Just as Meng Yi and others were discussing crabs and food with the emperor, Chen Jiangshi, Shui Qingrou and others who were playing by the river were also escorted back to their homes under the guards.

There were two large pots of fried crabs, which were specially reserved for Chen Xu, so Chen Xu naturally couldn't finish them, so he asked someone to give them to the servants of the Hou Mansion.

What made Chen Xu happy was that he brought back several large pots of snails with the carriage, each of which was the size of a chestnut, and was 20 to 30 kilograms.

Chen Xu immediately stopped eating the crabs and ordered the servant to clean the snails with a brush, rinse them a few times, soak them in a large wooden basin with clean water, and then add some salt to stir.

"My benefactor, can this thing really be eaten!" Looking at Chen Xu's busy work, Yu Wuya felt that Chen Xu's idea of ​​eating snails had been for sure and could not be changed.

"Of course, how can you not eat such delicious food? It is no less than spicy crayfish when prepared. Spicy snails, gently take a sip of the delicious sauce, drink some cold beer, add some other braised food, sit in the night and chat, it is an unparalleled pleasure..."

"Hiss~" The two of them took a sip of water almost at the same time. Yu Wuya looked at the big pot of black snails, and suddenly felt that they didn't start to feel uncomfortable.

The snails have to be soaked for a day before they can be eaten after they have spit out all the mud and sand in the shell. Therefore, Chen Xu reminded the kitchen workers to pay attention to changing water and cleaning, and after lunch, he went to the newspaper office.

The time and task of this issue of the Great Victory Special Issue are tight and the task is heavy. Chen Xu feels that it is better to keep an eye on it carefully. In addition to helping to design the layout of the special Issue, he can also guide a group of pens in the newspaper to modify the battle report and strive to write the flowers of this victory so that the people who read the newspaper can be immersed in the scene and excited.

Two hours passed by, and in a blink of an eye it was Shen Shi.

Under the guidance of Chen Xu, after repeated consideration and revision by Chen Pingqiu Cheng Fu An and other famous scholars, more than ten battlefield news has been revised based on the Li Shun battle report. Although Chen Xu is still dissatisfied with most of them, time is tight and he can only make up for it. So he wrote one article and asked someone to go to the layout room to type and proofread.

In order to promote the news of the victory faster, Chen Xu decided to distribute it for free in this issue, but at the same time, a message was posted at the bottom of the front page of the special issue: In order to welcome the soldiers who returned from triumphantly, Qinghe Theater specially rehearsed a new repertoire and song and dance. On the day of triumphant, the soldiers who received the rewards will invite the soldiers who received the reward to watch it for free!

"The header can remain unchanged, so use the Daqin Metropolis Daily, but you must add two large characters in handwriting and mark them as special issues. Also, the front page center has built a monument with passion and the hero will live forever. These big characters are even larger, and they must occupy a quarter of the entire page. This is made of a separate carving, so let the craftsmen quickly make it..."

Although it was already Shenshi, everyone was hungry after a busy day, and Chen Xu had been staying in the layout room to guide how to make this special issue, but the people in the newspaper were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. They were busy and noisy. The chefs in the canteen brought the hot food and didn't even bother to eat it. They digged a few bites one by one and continued to work.

I was busy until the hour of You, and this special issue gradually took shape. All the articles have been arranged in place. I can just wait for the proofreading of the layout and proofreading. If there is no problem, I can be officially published.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief and took a pale face to get out of the newspaper office.

At this time, the sun had completely set, and Xianyang City, which had been busy and noisy all day, slowly fell silent. Because of the curfew, there were few pedestrians on the streets. Of course, the curfew was only targeted at ordinary people. For kings, princes, ministers and gentry officials, the beginning of the curfew was also the beginning of their nightlife. After eating and drinking, they rode horses and carts to some dumb houses to drink and drink to have fun with their sisters, and they would not go home until around the Xu hour.

"Go to Qinghe Park!" Chen Xu directly ordered after the carriage drove out of the street where the newspaper was located.

"Yes, Marquis!" The groom drove to the east of the city with a group of guards and Yu Wuya followed silently.

Since January, since the opening of Qinghe Park, the first act of the Legend of the White Snake and the Legend of the White Snake has been in Xianyang for more than three months. Many people are very interested and don’t know how many times they have spent. However, no matter what interests and hobbies they have, if one thing is repeated too much, one day they will feel disgusted. Therefore, under Chen Xu’s arrangement, Qinghe Theater also went to some Quyuan Gardens to buy seven or eight dancers who are good at singing and dancing to perform other songs and dances. But overall, these songs and dances without scripts are similar to those of other Quyuan Gardens and do not have much characteristics. Therefore, there are fewer people coming to Qinghe Theater to watch operas recently, and often they only sit less than half. If they are not available for a new play, Qinghe Theater has a sign of opening.

