Edo Traveler

v10 Chapter 26: Huairou art is effective

Tadaemon, who was sitting quietly in the private room on the second floor, looked at the people of Edo who had applauded on the first floor with great satisfaction.

   It's a good time to leave home to save my father, who expected the top pick in the emperor's list!

   The audience downstairs saw that the male protagonist was beaten up by corrupt officials and the father and son went to jail for injustice. When I saw the first place in the male lead high school class A, when he praised Edo, he cheered again. When the general 様 ordered a retrial of the unjust case, the reunification of the injustice, the father and son were reunited, and when the stolen official was cut off, the audience stood up and applauded fiercely.

   The applause lasted for a long time, and many people even shed tears, crying and applauding. Everyone praised General Tokugawa's Cadashin for being born wise and able to save others. And the Mizuno Tadosei who selected Yataro Iwasaki, because his father Mizuno Tadashi won the competition in the final, there are many people in it.

   Now there is even more of his unbiased deeds in selecting talents for the country. That's really a good name for the father and son, which is spread all over the world. Everyone says that Hamamatsu Hou is the pillar of the shogunate, and the world is full of sights.

   And Tademon, who presided over this case and cleaned up the wrongs of Yataro Iwasaki's family, also won praise from countless people. Chuemon himself has a good reputation in Edo, and now such a thing is happening, it's icing on the cake.

   "The shogunate is so popular, Wannian Antai."

   In fact, Ii Naobi, who is also very fond of this type of performing arts, sighed sincerely as he looked at the cheering crowd in the audience. Although he was an old feudal bureaucrat who didn't take the ideas of the ordinary people to heart, he was still very happy to see the people embrace the shogunate so much.

   "Isn't it destined to be ordinary, hahahahaha..." Mizuno Tadashi also sat aside.

   The private room on the second floor is quite large. Except for the absence of Kuse Hiroshu, the other senior middlemen are all present in the shogunate. The stage play of Yataro Iwasaki that has been performed is popular in Edo and all areas of Ekai. After learning about this, Tadaoemon suggested that everyone go out and take a look, but Naobi Ii agreed immediately.

  Because several old Chinese came together, it was bound to be alarmed, so Chuemon ordered Nara Shigeru to arrange a few people to take a small boat, sneak in through the side entrance of the stage, and then went straight upstairs. In this way, you can watch the movie normally without being noticed.

   "This person happened to be selected, and this case happened to happen again. It is really destined by God." Matsudaira Qixuan also felt a little weird.

   This kind of thing that should only happen in the drama, it really happened in front of my eyes, and then was put on the stage of the drama, it is really incredible.

   "It's good to choose Yu Family in the previous expansion." Chuemon also laughed.

   It only paid the price of dozens of fifty-five royal family members, and collected all the literary and artistic creators who are active in the Edo market. Now one by one cheerfully sings praises for the shogunate, this is the true value!

   After a few decades, this group will be abandoned again, so we will continue to expand it to dozens of people. This matter must be regarded as a routine of the shogunate, and in the future, we will always pay attention to the situation in the literary and artistic circles, and regularly add fresh blood.

   "The two towns of the north and the south are ordered to follow, and I always understand that those who become famous can be assigned to the royal family." Naobi Iii, like the previous Mizuno Tadakuni, is one size fits all.

   Since I can't control your mouth or your pen, either I will physically destroy you directly, so you can't make a sound anymore. Either strictly enforce literary and artistic control directly, and all uncensored ones are not allowed to be distributed.

   Under such severe high pressure, there are still all kinds of "bad public opinions" emerging. It was Chuemon who changed this approach and used a more gentle collection strategy to reverse the continued deterioration of the situation in one fell swoop.

   The shogunate’s current finances have one thing to say, and they are indeed better than before. After all, money can be borrowed, and the customs can have hundreds of thousands of small balances to supplement the finances every year. This balance seems to be gradually increasing. From the first year, it only had a balance of tens of thousands of taels, and now it has a small balance of hundreds of thousands. After ten or eight years, I am afraid that it will have a surplus of millions or even millions.

  Having so much money to feed hundreds of literary and art workers is not a matter of a word!

   "How many stages are there for the Asakusa and Kanda generations now?" Ii Naobi suddenly turned around and waved to Shigeru Nara behind.

   "There are more than twenty homes that rise and fall, but the total number is about this." Shigeru Nara hurriedly walked up a few steps on his knees and answered Ii Naobi.

   "It's so prosperous..." Ii Naobi said that he didn't know what it meant.

   Shigeru Nara didn't dare to take the conversation, he didn't run this kind of entertainment business anyway. As a stockholder of the shogunate, being able to join the grain industry, usury industry and raw silk industry has made Nara Shigeru the country's leading merchant. It is comparable to Konoike's house, which is dominated by Osaka.

   "Let me see the most recent repertoire." Naobi Iii groaned for a while and continued.

"Yes."

Shigeru Nara, who turned around and ran downstairs, immediately approached the theater owner and asked for several recent repertoire lists~lightnovelpub.net~Ii Naobe wants to see, and the rest of the old middle guards are not uniform, so I don’t want to prepare a few more copies. wrong.

   Fu went back to the second floor, and as expected, Ii Naobi watched, and Matsudaira Qixuan and Mizuno Tadase also watched. Shigeru Nara handed them one by one, and silently refilled tea and replaced them with new snacks.

   On the repertoire list, what will definitely be staged every day is this scene of Yataro Iwasaki, and this scene is a big one, which takes three or four hours to perform. It is usually placed in the afternoon, that is, after lunch, until sunset. It's convenient for rich and idle slackers, don't have to get up early.

   I heard that the theater in Osaka is a different model. In addition to theaters, huge dormitories have been built. Soliciting customers the night before, and then everyone drank and had fun, happy till 11 or 12 in the middle of the night. At nine o'clock in the morning the next morning, the guests woke up and began to perform the current hot repertoire.

   Two modes, Osaka’s may earn a little more.

   Going back to the repertoire, except for the scene in front of me, the other repertoires are all martial arts dramas that the people of Edo prefer, and the content is similar to the kind of heroes and heroes. For elegant art, ordinary people don't have the energy to understand it.

   is the same as the Kunqu group on the neighboring mainland slowly losing to the big Hui groups. After Qianlong, the Kunqu Opera, which was mainly popular among scholars and officials, gradually declined. The more lively, cheerful and easy-to-understand Huiban operas gradually occupied the dominance of the arena.

   嗐, anyway, I looked around and saw that there were no repertoires with prohibitions. Ii Naobi nodded slightly, expressing his approval for the success of the "literary and artistic control".
