Chapter 299: Taoyuan Three Knots

The Sangjia tile in the east of the city is particularly lively today. The newly opened entertainment company of the three divisions www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion opened here today. Xu Ping's handwritten big trick was hung in the most conspicuous place, in order to recruit people, but also printed advertisements, hired street children to distribute everywhere in Kaifeng City. There were already small advertisements in Kaifeng City, and after the three divisions began to open various companies, they became more and more prosperous under the intentional promotion of Xu Ping. Thanks to the three divisions of the paper company and the printing company, these things are now not expensive.

After ending the affairs of the yamen early, Xu Ping invited a group of officials who liked this kind of entertainment and covered the most central position in the audience. At this time, rapping is the most exciting, and he is the best at speaking, and the most people cheer the audience. Words are told in stories, and speaking is similar to storytelling in later generations. But this era cannot be called storytelling, because storytelling refers to the interpretation of scriptures, such as Jia Changchao and others who specially explained the book of sages and sages for Zhao Zhen, and they told stories for Chongzheng Palace, and folk artists did not dare to mix with them.

Zhao Yuanyan, the eighth king, sat in the middle, with great interest, looking at the surrounding scenery while commenting on it. With an identity like his, he used to invite these artists to his home, and let them play whatever they wanted to hear and watch. Xu Ping's three divisions opened these companies, and it would be a little difficult to do it like that.

As soon as the company opened, the eight kings sent someone to ask Xu Ping what the company was best at, and Xu Ping replied that it was three points. The eight kings were about to call people to their homes to perform, but Xu Ping sent the bill. Inviting someone to the house is not particularly expensive, Xu Ping has always been fair in business, and he will never be black-hearted. The problem is that there are fifty or sixty three-point games, which adds up to a bit scary, no matter how rich the Eight Kings' families are, they will not be cheated by Xu Ping like this. In the end, I have no choice but to listen to it first, whether it is worth spending money.

Drinking tea and eating melons and fruits, the eight kings talked and laughed with the people around them. The people who are most enthusiastic about these folk entertainment are naturally those who are rich and leisurely, either princes and magnates, or relatives and close ministers, and then military generals. Wenchen despises these folk arts, and no matter how much money and leisure he has, he can't compare with these people, but he likes less.

Behind these people, the civil officials who came were mainly a few idlers in the pavilion, and Xu Ping gave them free tickets to pull them over to support the field. Among them are Han Qi and Wang Yaochen, they are not because they like it, but because they are in charge of the court, and the other is to take care of Xu Ping's face, so they came to cheer on the scene. Behind them, sitting were Li Jing and Liu Yong.

Liu Yong went to Hedong to serve as a magistrate of the county, returned to Beijing to change officials, and was asked by Xu Ping to go to the third division to preside over the matter with Tian Jing. In this era, the palace tunes are still only in rudimentary form, and even this name is Xu Ping's impression based on his previous life, which is very primitive. Originally, the singing was just according to the spoken script, adding some singing words, but the main body was still mainly speaking, and the singing was just embellishment. To develop the opera of later generations, there are still countless ways to go. The lyrics and songs of opera must be done by people with musical talent and literary accomplishment, Xu Ping can only provide some synopsis of the story, music is really not his strength, and he can only find professional people to do it.

And Liu Yong, speaking from the heart, Xu Ping felt that he was a little wronged as a pro-people official in the state and county. is not only wronged by his talent, but also wronged by the people under his rule, this guy is really not a pro-government and love-loving material. Make the best use of your talents, or manage the entertainment industry.

