Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

The troupe's first performance was successfully completed.

The military songs they sang together made people cry, but the comedy they performed made people laugh out loud.

Everyone enjoyed watching.

After the sympathy performance, Lou Yu summoned the curator and gave him a reward.

The curator knelt down and thanked him.

Lou Yu asked: "Would you like to work for the government office?"

The host was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "Yes! The villain is willing! Please just give orders!"

It's a great honor for people like them to be able to do business for the government government!

The curator was so excited that he almost cried.

Lou Yu said: "I want to organize a performance team, let's call it an art troupe. The art troupe needs to listen to my orders. What to perform in the future, how to perform, and where to perform, all have to be arranged by me. Are you willing?"

The museum owner boldly asked: "That villain..."

"You can be the head of the art troupe and manage the affairs of the troupe."

The owner of the museum, Jishou, saluted: "The villain thanks the prince for his kindness!"

To be able to do business under the command of the prince, this is really smoke from the ancestral grave!

The art troupe is divided into chorus, dance, drama and band.

For this sympathy performance, because of the hasty preparation, they only produced three programs, and everyone was still enjoying themselves.

But no matter how much I want to say, I can only wait for the next opportunity.

Under Lou Yu's arrangement, the art troupe went to the other Qizhou military camps for a tour.

The new issue of "Gyeongju Xunbao" highlights the success of the "Gyeongju Art Troupe Condolence Performance", and points out that the art troupe will go on tour in the remaining seven states.

The next stop is Cangzhou!

People who read the newspaper don't know why.

What is an art troupe?What about condolence performances?

The remaining seven states received instructions and set up stages in the camp one after another.

With the performance of the art troupe, the military song "Ode to the Torrent" gradually became popular in Yashu.

Not only the soldiers sang, but ordinary people also sang along.

Lou Yu used a military song to unite the hearts of soldiers and common people in the eight states.

The people in the rest of the prefectures learned about the life of the people in the eight states through the newspapers, and they all felt envious.

Tang Cheng threw down the newspaper, and said coldly, "I'm used to making such fancy things."

No one in the capital dared to disobey him, and he became more and more self-respecting.

Lou Yu wrote an article to beat him before, he did restrain himself a little at that time, but he quickly reverted to his old ways.

The whole person became more and more arrogant.

The military adviser shook the newspaper, and said earnestly: "General, the imperial physicians say that most of your majesty's foundation has been damaged, and it will be difficult to have any more children. Even if you let your majesty have more concubines, it will only aggravate your majesty's weakness."

Tang Cheng suppressed the cruelty in his eyes, and said in a strange tone:

"Who said that the concubine must not be able to conceive a child?"

Hearing what he meant, the military adviser couldn't help being shocked: "General!"

Tang Cheng sneered: "If I can't be the emperor, neither can his surname Lou!"

"This, this is the palace of chaos!"

Tang Cheng didn't care and said, "Don't you think this plan is very good? If Lou Bingzhen thought it was his child, what would he do?"

military adviser:"……"

Having blood and not having blood are completely different.

Now that Lou Bing has no heirs, of course he turned to Lou Yu, what if he had heirs?

At that time, Lou Yu might become Lou Bing's serious trouble.

This plan is indeed wonderful, and it is indeed poisonous.

The military adviser frowned and said, "General, do you really want to do this?"

Tang Cheng squinted at him: "Can't you?"

The military division felt uneasy and said: "This move is too risky, if you are not careful, you will fall into the trap."

Fornicating the palace is a capital offense.

Tang Cheng sneered and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Both inside and outside the palace are under his control, as long as he becomes the emperor, who cares who the child is.

The tour performance of the art troupe ended and returned with great honor.

Lou Yu saw that this kind of entertainment was very popular, so he made up his mind.

He summoned the director of the art troupe and the captains of each team in the troupe, and held a meeting.

Iris is the captain of the chorus, so naturally she is among them.

"The performances of our art troupe are very successful and worthy of promotion across the country, so I want you to continue to perform in other state capitals, but the programs can be replaced with new ones."

The steward said: "Excuse me for being stupid, I don't know how to arrange the new program that the prince needs?"

"Singing and dancing are the same as usual, and humorous plays can be performed in a new way." Lou Yu said, and asked Feng Erbi to hand them the scripts respectively, "This is a new play that I have someone write, please rehearse carefully."

After looking through it, everyone didn't think there was anything.

