At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 257, Copyright and Royal Private Property
Fusu said disdainfully: "You did something evil in Chang'an City, and the Han officials came to see you, right?"

Rather than believing that Hu Hai was talented, Fusu believed more that Hu Hai was doing evil in Chang'an City and was discovered by Han officials who came to visit him. If the Han Emperor really wanted to kill him, Hu Hai would not be able to escape at all.

Hu Hai immediately said: "Absolutely not. I am self-aware and don't dare to do anything illegal."

Then Hu Hai thought of something and suddenly realized: "It turns out that my brother is right. Emperor Han just wanted to see our brothers suffer to satisfy his desire for revenge. My younger brother made money in Chang'an City, and Emperor Han was not satisfied, so he If you find someone to beat me and destroy my theater, you really can’t go to Chang’an City.”

Fusu said: "Don't think nonsense. You go back to your home first, and I will go to Chang'an City to inquire about the news."

Hu Hai said: "My home is no longer safe. I want to stay at your brother's house. If something happens, it will be easy to run away."

Fusu had no choice but to agree and took Hu Hai to his home. At home, Montessori was weaving, and several children were studying in the yard.

When they saw Hu Hai, they were surprised and said, "Uncle, you are back."

After Fusu's brother left, his children's playmates have decreased a lot.

Hu Hai smiled and said, "I'm back to see you."

Fusu said: "You stay here first, I will go to Chang'an City to find out the news."

But as soon as Fusu walked out, he saw Li Zheng coming with several Han officials.

Fusu was a little surprised, but when he saw Fusu, he said, "Master Zhao, this is a Shangguan from Chang'an. He said he came to see your brother Hu Hai."

Now that this was the case, Fusu had no choice but to welcome these Han officials into his yard.

Although he didn't know what exactly Hu Hai did in Chang'an City, he knew that the Han Emperor had no time to deal with them, and Hu Hai did not dare to commit any big trouble.

The official Hu Hai saw was the one who beat him. He was so frightened that he screamed on the spot: "Don't hit me, don't hit me."

This made the Han official look embarrassed and said: "We are not here to beat you, but to apologize."

Then the Han officials from the opera troupe saluted Hu Hai and said, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't beat you. This is our apology gift and compensation."

I saw a man from the opera troupe take out a letter of rock candy and 500 yuan and hand it over.

Only then did Hu Hai react and said, "I'm sorry!"

Then he said in surprise: "I just said that I didn't break the law and you hit the wrong person."

He said angrily: "I don't accept my apology. No one has ever hit me in my life, my father~~~."

"Ahem!" Fusu immediately coughed twice and interrupted Hu Hai's words.

Hu Hai immediately reacted and said: "My father and mother have never beaten me."

Fusu asked, "Although my brother is naughty, he has been timid and afraid of getting into trouble since he was a child, but he doesn't know how he offended the two of you?"

The official of the opera troupe said: "Your brother runs a theater in Chang'an City, but all the songs he sings are compiled and practiced by my opera troupe. It seems that this brother has also studied. If you write an eternal article, but it is How would you feel if someone else signed it? "

Fusu suddenly realized: "That's it."

Fusu apologized and said, "Don't worry, my brother will no longer use your opera troupe's operas. From now on, I will let him stay at home and farm, and I will not let him go to Chang'an City again."

The official of the opera troupe said anxiously: "Don't, don't, because His Majesty is very angry about this matter and wants us to obtain the victim's forgiveness, otherwise we will be severely punished."

"Your apology is not enough. My theater can make thousands of dollars a day. Now because your tables and chairs have been broken, the theater has been forced to close."

Fusu glared at Hu Hai, who was immediately frightened.

Then Fusu said: "Representative Hu Hai accepts your apology."

The two said gratefully: "Thank you, brother."

Then the two of them looked at Hu Hai and said, "Your Majesty has given an order to convene all theater owners in Chang'an City to discuss opera issues. If you want to continue opening your theater, you must return to Chang'an City to see His Majesty."

When Hu Hai heard that he was going to see Xu Fan, he was frightened and said: "I won't go to see your majesty."

