Chapter 166: White cats and black cats. Catching mice is a good cat. We are noble art!

After returning to the residence, the two of them had dinner together, Meng Haoran planned to visit the former site of Nanke Temple in the afternoon, while Tang Cheng went to the Observation Office to work.

The observation and envoys in Shandong Dongdao are much larger than the Jinzhou Prefecture. Although it has been more than ten days, Tang Cheng has not finished the observation and envoys in the end until now, but with his current duties, he does not need to be like this.

The blessing of the Eastern Army was entrusted by the Tang Chengzheng General, a small portal was placed at the core of the yamen. It was only a cup of tea for the adults' office. It was a small courtyard covered with green trees and covered with vines on the walls. In addition to two office rooms, the most commendable thing was that it had a reception hall.

At this point, since he embarked on the path of civil servants in the Yunxi County Government, Tang Cheng finally had the first real independent public office, and this was in the core area of ​​the yamen under the observation of the first road. This is a major leap.

With a quiet environment, a quiet courtyard, and these exquisite office equipment, if you only need to talk about office conditions, all this is really beyond words.

The only thing that is not very harmonious with this office environment is that there are too few people in this small portal. Now, even Tang Cheng, the "leader", has only two people. The only small soldier under him is Feng Haizhou who came from Jinzhou.

When he was transferred that day, Tang Cheng asked Feng Haizhou about his opinion. If he wanted to stay in the Jinzhou Yamen, Tang Cheng promised to recommend him to take over the position of Sitian Cao as the judge of Si. However, in the face of this famous Feique temptation, Feng Haizhou refused almost without thinking, but chose to follow his old boss to observe the Yamen.

Tang Cheng was naturally happy about his decision. After all, he had to go to a completely unfamiliar environment. He also had confidence in his heart if he could follow such an old subordinate. Feng Haizhou participated in his entire road construction process in Jinzhou. Now he still had such things when he was in the Tao. With his experienced subordinate like him, Tang Cheng could save a lot of effort.

When Tang Cheng nodded with a smile and asked why he was willing to come to Daocheng after leaving home, Feng Haizhou thought for a while and said, "It's a little tired to follow the adults, but he's really comfortable after doing something every day. He is not old yet, and he can't live the half-loose, half-busy and half-busy life anymore." At this point, Feng Haizhou suddenly smiled, "Besides, I want to follow and see, how much movement can the adults make in the end with making money with nothing?"

When Tang Cheng heard Feng Haizhou's words before, he was quite content with a smile. He had listened too much in management studies in later generations. Only a successful leader could make his subordinates busy. He was willing and loyal to follow him. Judging from this standard, I, the judge, was quite successful! Unfortunately, his good feeling didn't last long, and he was choked by Feng Haizhou's subsequent words so that he almost sprayed out a mouthful of tea.

He made a fortune! This is what he taught Feng Haizhou. But he really understood what this sentence means...

After entering the observation office, Tang Cheng sat down, he was still thinking about the things he was constantly thinking about on the way he came.

How can we build a suitable voice channel? This is the question that Tang Cheng has been thinking about since he left Heyuan in the morning.

He once thought: Why don’t we run a newspaper? It seems that other time travelers like to do this. This is to spread ideas and guide Shi Lin Feng. This is really the most commonly used by time travelers and also like to use land killing tools the most.

But after the initial impulse, Tang Cheng had to give up this attractive idea for two reasons. One is that it is technically troublesome. At present, this is the turn of the prosperous Tang Dynasty when woodblock printing was just emerging. movable type printing is far from appearing. If woodblock printing is expensive, it is a technical support for newspapers. When paper and ink prices are high, the cost will be astronomical. Even if he has the idea of ​​making technological innovations, how long will it take to turn clay movable type from invention to finalization? Mud movable type is simple, but it is not just made by just making a piece of mud pinch and burning, not to mention that when used with mud movable type, there must be other word detection tools such as a wheel.

What is the conscience of the world? Tang Chengzhen has never seen him before.

Putting aside these technical factors, the most deadly era did not have the social foundation for publishing newspapers at all. The illiteracy rate was too high. Most of the people were illiterate, so the newspapers were printed, so it would be a big deal if someone could read them.

Well, even if you lose money and print it and distribute it to those scholars for free, the effect is very limited. Not to mention whether ordinary scholars can accept his new thing. Even if they accept it, it will be useless if they can't control the right to speak. The most likely result is that after spending a lot of money to get this thing, it will not be as good as the words posted by He Zhongda and others when they evaluate it.

