Chapter 597 Siphon Effect

The play "The Chooser" became an instant hit due to its excellent screenwriting and powerful soundtrack.

No matter who reads it, they can hum a few sentences and learn a paragraph.

And the songs are all sung, so the plot must be deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In the streets and alleys, people are discussing this play.

"Who is in your ears, saying that your love for me will never change, just for this sentence, there is no resentment even if my heart is broken. The rain breaks my heart, the wind sheds tears, the dreams are lingering, and my heart is far away."

"Mother, Song's changes are too fast before and after marriage, right?"

"Isn't it true? Before marriage, you were Xiao Tiantian, and after marriage, you were a bitch."

"Bah, this Song is such a heartless man!"

"You can't say that. Song didn't like Min from the beginning."

"If you don't like her, why did you accept her? Just let her marry Lu and be your wife. It's true that there is no one to plow the land, and there are people to fight for it. Once you get it, you don't cherish it!"

"It's not surprising that Min ended up like this. Apart from her hard work, she didn't have a good background. Song's family was originally in decline. The appearance of Lu forced Song Xiangmin to bow his head. With Song's pride, even if he accepted her, he still felt sad in his heart. I don’t want to see her either. It’s just normal to sacrifice her when you’re in trouble.”

"Min must regret it."

"That's for sure. Isn't there a sequel to the drama "Choose a Husband"? Lu later married a woman from a similar background to Min. After the marriage, his wife wanted to run a shop, and Lu even helped. "

"Later, Lu also encountered difficulties. Lu's wife gave up half of her wealth to support Lu. After Lu successfully overcame the difficulties, he repaid his wife twice as much. The two lived a loving life. If Min had chosen Lu, he would have lived a happy life. life.”

At this time, another beautiful song came, "The water of the West Lake, my tears, I am willing to turn into a ball of flame for you, ah~ah~...ah~ah..."

"This woman has married the wrong person. Aren't her tears just like those in West Lake? She can't even shed them dry."

"Being a concubine, you work hard to earn money for a lifetime, but it will be taken away in a moment."

"It would be great if Min married Lu and became his wife. We would never have to worry about this."

Very good interpretation, don’t do it next time. The scholar said silently in his heart.

Then, at the instruction of the mountain chief Chen Dinghuai, he closed the window and cut off the conversation at the tea stall downstairs.

This is Jimo, Beihai, which has been very lively recently.

In the private room of the restaurant at this time, his family chief and two wives were there, as well as several classmates of the same year, all of whom were from White Deer Academy.

"Tsk, tsk, this play was created by Pingzhou, right? That's great." Cui Chunhua couldn't help but say.

Both disciples Zhan Ruoshui and Zhou Congguang and Wei Wenqian laughed and said nothing. Such an obvious political stance must be Pingzhou.

"You work hard all your life to make money, but it will be taken away all of a sudden. That's a good summary. I didn't expect that these ladies and daughters-in-law who make needlework can still talk about it." After saying that, Cui Chunhua couldn't help but wonder, "Doesn't Pingzhou not have such a problem? "

Wei Wenqian said, "The money earned in Pingzhou can be taken away."

Zhou Congguang said proudly, "Pingzhou dares to win, and if it can win, it can also afford to lose." Their second sister Lu is very good at making money, unlike that one who lost points by seeking wealth from a concubine!

Zhan Ruoshui glanced at the two silly apprentices, "You are overthinking. It's the same as Pingzhou. Pingzhou makes money and Pingzhou spends money." It's just that Pingzhou's methods are gentle. Pingzhou allows you to spend money willingly, while Emperor Dali uses strong methods to grab money. There is a difference between a soft landing and a hard landing.

"Captain Shan, if you want to visit Pingzhou, you can do it anytime. You really don't have to rush in these days." Zhan Ruoshui advised Chen Dinghuai.

Chen Dinghuai glanced at him, "Why, you are only allowed to move your family to Pingzhou, but I am not allowed to go and see it?"

Zhan Ruoshui: "That's not what I meant. I'm too sensitive these days. I'm worried about you. We are different. Our whole family has moved to Pingzhou, and the government can't do anything to us."

"Lao Zhan, you are so decisive in leaving." Cui Chunhua sighed.

Zhan Ruoshui and other people who were interested in Pingzhou were the first to set off without any hesitation. They had chosen their camp from the beginning, and they didn't know where Zhan Ruoshui had such courage.