Another opera troupe official said: "It's wrong for someone to beat you, but it's also wrong for you to use our opera troupe's plays without our consent. If you don't go, this theater may not be able to open."

"You are lucky enough to meet His Majesty. There is nothing to be afraid of." Another Han official said.

Fusu said: "My little brother has been timid since he was a child and dared not see His Majesty. It doesn't matter that the theater is not open. Thank you two brothers for informing me."

"It's up to you." The two opera troupe officials only came to inform Hu Hai. It was not up to them to decide whether he should go or not.

Then the two left here.

After the two of them walked away, Hu Hai's fear disappeared. He patted his thigh and said, "Such a good way to make money is cut off."

He would never dare to go to Chang'an City to meet Xu Fan.

Then he skillfully picked up the thousand dollars left by the official just now, opened the paper wrapping the rock candy and said in surprise: "It's actually rock candy. At least they are somewhat sincere. Yu'er, come here, uncle will treat you to some rock candy."

Several children surrounded Hu Hai in surprise. They had never eaten sweets since they left Chang'an City, and it was difficult for children of their age to refuse rock candy.

Fu Su said: "You should stay in Zhao Li from now on, so that you don't have to deal with Han officials."

Hu Hai disagreed and said: "It's pointless to stay here. Staying here for one day is equivalent to staying for a lifetime. I don't want to stay here. Chang'an City is so lively and there are so many opportunities. I made hundreds of thousands of dollars this month. In Zhao Can I do it here? If the theater can't be opened, I can find another opportunity, which is better than being a farmer here. "

Fusu shook his head and said, "Whatever you want."

The next day, Xu Fan met with more than thirty theater leaders from the entire Chang'an City at Xianyang Palace.

Unlike Hu Hai who was afraid to see Xu Fan, these class leaders knew that the emperor helped them teach the Han officials who beat them and forced them to apologize to them. In line with the idea that the people should not fight with the officials, these class leaders accepted the apology and compensation from the Han officials.

But I was still very grateful to the emperor for upholding justice for them. Therefore, not only were they not afraid of the emperor, but they were extremely excited and proud. Being able to enter the palace was a life worth living for them.

"Your Majesty has arrived." A guard shouted.

Xu Fan walked into Xianyang Palace wearing ordinary clothes.

These class leaders immediately knelt down to Xu Fan and saluted excitedly: "The common people respectfully welcome your Majesty, and may my emperor live long!"

Xu Fan smiled and said: "There is no need to be so polite. I came here today just to say something."

"First of all, I want to apologize to everyone. This emperor is not strict in discipline, which is why you are hurt."

The class leaders immediately said excitedly: "I am also at fault in this matter, and all the superiors have already apologized and made amends. We have accepted it, and we will never dare to ask His Majesty to apologize again."

Xu Fan nodded and said: "That's good."

"The things mentioned later are also related to you. If you have a good reputation, your words will not be right. After all, the plays you sang in the theater were painstakingly compiled and rehearsed by our Dahan Opera Troupe. These pieces belong to our Dahan Opera Troupe. This is I think everyone agrees."

When Xu Fan said this, many troupe leaders were shocked. They originally thought that Xu Fan, the emperor, would not care about such a trivial matter. But if we really dig deeper, the plays they sing do belong to the theater troupe.

The class leader said helplessly: "We agree that this is a matter known to the world. Your Majesty has spoken. When I go back, I will never sing anything related to the opera troupe."

They said this with bitterness on their faces. The form of opera has only appeared in the past few years, and the most classic pieces are all written by opera troupes. If they didn't sing these plays, the theater's income would plummet. Xu Fan continued: "I have also inquired about it. Singing opera is a means for you to support your family. Although I am the emperor, I cannot destroy your jobs like this.

Do you think this is okay? If you sing our opera troupe's plays, you will pay 1 yuan for each script, or % of the profit earned by the opera as script fees. After paying this fee, you will be paid, and you will be paid in the theater. I can sing this opera now. And my big man's opera troupe got the money, and their hard work was also rewarded. This is a win-win thing, what do you think? "

Xu Fan ordered people to inquire about the income of these theaters. A small theater can make tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars a month. It can make millions of dollars in a year. The ten thousand households in the Han Dynasty can only make so much.

