Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

You Ji, who was working hard to learn to read, had never been tortured by reports, but this did not prevent him from summarizing the rules, so he could only shut up in embarrassment.

Apologies are not important. What’s important is not to bother your own lady. Haven’t you seen that your lady always looks sleepy during the morning meeting?

Xie Xian, who was flipping through the latest picture book, smacked her lips in boredom. She had finished reading more than a dozen books in three days. Oh! If she had known earlier, she would not have stayed up late to read. Now she is bored again.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of exciting events in the county. First, at the banquet in the Princess's Mansion, the eldest princess was recruiting talents. Then it was revealed that the Hua family troupe rented a courtyard outside and performed opera every day.

The Legend of the White Snake has a total of twenty scenes, which are rehearsed on and off stage throughout the day, and other groups are occasionally invited to perform.

The most exciting thing is that the Hua Family Troupe offers classes to the public. As long as you pay, you can learn new music scores and new instruments. The training content is detailed, and you can take a class for free first, and then decide whether to pay.

Now many teams couldn’t sit still anymore. The free class lasted for three days, after which people started to sign up for the class one after another.

"What do you think the Hua family is thinking? They have new music scores and instruments, but they insist on using them for teaching. I heard that their class fees are not high, only one or two taels per class on average. They are losing money!"

Some of her colleagues were puzzled, but that did not stop her from attending the training.

"That's right, I don't know what he was thinking!"

Someone couldn't stand it and sneered: "Look at how many people are there in this class?"

They looked up and saw that there were at least forty or fifty people present. They were shocked. Just this class would cost fifty taels. If they had one class in the morning and one in the afternoon, the whole day would cost a hundred taels.

"This makes money much faster than performing!" someone exclaimed.

"Look, isn't that Master Ni coming up on the stage?" someone pointed at an old man coming up on the stage.

"It's really Ni Qinren. The Hua family is really generous. They actually let Master Ni come to teach the music score." Ni Qinren was specially invited by Xie Xian. He was already retired, but after looking at the musical score, he agreed to Hua Yin's request.

Teacher Ni sat down and said, "Since everyone is here to learn, I think they all want to know what the new score is like. I will give you the score now."

The servant handed everyone a sheet of music. When they opened it, they were shocked. "There are so many songs. Look at the first two pages. There is also the one I've been looking for. It's so good..."

As soon as the music score collection was distributed, everyone felt like they had found a treasure. Even if there were no famous teachers to give lectures now, it was worth it to be able to get this music score collection.

As actors, their music scores are precious, which are collected by their predecessors and passed down from generation to generation. Some open-minded colleagues will exchange the music scores with each other, but some are really hidden very carefully and will not give them to anyone.

Everyone relied on their own ears and then copied it down on their own, so pirated copies lacked notes. What's worse, there were many different ways of recording music scores. If there was no one to teach, people would not be able to recognize the scores even if they had them. Thus, many famous songs disappeared in the long river of history.

After seeing how simple and easy to understand the five-line musical notation was, Master Ni decided to teach musical notation.

When the white-haired old man heard what Hua Yin said about Xie Xian's ambition to unify the music scores, tears welled up in his eyes. The only wish of their generation of old zither players is that the music scores in their hands can be passed down.

In fact, it’s not that no one has ever made efforts in this regard before, but it’s still too difficult to rely solely on the efforts of one person, one city or one force.

However, the plan proposed by Xie Xian was the only sustainable one. Because paper was already widely available, the price of books was not high. The cost of a collection of music scores was about fifty cents. Xie Xian decided to sell them at a 10% premium over the cost.

Of course, collector's editions and limited editions are not included.

In addition, the music collection will be updated every year. If a new popular song appears, it will be included. The songs from the annual Huiji Festival, Red List, and Heavenly List will naturally be included.

If you want your music to be included in the music collection, the various chart-making teams have to use their brains.

Sponsors are definitely needed, and the order of the two is also important, isn't it? Xie Xian will let these ancients understand what is meant by free is the most expensive.

So when Chizhou, Huayin and others heard the marketing plan for the music collection that Xie Xian had rushed to prepare overnight, they could only say that they were amazed.

"Of course, these are just plans. There are deficiencies that need to be supplemented, but whether or not to implement this plan is still up to you." Xie Xian only provided a general framework, and they had to perfect the details themselves.

In ancient times, music and dance organizations were used first for religious activities and secondly for entertainment. Later court performing arts organizations, the Yuefu, also developed along the lines of etiquette and entertainment.

The official organization of actors and actresses was the Yuefu, the folk actor groups were the troupes, and then there were the family troupes maintained by the famous clans.

Now, the Hua Family Troupe can be said to be Xie Xian's family music. Different from the official Yuefu's strict emphasis on etiquette, the folk troupe and family music are more dynamic and more entertaining.

Xie Xianjue's actors and actresses are a vulnerable group, but they are not short of money. Why can't they set up an organization to implement this plan?

It's definitely not because she dislikes trouble.

But this kind of thing must naturally be controlled within the actor organization in order to be recognized by everyone.

After getting to know Xie Xian, she discovered that the court's music officials would select a group of outstanding musicians from the public every year to enter the palace and serve as music officials. This is the origin of the Tianbang.

Xie Xian nodded. This is a direct channel to the civil service exam! No wonder there is so much competition.

However, as the dynasty became corrupt, the annual Heavenly Ranking became an arena for aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen.

Xie Xian seemed to be lost in thought. The competition among the various forces was becoming more and more intense. Emperor Qi did not express his opinion, which meant that he was tacitly indulging everyone. Everyone was vying to present beautiful girls to him, and he seemed to be enjoying it.

Aren't you afraid of a car accident if you play like this? Xie Xian touched her chin. In the past, the most classic assassination part of TV dramas was the dancer. But on second thought, Emperor Qi is still young, and the princes below are not yet grown up.

Moreover, the noble families who send people will also carefully screen the candidates entering the palace to avoid being implicated in a game of elimination of the nine clans. This is probably the reason why Emperor Qi can still smile until now!

Xie Xian is reserved about her own speculation.

Xie Xian doesn't care about Emperor Qi's palace life, but the Hua family's training garden has become very popular.

Almost all teams that intend to compete for the list will send people to learn, because other teams have learned it, and if you don’t learn it, you will be a few points weaker.

Fighting for the top spot has always been like rowing against the current; if you don’t move forward, you will fall behind.

However, no one is dissatisfied with the Hua family's behavior of making money at the top of the list.

Everyone was smiling happily when they received the music collection. Chizhou even guaranteed that if anyone had good songs in their collection and was willing to include them in the music collection, then they could enjoy free tuition and all the courses for free.
