Chapter 365: The Princess's First Errand
"Only singing and dancing?" Zhao Lao Er said with interest.
"Yes." Wen nodded in affirmation.
"And you... How do you sustain the theater? Zhao Lao Er asked.
"The official family means ........," he said in a daze.
"If there is only singing and dancing, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with those green buildings, right? Do you want to keep putting money in it and can't keep it up? Zhao Lao Er said curiously. The singing and dancing in the green building is a combination of spirit and flesh. I only plan to use the spirit to make money like this, and I will definitely not be the opponent of those green buildings, and the final outcome can only be a loss.
Wen Xiao smiled: "You don't need the kid to put money in it, although it is difficult to make a lot of money, but it is no problem to only earn some food and clothing." ”
"Not making money? That's not your boy's style. Zhao Lao Er pouted. A guy who can sell a few greens for 888 guan, a bastard who dares to sell soap in the name of the emperor for 1,000 guan, and even a hooligan who can fry a ploughing cow for 1,000 guan in order to make money.
Now he has suddenly changed his temperament, who can believe it!
Wen sighed and said: "The official family must know that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, there have been constant wars in this world, and the changes of dynasties are even more frequent, so that the people are miserable. Since Liang Taizu Zhu Wen, all dynasties have stepped on the bones of hundreds of people.
The ancestors said: Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger.
Those emperors and generals, whether for enjoyment or for the sake of the country, are constantly imposing various taxes on the people. As a result, the people no longer have any wealth in their families, and as long as there is a slight change, their livelihood will be difficult to maintain.
In the end, in order to survive, the people had to sell their sons and daughters to sell themselves.
And even if the men are sold, at most they will suffer a little and their lives will be more difficult, but the women, their situation is much more miserable.
Do you know the officials?
Those who were sold to the Qinglou were actually the luckier ones among these women. In the end, what they betrayed was just their own **.
But some women, who are good living people, should be such great beings as mothers, but in the end they become vegetable people.
Vegetable man!
Cannibalism!
If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, the people, the parents, would ruthlessly send their children to be vegetables.
The kid opened this theater, he didn't have any other ideas, he just wanted to give those hard-working women a way to live, as for whether they could make money or not, it really didn't matter! ”
Because of the relationship between concubines, Wen and Xiao Fengxian became intimate during this time, and sometimes when it came to Xiao Fengxian's life in Qinglou, Wen would say a few words of comfort, saying that she had suffered. It's just that Xiao Fengxian sometimes occasionally talks about it, compared with some other women, she is already very lucky.
When Wen learned from Xiao Fengxian that there was such a thing as a vegetable person among the people, he was sluggish for several days.
"Things hurt their kinds, and people are of the same mind. Such an act is no longer human. Seeing and hearing this, there were tears in his eyes, and Zhao Lao Er said with a gloomy expression: "Wang Renzhen! ”
"Yes." Seeing that the emperor's face was gloomy, Wang Renzhen hurriedly responded.
"Order the Wu Desi to investigate in detail, and anyone who acts like this will be killed!" Zhao Lao Er said in a deep voice.
"No!" Wang Ren said with a salute.
"Wang Jien."
"Yes." Wang Jien hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"Pass on Fan Qing, Wang Qing will draft a decree, and send it to the world, and if there is another person who does this, he will punish the nine clans!" Zhao Lao Er said word by word.
"No!"
"Official, be merciful!" Wen Zhili said.
Zhao Lao Er looked at Wen, stared at it for a while, and said, "Do a good job of running this theater." ”
"Yes." Wen Yingdao.
Wei Renpu coughed lightly and said, "According to Wenjue's talent, there is no problem in running this theater well." It's just that Wen Jue's reputation in the flower world is really hard to rest assured! ”
"Wei Guanren, what do you mean by this?" Wen frowned.
"Back then, Guan Zhong set up a female lu, in addition to absorbing money, there was also a very important mission, Wen Jue must not be unaware, right?" Wei Renpu said lightly: "What's more, these hard-working women who entered the theater, in order to be able to live, how dare they disobey Wen Jue's requirements, wouldn't they let Wen Jue do it!" ”
"........" was shocked when he heard this. This damn old man, I don't know if he is kind or deliberately embarrassed himself! If you borrow the name of the theater to raise singers, at most you will be charged with absurdity. But if there is an intention to manage the middle, then it will be troublesome, bribing officials, spying on intelligence, that is enough to eat and walk around.
"What Wei Guanren said is very true." Wen hugged his fist and saluted Wei Renpu, and thanked him sincerely: "It's the kid who didn't think it through, and it's really inappropriate for the kid to preside over this matter." The boy's reputation is not guaranteed, it is only a trivial matter, if those women are misunderstood by the world and their innocence is not guaranteed, then the boy is doing evil. ”
"The children can be taught!" Wei Renpu said with a smile: "Although Wen Jue's intentions are good, but the world is suspicious, and you need to be thoughtful in doing things, otherwise good intentions will also do bad things." ”
"Kid teachable!" Wen bowed again and thanked him.
"Wen Jue is polite." Wei Renpu waved his hand.
"Official, this matter needs to be entrusted to others." Wen saluted Zhao Laoer.
"You're the initiator, and if you don't participate, this theater won't be profitable. If there is no profit, it will not last long, and those women will inevitably go to the Qinglou again. ”
Zhao Lao Er glanced at Wei Renpu, and scolded in his heart, this damn old man is really talkative. Now that the matter is clear, whoever dares to take this errand is equal to who has ulterior motives.
"This, this ........," Wen said worriedly.
"If you have a suitable candidate, recommend it, if not, you still need to preside over this matter." Obviously a good thing, but now it has become a hot potato, Zhao Lao Er looked around the ministers who bowed their heads and counted ants, and it seemed that no one was willing to take over this errand. And even if they do, it's still a question of whether these old pedants can make it profitable.
"It's better to leave this matter to Princess Xiao Zhao in charge!" Wen Lingji moved. Xiao Zhao represents a royal family or a princess, the key is that she is a woman! There will be no unspoken rules for those hard-working women!
"Zhao'er?" Zhao Lao Er was stunned.
"That's right! The princess is probably the most suitable person for this matter. "The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The reason why men don't dare to take this errand is because they have to deal with those women all day long, and it is inevitable that they will be suspected of being under the melon field, even if there are no unspoken rules, but people are terrible, which really affects the career too much.
"But Zhao'er, can she be competent?" Zhao Lao Er groaned. He also thinks that Xiao Zhao is in charge of this matter is a good and harmless thing, the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, worried about the suffering of the common people, deliberately opened a theater to give those women who can't eat a way to live, which not only helps the reputation of the royal family, but also shows how much he, the emperor, attaches importance to the people.
The only thing worrying is that if Xiao Zhao can't operate and smashes the theater, it will be too embarrassing for the royal family.
"The official family can rest assured, Princess Xiaozhao will be in charge of presiding, and as for the profit, I will leave it to the boy."
"Well, that's very good!" Zhao Lao Er nodded with satisfaction. I heard that this guy is only responsible for coming up with ideas, but he doesn't care about personnel. It was he who suffered, but it was the royal family who got cheap in the end, so it would be a fool not to do such a sure-fire deal.
