Chapter 297: Tricksters

In a small courtyard of Baoxiang Temple, Xu Ping looked at all kinds of people in front of him, and said to the public officials standing on the side: "The weather is hot and dry, and everyone is standing hard, go to give a seat and tea." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

An old man with a short figure and a gray beard under his chin stepped forward and arched his hand: "What kind of person is Xianggong?" We who are performing arts in the tiles are engaged in cheap business, how can we sit in front of the minister! Give a cup of tea, quench your thirst and be grateful. ”

The characteristics of the times, people with very different identities really can't sit together, Xu Pingqiang wants them to sit, I'm afraid it will make them feel uneasy. He did not insist on it any more, but let the officials give him tea, and let the men stand there.

After drinking tea, Xu Ping said loudly: "Recently, the three divisions of the new policy, the world's profitable business, more companies have been opened, do you know?" ”

Or the old man from before came out and replied: "Back to Xianggong, what we people are talking about is the market news, how can we not know such a big thing?" All kinds of new policies, such as corporate banks, etc., are too familiar to be familiar with them. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "That's the best." By the way, what do you call it? It's all you who come out to answer, what's the reason? ”

The old man arched his hand: "Hui Xianggong, the little surname is Peng, everyone calls me Peng Laolang." Because he has been in the tile for a long time, everyone loves him. ”

Lao Lang is an older and more skilled person in their industry, and he is a professional title, similar to the leaders of other industries, not just loved by everyone. These industries, because of the complexity of personnel and the large mobility, are gray areas that the government does not manage much, and these old men and leaders have a very heavy right to speak. Today, the official summoned these people to not know whether it is a blessing or a curse, and before understanding the details, it is the leading people who come out to answer, in case there are too many words and they will be lost.

Hearing Peng Laolang say that he was familiar with the new deal, Xu Ping nodded secretly. If these people want to entertain the common people, they naturally have to pay special attention to the new things in society, which is the market news that Peng Laolang said. The gossip of the people in the capital is extremely heavy, and it was only through the tabloid, the predecessor of the newspaper, that the newspaper of later generations was able to appear, and the word news was also widely used, and the tabloid was mainly published in the news. At this time, the meaning of the word news is not much different from that of later generations, but it is concentrated in the social aspect, and it is not a proper noun.

Signaling Peng Laolang to retreat, Xu Ping asked loudly again: "Which one is Du Xiu of the Sang family?" Is it coming? ”

A middle-aged man in a long robe squeezed out from behind and bowed: "The little one surnamed Du talks and makes a living in Sangjiawazi every day, mixing some money and rice to make a living." Because he read two volumes of poetry when he was young, he was known as Du Xiucai. I've seen Xiang Gong. ”

Xu Ping saw that this person was bookish and asked him, "Where are you from?" It looks like a reader, should it be overdone? ”

Du Xiucai said: "The little one was originally a passerby in Jingdong, and the state and county didn't mention it, but now he is doing this cheap business, and he insults his ancestors when he talks about his name." ”

After listening to such an answer, Xu Ping was basically sure that this was a student who had studied since childhood, and he had learned that he had fallen into the imperial examination in the capital, and he might not be able to return to his hometown from now on. In this era, the imperial examination did not have so many preferential treatment in later generations, except for the special policies such as the Sichuan Gorge Road, where you can get post coupons to live in a post station on the way into Beijing, most of the people who raised the examination entered Beijing at their own expense, and the family was really poor or took out loans. Once settled, the previous investment was wiped out, and many people have been in the capital ever since.

Every time the qualification of lifting people is opened, they must return to the state to retake the examination, and this exile in the capital has actually been unable to follow up since then, and in order to support his family, he has done everything. The entertainment industry in the capital, especially the art of talking and opera, is mixed with a lot of people who can't return to their hometowns. With the participation of these people, the level of the entertainment industry in Beijing has been improved. In the Goolan tile, there are countless artists named after Jinshi, Juren, and Xiucai, but there are real and false.

