174.Chapter 174: The Storyteller

Just when Chang'an City set off a storm of money refunds due to the cancellation of betting on the cavalry and archery competition, several bookstores in Chang'an City were blocked and investigated by the government for selling books that were unfavorable to the imperial court.

Just after those bookstores were blocked and investigated, the imperial court then promulgated a regulation related to the publication of books, that is, any bookstore publishing any book, must buy a book number from a newly built book management department called the Hanlin Academy of the Imperial Court, and only after purchasing the book number can the corresponding books be published, if anyone violates this regulation, the bookstore will be closed immediately.

After the imperial decree was issued, the relevant officials could be seen everywhere in Chang'an City, going to the bookstore one by one to notify the inspection.

The bookstore owner didn't care, but when they saw that some of their colleagues were arrested because of this, they realized that the imperial court was really here, and for the sake of book distribution, it was necessary to have a book number.

Seeing this, these bookstore owners knew that they couldn't buy them, so they sorted out the best books sold in their bookstores, and rushed to the Hanlin Academy.

The imperial court has strict laws, although this matter is a little troublesome, and there are many complaints from the people, but the implementation has not encountered much difficulty, after the bookstores in Chang'an City have purchased the book number, the bookstores near Chang'an City have also rushed to buy.

In just a few days, the matter has been promoted.

Of course, merchants are profit-driven, and some bookstores see that the cost of buying a book number is very high, so they negotiate with each other that a bookstore will buy the book number, and then they will buy back the book with the book number printed by the bookstore and sell it in their bookstore.

It seems that this behavior has become a lot more troublesome, but these people have already negotiated it in private, and the book number is bought by one bookstore, but they will also pay for it when it is printed, which is equivalent to several bookstores sharing the same book number.

This kind of behavior naturally reached the ears of Princess Danyang and Tang Zhou, but neither of them stopped this kind of behavior, because they knew very well that this kind of behavior was produced under the development of the market, and since it was generated, it was reasonable.

With their development, their own bookstores are slowly growing, and bookstores that are not big may even give up the function of publishing their own books, but whether they insist on it or give up, it will not affect the overall situation.

Moreover, Tang Zhou didn't have time to care about these things during this time.

There are only three days left before the riding and archery competition, and before noon on this day, Tang Zhou took a thin old man with two beards into Cuiming Building, and Liu Ziyi was very puzzled when he saw that Tang Zhou had brought such an old man who was not good-looking and slightly funny.

But because this old man came with Tang Zhou, she didn't dare to slack off, came to Tang Zhou, and asked, "Little Hou Ye, who are you?" ”

At this time, Cuiminglou's business was booming, the guests were full, there were dancing girls dancing on the stage, Tang Zhou pointed to the old man beside him, and said: "His name is Lin Feng, known as Lin Tiezui, his mouth is profound, anything can be said in his mouth to say something interesting, you call down all the singers on the stage, let Lin Tiezui go up, today this marquis wants to listen to him tell a story." ”

"Storytelling?" Liu Ziyi was a little puzzled, she looked Lin Tiezui up and down, and then said, "Little Hou Ye, this is ...... Is it appropriate? ”

Cuiming Building is a place to eat, and all the dignitaries who come here are dignitaries, they still want to watch beautiful women dance, watching an old man sitting on the stage spitting and telling stories, will it make those diners have no appetite?

"Yes, just do as I say."

Seeing this, Liu Ziyi knew that Tang Zhou had already made up his mind, and after nodding slightly, he ordered someone to call those dancing girls down.

In Cuiming Building, many diners were enjoying the beautiful dancing girls while tasting the food, but suddenly the dancers left the stage and turned out to be a bad old man.

This can surprise the diners of Cuiming Building, and everyone present is noble and rich, although they know that this is Tang Zhou's restaurant and dare not make trouble, but inquiries are indispensable.

"Hey, boss lady, this dancing girl dances so well, why did she go down suddenly?"

"yes, what's the matter with such an old man sitting on the stage?"

"Hurry up and invite those beautiful dancing girls up, and give them some tips."

“………………”

“………………”

The diners were noisy and shouting, as if they were a little endless, Liu Ziyi and Song Xiaoyu, who came later, were a little nervous when they saw this situation, everyone is in business, and it is only right to meet the needs of diners, they want to watch the dancing girls, just let them watch, why invite a bad old man to the stage?

But they trusted Tang Zhou, so in the face of this situation, they just looked at Tang Zhou nervously, and did not rush to ask.

At this time, Lin Tiezui on the stage was yelled at by everyone to go down, but he was not particularly anxious, got up and bowed his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, today Xiao Lao'er will take the place of those dancing girls to support the scene and tell you a story, if you listen to it, please also appreciate a thin face, if you feel that what Xiao Lao'er said is unbearable, then without waiting for you to urge, Xiao Lao'er will roll off the stage by himself." ”

Lin Tiezui's speech was quite modest, and although these diners were a little impatient when they saw this, they didn't dare to really make trouble in Cuiming Building, so they waved their hands one after another.

"If you want to talk about it, let's talk about it quickly, we're still waiting to see the dancing girl dance."

"Yes, after the dance, there is still a singer singing and playing the piano......"

After the diner said a few words impatiently, Lin Tiezui said: "The story told by Xiao Lao'er is called "Romance of the Gods", which is about King Wu of Zhou and the immortals and gods to crusade against the king of Shang, and we are talking about the incense of the palace of Nuwa, the king of Zhou, and the ............last years of the Shang Dynasty."

Lin Tiezui began to talk about it after talking about it for a while, first saying a few words of the poems of the Chaos Beginning Divide Pangu Xian, Tai Chi Two Instruments and Four Elephants, and there were many knowledgeable people among the diners, and after hearing these words, he felt that Lin Tiezui still had some Taoism, so he let him continue to talk like this.

Even when it was said that the king saw Nuwa's face in the Nuwa Temple because of a gust of wind, and couldn't help but be disrespectful to the statue of Nuwa, and even thought crazy about it, the diners couldn't help but listen to it.

Even Liu Ziyi and Song Xiaoyu on the side nodded their heads again and again, and those guys who served tea and water couldn't move their feet when they heard it, and the tea was poured out of the guests' cups several times.

After speaking like this for the first time, Lin Tiezui woke up and said: "The king of Xuan sent a decree to the princes of the four roads, and each town will choose 100 beauties to fill the royal court. ”

After Lin Tiezui finished speaking, he was about to go down, and at this time, the diners who had originally asked Lin Tiezui to leave quickly were not allowed.

"Don't go, let's talk about it for a while, what happened to this king of Shang and chose that beauty?"

"Yes, this matter can be related to the anti-business of the Zhou Dynasty?"

"I don't know what Nuwa Niangniang thinks......"

“………………”

The diners talked a lot, but they didn't let Na Lin Tiezui leave.
