Chapter 166: White Cats and Black Cats, Catching Mice Is a Good Cat. This is a noble art!

After returning to the residence and having dinner together, Meng Haoran planned to go to the hometown of Nanke Temple again in the afternoon, while Tang Cheng went to work in the Yamen to observe.

Although it has been more than ten days since he came, Tang Cheng still hasn't finished the observation of the Yamen, but with his current position, he doesn't need to.

Thanks to the blessing of the Eastern Army, this small portal by Tang Cheng was placed in the core of the Yamen, and it was only a cup of tea away from the observation of the adult's office, a small courtyard lined with green trees and dense vines on the wall, in addition to the two official rooms of one large and one small, the most commendable thing is that there is a hall for meeting guests.

At this point, since he embarked on the road of a civil servant in the Tang Dynasty in Yunxi County, Tang Cheng finally had the first independent office in the real sense, and this is still in the core area of the Yamen under the observation of the head of the road, which cannot but be said to be a major leap.

The quiet environment, the quiet courtyard, and these exquisite official utensils, if you talk about office conditions alone, there is really nothing to say about all this at the moment.

The only thing that is not very harmonious with this office environment is that there are too few people in this small portal, and now even Tang Cheng, the "leader", there are only two people, and the only small soldier under him is Feng Haizhou, who came from Jinzhou.

When he was transferred that day, Tang Cheng had asked Feng Haizhou's opinion, if he wanted to continue to stay in the Jinzhou Yamen, Tang Cheng promised to recommend him to take over the position of Si Tian Cao Judge, but in the face of this famous and fat temptation, Feng Haizhou refused almost without thinking, and chose to follow his old boss to observe the Yamen.

Tang Cheng was naturally happy about his decision, after all, he was going to a completely unfamiliar environment, and he had confidence in his heart to have such an old subordinate to follow. Feng Haizhou participated in the whole process of his road construction in Jinzhou. Now that he is in the Dao, there are still so many things, and with such an experienced subordinate as him, Tang Cheng can save a lot of thought.

When Tang Cheng nodded with a smile and asked why he was willing to leave home and come to Daocheng, Feng Haizhou thought for a while and said: "It's a little tiring to be tired with adults, but every day there is a real refreshment after doing something, the subordinates are not old, and the days of half loose and half tight, half busy and half chaotic can no longer be lived." At this point, Feng Haizhou suddenly smiled, "Besides, I also want to follow to see how much of a movement the white wolf with empty gloves can finally make?" ”。

Hearing Feng Haizhou's previous words, Tang Cheng, who was smiling, was still quite complacent, in later generations, he had heard a lot about management, and only a successful leader could keep his subordinates busy. and busily willingly and faithfully followed. Judging from this standard, I am quite successful in this judgment! It's a pity that his good feeling didn't last long, and he was choked by Feng Haizhou's subsequent words and almost squirted out a mouthful of tea.

Empty gloves white wolf! This is what he taught Feng Haizhou. It's just that he really understands what he means......

Walking into the observation that the Yamen was a single official room, after Tang Cheng sat down, his mind was still thinking about the things that he kept thinking about on the way when he came.

How can we build a proper voice pipeline? This is the question that Tang Cheng has been thinking about since he left He Yuan in the morning.

Once, he also thought: Why don't we start a newspaper? It seems that the other traversers like to do this. In this way, it spreads ideas and guides the direction of Shilin. This is really the most commonly used and favorite weapon by traversers.

But after the initial impulse, Tang Cheng had to give up this tempting idea, for two reasons, one is that the technology is more troublesome, now this is the beginning of the Tang Dynasty when engraving printing has just emerged, movable type printing is far from appearing, if the cost of engraving printing to do the technical support of the newspaper. With both paper and ink prices high, that cost would be astronomical. Even if he has the idea to do technological innovation, how long will it take to make the clay type from invention to finalization? Clay movable type is simple, but it is not just a piece of mud pinched and burned, not to mention that there must be other word detection tools such as a runner with clay movable type.

The conscience of heaven and earth, what does the *** wheel look like Tang Chengzhen has never seen before.

These technical factors aside, the most critical of these times simply did not have the social basis for the publication of newspapers. The illiteracy rate is too high. The vast majority of the common people are illiterate, and the newspaper is printed to make money. Some people can see that they are burning high incense.

Well, even if you lose money to print it and distribute it to those readers for free, the effect is very limited, not to mention whether ordinary readers can accept his new gadget, even if they accept it, it is useless to have the right to speak. It is very likely that after spending a lot of money to get this thing, it can't stand up to the sentence released by He Zhongda and others when they were appraising.

Yes! I don't send Shannan Dongdao, and I don't hesitate to send it to the capital, which doesn't have any effect. In these years, there are those who have some fame in the capital, and those who have the right to speak do not know how many copies of the papers submitted by scholars from all over the world in a day, they can't even read this, and they are impatient to read it, can they still pay attention to this Laoshzi newspaper?

