Chapter 2385 Don’t bully young people into poverty
Chang'an.
Zuixian Tower.
If there is any place in Han Dynasty that is the busiest at the moment, it is of course Chang'an.
And in Chang'an, which place is the busiest, naturally it is Zuixian Tower.
Qinglong Temple?
Qinglong Temple is lively during the day and almost empty at night, but here in Zuixian Tower, it is bustling and crowded no matter day or night.
Such a big piece of meat, flowing like gold every day, naturally attracted the eyes of the surrounding wolves, but no one dared to touch it, because some people said that Zuixian Tower had a backstage, a very solid backstage, some said it belonged to the Fei family
, some people say it belongs to the Huang family, and others say it belongs to the Webster family, but there has never been any confirmation, and no one has seen the real owner of this Zuixian Tower.
It's not that no one wants to move or give it a try, but since those people who want to move or give it a try, or their families, have fallen into something more troublesome than opening a restaurant for various reasons, 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 sex, and human beings' preference for delicious food, can be said to be common at all times and in all countries. As long as you can't help it for the first time, there will be follow-ups.
After countless times, only the word "True Fragrance" was left. With many fresh dishes, Zuixianlou has gradually become a super-large restaurant collection that integrates food, accommodation, entertainment and leisure.
Moreover, people themselves have a convergence effect. Even if some people resist, they will be more or less motivated when they see a large number of others going to Zuixian Tower. After going there once, they will be very excited.
It’s hard to say that I still have the strong willpower to refuse.
This is true for the children of the noble clan, and it is also true for ordinary people.
Zuixianlou is not like some restaurants in later generations that insist on being on a certain level. If the waiters cannot speak a perfect Xi Rong accent, they will lose face.
In Zuixian Tower, there is Zuixian wine worth tens of thousands of dollars per jar, and there is also all-you-can-eat hot noodle soup for three big dollars.
Well, of course, two years ago, a bowl of hot noodle soup only cost two grand.
Generally speaking, the tall building in 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, and snow-white bellies.
Mellow wine, of course, also represents a hefty price.
On the other side, around the courtyard on the second floor, more ordinary people came. Those who had some spare money entered the courtyard, or waited to go up to the second floor, sat down at the table, and ordered two-cent drinks.
With two bean dishes, you eat and drink slowly, and no one is urging you with a timer. When you finish eating, you can get a warm greeting before leaving, and the long shouts are no quieter than those in the tall buildings.
How many.
If you don’t have much spare money and just want to fill your stomach, it’s also convenient. Along the corridors and walls of the small courtyard, there are mats and benches. Even when there are many people, those who can’t wait to find a seat will pick up a table that’s bigger than their face.
Bowl, find a corner, half-squat, half-sit, and slurp the soup cake. When you take the last mouthful of hot soup, your internal organs will groan with comfort.
The reason why many people who don't have a meal at home are willing to come to Zuixianlou to eat is because Zuixianlou is willing to use oil. Even the cheapest hot soup noodles will always have a small spoonful of hot oil at the end.
These oils are all by-products of cooking the dishes of the nobles. For those nobles, fresh and delicious oils are the best, but they don't like oils that are fishy or greasy.
Just like their eating habits, the entertainment methods favored by the gentry children were also different from those of ordinary people. Various fighting games that were popular among the gentry children were not suitable for ordinary people.
Ordinary people still prefer simpler entertainment.
For example, books.
There were storytellers in the early Han Dynasty, but at that time there was no fixed model, and there was no so-called storybook. Most of the time, stories were compiled by the storytellers themselves, and they existed more in the form of myths...
Fei Qian believes that these myths and stories are not suitable for storytelling.
Storytelling, to put it simply, is just a simple form of entertainment among the people. But if you stand taller and take a longer view, you can clearly see that this is actually the most convenient and least expensive way to open up people's wisdom and spread the word.
cultural approach.
The opening of people's wisdom and the spread of culture are not like electrified wires. Press the switch over there, and then there will be current here. This process of spread is very long, and it is also accompanied by uncertain changes.
, so Fei Qian's decision was a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, through various books, some superficial scientific knowledge was spread among the gentry and poor disciples, which was generally limited to elementary schools in later generations, and at most no more than some basic knowledge in junior high schools in later generations.
On the one hand, it is to spread knowledge and culture through storytelling to ordinary people, especially those who are inconvenient to study together.
So under such requirements, the mythological storytelling templates were naturally reduced.
Although the public still has a high demand for fairy tales, due to the fear of life and death, many people like these stories of gods and ghosts even in later generations, but these contents are very important for the progress of science and the development of humanities.
It's not very effective.
Just like Liao Zhai in later generations, many people are interested in it and think it is good. However, more people know about Liao Zhai not to study the principles reflected in it and the process of good people getting good rewards and evil people always getting bad rewards.
More tuts at the female ghost, succubus and fox...
Fei Qian has been printing and selling superficial popular science books under the names of various people. Especially the names of Fei Qian's two masters, plus a traveling scholar Pang Degong, covering almost all basic subjects.
category.
