After the two lectures, Li Zhigao left in a hurry under the pretext that there was something else to do, and of course, before leaving, he did not forget to use his authority to call Emma out and give her three days off, so that Emma could talk to her sister Li Li and catch up with each other.

"Where are we going?" After seeing Li Zhigao's hurried steps and signs of leaving this campus, Yin Ruizhi, who was greatly interested in this campus, couldn't help but ask, "Don't you continue to take me to visit the school?" ”

"Oh, that, anyway, come to Fang Chang, I'll give you a pass when you go back, you can take your time to visit here." Li Zhigao shook his head, "As for now, I still have to go and see the affairs of the art troupe, well, if you don't like it, you don't have to come along." ”

"Art troupe? What art troupe? ”

"It's the literary and artistic work group." Li Zhigao waved his hand, "Forget it, I don't understand it for a while, if you are interested, just follow and take a look." ”

After hearing what Li Zhigao said, Yin Ruizhi really didn't say much, but followed closely, and also wanted to see what Li Zhigao's art troupe was.

The group left the Taiping Academy and got into the car, and then it was still Li Zhigao's Xiaolong off-road vehicle that took the lead, followed by the four-wheeled truck loaded with the guard platoon, and the car followed one by one, in a long snake formation, driving along the road in another direction.

The road in the city is a little narrow, and only one car can drive through, so the convoy is a long snake formation, such a formation, plus it is Li Zhigao's own car that opens the road in front of the head, so it is not good from a safety point of view, but for the time being, if Li Zhigao does not drive in front of the head to lead the way, he is really afraid that the drivers of those sudden cars will have problems, so it can only be Li Zhigao's car in front and the escort car's car behind.

Fortunately, Li Zhigao's car was later modified in South Africa with bulletproof modifications, such as replacing bulletproof glass, installing bulletproof guards, etc., plus the guard platoon behind all used automatic weapons, so even if you drive in the city, there is basically no problem in safety, because unless you use a bazooka, if you only rely on light weapons in 1910, you really can't take Li Zhigao's car for a while.

Not long after driving, he stopped in front of an alley, and then Li Zhigao stopped and walked down and walked towards a dark red gate.

Not long after knocking on the door, an old man wearing a melon skin hat came out, and when he saw Li Zhigao and these people coming, he hurriedly opened the door, and then stood aside with his head bowed in a proper manner, not daring to say a word, as if he had known each other for a long time.

Li Zhigao didn't look at the old man, and walked directly inside, while Yin Ruizhi also followed those guards and hurriedly followed behind. Yin Ruizhi is just that, but looking at the appearance of those guards, it seems that they often come here, and they are very familiar.

Soon, Yin Ruizhi followed Li Zhigao into a wing room in the house, and after Li Zhigao found a seat and sat down, he saw a woman wearing green clothes and dressed like a maid hurriedly greeted him. ”

"Hmm." Li Zhigao nodded casually, "What's the matter with you?" Why didn't there be anyone all the way? ”

"Back to my lord, everyone is practicing standing in the front hall at this time, you came from the back door, this is the back hall, naturally I didn't see anyone."

"Standing on a pile?" Li Zhigao frowned, "Is Master Su here?" ”

"Yes." The maid nodded.

"Then go and call Master Suban quickly."

"Yes, sir."

The maid left for about ten minutes, and then heard a sound of broken footsteps, and then heard a soft and numb baby voice from outside, like Lin Chiling in the later generations: "Humble Su Yuqing, I have come to meet my lord." ”

"Come in." Li Zhigao smiled slightly.

"Yes, sir."

Soon, I saw a beautiful woman who was more than 1.7 meters tall, with a white face, with spring in her eyebrows, wearing a white summer military uniform of a posthumous 07 female soldier of the Republic Navy, wearing a white curly brimmed hat, white gloves, and a white long skirt and white leather shoes.

After entering the house, this woman dressed as a female navy soldier immediately saluted Li Zhigao, and then said in that delicate doll voice: "Report, humble Su Yuqing, please give your lordship a good day, and your lord will be blessed with Jin'an." ”

"Very well, let's stand aside." Li Zhigao waved his hand.

