the capital."

After Zhu Changluo said this, everyone showed a thoughtful look, how is this possible?
Even the royal carriage, no matter how luxurious it is.In fact, it is not much different from the carriages of these noble and high-ranking officials, except that the color and pattern are slightly different.Maybe it's not as soft as their carriage.

Therefore, when Zhu Changluo said that his carriage was not bumpy, everyone actually didn't believe it. They only thought that Zhu Changluo was just saying something on the scene.

Zhu Changluo also understood their feelings, so he didn't point it out.

Zhu Changluo continued: "Our new street is about to open. However, there are only the people of Xishan Huangzhuang, the business travelers coming and going, and your leisure time. I think this is not popular enough!"

"So, how about I think of a way to get rich families and idle ladies from central Beijing to visit our new street?"

As soon as Zhu Changluo said this, the people present laughed again.

This idea is of course a good idea, but the back and forth bumps are not something those pampered ladies can bear.

This way, although the time is not too much, the bumps are still a bit uncomfortable.Therefore, it is still a bit difficult for those ladies who are pampered and have money and leisure to visit Xishan New Street.

Zhu Changluo also heard everyone's smiles, but of course he still didn't point it out.After all, the people here are rich and don't care, but it doesn't mean they are fools.

Zhu Changluo continued: "Wait a minute, I will arrange a new-style carriage to take you around our new street, so that everyone can take a closer look at our new street that is about to open. ? Let’s see if this new street can attract wealthy idlers from central Beijing to shop.”

Hearing this, everyone in the audience became emotional.

It is finally time to see this long-awaited new street.

From Zhu Changluo's investment promotion to decoration, no one from any family was allowed to go in and take a look at this street. It was all the people from the Xishan Huangzhuang who were decorating and taking care of it.

And the guys they sent to manage the new store were all managed by Xishan Huangzhuang, which was called "training".Therefore, until now, everyone has not received any news about the interior of Xinjie.

I just vaguely know that this new street is like a crystal palace, and I don't know anything else.

Now, when Zhu Changluo said that he would send a carriage to take them to Xishan New Street, everyone's emotions suddenly rose.

Zhu Changluo also smiled happily as he watched the lively scene again.

Zhu Changluo said: "Now the auspicious time is approaching, and I don't want to keep it to myself. Next, we will enter the ribbon-cutting and unveiling process."

Zhu Changluo gave Wang An the loudspeaker in his hand. Wang An stood aside and looked at the audience. He held a list in his hand, and then began to read: "I invite Zhang Weixian, the son of the British Duke, to come on stage and cut the ribbon."

When Zhang Weixian heard that Wang An was the first to call his name, he stood up with unbearable excitement, and walked to the rostrum, letting everyone in the audience appreciate the demeanor of the first nobleman of the British government. .

Zhu Changluo watched Zhang Weixian come up, Zhu Changluo grinned at Zhang Weixian.Zhang Weixian clasped his fists and bowed to Zhu Changluo, then walked to the place where his name was written in advance and stood there.

Then Wang An began to read the first name: "I invite Duke Ding's son Xu Xigao to come on stage and cut the ribbon."

When Xu Xigao heard Wang An call his name, he bared his teeth in joy, and then imitated Zhang Weixian's steps on the stage just now, and saluted Zhu Changluo.

Then Wang An signed up one by one, and the last ones who were able to take the stage were the sons of the princes of the state, the sons of the hometown of Ge, and Liu Quan, the newest manager of Wanli Street appointed by Zhu Changluo.

Everyone stood in a row, with Zhu Changluo in the middle, Zhang Weixian and Shen Yongmao, the eldest son of Shen Shixing, standing on the left and right, and the rest of the people were arranged in order of status.

Such a trendy ribbon-cutting ceremony was added by Zhu Changluo.As for allusions and etiquette, Dong Qichang and Wang An are naturally responsible for solving them.

In the end, it turned out that Dong Qichang was the most powerful. Dong Qichang found a record of ribbon-cutting in the Southern Dynasties in the pile of old papers. Zong Mo, a writer in the Southern Dynasties, once wrote such a passage in "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji": "On the day of the beginning of spring, everyone cuts the ribbon for Yan. , wear it."

This sentence became the basis for Zhu Changluo's ribbon-cutting ceremony.Although the form is different from that of the Southern Dynasties, the implication is absolutely pleasing.

After all, Zhu Changluo would be sorry for Zhu Changluo's status as a time traveler if he didn't cut the ribbon for such a big event.

Therefore, this unique ribbon-cutting ceremony appeared in the Ming Dynasty. The people who were invited saw a row of beautiful Xishan female workers coming up with a disc, and a big red flower was placed inside the disc.

Everyone was very curious, and they were all looking at the string of big red flowers.

Zhang Weixian asked next to Zhu Changluo: "His Royal Highness, are these big red flowers just for ribbon-cutting?"

Zhu Changluo said: "Yes, this is what Ben Gong said about cutting the ribbon. Later, we will listen to Wang An's order together, and then just cut this big red flower and drop it on the plate."

Zhang Weixian understood it as soon as he heard it. It was his first time cutting the ribbon. After hearing what Zhu Changluo said, he couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.

In fact, Zhu Changluo was also cutting the ribbon for the first time, and he had seen leaders cut the ribbon before.I only have a general understanding of the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Now that I have the power in my hands, and can make such a big deal happen, I would be sorry for my excitement if I didn't cut the ribbon.