However, Chen Xu came back from Nanyang and brought back several plays from the Legend of White Snake written by Shui Qingrou. The second act of the thief of the Fairy Grass has been revised and handed over to the theater with the help of Chen Xu. Bo Daocheng, a half-baked director, plus Shi Xuan, the musical master. In addition, the Legend of White Snake has been acting for more than a year since Wancheng. People in the theater are already very familiar with things like reading scripts, making props, designing costumes, and laying fireworks and screens. Chen Xu and Shui Qingrou have only briefly guided it twice. This second act of the drama has been well-liked after several rehearsals.

And the theme song "Flowing Love" has spread all over the Qin Dynasty, and the song gardens in the east, west, south and north are singing this popular love song.

In order to cooperate with the new play, Chen Xu wrote the second classic theme song "Waiting for a Thousand Years" in the legend of the New White Snake as the supporting song. After Chen Xu hummed the song gently, everyone in the theater, including Shui Qingrou, was stunned by this even more sad and melodious song. In order to achieve the best effect, Chen Xu carefully explained and guided the opening part of the film, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Although these soundtracks and harmony are extremely strange, because of the foundation of the first song "Fu Love", after several days of rehearsal, the band and choir of the theater were able to perform well. Chen Xu, the lead singer of this song, handed him over to Wanwan of Yinyue Pavilion.

Since pretending to be a god and demon, Chen Xu did not break his promise and sent someone to Yinyue Pavilion to redeem Wanwan. He also asked someone to take the certificate of slavery to the Inner History Office to change Wanwan's household registration to the civilian. Yinyue Pavilion was afraid that Wanwan would say something bad in Chen Xu's ear, and even sent someone to send 20,000 yuan and a large number of clothes and items.

Chen Xu gave all the money and items to Wanwan without any movement. Chen Xu also asked about Wanwan's identity by the way, and then was a little surprised because Wanwan was actually a princess of Qi. After Qi destroyed the country, a large number of young and beautiful concubines and unmarried princesses were plundered into Qin and filled into Qin Shihuang's harem. However, princesses like Wanwan who had married were arrested and sold to slaves. After removing their slavery, Wanwan also changed her original name to Tian Hui.

Seeing Chen Xu bringing Yu Wuya in, the staff of the theater stood respectfully and saluted.

"Marty, why did you suddenly come today?" Shi Xuan and Bo Daocheng, who were stepping up rehearsals, also rushed forward to salute and greet him.

"You guys go on, I'm here to see. Tomorrow I will invite people from the newspaper office to come to enjoy the second act of the Legend of the White Snake in advance. When the winning soldiers return to the court in a few days, the theater will also perform a free performance for the soldiers who have won the rewards. At that time, maybe your majesty and civil and military officials will be invited, so don't make a mistake in this play," Chen Xu waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, we have to rehearse two or three times every day these days. We are all familiar with the actors, songs, music, and props, and we will definitely not go wrong!" Bo Daocheng said quickly.

"That's good. Today I won't watch you rehearse. In order to perform for the soldiers, I wrote a new song. Some personnel need to cooperate with a simple performance. You all sit down and listen carefully. I'll sing it for you twice. Write down the tune and take the time to rehearse well these days..."

Under the command of Bo Daocheng and Shi Xuan, the people in the orchestra quickly sat down and looked at Chen Xu. Chen Xu took out a piece of mahjong paper from his pocket and spread it out, clearing his voice and singing.

"The wolf smoke rises, the mountains look north, the dragon flag rolls and horses neigh the sword energy like frost, and the heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River..."

Chen Xu has never sang this song of loyalty to the country since he sang it to the drunk Wang Jian in Qinghe Town. He has only heard of Wang Jian, Shui Qingrou, Bai Zhen, Wang Sanwang Si and other guards. Even Yu Wuya has never heard of this heroic song. Therefore, the entire theater's rehearsal room was extremely quiet.

After Chen Xu's song, the room was silent for a long time before it was noisy. Shi Xuan, who was usually silent, limped to Chen Xu in front of him with a thick patina panflute, and said hoarse and excitedly: "Marty, this song is extremely majestic and heroic. With music and dance, it will inevitably make the audience excited."

"Yes, yes, Marquis, we must rehearse this song well, and performing the victory soldiers will inevitably boost morale more!" Bo Daocheng also nodded repeatedly with redness.

After spending more than a year with Chen Xu, Shi Xuan and Bo Daocheng's concept of music and singing and dancing has been completely different from other musicians and music in Daqin. Although they also like the classical music left over from the Great Zhou Dynasty, they like the popular songs and dances and elements that Chen Xu has added on a daily basis. These exquisite matching songs and singing and dancing are like a new window that suddenly opened, and they can see completely different beautiful scenery, making their understanding of music and dance completely transcend this era.

Human civilization has been constantly developing and improving beautiful things, such as poetry, clothing, singing and dancing, food, etc., everything is changing all the time. It is this constant change that has promoted the continuous progress of human society to a better life.

