Cheng Biting Jin swore a gambling curse before Mrs. Cheng reluctantly believed him.

Mrs. Cheng wiped away the tears on her face, and couldn't help but say to Cheng Yanjin: "Husband, I think about it, let's take another concubine for you, don't go to that kind of place in the future." What if I come back sick? ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said: "It's better to be a lady, since Mrs. has said so, everything is up to Mrs. to decide!" ”

Boom!

Mrs. Cheng raised the stick in her hand, and another stick hit Cheng Biting Jin's leg.

"Okay, what about you biting gold, you really want to take a concubine, don't you? Hum! The old lady knows that this is the case? What's the matter, do you dislike the old lady Lao Zhuhuang? Looking for a younger one? ”

Cheng Yanjin rubbed his thighs and ran away.

As he ran, he explained: "Madame is wronged! The matter of taking a concubine, but it was all said by the lady, but I didn't mention it! ”

……

A few days later, the phonograph was launched.

And the phonograph has caused a sensation again.

It turns out that not only people and things can leave images, but also sounds?

It's so much fun!

Although the price of the gramophone is still expensive, it is still sought after by many people.

Of course, those who can afford it are naturally those rich second generations.

As for those middle-class families, they may be able to afford it, but few families are willing to buy this flashy gramophone.

In fact, Li Su knows very well that the business of gramophone can only be booming for a while.

There are only so many people who can afford to buy it.

After these people buy it, the sales will drop sharply.

And the real way to make money is not actually a gramophone, but a tape.

At this time, it is the stage for the Yizhou Grand Theater to play.

Yizhou Grand Theater, after so many years of development, has also become a business card industry in Yizhou.

But all the tourists who come to Yizhou, at least three adults, will go to Yizhou to enjoy the opera.

Therefore, there are not a few tourists who have been to Yizhou in the entire Tang Dynasty.

But Datang is so big, there must be a lot of people who haven't been there.

Some of the famous characters of the Yizhou Grand Theater are only known in the aristocratic circle.

It is certainly impossible for ordinary people to know their names.

But now, because of the advent of the phonograph.

Li Su asked Ouyang Ruoshui to lead the artists of the Yizhou Grand Theater to start recording tapes.

is like a song recorded by Ouyang Ruoshui, and her piano music is specially made into an album.

There are also commentators commenting on the legend of the White Lady and other commentaries, all of which are made into tapes.

Of course, all kinds of art forms such as cross talk, sketches, and allegro in the China Grand Theater have naturally been made into tapes.

Then there was not a single tape, and it was sold to the outside world at the price of 100 yuan a disk.

As soon as these tapes came out, they sold out like crazy.

Because there are so many people who buy tapes.

In the beginning, only those rich second generations who could afford to buy a phonograph were willing to buy it.

After all, other people who didn't buy a gramophone didn't have a place to play it if they bought a tape!

Soon, however, the industries of the Chung Hwa Commercial Bank began to use gramophones to play cassette tapes at the door.

For example, Ouyang Ruoshui's singing, various storytelling, as well as cross talk, sketches and allegro, and other tapes.

Just like that, it immediately attracted countless people to come and watch.

With so many people, even if only a few people come into the store to buy something, business will be much better.

After discovering this, the other shopkeepers immediately couldn't sit still.

This can't be done, you have to buy a gramophone!

There are also various styles of tapes, and you have to buy them all back and play them in a different way.

Sure enough, as a result, the business of their store also improved.

And, of course, by the end of the day, almost every store had a gramophone playing all sorts of tapes.

If you don't buy a gramophone and don't play tapes, you're embarrassed to open your business.

Well, of course, there will be a lot fewer customers.

So in the end, it can't attract customers.

Everyone has it, and it definitely doesn't work.

Only if there is none, the effect will be very poor.

In this process, only the Chinese Commercial Bank made a lot of money.

Now Datang has issued a copyright law, as long as piracy is found, it will be absolutely severely punished.

Because the enforcement is very strict, no one dares to take this limit.

There are also attempts to record programs on blank tape.

But for one, they don't have a very good program.

Now most of the good artists are in Yizhou Grand Theater.

The most important thing is that even if there is a good program, their recording level is really poor.

There is a murmur in it, don't say it.

After the recorded tape is played back a few times, there will be problems such as cassette tape and lost content.

Therefore, in the field of tapes, even the Chinese Commercial Banks are the only ones, and others cannot pose a threat to them at all.

Of course, in fact, it is very difficult for anyone to pose a threat to any business done by the Chinese Commercial Bank.

And other famous artists, if they want to release an album, they have to find a Chinese trading house and cooperate with them.