It can only be said that at this time, the Han people were very eager to have their own entertainment activities, and opera made their inner desire burst out, so these theaters could not be closed, because the establishment of the opera troupe could not expand too much, otherwise the imperial court would Unbearable.

Knowing that these were all wealthy people, he set this standard. The wealthy theaters would pay 1 yuan to buy them out, and the small theater troupes without money would hand over % of their profits.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Fan said these words, the troupe leaders around him knelt down in surprise and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me and other common people a bite to eat."

Xu Fan said: "You don't have to kneel down. You can write your own operas in the future, and you can also sell them to other opera troupes, even my big man's opera troupe. In this way, you can make money even if you don't have to sing an opera yourself."

These class leaders were moved when they heard this, but soon they thought that if they wanted to write an opera, they would have to find a novelist. They were scholars from hundreds of schools of thought, so how could they like them?

"Rushu!"

"The minister is here."

"I appointed you as the opera commander, with a salary of 2000 shi, and you will be responsible for the copyright disputes of novels and operas in the world. You can discuss the copyright laws with the novelist."

Lu Shu said excitedly: "I accept the order!"

He finally became a high-ranking official with an income of 2000 shi. According to the standards of the Han Dynasty, only 2000 shi can be considered as a minister, and he can be regarded as the top official in the world. Although he is only the foundation of a high-ranking official, he can have the future as a pig farmer. , the ancestral graves are already smoking.

After these troupe leaders left the palace, they immediately returned to their troupes and transported all their belongings to the troupe's official office.

"Captain Chen, this is 5 yuan. It is the copyright fee for our Qingyu Theater to purchase "Chu Zhaonu", "Alive", "The Fairy Match", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" and "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl". In the future, our theater will sing these five songs again. Duan Xi is paid for.”

"The copyright fee of Yinghan Theater is 10 yuan, "Chu Zhaonu", "Alive", "A Fairy Match", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", "Brothers and Sisters Come to Farm", "Postpartum Care of Sows"~~~, etc. We bought all the opera troupe’s plays.”

In this way, intermittently, more than 30 theaters in Chang'an City all paid royalties. The total money amounted to millions, and there were dozens of small theater troupes. They did not have enough money, but they also came to the opera troupe and Chen Lian. Sign a contract and be willing to pay 5% of the profit to purchase the copyright.

Faced with such a huge amount of money, Chen Lian didn't know what to do, so she went to Xu Fan and asked, "How should your Majesty use these copyright fees?"

Xu Fan said: "As a welfare expense for your opera troupe, I also understand that your opera troupe is indeed working hard. During this period, you have been busy in the mountainous countryside. It is not an exaggeration to say that you have to eat and sleep in the open.

It will be like this from now on. You will be subsidized when you go to the countryside, divided into first, second and third grades. The first grade is based on Chang'an City and the villages near the county. The conditions in these places are slightly better. A monthly subsidy of 500 yuan will be given. The remote areas are The township is considered a second-class area and will receive a subsidy of 1000 yuan. If the conditions in the villages on the mountain are poor, a subsidy of 1500 yuan will be given. "

Now that the opera troupe has been given a stick, now we must also give them a sweet date, otherwise many opera troupes will indeed be dissatisfied.

Chen Lian said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Lian thought for a while and asked: "How can our opera troupe collect 5% of the profits from those small opera troupes? We can't send someone to follow them."

Xu Fan said: "Charge them a thousand dollars a month. After one year, the copyright will belong to them. If you can't take it out, don't destroy it. The profit of a small theater troupe is not as good as that of a theater. After all, this is their job. A The troupe can support a dozen people, so don’t waste their jobs just for this little money.”

"promise."

That night Xu Fan returned to Yan Palace where he lived, and Chen Lin and Chen Sheng were also here.

Xu Fan smiled and said, "It just so happens that our family will have dinner together."

Chen Xiu prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Xu Fan and Chen Lin chatted while eating.

Xu Fan asked Chen Lindao: "How is the formulation of the Civil Code of the Han Dynasty going?"

Chen Lin, the imperial censor, did very little to supervise things. Instead, he was very busy with the system and laws. Last year, he teamed up with many legalists and other doctors in Guanzhong to come up with the "Criminal Code of the Han Dynasty" that belonged to the Han Dynasty and was praised by the world.

