Chapter 237: Food for Thought
Not only did he treat the soldiers well, but he also rewarded those craftsmen who made outstanding contributions to the development of the Huang family, and not only that, but also rewarded them with a living and beautiful young woman of the Japanese Kingdom.

The Huang family's horses are not what they used to be, their combat effectiveness is much stronger, and a reward also costs a lot of silver, and even a total of 5,000 advanced workers in the family have been rewarded, and more than 150,000 taels of silver have been spent.
Now the Huang family's monthly military salary expenditure is only more than 10,000 taels when they don't go out of the mission, and when they come back from the mission, they will be rewarded for their merits and deeds at once, and the effect is that all the Huang family, even if they are not soldiers, are looking forward to attacking.
Training at home is hard and boring, once you go out to fight, it is the most relaxed, Huang Sheng has trained the soldiers under his command to be bloodthirsty, and he will be energetic when he sees a war.
It's a pity that the head of the family did not announce that he would attack again immediately, but asked all the soldiers to continue to practice their skills to kill the enemy, and everyone had to sum up the gains and losses of this time to go to sea.
In particular, if you are a commander, on the premise of no fortification, rashly board the pier of the pirate's nest Xiaoyi Island, and be suddenly attacked by the enemy's nine artillery pieces, how will you respond? How do you experience this lesson?
The personal experience is very different from the paper talk, the soldiers of the Huang family are all educated, most of them have seen the nine cannons ambushed by the pirates, the head of the family has arranged the subject, and everyone has thought hard about it.
Every evening at the summary meeting of the various general flags, many officers and soldiers have been improved, and everyone believes that it is necessary to be cautious in the use of troops, and it is better to imagine more possibilities that are unfavorable to oneself than to blindly forge ahead.
The private soldiers of the Huang family began to practice literature and martial arts again, day after day, and the training ground was carried out in more than one place, Huangjiawan Island and Juehua Island.
The concubine Lan Cai'er and the big housekeeper Zhao Rui, who had reunited after a long absence, not only returned to the division safely with their subordinates, but also had dozens of more warships, and earned a million taels of silver. After listening to the descriptions of Lotus Xiang and White Peony, they were fascinated by the battlefield they saw with their own eyes, and they were a little unhappy that they were a few companions of Lotus Xiang every time.
They all begged the master to let everyone take turns to go to the battlefield with the master, and they all used infinite gentleness to serve the master so that they might make mistakes.
Huang Sheng finally criticized the two beauties very seriously, telling them that every job of the Huang family is very important, and they are not allowed to pick fat and thin.
They just made a fuss and were coquettish, and when they saw that the lord was unhappy, they hurriedly made amends, and used their watery tenderness to melt the lord's anger.
The auditorium on Huangjiawan Island began to try out the large-scale play 'Blood and Fire Liaodong' directed by Lan Caier, and the 1,000-seat auditorium was overloaded every day, with no less than 1,300 people coming to watch each performance.
Huang Sheng put a lot of thought into the stage design, and made something like a light box under the stage, with kraft paper with lines and lyrics written on it in transparent glass, and more than a dozen oil lamps with glass covers fueled by fierce fire oil to print the light box brightly.
The scrolls are manually shaken, and the subtitles move slowly, and the voices of the actors on the stage are synchronized during the usual rehearsals, so that the audience who may not be able to hear the lines clearly behind the stage can also enjoy the plot through the subtitles.
With a literacy rate of more than half and illiteracy decreasing every day, Huang Sheng's goal is that no one in his system is illiterate.
The appearance of subtitles and stage performances has further stimulated the literacy enthusiasm of the people of the Huang family, and the night school is like an auditorium for acting, which is crowded with people who take the initiative to learn.
The school's teachers are all volunteering to teach literacy at night, and the school on Huangjiawan Island teaches students to read during the day and continues to teach the common people literacy by lighting oil lamps at night.
Huangjiawan Island can be said to be untouched and the safety is guaranteed at night, even Gu Ling'er, a little girl, dares to walk at night to teach in school, of course, she goes alone There are almost none, the women of the Huang family are the main teachers, and the girls are all in groups of three or five go out and return together.
The propaganda effect of the stage play is too good, and the soldiers and civilians of Huangjiawan Island are full of righteous indignation, and everyone sympathizes with Yun Niang's tragic experience and hates the ugly Jiannu to the core.
The actors who played Jiannu didn't dare to go out on the streets now, because their performances had been interrupted several times, and some of the people who entered the plot forgot that this was just acting, and they shouted: Kill Jiannu! rushed to the stage, and without a weapon, he swung the soles of his shoes and beat up the poor people who played the slaves.
Lan Caier learned to be obedient. Before every performance, I came to the stage to tell the audience, so that they could choose to follow the head of the family to Liaodong to kill Jiannu, there are all actors here, and there are no bad guys.
