Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Figures danced on the huge white screen, and the audience was fascinated by the plot, watching the clever Baucia and the despicable businessman Sherlock battle their wits and finally win in France.
In the script of this play, Solomon is a Venetian merchant who copied Shakespeare, and only removed some things that have nothing to do with this world, such as the original play emphasizes Shylock's Jewish identity, where the Jew doesn't know anything, but because of the plot, Shylock's identity as a usury merchant must be retained, so as to reflect his usual evil and despicable.
Catherine's acting skills are getting better and better, and she is very successful in portraying the image of a smart rich lady, who is not only rich, but also intelligent, and disguises herself as a man to go to court to save her fiancé's friend Antonio, that is, to lend money to her fiancé Bassanio, so that she has the opportunity to marry Baussy's benefactor.
Bassanio borrowed money from his friend Antonio in order to marry Baucia, and at that time Antonio put the money in business, in order not to disappoint his friend, he borrowed money from the loan shark Shylock to Bassanio, and also made a strange agreement, the loan shark rarely asked for interest, but if Antonio defaulted on the repayment, Shylock would have the right to cut off a pound of flesh from Antonio.
As a result, Antonio's business problems and he can't pay back the money when it expires, so Sherlock insists on cutting off a pound of his flesh.
Baucia and her maid pretend to be lawyers and assistants to argue for Antonio, preventing Shylock's plan from happening.
Baucia agrees with Shylock to cut off a pound of Antonio's flesh according to the contract, but the cutting of this pound of flesh must be carried out strictly in accordance with the contract, that is, no more or less cut, not a drop of blood, and no harm to Antonio's life.
Sherlock couldn't do it and had to throw in the towel.
This film may have aroused people's yearning for justice, righteousness, and truth, the hatred of evil and greed, and the hatred of usury.
When Sherlock insisted on a pound of Antonio's flesh, perhaps even costing Antonio his life, someone in the audience couldn't help but exclaim, "That's how evil they are!"
It is a kind of self-feeling, and there are many people who have been aroused by righteous indignation, some of whom have been persecuted by usury, others who have been influenced by people close to them or relatives.
When the money is not paid, the loan shark will use some extraordinary means to persecute people, leaving a deep impression on people.
Even some nobles are not immune, although the usury merchants dare not openly kill or sell the nobles who cannot pay the money, but there are some personal threats, and the most common means is to make public that they do not pay their debts, and destroy their reputation to force them to do something they do not want to do, and some shady transactions are done in this way.
When the film finally ends and people are about to leave the theater, suddenly a stern voice comes from the amplification magic array.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Regina, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer of the Kingdom, and I have something to say to you, so please stop and let me finish. ”
The people who were about to leave were stunned by this accident, and they just came to watch a shadow animation, and there was a speech by the Kingdom Chancellor of the Exchequer on the spot?
What's going on?
It's fake, right?
But before doubts could arise, Regina's voice rang out again, blocking out everyone's doubts like thunder.
"For a long time, the people of the kingdom have devoted infinite loyalty and hard labor to His Majesty and this country, and His Majesty is proud to have people like you. ”
"It is well known that Asturias is fighting demons in the Otherworld in defense of faith and honor, and that the lands that have been defiled by demons are sacred and white again. ”
"Those places are being turned back into fertile land and paradise, but honor and power should be given to every citizen of the kingdom, and every citizen of the kingdom should have the right to walk freely under the light of the gods. ”
"So, our Venerable Majesty has made a stern decision, and this decision is just like the Shadow Animation. His Majesty wanted me to spread his edict to every corner of the kingdom as quickly as possible, so I thought there could be no better way to announce it to the public than here. I solemnly announce that His Majesty Edward has decided that, with immediate effect, any merchant or individual may apply for and register in the name of a company with the newly established Department of Commerce of the Financial Services Department, and shall be entitled to go to the plane of Eugudal and Farusion for adventure, warfare or commercial activities, subject to the requirements. ”
Reginer's words were like a thunderclap that silenced the entire theater, followed by a boil.
Voices filled the ground floor of the theater, and people were looking for Regina's voice, but by this time, Regina had already left with Philip and the others, accompanied by Solomon.
Regina's sudden announcement surprised Solomon very much, and he didn't expect that Regina's old-fashioned would choose to announce it in the theater, maybe that's why he agreed to accept Solomon's invitation to come to watch the movie, he didn't come to see the Shadow animation at all.
