This King Zhou is not stupid

"Sure enough, the question is too difficult, and Empress Nine-Tails can't even think of it."

"That's right, your Majesty is a problem... a problem... a problem!!!"

For a moment, Bigan suddenly began to mutter the word 'difficult', his eyes flashed, he looked at Yuzao, and bowed at the same time: "Thank you, Empress Nine-Tails, for your guidance."

Yuzao wished she could pick up her shoe and smash it on Bigan's head.

'How did I teach you again, tell me, how did I teach you today! '

"Yaxiang understood?" Wen Zhong was still in a daze.

"Yes, Nine-Tails Empress and Dawang mean that people in the world don't understand the melody, so naturally they can't understand its meaning, and they can't popularize it, but if the world listens more, hears more, and sees more, then it is an old man on the street. I'll understand a bit too."

Wen Zhong still didn't quite understand what Bigan meant.

"Yaxiang, explain clearly."

"Your Majesty is saying that he wants to establish a department based on folk touring music. That's what he means."

I have to say that Bigan really deserves to be a courtier with seven apertures and exquisite heart, he is right.

"That's right, this is what I thought in my heart. Not only the melody, but also the stories that have been passed down since ancient times, need someone to pass them on."

This kind of profession was called opera troupe in ancient times, and bard in the West. No matter what kind of profession, they are all inheritors of culture.

Chapter 130 Five: Chaoge Storyteller

Di Xin also thought about directly starting public cultural education and popularizing six-year compulsory education.

But... no!

The treasury can't afford it! ! !

Education is very costly, and tuition fees cannot be charged, otherwise it would not be called compulsory education. There is no other way but to set aside ordinary schools to meet the requirements of monk schools.

When the number of monks overflows, there will always be monks who choose to become teachers, and then teach literacy, and the literacy rate will be universal.

At present, the common literacy rate of Yin Shang is only 13%, and the very common literacy rate is only 1%. Emperor Xin can't popularize knowledge with books, and can only spread culture through word of mouth.

Fortunately, the literacy rate is still low. Most businessmen and literati know common characters, and they write fairy tales in an easy-to-understand manner, and then let others tell the stories in restaurants and other places. This will not only drive the restaurant economy, but also Can popularize culture.

Although alternative storytelling such as "Guan Gong vs Qin Qiong" may appear in the future, at least someone knows who Guan Gong and Qin Qiong are, rather than not even knowing who this person is.

The same is true for the students in the monastic school. They know Xuanyuan Huangdi, but they don't know who Nuba and Yinglong are, let alone Xingtian and Jingwei.

This level of cultural education is not good, and it is easy to have cultural faults.

I'm afraid it wasn't rumored that a hero like Nuba can become a monster.

"Gu ordered today, Shang Rong, in order to promote culture, you start to reorganize the history books today, and write it in a more easy-to-understand manner. If there is anything wrong, you can look for Bai Ze's trace and ask him."

Bai Ze, who was walking on the street, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.

"Why do you feel uneasy?"

"The minister takes orders." Shang Rong withdrew, but fortunately he had already compiled the history books on paper before.

"Oh, in addition, you can recruit some people or demons who are smooth-headed and flexible in places such as restaurants and teahouses in Chaoge City where the traffic is relatively dense, and tell stories in those places."

"storytelling?"

For this word, Shang Rong still felt very novel.

"Storytelling is a bit of a business, but storytelling is better."

"I see."

Shang Rong understood, and he often told stories to his grandson, and the teachers in the school would also tell stories to students when they were teaching.

"It's just that the king, telling the stories of the ancestors, will it be disrespectful to the ancestors?"

Di Xin shook his head and said: "It is really disrespectful to let the stories of the ancestors be hidden in the book and be forgotten by the later generations. The spirit is worthy of future generations to learn from."

"I understand."

Shang Rong is more cautious, but also smart, he understands what Di Xin means.

To be on the safe side, we can start with some stories full of positive energy, such as the story of Nuwa empress pinching earth to mend the sky.

He can talk for ten minutes by himself.

Then let’s talk about the story of the battle between Xuanyuan Huangdi and Chi You. This story can probably be told in eight or ten short paragraphs, let alone other stories.

'Take your time, listen to the king's words and you're right. '

After Di Xin finished speaking, he continued: "There is still research on magical instruments, which must be developed towards practicality and mass production. The phonograph instruments mentioned just now, and the 'curtain volume' must continue to be studied. ,Understand?"