After greeting the surrounding princes and nobles, the eight kings said to Xu Ping: "Advice, you are good here, but you are too greedy for money." It's good for the three divisions to manage money and food, but you can't just see money in your eyes. ”

Xu Ping was stunned: "King, how do you say that?" You see that today's guests are full, and everyone doesn't think it's expensive! ”

"That's it, don't lie to me that I don't understand the world! How many of these people are sitting in the country? If you look at the tiles elsewhere, as long as you pay one penny or two pennies, you can go in and have fun for a day, but in your case, you have to pay 20 wen as soon as you enter the door, and our seats cost 50 wen. Dare to collect it like this, it's not just that you only see money in your eyes! ”

Xu Ping smiled: "King, you can't just see how much money you charge." You're sitting here, there's tea, there's wet towels, there's a cold breeze blowing, and there's a little guy waiting for you at any time, which is found elsewhere? Besides, it's good to only charge one or two pennies elsewhere, but no matter what you look at and listen to, people still have to reward money, and we don't have this rule here. ”

The Eight Great Kings said: "Don't reward money, what do you eat and drink when you speak?" Don't want to provide for your family? ”

"Naturally, there are companies that pay them! Where does the salary come from? It comes from the money you paid when you got started. With us, there is no need to give a reward. One is to save you money, and the other is to reduce unnecessary troubles. The other speakers in the tiles, in order to be greedy for money, stopped talking when they reached the critical joint, and continued to talk about it until they had enough money. How can the listener be in a hurry while listening? When I went to the tile of the third division, I paid the dozens of yuan, and there was no such thing, and I enjoyed it all day. ”

The Eight Kings shook their heads with a smile, and they didn't know if it was appreciation, or if they felt that what Xu Ping said didn't convince him.

was in this mess, only to hear a gong, the curtain in front of him opened, and Li Shibalang walked on stage.

At this time, people with this status could not wear the clothes of a scholar, and they did not have the style of either robes or suits in Xu Ping's previous life, but wore short brown like working people. You can't sit still, but you can only stand and speak. If you follow their usual rules, you have to do it again and again, and thank the people who came to cheer first.

Xu Ping dispensed with the old rules, because performing on stage is different from performing in a crowd, and you have to catch the audience's attention. Self-inferiority can certainly make people feel affectionate, but talking programs are also easy to distract the audience.

Li Shibalang Shi Shiran walked to the middle of the stage and bowed and saluted: "Little Li Shibalang, who was originally talking in Xiwazi, Zhouzhou, begged for some reward money to make ends meet. Because of the appreciation of the officials in the three divisions, they came here to say a few words of gossip and ask everyone to see the officials. ”

The Eight Kings touched their waists, raised their hands and wanted to reward, and suddenly remembered that Xu Ping said that there was no reward here, so he couldn't help but put his hand down again. Turning around, he looked at Xu Ping and laughed.

Li Shibalang has been on the road for many years, and although it is the first time to speak on such an occasion, he can still calm the scene. Regardless of the various expressions and actions of the people in the audience, just talk about yourself.

Don't talk about the topic first, but first tell a new story in the capital to attract everyone's attention. This is called the first round of victory, and it is also called the first round of victory, because most of the spectators who usually listen to the talk are soldiers of the forbidden army, and they win to please their heads, and a large crowd is small merchants and hawkers, and the benefit is to please them. The name of the first round of victory has been used to future generations, but it was in this era that it was first called.

Li Shibalang told the story of Feng Shiyuan recruiting people and defrauding loans from Jingshi Bank some time ago. However, it is relatively brief, just a general mention, leaving room for future play. This is from Xu Ping's instructions, opening these companies is not to make money, but for the propaganda of the New Deal, of course, we can't let go of a little opportunity.

After listening to Li Shibalang's speech, the Eight Kings smiled at Xu Ping and said, "This one is very clever, and this matter can also be explained in detail." ”

Before the words fell, I only listened to Li Shibalang on the stage and said: "The general trend of the world, if you join for a long time, you will divide for a long time, and you will be together for a long time." The little one said this paragraph today, it was during the Jian'an period of the Later Han Dynasty, three heroes saved the world from danger, and became brothers with different surnames, named 'Taoyuan Three Alliances'! ”

The Eight Kings were stunned: "I've heard it countless times, why haven't I heard this paragraph?" ”

Of course, I haven't heard of it, Taoyuan's three knots are derived with the prosperity of saying three points, and the content of later generations continues to increase. This era has not yet formed this story, it is Xu Ping who rearranged the story of three points according to the memory of his previous life, and installed this beginning. How can you attract people if there is no place that is different from other places?
