Li Guo likes to sing very much, although the conditions in the original time and space are very hard, but he also hums and chirps some favorite songs all day long. Even after crossing, from time to time, I can't help but roar a few times in the Qin cavity.

But if Li Guo understands music and raises Li Guo to such a height, Li Guo himself does not approve of it.

The addition of music as a small subject to Beihai University Hall is purely accidental.

The reason is that Li Guo began to screen those craftsmen and scholars from the West one by one, and Li Guo had to arrange them to suitable positions or posts according to their talents and needs.

And on this day, Li Guo met a young Western couple. Liu Ru and Tarina stayed by Li Guo's side and acted as translators.

The two men were dressed in extremely ordinary clothes, both wearing very old and tattered clothes, presumably because they were living in poverty. However, although the clothes of the young couple are torn, they are neat, the men are handsome, and the women are also very beautiful.

Moreover, the two of them were very polite, and when they entered the house, they took off their hats and bowed when they saw Li Guo. To Li Guo's surprise, these two people didn't know where to learn it, and said to Li Guo in Chinese, "Master Hu, we have come to you, I hope you can take us in, we are willing to be loyal to you forever!" ”

Li Guo was very satisfied, and it was a great sense of accomplishment to let Westerners take the initiative to be loyal. Li Guo nodded, "Sit, sit." ”

The young couple sat down solemnly.

"Take it easy, as long as you are sincere in coming to me, I will not treat you badly!" Li Guo had a great impression of the two of them.

"Tell me, what are you all going to do? You came to me at such a young age. Isn't it remarkable! Li Guo praised in an official tone.

The little couple's faces suddenly turned red.

"It's okay, as long as you know something, I'll take you in!" Li Guo looked at this situation, these two people didn't have much ability. But at the beginning, the young couple said that they would always be loyal to Li Guo. makes Li Guo comfortable, so Li Guo will try his best to help them. Not to mention the usefulness of shaving and patting horses, thousands of clothes are not worn! Li Guo is not exempt from vulgarity.

"We will preach the Lord and God." The man said timidly.

"No, stop, Lao Tzu is a god here. Propaganda of religion is not allowed here in Lao Tzu! Li Guo directly denied it.

"Can singing be considered a skill?" The woman plucked up her courage.

My God, Li Guo shouted in his heart, it's useless. What kind of ability is singing, Lao Tzu can also sing.

Seeing that Li Guo's face was not good, probably worried that Li Guo would not take them in, the woman in the young couple actually shed tears.

Li Guo couldn't stand this. He's decided to take them in, "Don't cry. What's going on? ”

The Western woman spoke.

It turned out that both of them were members of the church, and by coincidence, the two had feelings, and the two escaped. But this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed, and they are wanted. The situation of the two of them was extremely bad, and they were in a state of hesitation, when they heard about the Viscount of Lida recruiting craftsmen and scholars to the East. The two of them pretended to be craftsmen and followed Lida to Huaxia.

It turned out that this was the case, Li Guo understood. To put it bluntly, this is a monk in a foreign monk temple. Fell in love with a nun in a nunnery. Li Guo thinks that there is nothing wrong with this, it was a matter of the time to believe in religion at the beginning, and now that he believes in love, why not let people combine!

I'd rather demolish a temple than a marriage! Besides, the young couple swore allegiance to us when they entered the house, so let's stay, Li Guo thought.

"Then you can sing whatever you want!" Li Guo didn't care at all, the Qin dialect in the Shanxi area roared as vigorously as Xintianyou, and sang like a small song in Jiangnan, what was so strange? Li Guo waited for them to finish singing, and then arranged for them to go somewhere to do some chores.

Hearing Li Guo ask them to sing, the young couple attached great importance to it, they took out a piece of paper from their clothes pocket and sang to it.

"Ah~!" "Ah~!"

"Stop! Stop! What a mess! I'm also playing bel canto! What are the things written on the paper in your hands, bring them to me and see! Li Guo stopped the two of them from singing again, he couldn't stand this.

Li Guo took the paper and looked at it, huh? Stave!

"This stave is available now?" Li Guo was curious.

"There used to be, but it wasn't widely circulated, and it was generally used to record singing." The young Western couple replied.

At that time, there was indeed a stave, since the 13th century Cologne priest Francon, until the 16th century, the stave was gradually perfected, and even in the original time and space, it had been introduced to China at the end of the 16th century. The earliest written record in China was in 1713.

However, although Li Guo didn't understand music, he watched it for a long time and felt that something was wrong. I thought about it and understood.

"Is this stave complete? What symbols didn't fall? Li asked.

"No, that's it, we like to sing, we know the stave very well." The young couple explained.

Ah, it seems that the stave is still perfect, no wonder I see the problem. Li Guo said to the young Western couple, "This thing is really convenient, and it is also beneficial to the spread of songs." But there is a problem with your stave, that is, the length of each note is not marked, and you have an arc line on the top of each note to indicate the length, according to different beats, the effect must be very good. ”

Although Li Guo doesn't understand music, he has also seen staves.

At that time, there was indeed no symbol to indicate the length of the sound, the young couple pondered for a while, their hearts were overjoyed, and they turned around and left. And after such corrections, the stave is truly perfected. They attach great importance to music, and they bond because of music, and even encourage each other with songs during their escape, and they forget their purpose in a moment of excitement.

Li Guo, who didn't understand music, became a famous musician in the history of music because he invented the use of arcs to mark the length of notes.

"Come back!" Li Guo saw that the two people were leaving, and called the two back.

"Won't you ask me how I'm going to settle you?" Li asked.

Only then did the young couple wake up to the fact that this was the way to survive.

"Okay, I'll take you in, and I can also set up a small subject on music in my academy for you to teach. What exactly is taught? You go to Sun Dengke of the Propaganda Department, you have to talk to him. ”

"However, my opinion is that you should stop singing those pretentious songs, you must create some songs about labor! A song about the laborers! You must know that the laborer is the most beautiful! Singing the songs of the laborers is the most moving! ”

"In addition, I need powerful songs, I need uplifting songs, I need songs that inspire the soldiers!"

"You have to throw away what you have been and create songs that are easy for people to understand. You have to remember that a song that is detached from reality is powerless, and a song that has lost its audience is pale!

"You must always remember that you can be vulgar, and you can be vulgar to be elegant!"

Unexpectedly, this young couple remembered Li Guo's words, and in the years to come, they went deep into the grassroots to create a large number of popular songs, and even created the national anthem of Li Guo's kingdom!

The young Western couple thought that they would be abandoned, but they didn't expect Li Guo to take them in. They know that they don't have the ability, and singing is not the ability!

Therefore, the young Western couple knelt down to Li Guo, "I am very grateful to you for taking pity on us and taking us in!" ”

"I didn't take you in because I felt sorry for you."

The young Western couple looked at Li Guo in surprise.

"I'm taking you in." Li Guo looked at the two of them with a smile, "Because of love!" (To be continued......)
