In the main hall, all kinds of arguments and abuses, Zhu Youzhen has long been accustomed to it.

However, arguments are arguments, and abuse is abuse, most of them are on the facts, and they will not involve other people's family affairs!

Perhaps because there was too much discussion on "state affairs", Wang Li asked about Cheng Ji's "concubine", and all the ministers were curious and stared at the two with interest.

Since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, there have been four cabinet chiefs in three years;

Cheng Jiming, who had just taken over, was already a little trembling, for fear of being caught;

When asked about taking a concubine, he was naturally nervous, and he was even more confused.

I'll go!

This king two dogs!

As soon as he returned to Beijing, he knew about his concubine?

Could it be that he has been staring at himself all the time?

His main room died of illness, although he had a concubine, he didn't "take a concubine as a wife", it's not black material, right?

This concubine is from the Jade Pavilion of Jingshi, and it should be ...... No problem, right?

Three thousand taels of silver to take a concubine, although it is half bought and half given by someone, it is not a big deal, right?

After all, there is a written note to prove it!

It's just that this guy stared at me but didn't speak, what the hell did he want to do?

Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, Cheng Jiming was the first to lose his breath: "Factory father, what do you want to ask?"

It's a bit inappropriate for you to mention the official's family affairs in the main hall, right? ”

"Uh...... It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking! Wang Li responded with a hippie smile, and suddenly the conversation changed:

"Lord Shoufu, take this little concubine of yours ...... Lent to the factory to warm the bed, I don't know ...... Is it convenient? ”

"Wang Ergou! Don't deceive people too much! Emperor...... The emperor ......" Cheng Ji's heart was so anxious that he almost couldn't breathe.

What man can not be angry with such unreasonable demands?

was about to plead his case to Zhu Youzhen, but Wang Li stepped forward, holding Cheng Ji's hand tightly, with a smile on his face.

"Shousuke-sama, don't worry, don't worry! Listen to me! ”

Wang Li smiled, and it was the harmless face of humans and animals:

"Actually, your new concubine Miao Cuiping, he is proficient in music, has a mellow singing voice, and looks like a fairy!

I wanted to help him redeem himself for a long time, but unfortunately, you took the lead!

On the way back to Beijing, I thought about it: as long as Lord Shoufu is willing to cut his love, I am willing to give 30,000 taels of silver as a reward! ”

"Three...... Thirty thousand taels? ”

Cheng Jiming's eyes widened, and the anger in his heart instantly dissipated.

According to the current market, Miao Cuiping's kind of "singing and dancing three unique" prostitutes are worth about 10,000 taels.

I ransomed her with three thousand taels, naturally because of the identity of the "first assistant of the cabinet"!

That's not the point!

The point is, Wang Ergou is willing to pay 30,000 taels?

He didn't lie to me?

That's right!

His Tianyin Pavilion is already popular all over the Qinhuai River!

Tianyin Pavilion's "concert", the twelfth day of the twelve, day and night!

Each time, there are 100 people entering, and the ticket for each person is 2,000 taels!

I'll go!

At the end of the day, how much silver does he have to earn?

This guy is pretty good at business!

Miao Cuiping is indeed a "song and dance" three-hundred-year-old, but in her own house, she is just an ordinary concubine!

If it was sold to Wang Ergou, wouldn't it have multiplied tenfold!

Earn more than 20,000 taels in half a month, which is cost-effective!

Wait! Wait!

If...... Miao Cuiping went to Tianyin Pavilion, how much would her worth rise?

I'm afraid, it won't be less than 50,000 taels, right?

This guy is really good at business!

"No way!"

Cheng Jiming shook off Wang Li's hand and shook his head: "Miao Cuiping is the official's favorite concubine, and it must be added to 50,000 taels!" ”

"Shousuke-sama, I don't take you to do this business, do you? You ransom her...... It only seems to cost three thousand taels, right? ”

"O princess, the Jianji Hall is a place to discuss state affairs, how can we discuss our family affairs?

Or...... The matter ...... Let's go back and talk about ......."

"Shousuke-sama, I sincerely want to buy it, I'm in a hurry! Why don't I add another 5,000 taels?

