Those who can enter the Minghui Theater are rich people, and those who are not rich naturally have a way to be rich people.

Li Chengqian directly found Lian Yunshan and Xiao Yuexian, asked Wujie to give them the book, and gave them some funds, looking at the nominal Demon Sect leader who contributed money and efforts, and the backstage boss in secret. Lian Yunshan and Xiao Yuexian were also dumbfounded, and they still played like this?

A while ago, he contributed money and efforts to print and revise the Manichaean classics, but this time he began to throw money again, let himself recruit a troupe, and arranged for several masters of the teaching workshop to give them. And also to appear everywhere in the country. What's going on?

Li Chengqian looked at the expressions of the two of them, and said with a smile: "Before, didn't you always dislike the slow speed of mission? If you can make good use of this opportunity to carry forward Manichaeism and become the foundation of my future strength, you will be the greatest contributor to Manichaeism in the future. ”

Both of them are old rivers and lakes, and when they heard this, they still didn't understand the meaning. They were all ecstatic in their hearts, and they quickly thanked Li Chengqian and prepared to hurry up and arrange.

With the script, everything else is easy to do, although it is far worse than the Minghui Theater of Wujie, but, the copycat version, it has also begun to become popular, the lyrics have spread among the people, even Yunshan and Xiao Yuexian have spared no effort, gathered some clever sects, spontaneously formed a troupe, and acted in some restaurants and teahouses, and the owners of those restaurants and teahouses naturally understood the mystery and made a lot of money.

The life of the people in Chang'an City has formed a law, after the family has finished their work, they will go directly to the nearest teahouse or restaurant with a troupe, those who have spare money want to serve some wine and food, those who don't have to have a pot of tea, a plate of peanuts, and then the poorer ones simply bring their own benches, or even bring their own two legs, find a place to stand, watch the performance on the stage over there, and then go back after the performance.

Around the restaurant teahouse, there has always been no shortage of clever people, and some people seized the opportunity and began to wander around to sell some fruit snacks, so they also made a lot of money. After all, most people don't just stand up and watch the show, they always have to buy something to eat, so there are one and two, and all kinds of snack stalls have sprung up in the West Market, and some even sneak around the alleys of Chang'an Street to peddle.

At the beginning, forced by the laws of the imperial court, Chang'an and Wannian County Orders also sent people to arrest them, and later after a father-son debate by Li Chengqian, Li Shimin gave up. But the tax is quite high, and the tax is directly charged according to the selling price of 17%. In fact, this is also the tax rate of later generations that Li Chengqian himself knows. Of course, compared to the tax level of the West Market, it is more than a star and a half higher.

The businessmen who wander the streets, although they are small and profitable, but they can't stand the many people who buy them! The extra tax revenue from the two counties of Chang'an Wannian directly made the two county magistrates play a big face. This is a real achievement! This year's evaluation of the Ministry of Officials must be good, perhaps, I can move up!

In the court, Li Chengqian took advantage of this incident to take time to constantly bewitch several of his teachers, and with the acquiescence of the emperor, a new trend of thought began to gradually rise, in modern terms, that is, under the correct guidance of the imperial court, the academic and literary aspects were based on Confucianism, and a hundred flowers bloomed, a hundred schools of thought contended, and an open integration was carried out.

Although people still believe in Confucianism's filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty, on this basis, a trace of the consciousness of pursuing freedom and democracy has also begun to grow in the hearts of the younger generation, and the representative figures in their hearts are Li Wujie, Su Yueqin, and the top executives of the Tiantang Group, including Li Chengqian, Dai Wenxi, and so on.

Subsequently, within the emerging landlords and aristocrats, more than a dozen young talents represented by Li Yuanchang, Changsun Chong, Du He, Fang Jun, etc., also publicized and supported this trend of thought and Li Chengqian's actions, in fact, it was to support Li Chengqian, it was better to say that it was their own support, after all, they were all shareholders, they all had investments and shares in the theater and Tiantang industry, and the theater made money, and they would have dividends.

As for the support and applause of those elderly, in fact, they are all for the emperor to see, after all, their applause is actually support for the emperor, to be honest, the emperor is only thirty-one years old this year, that is the highest representative of the emerging forces, his support and acquiescence to opera, is the foreign trend of Tang literature and art.

Although, recently, Li Chengqian was called by his father and lectured several times, but on the other hand, it also showed the emperor's attitude, as well as his connivance and care for the crown prince.

All in all, the spring breeze in February is like scissors, with the arrival of spring, Chang'an City up to the princes and grandsons, the nobles of the family, down to the peddlers and pawns, slaves and maids, competing to watch Li Wujie's opera creation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is epoch-making, the whole Chang'an can be said to be ten thousand empty alleys, a change from the past lifeless atmosphere, this is much simpler than the poems of those spring and snow, it is easier for everyone to understand, and it spreads faster, and even a few famous students who write scripts are also famous in one fell swoop.

Li Chengqian happily stood in Dai Wenxi's Qingfeng Village Gathering Hall, looking at it without stopping, but he kept complaining in his heart. Although he felt that these names were awkward, because of Dai Wenxi's preferences, he didn't want to say anything, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was the reception room of the research institute.

"How about the Renaissance? In this way, the spread of new ideas will be faster and faster, basically using the growth time of a generation will completely change people's thinking, and this era. The growth period of a generation is only 15 years. Li Chengqian was complacent.

Dai Wenxi played with a model of a revolver in his hand, smiled disdainfully, and said: "There is no literature and art, where is the revival, there is no sculpture and oil painting, the piano and violin can't be made, what about literature and art, playing suona to watch ballet?" Don't you think it's funny? Besides, if you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, come to me, what do you want to take, let me tell you, there are some things that are secrets, and I am ready to become famous in one fell swoop. ”

Li Chengqian continued to laugh quietly: "It's nothing, I heard that you have made a gear and a ratchet, how about you see if you can make a few grandfather clocks, or the big wall clock used on the city tower, and then with the time mechanism that beats the drum and strikes the bell, how about inventing some timekeeping devices?" ”

"I know that there is no good thing, the invention of these devices is for the sake of heavy industry machine tools and future transmission mechanisms, you are good, first think of the morning bell and dusk drum, is it not that these are finished, you still have to get a bicycle."
