The departments next door of the courtyard poked their heads out, without asking more questions, congratulations. The craftsmen in charge of leaf springs, like those who improved spinning wheels and looms, held their heads with pride and shouted at the people next door: "You guys keep busy! We're going to have a rest!"

Those people in the departments such as "iron-cutting knife", "thin filament slug tube", "silver mirror", "cannon bed" looked envious. After envious, they returned to their own courtyard.

…………

It's night.

More than a hundred people included the largest wine shop in Peiyi. The inner guards, who were under the red armband, were patrolling normally on the streets, but in fact, at least thirty people were deployed near the wine shop.

Everything seemed normal and the traffic was busy, but some merchants who were preparing to eat here left in disappointment.

This is the most lively area in Peiyi, not only because it is close to Sishui, with many wine shops, and the Jinxing and Exchange are nearby, but also because Peiyi's "People's Theater" is also nearby.

With the increase in productivity in Sishang and the development of a large number of industry and commerce, the urban culture has also begun to enrich.

The Mo family was not happy, but after Mozi passed away, the person in charge of Xuanyi's department was very suitable, and many things were corrected.

From "non-joy" to the result to "non-joy" to the means, from being non-joy to why not being non-joy, since he proposed the statement that "the different means at stages are for the purpose of benefiting the world", many things naturally become dissatisfied.

At this time, the music level in the world was already very high. The five notes of Gongshangjiao and Zhengyu, plus the twelve average rhythms had already appeared. The Mohist actually "destroyed" many countries in Si, and all kinds of musical instruments were complete.

Someone once said that seeing how transcendent the Mohist family was, you can tell by looking at the "People's Theater" in Peiyi.

At the beginning, he was in charge of the Xuanyi Department. He adopted many propaganda methods to penetrate the people. In addition to oral and reasonable paper-and-brush propaganda, the "singing" and "drama" that the people liked have also become propaganda methods.

The People's Theater was built under this premise.

If so many musical instruments were wasted, wouldn't it be a pity? They were used to cast cannons, so the most ritual and music scene in Si Shang often appeared in the People's Theater.

Not only are there acting, but also organize large-scale symphonic music performances such as chimes, sheng and flute, and ocarina from time to time. The so-called "I can't watch the princes, but I can't watch it"?

That was a very interesting place. There were always many people from all schools of thought that went to Si Shang to debate, study, and find fault. However, when Confucian disciples came to Si Shang, they always bypassed the most prosperous streets and were even more unlikely to enter the theater.

The theater can accommodate many people, which is also a landmark building in Peiyi. What is even more interesting is that there is a half "couplet" posted at the door of the theater.

The first stanza describes "The eight verses dance in the courtyard, which is tolerant."

Two years ago, several Confucian scholars wrote such a big-character poster on paper and posted it at the door of the theater to show their anger, which seriously hurt their beliefs and feelings, and they had organized people to protest at the door of the Xuanyi Department.

The people from Xuanyi tribe were also interesting. They came forward to send a musket to each of the protesting Confucian disciples and gave them four hundred dollars, saying that the three families divided Jin and Tian family more serious than this. The Mohist family respected your beliefs very much. They decided to send you guns, gunpowder and travel expenses. They could also send you to Linzi, Anyi, Zhongmu and other places. If you think guns are not a gentleman's art, you can also give you bows.

As a result, someone really dared to take it off, and immediately cursed: "The matter is serious. You are more gentle than the three families who divide Jin and Tian family into Qiqi, but you can't prove that what you did is right."

The others did not dare to go, but there were three of them who were very kind and immediately received the money and gunpowder and went to Weidu on their own.

Wearing a high crown, he knew he would die, he was still dressed and shouted the slogan "Wei Zong's ruthlessness" and assassinated the carriage of the Marquis of Wei.

As a result, he was arrested and then dismembered by five horses, which is really heroic.

