Ansai has undergone earth-shaking changes in less than half a year, and the rest of northern Shaanxi is full of mourning, but not a single person here has starved to death. The two bumper harvests have made Ansai famous, and this barren county will inevitably attract the covetousness of the surrounding eyes while becoming increasingly wealthy.

Wu Wei has been here for a long time, and he has been familiar with it, and he knows a little bit about what these "peasant rebel armies" are, but in fact, aren't they just bandit groups running around? The core of the group is mostly local tyrants. Although there was an element of survival when the army was first raised, it has long since become a carnival to satisfy personal desires. A large number of homeless people who have been coerced have left their homes and have nothing to do but follow the robbers who continue to rob, and the robbers often join the ranks of the robbers to make up for their own losses. Large and small groups of rogue gangs roamed the land of northern Shaanxi, and the places they passed through like locusts were barren. The rich and grained landlords and gentry in the countryside are their best prey, and most of them have been looted, and of course the children's jade silk has been returned to the big and small leaders, and the lower class thieves can just eat and eat.

However, the output of land is limited, and northern Shaanxi itself is a disaster area, and even if large families have one or two accumulations, they are limited. Naturally, there is no need to rob it, and the gold and silver treasures cannot be eaten as food, and it is really not an easy thing to solve the problem of eating tens of thousands of subordinates at every turn. Liukou is not productive, and he doesn't have the ability of Wu Wei, so naturally he can only find new targets, or exchange the stolen "things" for food. During this period of time, the "Rishengchang" sub-colons in various places had private transactions with the Liukou, but this matter was extremely common, and everyone tacitly agreed.

Among the slaves bought from all over the place, Wu Wei found that some of them were obviously not ordinary peasants before, they were good-looking, and they could read and write. When he asked, he learned that most of them were Qingke scholars from large families, but they couldn't pick their shoulders or lift their hands, and they were not qualified to be rogues, only a good skin and some money and food in the market.

As for what others buy them for, that's self-evident. Wu Wei discovered that in this era, the male style was very strong, and the tolerance of homosexuality in society was much higher than in the 21st century. It is not known whether these people were subjected to any devastation among the thieves.

However, Wu Wei, as a pure master, hated this thing, and Nima was disgusted to think about it. He tactfully told these people that no one here was interested in their chrysanthemums, and according to their specialties, let them do some work in managing accounts and calculating money and grain, and some of them were particularly good and had the opportunity to be sent to various places to work under the "Rishengchang" branch, and they became senior white-collar workers in one fell swoop. These "handsome servants" were born in this life, so they were spared the pain of being played with, and they were all grateful to Wu Wei.

As for the maids, Wu Wei also found that many of them were captured by thieves, and some of them were even the daughters of the squire's family before, and their appearance was quite standard, but the family was ruined and reduced to this, which also made people sigh. They are all their own slaves now, and life and death are up to their own will, and it is not a problem to get at least a few particularly good concubines to stack quilts and warm the bed, which is really normal in the eyes of others. But Wu Wei, as a modern person who has only crossed for less than half a year, can't pass his own level, these women are pitiful enough if their families are ruined, what is the difference between bullying them and rogues?

In order to imitate the practice of later generations, Wu formed these outstanding-looking women into a troupe of art troupes, and invited them to teach them to learn singing and dancing instruments, and performed programs for the officers and soldiers during their breaks. This seems nothing to him, but in this era, it is a shocking thing, and ordinary people may not be able to see the daughter of a large family in their lives. Most of these women used to be beautiful women, at least they were maids and maids in the inner house, and they were very shy at first to show their heads in front of these many men. But after all, they have suffered at the hands of thieves for many days, and those who can survive have already polished their original arrogant temper, and they no longer dare to have any hope for their own fate. What's more, now it's just performing singing and dancing in public, which is much better than being sold into ** to pick up customers, and seeing that the military discipline of the officers and soldiers of the Ansai battalion is excellent, I slowly put my mind at ease.

What Wu Wei did not expect was that this move was very popular with the officers and soldiers and their families, and every time they performed, there were crowds of people, some stood on stools to watch, some climbed trees to watch, and some came late and were born short, scratching their ears and cheeks, and they only wanted to have wings. Wu Wei simply introduced the VIP seating system, provided tables, chairs and benches, and sold performance tickets according to the distance from the stage. Those who are willing to spend more money can also offer tea, melon seeds, peanuts and the like, which is like the pattern of the theater in later generations. As for those who don't want to spend money, you can also watch it for free, but the location is more remote and there are no seats.

The people usually get a lot of salary and silver, but there are not many places to spend on weekdays, this performance is quite exciting, and you can enjoy VIP treatment by spending money to buy tickets, which is undoubted. Although the ticket price is not expensive, it cannot afford to buy many people, and the income is also very expensive. Of course, Wu Wei will not be greedy for this little money, and it will be retained by the girls of the art troupe. Originally, it costs money to issue bonuses and add props, right? The girls never expected this treatment, and they were all surprised and delighted.

Wu Wei also encouraged officers and men who had a skill to perform on stage, and all of a sudden, those who performed chest smashing boulders and all kinds of marksmanship and stick skills came to the stage one after another. In Wu Wei's opinion, these are all bad street tricks, but the audience below is extremely greedy, and they are only fascinated by it, and the applause is shocking. This also made him shake his head, and secretly slandered the aesthetic taste of these people, it seems that there are no TV movies in this era, and everyone still has no knowledge.

Among the many programs, Qin Yan is the most popular, but it is limited to the girls' own conditions, and they can only perform some romance dramas, such as what Mandarin Duck Quilt, Crying Great Wall, White Snake Legend and so on. The officers and soldiers all felt that they couldn't enjoy listening to it, and martial arts dramas such as Dong Zhuo, Jiuyang, and Bayi Tu were the most popular, and they were all impassioned singing passages by the Northwest Han. However, among the officers and soldiers, there are many people who volunteer to perform on stage, among which there are many masters of the Qin dialect, and a few of them have particularly clear and high-pitched voices, which are comparable to the later generations of He Yutang, the singer king of northern Shaanxi!

Wu Wei inquired privately, it turned out that people used to herd sheep, and they loved to sing when they had nothing to do, and they couldn't help but feel that this Nima is the real original folk art, and that's how Xintianyou came to be in northern Shaanxi, right? If this is recorded and put on the modern Internet, any good voice of China will be weak!
