"So, this time to promote the New Deal, the court does not rely on the government, but on us!" Zhu Zhen said loudly:
"And you don't have to come up with the lyrics yourself! I'll teach you a set of lyrics, you can memorize them, and then you can go around the streets and sing them to the people over and over again. I'm sure the publicity effect will be great!"
"Singing lyrics?" The beggars were greatly relieved. As a gangster, it would be great to have something ready-made.
"That's our gang leader's unique skill!" Shu Laibao hurriedly boasted: "With this skill, he can support the entire gang by begging for food!"
"So stupid?" The beggars' eyes immediately lit up. Who wouldn't want to learn such an awesome begging technique?
"Ahem," Zhu Zhen stopped Shu Laibao from bragging: "This is not a unique skill. It only works if no one knows it and it is fresh. If everyone knows it, the effect will not be that good. Of course it is better than The general who stretches out his hands must be much stronger."
"That's not bad..." The group of beggars were still interested, thinking that after we learn how to do it, we can go to other provinces to beg for food.
"Okay, my gang leader will teach you the secret skill of our beggar gang - Shu Lai Bao!" Lao Liu cheered up, pulled out a pair of bamboo boards from behind his buttocks, and started playing with them skillfully.
"First there were three queens, and the barbarians turned the world upside down. Fortunately, a saint named Zhu was born, who drove away the Tatars and reshaped the world!" After a verse, Lao Liu started to sing at the top of his voice. It's called a word. Straightforward and full of charm!
"Sage Zhu, he is not a mortal, he is the Jade Emperor who came down to the mortal world, and he is the patron saint of our people! He pitied our people's hard life, and he hated the big dogs for not being human, so he wanted to create a yellow book and clear out the fields again. The common people only have It’s a good thing, but the big owner is unhappy!”
Shu Laibao pretended to be a commoner and asked, "Why are the big families unhappy?"
"Because in the past, the government collected money from large households and helped them hide their fields from the court, allowing them to evade taxes year after year. However, the court's taxes and grains are fixed, and if there is less in the east, the west will make up for it, so we can only rely on the poor to make up for it. I will Ask if you are willing?"
"Of course I don't want to." Shu Laibao said: "My family's life is already hard, why should I pay more taxes?"
"That's good, that's right. Whoever owns more fields pays taxes, and whose owns less fields pays taxes. Why should I pay more taxes?" Lao Liu then continued:
"The purpose of cleaning up the parents-in-law and creating a pornographic book is to break up the chaos! There is no way to cheat in this way, and of course the big family will not be happy!"
"But this is a great thing for our people. From now on, we will pay less taxes and no longer have to worry about heavy taxes, let alone sell our sons and daughters to sell our land. We can finally look forward to this day!"
"Oh, this is such a good idea. We, the people, would like to thank the emperor for his kindness!" Shu Laibao said.
"Wait a minute, we're not done yet." Lao Liu finally sang: "If you want the yellow book to be really useful, the land must first be cleared! Whoever falsifies or cheats has a bad heart! Whoever speaks bad words and whoever blocks it is just following us. The opposing bastard, the bastard!"
"But if the old men are really messing around, what can we people do?" Shu Laibao finally asked.
"Don't be afraid, tell us, we will bring officials here tomorrow, confiscate his house and confiscate his fields, and the confiscated property will be half of yours!" Lao Liu replied.

In Prince Teng's Pavilion, the fourth child's neck could not help but follow the plank of the sixth child, stretching one after another.
"This guy is so awesome. How did he come up with such a method?" He looked incredulous.
"Your Highness, there is no need for you to count the treasures together." Luo Guanzhong said speechlessly.
"Oh, really? This thing is so magical." Lao Si quickly pressed his neck and said, "I couldn't help but start singing along."
"Yes, and the lyrics are extremely simple. As long as you are willing to memorize them, even the stupidest person can definitely memorize them all in one day." Luo Guanzhong said with a smile.
"But are these beggars willing to remember?" The fourth child was a little unsure.
"This is the only thing that your Highness need not worry about." Luo Guanzhong sighed secretly, thinking that your brother is best at manipulating people's hearts.
For example, I was fascinated by him. I hated him so much that I couldn't live without him...
~~
Lao Liu's method is very simple. Each person has a board and memorizes it section by section.
Those who can memorize the three sections proficiently before lunch can eat a high-quality meal with big fish and meat.
Those who memorize two sections will eat a large pot of meat and vegetables.
The only thing that I can recite is black steamed buns with cold water.
As for those who can't recite a paragraph, you'd better go out and beg for food.
By the time evening comes, the standards have been raised to the point where you can memorize them all, and then you can have a good meal.
And so on, in descending order.
On the second day, not only do you have to memorize the lyrics, but you also have to wear a wooden board. Only those who can play the wooden board and sing at the same time will be able to eat high-quality banquets.
On the third day, Li Jia system's libretto was taught again, and after another three days of practice, all the beggars who participated in the Beggar Clan Conference memorized the two librettos by heart. Of course, they were still not very skilled in cooperating with the board.
Just go back and practice slowly.
~~
In a blink of an eye, it was the night before the conference was over and everyone was preparing to take them home.
Lao Liu hosted a banquet for the thirteen gang leaders from each government in the palace. First, he encouraged them to do well, and second, he told them to always keep in mind the most important link of supervision.
"The biggest characteristic of our beggars is that they are undisciplined," Zhu Zhen said to the gang leaders while cutting meat from the roasted whole lamb: "It is inevitable to cheat and cheat."
"Yes." All the gang leaders nodded one after another: "As expected of the chief gang leader, he hit the nail on the head. These two points make people itchy to hate. Otherwise, how can you say that relying on a bunch of beggars will never achieve anything?"
"But now we have to rely on the help of beggars to ensure the publicity is in place." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "I can only count on you for this supervision work."
"Yes, we will definitely do our best." The gang leaders hurriedly responded.
"Fortunately, it's relatively simple to assess everyone." However, Zhu Zhen changed the subject and handed plates of barbecue to the gang leaders:
"I will rank you based on the overall performance of each government. Governments with smooth progress of the New Deal, few troubles, and good reviews from the work team will be ranked first, and those that are not will be ranked at the bottom."
After a pause, he threw out the bait that all the gang leaders had been thinking about and said: "The top ten can all become my king's escort officers like Shu Laibao. Of course, the higher the ranking, the higher the grade."
"If you can get first place, I will give you a hundred households!" He said to the gang leader who took the plate with both hands.
"Hey..." The gang leader suddenly felt that the weight of the plate was more than a thousand pounds, and he hurriedly held it with all his strength, fearing that he would drop his job.
"Even if you are ranked tenth, you are still a small banner official like Shu Laibao." Zhu Zhen smiled and pointed to the official clothes on Shu Laibao, and then said to him alone: "Of course, if you get the tenth place,
I will give you another level up."
"Thank you, Gang Leader." Shu Laibao was overjoyed immediately.
"What about the last three?" the gang leaders asked again.
"Of course there is nothing. The rule of my Prince Chu's Mansion is to raise cattle and dogs, not idlers." Zhu Zhen said lightly: "Of course, if everyone behaves well, I may still break the rules."
"General Gang Leader, look at it!" At this time, the enthusiasm of all the Gang Leaders was completely ignited. They all blushed and rolled up their sleeves and said: "I won't eat or sleep when I go back, and I will keep an eye on them day and night! Who dares to cheat?