At that time, it was a delicate period of the relationship between the Mohist and Wei. At that time, the Wei State was afraid that the Mohist family would do their best to intervene in Wei and Chu's intervention in the battle between Chen and Cai, so after killing the person, he hurriedly sent someone to Si Shang with gifts, saying that after careful interrogation, it was confirmed that the Confucian scholar's self-action. Wei Hou believed that this matter had nothing to do with the Mohist family, and would never think that it was the Mohist school sent to assassinate because of this, and hoped that the Mohist family would rest assured that this matter would never affect the signing of the two parties' alliance to stop the war between Yangcheng and Linqiu.

As for the big-character poster posted on the theater wall, the Mohist family did not pick it up, but preserved it.

This is equivalent to someone scolding the Mo family for not being too timid. As a result, the Mo family was overjoyed and said that not only was it shameless, but also hoped that the people in the world would be shameless. Then, the shameless now is the shameless future. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

He also believed that whether he was learning characters at that time was taught to others to read, so the original "not" literacy became the "most" literacy, and this is the same.

With the emergence of paper, "couplets" such as "couplets" originated from the Book of Songs but also different styles of parallelism have emerged, especially when the Mohist school posted couplets in various public agencies - in charge of Xuanyi Department, and he had done a lot of things that he thought Zhuxia should have, and posting couplets is one of them.

It is also because of the couplets everywhere on Si, setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, and when people elsewhere come and see, they feel like unknown barbarians. The rumors about the barbarians in the Mo family are not all groundless, so why are they posting couplets? At this time, there is no such custom in the world.

The big-character poster was regarded as the first stanza of the theater couplet. Xuanyi tribe spent ten golds to ask for the next stanza, and for a while, the rumors were heard and talked about.

If you are willing to think about it, you may not care about the ten golds, but about the spread of reputation. However, until now, there is no suitable second verse. However, from time to time, someone writes it and posts it on the wall on the other side, and many of them have been hung.

At this time tonight, Ximen Tsui, who had a falling out with his father, came to Si Shang to study from Yedi, also carried a picture he wrote, signed his name below, and made some paste with a few classmates. He took advantage of the time to watch the show tonight and prepared to post it.

"The Nine Alps play on all stages, and they are both true and false."

There were a few people who were reading the other posts next to them, reading the second verse of Ximen Teng, nodding and shook their heads.

At this time, the people who performed by Zhu Xia were called Lingyou, and the Mohist school was very revisionist in the matter of Feile. They simply called singing, playing, street performing, and playing..... There were nine types, and they were called Jiuling. It was not an insulting title, but a normal title, along with workers, merchants, farmers, soldiers, etc.

The people on Si like street lecture notes and like to show off in front of everyone. Ximen Tiao didn't care about the attention of the eyes next to him. However, the person next to him said, "It's not neat, and the idea is not high, and the realm is insufficient."

"I have also thought that this next chapter is best to use the Confucian scholar's eight verses to dance in the court. It is unbearable and the intention should be similar to the artistic conception of 'Everyone is equal'."

"Your pair seems to be good, but it doesn't fit. This idea is in line with the theater, but it doesn't fit with the 'abortion of rituals'."

Ximen Tiao smiled and said, "It's just a whim and it's fun to write."

The man who spoke next to him looked at Ximen Lu, looked at the clothes he was wearing, which was Qingqing Zijin, and asked with a smile: "Student from the Sutra? Which department is from?"

Ximen Ting hurriedly said, "Academic Arts, from the Western Languages ​​Department. How dare you ask?"

The man opposite said with a smile: "You are going to learn from Mr. Solu's journey to the West for thousands of miles to travel to the Western Regions? I am from the Department of Chemistry. From your accent, you came from studying abroad, right?"

Ximen Tiao said a little, a little envious, but also smiled: "Where did we come from outside to study, and where can we get into the Academy of Physics? I came from Yecheng."

