The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 278 The Emperor is Coming
Huang Sheng miscalculated. The cost of printing in this era is too high. The cost price of a comic book is 260 coins. The Huang family supplies the books to the capital bookseller at the cost price, and the selling price is limited to [-] coins.

Because I don't know how many copies can be sold, there are only [-] copies in print, and [-] copies are kept for free, and [-] copies are sold out in three days in major bookstores in the capital.

Although it doesn’t make any money, the reprint won’t lose money, and you can still earn a little labor fee. The key is this is spiritual food, a weapon against slavery, and you have to do it at a loss!So Huang Sheng still notified Huangjiawan Island to print at full capacity.

Huang Sheng is not afraid of piracy, because there is no profit here, and his team is still mass producing, and it is difficult to maintain capital and small profits.

Do piracy?Shouldn't they be rigid?They do not have the movable type printing technology of the Huang family, and the cost is higher. They do not have the all-wood pulp paper of the Huang family, and the quality cannot be guaranteed.

In the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, the King of Letters, entered the palace to visit his elder brother. Zhu Youxiao felt that his body was still strong today, so he took the initiative to ask about the plot of the "Blood Fire Liaodong" drama.

Of course, King Xin likes to tell stories to the emperor. This story is so attractive that the emperor can't bear it anymore. In the end, the two brothers decided to go to the Wang Gongchang Grand Theater to watch a play together.

The [-]-year-old Wei Zhongxian who has been serving in front of the emperor also supports it. Anyway, it is harmless in the inner city. It is estimated that the officials and censors will shut up, because this drama is a positive work that inspires thousands of people in Ming Dynasty to fight against Jiannu. It's not a plaything.

At this moment, Lord Gao Di sent the memorial in person, and there were actually many censors and six subjects who gave the memorial to the matter, and they all suggested that the Holy Son of Heaven should go to the "Blood and Fire Liaodong" drama.

Ge Lao Gaodi saw that it was a memorial book that was beneficial to his own person Huang Sheng, of course he would not delay for a moment, and let it appear in the Longshu case as soon as possible.

It turns out that the grades of these censors and givers are too low, and it was their turn to watch the show for nothing yesterday.Their duty is to be the officials of admonishment and picketing. This kind of good show is better than the eloquent letters of advice signed by hundreds of officials!

The Holy Son of Heaven watched the play and was educated, maybe he changed his mind and tried his best to improve his governance!

It was rare for Emperor Tianqi to feel happy. He had never had the experience of gaining the support of civil and military officials for something he wanted to do. Today he wanted to see a play, but the ministers came first with a memorial and suggested that he go. It was so interesting.

King Xin immediately ran errands in person to find a talented man to arrange pick-up. At first, he thought that Mr. Huang would be flattered, and he would drive away the idlers and wait for the emperor's brother.

Unexpectedly, this great talent warmly welcomed the emperor, and proposed to invite His Majesty to have fun with the people. It is best to keep the car light and easy. The three best boxes in the Grand Theater are reserved for the royal family. As for how to arrange it, the emperor will figure it out.

The following Wang Cheng'en Khan all came down, he already fell in love with this Master Huang who respected him so much, seeing him treat the emperor's favor like this, he was afraid that he would lose his heart.

Huang Sheng could see that Zhu Youjian was not happy, and he still smiled and said: "King Xin doesn't know something, and watching a play pays attention to the atmosphere, and the atmosphere will infect each other. Since the Holy Majesty chooses to come to the Grand Theater to watch the play, as a courtier, he should give the Holy Majesty the best." Perform and create the best atmosphere."

Zhu Youjian was thinking about it without comment.Huang Sheng said again: "You don't need to be in trouble, King Xin. You can go back and ask the emperor to make a decision. The Huang family can arrange a performance for the emperor alone in the afternoon, and the emperor can also come to watch with the people at night."

The scheming Zhu Youjian was really stunned, and he decided to go back and tell the emperor to listen to his arrangements.

Emperor Tianqi immediately expressed that he didn't need to perform for himself after hearing the music with the people. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether it was true that the audience who watched the show cried bitterly.

Mr. Huang Sheng doesn't have the sense of being a monarch and minister. The tickets for the evening have already been sold out. No matter what, he can't let the emperor reserve the venue. Why should he?

I don't owe him the Zhu family!He didn't spend money on theater tickets.How can I break my promise to others, then everyone who spends money to buy theater tickets should be respected, they are customers and gold masters, how can I just let them go away disappointed.

Therefore, Huang Sheng was only willing to promise Xinwang to give three boxes at night, and he could also book the venue if he wanted, and he would hold a special room for the emperor in the afternoon.

If Emperor Apocalypse chose to come to the private room to watch the show at night, it would be easier for Huang Sheng to deal with it, because the three private rooms were already arranged for officials who were entertaining guests, and everyone was recorded.

Just go to say hello in advance and tell them that the Grand Theater is not convenient for reception today, and the Huang family will use these three boxes to receive Wang Xin, and invite them on another day.

It is estimated that there is no one who does not understand and dares to fight with the king of Xin. Besides, the Huang family has no obligation to invite them. Now it is not that they are not invited to the theater, it is just a new treat for another day. No one should be shameless.

King Xin came back again, and he told Huang Sheng that the emperor's brother had decided to have fun with the people. Che Jiancong came to the box to watch the show at night, and he had notified the British public to arrange vigilance.

Eunuch Wei also notified Dongchang and Jinyiwei to start an open and unannounced visit to the idlers who came and went to and from the new area of ​​Wanggongchang.

Huang Sheng wasn't afraid of the emperor having an accident on his own territory at all. Those three boxes were designed for receiving distinguished guests. As long as the special entrance on the second floor was guarded, no one could rush in.

Seeing that King Xin was very serious, Huang Sheng had no choice but to take him to take a good look at the terrain, and explained the structure here, telling King Xin that as long as he arranges the guards to guard a few positions, he can unknowingly set up a network of heaven and earth.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian was very satisfied, and returned to the palace to return his orders. In the evening, he personally accompanied the emperor's brother, leaving Wang Chengen and his bodyguards to participate in the security work.

Seeing that it was still early in the afternoon, Huang Sheng saw that it was only two hours before he left the show, so he invited Wang Chengen and all the guards to drink, of course there was a limited supply of drinks, and at night there was a task of protecting the emperor, no one was allowed to drink too much.

Huang Sheng also hurriedly called Zhang Zhiji over, Gao Zhimou and Sun Yuanhua accompanied the young eunuch Wang Chengen to drink together, and naturally Liu Guozheng and his own soldiers greeted all the guards.

There were no outsiders, they were all good friends, Huang Sheng was very open at the banquet, talking nonsense, not treating Wang Chengen as an outsider, and was very polite to the little eunuch, talking and laughing with him equally.

Zhang Zhiji and Sun Yuanhua looked at them so close, it seemed incredible. It seemed that Huang Sheng really liked this little eunuch. Could it be that he is as good as Long Yang?

Gao Zhimou was a Beijing official in the military department of the capital, and knew that today's eunuchs should not be offended, he joked casually: "Master Huang likes Wang Xiaogong so much, why don't you recognize him as your younger brother?"

This obviously touched the heartstrings of the talented man, and Huang Sheng suddenly felt sad after taking a big sip of wine.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh! Dozens of members of my Huang family died under Jiannu's iron hooves, and my younger sister died of illness on the way to escape. If she was alive, she should be ten years old."