"I understand." This is Wen Zhong's job.

"In that case, let's retreat."

All the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, and it can be regarded as the next court.

They walked out of Longde Hall together, while still discussing what happened in the court hall.

"Master Fei, you dared to speak up just now, you are also very brave."

"Hey, no matter where, it was the king who woke me up." Fei Zhong didn't want to attract attention, and it is easy to cause accidents.

"Master Fei."

Wen Zhong put his hand on Fei Zhong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have violated the Chao Gang in private, is it true or not?"

Fei Zhong's smile froze on his face at that moment.

That's not true, let alone him, even You Hun, who was talking to him next to him, violated Chao Gang's behavior a little bit.

"Wen Taishi, I don't dare to lie, I do have some private affairs of my own."

"Hmph." Wen Zhong snorted coldly.

"Then you'd better be careful, don't let the Ministry seize the evidence, otherwise I don't care about your status in front of the king, I have to arrest you."

"Yes, yes, I heard that the grand master taught me that."

Fei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, what the Grand Master said meant that he would not arrest Fei Zhong now.

By luck.

This made Bigan very puzzled. He walked up to Grand Master Wen and asked, "Grand Master Wen, what's wrong with you today? You are always upright and upright. You dare to hit even the king for making mistakes. Since you caught Fei Zhong's Why don't you arrest him and bring him to justice?"

"Of course I know Fei Zhong's character. I just lied to him just now, but I really didn't get any evidence. If he stops here, I can't do anything to him. If he doesn't listen to the persuasion and continue to commit crimes, hmph, he will know that people are powerful. of."

Wen Zhong sneered, he had already decided to manage the Ministry of Human Resources well, so naturally he would not tolerate any corrupt officials.

And Di Xin's side.

When Yuzao accompanied him to rest in the palace garden, Di Xin asked her a word while drinking tea.

"Aifei, what do you think of Yin Shang?"

"Under the leadership of the great king in Yin and Shang, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the weather is good, the grain is plentiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is indeed a prosperous age rarely seen in a thousand years."

"No, no, no."

Di Xin shook his head.

"What I want to hear is not this. What I want to hear is the shortcomings of Yin and Shang. I can't see them, but others can see them."

Yuzao looked puzzled with a question mark above her head.

Since ancient times, kings have always liked other people's words, but how could it be the other way around on Di Xin's side?

She didn't know that Di Xin was testing her, whether she was still trying to harm Yin Shang Jiangshan.

Yuzao also took advantage of this opportunity to speak out what was in his heart.

"Well... I have to talk about the problems of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. The concubines really feel that there are some problems. Xiqi has repeatedly violated the orders of the king. The name of rebellion has already been confirmed, but why does the king not send troops to attack Xiqi?"

'Quick, quick, listen to my instigation and go fight Xiqi, so it can consume some national power anyway. '

Di Xin didn't answer immediately, but looked at Yuzao with a smile on his face, and the smile remained unchanged.

"This is indeed a problem, but Gu will never take the initiative to provoke such things as war. If Xiqi wants to rebel, let him rebel. If Xiqi sends spies, let him send them. I don't worry about him, I worry more about it." It's the people behind Xiqi."

Di Xin looked up at the sky and said: "The destiny has not changed, Xiqi does have support, and we can't attack Zhou for the time being, but when Xiqi rebels, Gu can justifiably take Xiqi."

Di Xin was also sure at this time that Empress Nuwa probably still hadn't forgiven him.

It doesn't matter, after Empress Nuwa appeared last time, her prestige was very high in the human race, and it was absolutely impossible for her to show up to help Xiqi.

The only saint who needs vigilance is Yuanshi Tianzun.

Chapter 130 Six: Female Demon: The story you told is wrong

"Snapped."

With a loud bang, the attention of everyone eating in the restaurant was drawn to the center of the restaurant. This best place is now occupied by a wooden table and wooden chairs. On the wooden table are a gavel and a teapot. .

A hozen dressed in white was holding a paper fan and said: "Everyone who is walking on the road, flying in the sky, and swimming in the sea, let me introduce myself. This is the new storyteller Hu Lai. Thank you for joining us today."

"Storyteller? What do you mean?"

The people in the restaurant don't quite understand what this means.

