I am engaged in construction in Datang

Xiaoqiu had only been practicing martial arts for a short time. Although he had considerable strength, he was always unable to grasp the key points in time.

The two of them exchanged words. The civil official was a little reserved, but the military general was very excited and kept waving flags and shouting.

It was almost noon, the sun was high in the sky, and white clouds were floating.

The two of them had exchanged more than a hundred moves in the training ground. Pei Xingjian knew he was in the wrong, so he always used a little less force, but this also made Xiaoqiu angry.

"Pei Xingjian, show us your true abilities!"

Li Xiaoqiu looked at him coldly and said, "Just have a duel, it's like offering a move, who are you looking down on?"

The spear in his hand stabbed at the opponent mercilessly.

'Clang——! '

There was a sharp gunshot, and the two men retreated and separated at the same time.

"Miss Xiaoqiu, I'm sorry for the offense." Pei Xingjian begged for mercy, but immediately stopped retreating and attacked Li Xiaoqiu with his gun.

"Come on!" Li Xiaoqiu shouted, also moving forward without fear.

But Pei Xingjian just made a feint and had no intention of confronting her head-on. He changed his steps several times and easily bypassed her.

Li Xiaoqiu moved forward by inertia, with his back exposed to Pei Xingjian's eyes.

"excuse me!"

Just as he heard the voice behind him, Li Xiaoqiu's eyes blurred and he fell to the ground.

She reacted quickly and was about to stand up and continue, but a spear was pressed against her neck.

"you lose."

Pei Xingjian's eyes were calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "Miss Xiaoqiu, you do lack some practical experience."

He has been practicing martial arts since he was young and has been in the army for two or three years. He is not someone a novice like Xiaoqiu can defeat.

Li Xiaoqiu gritted her teeth and stared at Pei Xingjian with her phoenix eyes, full of hatred.

"I lost this time, but we'll fight again next year!"

Pei Xingjian lowered his eyes. He thought that Li Xiaoqiu would be even more difficult to deal with next year.

The opponent's strange strength alone was not easy to deal with. He concealed his slightly trembling right hand and said, "I'll wait."

Even if he wins next year, he will leave.

It's a lively day today and we're all family, so we don't care about all those trivial things.

The kitchen chef prepared different dishes according to everyone's taste, and then placed them all on the long table for everyone to help themselves.

Everyone brought their own small plate and used tongs to pick up what they wanted to eat.

"This is called self-service." Li Yin scooped up a few boiled shrimps with tongs, and also picked up a few for Empress Changsun and Li Shimin beside her.

Putting the clips into the pot of boiled shrimp, she continued: "When you want to eat a lot of different kinds of food but are afraid that you won't be able to finish a plate, you can adopt this sharing mode."

"This is a novel way of eating." Empress Chang Sun picked up a piece of boiled chicken with chopsticks and put it on the plate, and also picked up some cold noodles and pickled garlic cloves.

“The degree of freedom is high and the food is comfortable.”

After they chose their dishes, they returned to the dining table. Li Yin also picked out a plate of fruit to freshen their appetite.

"Sister, can we open a restaurant if we eat this way?" Li Shimin picked up a piece of cake the size of a copper coin and stuffed it into his mouth.

The food in the village is exquisite, with all kinds of small buns, steamed buns and cakes.

"can."

Li Yin continued, "But most of them are self-service hot pot and barbecue. The restaurant is not as considerate as the one in the village, and the temperature of the food cannot be guaranteed."

After a little thought, Li Shimin knew what Li Yin was talking about.

Hot pot and barbecue are better than simple buffet, as you can eat hot food.

"I'm sure that in a few days, this way of eating will spread out." Li Shimin shook his head and sighed.

Just like the roller skating hall and fishing hall in the past, the village has no time to worry about these things, nor does it prohibit others from making profits from them.

These restaurants are small in scale, so it would be too much trouble to assign a dedicated person to run them.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

As soon as they sat down, Li Yin's expression became serious, and Li Shimin also became nervous.

"Sister!" He picked up a piece of chicken gizzard and put it in his mouth: "Or you can finish eating first."

"Just listen to me, brother. It won't delay your meal."

This is not an important matter. Li Yin said, "After tonight, I'm sure there will be many people imitating Chenxi Entertainment, and there will be more cultural performances."

"But we can't just let everyone do whatever they want with the content of the performance. There has to be a set of standards."

"For example, it is not allowed to have thoughts that endanger national security, and it is not allowed to spread immoral content, etc."

This sounds simple, but it is very complicated in practice.

First, we need to define the problem: what kind of content can be disseminated? Then, we need to control the problem: how can we ensure that every company or troupe disseminates positive content?

There are also punishment standards. If a bad impact is caused, how should the crime be convicted?

Li Shimin felt a headache when he heard this: "Sister, let's put these aside for now and discuss them later when the entertainment industry has developed a bit."

"Besides, we have newspapers, so we can control the direction of public opinion."

What's more, there is really no one available now.

Yu Yan went to Hebei Province to promote compulsory education and took with him nearly one-third of the officials from the Ministry of Rites, most of whom were newcomers with good physical fitness and high energy.

The 360 ​​people selected in the imperial examination this year had not even had two days' rest before they were divided up by various tribes.

According to what my sister said, a department should be set up to manage the entertainment industry...

"Then let's set up a Ministry of Culture first..." Li Yin stopped talking in time when she saw Li Shimin's pale face.

The court structure has changed several times in the past two years. The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Works have all been split into other departments, leaving only the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel still standing.

According to the current development progress, the Ministry of War also needs to be split up.

With the emergence of firearms, the army and the police must be separated and cannot continue to use the same weapons.

There is also the Ministry of Personnel, whose functions always seem to overlap with those of the Ministry of Rites...

Li Yin was absentmindedly gnawing on the braised chicken feet. She had only proposed the general direction, while Li Shimin was the one directly involved and he must have been busy as a dog.

"Brother, the dissemination of content must be controlled in a timely manner. This cannot wait."

The papermaking technology has spread, and the price of paper is now plummeting. In one or two years, when printing presses become popular, it will be just around the corner for everyone to publish newspapers.

She continued, "Why not set up a supervisory body first to keep an eye on those involved in the entertainment industry, and we can work on the rest later."

Li Yin paused and continued, "I think Minister Tang can take over this matter."

There is no doubt about Tang Jian's ability, but he lost his pursuit after experiencing many ups and downs. Since he failed to sell sheep, he has been relying on his wife for support.

But Li Yin was reluctant to let him sit idle, as the court was short of manpower.

Old Tang has been obsessed with drama and dance music in recent years, and his research on them is no less than that of the masters in Pingkangfang. He can find loopholes in the songs and dramas that are about to be spread with just one glance.

It would be a good idea to ask Tang Jian to supervise the entertainment company.

Li Shimin was speechless for a while.

Can a lazy person like Tang Jian do this job well?

"Brother, you dare to employ Madam Lian Yuanting Ran, so why not give Tang Jian a try?"

Old Tang was a person she had been eyeing for a long time. After observing him for so long, she still had some confidence that he could "come back to the arena".