On the other hand, Yuanwei is well-informed, so she couldn't help asking: "My lord, is the new play adapted from the eunuch's manipulation of power in the previous dynasty to confuse the emperor's heir?"

Lou Yu nodded.

News came from the Anbu of the capital that Tang Cheng's ambitions had swelled to the extreme, and he began to torture Lou Bing's body again.

Lou Yu didn't know Tang Cheng's true thoughts, but it didn't prevent him from making things difficult for Tang Cheng.

At the same time, it was also to remind Lou Bing.

According to Lou Yu's speculation, the reason why Tang Cheng has become more and more confident is that he may have come up with a solution.

What kind of plan would make Tang Cheng rampant again?

Lou Yu can only think of one.

That is when Lou Bing gave birth to an heir.

Then, why did Tang Cheng conclude that Lou Bing would definitely get the concubine pregnant with his frail body?

Except for Lou Bing's miraculous recovery, only cuckold is left.

Dasheng didn't have a paternity test. Anyway, as long as it was born by the concubine, as long as the time of luck coincided with the time of conception, no one could tell whether the child in the concubine's belly was a dragon's heir or not.

What Tang Cheng can think of, Lou Yu can think of too.

But Lou Bing is not necessarily.

He is likely to be blinded by his own selfish desires.

Once this is done, Tang Cheng will be the biggest winner.

Therefore, Tang Cheng is persecuting Lou Bing no matter what, and he is not afraid of hurting Lou Bing's body at all.

I'm afraid that once the concubine gives birth to the "Dragon Heir", Lou Bing will immediately disappear from this world.

Lou Yu didn't want to gamble on Lou Bing's thoughts.

After the release of the new issue of "Gyeongju Xunbao", people everywhere are full of expectations.

Because it was mentioned in the news that the Gyeongju Art Troupe is going to perform in various state capitals across the country after performing in eight states!

The common people are very curious about the new things in Gyeongju.

After the art troupe reported it, they always wanted to see it, and now their wish has come true, let alone how happy they are.

The first stop of the national tour will be in Beijing.

The art troupe has reached a cooperation with the largest restaurant in the capital and intends to perform in the restaurant.

Everyone knows that the art troupe was founded by King Dong'an, so the restaurant will naturally give King Dong'an face, and by the way, it will also bring huge profits to the restaurant.

After the world stabilized, the people's lives gradually became richer, and most of them had spare money to go to restaurants to watch performances.

But to enter the restaurant to watch the show, you have to buy tickets.

A ticket costs twenty Wen.

For the people in the capital, twenty Wen is not too much, so it should be seen as something new.

After Emperor Jiaxi ascended the throne, in addition to rewarding those who made meritorious deeds for King Qin, he also rewarded those who made meritorious deeds for guarding the capital.

Lou Bing restored the glory of Ning Enhou Xie Xin, and bestowed a lot of property.

It's just that Xie Xin's legs are disabled, and Xie Ce's arm is also broken. Now the Hou Mansion is nothing but a glamor on the surface, but the inside is actually a mess.

Xie Mao encountered this difficulty, and he was no longer the arrogant and willful Xie Erlang in the past.

The more he saw, the more he admired Lou Yu.

He bought and read every issue of Gyeongju Weekly.

Knowing that the art troupe was coming to the capital to perform, he decided to go and find out.

He earned the money for the tickets himself.

He entered the restaurant and chose a seat by the window to sit down.

The young owner of the restaurant knew him well, and when he saw him coming, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Why are you sitting here? There is a private room upstairs, come and sit with me."

"It's nice here," Xie Mao refused with a smile, "The private room is far away from the table, so I can't see clearly."

He used to like the private room, thinking it was a status symbol, but now he thinks that the noisy fireworks in the lobby are also quite good.

Seeing that he persisted, the Shaodong family had no choice but to give up.

He sat opposite Xie Mao, and couldn't help pouring out bitterness to him.

"Xie Erlang, judge me. Is this Dong'an king deceiving too much?"

Xie Mao was a little surprised: "Too much deception?"

He has always heard praises for King Dong'an, but has he ever heard complaints?

The Young Master said in a low voice: "Don't look at the building is busy now, but we can't make much money!"

Xie Mao only believed three points in his words.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, the Shaodong family gave him an example: "I'll tell you, and you'll understand. Let's talk about the ticket price first, our restaurant can only get [-]% of the profit of the restaurant on the day of the performance. They also get [-]% of the profit of the restaurant on the day of the performance. But if the spectators Reward, but our restaurant can't see a single coin."