And the profit at that time is 19 percent.

They can only get 10 percent, and China Commercial Bank can get 90 percent.

Of course, because the sales are really horrible.

Even if it is 19 percent, the amount of money they can earn is an astronomical amount.

There was a master storyteller in Chang'an, who found the Chinese Commercial Bank and successfully cooperated with the Chinese Commercial Bank.

Then a commentary on the Three Kingdoms was published, and as a result, within a month, the tapes sold 100,000 plates.

Then he got a million dollars, that is, a thousand dollars.

And that's just a month's share!

Of course, in fact, it was the first month of sales that was the highest.

Now as long as there are new projects on the market, no one picks and chooses at all.

Basically, they buy when they see a new property.

Tapes are still a new thing, and they haven't had a star effect yet.

It is not bigger and stronger, and customers are not aware of picking and choosing now.

So the sales in the first month were the hottest, and then they got worse and worse.

But even the first month's share, a million dollars, scared the master!

You know, he hasn't made so much money for most of his life!

And now, he's just made so much money with just a tape!

When the others heard this kind of thing, they were all very red-eyed, and they all ran to the China Commercial Bank to cooperate.

As long as they can cooperate with the Chinese Commercial Bank, they will send it directly.

However, the review of China Commercial Bank is very strict.

If they didn't reach the level of a master, they would never have cooperated with tapes.

Now if you want to release an album, you have to cooperate with China Commercial Bank, and there is no other choice.

China Commercial Bank, the most important thing is all kinds of artists.

If the conditions are not good, the Chinese Commercial Bank will not cooperate with them at all.

As long as they are favored by China Commercial Bank, they can sign contracts with artists.

As long as the album is successful, it will soon become a millionaire.

Under the promotion of the China Commercial Bank, the first batch of artists in Datang was immediately created.

Moreover, the status of artists is no longer inferior, but has begun to gradually improve.

Because artists can really get rich overnight and make a lot of money!

Although the tax paid is a little ruthless, the tax is one out of ten.

But this money is like picking it up, and the tax is 10%, and it is not distressing to pay it at all.

And the king of Shu gave the emperor another twist, asking to improve the status of the artist.

Originally, the status of the actors was very low, one level lower than that of civilians.

Now the king of Shu wants to elevate their status, and they have encountered strong opposition from the ministers of the court.

Originally, the emperor's attitude towards the King of Shu was very subtle, and almost everyone thought that the emperor would not agree to the proposal of the King of Shu.

But what was unexpected was that the officials of the household department of the central government, as well as several Zaifu, actually supported the proposal of the king of Shu.

In the end, this proposal of the King of Shu was successfully passed.

This made many ministers stunned.

Actually, they didn't think about it at all.

The taxes brought by these artists are really high.

An artist's monthly tax is 100,000, even if there are only 10 artists per month, it is 1 million.

In a year, how much more than tens of millions of taxes?

Don't forget, which artists of the Yizhou Grand Theater and the China Commercial Bank are not divided into nineteen points, but fifty-five points.

Take Ouyang Ruoshui as an example, she has released the most albums, as many as five discs.

The total sales of her tapes have reached one million.

Well, the tax she paid by herself was five million.

In a year, the taxes of these artists have almost reached hundreds of millions.

These taxes basically exceed the agricultural taxes.

In this case, how can Li Shimin refuse?

The status of artists has been improved, and it has been written into the law of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been announced to the world.

All the artists in the world know that this matter was promoted by the King of Shu.

Therefore, they are all grateful to the King of Shu.

Countless artists even regard the King of Shu as their ancestor.

In fact, it is not only the improvement of the status of artists, but also the improvement of the treatment of artists, the expansion of art classification, and many other aspects, which can be said to be the credit of King Shu.

And because artists make money, it's too easy.

It also drove many people to pour into the entertainment industry.

Datang's entertainment industry has gradually taken shape.

Of course, in fact, the artists who make the most money are the artists in the big situation in Yizhou.

Like Ouyang Ruoshui, the current share has come to 50 million......

This year, she still has a new album to come out, and her annual income will be over 100 million.

How many billionaires can be found in the entire Datang?

Give her ten years, and it is estimated that she will be able to occupy a place on the rich list of Datang.

And Ouyang Ruoshui's reputation is now so good in the entire Tang Dynasty that it is also bursting.

Previously, her fame was limited to high-level status.

But now with the release of the album, almost the entire Tang Dynasty, all the people, know her name.

really did it, no one in the world knew you.

And Ouyang Ruoshui's fans are also increasing.

