Chapter 2384 Don''t bully the young and poor


    Chang''an.


    Zuixian Tower.


    If there is a place where Dahan is the most lively right now, of course it is Chang''an.


    And in Chang''an, which place is the most lively, naturally it is Zuixian Tower.


    Qinglong Temple?


    Qinglong Temple is lively during the day, and there are basically no people at night, but here in Zuixianlou, no matter day or night, it is full of noise and crowds.


    Such a big piece of meat, flowing like a bucket of gold every day, naturally attracted the eyes of wolves around, but no one dared to move, because some people said that there was a backstage in Zuixianlou, a very solid backstage, and some said it belonged to Fei Shi. , some people said it belonged to Huang''s family, and others said it belonged to Webster''s, but they have not been confirmed, and no one has ever seen the real owner of the Zuixian Tower.


    It''s not that no one wants to move and try, but since those who want to move, or give it a try, or the family, for various reasons, have fallen into more trouble than moving a restaurant, or After that, gradually no one dared to mess around.


    At the beginning, some people had some worries and doubts about Zuixianlou, but food and **** are also human’s preference for food, which can be said to be common in all ages and in all countries. As long as you can’t help it for the first time, there will be a follow-up In the end, only the word "true fragrance" remained. Zuixianlou, which has many fresh dishes, has gradually become a super large restaurant collection integrating food, accommodation, entertainment and leisure.


    Moreover, people themselves have a gathering effect. Even if some people resist, they will be more or less motivated when they see a huge crowd of others going to Zuixianlou. It''s hard to say that there is still strong willpower to refuse.


    This is true for the children of the gentry, and it is the same for ordinary people.


    Zuixianlou is not like some restaurants in the later generations. They put on a shelf and want to rely on a certain level. If the waiter can''t speak Xirong accent well, it will lose face.


    In the Zuixian Building, there are tens of thousands of dollars worth of drunken wine, and there are three big coins for all-you-can-eat hot noodle soup.


    Well, of course, two years ago, a bowl of hot noodle soup only cost two big bucks.


    Generally speaking, the tall building in the Zuixian Tower belongs to the children of the gentry, and ordinary people will not go there. In that tall building, there are female recruits, bearded girls, swirling colorful skirts, snow-white belly, The mellow wine, of course, also represents a high price.


    On the other side, around the courtyard on the second floor, more ordinary people came. If you have some spare money, you just go into the yard, or wait on the second floor, sit on a table, order two corners of drinks, three taels of bean dishes, eat and drink slowly, and no one is holding a timer or anything. Urge, eat well and get a warm greeting before leaving, and the long shouts are not much quieter than those in the tall buildings.


    If you don''t have much spare money, it''s just for filling your stomach, and it''s convenient. Along the corridors and walls of the small courtyard, there are mats and stools. Even when there are many people, those who can’t wait to find a seat will bring a bowl that is bigger than their face, find a corner, and sit half-squat and eat. Eating soup cakes, waiting for the last mouthful of hot soup, the internal organs are also groaning in comfort.


    Many people who don’t have a business at home are willing to come to Zuixianlou for dinner because Zuixianlou is willing to use oil. Even if it is the cheapest hot noodle soup, there will be a small spoonful of hot oil at the end.


    These oils are the by-products of cooking the dishes of the gentry children. For those gentry children, the fresh and delicious ones are the best, while the meaty and greasy ones are not liked.


    Like eating habits, the entertainment methods that gentry children like are also different from ordinary people. Various fighting games that are popular among gentry children are not applicable to ordinary people.


    Ordinary people still prefer simpler entertainment.


    For example, a book.


    There were also storytellers in the early Han Dynasty, but at that time there was no fixed pattern, and there were no so-called scripts. Most of the stories were stories compiled by the storytellers themselves, and most of them existed in the form of myths...


    And these fairy tales, Fei Qian thinks it is not suitable for storytelling.


    Storytelling, to put it in a small way, is a simple form of entertainment among the people, but if you stand taller and look farther, you can clearly see that this is actually the most convenient and least expensive way to open up people''s wisdom and spread cultural approach.


    The opening of people''s wisdom and the spread of culture are not like a wire with electricity. Press the switch there, and then there will be electricity here. This process of spreading is very long, and it is accompanied by uncertain changes. , so Fei Qian’s decision is a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, through various books, to spread some superficial scientific knowledge at the level of gentry and poor disciples. It is generally limited to the elementary schools of later generations, and at most no more than some basic knowledge of junior high schools in later generations. On the one hand, it is through storytelling to spread knowledge and culture to ordinary people, especially those who are inconvenient to concentrate on learning.


    Then under such a requirement, the mythological storytelling templates were naturally cut down.


    Although the public still has a high demand for mythological scripts, out of fear of life and death, many people like these stories of gods, gods and ghosts even in later generations, but these contents have little effect on the progress of science and the development of humanities. It doesn''t work very well.


    It''s like many people in the later generations of Liaozhai are interested in it and think it''s good, but more people learn about Liaozhai not to study the truth reflected in it, and the process of good people getting good rewards and evil people always getting bad rewards, but rather More tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk at the female ghost, the female fox...