Isn't this called a profiteer? !

Xie Mao said: "But for your restaurant, the profit of one day today can be equal to half a month in the past, right? After all, the restaurant is still making money."

Young master: "...you have changed a lot."

The old Xie Erlang was much better at fooling around than the current one!

Xie Mao smiled and turned to look at the stage.

"It's about to start."

The art troupe has accumulated a lot of performance experience in eight states, and it has no fear of the people in the capital.

A song "Ode to the Torrent" directly made the audience burst into tears.

Xie Mao couldn't help lowering his head and supporting his forehead, not letting others see him cry.

He was born in a family of generals, so he can better understand the tragedy.

The elder brother broke his arm in the first battle in Tongzhou, and the father became disabled while guarding the capital.

No matter what they have done before, they are all heroes of Dasheng when it comes to defending their home and country.

As the song says, their spirit is as indestructible as a torrent of steel.

He wished his father and brother could hear this piece.

They must be deeply relieved.

The chorus team on the stage, dressed in neat dark green costumes, sang the exciting repertoire solemnly and in unison.

The performance of the band next to the stage brings people into a passionate and tragic situation.

At the end of the song, the whole house applauds.

"This song is so good, I cried when I heard it!"

"My elder brother died while defending the capital, woo woo woo woo."

"I heard that this is a military song specially written by the King of Dong'an for the troops stationed in the eight states. It's great!"

"The King of Dong'an is really kind!"

"If I have the chance, I must go to Gyeongju to have a look!"

The Young Master handed Xie Mao a handkerchief, and said in a nasal voice, "Wipe it off."

"Thank you."

Xie Mao wiped away his tears, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Except for Fan Yusheng, everyone looked away."

The Shaodong family is aware of the entanglement between the two families, but he can't take a stand on the grievances of others, so he can only change the subject: "It's time for the next show."

Although the singing and dancing later was novel and interesting, it was not as shocking as military songs.

Until the symphony is staged.

Xie Mao frowned more and more.

"This play... is somewhat similar to the "False Dragon Case" of the previous dynasty."

Young Master smacked his lips, raised his eyebrows and said, "I think so."

The "Pseudo-Dragon Case" of the previous dynasty involved the royal family, and the news was tightly blocked, so few people knew about it.

Although the dynasties have changed, this case is rarely known to ordinary people except for some honorable families.

The false dragon case has not been recorded in the history books, but it can be seen in some case books such as the living notes of the former royal family.

Those who can get in touch with these are basically people at the core of power, and these people will not publicize this kind of thing, so the common people know little about it.

It has been heard that the young master's family can open such a large restaurant in the capital with a strong background.

The more he looked at it, the more interesting it became.

"King Dong'an brought this play out, it seems to have a deep meaning."

They are in the capital, how can they not know Tang Cheng's growing ambition?

Not all courtiers are on Tang Cheng's side.

Tang Cheng hit this board today and that board tomorrow, and even beat others to death in a fit of rage, pretending to turn Dasheng Chaotang into his own one-word hall.

What's more, the news of Emperor Jiaxi's "excessive indulgence" was also circulating in the capital.

Tang Cheng's wolf ambition is clearly revealed.

King Dong'an rehearsed this scene, did he mean something?

But no matter what, the art troupe was completely popular in the capital.

Their songs are uplifting and their banter is hilarious.

"Ode to the Great Current" has a simple melody, sonorous and powerful singing, catchy, and most people can learn it after listening to it a few times, except for those with five-tone insufficiency.

Therefore, this military song became the most popular song in the capital.

The troupe's humorous plays were also well received.

The common people remembered the story in the play, and after word of mouth, it became popular in the capital.

Lou Bing basically reads newspapers every ten days.

He knew about the art troupe's performance in Beijing. Although he couldn't go to see the excitement in person, he could have someone watch it and then dictate it to him.

He was not interested in singing and dancing, and when he heard the joke, he was stunned.

I just felt a chill spread from the soles of my feet to my limbs.

He thought it was strange that Tang Cheng's intensified efforts in recent days would be of any benefit to him.

After hearing the joke, I realized it instantly.

Tang Cheng's rationality could no longer suppress his ambition.

He is not afraid of losing his reputation, nor is he afraid of his early death.

As long as he can master the "Dragon Heir", he can become the master of the world.

It's no wonder that Mr. Tang has been pestering him desperately these days.

Just at this time, a little servant came to report with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, there is news from Luanfeng Palace that the imperial concubine is happy!"

