"That has nothing to do with us. There are still many capable people in this world. What is this place?
It's the capital!
The most powerful people in Daming City are all in the capital. Let's just watch the show! "
They nodded at each other and said with a smile, "Yes, let's just watch the show!"
You Chi and Zhang Xian didn't get what they wanted, but they didn't care. If everyone knew about it, it would be meaningless for them.
They didn't have to wait for too long. Soon, the gong sounded.
After three gongs, a man stepped onto the stage and cupped his hands to the audience with a smile.
"Everyone, I'm Huang Shan, the manager of Pear Garden. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me. Our Pear Garden will definitely satisfy you!"
After saying that, Huang Shan cupped his hands again with a smile and waved to the waiter. "There's a pot of good tea on each table. I'll treat you to tea!"
"Good!" Someone shouted from below, and then more and more people shouted "good".
"Today is the first day of Pear Garden's opening. Thank you for your support. Let's not talk too much. Let's watch the first play, Locking Qilin Sack. If there's anything we can't do, please don't hold back. Come on, let's open the gong!"
As Huang Shan spoke, the gongs and drums sounded together. First, there was a burst of music, and then the show began.
Since Pear Garden and Beijing Opera appeared in the capital, they became popular in less than two days. People were talking about it everywhere.
The Locking Qilin Sack also became famous in an instant, and it even got the praise of countless scholars.
After all, the Locking Qilin Sack was completely in line with the values of scholars in this era. They should keep their promises, give favors without expecting anything in return, and return favors with a spring of water.
Since the Locking Qilin Sack was popular, Pear Garden was naturally also popular.
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Zhu Yijun was playing with a bird, a parrot. This thing was sent by Zhang Jing. People from Dongchang had already arrived in Haojiang, which was later known as Macau. They got this thing from the Hongyi people.
The people of Dongchang thought that it was a good toy, so they sent one to Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun likes it, but Zhu Yijun also told Zhang Jing that Dongchang's people don't need to suck up to them. There can't be a next time. As long as they send the information to Dongchang and do a good job, then Dongchang will get the credit.
San Dezi was standing not far away. His face was solemn and his body was bowed as he quietly waited for Zhu Yijun to speak.
"I've heard about what happened in Pear Orchard. Not bad!"
Zhu Yijun didn't look back. He just said lightly, "You don't have a place to stay in the city. I'll give you a house. It's a little small, but at least it's a place to stay."
"Thank you, Imperial Majesty!" San De Zi was overjoyed and quickly bowed.
Zhu Yijun nodded. If he wanted the horse to run, he had to feed it some grass.
"I heard that you have a brother?"
Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand. The parrot directly landed on his arm and rubbed against it intimately. Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and stroked the parrot's small head. He smiled and looked at San De Zi.
"Your Majesty, yes, I have a younger brother at home!" San De Zi nodded and said calmly.
San De Zi was in awe of the emperor in front of him. Although he went out to do something, he didn't know how many people of Dongchang were around him.
San De Zi used to be Feng Bao's man. Zhang Jing and Feng Bao didn't get along very well. Now, he was a thorn in Zhang Jing's side.
San De Zi didn't think that he was safe. He was afraid that if he was careless, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.
San De Zi was very clear that only the Imperial Majesty could protect him, so he was very attentive in doing things.
"Take it!" Zhu Yijun raised his head and looked at San De Zi. "Don't waste it at home."
"By the way, does he study or practice martial arts?
If he's good at studying, then send him to the Imperial College. If he's good at martial arts, then send him to the Imperial Bodyguard! "
Zhu Yijun was very clear that San De Zi's younger brother was neither good at studying nor martial arts. His family had been poor since he was a child. San De Zi's younger brother had been hanging around on the streets since he was a child.
He wasn't good at studying or martial arts, but he was very clear about the messy things in Jianghu.
"Your Majesty, this servant's younger brother is neither good at studying nor martial arts. He can't be a Imperial College or an Imperial Bodyguard!"
San De Zi was sweating. He didn't know what the Imperial Majesty meant. How could the Imperial Majesty not know what his younger brother was like?
Now that he asked himself, he didn't know what the Imperial Majesty meant. He could only bite the bullet and tell the truth.
After following Zhu Yijun for a period of time, San De Zi had also figured out some of Zhu Yijun's character. No matter if it was a good or bad thing, or if he did something wrong, as long as he told the truth, the punishment would be much lighter.
If he lied and concealed something, he would be severely punished for a misdemeanor.
"Take it!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile. "Go to the inner factory to teach those children!"
"In the future, you will have to go out. It's good to familiarize yourself with the affairs of the city. Your younger brother should be very good at this, right?" Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
San De Zi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Of course, his younger brother was very good at it. Ever since he entered the palace and obtained some power, he had taken care of his younger brother.
He had given him money and asked someone to take care of him. Now, he had become a gang leader.
It was a good thing to come to the inner factory. He knew that the emperor had poured a lot of effort into this inner factory.
Although it was said to be the inner factory, it was actually a pear garden to outsiders. There was a place in the pear garden to train opera singers. Most of them were orphans, boys and girls.
Other than learning how to sing, these children also had to learn how to be qualified spies.
In this era, they were called spies. In the future, they would be called intelligence agents. Different from Dongchang and the Imperial Bodyguard, what Zhu Yijun wanted to train were secret agents.
The training that Zhu Yijun gave them included psychology, combat, local customs, tracking and anti-tracking, establishment and management of an intelligence network, and so on. These people would be the skeleton of the inner factory in the future. They would be the first armed force that Zhu Yijun had created.
Zhu Yijun was very clear about what intelligence meant. Whether it was business intelligence or war intelligence, they were all very important.
Although Dongchang and the Imperial Bodyguard were also responsible for this task, they had gone astray. Furthermore, they were not easy to control. They needed to be reformed and reorganized.
Although he had not thought about the direction of the reform, he already had this idea.
Moreover, Zhu Yijun was very clear about what an intelligence agency under his control meant.
"Tell him to do a good job. In the future, it won't be a problem for him to have a wife and a son!"
Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "Of course, you should also do a good job. In the future, let your brother adopt a son for you. It can be considered as an heir."
"When the time comes, I will give him a good background. He can study and practice martial arts. We are the emperor and the minister. I will not treat a sincere person unfairly!"