Xu Ping no longer asked Du Xiucai about his life experience, and said to him: "Have you ever spoken before entering the palace?" ”

Du Xiucai bowed down and said, "The little one has entered the palace a few times and has received a lot of rewards. ”

Xu Ping nodded and said to him: "In this way, you are different from others, and stand in front." ”

Seeing that Du Xiucai was courteous, someone at the back of the crowd shouted, saying that he had also entered the palace to perform. Some of them also clearly stated the time, who invited them, how many rewards they received, and said that they had noses and eyes. Xu Ping only didn't hear it, and gave Du Xiucai a courtesy, because Zhao Zhen specially mentioned it, and he couldn't help but give face to the emperor, and others didn't have to do it. Since it is to run a company, it is natural to follow the rules of the company, use who and not whom, and have its own articles of association.

When the crowd calmed down, Xu Ping ordered Peng Laolang and Du Xiucai to count the industries and content that the people who came today were engaged in. Make a book separately and let Li Jing next to him write it down.

Although it is an entertainment company, Xu Ping still wants to compete for the ideological position, so the content censorship is still attributed to Li Jing, the Guozijian. Moreover, these market entertainments belong to the category of rumors, and Han Qi from the Imperial Court was also invited. The wind is the wind in the meaning of "National Style" in the Book of Songs, which refers to the fact that the news comes from the people, and it must also be grounded. Such a concert must be supervised by the Imperial Historical Observatory, and it cannot be made up without basis.

In addition to these two people, Xu Ping also found a helper, the eighth year of the Heavenly Sage, the Jinshi, who had recently been admitted to the virtuous and good Fangzheng system, and had just entered the pavilion. Tian Guo's writing style of writing stories is good, and I don't reject this matter, which is exactly Xu Ping's favorite candidate. Although it is a folk entertainment, it cannot rely entirely on private personnel, and it is necessary to involve the pavilion personnel. In the future, Xu Ping will also attract pavilion personnel to participate in the creation of scripts and miscellaneous scripts, and give rich brushstrokes, and officials also love money.

After a while, Peng Laolang and Du Xiucai counted the people who came, wrote a booklet, and handed it in.

Xu Ping took the booklet and looked at it carefully. Today's artists from two industries are here, one is Zhugong Tune, which is the predecessor of the North and South Miscellaneous Dramas. Opera has a strong vitality in the folk, and Xu Ping will not let it go back then. Another is talking, which is now the most vital and influential folk entertainment, and it is hard to analogize, which is equivalent to various forms of music such as storytelling, symbiosis, drum books, and even two-person turning. The props needed for the performance are simple and are loved by the people.

In addition to the form of speaking, there are several kinds of content, and the content has its own expertise, and the artists are basically proficient in one. The general direction is divided into history, scripture and invitation, novels, jokes, three points, five generations, iron riders, and so on. Among them, the jokes are similar to the cross talk of later generations, and the most famous figure in history is Zhang Ben, a figure in the time of Shenzong, who is good at writing fifteen-character poems, and this genre is called "limerick poems" in later generations. Speaking of three points and saying five dynasties can also be classified as history, but because they are particularly prosperous, they are listed separately.

Among them, the most prosperous are history and novels, which in turn include smoke powder, spirits, legends, and public cases.

Xu Ping looked at these contents and knew that the popular secular literature in later generations had basically appeared at this time, and the interests of the people were similar to those in later generations. In a word, it is "the spring is full of flowers and beautiful women's courage, and the moon is dark and the wind is cold". The most popular themes are nothing more than the first is that the pretty woman breaks through all kinds of constraints and boldly pursues love, and the second is that the heroes and heroes are happy and revenge on the rivers and lakes and make a fortune. The style is a little higher, that is, the history and the public case. Speaking of history is also the most widely spread in "saying three points", and the tone of the later masterpiece "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been set at this time. Public cases are mostly stories of rivers and lakes, solving cases is secondary, and various legendary plots are the ontology. As for the spirits, the original version of "Journey to the West" is still too slang and not widely circulated.

Since it's all familiar to you, it's easy to do. Xu Ping can't do it by reciting the heirloom novels of later generations, but he can still work hard to compile and list the synopsis of the story. Just like the story of the Three Kingdoms, the current story of "saying three points" is still too scattered and unsystematic, Xu Ping can at least wear it with a synopsis and let professional people fill in the content.