Zhan Ruoshui smiled and didn't answer him.

This time, Pingzhou made real efforts to welcome them back.

Pingzhou is for everyone, and everyone is Pingzhou. Pingzhou put the chips on them, and they didn't want Pingzhou to lose.

This is the thought in the minds of almost everyone who loves Pingzhou.

Southland

At this time, Ning Changge was also trying his best to persuade his relatives.

"Uncle, listen to me, Pingzhou is really good."

His uncle said, "Nephew, do you know that when we moved our family to Pingzhou, we gave up the wealth accumulated over generations." The cruel court did not allow them to sell off their assets!

Moreover, the imperial court exempted Southland from taxes for three years, which was also an extremely beneficial thing for them.

When they leave, they have to give up so many things, it's hard to give up.

"Uncles, don't miss this little profit the court gives you. If the court can give you a piece of candy today, it can cut you a piece of flesh another day."

Ning Changge: "Such good treatment is only temporary. Because Pingzhou and the imperial court are robbing people, the imperial court is looking at you seriously. Today you are still the imperial court's sweethearts, but tomorrow you can only be merchants and untouchables! Let's not be fooled. Ah, just go when you have to."

Uncles: It doesn’t have to be so heartbreaking.

Indeed, for businessmen, a stable investment environment is the most important thing. If the imperial court's policies are like those lyrics, which are hot and cold, who can stand it?

And the play "Selecting a Husband" also hinted that Lu was willing to give Min the position of legal wife. It can be interpreted that there is no class distinction or family background in Pingzhou. As long as you are talented and work hard enough, you can make a name for yourself in Pingzhou.

Ning Changge's uncles looked at each other and said, "That's all for the sake of the child."

Changge is said to be very promising in Pingzhou, and the younger generation of their family has grown up, so it's just right for them to go to Pingzhou to shine.

…

The knowledgeable people who have watched the play "Selecting a Husband" couldn't help but shake their heads. Pingzhou is also trying hard to attract more talents. Such a story can be made up.

Unfortunately, Pingzhou's navy cannot cover the entire territory of Dali, and only operates in several important states and counties.

And they deliberately avoided Chang'an and Donghai.

But this play "Selecting a Husband" is so eye-catching, coupled with the soundtrack of "Waiting for a Thousand Years", it swept the stage with an unstoppable momentum.

All the major opera troupes were urgently rehearsing this play.

Xie Zhan still knew about this play, and his face changed at that time.

There is no need to think about it, this play must be written by Pingzhou.

What happened to the court? Did they realize it so late?

All the officials in the court: It’s not that they realized it late, but they didn’t dare to tell the emperor.

Do they want them to tell the emperor that they think that Song in "Selecting Husbands" refers to the emperor? It’s not like they are risking their lives.

Xie Zhan knew very well that he couldn’t let this play spread.

Now Xie Zhan knew about it, and soon Song Mo also knew about it.

Song Mo learned that someone had arranged such a play to slander him, and his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he couldn’t lose his temper, which was very hard to endure.

After Song Mo knew about this play, the court ministers had no way to avoid it, but they were also helpless about how to deal with it.

This was the first time that the Dali court encountered such a large-scale public opinion war.

Except for the sensitive name of the protagonist, you can't find anything out of the ordinary about this play.

It's about love between men and women, love and hate.

If the court takes action and closes it, it will be a case of the court and the royal family being punished.

But if it is not closed, it will hurt the reputation of the court and the royal family too much.

In the end, "Selecting Husbands" was still banned.

All opera troupes are not allowed to stage this play, and ordinary people are not allowed to talk about it anymore, otherwise they will be arrested by the government.

The government also wanted to find out the opera troupe that originally staged this play, but in the end it was found that it was a makeshift troupe that performed this play for a few days and then quietly slipped away.

After doing all this, Song Mo threw his hands away. He didn't think there would be any bad influence in the future. He was very confident. His Dali still governed the nine states, with vast land and abundant resources. How could talented people abandon Dali and go to the tiny Pingzhou?

Since the uprising in Pingzhou, many measures have been taken to recruit talents, but because Pingzhou is located in a remote area and it was winter at that time, it was difficult to travel, so the effect was not obvious at once.

Now that the play "Selecting a Husband" has been performed, it has formed a siphon effect, superimposed on all the previous measures.