Wang An looked at the time on the hourglass, and after everyone stood still, Wang An announced loudly from the side.

"The ribbon-cutting ceremony begins now!"

boom! boom! boom!
A few deafening bangs of sky-swapping monkeys exploded in the air, and the joyous atmosphere reached a climax at this moment.

Zhu Changluo smiled at the people on the left and right.

Then, he picked up the small scissors in the tray and started to cut the ribbon for the first time. When Zhu Changluo cut halfway, the other people on the side also started to move.

Soon a string of big red flowers was ribbon-cut out.

The people watching the ceremony in the audience also gave a round of applause.

At this time, Wang An stood up again and said, "I invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to unveil the plaque for Xishan New Street."

The moment has finally come.Everyone is already eager to see the name of Xishan New Street.

Well-informed people have known the name that will be unveiled early, but most people still don't know it.

Therefore, everyone is still looking forward to this moment.They want to see right away what the name is going to be?
Zhu Changluo walked under the signboard covered with red cloth alone. In front of his hand was a red drawstring hanging from the top. With a light pull, the name on the signboard would be displayed in front of the world.

After Zhu Changluo arrived here, he stood in his place first, and then bowed to the signboard.Everyone looked at the action and couldn't understand its meaning, and didn't understand why Zhu Changluo wanted to bow first.

When Zhu Changluo grabbed the red rope and pulled it down, the red cloth on the signboard fluttered away.

On Wanli Street, when the three gilt characters were displayed in front of everyone, they instantly understood why Zhu Changluo had bowed to the signboard just now.

It turns out that the name of this street is actually the year name of the current emperor!

"His Royal Highness, benevolent and filial!"

After Zhu Changluo opened the signboard, he stood on the spot and said loudly: "I announce that Wanli Street is officially open!"

Then there was another burst of excitement with firecrackers.

Everyone couldn't help cheering at this moment.

Zhu Changluo gestured to Wang An, and Wang An said to the staff on the stage: "Prepare the carriage."

I saw that a carriage pulled by two horses appeared on the stage!
This carriage has subverted everyone's perception of carriages. It actually has two carriages and eight wheels!Moreover, on both sides of the carriage, except for the wooden seat from the seat to the backrest, the rest of the carriage is either empty or inlaid with transparent glass.

The appearance of the entire carriage looks so powerful that people can't take their eyes away after just one glance.

"What carriage is this?"

"This carriage is so long!"

"Are the windows on this carriage colored glass?"

There was a lot of discussion.

When Zhu Changluo arrived in front of the carriage, he pushed the door and sat in the middle of the first carriage, and then said to Zhang Weixian, Shen Yongmao and the others: "Everyone, come up and try."

Everyone was obedient, and immediately came over and got into the carriage.The sitting time is also very technical, and each of them finds his own seat.

Zhu Changluo said to the staff driving the car, "Let's go."

When the carriage moved, everyone's bodies shook slightly, but what happened next left everyone stunned.

The carriage didn't feel any hard bumps.

how did you do that?
Zhu Changluo looked at the expressions of everyone, and he smiled and said, "How about this carriage?"

Zhang Weixian, who was sitting behind Zhu Changluo, heard Zhu Changluo's words, and immediately replied: "This carriage is very good. I don't know this carriage."

Zhu Changluo immediately interrupted: "Let's not talk about the car now, let's look at Wanli Street first."

The first phase of Wanli Street has a length of about 150 meters, but the length of 150 meters is not a straight line. There are several turning points in the middle. After each turning, the scene you see is new. Scenes.

When everyone looked at this novel Wanli Street, they all showed amazed expressions.

They found that this street is different from the streets they usually see. Every store has a big glass window, and inside the window are the treasures or household items of the store.

Everyone was amazed when they looked at it. They had never seen such a street, with transparent glass windows and a whole flat mirror, small and exquisite booths, and elegant parasols. Some shops were surrounded by There is a wooden fence less than three feet high, and green vines and unknown succulents and small flowers are planted inside the fence.

All of this looks extraordinarily dreamy and friendly to the eyes, and one can't help but want to stop the carriage immediately and walk on the street to feel the style and difference of each store.

"There are still such fantastic small streets in the world."

Xu Xigao muttered to himself, suddenly he saw a store with a Xu character signboard, and he immediately shouted: "Look, that is the jewelry store opened by my family."

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it, and they saw that the transparent glass of Xu's store had assembled a whole wall, and the jewelry display inside was dazzling, making people dizzying.

They also saw that the guys inside were all wearing uniforms, standing friendly at the door or behind the counter inside, warmly receiving every customer who walked into the store.

This time, it directly ignited everyone's passion.They began to stretch their heads one by one to see where their shops were?

Seeing their expressions and actions, Zhu Changluo was extremely satisfied.This is what he wanted.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have covered it so tightly, so tightly.

"How do you guys look at our Wanli Street?"

When the carriage stopped, Zhu Changluo turned and asked the honorable disciples behind him.

Xu Xigao said first: "The street of His Royal Highness is like a fairy street in a dream, and I admire it."

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "It's nothing, you can come and see it at night, it's beautiful."

When everyone heard Zhu Changluo's words, they couldn't help but look forward to it. They really wanted to see what this Wanli Street looked like at night.