Although the Qin Dynasty had a time and space gap of two thousand years since later generations, music originated from nature and was higher than nature. Human beings initially began to imitate the sound of wind, rain, water, birds and beasts, and then slowly formed music, then sorted out the rhythm and made musical instruments. Music became an indispensable existence in human life, and music has also become an important part of Chinese civilization. By comparing rituals and music, we can see the importance of joy in life, which has risen to the moral level and has become a spiritual need and enjoyment.

Some people may think that ancient people two thousand years ago would never agree with music two thousand years later, but this statement is completely untenable. Humans' appreciation of beauty transcends the times and races. Just like when we listen to chimes more than two thousand years ago, we can feel its beauty. The first time Chinese people hear Western rock music. The noisy, shock and hoarse roars certainly made many people dislike it, but it is undeniable that rock music aroused the resonance of countless Chinese people, and countless people were immersed in it. The appearance of rock music in China is actually no less than a new thing that spans thousands of years of time and space, but it is not completely rejected. Instead, a large number of Chinese own rock groups and rock music were inspired and born in the 1980s and 1990s. This is the charm of music, which will ignore the differences between time and space, country, race and even civilization.

At the request of a group of musicians, Chen Xu sang this song again for loyalty to the country and said: "This song requires a man with a heroic and rude voice to sing, and also some burly men to play the scene of soldiers fighting against the Huns. Of course, the soundtrack must be arranged, the opening of the film is made of sonorous drum music, and the heroic harmony of soldiers..."

Chen Xu is even more familiar with this song than "Waiting for a Thousand Years", because this song is a must-order track every time he goes to KTV.

This time, Jiang Hu led only more than 2,000 cavalry to sweep the Xiongnu in Hebei, and also attacked the royal court and killed Touman Shanyu and captured his wife. Nearly 500 soldiers remained on the endless grassland forever, and their loyal souls buried their bones in a foreign land, which was also very consistent with the lyrics and music of this song. Therefore, when Chen Xu tutored and published this special issue in the newspaper today, the song immediately came to his heart again and decided to change this song into an MV to perform in the theater, hoping to inspire more people's patriotic enthusiasm.

The word patriotism is not very popular in the current Qin Dynasty. It does not mean that people in this era are not patriotic. For example, Qu Yuan was very patriotic and loved the Chu State. However, this patriotism only stayed in some of the gentry classes, and people who could not even have enough food to eat are not in the mood to love.

Furthermore, people in this era are still very vague about the concept of unified China. The concept of the Chinese nation has not appeared yet. The word China only refers to the Central Plains. After the Qin Dynasty wiped out the six kingdoms, the Qin Dynasty was the synonym for China. However, the only people who recognize the Qin Dynasty were basically the old Qin people. The people of the other six countries, from princes and nobles to peddlers and even slaves, did not agree with the rule of Qin, let alone love Qin.

It is certainly not possible to change this situation overnight. However, the various policies of the Qin Dynasty today have no way to resolve this contradiction. It has moved 120,000 households of the rich merchants in Xianyang, and moved copper and iron merchants in Nanyang, and drove millions of surrendered soldiers to the northwest wasteland to build the Great Wall to resist the Hun and Hu, arrested a large number of prisoners from the six countries to build the Mausoleum of Mount Li, and even a large number of ordinary people in the six countries were sold as slaves. These measures have indeed greatly suppressed the resistance forces of the six countries, but also greatly damaged the image of Qin in the minds of the people of the six countries. The opposition is becoming more and more serious. The Qin Dynasty is now like an active volcano, constantly accumulating hatred and strength, and will erupt one day.

If this terrifying pressure cannot be relieved, once a volcano erupts, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the Qin Dynasty.

Therefore, Chen Xu proposed to Qin Shihuang last time that he released the surrendered soldiers of the six countries. Although not all of them were released, this partial release could also make the people of the six countries feel a trace of goodwill of the emperor.

Then, it is to resolve the jumping hundreds of alchemists, and slowly form a new public opinion orientation under the influence of newspapers, so that the hundreds of alchemists' eyes will no longer only focus on the court, but will have a place to learn and use.

As long as more measures to resolve oppositions are slowly promoted, the resentment accumulated by the people may gradually fade away. This kind of patriotic remarks targeting foreigners will be constantly promoted, and the people's attention will be slowly attracted to foreigners, so that domestic conflicts can be transferred abroad.

The best way to resolve conflicts is to create a new conflict and then transfer the conflicts.

At present, Chen Xu is using newspapers and singing and dancing to continuously divert domestic conflicts. Although he is working alone, fortunately the emperor is still strongly supporting him, and Chen Ping and others are also spared no effort to help incite. Although they are all passive, the direction is under Chen Xu's control.

Many times, many things do not need to be explained too clearly. A naked performance is far less than half-covering. It is the most beautiful state to hold a pipa and half-cover your face. The passionate companion who is kept in the dark is the best comrades.
