"You said, let me participate in the competition on behalf of the Hehuan Sect?" Tang Yue thought the whole thing was incredible. Gongyang Bo said: "That's right, but you are not competing with the people of Wanhuan Tower alone, you will compete with other Hehuan Sects.
All the disciples of the sect are together."
Xu Xiaolian took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea, "Junior sister must help us!"
After learning the dance, Tang Yue heard from Gongyang Bo about the long-standing dispute between Wanhua Tower and Hehuan Pavilion.
When Hehuan Pavilion took root in Huayue City, Wanhua Tower had not yet opened.
After the musician came to Huayue City, he managed the business well and slowly developed a small tavern into a large restaurant. At this time, the two families were still in peace. Due to the distance, Hehuan Sect disciples often visited Wanhua.
building.
About two hundred years ago, the Hehuan Sect had more and more disciples, and the consumption in the sect was too great, and it gradually could no longer support it.
The Hehuan sect leader of that generation was still the master of the current sect leader. He felt that if things continued like this, the Hehuan sect would dismiss its disciples and return to Penglai in despair.
He must increase revenue and reduce expenditure so that the Hehuan Sect can survive. To reduce expenditure is to reduce unnecessary extravagance and waste. This is good, but it is difficult to increase revenue.
Although the Hehuan Sect has a large land in the city, it does not have its own production area and cannot sell ore or plant it, and the Hehuan Sect people are not good at doing this.
The previous sect leader walked to the Wanhua Tower and saw the women dancing on the stage. There were many guests throwing spiritual stones and money tickets on the stage. It suddenly occurred to him that everyone in the Hehuan sect had to practice dance, and there were also many dancing masters.
If they are allowed to perform on stage, they can not only collect money, but also encourage disciples to concentrate on practicing their special skills, killing two birds with one stone.
The Hehuan Sect still had some money. After he returned, he bought several restaurants and teahouses and let his disciples perform songs and dances. The effect was very good.
The sect leader was flexible and quickly managed the restaurant and teahouse in a flourishing manner. He also bought a nearby building and used it as a place for disciples and outsiders to practice together. As a result, more customers came to the Hehuan Sect to spend money.
Gradually, many regular customers of Wanhua Building lost their sponsors and moved to business premises under the Hehuan Sect. This made the owner of Wanhua Building very dissatisfied and began to cause trouble for Hehuan Building in various ways.
They would steal the Hehuan Sect’s ingredients, tea and wine, making it impossible for the Hehuan Sect to continue operating. It was somewhat effective at first, but later the incoming sect leader came up with a way to teach ordinary people and monks some basic dual cultivation health-preserving methods.
technique.
If they can't provide refreshments, they can only provide some courses. Moreover, the medical training in Hehuan Sect is also good. They are best at adjusting the body from the aspects of yin and yang. They are also good at treating infertility, allowing countless childless couples to realize their dreams.
Nowadays, the guild halls and restaurants under the Hehuan Sect are really popular. Even if there is nothing delicious to eat there, many people will spend money to attend the health courses in those guild halls.
Tang Yue quite admires them. She often sees this kind of marketing routine in modern times.
After the Hehuan Sect has a steady stream of cash flow, it is no longer afraid that Wanhua Building's supplies will be blocked, or purchased at a high price, or shipped from other places.
Moreover, they hold grudges, and if any merchant feels sorry for them, they will no longer purchase goods from that merchant.
Now the Shang family in Huayue City couldn't help it. Whose money is not earned? If the entire Hehuan Sect loses its long-term business because of Wanhua Tower, it will be more than worth the gain.
Originally, based on their judgment, newcomers would not be able to do business for long, so they cooperated with Wanhualou. Now that they see that the Hehuan Sect has survived, they still take the initiative to make peace with them.
Wanhualou's plan failed, so he struck another blow and found local ruffians to frame him.
They are not afraid of the Hehuan Sect. There are countless large and small sects in Huayue City, and they are also under the jurisdiction of Xianyuan Mountain. If the Hehuan Sect bullies others, just go to the government and sue them.
Wanhualou framed them in every possible way, and the people of Hehuan Pavilion couldn't bear it anymore. They were not weak, and they also took revenge. As time went on, the feud between the two families became deeper and deeper, and there were even small-scale group fights. The city lord
The government has tried to mediate many times but to no avail.
Huayue City is a city with a long history of culture. Arts and literature are flourishing. Special places are set aside in the streets and alleys for literati and magicians to perform. The artists in the city also love to perform. If the spectators like it, they will leave a reward.
, it’s okay to watch the fun if you don’t have money.
There are also thirty-six stages built in the city, scattered in the populated areas of Huayue City, for actors who want to perform.
Wanhua Tower has a group of artists who specialize in performing on the city's stage, including singing, dancing, and opera. Although the reward given by each person is small, there are low-grade spiritual stones, and more gold, silver, and copper coins. Plants, but every
If there are many people who give bounties in one game, a lot of money can be given out in one game.
If you can perform many performances a month, your income will be amazing.
The people of Hehuan Pavilion began to compete with Wanhua Tower for these stages, especially on important holiday days such as the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, when people would hang out on the streets, which was a good day to collect money.
The people in Hehuan Pavilion take dance as a training and can dance for three days and three nights without any heavy choreography, and can occupy the stage all the time. As a result, the dancers raised in Wanhua Pavilion cannot perform, cannot receive money, and suffer heavy losses.
Wanhualou could not have imagined that when they ran restaurants and teahouses, they would also face the same situation as the Hehuan Sect, with more people and less money. He could no longer bear it and led the people in the building to the city lord's palace to sue the Hehuan Sect for being domineering and not giving money to others.
Way to survive.
At first, the City Lord's Mansion was thinking of adjusting, settling the grievances between the two families, and rationally allocating the stage. Unexpectedly, a large-scale fight broke out between the two families the next day. Although the disciples of the Hehuan Sect were stronger and could care about their identities, only the lower-ranking disciples were allowed to fight.
The top disciples left, so both Wanhualou and Hehuan Sect suffered many casualties.
The city lord at that time knew that he could not continue like this. If more people died, the two sects would fight to the death, and a tragedy would occur.
So the city lord's palace came up with a solution. The two families could compete to determine the ownership of the stage on important occasions, but no damage should occur. Since both families wanted to occupy the stage and perform singing and dancing performances, then they would have a duel.
A competition will be held every five years to determine the thirty-six strongest dancers in Huayue City. Whose dancer belongs to them will have the right to own the stage on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
The stages are numbered from the center to the edge. Stage No. 1 is the stage with the largest number of people in the center of the city, and the ownership rights are allocated from the first to the thirty-sixth place.
Tang Yue raised a question at this time: "Are all dancers women?" She knew that many men in Hehuan Pavilion were also dance artists.
"Here, dancer is just a title and has no gender distinction." Su Yuezhu explained to her.
Gongyang Bo's tone became serious, "Since twenty years ago, I, the Hehuan Sect Dancer, have never been in the top thirty-six."
Tang Yue was surprised: "How could it be? Hehuan Sect uses dance as a cultivation method and has been passed down from generation to generation. It should be better than Wanhua Tower."
