Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 16 16 I just want to be a telescope
After returning to Anleju, Zuo Ming took a shower, and boredly opened the storybook of Wang Gui's daughter Wang Siyan.

Sure enough, it comes from a scholarly family. Wang Siyan's story is indeed well written, and it is a poignant love story.It's just that the rhetoric in the words and stories is too gorgeous, and the plot is a bit procrastinated, making Zuo Ming sleepy after watching it.

From a literary point of view, Wang Siyan's storybook is definitely the best choice, comparable to the parallel prose of later generations; but from a commercial point of view, this storybook is really not for people to read, and it has no entertainment at all.

But it doesn't matter, the script is not good-looking, but it will not affect his dramatic effect.

Since Wang Siyan likes this kind of romantic literary feeling, why didn't he rehearse it into a high-quality literary film like the "evil in the east and the poison in the west" in later generations?Thinking about it, it must be able to attract the attention of many secondary and literary youths!

Thinking about it this way, Zuo Ming could only bite the bullet and finish watching him.After reading it, Zuo Ming began to rewrite it, and then handed over the script to Lian'er.

Afterwards, he began to rehearse the Legend of the White Snake.

This time, Zuo Ming also participated in the performance, but he acted as little fairies like toad spirit and centipede spirit.His so-called costume was sewn according to the shape of the diamond gourd immediately. Although it was rough and looked fake at first glance, it was more cute than cute.

This time the rehearsal was obviously much smoother than the last time. All the girls seemed to have gotten used to the feeling of rushing to the scene after one scene. They were all in order, and there was no panic at all.

One month is a long time, but it is also very short. During this time, Zuo Ming was responsible for the rehearsal and the writing of the Sui and Tang heroes' biographies.

Of course, the writing here is not written by Zuo Ming himself, but by Zuo Mingnian and Li Tai.

Since coming to Anleju, Li Tai has fallen in love with it deeply.

Although I have seen countless beauties, watching a large number of young and beautiful girls flying around like butterflies, busy, has a different taste.

The most important thing is that he felt a very special aura from them, which is a special feeling that the women in the palace do not have, which makes these girls look even more charming.

He really likes to see them doing their own thing, talking and laughing, which is much better than stripping.

If you really want to give a definition to these days, Li Tai thinks that the word "real" should be a very good adjective.

Real crying, real laughing, real playing, this is a kind of absolute freedom, all people seem to let go of the shackles called "life".

They really live, but not only for themselves, but also for everyone.

It's amazing, it's obviously a very complicated play, divided into countless shots, each shot has many different characters, but with the intimate cooperation of those girls, it turned into an extremely coherent drama so smoothly. Overall.

This is really an amazing thing.

Of course, this is not the most miraculous thing he has ever seen. In Anleju, he has seen even more miraculous things!That is ice!
On a day in June, in order to keep the girls from getting too hot, Zuo Ming actually created several large tanks of ice out of thin air!
Just a few big tanks of water, and then throw some powder in, and that tank of water directly turned into ice!
However, Zuo Ming is really stingy, so much ice, he only used it for those chicks, and never let Li Tai even touch it.

Naturally, Li Tai was not one to admit defeat, so he used the name of the prince and went to some girls to ask for some.Unexpectedly, Zuo Ming was really abominable. From that day on, the supply of ice cubes in the courtyard was cut off for seven consecutive days.

In the past seven days, there were rehearsals and cleaning up of the theater. All the girls were basically wet. Although they looked more beautiful and moving, they made Li Tai feel very distressed.

Especially when one of the girls was too hot and had heat stroke, he couldn't sit still and ran to Zuo Ming's place, vowing that he would never play ice again.

Because of this, Zuo Ming restarted the supply of ice cubes.

Since then, Li Tai has been much more obedient.Although Zuo Ming would not punish him directly, sometimes Zuo Ming's indirect punishment made him more afraid.

Others punish a person physically, but Zuo Ming directly destroys you mentally, even destroys you!You won't feel pain, but you will feel better than dead.

The story of the legend of the white lady is naturally a success. Not only men like this story, but women also like it very much.

However, the seats in the Anle Grand Theater are really too small, there are only more than 300 seats in total.Although each position only costs 20 taels of silver, the supply is in short supply.Some people even took a fancy to the business opportunities, and even snatched tickets and resold them.

Some sons, in order to please their favorite lady, spend hundreds of taels to buy a second-hand ticket, and they really don't even bat an eye.

Zuo Ming naturally discovered this phenomenon, and was immediately furious.