……

At this time, in the Yizhou Grand Theater, Li Su was drinking tea in Ouyang Ruoshui's room.

Li Su smiled slightly and said to Ouyang Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, you are now the first rich woman in Datang to work your own!" ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Ouyang Ruoshui pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you know that Ruoshui Zhi is not here. How much money is just a number for Ruoshui. ”

Li Su laughed and said, "But, don't you like everyone's respect and liking for you?" ”

"In the entire Tang Dynasty, there are countless people who like your songs and the sound of your piano, you must have a sense of accomplishment in your heart, right?"

Ouyang Ruoshui nodded thoughtfully, then pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Highness is right, this feeling is really good!" ”

Of course, if not, how can there be so many people in the future who want to be stars?

Li Su couldn't help but say to Ouyang Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, by the way, in the future, you have to work more your body." Put on more stage plays and do more good plays. ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Ouyang Ruoshui couldn't help but say faintly: "Your Highness, but now there are no more people who don't perform stage plays!" ”

"They all tasted the sweetness of releasing an album, and they all tried their best to release a new album."

"The album can only record the sound, not the action, so many artists have abandoned the action and dedicated to the language track!"

This is also true, it is too profitable to release an album.

As long as you can release an album, you will basically have no worries about eating and drinking in this life.

And what is the use of the actions of the stage play, no matter how well they are done?

And you can't make money.

How much money do you make from stage performances?

Acting for a lifetime is not as much money as releasing an album!

Li Su couldn't help sneering: "These people, did they float after making some money?" ”

Ouyang Ruoshui couldn't help pursing his lips and smiled: "This is also human nature?" However, there are still a small number of people who can keep to themselves and do their part well. ”

Li Su couldn't help but say to Ouyang Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, believe me, at most two years, you may not be able to use it, and the stage play can also be put on an album." ”

"And the album of pure sound will gradually decline! Which artists who keep to themselves, you bring them more. For those who have floated, let them drift away! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Ouyang Ruoshui couldn't help but say in surprise: "Your Highness, but how can a stage play be made into an album?" ”

Li Yu laughed and said, "Ruoshui, before the camera and gramophone come out, if someone tells you." Would you believe that there is something that can leave a person's face and voice? ”

Ouyang Ruoshui thought about it and couldn't help but shake his head.

Li continued: "Now, with cameras and gramophones, they can be combined to record moving, scene-by-scene stage plays. ”

Ouyang Ruoshui couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

Li Su continued: "When the time comes, not only your voice, but also your appearance will be able to be seen by tens of millions of people. ”

"When the time comes, you will be the first batch of stars in Datang! You're going to turn red and purple! ”

And Ouyang Ruoshui looked at Li Su, and couldn't help but say faintly: "But Your Highness, you obviously know that this is not what I want!" ”

Hearing Ouyang Ruoshui's words, Li Su couldn't help but sigh slightly.

For Ouyang Ruoshui, Li Su actually owes something.

If it weren't for himself, how could Ouyang Ruoshui come to Yizhou with his widowed mother and weak brother?

Ouyang Ruoshui's friendship with him, Li Su is not a wood and stone, how can he not detect it?

Li Su still felt that she was cold to her, and after a long time, she might meet her sweetheart and marry.

For example, the princesses of the fifteen countries, aren't they all married now?

But what she didn't expect was that Ouyang Ruoshui was so affectionate!

It's been ten years since I came to Yizhou.

Ouyang Ruoshui has never been married.

How many decades can a woman spend in her life?

This time he came to Ouyang Ruoshui, in fact, he also wanted to make a decision about this matter.

This matter is no longer allowed for him to drag on.

Li Su couldn't help but ask Ouyang Ruoshui: "Ruoshui, tell me, do you like to be an artist?" ”

Ouyang Ruoshui shook his head and said, "Your Highness, after this incident, don't you still understand my heart?" ”

Li Su shook his head and said, "Ruoshui, don't I know your thoughts?" ”

"Let's put this question aside, I just ask you, do you like to be an artist?"

Hearing Li Su's words, Ouyang Ruoshui's eyes turned red, and tears fell uncontrollably.

With a smile on his face, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I like to be an artist, I will be an artist well!" ”

A smile with tears in your eyes!

But Li Su knows that a smile is like a flower, but what comes out must be bitter fruit.

Li Su sighed slightly, couldn't help stepping forward, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Ouyang Ruoshui's face.

Then he gently hugged her and said, "Ruoshui, you misunderstood what I meant." You also know who I am, and if you get married, you won't have a chance to show your face again. ”

Although in the later generations, there is naturally no taboo in this regard.

But at the time, it certainly didn't work.

