Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng sat down, and Zhang Ji on the side said, "Jingshuai and Long Tu have just arrived! The people above were anxious. The old man had come out to sue several times and said that the two husbands were not there, how could they start the show?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "We are here, which one of you dares to speak casually? As long as you are happy today, it is better to arrive late than to arrive early."

The officials sitting around laughed together. Zhang Ke also laughed and said, "I heard that the group of people who came here specially wrote a play for the last victory of the Dangxiang of the Jishou. The generals and soldiers sitting below were waiting eagerly."

While he was talking, an old man came out from above, who thought he was the headmaster of the opera singers. He confessed to the surroundings, bowed to Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng who were sitting in the middle, and said, "The young man, Song Qigong, is from the capital, has always recruited people to perform songs, dances and zajus in the tiles, earning money and rice to support his family. A few days ago, people in the capital were rumored that Du Taibao, a young army led his army to defeat the Khitan, and Dangxiang and other foreigners, captured several provinces thousands of miles below Yinshan.

The land was built. A big city and a scenic spot were built here, and the city was the first prefecture. The city was extremely vast and prosperous. The old man, a familiar man, came here to do some business deals and invited the old man to come together. A new shopping mall was built in Yancheng with tiles, which could make a living by selling arts as before. The old man was a soft-eared man. He was moved by the heart of his words, so he bought a few train tickets, took a few artists on the train, and came here..."

Bao Zheng said to Du Zhongxiao: "The legend of the city in the capital is much more lively than the war here."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The legend of the city is of course the more bizarre, the better. It's like a dragon picture, and you can talk little and talk alone. What's the fun of spreading it?"

Bao Zheng shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "I have managed tens of thousands of troops and horses, defeated strong enemies in a row, and expanded the land for thousands of miles, and naturally the market is spread. I have become an official, and although I can't say that I have accomplished nothing, there is nothing strange about it. What can attract the people in the market?"

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said nothing. The real history is the same, the history in books is the same, and the history circulating among the people is the same. Bao Zheng is a very boring person, but he can't resist it widely. Who in later generations doesn't know "Bao Longtu is the seat of Kaifeng Prefecture"? This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly, and there is no rule to follow. For example, now, Du Zhongxiao is the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the transfer of fortune. Who dares to say whether the person in later generations will pass it on word of mouth? His commander of the commander of the transfer of fortune or his commander of the commander of the transfer of fortune?

The old man talked for a long time, and saw that the audience in the audience was a little impatient, and knew that he had said in a hurry. He bowed and stepped down from the stage.

"Here, here!" There were whispers under the stands. It was obvious that they were all waiting for the stage to stage the war in Hezhou a few days ago. In that battle, Du Zhongxiao used 30,000 troops to wipe out 60,000 enemy troops, and defeated Dangxiang's 120,000 troops, and failed to leave the right-wing army. It was the most glorious moment for the soldiers and horses on Hequ Road. Whether they were generals or soldiers, the soldiers who came out of Hequ Road, said that they had defeated Dangxiang's 120,000 troops and beheaded 60,000 troops with 30,000 troops. In fact, not many people died, which would not prevent them from saying that they were all beheaded.

Five people came out of the stage, one of whom was dressed as a Dangxiang man, with a humorous hair and looked funny. Another man dressed up, holding a gun in his hand, and dancing on the stage with the one who was dressed as a Dangxiang man. The rest of them were not sure whether it was a soldier or an audience, and they ran around, and sometimes they would make a few somersaults, which made the audience applause.

Before the official drama begins, there will be a small performance that has nothing to do with the content, which is mostly about the things around the audience that are popular with the audience, and is used to attract the audience's attention. This short play today should be the Hezhou war that the people in the capital want to watch. As for what they are acting, the coach Du Zhongxiao at that time can't understand, and he can't even tell which roles the few people on the stage play. It doesn't matter if they don't understand, know that they are flattering themselves and will clap their hands at that time.

Most of the audience in the audience were happy to watch, and there were constant cheers and cheers. The most important thing about this stage performance was lively, and some small details were connected with the audience's hearts. It could neither reflect the facts at that time nor was it attractive to make people fascinated. It spreads, but just told the audience a story.

After this short performance, the audience applauded, Du Zhongxiao and Bao Zheng smiled and applauded.

The main drama begins, it no longer looks like the lively one before. It is the popular song "Yingying Liuyao" in the capital. It appeared in the Tang Dynasty and has been passed down for more than a thousand years in later generations. The tune Liuyao comes from the Tang Dynasty song, which is cut out and matched with lyrics to interpret the story. The tune is graceful and changeable, sometimes soothing, sometimes rapid, so the so-called "the big string is like a rain, and the small string is like a whisper". It matches the tune, and the dance is graceful, "the light green waist dance".

