Li Guo sent people to brainwash the peasants in a meeting, which had a great effect, but it was still very boring, so Li Guo wanted to let the peasants watch the play.

Opera has existed in Shanxi since ancient times, and it has endured for a long time, showing an increasingly fierce trend.

"The mountain and township temple fairs are flowing all day long, and the village and town theaters are still knocking until the evening." This old stage couplet from the western part of the Jin Dynasty reflects the prosperity of Shanxi opera at that time.

Shanxi's opera is called Qin Dialect, and Qin Dialect is a program that is extremely loved by the masses in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and other places.

As early as the Northern Song Dynasty, when the performance venues of Bianjing, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, were still called "Goolan", "Washe" and "Music Shed", Shanxi already had a fixed brick and wood building, and was called "Dance Pavilion", "Dance Building" and "Music Building".

Especially after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, local opera in Shanxi has sprung up and flourished, and the trend of folk singing has flourished. It is recorded that there was a prefect named Wang Sisheng in Shuozhou, and he promulgated one in an attempt to change this fashion. This prohibition says: "Shuo and martial customs, night and day, but the drama is delayed...... And the foolish man and the foolish woman are mixed in the crowd, and they are full of attention, they like to talk and talk, and there is no distinction between monks and laymen, and men and women are confused. The customs are not right, and this is the reason. "The result? Although the official ban is grandiose, the "foolish men and foolish women" of the people "pay attention to it, talk happily" and even "work day and night" is still the same.

At that time, each village and town had a village community of different sizes, and the village community was actually a kind of singing group organized by the people, and the so-called social opera was exactly like this. Of course, we have to sing opera during the New Year's Festival, we also have to sing opera to welcome the gods, we have to sing opera to worship our ancestors in the ancestral hall, we have to sing opera to pray for rain during drought, and we have to sing opera to eliminate disasters and avoid diseases, and to have children in old age.

Anyway, as soon as the mule in the camel box entered the village, the whole village became lively.

The peasants, who were bullied by the landlords and bullies every day, suffered humiliation during the day, but at night they heard the sound of bangs, and immediately came to their senses. This is because at that time, the countryside was poor, the transportation was blocked, and the spiritual and cultural life was very poor. Opera is their only cultural entertainment and their only spiritual sustenance, and watching opera has also become their only social place. On the stage, they sang their hatred of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, their yearning for a better future, and their desire and pursuit of ideals and love.

Therefore, if you want to change the thinking of the peasants more firmly, opera is also a good way.

Singing, Li Guo doesn't know anything. Therefore, when he was still in the old camp, Li Guo found Sun Dengke and asked Sun Dengke to organize a troupe.

Sun Dengke was stunned for a moment, and then rejoiced. It seems that Li Guo also likes to watch dramas, Sun Dengke secretly thought, maybe the tiger master Li Guo is bored.

"Master Tiger, if you want to talk about the play, I still know a little bit about it. I think you've been in a panic lately, it's okay, I'll set up the troupe immediately. When the time comes, I'll let them sing you eighteen touches! That minor tune, the singing person's heart is very itchy! Sun Dengke even said with a gesture.

"Get out of the way." Li Guozhao is a kick to Sun Dengke's ass. "Be sad!"

"It's good for Meng Jiangnu to cry on the Great Wall." Sun Dengke didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"No way!" Li Guo shook his head, although Li Guo didn't understand the drama, but he still knew a little about the movies that reflected the old society such as the white-haired girl and Yang Bailao, so he carefully explained his meaning to Sun Dengke, "Dengke, this is a big thing, don't underestimate it, don't think that propaganda is a small thing, good publicity will be of great benefit to our development." ”

"Master Tiger, I understand!" Sun Dengke began to nod.

So, Sun Dengke began to seriously set up a drama team. After the continuous revision of the repertoire paragraphs, Li Guo was finally satisfied.

Therefore, when the peasants who had divided the land and were happy in their hearts heard that there was a play to watch, they immediately went to the stage in high spirits. They don't know that today's play doesn't bring them laughter.

The play is choreographed narratively, and as the storyline progresses, the stage props change settings.

The play is about a poor young man who falls in love with a girl from a poor family in the village. The two of you are sweet to me, and you are sweet to me. Engaged in the object's business, the people in the audience were in a comfortable mood and greatly relaxed.

Then, with the change of background, it was sung until the two of them achieved positive results, and with the blessing of many relatives and friends, they finally got married. At this time, there were bursts of applause from the audience. This is because the people in Shanxi are open, and the people are not very opposed to such things.

Then, the lights on the stage became brighter, the two had children, and the music became cheerful. Everyone in the audience was even more relaxed.

But the tune is then poignant, about a great drought, the court does not provide relief, and the family of three is hungry and weak. When she dressed as a woman and sang the horn of Xiao Dan, she sang in a weak voice, 'When you eat wild vegetables every day, and make porridge with tree bark every day.' The hearts of the people in the audience were tight, weren't they singing me?

Suddenly, Sizhu was miserable, and a landlord bully accidentally saw the woman in the family, so he led the family to rob the woman. But when he saw the man resisting, he was brutally beaten by his family, and during the dispute, the man died with a broken head and bleeding. And Na Danjiao sang well, and sang in a high-pitched and miserable voice, "I hate that there is no heaven in this world, and it is so difficult to live, it is better to die now and come to the king of Hades to argue." After singing, he jumped into the well and died. At this time, Zhao Dagou and Xiaogou in the audience cried unconsciously, and the rest of the people were also infected, and their eyes were red.

At this time, one of the child soldiers, who played the role of a child, had a high-pitched voice and shouted to the sky in a Qin dialect, 'Heaven! The people's lives are like mustard, give us a way to live. So Zhao Dagou and the little dog howled and cried, and everyone couldn't hold it anymore and cried.

Although Sun Dengke and Li Guo have watched this drama, the atmosphere at the scene is infectious, and they cry unconsciously. Nie Xin, Zhao Youbin and Qian Duo have been displaced for many years, Quan Zhihuan and Jiang Chang deeply feel that they were guilty before, Li Twelve and others do not need to say, in short, the theater is in an uproar, and there is a cry.

As the red sun rose, a group of soldiers embroidered with the word "tiger" on their chests walked to the center of the stage. They sang in unison, 'The tiger from the sky is uneven, fights the local tyrants, divides the fields, he is the great savior of the people!'" ・・・' and then sang 'To live, to protect the land, follow the tiger master to be a soldier, and not be poor for generations!' ・・・’

The sound of drums is exciting.

Zhao Dagou couldn't help himself, stood up violently, pulled the puppy, rushed to Li Guo's side, and knelt down with a plop, "Master Tiger, without you, I can't even live as a dog." It is you who have avenged us, and the lives of our father and son will be yours from now on! We two followed you as soldiers, Tiger Master, please accept us! ”

Li Guo wiped his eyes and said to Zhao Dagou, "Okay, then I will accept you on a special basis, you must know that my Tiger Master recruits people from the people of the land protection group." As for the puppy, I'll let him be a child soldier. ”

Zhao Dagou kowtowed gratefully.

All the people were excited and asked to be soldiers, and Li Guo waved his hand, "No!" You can only become a soldier if you first join the Protector Regiment! "It's not that Li Guo doesn't want to recruit more people, he wants to, but he can't recruit more. The reason is still, there is no money!

Li Guo, who has read a lot of time-traveling novels, sadly found that after crossing, the wind will be windy, the rain will be rainy, saying that there is money and there will be money, and that the establishment of an army will be invincible in the world can really only appear in novels.

This is in response to that sentence, the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
