Chapter 102: The cunning Zhu Youzhen
Wang Li's proposal is indeed a reluctant compromise!
However, he has enough confidence to win!
The chanting of the prostitutes in the Qinglou originated from the "opera" of the Yuan Dynasty, but it was different from the opera, and there were special courtesans!
It's a pity that the "songs" of this era are so bad that none of them can be played!
Don't say it's a three-way competition, even if you all join forces, I have the chance to win!
Otherwise, Tianyin Pavilion, which uses live "concerts" as its selling point, will not be famous for Qin Huai!
At present, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have recognized the theory of "version" and "licensing fee"!
"Borrow" a few songs casually by yourself, and you can make money lying down!
Serving as the Commander of the Palm Seal of the Tai Lo Si is as easy as a snap!
It's just that......
Zhu Youzhen agreed to Wang Li's proposal, he was sure to get back the copyrights of dozens of songs, and he was also confident that he would get the taxing right of "Admiral Taile Si", but he couldn't be happy!
Because, Zhu Youzhen, this guy, is really too insidious!
What does he mean by placing "Taile Division" under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites?
More than half of the cabinet assistants, including the cabinet head of the cabinet, are from the Ministry of Rites, doesn't he know?
In the current court, the Donglin Party is silent, and the group of guys in the Ministry of Rites are jumping happily, can't he see it?
Those guys are actually "blocking guns" for Wen Tiren, doesn't he know?
Wrong!
This guy knows for sure!
He did it on purpose!
He deliberately assigned "Tai Le Si" to the Ministry of Rites, because he knew that I had the chance to win!
Deliberately make trouble for me!
Tema's!
The "Palm Seal Admiral" of the Taile Division is actually under the control of the Ministry of Rites!
If you want to do something out of it, it's not so convenient!
Wen Tiren is cunning and cunning!
He's manipulating the group of guys in the Ministry of Rites, and he wants to kill himself!
They won't give themselves the slightest chance!
Also, Zhu Youzhen's guy is so poor that he is panicking!
According to the proportion of fish, salt and mining taxes, his "royalties" can be extracted by 20 percent!
Nima!
A song charges a "licensing fee" of 10,000 taels, and this guy will take 2,000!
Do you want to let people live?
Your heart is too ruthless!
I've worked hard to "borrow" a few songs, am I easy?
Hum!
He really dares to smoke so much, I will "close the door and let Wei Zhongxian go"!
If you dare to cut off my financial route, I will take the entire ritual department in one pot!
Hum!
Don't push me!
……
"Nope! I put the "Taile Division" under the Ministry of Rites, which is just a trick! ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled slyly, and said lightly: "Officials in the DPRK and China, no one believes me, no one is at ease!"
My newly established "Taile Division" is actually "Taile Supervisor"!
Only by holding the "taxing power" firmly in my own hands can I sit back and relax! ”
mentioned "Taile Prison" Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun pondered for a while, and soon came to their senses!
The current dispute over "copyright" has become a dispute over the "Governor of the Seal of the Taile Division", and its essence is a dispute over the "right to tax"!
Taichang Temple, Jiaofang Division, and Bell and Drum Division unite to compete with the ministers and Wang Ergou for the "copyright", which is the best way to resolve differences!
Wang Ergou and the ministers have no objection to this move!
However, they overlooked one thing:
Taichang Temple, the Teaching Workshop Division and the Bell and Drum Division's Fengluan, Ritual and other seven-grade petty officials, all the ministers look down on them!
At this moment, these petty officials are all Zhu Youzhen's cronies!
As long as the three divisions win, after the establishment of the new Taile Division, the "Taile Division Palm Seal Admiral" will become the "Taile Supervisor Palm Seal Eunuch"!
is directly responsible to Zhu Youzhen, and has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites!
In this way, the "right to tax" is firmly in your hands!
Wang Ergou and the ministers can no longer object!
Merely......
"Long live Lord, this thing is a bit strange!"
Cao Huachun frowned, and said tentatively: "The prince of the West Factory likes to listen to music in the hook column, and everyone knows about it.
