Which of these two lives is better? No one knows, and no one can compare.
Anyway, Song Suo thought that he had lived a good life in this life. In this change, the only person who was hurt was probably Xiao Rong.
He was still looking forward to Song Suo's early awakening and becoming Song Suo 2.0, the special version of the Seven Apertures Heart, but unfortunately, he would never see it in his lifetime. ……*
Song Suo grabbed the aristocratic family's braid and attacked recklessly, fearing that he would miss this opportunity and have to wait for a while. Although Xiao Rong stopped him and did not let him kill the direct descendant, he was not so treasonous that he only let Song Suo save one life. As for what Song Suo wanted to do, Xiao Rong still cooperated with him.
At one time, several aristocratic families on the genealogy were liquidated in the north of the Huai River. Some had their property confiscated, and some of their descendants were executed. When they found out that they were serious, the aristocratic families in Nanyong would naturally react. However, due to the blockade period on both sides, even if they reacted, it would be of little use.
Originally, no one would have dared to bring this matter up to Sun Renluan. After all, all the noble families on the list should be on the side of the Yong Dynasty, and the two sides should be mortal enemies. Going to Sun Renluan to complain about the ridiculous actions of the Zhenbei Army was like directly telling Sun Renluan that they wanted to surrender to the enemy.
But after the Zhenbei Army's actions became more and more aggressive, they vaguely revealed an attitude, as if they did not respect the aristocratic families at all, and did not want their help. Someone took the genealogy of the aristocratic families to warn the Zhenbei Army, but the general named Jian Qiao sneered, walked to the street, threw the booklet recording the genealogy on the ground, and burned it with fire.
There were still many ignorant people on the street, and when they saw this scene, they all clapped their hands in joy. The reason they did so was that a new play called "Ten Thousand Miles of Silver" had recently appeared in the north of the Huai River.
"Wanli Silver" is not as long as "Shrouded Corpse". It's already a certain month, and "Shrouded Corpse" has not been finished yet. "Wanli Silver" has only three acts. It tells the story of a man named Li Wanli. He accidentally discovered that cotton becomes fluffy and warm after being bounced, so he made a bunch of soft cotton and made clothes to sell in the city. As a result, not long after he walked out, a group of servants came and beat him up, saying that all the warm clothes in the city are sold by the x family. How dare a commoner go against the x family? If you sell again, they will kill you! Our master is a government official!
After being beaten, the man certainly didn't dare to sell anymore. He decided to leave the city and go to another city. And this time he didn't want to sell clothes anymore. He decided to sell cotton. Now no one could say anything.
However, just as he set up the stall, local officials came and said that cotton was not allowed to enter the city because a certain wealthy family in the city specialized in raising silkworms and selling animal skins, and cotton was dirty and not warm. He was a liar, and if he dared to sell it again, the officials would have to arrest him and put him in jail.
The man could not accept this reason. He picked up the white cotton and explained to the soldiers that it was very clean and really warm. But the soldiers did not listen. Seeing that he was going to be beaten again, he ran away quickly.
The story was repeated again and again. He couldn’t sell his clothes, cotton, or tools. Some people wanted to capture him and take him back as a slave. In the three-act play, he went through at least ten crises. He walked farther and farther. When he finally found a place to sell his cotton, he found that he was no longer in the Central Plains, but in the Western Regions. The merchants in the Western Regions looked at the cotton in his hand with great pleasure, saying that it was a good thing. They used it to make quilts and clothes, but no one could make the cotton so soft.
The man thought that his hard work was finally over and he was immediately happy. However, the next second, the merchant only gave him a small piece of loose silver and said to him regretfully, "Although your processing is good, there are cotton fields everywhere here and you can't sell it at a good price. This is the highest price I can offer."
In the final scene, this man held a dime of silver. He had traveled thousands of miles from home and traveled all four seasons, but in the end, this was all he had. He looked at the audience with a blank face, almost making them angry to death. …
The script is very short and the actors don't need to remember too many lines, so the three acts are performed together. If you have money and time, you can watch the whole play in one day.
After reading this, remember two things: first, the noble family is not a good thing; second, cotton is a good thing. …
The people of Chenliu had already had their perceptions twisted by Xiao Rong. After "The Shrouded Corpse" became popular, the status of the Zhenbei Army in the hearts of the people has been rising rapidly. Coupled with the construction of the city and the payment of wages, the people of Chenliu are now the most loyal supporters of the King of Zhenbei and the Zhenbei Army. Although Xiao Rong called the plays in the theater "excerpts", in the minds of those who have never seen drama, they should be called news documentaries.
Many people don’t even know that this is fake, they still think these are true stories.
In this kind of atmosphere, the dignity of aristocratic families in the hearts of ordinary people was naturally discounted. Everyone was very happy that the Zhenbei Army was going to expel the children of aristocratic families.
Xiao Rong was also very happy. It was worth it for him to urgently find someone to write the script and quickly promote the play. Now that the cotton had been publicized, the family's reputation had been ruined. Moreover, there was a relatively small benefit, which was that the foreigners had one more employment direction.
They can now apply to be actors. As long as they can speak Chinese, it doesn't matter if they are good-looking or not. Everything is just beginning anyway, and people are not picky yet. ...
For a long time, the aliens have had no other way out except to run trade and become mercenaries. Not many people want them to be slaves because they eat a lot and often run away. Some people are also worried that they will suddenly go on a killing spree, so the sales of aliens in the brokerage industry have always been dismal.
Regardless of being a trader or a mercenary, the prerequisite is that one must have a good physique. This should also be a kind of survivor bias. The Central Plains people have always had the impression that other races are strong and eat raw meat and drink blood. In fact, they also have compatriots who are like little chickens, but these compatriots are self-aware, so they stay in their hometown and do not come out.
Now, the news is spreading slowly. If you can be an actor, you can be a waiter. If you can be a waiter, you can naturally be a shopkeeper.
Although they look different, their minds are similar. It's not just the people in the Central Plains who are willing to fight, the other races are willing too. ...
How happy Xiao Rong was, how angry those noble families were. It happened that the play was only performed in the north of the Huai River, and they had no control over what happened over there. It seemed that this thing had not yet reached Nanyong, but "The Shrouded Corpse" also started in Chenliu, and now even Nanyong had a place to stage this play. No one in Jinling dared to do so, but the play had already been secretly circulated here, and almost every scholar had a copy.
Yu Shaoxie felt a little embarrassed about this. He thought that scholars would not want to read if the language was vulgar, but scholars liked to follow trends and also liked this kind of ups and downs story. Naturally, they would be critical of outsiders, but the book at home that was almost curled up had already explained everything.