The man said yes, "Isn't that where Ximen Bao governs Hebo? I learned it when I was in school."

Ximen Tsui didn't say that Ximen Bao was his father, but just nodded and said enviously: "I heard that people in the chemistry department all followed the first few disciples of the Giant. What do you feel after studying this period?"

The man sighed and said sincerely: "I can die in the morning and die in the evening. It turns out that the huge and extremely small are so similar. The sun, moon, stars, and atoms of all things are really interesting. I can't extricate myself from indulging in myself... I think the series I have learned is the most interesting. If you have time, you might as well listen to it and discipline you to open your eyes. It turns out that this is the case."

Ximen Tsui smiled but said nothing, thinking that I have seen many such people, including me, all of them think that the knowledge they have learned is the most interesting. When I arrived at Si Shang, I realized that the world I knew was not right at all, and there were too many shocking things.

Besides, I can’t finish learning the languages ​​of the Western Regions, so where can I have time to listen? The teacher from Persian and Greek countries is now speaking well in Si Shang, but it is still very troublesome to learn. It is both negative and positive, so it’s a headache to think about it.

While talking, the previous performance should have ended. A group of people rushed out of the theater. Several of them came out with their arms around each other, and they were having a drink together while talking. They were talking about the performance just now.

"Hey, that Handan Ji is so strong, I'm so itchy in my heart."

"I heard before that this woman who danced on tiptoe wears very little, and she doesn't wear anything inside. Once she turns around, she can see the flesh inside. She wears a lot of clothes!"

The man next to him laughed and scolded, "This is not in the South China Sea. Now it's winter. If you want to get itchy, just find someone to get married. You who make money in the South China Sea are the good son-in-laws now. This time you have transported so many "long-term workers" back and made a lot of money, so you have also paid a lot, right?"

When Ximen Tiao heard the word "Changgong", he couldn't help but frown...

Changgong is the name of "people" brought back by those who entered the southern part of Chu and Vietnam.

It is said that it is a long-term worker, but it is more like a plundered slave, but it has no identity as a slave and is equal on the surface.

Si Shang lacks people, what is lacking is cheap people, what is lacking is cheap...labor.

For the sake of troops and stability, the basic farmer in Si Shang cannot be moved.

But for the development of industry and commerce, a large amount of cheap labor is necessary.

Those who went to the south of Chu and Yue to engage in "trade" have heard of Ximen Teng's means of making money.

More than 400 people once shouted, "The barbarian city-state has slavery, which is not good for people and harms the world." So they started a war with cannons and fired down a country that was still in the early bronze civilization... "Confiscated" the gold in the palace, and then shot all the cultural classes, nobles and priests in that small country in the name of harming the world, completely destroying the culture, words, legends, history, and all bronze ware that record civilization were printed and melted.

This incident had spread in Si Shang for a long time and triggered extremely heated discussions.

The Nanhai Trading Company led by the Mohist family has been constantly colonizing and immigrating, which inevitably leads to some dirty transactions, and they all turn a blind eye to each other.

"Chang-term workers" are the kind of things that require one eye to close. There are many tribes in the South China Sea, collectively known as Fulou. The colonial and trading companies in the South China Sea do such a thing there: selling guns, swords, handicraft products, and then the slaves captured by various states fighting and fighting, and the trading companies then charge them at a low price: the price is relatively not low, but the price is... a musket is exchanged for two people, and it is a big deal to hire someone to do half a year of work after getting a musket on Si.

Now that the city-states in the South China Sea have just appeared, war has begun all day long, and those merchants are taking advantage of the profits and waiting to win people.

After redeeming the person, you said that we paid for you and you had to sign a contract, work hard, and you will be free after ten years.

After freedom, you will be distributed to you land and farm tools, and you will be given a sum of money for reclamation. Why didn’t you give money to you every month before?

The main thing is to "save money". I am afraid that you will spend all your money and have no capital to make a living in the future. I will save it for you first...