After listening to Li Zhigao's words, Su Yuqing put down his hand, and then stood aside in a proper manner, but kept looking at Yin Ruizhi with his eyes, but Li Zhigao didn't notice this, just smiled and introduced this Su Yuqing to Yin Ruizhi.

This Su Yuqing doesn't look like a young woman, but she was originally the head of the Jiqing class, and the Jiqing class is a Hui class that is good at performing Hui opera, which is commonly known as the Hui Opera troupe.

Of course, the term Hui opera did not exist at this time, it was a title that only existed after the founding of the People's Republic of China in later generations, and at this time only the so-called Hui class refers to the opera troupe that specializes in singing the Hui school.

The Hui class was once popular for a while, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, after the development of Peking Opera on its basis, most of the Hui class artists have changed to the new dialect (Peking Opera), so that Peking Opera is popular, but Hui Opera is said to be in decline, so that by the 40s of the 20th century, it has been on the verge of extinction.

The Hui opera of later generations was re-cultivated by the old artists of Hui opera after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it is already different from the traditional Hui opera, of course, because it has little to do with it, I will not mention it here.

This auspicious class is one of the few Hui classes that has not changed to sing new Peking opera, and the reason why the boss Su Yuqing is a woman is because this team was originally established by her father, and after his father's death, because he had no son, and the situation dictated, Su Yuqing inherited the team and became the head of the auspicious class.

At this time, the Taiping Mansion was not full of war, and Peking Opera had not yet occupied a dominant position, and the traditional Hui class was still very popular with the locals, so the auspicious class could be passed down to this day.

However, before meeting Li Zhigao, the scale of this troupe was only average, at least it was absolutely impossible to live in such a big and good house, the reason why it was able to stand out among many troupes and get Li Zhigao's strong support was entirely because the owner of this troupe was a woman, a very beautiful, very smart, and very knowledgeable woman.

Su Yuqing is only twenty years old this year, and in terms of Chinese unmarried women in this era, she is no longer young, but in terms of her boss, she is quite young. In fact, if it weren't for the special circumstances, even if Su Yuqing's father established the auspicious class with his own hands, it would be impossible for her to be the head of the class by a woman, which was completely unavoidable.

Because Su Yuqing's father died suddenly, he did not leave any will before he died, and after his death, everyone disagreed with each other, so he elected Su Yuqing as the boss, which was a compromise for everyone.

In this case, it can be seen that there is a lot of disharmony within the Jiqing class, if there is no accident, this Jiqing class is estimated to be broken up in a few years, and the reason why it is still holding on is that everyone has not yet found a good home or a new way out.

You must know that there are a lot of rules in the drama troupe during this period, and the drama job-hopping is very hateful, and there is no legitimate reason to jump ship or fly solo, especially if the old class owner leaves not long after he dies, the character will be broken, and once the character of the drama is gone, then you will no longer be able to eat in this industry, let alone the Hui class, all the other teams will block you.

However, Su Yuqing's identity as a woman was originally weak, but because of the noble Li Zhigao, there was a earth-shaking change.

This matter has to start with Li Zhigao's construction of the Art Troupe.

When he was training the troops earlier, Li Zhigao found that after he eradicated the illiteracy of the soldiers in the troops and taught them to sing a few more sensational songs, it actually caused such a big repercussion and the morale of the troops was raised very quickly.

In this regard, in addition to actively promoting some sports such as basketball and rugby, Li Zhigao also plans to learn from the Celestial Empire troops in later generations, that is, to establish a system of art troupes and train literary and artistic soldiers.

Although many people in later generations said that the people of the art troupe only sang and danced, and did not go to the battlefield, they were not worthy of being called soldiers, but that was because of the special situation of later generations, because the quality of the soldiers themselves was very high at that time, and the requirements for entertainment were relatively high.

However, in the early 20 th century, when the illiteracy rate was extremely high and there was a serious lack of entertainment, there was no doubt that the role of the army's art troupe was very obvious in order to rapidly raise the morale of officers and men, and this can be seen from the history of our party's army building.