After comprehensive consideration, Tang Cheng came to a result, the result of running a newspaper is very likely that he not only spent a lot of money, but also ended up being regarded as a clown who wanted to be famous and crazy, and left a very bad reputation in Shilin.

It doesn't work to run a newspaper, and the result of publishing a book and a collection of poems is not much different from this. Tang Cheng really didn't find a way that was most suitable for the characteristics of the current era for a while.

When Tang Chengzheng was thinking about this, Feng Haizhou walked in from outside, "My lord, this is an official document sent by the yamen of the neighboring Fangzhou official road."

Looking at the few official documents that Feng Haizhou was holding in his hand that were still stained with feathers, Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing, "What's so urgent, even the feather book has come out!" ”。

"The feather book flies to the Hanhai, and the hunting fire shines on the wolf mountain", the practice of the Tang Dynasty, if the transmission is urgent, a few bird feathers will be pasted on it, which is for the feather book, similar to the meaning of express mail in later generations. This was originally a habit in the military to transmit emergency military documents, but later it slowly infiltrated the local administrative system. However, in this peaceful year, the number of times this is used between the yamen is really rare.

"My subordinates have already read it, and the meaning of these official documents is the same, that is, to urge the adults to move quickly. Adults don't know yet, these states are different from our Golden Prefecture, and the people who are in charge of building roads are all Thorn Shi himself", Feng Haizhou smiled and put the official document in his hand in front of Tang Cheng, "Since you have made a start, my lord." Now those neighboring state officials know that this road construction is a fat problem, otherwise these envoys would not be in such a hurry."

"This is a good thing, since they are so enthusiastic and eager, then our business can be easily handled", Tang Cheng, who laughed when he heard this, then asked: "By the way, I sent a letter to the big businessmen in those states."

"I sent it four days ago, and now I guess 'touch' they should have received it."

"That's good, let's do the preparation work ahead. When the time comes, I will go down calmly."

Feng Haizhou nodded and handed over a stack of things, Tang Cheng saw that these were all invitations with famous thorns attached, "What do you mean?" ”。

"These are all places to invite adults to the banquet", Feng Haizhou turned his head and gestured to the big official room opposite. "It's still very empty over there, and these people are all here for this."

Yu Dongjun gave Tang Cheng six places and allowed him to choose his own subordinates. And he only brought Feng Haizhou, speaking of which, there were still five vacancies in his small portal. When I entered the Yunxi County Yamen that day, there were so many people who broke their heads and squeezed in, not to mention the observation of the Yamen. Obviously, these people are trying to go through his door to make vacancies for their children and nephews.

"Now I have this thought there, let's put it away first, so let's wait for us to come back from below", Tang Cheng threw the invitation card aside, shook his head and smiled: "Others here are crowding to come in, my second brother is good." Said to come, but it hasn't arrived in the past few days! ”。

"It's not good to explain the things on the other side of the road, and it's not easy for him to go", Feng Haizhou said a word, and then wanted to turn around and go out.

Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this, Zhang Zishanfu took over the road repair matter, and there must be many unclear things that need to be consulted by Zhang Xiangwen, so he was delayed in Jinzhou. "Wait two more days. If he doesn't come again, he won't wait, Haizhou, you can reply to the state government below. Let's just say we'll leave in two days."

Feng Haizhou nodded and went out, these official things were just cats and tigers, Tang Cheng didn't pay too much attention to it, after pulling the rope and letting the handyman deliver the tea, he took a sip of tea while pondering the matter of the voice channel.

It's a pity that until the bell rings, there is still no clear idea.

When Tang Cheng and Feng Haizhou returned to their residence together, Meng Haoran, who was wandering outside, had not come back yet, he had just eaten, and Xiao Er walked in with Guan Guan.

"Ah Cheng, why do you stay at the inn?".

"Laifu, use the Mengding stone flowers we brought to cook a pot of tea, and then let the cabinet send four fresh fruits up", after giving Laifu an order, Tang Cheng invited Guan Guan to sit down, and said with a smile: "This time the transfer of the Taoist government is too urgent, and I haven't taken care of the house, Yingjun is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to '' these things, so I can only make up for a while in the inn."

Laifu was dismissed by Ma Fu, and after resting for a while at Xiao Tao's place, he said through Lancao that he wanted to go to Tang Cheng's side to listen to the errand, Tang Cheng saw that he was clever, and his mouth was tight, and his background was not easy to use in Jinzhou Mansion, so he brought him together to make a long follower when he came to Daozhou this time, so it was really easy to use it for ten days.

"Sister Yingjun is pregnant! That's really going to congratulate Ah Cheng on you", Guan Guan lowered her head when she said this, so she couldn't see the look on her face clearly, and when she raised her head again, her face was already a "groan" and "groan" smile.