    Superficial popular science books, Fei Qian has been printed and sold under the names of various people. In particular, the names of two masters of Fei Qian, together with Mr. Pang De, who was studying abroad, almost covered most of the basic subject areas.


    Astronomy and mathematics are written by Liu Hong and Xu Yue. Almost no one can refute them, especially for the records and analysis of stars and constellations. Whether they are really interested in these astronomy, or simply want to put on a "beep" at a party, they have promoted the transmission of this knowledge invisibly.


    Geography and world humanities are under the name of Cai Yong, with Cai Yan as annotations, printed and sold in the form of exotic records, and the sales are not low. This made Fei Qian somewhat relieved. The big man is now, perhaps because of the influence of some people like Su Wu Banchao before, or because of the stimulation of Fiqian''s re-opening of the Western Regions to communicate and trade. Anyway, this kind of books are very popular, and some are even the first Three or four editions...


    Physical and chemical aspects were triggered in the name of Mr. Pang De. Duke Pang’s academics belong to Huang Lao’s school. Although there are many thoughts of reclusiveness and seclusion in it, there are also many things related to basic physical chemistry, such as the golden elixir cultivation technique, which can be improved a little. A rough handbook of physical chemistry...


    Some simple diffusion of knowledge and technology will not pose any threat to Fei Qian under the current conditions.


    Because any scientific progress requires a foundational prerequisite. Under the current material conditions of the Han Dynasty, many knowledge and technologies that have spread out have no prerequisites at all, and they have not been realized in the original social environment of the Han Dynasty. possibility.


    In comparison, this kind of milder knowledge diffusion will actually lead many people who are interested in it and can delve into it to find that the only place where they can really realize their ambitions is—


    Chang''an.


    To put it simply, it is a limited export of technology and a large amount of export of culture. This is also done in many countries in later generations, and they use these exported things as bait to mobilize more manpower from other regions...


    It is only to train the children of the gentry. As a technical force, the poor students are still somewhat insufficient in number, so a large number of bases are needed, that is, ordinary people.


    One of the characteristics of agricultural society is that the news is mainly spread by word of mouth. The more sensational, the faster the explosive news will spread, and no matter whether it is the government or the gentry, when the news is like a wave, no one has enough means to deal with it. Immediately stop the spread of rumors, and in many cases can only let the rumors dissipate on their own.


    The same is true for the promotion of storytelling.


    After a period of experimentation, words that are more popular with ordinary people have gradually emerged. There are two categories...


    One category is naturally "the book has its own golden house", and the other category is of course "the book has its own Yan Ruyu".


    When these two contents were summarized to Fei Qian''s place, Fei Qian was also a little dumbfounded. Because of these two items, Fei Qian already knew about them from the beginning, and then went around a big circle to prove that there is not much difference between the common people of the Han Dynasty and the common people of later generations in terms of entertainment and gossip.


    So, the task of compiling the new storybook was handed over to someone living in the other courtyard of Zuixianlou, such as Zhang Sheng.


    Anyone who writes a book knows that sometimes he can’t write a sentence for a long time, and sometimes he can’t write a sentence in one breath, and sometimes he can’t even take care of eating. It is necessary for a writer like Zhang Sheng to write it as soon as possible. The centralized method is similar to a factory or a factory. The dormitory model obviously allows these writers to concentrate on writing books without being affected by trivial matters in life.


    The food and lodging is convenient when Zuixianlou comes, among other things, the kitchen can cook at any time within twelve hours. This standard is at least the treatment only available to the rich and wealthy in the big family. You can eat whenever you are hungry, and you are thrifty It’s up to people, anyway, it’s deducted from the salary, and if you don’t know yourself and exceed the standard, you won’t be approved, and you may be directly terminated from the contract, so generally there are no writers who have no inspiration, no ideas, etc. Greed for pleasure, deliberately procrastinating.


    After all, the previous model was to get a topic, go home and eat by yourself, but it is not as good as it is now.


    Although the previous model may save money, it is less efficient. After all, the people in the Guanzhong Sanfu area have basically left the hunger line and began to have some spiritual needs. If they are not replenished in time, then these spiritual needs The demand is likely to be seduced to some crooked aspects...


    What''s more, in addition to Guanzhong Sansuke, there are other areas that urgently need storytellers and new story books.


    At this moment, Zhang Sheng looked at the densely packed manuscript paper in front of him, let out a long breath, and moved his sore wrist. The paper he used was specially approved. As a price, all the papers were numbered, and how much he received and how much he used had to be registered, and even the waste paper could not be thrown away at will, otherwise there would be trouble.


    Brushes and ink are also available for use. The old bald brushes must be sent back to get new ones.


    Including the table in front of him and the mat under his buttocks, they are all high-end products with exquisite workmanship, and they are all used.


    Zhang Sheng picked up the manuscript, re-read the manuscript paper according to the number and order, and thought about changing some words and characters to make it closer to the colloquial language, so that ordinary people can hear it easily Understand.


