Chapter Ninety-Eight: Under the Stage

Outside the Chengde Acropolis, there are also similar to the big cities of the Central Plains, several color sheds, one of them now, on the stage, the female singer is squeaking and singing.

At night, the lanterns are bright.

In the audience, the soldiers and civilians applauded from time to time.

Speaking of which, in the suburbs of Chengde Weijia, the captured slave households were added to the Yan Department, and the families of the Beining army gradually migrated in, and they slowly formed a big city with a population of more than 100,000.

Of course, as an important front-line town, and living in either slave or military households, it is difficult to say that the formation of a real entertainment industry.

But in the past two days, it was a troupe from Bianjing.

said that it was a drama troupe, but it was actually attached to a green building in the capital, and most of the female singers in it were red cards for the green building.

Last year, the Son of Heaven invaded the north, in Bianjing, under the General Institute of Commerce and Taxation, which specializes in the management of Qinglou, opera troupes and other lines, organized the Beijing Oiran Competition, each Qinglou famous trick, each performing their talents, during which whether it is a dignitary or a peddler pawn, can be rewarded, and finally the most bounty is the Oiran.

During the Oiran Competition, all the bounties received by the Qinglou were owned by the Qinglou, and ninety percent were paid to the public as military expenses to support the Northern Expedition.

Qinglou and other industries, although the dynasty is heavy on taxes, but under the orderly management, it is also flourishing.

There is an official lead in organizing this kind of opportunity for the top brands of the Qinglou to show their beauty and talent, and it has become a sensational event in the capital, the peddler's pawn talks after dinner, many peddlers and pawns, although they have never had the opportunity to see these Qinglou red cards before, but now, they are also willing to support one or two, express their admiration, the giant rich businessman, not to mention, spend a lot of money, but also for their favorite tricksters to win the ranking, during the period, it involves their face, and even, there are rich businessmen, as a sign of loyalty to donate military funds, at the same time, You can also open your eyes for your own favorites, and count them in one fell swoop.

Therefore, even if ninety percent is taken away by the official, the owners of the green buildings are also eager for this event.

After all, the officially organized event has greatly increased its authority, that is, the small Qinglou, which may also become popular because of its excellent talent, and the big Qinglou hopes to take this opportunity to earn an authoritative certification for the red card in the Qinglou.

After the Oiran Contest in Bianjing, first in Nanjing, Yangzhou, and then in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, many places have organized Oiran competitions one after another.

Moreover, the capital city has officially set the Oiran Contest as an annual model, and ninety percent of the bounty will be returned to the public.

In this regard, Lu Ning is happy to see it.

In later generations, many people despised film and television actors and even sports stars, believing that they could not create value and were ninth-rate actors.

In fact, whether it is an actor or a sports star, it plays a huge role in the stability of society.

After satisfying food and clothing, many people need spiritual sustenance and pursuit, and cultural and sports practitioners can give emotional satisfaction to this part of the population.

The more middle and lower classes are confused about the future, the more they need this illusory spiritual sustenance.

This is the reason why the film industry is booming in the Great Depression in the United States.

Nowadays, some people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and they also need this kind of spiritual pursuit.

As far as the capital is concerned, it is a pawn of a peddler, and he has no worries about food and clothing, and he needs some kind of catharsis in addition to being bitter.

The selection of Oiran in Beijing and even in various places is actually an artificial creation of stars, and even peddlers and pawns, during the event, you can also see these performers for free, and after tea and dinner, there are countless things to talk about.

As far as the state finances are concerned, for the wealthy businessmen, it is also the third way to adjust the distribution of wealth after taxes, not to forcibly levy military expenditures, so that they are willing to take them out.

Lu Ning is not worried about what popular customs will lose the martial spirit, what will "directly treat Hangzhou as Bianzhou" and so on.

All walks of life have different roles in society.

I like to watch cabaret performances, I like to watch beautiful women, and there is no contradiction at all with the alien invasion and sword killing, the main thing is to see what is instilled in the minds of the people.

The fall of the Central Plains has never been a lack of martial spirit, usually the ruling class that leads the entire nation to go astray collectively, as an agrarian nation, you can't ask the alien invasion of every village to pick up farm tools to fight against the alien ironclad military horses, there are many people, drown each other with a mouthful of saliva and so on. If the common people do not do this, they will throw the blame for the failure of their rule on to the common people. In particular, under your rule, the common people are already in dire straits, and if the local squires, who are the ruling collective, take the lead in surrendering, it is impossible for the common people who are usually dependent on the squires to rebel spontaneously.

The annexation of the land of this dynasty to the red line of 1,000 acres, the corresponding system of redemption of public land, etc., greatly reduced the influence of the gentry, and the tenant farmers rented more public land, so that it was relatively easy for them to have the concept of a state, and it was easier to resonate with the mobilization to resist foreign enemies and protect their homeland.

Lu Ning has also heard the different ideas and propositions of his important ministers.

If there are important ministers, it will be easier for the poor people to rule, and they will be braver when recruiting for battle.