The hall fell into silence.

If the news came before, Lou Bing might have been pleasantly surprised, but now, he just feels disgusted.

A fishy sweetness welled up in the throat.

He desperately suppressed the monstrous anger, and said hoarsely: "How many months?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said, it should be more than a month."

More than a month... Heh.

Lou Bing remembered that a month ago, the imperial physician said that his kidney yang was insufficient and it was difficult for him to conceive a child.

very good!Really good!

At the same time, Tang Cheng also received news that the imperial concubine was pregnant.

He couldn't help being ecstatic: "Is she really pregnant?"

"It's true."

Tang Cheng's expression was a little crazy, and he earnestly confessed: "The concubine must take good care of her pregnancy! When she gives birth to a dragon heir, I will ask your majesty to make her queen!"

The military adviser frowned: "General, have you heard of the "Pseudo-Dragon Case" that was staged in the city recently?"

"I've heard, so what? Lou Yu really thinks he can beat me with these little tricks? He's too naive!"

After Tang Cheng came to power, he was surrounded by flatterers, which made him feel even more that as long as he was in power, no matter what he did, no one would dare to criticize him.

He did cherish feathers before, but that was because Lou Yu suppressed him, and he couldn't be caught by Lou Yu.

After Lou Yu left, he fell into the swamp of power desire, and no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him anymore, so he became unscrupulous.

This world wasn't originally his house's!

Why can't the surname be Tang?

The military adviser became more and more tired: "But if His Majesty becomes suspicious after hearing about it..."

"So what?" Tang Cheng sneered, "He's just a piece of trash, as long as the noble concubine gives birth to a prince, there's no room for him to speak!"

military adviser:"……"

He actually wanted to say that rabbits would bite people when they were in a hurry.

What's more, the blood of the Lou family is not all cowards.

Lou Bing has been able to bear it till now, which shows his character.

Seeing Tang Cheng's impatient expression, the military division had no choice but to shut up.

In any case, the capital is now in their hands, and there are still [-] Northwest troops in the capital. General Tang's chances of winning are still quite large.

Lou Yu is doing a lot of construction in Gyeongju, shielding the capital from all the vicissitudes.

After the first stop of the art troupe, it traveled to other state capitals in Dasheng.

They constantly compose new songs and arrange new humorous plays, some of which point out the current maladies and some reflect the lives of ordinary people.

They incorporated Gyeongju's new ideas and concepts into the program, and brought ideas to the states during the tour.

When the art troupe performs, the most frequently asked question is: Has Gyeongju really abolished the divorce system?

Many people sighed when they got the definite answer.

The old ancestor's rules are abolished as soon as they are said to be abolished. The King of Dong'an is really courageous!

Someone else asked: Are the female officials in the play really female?Are there really female officials in Gyeongju?

After getting an affirmative answer, they are complicated and unspeakable.

No matter what the people think, Lou Yu's goal has been achieved.

——Spread ideas, root fire.

Under the leadership of the Gyeongju Art Troupe, art troupes in various states have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Under Lou Yu's instructions, the art troupe is not limited to military condolences and state capital performances.

They will go deep into the grassroots, use art forms to broaden the horizons of ordinary people during the slack season, constantly spread new ideas and concepts, and bring them happiness.

Lou Yu was busy developing his cultural and educational career, so even when news of Concubine Tang's pregnancy came out, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Pregnancy does not mean that you will be able to give birth to a prince.

If the baby is a princess, according to tradition, it is impossible for the princess to inherit the throne.

Even if a prince is born, the seeds of doubt have already taken root in Lou Bing's heart.

How Lou Bing will choose, Lou Yu doesn't know.

But what he can be sure of is that Lou Bing will never personally bury the Lou family.

Whether Lou Bingdou can beat Tang Cheng or not, Lou Yu is not afraid.

The [-] Northwest Army is mighty, but only [-]% of Tang Cheng can really fight.

As for Lou Yu, he still held a secret weapon in his hand.

The horses pass by the window, and the streamer is fleeting.

In a blink of an eye, it's autumn harvest again.

The good news from various states came one after another, and everyone in the general office was beaming with joy.

Lin Dajing reported the data from various places to Lou Yu.

Wheat harvests everywhere, cotton and potato production doubled, mulberry fishponds in Huzhou saw initial results, and sweet potatoes in Jiangzhou also achieved good harvests.

Everything is booming.

Lin Dajing couldn't help crying while talking.

"Forgive me, my lord, this subordinate has lost his composure."