After some homely gossip, Laifu brought the tea pot in, and when Tang Cheng distributed tea to Guan Guan, he asked with a smile about her life in Daocheng.

"I won't do anything else, and it's not a way to sit and eat in the mountains, so I'm thinking about opening a garden in Liulinfang", Guan Guan said in his mouth, and when he took the tea cup in his hand, he deliberately glanced at Tang Cheng, and after seeing that he didn't show disgust, he quietly exhaled in his heart, "When I met Ah Cheng this morning, I was coming back from the West Market, and I bought some things to pick up the garden I had just found."

Tang Cheng knew that the garden that Guan Guan was talking about was the Qinglou, although he was a little surprised to hear the news, he was not surprised, and as for the disgust that Guan Guan was worried about, he didn't have it. He is not a Taoist, this year is not comparable to the future generations, a woman's courage to stand on her own is a very admirable thing.

"Well, it's good to have something to do. It's not all about making money......", when Tang Chengzheng said this casually, his heart suddenly moved, and after thinking about it for a long time, things were suddenly triggered.

That's right, Qinglou! Isn't this a ready-made good way, speaking of which has made a significant contribution to the spread of Tang poetry, this Qinglou is really a well-deserved first. At this time, when the Qinglou woman was serving wine to the guests, all she sang was poetry. This is also the origin of the allusion "Chess Pavilion Painting Wall", countless masterpieces are spread all over the world in this way, the most famous example is Wang Weidi's song "Weicheng Dynasty Rain and Light Dust", this famous song Yangguan three stacks almost in the Tang Dynasty is almost a pedestrian farewell must sing the repertoire, can be described as popular, everyone knows.

If you can't read, can you still not understand? Besides, how can a song with a beautiful melody be more acceptable than a cold text on paper, right?

As soon as the inspiration opens. The more Tang Cheng thought about it, the more he thought about it, especially after thinking of the example of "filling in the words by order and Liu Sanchang", he knew with certainty that this whimsical way would work.

"Where there is a place to drink well water, you will be able to sing willow songs." The reason why Liu Yong, who is almost the same era as Su Shi and Wang Anshi, is so popular and influential among the people is not that his words are better than those written by King Su, but because he has a larger voice channel. This vocal channel is Qinglou.

It was through the singing of the "prostitute" family, and then with the help of the word of mouth of those who were looking for visitors, that Liu Yong's words were passed out of Bianliang, the Great Song Dynasty, and to the distant Guanshan Desert, although the time was not so fast, but the way of transmission was similar to the popular songs in later generations.

Compared with the ideas of running a newspaper and publishing a book, using Qinglou as a voice channel is more in line with the worldly customs of the current specific era. If He Zhongda and others are condescending, they are far away. Mastering the land is Shilin's top-down influence. The Qinglou can be said to be a subversion of this authority, and it just follows the path of bottom-up, and its influence penetrates from the people to the elite class of Shilin.

One is that the city affects the countryside, and the other is that the countryside surrounds the city, regardless of whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat.

Tang Cheng was halfway through his words, and Guan Guan, who had taken a sip of tea, raised his head and called softly: "Ah Cheng......."

"Wait, I'm thinking about something very important." After casually replying. Tang Cheng was excited, and sank into this sudden inspiration again.

To say that this path is not without drawbacks, the same Liu Sanbian is the best example. Although he filled in the words well, but also because his relationship with Qinglou was too close, so that in Shilin, and even the emperor's heart, he became a boring and floating literati, because although he was famous all over the world, he was very stumbling in his career, if it was really the same as him, it would be self-defeating.

Is there a way to take full advantage of the benefits of this channel without harming it?

Tang Cheng frowned slightly and thought, holding a teacup in his hand and staring at Tang Cheng silently in thought, the atmosphere in the room was very silent for a while.

After a long time, Tang Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stood up with a smile, "Guan Guan, how about I do this business with you?" ”。

Guan Guan, who suddenly avoided his eyes, said in surprise: "You do it with me?" Ah Cheng, your identity ......".

"Who am I? Besides, what we have to do is not an ordinary green building."

"Not an ordinary green building?" , Guan Guan became more and more confused the more he listened, "Ah Cheng, what do you mean?" ”。

"If you want to say that other gardens are green buildings, then our garden is a noble club", Tang Cheng's mind was inspired, and he smiled: "Our garden only sells art, not body, and takes the road of noble art."

"This ...... Ah Cheng ...... Someone else is coming."

"Yes, why not?" Tang Cheng nodded confidently, "Since you can get the best enjoyment in this garden, the best song, the best dance, the best pipa and Qiang flute, the best tea, the best wine, everything is the best, then...... Why didn't anyone come? ”。