Regarding astronomy and mathematics, it was Liu Hong who took the name and Xu Yue made the annotations. Almost no one can refute it, especially for the recording and analysis of star constellations. With the promotion of the new calendar, there are many nobles who have such "profound" knowledge.
People are interested in knowledge, whether they are really interested in astronomy, or simply want to make a "beep" sound at a party, they all promote the transfer of this knowledge invisibly.
The geography and world humanities were named after Cai Yong and annotated by Cai Yan. They were printed and sold in the form of exotic chronicles, and the sales were not low. This made Fei Qian somewhat gratified. At the moment, the big man,
Perhaps it was because of the influence of people like Su Wu Banchao, or perhaps it was stimulated by Fei Qian's reopening of trade and communication in the Western Regions. Anyway, books of this type have been widely sold, and some have even ranked third or fourth.
Version...
The content of physics and chemistry was inspired by the name of Mr. Pang Degong. Pang Degong’s academics belong to the Huang-Lao school. Although there are many ideas of doing nothing and hiding from the world, there are also many that involve basic physical chemistry.
Some things, such as some golden elixir cultivation techniques, can be slightly improved and become a rough physical and chemical manual...
The diffusion of some simple knowledge and technology will not pose any threat to Feiqian under current conditions.
Because any scientific progress requires basic prerequisites, under the material conditions of the Han Dynasty, much of the knowledge and technology that spread out has no prerequisites at all, and it was completely unrealized in the original social environment of the Han Dynasty.
possibility.
In comparison, this relatively mild diffusion of knowledge will actually lead to many people who are interested in studying this to discover that the only place where they can truly realize their ambitions and ideals is——
Chang'an.
To put it simply, they exported limited technology and exported a large amount of culture. This was also done by many countries in later generations, and used these exported things as bait to mobilize more manpower from other regions...
Just to train the children of noble families and poor students as a technical force, the number is still somewhat insufficient, so a large number of bases, that is, ordinary people, are needed.
One characteristic of agricultural society is that news is mainly spread by word of mouth. The more sensational, the faster explosive news spreads. And no matter whether it is the government or the gentry, when the news spreads like a wave, no one actually has enough means to stop it.
Stop the spread of rumors immediately. In many cases, you can only let the rumors dissipate on their own.
The same goes for the promotion of storytelling.
After a period of experiments, words that are more popular with ordinary people have gradually emerged. There are two major categories...
One category is of course "the book has its own golden house", and the other category is of course "the book has its own beauty like jade".
When these two items were summarized in Fei Qian's place, Fei Qian was also a little bit dumbfounded. Because in fact, Fei Qian already knew these two items from the beginning, and then went around in a big circle to confirm that the common people and people of the Han Dynasty were
In fact, there is not much difference between the common people of later generations when it comes to entertainment and gossip.
Therefore, the task of compiling the new storybook was handed over to someone living in the Zuixian Tower Villa, such as Zhang Sheng.
Anyone who writes a book knows that sometimes I can't write a sentence for a long time, and sometimes I want to finish it in one breath and don't even bother to eat. I want writers like Zhang Sheng to write it as soon as possible. It's centralized like a factory or
The dormitory model obviously allows these writers to concentrate on writing books without being affected by the trivial matters of life.
Zuixian Tower is convenient for food and lodging. Not to mention anything else, the kitchen can cook at any time for twelve hours. This standard is at least the treatment that only the local wealthy families of big aristocratic families have. There is always food when you are hungry. It is rich and frugal.
It’s up to the person, anyway, it’s deducted from the remuneration, and if you don’t know yourself and exceed the standards, you won’t be passed, and your contract may be terminated directly, so generally no writer can use reasons such as lack of inspiration, lack of ideas, etc.
Covet for pleasure and deliberately procrastinate.
After all, the previous model was to receive a question, go home and eat your own food, but the treatment was not as good as now.
Although the previous model may save costs, it is less efficient. After all, the people in Sanfu area of Guanzhong have basically left the hunger line and have begun to have some spiritual needs. If they are not replenished in time, these spiritual needs will be lost.
Demand is likely to be seduced into some twisted aspects...
What's more, besides Guanzhong Sanfu, there are other areas that are in urgent need of storytellers and newspeak books.
At this moment, Zhang Sheng looked at the densely written manuscript paper in front of him, took a long breath, and stretched his aching wrist. The paper he used was specially approved, and as a price, all the papers were numbered.
You have to register how much you receive and how much you use, and you can't even throw away the scrap paper, otherwise you will be in trouble.
Writing brushes and ink are also provided for use. The old bald-headed writing brush must be sent back so that you can receive a new one.
Including the desk in front of him and the mat under his buttocks, they are all finely crafted and high-end goods, and they are all for personal use.
Zhang Sheng picked up the manuscript, read it again in sequence according to the number, and thought about slightly changing some words and words to make it closer to colloquial language, so that ordinary people can understand it without effort.