OK! If I don’t send it to the East Shandong, I will spend a lot of money to send it to the capital. That’s useless. Nowadays, anyone with some reputation in the capital and who has the right to speak can receive many books of scholars from all over the country in a day. They can’t even read this, and they are not patient to read it. They can still pay attention to this newspaper?

After comprehensive consideration, Tang Cheng came up with a result. The result of running a newspaper was very likely that he spent a lot of money, but he was eventually regarded as a clown who wanted to become famous and crazy, and was praised very badly in Shilin.

If running a newspaper doesn’t work, the results of publishing books and poetry collections are not much different from this one. Tang Cheng really couldn’t find a way that suits the current characteristics of the times for a while.

When Tang Cheng was thinking about this, Feng Haizhou walked in from outside, "Sir, this is the official document sent by the government offices of the Fangzhou official road nearby."

Seeing the feathers on the documents Feng Haizhou was still stained with feathers, Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing out loud, "What's the matter so urgent? Even the feather book has been prepared!"

"Feather books fly over the vast sea, and hunting fire shines on the wolf mountain." In the Tang Dynasty, if the transmission of urgent items was an urgent item, a few bird feathers were pasted on it, which was a feather book, similar to the express delivery of later generations. This was originally a habit of sending emergency military books in the army, but later it gradually became fascinated into the local administrative system. However, in this period of time, it was rare to use this between the yamen.

"I have read it. The meaning of these documents is the same, just urging the adults to leave quickly. I don't know yet. These states are different from our Jinzhou. The governors are the governors himself." Feng Haizhou smiled and put the official documents in front of Tang Cheng, "Since you have started, you have started. Now those near the state governments know that the road construction is a fat man, otherwise these envoys would not be so anxious."

"This is a good thing. Since they are so enthusiastic and anxious, then our business is easy to handle." Tang Cheng laughed at the sound of the words and then asked, "By the way, I have sent a letter to the big merchants in those states."

"I sent it four days ago, now I guess they should have received it."

"That's good. Let's do the preparations ahead. Then you can be calm if you go on."

Feng Haizhou nodded and handed over another stack of things. When Tang Cheng saw that these were invitations attached to the famous thorns, "What does it mean?"

"These are all places to invite adults to the banquet," Feng Haizhou turned his head and signaled the big office opposite. "There is still a lot of empty space there, and these people are all here."

Yu Dongjun gave Tang Cheng six places and specially allowed him to choose his subordinates. But he only brought Feng Haizhou. Speaking of which, there were five vacancy items in his small portal. On the same day, there were people who rushed in with the Yunxi County government, not to mention the observation and jail. Obviously, these people wanted to go through his portal to find vacancy items for their nephews and relatives.

"Now that I have this idea, let's go first, at least wait until we come back from below," Tang Chengxin threw the invitation to the side, shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine with others trying to come in here. I'm fine. He said he's here, but he hasn't arrived in the past few days!"

"It is difficult to explain the matters on the road construction side, so it is difficult for him to leave." Feng Haizhou said, and then he wanted to turn around and go out.

Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this. Zhang Zishanfu took over the road construction matter, there must be many unclear things that need to be consulted by Zhang Xiangwen, so he delayed him in Jinzhou. "Wait for two more days. If he doesn't come again, he won't wait. Haizhou, please reply to the provincial government below. Let's say we will leave in two days."

Feng Haizhou nodded and went out. These business tasks were just to draw the cat and tigers. Tang Cheng didn't take it too seriously. After pulling the rope and letting the servants deliver the tea, he sipped the tea in small mouthfuls while thinking about the channels for speaking out.

Unfortunately, until the bell of the scattered yamen rang, there was still no clear idea.

When Tang Cheng and Feng Haizhou returned to their residence together, Meng Haoran had not come back yet. He had just had dinner, and the waiter took Guan Guan in.

"Acheng, why do you stay in the inn?"

"Laifu, use the Mengding stone flowers we brought to make a bowl of tea, and then send four fresh fruits to the cabinet." After giving Laifu instructions, Tang Cheng asked Guan Guan to sit down and said with a smile: "This time I was too anxious to transfer to Daoya. Before I could buy a house, Ying Wan was pregnant and was not inconvenient to do these things. I could only make some time in the inn."

Lai Fu was dismissed by the Ma Mansion. After resting in Xiaotao for a while, he asked through Lancao to lock him up and listen to the service. Tang Cheng saw that others were smart and tight-mouthed, and his background was not easy to use in Jinzhou Mansion. Therefore, when he came to Daozhou this time, he brought him together and made a long-super. After more than ten days, it was really easy to use.