Solomon was still a little puzzled, although this was his suggestion to Edward, and it was better to get a sensational announcement, because it would be easier for people to believe and be willing to participate.
But to come up with such a trick of Regina, isn't it still a bit too much.
Of course, he didn't understand that Reginer's purpose was that Edward's next storm was far bigger than that.
So at the beginning, Edward was simply high-profile, but he first threw out some of Solomon's constructions, which could benefit people outside the nobility and increase Edward's supporters.
When Edward later became "crazy" enough to break with the Church, this support came into play a role, after all, the Church of Light was also the most popular religion in Asturias.
Edward also only dared to declare the wrongdoing of the people of the church, and then confiscate the property of the people, and did not dare to declare the Church of Light itself evil.
The official announcement, of course, Regina will be stamped with Wang Xi's edict, but he said the news in the theater a little in advance, because the people in the theater will spread more quickly, and the people who come to watch the movie in the theater are from citizens, merchants to small nobles, which is more in line with the scope of this edict.
If he simply wanted to limit the expansion of the aristocratic circle, Regina didn't have to do it, what he wanted was the speed of this sensation and spread.
The effect was indeed as Reginer wanted, and the moviegoers quickly spread the news after hearing it.
There were even people who didn't come to watch the Shadow animation and made a special trip to watch it, and by the way, they confirmed the reliability of the news to the people in the theater, which made the Hayden Theater increase the number of moviegoers in vain.
And this news also had a certain impact on the other two theaters, but the impact was the opposite, if this incident only increased the audience of the Hayden Theater here, it was an unexpected negative impact on the two theaters, and the audience decreased.
The aristocrats, who used to like to flaunt their status and status, and regarded watching the theater as a kind of symbol, are now uninterested in watching it, and they are actively inquiring about the authenticity of this event.
The nobles were concerned about this matter, and they were divided into two categories, one was those who were previously qualified to participate in the plane conquest, and thus enjoyed the privileges of plane trade by the way, including some noble families and the merchants who cooperated with them, such as the leaders who controlled the merchant guild.
The other group is also nobles, but they don't have the opportunity to participate in the plane battle, or they don't have the same chance as the nobles in the first class, and now that Edward has announced that everyone has a chance, these people naturally want to inquire clearly.
Soon after Regina's return, he issued an official decree announcing the establishment of a commercial bureau to be responsible for the registration of the company.
Merchants or nobles, or even commoners can theoretically go, of course, provided that they meet the requirements, and this requirement does not mention whether they can withstand the danger of teleportation, but only other requirements.
First to register, anyone must register as a "company", the company can be an individual, can also be with people, this is the study of Solomon's company, according to the book of Solomon to build yì mentioned that the advantage of this is that if there is a place where the situation is complicated, all parties can unite to form a company to jointly safeguard interests, and then within the framework of the company, in the form of shares to share interests and decision-making power.
Of course, registration had to be done with very detailed information, and Solomon emphasized to Edward and Regina that this could prepare for taxes.
In addition to registration, there must also be funds, and there is a way to prove to the kingdom that their assets are in a certain amount, and the current tentative statement is that the company's assets must be more than one hundred Eagle Gold Coins, so theoretically, although civilians have a chance, the threshold of money alone actually blocks many people out.
Of course, according to the edict, the company can have more than one person, so theoretically, if it is united, the common people also have the opportunity to raise enough funds to meet the threshold.
Registration details and proof of funds, together are referred to as "registration".
It is worth mentioning that Regina helped Solomon for free, because the edict clearly recognized the certificate of deposit at Franklin Bank, which would be recognized by the Bureau of Commerce as a valid proof of property.
Of course, the content of the edict is more than that, in short, as soon as this edict came out, it immediately became the focus, of course, more people do not know that this is only the beginning of the storm.
By contrast, Mr. Hayden's theater controversy has been almost forgotten, but with Reginer's presence at the theater, Hayden's theater is unlikely to be visibly suppressed in St. Quentin again.
Although the two theaters are also powerful nobles, their status is still inferior to Regina, and there is Edward behind Regina, and the two behind-the-scenes riches can only be regarded as second-rate aristocratic families, and the Spencer family is inferior to Ongli's.
It was so coincidental that Regina made such a voice in Mr. Hayden's theater, and it was impossible for the two families not to wonder if Hayden had a relationship with Regina, as long as they had such scruples, they would be much more restrained in their means in the future, and they could only compete with their own real abilities.