He also used the Qin and Qi wars as an example, saying that the Qin State was brave and good at fighting because of the poverty of the Qin soldiers, and the Qi soldiers were rich in their families, so they were more willing to die.

But in fact, this kind of **** is difficult to maintain for a long time, especially when the world is unified, it is difficult to motivate the nobles and soldiers by plundering the wealth of neighboring countries, and when the time comes, it will collapse in minutes.

Moreover, for a unified country, there will definitely be an imbalance in development, there will be rich land, there will be poor land, and the people's customs are different, when they are indeed recruited as soldiers, there will be a certain emphasis, but deliberately exploiting the people to make the people poor, that is crazy.

And speaking of which, the real elite is mostly composed of the children of the aristocracy and the soldiers recruited by wealthy families, who have been well nourished and healthy since childhood, and have a certain mind, with high understanding and strong action under training, and under the education in the army, they can quickly rise up the resonance of protecting the family and defending the country.

Poor families, who enlist in the army for food, have a lot of mixed lives.

Of course, these cannot be generalized, especially for the Qi army, whether it is from the education in the army, to the promotion system, to the military academy system to various incentive systems, to the forbidden army recruitment and retirement system, as a reserve of state soldiers and military household system, grassroots township corps training three-tier system reform, all have a significant difference with the past dynastic army, can no longer be measured by the military system of the feudal dynasty.

Now, sitting on the squeaky maiden facing the color shed, Lu Ning kneels on the left side of Yelu Nanxian, and on the right side kneels Yelu and Classical, serving Lu Ning's tea. On both sides of the couch stood Jerod Guanyin and Jerusa Thorn.

The chariot is similar to the sedan chair without a canopy, and now this royal chariot is under the color canopy, and the curtain falls all around, and the front layer of light yarn makes the people in the chariot can see all kinds of performers on the stage.

Dozens of steps away from the circumference, there was another female guard standing with a felt cloth, which made the Son of Heaven form a semicircular enclosed space around the chariot.

Although the Son of Heaven rejoiced with the people, he could not really walk around, and there was a noisy crowd.

……

Lu Ning's mind was not on the stage.

From time to time, I looked at the four Khitan beauties who collapsed on the couch.

Especially the most beautiful Yelu Nanxian, glancing at her thrush-like eyes, delicate facial features, the delicate figure under the purple and red Khitan maid's robe, and the delicate white jade that appeared when kneeling and sitting like seductive snow feet.

Thinking of the hot night a few days ago, the taste of galloping on her, the shyness of her from a virgin to a woman, Lu Ning's heart was hot again.

In the past few days, Lu Ning has been singing every night.

On the night when the slaves from Yuzhou returned to Chengdewei, Lu Ning ordered Yelu Nanxian, Yelu Shuge, and Xiao Yueliduo to accompany them.

The three of them are all unmarried girls, and when they are cowardly and broken, they are each wonderful in their own way.

The day before yesterday and yesterday, there were four or five Khitan beauties and beautiful girls in the military art team sent by Youzhou after training, and they were also favored by Lu Ning, but Lu Ning didn't remember the names of these people.

It's just that he is labeled as a great emperor, unless Lu Ning points out marriage or makes a special explanation, otherwise he will be lonely for life.

Although Lu Ning didn't remember their names, Wanyan Ula would naturally write them down and report to the Inner Mansion, and if there was no female official in the Inner Mansion to record these, it would become Wanyan Ula's errand.

Now, Lu Ning's heart is still hot, as if he has been enjoying for days, but he can't take it back.

Maybe it's because when he arrived outside the Saiwai and during the war, Lu Ning felt that there were a lot less ideological constraints and he completely let go of himself, and these captured Khitan beauties were really like trophies, and there were no rules and regulations in the conquest, and there was a faint sense of pleasure in conquering and plundering foreign lands.

Today, Lu Ning is going to make the three princesses and sisters of Yelu and the four of Yelu Nanxian sleep at night.

When Yelu Nanxian, Yelu Shuge, and Xiao Yueliduo were broken, Lu Ning didn't toss Yelu Nanxian too much, and there are other three daughters today, so it's okay to come to Yelu Nanxian.

Especially looking at her charming temptation like a ripe peach, as if she was moisturized and became more and more amorous, Lu Ning's heart was even hotter.

The three sisters of Princess Yelu are the three biological daughters of Liao Shizong, and when they serve themselves, they must have a special taste.

Lu Ning glanced at the little bean sprouts Jerusa thorn again, speaking of which, she was just eleven years old, and unlike the big and small peaches of the same age, Jerusa thorn was really a little bean sprout, and it had not developed at all.

If it was in Sene, Lu Ning wouldn't be able to do anything, but now, there was a surging evil evil in his heart, and tonight, he wanted to taste the taste of this little bean sprout.

Jeruza seemed to realize something, and the little one looked down at the little toes, and did not dare to speak.

"Grandpa, this grape is very sweet ......" On the side, Yelu and Classical Qianqian's jade fingers sandwiched a purple grape and sent it to Lu Ning's lips, Lu Ning smiled slightly and opened his mouth, and gently pouted her jade finger when Yelu and Classical sent the grape into his mouth.