There are a total of 84 girls in their theater, and they only get 6000 taels of silver for a month of work. After deducting the cost and expenses, it is only 30 taels for individuals. Those bastards are lucky, and they don’t pay any money, so they earn hundreds of taels of silver for nothing. Forbearance, what can't be tolerated!

Therefore, Zuo Ming made a rule that the theater tickets will adopt a real-name system from now on, and cannot be purchased on behalf of others. Anyone who buys on behalf of others will be charged an additional transfer fee of 100 taels!If it is found that the transfer fee has not been paid and the ticket is directly transferred to someone else, then the person who bought the second-hand ticket should not expect to come to the theater in the future.Unless, you are willing to pay 500 taels of theater compensation.

Because those who buy second-hand tickets are generally rich, and their origins are easy to find out, so it is also a simple matter to prohibit them from watching dramas.Zuo Ming's idea is very simple, I can't punish second-hand dealers, I will punish you who support second-hand dealers!Let you dare not buy second-hand tickets from now on.

After going back and forth, although the second-hand dealers were not banned, the commercial atmosphere of the entire theater was much cleaner.Of course, it also increased a lot of income for the theater at the same time.

After all, rich people are always capricious. Some people just want to support second-hand ticket dealers because they have too much money and no time to buy tickets. Not to mention the 100 taels of transfer fee, even the 500 taels of theater compensation, they paid nothing. unambiguous.

For such a person, Zuo Ming can only get used to it.No way, rich man!

After the theater got on the right track, the whole theater was divided into three groups, performing different repertoires respectively, from the previous one scene in January to one scene per week.The working hours of the actors have also been changed to an eight-hour system. After a scene, the actors will get a day's rest, and then there will be five days of rehearsal and one day of performance, and the cycle will repeat.

Because the repertoires of each class are divided into different days, there are three major plays in Anle Grand Theater every seven days.

In this way, while the income of the theater has increased, the lives of the women have become much easier, and they have more free time.

Although the income of the entire theater is still not as good as that of the previous brothel, it is no longer losing money, but the profit is still not much.

Zuo Ming discussed with Wang Gui about the low profit of Anle Grand Theater.Wang Gui expressed full support.

Now the entire theater is short of manpower, so it can only arrange three acts a week, and there are fewer guest seats, so the income is so low, but Wang Gui can see the future of the theater.

As long as Anleju continues to expand, from a hundred seats to a thousand seats, and even ten thousand seats, he believes that Anleju's income will be far greater than the previous brothel period.

As for the many people who say that it is impossible to seat [-] people, let’s talk about a new gadget created by Zuo Ming.This thing is familiar to most modern people!That's the telescope!

Seeing the telescope for the first time, Wang Gui couldn't put it down, begged for it, and started playing with it.

Zuo Ming naturally had no objection, although Wang Gui's behavior was a little bit of a joke, but he still wouldn't laugh at him in public.

After showing Wang Gui the benefits of the telescope, Zuo Ming encouraged Wang Gui to invest in it and help him mass-produce it.

However, when he heard that Zuo Ming could actually mass-produce colored glazes, he trembled and yelled for him to follow him into the palace.

The history of Zuo Ming in the previous life was not very good. How did you know that Liuli, that is, glass, was so precious in the Tang Dynasty?Although the glass of his telescope was considered pure, he was actually not satisfied with it according to his perception, but in the eyes of Li Shimin and the others, that thing was extraordinary.

"You are one of the 36 ways of heaven you mentioned? You can actually use sand to make colored glaze!? It's amazing! What else do you want? Can you turn stone into gold?"

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard that Zuo Ming was made of glaze made of sand.So this magical method was put back into the 36 branches of knowledge of the way of heaven mentioned by Zuo Ming.

Now he has been poisoned by Zuo Ming to the late stage of brain damage, and everything is done in a natural way.

"I've told you that I haven't learned the 36 Heavenly Dao, I just know some superficial knowledge. What you said about turning stones into gold is a university question. It involves the knowledge of atoms, and it needs to fundamentally change the physical and chemical structures of stones! If you give me 3000 years for that kind of method, maybe I can do it. As for the production of colored glaze, it’s just a trick. I didn’t know that Tang’s colored glaze was so expensive. First make some by yourself and sell them. Those Hu merchants are also very cunning, obviously they are very cheap things, the whole thing is like crystal!"

The emperor likes to think in that direction, and Zuo Ming naturally doesn't matter, but this time is obviously not the time to pretend to be aggressive.Now he regrets showing Wang Gui the binoculars.

What he said is true. After 1000 years, science has developed to the point where it is possible to change the atomic structure. Although the cost is too high, it is still possible.If you give him 3000 years, he might really be able to do it.