Lou Yu understood his excitement, and said benevolently, "You cried for the people of Bazhou not to suffer from hunger, why did you lose your temper?"

How could Lin Dajing not be excited after experiencing the famine and witnessing the miracle of the development of Eight States?

It is his greatest wish in this life to feed the people of the world.

At the same time, thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of laborers, official roads in various states have been initially built.

During the construction of the official road, Lou Yu had asked the Ministry of Industry to plan various toll stations, and the toll stations were almost completed simultaneously.

With the development in recent years, business travel has become more frequent in Gyeongju, Cangzhou, Jizhou and other places. Before the official roads are laid, these caravans can only choose to take some rugged trails.

Seeing that the official road was completed, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the news of the new issue of "Gyeongju Xunbao" directly stunned them.

The important news wrote: Since the beginning of October in the first year of Jiaxi, the new official roads in Qingzhou, Cangzhou, Yizhou, Jizhou, Jiangzhou, Huzhou, Dingzhou, and Laizhou will implement a charging policy for passing vehicles. Details can be found in Consult each charging station.

Everyone was excited in private.

"Damn, what is the fee for going the official way? The king of Dong'an is crazy about money!"

"It's so ugly to eat! I won't follow the official path!"

"Isn't it? I'm collecting money again? It's getting harder and harder these days."

"What kind of charging method is this? Does everyone have to pay?"

"You can just ask yourself? Anyway, I don't follow the official path!"

No matter how outsiders criticize, the people of Bazhou feel very happy.

Toll stations have virtually provided many jobs for the people of eight states.

As long as you can write, count, talk and laugh, you can apply for the job.

Although this work is also hard, it is considered a relatively easy job compared to the coolies who are exposed to the wind and sun and work hard.

Of course, in Lou Yu's plan, there are still supporting facilities beside the official road that are not perfect.

Such as the service area.

Even if there is no complete service area, there are still public toilets.

Lou Yu has traveled outside several times, but he is not used to solving physical problems in the wild.

In broad daylight, even with a curtain to cover it, it is embarrassing enough.

Especially for women.

Under the obstruction of the charging policy, many business travelers would rather take the trail than the official road.

Until it rains.

People who have been traveling all year round know that when it rains, the road will become muddy, the carriage will move slowly, and sometimes the wheels will get stuck in the mud and cannot be pulled out for a long time.

This will greatly affect their itinerary, especially for caravans carrying goods.

If you delay the time, you may breach the contract. If you breach the contract, you will have to pay the other party liquidated damages. This trip is not only in vain, but also your own money.

But the official roads laid by eight states do not have this problem.

On the first day of October, the eight state official roads were opened, and there were almost no cars and horses on the road.

On the second day of October, the official road was also very quiet except for some pedestrians walking on two legs.

It was the same for the next few days.

The general office is full of worries, but Lou Yu is calm and relaxed.

After Lu You was transferred to Laizhou as the magistrate, Fang Huan took over as Minister of Industry.

With drooping eyebrows, he came to Lou Yu to report on the operation of the official road, and said worriedly: "My lord, Bazhou spent a lot of money, material and manpower to lay the cement official road, but now there are very few business travelers. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay back."

Lou Yu said: "Don't worry, you have to give them a reaction time."

They still don't understand that time is money.

Lou Yu asked someone to secretly count the data.

On sunny days, if a caravan chooses the small road to arrive in Yizhou from Laizhou, it will take twice as long as choosing the official road.

Twice may not sound like much, but in the long run, it will definitely be a huge loss.

For example, if the Ping An Escort can get 20 taels for a trip to the bulk cargo, then, in the same time period, he can take the official route twice, which is 40 taels.

From Laizhou to Yizhou, you may have to pay [-] Wen for one trip on the official road, and [-] Wen for two trips.

Isn't 40 taels more fragrant than 20 taels minus the toll fee of [-] Wen?

In the same way, if a merchant sells his goods quickly, wouldn't his business be more active?

That's the case on sunny days, but what about rainy days?

Everyone who does business has a plan in mind, but they haven't realized it yet.

On the eighth day of October, it rained heavily, covering all eight prefectures.

The trail is muddy and rugged, and the soles of the feet often slip, making it difficult to walk.

Many caravans had no choice but to choose the official road.

As soon as they set foot on the official road, the speed of the convoy increased significantly. At first, they were worried that they would not be able to deliver the goods in time, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

When they enjoy the convenience of the official road, will they still choose the rough and uneven trails?