Yelu and Classical Qiao blushed and slowly retracted their hands.

In the past two days, seeing the Nanren Emperor's actions, the amazing physical strength of the night royal women to sleep peacefully, including Yelu and Classical, these Khitan clan women know that being invaded by the Nanren Emperor is no longer avoidable, since there is no way to retreat, they can only be at peace with the encounter, and even, strive to be loved by the Nanren Emperor, so, for their captured relatives, there may still be a glimmer of opportunity.

What's more, if you put aside the hatred of the country and the family, this southerner emperor, it is difficult to have a second man like this perfect man in the world, at the age of twenty-four or five, he started with cloth clothes, played a big country, and dominated the world in the Central Plains, and the heroes are invincible and brave, but in private, he has an excellent personality, treats people gently, and can tell love stories and jokes.

Where do you go to find such men?

Moreover, it is the third princess Yelu, speaking of which, she does not have any deep hatred with the emperor of the southerners, her parents died early, and they were both killed in the rebellion, and I don't know if that rebellion has anything to do with the sleeping king Yelu Jing and his younger brother, the current Liao lord Yelu Gong Sage.

But in the past ten years, the three daughters can only survive in the cracks and be cautious.

After Yelu Gang Sage succeeded to the throne, he was crowned with the title of Princess Yelu and Classical and Yelu Guanyin, but it may not be a good intention, especially the younger brother of Yelu and Classical, the elder brother of Yelu Guanyin and Yelu Sage, Yelu Xian, as the eldest son of Emperor Sejong, where will he not be jealous of the Yelu Gang Sage brothers of Taizong's lineage?

Yelujing has no heirs, and once adopted Yeluxian in the palace, but did he establish Yeluxian as the prince, which made Yeluxian even more jealous of Yeluxian after he ascended the throne.

Originally, it was okay, but the Youzhou army was defeated, and many tribal kings were dissatisfied with Yelu Gong Sage, if they wanted to support a new king, there is no doubt that the third princess's brother (younger brother) Yelu Xian would be one of the most popular candidates.

I'm afraid that the current Yeluxian has become a thorn in the eye of Yelugang Sage.

Therefore, the three daughters were not captured by this Qi Tianzi, and if they were in the north, the possible situation was also extremely dangerous.

Now, although it is the spoils of the Nanren Emperor, it seems that Yelu Guyu, Yelu Shuge and Xiao Yueliduo have all been named "Mrs.", and Yelu Jiuge has even been named "Baolin" into the harem.

The situation is very good.

Moreover, Yelu and the classics thought, to say, it may be better to be named Madame Hu by the Nanren Emperor, free and easy, and can do some things you want, if you are included in the harem, life will be noble, but it is also like a canary, and you have to grovel in front of the many concubines of the Nanren Emperor, maybe, there is also the danger of being involved in the inner palace battle.

Of course, if you really want your relatives to benefit, you will naturally be able to become the concubine of the Nanren Emperor, so you can rely on it.

The words of "Madame Hu" are nothing more than the lover of the Nanren Emperor, who was collectively arranged in a certain palace in another garden, before the old Zhuhuang, for the Nanren Emperor to play, but he has more freedom, and the Nanren Emperor can also see his magnanimity from this point, knowing what a helpless situation it means if the Hu people are under house arrest, so he gave the "Madame Hu" a life of their own.

In fact, when I saw all kinds of new things in the Southern Dynasty in a short period of time, I felt that from a certain point of view, the fun in the life of "Mrs. Hu" was not necessarily less than that of the Khitan Empress and the wives of the kings of the tribes.

Yelu Guyu, Yelu Shuge and Xiao Yueliduo all got up and went to Bianjing excitedly with expectations for their future lives.

Yelu and the classics also yearn for this kind of life, but when they came back, they thought that they would dedicate their bodies to the Nanren emperor tonight, and let him play with them, and the husband was still tortured in the bitter kiln, and he was ashamed and uncomfortable, but the terrible thing was that deep in his heart, there was a trace of restlessness, and every time the Nanren emperor had sex, she was not far away, listening to the joyful moans of women and girls of different races, she wanted to know what it was like.

It's just that every time this demonic thought comes out of her heart, she will be startled, ashamed, and dare not think about it anymore.

"Your Majesty, there is a report from the Dingjing Army."

Lu Ning, who was in the heart of the ape, frowned slightly, "Send it up." "The Dingyan Army is the party member, the predecessor of the Western Xia Kingdom.

However, the report sent by the female guard said that the Dangxiang people were expanding rapidly in Hexi, and the eight Tibetan departments in Hexi were not the opponents of the Dangxiang people at all.

Lu Ning frowned, sure enough, the most worrying thing came, when he and the Khitan people were stumbling, he didn't want to suddenly appear in the northwest of the Western Xia Kingdom.

When I was pondering, I suddenly found that my original interest in the four maidens of the night had completely disappeared.