It's decided, what do you think? ”

Speaking of this, Wang Li took out a stack of silver tickets: "Lord Shoufu, this is a deposit of five thousand taels......"

"Good to say, good to say, hehe......"

Cheng Jiming smiled from ear to ear, and was about to reach out to grab it, but Wang Li took back the silver ticket, which made Cheng Jiming puzzled.

"Factory, what are you doing here? Didn't we say okay? ”

"Lord Shoufu, don't worry, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

Wang Li smiled, arched his hand to the ministers, and raised his voice: "Everyone saw what happened just now!"

Lord Shoufu took Miao Cuiping as a concubine for 3,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to him having Miao Cuiping's "copyright";

At this point, Miao Cuiping can only warm the bed for Lord Shoufu;

Of course, if Shousuke-sama is generous, he can also give you a warm bed;

Whether it's free or three or five hundred taels of silver, it's up to Lord Shoufu to decide;

Presumably, you have all seen this kind of thing!

This is the "copyright" and "authorization" that Shousuke-sama owns to all of you!

Ladies and gentlemen, there should be no objections, right?

Do you understand?

If I buy Miao Cuiping for 55,000 taels of silver, it is equivalent to buying out the "copyright" of Lord Shoufu;

At this point, the "copyright" of Miao Cuiping owned by him has been transferred to me!

After that, Miao Cuiping could only warm my bed!

That's not hard to understand, right?

Makes sense, right?

There's a law to follow, right?

In other words, the songs written by the factory and composed by myself are like my concubines!

If other hooks want to sing the songs I wrote, it's like taking my concubine to warm the bed!

Can I agree?

Forcibly took away my concubine, should this person be beaten?

Of course, I received a certain amount of silver and "authorized" my concubine to warm someone's bed, and that's okay, right?

Is there any problem with the songs written by the factory himself, and only allowed to be sung by the "authorized" hook column?

Makes sense, right?

There's a law to follow, right?

If anyone still has any dissenting intentions, the factory will go to his house and bring his concubine to warm the bed! ”

As soon as these words came out, the temple immediately exploded!

There are those who support, those who oppose, and those who abuse, and they are red-faced!

Previously, Cheng Ji, who jumped the highest, knew that he was in the middle of the plan, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!

In one breath, I almost didn't catch my breath!

The main hall has become a vegetable market again!

Zhu Youzhen was not in a hurry, he watched all this happily, and gave Wang Li an approving look.

After a long time, the palace finally quieted down, and Qian Xiangkun, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, bowed his hand to the ministers, and then turned to Wang Li and smiled strangely.

"Princess, the matter of taking concubines is based on the bride price and evidenced by the deed, and it is indeed reasonable to compare the "copyright" in your mouth!

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, your Tianyin Pavilion was the first to sing those songs, and it was indeed true!

However, you insist that songs such as "Tianya Singer", "Sweet Honey", and "Flowers and Full Moon" were written by you, I don't know what proof there is? ”

I'll go!

Hearing this, Wang Li was dumbfounded!

This guy is a bummer!

I was speechless!

The point is, it also attracted the unanimous support of the ministers!

In the main hall, the eunuchs who were in favor of collecting royalties were all speechless!

I can only look at Wang Li with my eyes!

At this point, Wang Li can only scold his mother!

When teaching Zhao Qian to sing these songs, she did have a manuscript paper for composing music and memorizing lyrics, but after more than half a year, there was no trace of it!

Even if the manuscript paper is found, it is difficult to prove that it was written by Zhao Qian through "handwriting identification"!

Because, her handwriting is beautiful and decent, and it is easy to be imitated!

Even if you can still find the manuscript paper, even if you go to Nanjing to retrieve the manuscript paper, the ministers of the palace can also take out similar manuscript paper!

It's a pity that there is no "carbon-14" detection in this era, and it is impossible to determine that Zhao Qian's manuscript paper is "the earliest book"!

Alas!

A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake!

Wang Li was depressed, but he didn't want to, and the cabinet assistant ministers He Ruzhong took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Wang Gonggong, you like to listen to music, everyone knows about this matter!"

However, you insist that those songs were written by yourself, which is really overbearing and unreasonable!