But, in the information that the little slave has, he shouldn't know the rhythm!
Those dozens of popular new songs, the provenance is very mysterious! ”
"Oh? You mean, the Eunuch of the Palm Seal of the Tale Celestial ......"
Zhu Youzhen's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore!
The song sung by the prostitutes of Tianyin Pavilion, if it is said that Wang Ergou composed it single-handedly, Zhu Youzhen would rather die than believe it!
If he had said those ministers from the Ministry of Rites, he wouldn't have believed it!
Is there really a variable in what must be obtained?
For Wang Ergou, Zhu Youzhen has long been suspicious!
In the commercial ports of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, dozens of big ships sail out to sea every day, and the trade is unprecedented!
However, why is the monthly tariff only more than 10,000 taels?
What is infuriating is that Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian, Fang Zhenghua, Zhang Yixian and Du Xun and other cronies have gone to the port many times to "visit and investigate", but they have not found the slightest bit of corruption!
This guy is either really honest and honest, or, he just does a trick!
Therefore, the "copyright" and "taxing right" of those songs must not fall into the hands of Wang Ergou!
Zhu Youzhen was still pondering, and Cao Huachun continued: "Long live Lord, what's even stranger is that those dozens of songs are indeed the first to be sung by Tianyin Pavilion!"
If the prince really knows how to write songs, I am afraid there will be no suspense about the attribution of "Taile Si Palm Seal Admiral"!
Also, if he is not sure of victory, he will not take the initiative to bring up the matter! ”
"Well, that's true!"
Zhu Youzhen nodded, a little difficult!
By composing a new song to determine the ownership of the "copyright", he has opened the Chrysostom and obtained the unanimous consent of the courtiers!
If it changes suddenly, it's really not appropriate!
What to do?
Zhu Youzhen was embarrassed, but Cao Huachun was confident and leaned into his ear:
"Long live the lord, the songs sung by the prostitutes of Tianyin Pavilion are mostly lyrical, and the tunes are tactful and melodious, which is very different from the elegant music in the palace and the folk music in the market;
Regardless of where these songs come from, the little slave can be sure that the prince does not understand music!
Moreover, Aunt Liu Ruyan of Lingji Palace, as well as several other maids, don't understand music either! ”
Recalling Cao Huachun's words, Zhu Youzhen's face was overjoyed: "He may be good at writing songs, but he may not be good at composing music!"
You guys, go to the various checkboxes of the Jingshi immediately!
Think of a way, you must not let him borrow a cabaret!
Then, I have my own way! ”
……
The singing lyrics of the courtesans at the end of the Ming Dynasty originated from the "scattered songs" in the "Yuan song", but they were slightly different.
Traditional sanqu is more strict than poetry in the use of words, and pays special attention to the level of each last sentence;
In terms of confrontation, the requirements of the song are relatively free, and it can be relative to the sound of the voice and the sound of the voice.
However, in the green houses in various places, prostitutes often add "lining" to their lyrics, completely breaking away from the word limit of the "word rule".
In Tianyin Pavilion, the dozens of songs that shocked Qin Huai are all things that are more than 300 years later - because of the change in the pronunciation of some words, their battles are more "bold" and more "down-to-earth".
Wang Li doesn't understand "rhythm", but he understands "music" - he can't compose a new song, but he can hear the "out of tune" part of the tune.
When he copied dozens of songs, he relied on his memory and feelings, randomly adding different instruments to make the soundtrack rich and full.
The most important thing is that most of the dozens of songs in Tianyin Pavilion are "love songs", and their lyrics are even bolder!
No one dares to be so bold in this era!
I'm afraid that except for the courtesans of the Qinglou, no one dares to sing those songs!
The talented man of the family who is accustomed to listening to ordinary loose songs, suddenly heard the lyrics of "The little sister is like a thread and a needle, and she is not separated when she wears it together", and she suddenly felt refreshed and addicted, and couldn't help but linger in it.
If he wants to "write" such a song again, Wang Li can move dozens or hundreds of songs in just one night!