    This is not an easy job. Those gentry children who are used to "Zhihu Zheye" don''t even bother to write such rough and white characters, and even feel that it is an insult to them...


    This article is not long, about ten days long. It tells the story of a young farm boy who accidentally got a medical book from the field when he was farming in the field, and then he found that the medical book could identify Materia Medica. And the identified vegetation just happened to be able to cure his father''s illness, so it became more and more out of control. He traveled all over the land of China, got to know various herbal medicines, and cured many difficult diseases, and finally found that this book was actually his father. What he wrote, because after his father died of illness, he vowed to cure all the ailments in the world, so he endured endless hardships, exhausted his life and finally wrote a book, and gave it to himself who didn''t understand anything at the beginning.


    This old-fashioned story in later generations has an extraordinary charm in the Han Dynasty. Even when Zhang Sheng got this idea, he praised it again and again, and even made the plot in the story more vivid and realistic. I also went to the Hundred Medical Center and asked the doctors a lot of questions to ensure that the medical methods written out were correct.


    Zhang Sheng was born in the Shoushan Academy, but his family background was not good, so he missed the golden memory time of children. When he got older, he got the opportunity to study, but found that his memory was not as good as those who were younger than him. and was ridiculed because of this, he wanted to give up at one point, giving up on himself, eating and drinking all day long and not wanting to study.


    Later he met Cai Yong, and was scolded by Cai Yong, and then he repented and cried bitterly...


    When writing this script, Zhang Sheng even had an idea, whether he would have the old self in the book, to give a book to his current self...


    After being in a trance and sighing for a while, Zhang Sheng tidied up the manuscript paper, then tidied up again, put his pen and ink utensils in his small bag, checked that there was nothing left behind, and then got up and left the guest room. Go out along the corridor to the first door, and show the wooden sign on the body to the guard standing at the door.


    The guard took a look and stepped aside.


    Zhang Sheng nodded slightly, and then walked in.


    In the room, sat a middle-aged man.


    『Third brother...』 Zhang Sheng sent the manuscript paper in his arms to the middle-aged man, and said, "It''s finished..."


    The middle-aged man smiled, "It''s still your brain, write fast..."


    The small courtyard behind the Drunken Fairy Tower has been fully booked. The houses in this corridor are also sometimes empty, sometimes full, and of course most of the time, they are full. There are several people like Zhang Sheng, who are responsible for writing some short stories into the storybook.


    If it comes out ahead of time and is well written, in addition to the basic remuneration, there are additional rewards. Of course, if the time limit cannot be written, the basic remuneration will be halved, and then extra time will be given. If you can''t write it out, then in addition to losing all the rewards, you will also lose the opportunity to follow up.


    People like Zhang Sheng are naturally more popular, and it will be easier to obtain follow-up cooperation opportunities.


    Zhang Sheng is in charge of writing, and the middle-aged man is in charge of preliminary review.


    In fact, the middle-aged people are responsible for two things. One is to find a suitable writer to change the outline of the story into a script, and the other is to conduct a preliminary review and submit it. About three days later, this newly released script will start to spread.


    The purpose of the review is mainly to prohibit excessive criticism and slander, so that there will be no attacks on someone or something in the script, or direct criticism of the court and the emperor.


    After all, Huaben is facing more illiterate people. These people are more vulnerable to some negative influences and agitations than ordinary gentry children. A little carelessness may cause troublesome changes.


    The quality of the storybook often depends on the progression of each chapter, and then some buttons can be left at the end of each key section, and they will be opened the next day...


    After flipping through it briefly, the middle-aged man nodded slightly.


    Zhang Sheng is an old hand. He didn’t touch some sensitive issues, such as the status gap between the gentry and the common people, and the difference in medical resources. Hard work may still not change anything, but if you don’t work hard, there will definitely be no change. This is also Zhang Sheng’s personal experience, and it is still himself who gives him adventures in the story, not some mountain spirits and wild monsters Millennium Fox...


    Cultivate this life!


    This is also consistent with the teachings of the five gods and supports each other.


    The middle-aged man accepted Zhang Sheng''s script with a smile, which meant that Zhang Sheng completed the business, and Zhang Sheng received his reward immediately.


    Holding the hard money bag in his bosom in one hand, and the rest of the pen and ink utensils in the other, Zhang Sheng walked down the small second floor, walked out of the courtyard door and walked home, passed the streets and alleys, and saw in the open space of Lifang, Then there was a storyteller who slammed the bamboo board, then thumped the tambourine twice, and said a short opening paragraph, which attracted the surrounding people to gather unconsciously...


    Zhang Sheng slowed down his pace slightly and smiled slightly.


    The storyteller saw and recognized Zhang Sheng, and nodded his head as a signal.


    Zhang Sheng also responded, walking in and out of the small courtyard, nodding acquaintances.


    Zhang Sheng continued to walk forward, vaguely heard the storyteller beating the tambourine again, and said loudly: "Today I want to talk about it, Changping Liehou scolded the evil slave, "Don''t bully the young and poor...""
