"This seems to be the official uniform worn by the head of the musicians in the club during the Qing Dynasty..."

However, Yuebai didn't feel strange about this, only to see him frown and ask the fat man, do you know the six major departments of the Manchu Dynasty?

"You know, isn't it just a soldier's ceremony!"

The fat man nodded and replied, "But what is this club, you just said that it manages musicians, and this club won't be the department that manages music!" ”

"Pretty much, but you're not talking about it enough!"

Yuebai snorted and immediately explained.

Yuebai said that as far as he knew, at the time of the Manchu Dynasty, the so-called soldiers, criminals, workers, officials, households, and rites were only the six most top-notch and most important departments in the Qing Dynasty at that time, but in addition to these six major ministries, there were other less important small departments in a country.

For example, the orchestra is a department that manages the music that plays for the royal family, and also manages the royal musicians.

And the supreme officer of this club is also the first head of the club department, who is wearing a special official uniform like a stone statue.

In other words, Yuebai just wanted to tell the fat man that the reason why the stone statue in front of them was decorated with clothes that were different from ordinary official uniforms was because the prototype of this stone statue might be a certain generation of club directors during the Manchu Dynasty!

Moreover, Yuebai also told the fat man, don't look at the title of club boss, it sounds very bluffing and majestic, but the real power in the hands of this official rank is not very big.

It seems that in Yuebai's mind, the power in the hands of this special club boss is at most to manage some of his musicians, and Yuebai guessed that I am afraid that the power of an ordinary squire outside the palace and in the capital at that time is much better than that of this music minister.

After all, the squires of that period were all wealthy people, and maybe some of the squires were still in the background of some officials, or people who were connected with the official family.

Although the boss of this club is also an official title of the state, but to be honest, this official title is really not as powerful as a nine-grade sesame official.

"Since you have no real power and don't show your face, why is anyone willing to be this music official?"

The fat man was originally quite interested in the club manager, but after listening to Yuebai's words, the former immediately lost much curiosity about this official title in ancient times.

"Uh... In fact, it cannot be said that there is no real power at all..."

Yuebai pondered for a while, and then explained: "I can only say that the position in which the real power is used is different, for example, I am the head of the music department in ancient times, and you are a common person who is good at playing musical instruments, if you want to play for the royal family, or want to use music to get ahead, then with me, the music director, to help you, you want to play for the emperor at that time, or you want to use music to make money, it is quite easy." ”

Speaking of this, Yuebai paused and continued: "There is another point, that is, no matter what the real power of the director of this club is, anyway, in the era at that time, everyone under this department ate imperial grain, and the fact that he could eat imperial grain alone was enough for the people of the whole country to look up to." ”

"But even if you eat imperial grain, you don't need to let someone from a village incense him for hundreds of years!"

The fat man remembered something, and said: "This musician must have done something great to save the township, otherwise, a person who has been conducting music for the royal family all the year round will never be commemorated by the people of the village erecting a stone statue for no reason." ”

"I don't know much about this, I can only be sure that the shape of this stone statue is based on the Qing Dynasty's music officials, and I don't know what the prototype owner of the stone statue did and why the stone statue was erected..."

Halfway through the words, Yuebai looked at the girl at the front desk who was accompanying her, and said, "Beauty, didn't you say that there is any story, where is it?" Let's see if we all understand! ”

"Oh, I asked the village chief, and the village chief said that the story was written under the stone statue, and he could see it at a glance!"

"Down down?"

When Yuebai heard this, he looked at the foot of the stone statue, and then, he let out a sigh, pointed to the stepping stone platform at the foot of the stone statue and instructed the fat man: "There, there is a stone grid under the stone platform, fat man, you go to the stone grid and turn over it!" ”

The lattice was a hollow in a stone like a drawer, but on the side, blocked by the bricks, and when the fat man had gone to open the bricks, he immediately pulled out the only very tattered and dirty pamphlet out of it!

"Huh? This is not like the classical collection that has survived from ancient times to the present, Xiaobai, look at it! ”

As he spoke, the fat man patted the booklet in his hand, flipped through two pages casually, and saw that he couldn't understand the contents, so he handed it to Yuebai.

That booklet really doesn't look like an ancient book with a sense of age, it seems that this booklet is a kind of thin book similar to the martial arts cheats that often appear in movies, but the upper and lower covers of this book are not brown paper, but a very uniform blue cover smeared with blue ink.

Moreover, the booklet itself is very complete, it has not been damaged by insects and ants, nor has it been damaged by human turning, as if the paper of the booklet itself has no missing pages or damage, except for some indispensable signs of decay and breakage of the binding line.

However, after Yuebai found that there was no text on the surface of the booklet, opened the book cover, and took a look at the contents inside, he heard Yuebai cry out in surprise: "Hey? This is not a story book from the Qing Dynasty, this seems to be a storybook compiled from some stories during the Republic of China! ”

Indeed, Yuebai's discovery was not wrong, because after the pamphlet was opened, a very neat and artificially written pen appeared on the paper with the words on the first page of it, and it seems that from the analogy and clear handwriting of the pen words, the person who wrote this storybook still has very good calligraphy skills.

In addition, on the first page of this booklet, the following sentence was written vertically with a black ink pen: 'The ancient affairs of the people, this book is specially compiled to remember the original civil affairs!' ’

The content of this sentence is self-evident, it is clearly intended to express that the content of this book is a documentary type of story, and coupled with the unique writing style of the Republic of China, it also shows that this book is a private and unique storybook generated during the Republic of China!

"What's in that book? Is it about the war in the Republic of China? ”

"It's not!"

Yuebai shook his head, skipped this page, pointed to the first sentence at the beginning of the text and said: "The story mentioned above was written during the Republic of China, but not during the Republic of China. ’”