Understand.
This is not an easy job. Those children of the gentry who are accustomed to "what they do" simply don't bother to write such rough words, and may even feel that it is an insult to them...
This article is not long, about ten days. It tells the story of a young farmer who accidentally got a medical book from the field while farming. Then he discovered that this medical book can actually identify materia medica.
And the identified plants and trees happened to be able to cure his father's disease, so he became more and more out of control. He traveled all over China, got to know various herbal medicines, and cured many difficult diseases. Finally, he discovered that this book was actually his.
He wrote it because after his father died of illness, he vowed to cure all diseases in the world, so he suffered endless hardships and spent his whole life finally writing a book and giving it to himself who didn't understand anything at the time.
This story, which seemed particularly old-fashioned in later generations, had extraordinary charm in the Han Dynasty. Even Zhang Sheng praised him repeatedly when he got this idea. He even went so far as to make the plot in the story more vivid and realistic.
I also went to the Baiyi Medical Center and asked the doctors many questions to ensure that the medical methods written out were correct.
Zhang Sheng was born in Moriyama Academy, but his family background was not good, so he missed the golden memory time of children. When he was older, he got the opportunity to study, but found that his memory could not compare with those younger than him.
I was a child, and I was laughed at because of it. I wanted to give up at one point, giving up on myself and eating and drinking all day long without wanting to study.
Later, he met Cai Yong and was scolded by Cai Yong. Then he repented and cried bitterly...
When writing this storybook, Zhang Sheng even came up with the idea of whether he would have the old self in the book to send a book to his current self...
After being in a daze and sighing for a while, Zhang Sheng tidied up the manuscript papers, then packed them up again, put all 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.
Walking along the corridor to the door of the first room, he showed his wooden sign to the guard standing at the door.
The guard took one look and stepped aside.
Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and walked in.
In the room, there was a middle-aged man sitting.
"Third brother..." Zhang Sheng handed the manuscript paper in his arms to the middle-aged man, "It's written..."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are smarter and can write faster..."
The small courtyard behind Zuixian Tower has been occupied. The houses in this corridor are sometimes empty and sometimes full. Of course, most of the time, they are full. There are several people like Zhang Sheng.
, are all responsible for writing some short stories into scripts.
Those who come out early and write well will receive additional rewards in addition to the basic remuneration. Of course, if they fail to write after the time limit, the basic remuneration will be halved, and additional time will be given. If you still pay
If you cannot write it out, in addition to losing all rewards, you will also lose follow-up opportunities.
People like Zhang Sheng are naturally more popular, and it will be easier for them to obtain subsequent cooperation opportunities.
Zhang Sheng was responsible for writing, and the middle-aged man was responsible for preliminary review.
There are actually two things that the middle-aged man is responsible for. One is to find a suitable writer to turn the story outline into a script, and the other is to do a preliminary review and then submit it. If everything is OK, then
In about three days, this new word will begin to spread to the outside world.
The purpose of review is mainly to prohibit excessive criticism and slander, so that the script does not appear to attack someone or something, or directly point the finger at the court and the emperor.
After all, Hua Ben faces more people who are illiterate. These people are more susceptible to negative influences and instigation than ordinary nobles. If you are not careful, troublesome changes may occur.
The quality of a storybook often depends on the progression of each story, and then at the end of each key section, some buttons can be left to be revealed the next day...
After reading through it briefly, the middle-aged man nodded slightly.
Zhang Sheng is a veteran, so he did not touch on some sensitive issues, such as the gap between the status of nobles and the common people, the difference in medical resources, etc. He only expressed the beautiful story of working hard to change himself, and even implicitly changing the fate of his "descendants". Hard work.
Maybe nothing can be changed, but if you don't work hard, there will definitely not be any change. This is also Zhang Sheng's personal experience, and the person who gives him the adventure in the story is still himself, not some mountain spirit and wild monster for thousands of years.
fox……
Repair this life!
This is also consistent with and mutually supportive of the teachings of the five gods.
The middle-aged man smiled and accepted Zhang Sheng's storybook, which meant that Zhang Sheng completed this business, and Zhang Sheng immediately received his reward.
Holding the hard money bag in his arms in one hand and carrying the remaining pen and ink instruments in the other, Zhang Sheng walked down the second floor of the small building, walked out of the courtyard gate and walked home. After passing through the streets and alleys, he saw in the open space in the inner square,
Then there was a storyteller, who banged the bamboo board with a snap, then banged the tambourine twice, and said a short opening line, which attracted the surrounding people to gather together unconsciously...
Zhang Sheng slowed down his pace slightly and smiled slightly.
The storyteller saw Zhang Sheng and recognized him, so he nodded.
Zhang Sheng also responded, walking in and out of the small courtyard, nodding to each other.
Zhang Sheng continued to walk forward, and vaguely heard the storyteller beating the tambourine again and saying loudly: "Today I want to talk about Changping Liehou scolding the evil slaves, "Don't bully young people to be poor..."