Music and drama can roughly reflect the spirit of an era. After more than 200 years of war, they have suffered consecutive defeats. At this time, most of the popular music in the world is this flavor. The Five Dynasties of martial artists are in the country, and lyrics and music tend to be in two directions. One is to write more about the boudoir, which has a soft and wide popularity. The other is the melancholy and loss in literati poems, which has become a style.

In the era of warlords in the warlords, there would not be a passionate and uplifting social spirit, and it would often accelerate its depravity. The soft lyrics are a manifestation. Warriors who hold great power like this tone. Melancholy and loss, fitting with the heroes who are not met with talent, becomes two directions. The entertainment of the people in the market, after losing their feelings for their family and country, mostly focuses on things around them, or puts classic stories into the environment around them, revealing a humorous, satirical and disillusioned style. This style is actually inconsistent with the style of Hequlu.

What Du Zhongxiao hopes to hear now is the music style of thousands of miles of desert, swords and iron horses, and courageous struggle. Unfortunately, the performance on stage, the battle in Hezhou became a farce, and the next one is to slap the love between men and women.

It is not difficult to write a bold lyrics, or even a frontier poem. The difficult thing is that there is no song. The words on paper can only be mutual appreciation or flattery between literati, and cannot become the spirit of an era. The uplifting and vigorous social spirit will give birth to a group of exciting songs. With the company of such songs and real achievements, the poems of golden swords and iron horses will be spread among the people.

After watching the first zaju drama, Du Zhongxiao got up and left. He took a few followers and walked around.

Today is the day when the mall opens. Manager Ruan, who is in charge of the mall, specially invited a famous star from the capital to the famous tile rost, one for celebration and the other for attracting people. Manager Ruan is a wealthy family in the capital, and has been doing business for several generations, and is considered a professional.

The south gate of this mall is the main entrance. There is a two-story hall in the middle to make the mall, the west side is Qian Yinwu, gold and silver shops, book shops, etc., and the east side is the largest official restaurant in Shengzhou. Behind the mall, including the middle area from south to north, there are tiles and tramways, which divide the entire area into several pieces. Superintendent He has connections in the capital and invited many artists to come, which will be very lively in the future.

The mall is owned by Changpingsi, and the restaurant belongs to the state office, which is both an official industry, but the official is not operated. Shengzhou is a new city, and the people are newly moved. Of course, there are no big households. It is impossible to use big households as supervisors like other places. The official will determine the minimum profits that will be collected every year. Supervisor Ruan and Supervisor He of the restaurant are both hired from Beijing, in addition to the annual guaranteed wages, and also dividends. The people sent by the government mainly manage the money accounts and supervise daily operations, and do not participate in the management. Most of the official industries in the Song Dynasty were like this. Except for industries such as the iron supervision and military weapon supervision, the official generally does not operate directly. Apart from property rights, it is not much different from private industry and commerce. Even the iron supervision, in addition to cooperation with the mall, sold to the private iron and steel, is mostly sold by special merchants.

At this time, most people gathered in front of the stage, and some merchants were sorting out shops, and most of the doors were closed.

Qian Yinwu was closing the door, and the owner of the Jinyin Shop was directing several servants to clean up outside. Two gentlemen of the book shop sat inside, and three servants leaned against the door, looking at the scenery boredly.

When we arrived east, the restaurant had not opened yet. The servants were getting together in the colorful building, and the female prostitutes were laughing.

Du Zhongxiao really didn't want to go back to the stage to watch the jokes, so he walked across the street.

There was a big shop facing the street, and I didn’t know what business it was. Several people dressed up and were busy. I cleaned up the house, bought flowers and plants from somewhere to place them everywhere, and even hung silk everywhere.

Just when Du Zhongxiao was not sure where he was going, he suddenly heard someone say, "Ji Shuai is not there to watch the show, why do you come to a small shop?"

Du Zhongxiao turned around and saw a person standing in front of the shop next to him, saluting him. It was Wang Pu, the young leader of Tibetan Buddhism whom he had known before.

There was nothing wrong with each other, Du Zhongxiao walked to Wang Pudian and said, "Those dramas have been watched in the capital before, but when they are watching them again, they are meaningless and wander around."

While saying that, he looked at Wang Pu’s shop and said to him: “So you have bought a shop here, what business do you want to do?”

Wang Pudao: "Young people don't know how to do business. They think it's easy to sell food. Even if you can't make money, you won't lose money. You want to learn from the noodle shop I've met in Tanglong Town before and open a noodle shop."

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Okay, the location here is really good. As long as you do it carefully, you will definitely make money."

After hearing this, Wang Pu smiled: "Jie Shuai said, "It's really a little luck to rent this shop! That day, I paid 500 cents in the store business, and the official got here as soon as he drew!"
Chapter completed!