How can the wife of a prince show her face and do such a cheap job?

Even though the status of artists has improved, in the eyes of many people, it is still a cheap job.

"And I can feel that you actually like it here, and I'm going to give you a few more years. When you get tired of that day, leave the stage and marry me, okay? ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Ouyang Ruoshui suddenly lost control and couldn't help crying.

"Your Highness, are you telling the truth? Don't you dislike my low status, are you really willing to marry me? ”

Li Su's hug couldn't help but tighten a little tighter, and then said firmly: "Ruoshui, how could I not know about your friendship with me?" ”

"Don't worry, what I said is naturally true. When do you get tired of it, you tell me, I will marry you back at any time. ”

Ouyang Ruoshui couldn't help nodding desperately, the tears in his eyes were wiping more and more, and he couldn't wipe them off.

Li Su coaxed for a long time before gradually coaxing her.

Next, Li Su picked up Ouyang Ruoshui and walked towards the bed.

Of course, Ouyang Ruoshui knew what was going to happen next, and his heart was both sweet and extremely nervous.

At this moment, she buried her head deep in Li Su's arms, not daring to look at Li Su.

Soon, the two were on the bed.

Before the rain, the stamens between the flowers are first seen, and after the rain, there are no leaves at all.

The bees and butterflies went over the wall one after another, but they suspected that spring was in the neighbor's house.

This poem has nothing to do with what the two of them do next.

In fact, it's just a beautiful dividing line.

After a long time, the clouds and rain dissipated, and both of them were very tired and hugged each other and fell asleep.

By the time they woke up, it was already dark.

Both were growling with hunger.

Ouyang Ruoshui endured the pain and dressed Li Su.

Li Su smiled slightly, and didn't ask her to help, but Li Su helped her get dressed.

Ouyang Ruoshui was so shy that he didn't dare to look up at Li Su at all.

And after being moistened by rain and dew, Ouyang Ruoshui's body exudes the amazing charm of a mature woman, and it is more and more bright and beautiful.

For a while, Li Su couldn't help but be stunned.

This made Ouyang Ruoshui shy and sweet.

Not long after, Li Su called a table of wine and food, and the two leaned together and began to eat.

When eating, the two will often subconsciously look at each other.

Then the gaze will naturally collide in mid-air.

At the beginning, Ouyang Ruoshui would shy avoid.

But later, Ouyang Ruoshui looked at each other silently.

Between the gazes, the eyes are the most expressive.

The friendship between the two has been so strong that it can't be dissolved.

After eating, Li Su listened to Ouyang Ruoshui play a song again.

The two of them talked for a long time.

Before you know it, it's late at night.

At this time, His Highness must go back.

Ouyang Ruoshui reluctantly prepared to send Li Su away.

But unexpectedly, Li Su said to her: "Ruoshui, it's not early, I'm so sleepy!" Let's hurry up and wash up and go to sleep, right? ”

Ouyang Ruoshui asked in surprise, "Your Highness, aren't you leaving tonight?" ”

Li Yu laughed and said: "That's natural, today, I am yours, I will only accompany you, and I will not go anywhere!" ”

Next, the two take a bath together and then rest.

The joy of the boudoir is more than that of the thrush, so naturally it is not necessary to mention it.

……

After accepting Ouyang Ruoshui, Li Su had a matter on his mind.

After that, when he had time, Li Su would often come to Ouyang Ruoshui.

And Ouyang Ruoshui was nourished by love, and became more and more bright and moving.

And in the next time, Li Su focused on Nanzhao a little.

After all, Nanzhao will be Li Su's second big rear.

And compared with Tuyuhun, Nanzhao is further behind and more solid.

There is also Tubo behind Tuyuhun, and there are uncertain factors.

On the Nanzhao side, there are not so many threats.

Time flies quickly, and it is Huangmei Mayday in a flash.

After the wheat is harvested.

Because of the help of Datang, Meng Xianzhao has achieved a bumper harvest this year, and the grain output has been greatly increased.

It was enough for their tribe to eat for two or three years.

The people of Mengzhao also got a lot of opportunities to work because of the Tang Dynasty's road construction and city repairs here.

Their lives have also improved a lot.

During this period, Duan Gongming again levied 20,000 soldiers.

These 20,000 soldiers, after more than half a year of training, are still recruits.

But under the leadership of veterans, it can already come in handy.

As long as the city is completed, it is time to consider using troops against the other three tribes.

And again, Duan Gongming and Li Su both sent a large number of people.

Detailed pre-war preparations were made for the population, troop deployment, terrain and topography of the other three tribes.