Hold the cards in one hand!
However, Zhu Youzhen's holy decree is......
“…… In today's Ming Dynasty, there are slaves on the outside and grass on the inside;
The severe drought in the north continued, and the people were displaced and miserable;
The southern warbler sings and dances, and the son lingers on the hook column, throwing thousands of dollars;
The great sages of the Tang Dynasty have poems: the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river;
When I recall this poem, I am very worried.
Today, we have specially summoned the officials of the Taichang Temple, the Department of Teaching, the Department of Bells and Drums, the West Factory, and the Ministry of Rites, as well as folk courtesans and musicians, to gather together to compose the sound of strengthening the prestige of our country, in order to inspire our whole army and encourage our people......"
Seeing the holy decree, Wang Li was a little depressed!
In this era, the people who sing in the Qinglou are all prostitutes!
Their singing and melodies are melodious, peaceful and soothing!
The singing of the men in the market is either "Guan Guan Ju Dove" or "In the River Island", how can we talk about "the voice of our country's prestige"?
Well, that's not a problem!
In Wang Li's "Song Library", the type that Zhu Youzhen wants is not nothing!
Or, change "The Great Wall Never Falls" a little?
Or, directly copy "Man Jianghong" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?
Or, give him a "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"?
The time given by Zhu Youzhen is half a month!
If there is a prostitute like Zhao Qian, he only needs to hum it a few times, and the horse can "flip" out of the score!
Then, with the accompaniment of different instruments and a male vocalist with a strong voice, it will be done in two days at most!
The problem now is that Zhao Qian and her "team of musicians" are in Nanjing!
It is 2,400 miles away from Beijing!
Even if they travel in the starry night, they won't be able to catch up with the Jingshi!
That's it, that's it!
There are many prostitutes like Zhao Qian, there are many Jingshi!
Go to the Qinglou and buy a few prostitutes at random, and put together a band temporarily, and it's only a matter of tens of thousands of taels of silver!
As long as you get the "copyright" and "taxing right", this small investment is just a drizzle!
However, Wang Li miscalculated again!
Zhu Youzhen is both a "referee" and an "athlete", Wang Li endures it!
Unexpectedly, the ministers were even crazier than him!
In order to obtain "copyright" and "taxing rights", these guys are also fighting!
The courtesans and music prostitutes of the various Qinglou in Jingshi were all requisitioned by them!
They almost have the idea that if they can't get the copyright, they don't want to get it!
Therefore, it is not Cao Huachun's turn to make a move at all!
Time waits for no one!
It took three days, and the Jinyi Wei of the West Factory ran all over Fangshan, Liangxiang, Changping, Shunyi, Tongzhou and other places around Beijing, but still did not find a musician!
It was only at this time that Wang Li realized the seriousness of the situation!
"You don't have to guess to know that the prostitutes we can find should all be "requisitioned"!
Even if they can be found, there is no guarantee that they will not be in the way!
The safest way is to take back the courtesans and music prostitutes of Tianyin Pavilion!
Song Zhe, quickly send five "hundred households" to Nanjing!
Immediately! Right away! ”
Song Zhe didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly sent people, but he was still not at ease!
"Factory Gong, if it is an emergency military order, if there are post stations along the way to change people and horses, the messenger can travel three hundred miles a day!
However, the distance between Beijing and the southern capital is 2,400 miles!
Even if it is a messenger who goes day and night, it will take sixteen days!
But now, we only have 12 days left!
If you want to pick up our music prostitutes and courtesans, you really don't have enough time! ”
"No, the people and horses I sent to Nandu are just "Ming Xiu Plank Road";
Send someone to Shanxi quickly! ”
Wang Li smiled indifferently, his eyes were like torches: "No matter who is in the way, they don't dare to go to Shaanxi and Shanxi!"
As long as the speed is fast enough, you will be able to recruit a group of courtesans and courtesans!
The position of Admiral of Tailesi, I am decided!
Whoever dares to rob me, don't blame me for being welcome! ”