It is believed that the "Han Criminal Code" revised by Chen Lin deleted the complicated punishments of the Qin Code, abolished various corporal punishments, simplified the complex ones, and greatly reduced cruel punishments and serial punishments. The "Han Criminal Code" restored the ancient times and the principle of treating diseases and saving lives. Kindness concept.

Regardless of whether this is an ancient concept, doctors and legal scholars all over the world say it is, so that’s it.

Chen Lindao: "It's still being formulated."

When it came to the "Civil Code of the Han Dynasty", Chen Lin was not convinced, because Xu Fan had called back three times in a row. Each time they thought it was complete, the emperor was still not satisfied.

I just tell them to be pragmatic and avoid falsehoods, improve red tape, simplify the complex, adapt to the times, and suit the people.

But what troubles them the most is this idea of ​​"adapting to the times and suitable for the people", which makes them almost ask the emperor for approval one by one.

They think it is suitable for the times and the people.

But when he reported it to the emperor, he found out that this was a bad habit and he was immediately beaten back.

A law that they find reasonable among couples.

As a result, the emperor made such a ridiculous comment.

They have to think about what the emperor thinks is a big mistake.

He once asked Kong Kun and Shusun Tong to advise the emperor: "The laws should not be based on personal likes and dislikes."

But Xu Fan immediately retorted: "You made the law according to the environment of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but that was a period of war. How can it be compared with the world at this time? We make laws to suit the times, not to let the times adapt to the laws. You make the laws of the Han Dynasty based on ancient customs. This is the behavior of a fool who is trying to find a sword. "

These words made Kong Yu speechless, but Shusun Tong slowly figured out Xu Fan's thoughts. It would be easier to pass the law if it was as close to fairness as possible, but difficult to pass if it was the opposite.

Chen Sheng said: "Brother-in-law, someone told me yesterday that the Young Mansion should have been the emperor's private property and should be used by the royal family, but now the prime minister controls the emperor's private property and uses it unscrupulously for government affairs. This is bullying the emperor."

Chen Xiu immediately hit Chen Sheng with chopsticks and said: "What do you know about government affairs at a young age? The Prime Minister and His Majesty are friends in times of need. There is no need for oppression. There are only a few of us in the royal family now. How can we use the Shaofu Ten?" Tens of thousands of gold, if you want to be as extravagant and lustful as the First Emperor, I will beat you to death."

"Don't fight, don't fight!" Chen Sheng was originally under the control of his own sister and did not dare to resist. He was just worried about Chen Xiu's health.

After Chen Xiu stopped, he said unconvinced: "That's how it is. Your Majesty, you don't care about the private property of the Shaofu, but have you considered it for future generations? The Shaofu is under the control of the Prime Minister. This will become a common practice. In the imperial court, The three princes and nine ministers will take it for granted. From now on, the emperor will not be able to hold great power if he has no money in his hands. An emperor without financial power will become a lame emperor. "

Now even Chen Xiu touched her belly and stopped talking. She didn't care about the money, but she had to prepare it for her child.

She knew that with her husband's prestige, she didn't have to worry about this, but her son would no longer have this prestige. The second-generation emperor had low prestige and no money to bribe ministers. How could he continue to be an emperor?

So he also looked at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan said calmly: "The mountains, seas and lands under the control of the young master belong to the world, and they should be returned to the common people of the world. Monopolizing the world's goods for the personal benefit of one family will not happen in the Han Dynasty.

But it makes sense for Ah Sheng to say that the royal family should be in charge of money. This world belongs to the people of the world, and the royal family should not be supported by the people of the world. I will find a way to leave some of the royal family's property. "

Again, for Xu Fan, the wealth in this world is as simple as scooping water. He really doesn't need to rely on power and monopoly to make wealth, but this problem needs to be solved, so let's leave a good example to future generations.

Then Xu Fan asked: "The person who gave you this opinion must be a thoughtful person."

Chen Sheng said: "It's Zhao Gao."

Xu Fan said: "Let Zhao Gao come see me tomorrow."

"promise!"