If you go to other ticks to collect "copyright" royalties, and then smash other people's ticks, it is even more domineering and unreasonable!

Your arrogant and unreasonable behavior is to despise the laws of the Ming Dynasty! ”

When the sound fell, there was a commotion in the palace, and Wu Zongda, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, echoed:

"Father-in-law, if I'm not mistaken, "The Singer of the End of the World" should be written by Qin Yueru, a prostitute who is full of flowers in Beijing!

Just in April last year, when Benguan and Lord Shoufu went to listen to the music, they happened to meet Qin Ji composing music!

Your Tianyin Pavilion first sang "Tianya Singer", it seems to be October last year, right?

Ignorance...... Did the prince pay royalties? ”

After Wu Zongda finished speaking, a group of colleagues immediately understood, and they all said that they had the copyright of songs such as "Night Fragrance", "Sweet Honey", "Flower and Full Moon", "Sauvignon Blanc", "Deep Night" and so on!

They all asked Wang Li to pay the "copyright royalties" immediately!

As expected, these guys were prepared, and they would be able to come up with the manuscript paper for the composition!

Wang Li's mouth, it's hard to say more than a dozen mouths!

Alas!

These guys, what a hooligan!

Black can also be said to be white!

At this time, even Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youzhen were anxious for Wang Li!

But there is no way!

After a long while, the ministers finished arguing for the copyright and waited for Zhu Youzhen's ruling.

At this point, Wang Li finally opened his mouth: "Long live Lord, my lords, there should be no controversy about the rationality and legitimacy of "copyright"!

Now the question is the ownership of "copyright" and who should pay the "copyright royalties", right? ”

All the ministers agreed with this!

Zhu Youzhen thought for a moment and nodded!

The ministers were about to demand the payment of royalties, and Wang Li spoke again: "Long live Lord, the dozens of songs sung by Tianyin Pavilion are indeed composed by the little slave, and the little slave can take out the manuscript paper as a basis!"

However, the ownership of copyright cannot be determined based on manuscript paper alone!

Presumably, the musicians and courtesans you see are all great sages who compose music and lyrics!

In this case, it is better to gather all the prostitutes together, and let the long live Lord be a witness, and the little slave and the prostitutes will compose new songs and songs together!

At that time, the first to compose high-quality tracks will own the copyright of those songs!

Ignorance...... What do you think? ”

Wang Li's proposal, the ministers were naturally not happy!

Because, they have prepared a certain song scratch paper, but they can't compose a new song that is comparable to it!

Under Wang Li's eyes, Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs took the opportunity to jump out, and they all supported Wang Li's suggestion!

In the main hall, it is difficult to distinguish between the red face and the red ears!

At this time, Zhu Youzhen on the dragon chair smiled and said nothing!

Because, he became the biggest winner!

It doesn't matter who owns the copyright of the song!

Importantly, the courtiers approved the terms "copyright" versus "authorization"!

When the copyright owner collects the "license fee", he can also collect a "royalty" from it!

However, it is never a way for the ministers to make trouble like this!

Zhu Youzhen also wants to see how those prostitutes who are proficient in music and rhythm compose a new song!

I also want to hear what is so special about the songs such as "Night Fragrance", "Tianya Singer", "Sweet Honey", "Flowers and Full Moon" and other songs that the ministers are competing for!

"Everyone, don't argue!" Zhu Youzhen looked around at His Royal Highness's ministers, and said: "The sacrificial music, courtly music and banquet pleasure in the palace all originate from Emperor Taizu, and they can be ascended to the hall of elegance!"

Although the folk music in the market is not as good as the palace music, it has a certain superiority and has a unique flavor!

In this case, I will gather the Taijoji Temple, the Kyobo Division, the Bell and Drum Division, and all the courtesans and musicians of all the adults to gather together and compose a new song in public!

Among them, the winner owns the copyright of 32 songs;

I have decided: There will be another "Taile Division" under the Ministry of Rites, which will be in charge of the collection of "royalties" for music in the market!

As for...... Candidate for the Commander of the Palm Seal of Talosi...... For the time being, the winner of the contest will take over! ”