"English sisters are pregnant! I really want to congratulate you." Guan Guan lowered her head when she said this, so she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. When she raised her head again, she was already smiling.

After saying some homely gossip, Lai Fu brought it in with a tea cup. When Tang Cheng distributed the tea to Guan Guan, he asked about her career in Daocheng with a smile.

"I don't know how to do anything else. Sitting on the empty stomach is not a way. I'm thinking about opening a garden in Liulinfang," Guan Guan said, and glanced at Tang Cheng when he took the tea cup in his hand. After seeing that he did not show any disgust, he quietly breathed in his heart, "When I met you this morning, I was back from the western market and bought some things to prepare the garden I just found."

Tang Cheng knew that the garden that Guan Guan mentioned was a brothel. Although he was a little surprised when he heard this news, he was not surprised. As for the disgust that Guan Guan was worried about, he was even less aware. He was not a Taoist scholar, and he was not as good as his future generations these days. It is a very admirable thing for a woman to be brave enough to be independent.

"Well, there is something to do. It's not all about making money..." When Tang Chengzheng said this casually, his heart suddenly moved, and after thinking hard for most of the day, things suddenly became triggered.

Yes, brothel! Isn’t this a ready-made good way? Speaking of which, it is a well-deserved first place to make a significant contribution to the spread of Tang poetry. This brothel is truly the best place to be the first. Because when the brothel women were drinking with guests, all the accompanying poems were singing. This is also the origin of the allusion "The Painting Wall of Chess Pavilion". Countless famous works have been spread all over the world through this method. The most famous example is Wang Weidi’s song “The Rain in Weicheng is Light Dust”. This famous song is almost a must-sing song for pedestrians during the Tang Dynasty when they bid farewell. It is popular and well-known.

Can you still not understand if you are illiterate? Besides, it is easier to accept than cold words on paper when you are lying on the poem with beautiful melodies?

As soon as the inspiration was opened, Tang Cheng thought more and more, especially after thinking about the example of "writing lyrics by orders Liu Sanbian", he knew with certainty that this sudden whim would work.

"Where there is a well water drinking, you will be able to sing Liu's lyrics." Liu Yong, who was almost the same era as Su Shi, Wang Anshi and others, was so popular and had such a great influence among the people. The reason why his lyrics are so popular and have such a great influence is not that his lyrics are better than King Su's, but because he has a larger channel of voice. This channel of voice is brothel.

It was through the singing of prostitutes and then the word-of-mouth of visitors that Liu Yong's lyrics were spread to Bianliang, to the Song Dynasty, and to the distant mountains and deserts. Although time was not so fast, the transmission path was similar to that of the popular songs in later generations.

Compared with the idea of ​​running newspapers and publishing books, using brothels as a voice channel to express themselves more closely with the world and secular world of the specific era. If He Zhongda and others were talking far away and mastering the influence of Shilin from top to bottom, then brothels can be said to be a subversion of this authority. It just follows the path of bottom to top and influence from the people to the Shilin elite class.

One is that cities affect the countryside, and the other is that the countryside surrounds the city. No matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, as long as it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat.

Tang Cheng was halfway through his words, and Guan Guan, who had taken a sip of tea, raised his head and called softly: "Acheng..."

"Wait, I'm thinking about something very important." After replying casually, Tang Cheng was excited and sinking into this sudden inspiration again.

It is not without drawbacks to go this path. The same Liu Sanbian is the best example. Although he is well-filmed, he is so close to brothels that he has become a boring and vain scholar in Shilin and even the emperor. Therefore, although he is famous all over the world, he is very promising in his career. If he really turns out to be the same as his, he will be a mistake.

Is there any way to make full use of the benefits of this channel without harming it?

Tang Cheng frowned slightly and thought, holding the teacup in his hand, Guan Guan was staring silently in contemplation. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very silent.

After a long time, Tang Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he laughed and stood up, "Guan Guan, how can I do this business with you?"

Guan Guan, who suddenly avoided his eyes, suddenly said in surprise: "You are with me? Ah, your identity..."

"What is my identity? Besides, what we are going to do is not an ordinary brothel."

"Not an ordinary brothel?" Guan Guan became more and more confused as he listened, "Acheng, what do you mean?"

"If we say that other gardens are brothels, then our garden is a noble club." Tang Cheng's inspiration jumped in his mind and laughed: "Our garden only sells art but not self-portraits, and he is following the path of noble art."

"This...Acheng...is there is still someone here."