"Everyone, you must have never heard of the story I'm going to tell today. What I'm going to tell is about the daughter of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor."

"Oh?"

Most of the people eating in the restaurant are people of some status, not businessmen, but also people with family property, but there are also some ordinary people who come to taste the food. When they heard about Xuanyuan Huangdi, they all became energetic.

They looked at Hu Lai and said, "You hozen, the story of the Yellow Emperor's daughter is not a lie. If you make a mistake, you will be beheaded."

Hu Lai smiled, of course he knew that he would be beheaded if he made a mistake, and he was one of the newly recruited monster monks who passed the review of the Human Ministry.

"Whether you are talking nonsense or not, then you have to listen to me carefully."

Snapped!

There was another crisp gavel, and Hu Lai began to tell the story about the Yellow Emperor's daughter, Ba.

"It's an epic story. It happened in the battle for the deer. It said that Xuanyuan Huangdi fought with Chi You of the Jiuli Tribe. The God of God is the ancestor of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and he stored up floods in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, intending to flood Chiyou's base camp in the south!"

As Hu Lai told the story, his unique hozen-like voice and intonation attracted many people to watch.

"What kind of person is Chi You? It is the existence that even Xuanyuan Huangdi felt that it was hard to fight. He learned that on Dongtai Mountain, there are two powerful men, Feng Bo and Yu Shi, who can call the wind and rain, and their Taoism is extremely deep, so they invited them , In less than a day, this Feng Bo and Yu Shi arrived. These two people are also strange people, one has the head of a bird and the body of a snake, and the other has the head of a silkworm and the body of a big worm. When Chi You saw it, he respected him as the honored guest."

When the villain appears on the other side of the hero, it is the classic moment of the story.

Rarely did the people in the restaurant stop making noise and toasting each other. Instead, they ate quietly while listening to Hu Lai's storytelling.

"On that day, there was a strong wind, flying sand and rocks, falling trees and houses, rolling dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain. It was the Uncle Feng and the Master of Rain who were showing their magical powers. Xuanyuan Huangdi's army was swept away by the wind and submerged in water. , immediately withdrew his troops and left, but wherever they withdrew, the wind and rain followed, and when Chi You saw it, he immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued."

The protagonist is in crisis and the tension rises.

Hu Lai stopped talking, and slowly took a sip of tea from the teapot. Someone next to him couldn't wait any longer, and quickly asked, "Then what happened next?"

Although these stories are recorded in the annals of history, they have not been circulated among the people, and the people in the restaurant naturally don't know about them.

After finishing his tea, Hu Lai put down the teapot slowly again, spread out his paper fan, and continued: "The Yellow Emperor's army retreated to Zhulu City, but Feng Bo and Yu Shi followed closely behind, and even Ying Long couldn't do anything to them, but just At this time, a woman in green clothes came from the northwest, landed beside the Yellow Emperor and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, wait for me to break his sorcery!" This woman is Nuba."

The story begins to enter the exciting part.

"Nvba is the god of drought in the sky. She collected the light of the sun and the moon in Kunlun Mountains, and practiced the art of driving rain and wind. Come to help the Yellow Emperor attack Feng Bo and Yu Shi. I saw her displaying magical powers, and the violent wind and rain caused by Feng Bo and Yu Shi's magical power dissipated in an instant. The flag was lowered, and the generals under his command led the army to defeat Chi You, entered the city triumphantly, and held a banquet to celebrate."

"What about the female demon?" One person asked.

"Hey." Hu Lai sighed.

"It's a pity to say that because of the exhaustion of her physical strength, the female demon can no longer fly into the sky, so she has to stay in the world. It is said that until today, the female demon is still in the north, so there is a lack of rain and water in the north."

"There is a loophole in your statement." A woman in Tsing Yi slightly raised her hand and said.

"Oh?"

Hu Lai didn't expect anyone to make an opinion.

"What's your opinion, judge?"

The woman in Tsing Yi talked gracefully: "In fact, Nuba didn't use up all her skills. She was in the north just to recover her skills. It's just because she didn't have a good command of mana, so the north is dry and rainless. If she really used up all her skills, how can she do that?" Let the north suffer a severe drought?"

When Hu Lai heard it, it seemed to make sense.

He tapped his head with a paper fan and said: "Oh, this girl, the little one is just a storyteller, it's written in the book, that's what I said, I don't know how you know these things?"
