"But aren't you short of money?!" Sheng Yuan looked at Emperor Jing He who was about to roar and asked the most touching rhetorical question.
"...Do you think this move can be profitable?" Emperor Jing He's turbulent emotions calmed down instantly.
Probably realizing that his behavior was a bit rude and not in line with his image of being wealthy all over the world, Emperor Jinghe waved his hand, "Even if the profit of recruiting theater troupes is extremely high, I will not agree! Do you think I am someone who competes with the people for profit?" Your Xiaoxiao?"
"But among the opera troupes that are able to gain a foothold, which one has no backer? Ordinary people, who can be their backer? The Holy One does not fight, only the powerful and aristocratic families fight. It has nothing to do with the ordinary people!"
"!!!" Emperor Jinghe suddenly realized.
This is really the case!
"Please tell me in detail."
Therefore, Shengyuan talked about his idea of promoting Guanxi Fang to local areas.
To put it simply, the imperial court established official theater theaters in various places. The government sent people to produce playbooks and recruited major theater troupes from various places to perform the plays that the court wanted the people to watch.
Of course, the troupes of the official theater have to perform in various places.
"Guanxifang can definitely cooperate with teahouses and theaters. They charge venue fees, Guanxifang collects ticket fees, and then gives the theater troupe a commission. Of course, since it is said to be promoted, it cannot be limited to the venue. The teahouses and theaters mentioned before , it is aimed at collecting money from wealthy people, and we should find ways to make them pay more; as for ordinary people, it is necessary for the troupe to go to the fields to perform for everyone. For ordinary people, the ticket price should be reduced or reduced, and the maximum charge That’s what the last two sentences mean.”
Sheng Yuan's plan was said in a sloppy manner, but Emperor Jing He's eyes sparkled when he heard it.
Emperor Jinghe was not excited about the income, but what he valued was the impact of this idea!
As long as the people accept the official theater, the imperial court can indirectly contact the people, and it can subtly influence the people under its rule, making them love the imperial court and support the imperial decree!
"Very good, leave this matter to the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Emperor Jinghe knew that if it was profitable, An Suiyun would definitely be tireless!
Shengyuan didn't know what Emperor Jinghe was thinking. Seeing that the emperor who had been rejecting her before, now gave up his past resentment, his eyes were full of kindness when he looked over, and he felt a little emotional:
Look! When you are a subordinate, you cannot think too carefully! We still need to give leaders room to use their talents.
…
Just after the autumn harvest, official theaters sprung up all over Dachu.
With the growth of Guan Theater, the plays designed by Sheng Yuan were performed in every corner of Dachu!
Sheng Yuan twice fought against the Confucian scholars in Wenjian. Although there was a lot of commotion among the upper class and the scholars, the common people only heard about it. What was the specific reason for the quarrel and the dispute? Literacy rate Ordinary people with low status naturally don’t know much about it.
It is already difficult for ordinary people to make a living, so how can they find the energy to find out about these unattainable excitements.
However, when this excitement was translated into the vernacular and performed for free for everyone to see, even the poorest villagers in the village came with their whole families to watch it.
It must be said that Sheng Yuan knows what gimmicks are.
No, six yuan and a female champion, punching the orator and kicking the censor, scolding colleagues and scolding the superior, making great scholars fearful when they hear it, and hiding their sleeves when the master sees it... and other propaganda elements full of legends and confrontations are spread. Far.
Even the most pedantic Confucian scholars in villages and towns did not show any resistance. Instead, they took the initiative to invite friends to come and have a look.
This is mainly due to Sheng Yuan being so noisy!
And her fuss happened under the eyes of the emperor and court officials!
From the emperor to the courtiers, even if they were arguing with her, no one thought it was wrong for her to make a fuss. All arguments were based on the matter and had nothing to do with gender.
In the simple thinking of ordinary people, it is not very important whether something conforms to the old rules. As long as the emperor, high officials, and educated gentlemen accept, approve, or do not object, it is right.
With this understanding, the drama arranged by Sheng Yuan spread to all parts of Dachu with extremely fast efficiency!
Some of the people who watched the show were confused, some were confused, some resisted, and some accepted silently.
"Not all fertile farmland is natural. Only by clearing up more wasteland can we cultivate more and better soil." Sheng Yuan said to Anyu with a smile.