That is to say, those art troupes may not be able to go to the battlefield to fight, but they play a great role in demagoguery, no, it is to motivate morale, influence soldiers, propaganda policies, etc., as long as the art troupe is controlled, and then the political commissar system is promoted, then the military spirit of the army can be firmly grasped in their own hands, and through the performance of the art troupe, to subtly change the mentality and psychology of the soldiers, so that they are wholeheartedly loyal to themselves.

In short, the art troupe, for those soldiers with relatively simple minds, is a big killing weapon, and it is absolutely necessary to build.

In China during this period, the main ones who could perform songs and dances were the operas in those troupes, so the best way was to find a troupe directly, and then change it into an art troupe on the basis of the troupe.

Originally, there were a few more famous troupes in Taiping Mansion, but most of them were more conservative and stubborn, and when they heard that they were going to be incorporated by the regimental training, even if Li Zhigao was the head snake, they all showed great determination, that is, even if they were killed, they would not go to the army to be a soldier, not to mention that they would change to sing the songs provided by Li Zhigao, change to wear the costumes provided by Li Zhigao, and change to perform the new dramas provided by Li Zhigao. Naturally, as soon as the head was killed, Li Zhi didn't mention it at all, it was purely those people who were showing their hearts, and if they really threatened to kill their heads, they might not be willing to maintain that kind of "noble feelings", but if they really forcibly oppressed like that, it would be completely contrary to Li Zhigao's original intention.

In the end, Li Zhigao chose Su Yuqing's auspicious class.

At the beginning, Li Zhigao was more curious because he heard that the head of this troupe was a woman, but as soon as he got in touch with Su Yuqing, that is, after a long conversation, he found that although the other party was a woman, he was not resting on his laurels, and was very interested in the new tunes, new stage plays and new equipment provided by Li Zhigao, which made Li Zhigao overjoyed, and made a decision on the spot, and wanted to spend money to invest in the Jiqing class and Su Yuqing.

In fact, what Li Zhigao didn't know was that the reason why Su Yuqing was so easy to talk was because she had already figured it out, according to the current situation, if nothing happened, the Jiqing class would disperse sooner or later, and if you wanted to keep the Jiqing class, you had to find a big backer, obviously Li Zhigao was such a big backer, not to mention the tunes that Li Zhigao made, Su Yuqing really liked it.

To put it simply, Su Yuqing is a young person who seeks change and innovation and is not stubborn, so he can be moved by Li Zhigao so easily, and it cannot be said to be moved, but both sides have needs, so they hit it off.

After that, things were simple, Li Zhigao spent money to invest in the Jiqing class, not only gave the Jiqing class a big mansion as a training ground, but also asked the Yangtze River Admiral, that is, Cheng Yonghe, a human trafficker, to get many good quality boys and girls as apprentices to the Jiqing class.

Then Su Yuqing and others became teachers, while teaching these boys and girls the basic skills of singing, chanting, and fighting, while using new equipment to sing the songs provided by Li Zhigao, and performing various stage plays provided by Li Zhigao, in short, it was a modern song and dance drama training class.

For this new change, Su Yuqing, who has gone through hardships and is precocious, is an indifferent attitude, and because he is still very young and not conservative, he also likes the modern new songs and dances and new ideas provided by Li Zhigao, plus he has a different kind of mind in it, so he almost accepted all of Li Zhigao's proposals, and he was not dissatisfied at all.

At the same time, in the process of frequent contact with Li Zhigao to discuss the construction of the art troupe, she admired Li Zhigao's talent and ability very much, and she had already secretly agreed, and later learned from the side knock that the other party did not have a wife, and she was even more bent on Li Zhigao, a young and wealthy and powerful man, so she welcomed Li Zhigao in every way, so every time she heard Li Zhigao coming, she would wear that set of "art troupe performance costumes", just because she knew that Li Zhigao liked her to wear it like this.

Of course, not everyone is happy with this change, for example, the old man who opened the door to Li Zhigao before, the reason why he didn't say a word was because he was not happy that the original auspicious class became like this, but unfortunately under Li Zhigao's strength and the pressure of real survival, he had to bow his head. However, these things are not in Li Zhigao's consideration, Li Zhigao is now busy every day, but he doesn't have time to care about what the old man in the troupe thinks.