The people of the Huang family have been educated, most of them have the experience of being bullied by Jiannu, and their relatives have died tragically under Jiannu's knife, and the performance of "Blood and Fire Liaodong" has torn open their bloody wounds.
Now the training of the brave and strong people in Huang's hometown is extremely serious, and the men who come to participate in the military training know that there are jackal-like Jiannu in Liaodong across the sea.
Only when the Huang family is strong and only by improving their combat skills can they guard this hard-won happy life, protect their wives and children, and make their wife's fate not as miserable as Yun Niang.
If Jiannu dares to attack the Huang family, all of us will fight with them, even if the jade is burned.
Sick Xi Shi, who participates in the performance every day, is tired and happy, and she is happy to see the soldiers and civilians of the Huang family who are reluctant to leave after watching the performance.
Huang Sheng told her that the audience is the best teacher, you should let them give more valuable opinions, improve the plot again, and wait for our family's Grand Theater in Jingshi Wang Gongchang to be put into use after the performance, the crew of 'Blood and Fire Liaodong' went to Beijing to make a splash.
Lan Cai'er is from Jingshi, of course she likes to go back to the limelight again, she has invested too much emotion in this work, and of course she wants to make it a smash hit.
Xiao Nizi is very smart, she launched a campaign to watch the play and write a review, encouraging all the audience to give suggestions, and giving ten tickets to the audience who were adopted.
The drama in the Huangjiawan Island Auditorium is not a casual way to go in to watch the play, you have to enter with a ticket, the ticket is either bought with money, or the benefits issued by the factory, and the soldiers only get three free tickets per person.
The tickets sold by the Huang family are not expensive, if they are sold like this, even the monthly money of the actors is not enough, not to mention that the Huang family has invested too many costumes and props and rehearsal expenses for more than a year.
The ticket for the Huangjiawan Island Auditorium is only 100 copper coins, and the additional seat ticket is 70 yuan, and the tickets sold for each show are proportional to the ones given. The ticket income is only more than sixty taels of silver per game.
Huang Sheng didn't want to earn the money of the people in his system, but he knew that in this China, which has a large population, nothing can be free, because it is unscientific.
After perfecting this play, let's go to Beijing to earn the silver of the dignitaries, and the tickets will be increased by more than 100 times, so we don't have to worry about losing money and making money.
In this era, there are very few entertainment programs, the people of the Huang family are not short of money, a hundred Wen can watch a play for an hour and a half, they can afford it, and there is a long queue at the door of the ticket office every day.
In order to put an end to scalpers, in the end, everyone had to be asked to use the grain book as a voucher to buy theater tickets, and the number of theater tickets bought by a family was recorded in the food book, which was not allowed to exceed three times the total population.
There is no way, some ordinary people have to watch it twice or three times after watching it once. The tickets for the 'Food for Thought' drama are also written in the upper limit of the food supply, which is a good story that will be passed down through the ages!
Huang Sheng also thought that this drama could make many Ming officials, soldiers and civilians hate the same enemy, and he was already thinking about how to publicize it. How to advertise with his experience from later generations will naturally be full of tricks, of course, can be appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.
Huang Sheng thought of the mobile light box propaganda car from the stage light box subtitles, and the design method was similar to the light box under the stage, the only difference was that it was moved to the carriage, and the size was modified, the length was shortened, and the height was increased by four times.
The propaganda car not only advertised the content it wanted to advertise, but also mixed some pictures of Jiannu massacring Han people, and then added some anti-Jiannu slogans, and the effect would definitely be very good.
Such a novel propaganda vehicle appeared on the streets of Beijing before the curfew at night, and the attention rate must be 100%, and I don't know how many people will organize the whole family to come to see the excitement.
Huang Sheng experienced the lack of entertainment in the 70s, that sad era during the festival, the county department store has a glass window about two meters square, with fluorescent lamps, pulling a string of stars, bright and breathing.
There are only a few children's toys inside, just such a shop window that no one would want to look at after the reform and opening up, bringing a touch of beauty to the lifeless city in the dark night.
Every night, there are three floors outside, and three percent of the people who come from all over the world come on purpose, and many people just look stupidly and can watch for half an hour.
The propaganda car designed by himself still has a picture and content, and it will definitely have a sensational effect in Daming Jingshi.
Huang Sheng arranged Shang Muming to take the students to draw a color picture like a comic book on transparent brown paper used as a shadow puppet, and the content was the plot and introduction of 'Blood and Fire Liaodong'.
These vivid and illustrated works are used as a picture scroll for the rotation display in the promotional car.
Huang Sheng also arranged for Shang Muming and his students to create real comic strips, that is, villain books, based on the drama of 'Blood and Fire Liaodong'.
