After Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen inspected the three schools, they began to devote themselves to planting high-yield grain.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Jia sent three servants to Bozhou, Yuzhou and Wucheng with peanuts, corn and pumpkin seeds.

The three of them have to wait until they finish harvesting sweet potatoes and other crops in June before returning to Beili Village.

In the three counties, villagers were notified a year ago that high-yielding grain seeds would be available for them to grow next year, so most villagers started to open up wasteland when they had free time a year ago.

Shen Jiarong ordered the three county magistrates to use three villages as a unit, one village to grow sweet potatoes, one village to grow corn, and one village to grow peanuts.

After the harvest, each family is only allowed to keep 40% of the seeds for the next season, and exchange the rest for the other two types of grains. Some villages have a large or small population and cannot exchange, so everyone goes to the county government at the same time to exchange.

Each county uses the village closest to the county seat as a teaching point. The person in charge of each village goes to learn and then teaches the villagers how to plant the next day.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen rode horses to check each village.

The villagers of Beili Village, including Uncle Qi and Yang Dazhuang, went to the Shen family to learn how to plant.

The tenant farmers of the grain farm are given two kinds of grain to each household by the head of the farm.

After all three counties were planted, it was already the tenth day of February, and Shen Jia received several letters from the capital.

Xiao Yichen came out after handling the matter and saw Shen Jia holding a note in his hand, the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes curved into a crescent moon, full of smiles.

"Jiajia, who sent the message that made you so happy?" Xiao Yichen asked curiously.

Shen Jia raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess!"

Xiao Yichen pretended to be deep in thought, "It's Captain Du? Right?"

"Yes! They arrived in the capital the day before the Lantern Festival. After two days of rest, the theater officially opened on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Since its opening, it has made at least a thousand taels a day. Do you think I am happy?"

"I'm so happy, Jiajia is so awesome!"

"Hehe! You are awesome too! If you hadn't asked Jiang Zelin to help promote it, I wouldn't have been able to establish a foothold in the capital so quickly just relying on my people and the people from the Qingping Prefecture."

"I'm glad I could help you."

Shen Jia shared the good news from Beijing with Xiao Yichen with a smile.

It turned out that on the first day that the Du family came to Beijing, Tan Wenqing went to Jiang Zelin and asked him to help promote the theater. Xiao Yichen had already given an order to Jiang Zelin. As long as Shen Jia's people needed his help, they must do it first. Done in no time.

Jiang Zelin immediately sent someone to invite Prince An. Prince An heard that there was a new play, so he went to the theater with his guards. The Du family gave him tea and melon seeds, and performed a play for him. Prince An liked it immediately .

Jiang Zelin also knows how to get things done. While watching the play, he told Prince An about the rules of the theater and asked him to help him refer to it. After hearing this, Prince An thought that such rules were not bad. In the future, women and children could have another place to relax.

Following Shen Jia's instructions, Tan Wenqing gave Prince An a 20% discount card and reserved the best box for him, which Prince An happily accepted. On the second day, the Half-day Theater was officially opened. Prince An took his family to the theater early in the morning, followed by Uncle Qingping. The other nobles were wondering why Prince An would go to the theater even if he liked to go to the theater. With women and children? How is this appropriate?

Then I saw Qing Pingbo taking his family to the theater, and later I saw the upright Chen Yushi taking his family to the theater.

Those aristocratic families are not calm anymore, there must be something fishy in this theater! Wouldn't it be a loss if they didn't join in the fun?

So, everyone took their wives and children to the Half Day Theater.

This is a big deal! The show was so good to watch and the melon seeds were so delicious that none of them wanted to leave.

Later, the great-grandson of Duke Pingguo made a fuss and wanted to invite the Du family troupe to perform at his home. The wife of Duke Pingguo arrogantly ordered Du troupe to perform at Duke Ping's mansion the next day.

The wife of Prince Ping was the stepmother of Captain Du, and Leader Du didn't even glance at her.

Tan Wenqing repeated the rules for half-day leisure on the stage: "From tomorrow onwards, Banyuexian Theater will only be open for an hour every day at Shen Shi. No romance or making trouble is allowed. Also, no matter how rich or powerful you are, None of us will act at home.

In other words, except for the Half-day Theater, we will not go to any place to perform. Anyone who causes trouble will be blacklisted and will not be allowed to enter the Half-day Theater from now on. These are the rules set by our owner, and I hope you can abide by them. "

The Prince Ping's wife immediately quit her job and ordered the servants she brought to start smashing the theater. The moment they started, all those servants were thrown out of the theater by the theater's security personnel.

At this time, Prince An Shiran went downstairs and said: "I am a prince of a country, and I still abide by the rules of the theater. Is your status in the Duke of Pingguo higher than that of the king?"

Those who were still secretly trying to force people from the theater to perform in their homes have all stopped. How could they be nobler than Prince An?

The wife of Prince Pingguo lost such a big face, so she complained to Prince Pingguo when she returned.

When the Prince of Pingguo saw that his wife and grandson had suffered such great grievances, he felt very distressed. That night, he sent people to smash up the Half Day Theater. Ling Yunsu's people captured them on the spot and used some small tricks to let them go. They testified against Prince Pingguo in court.

The next day, Tan Wenqing sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to complain. The current Jingzhao Yin was He Changming, and he was one of his own. Without saying a word, he invited the prince of Pingguo to come, and after interrogating him, he was beaten ten times. plate.

The dignified prince Pingguo was beaten with a plank. This was to rub the face of Duke Ping on the ground. Duke Ping was so angry that he took people to play Jingzhao Yin the next day.

How could Chen Yushi and Qing Pingbo let him succeed? They also followed the prince Pingguo and his wife.

Emperor Jingwen knew the whole story a long time ago, and also knew that Shen Jia opened the Half-day Theater. He glanced at Ping Guogong lightly: "Ping Guogong has no good tutoring. He has been dismissed from office for three months. His son, Ping Guogong, has misbehaved. , not worthy of being the Duke of Ping..."

The Duke of Ping was so frightened that he knelt down to plead guilty before Emperor Jingwen finished speaking. Emperor Jingwen frightened him and then put him down gently.

The next day, Emperor Jingwen and Fulu secretly went to the theater to watch a play, but were caught by Prince An. Soon everyone in the capital knew that even the emperor loved to watch the half-day theater. It resounded throughout the capital overnight, and the daily tickets were sold out early, making it hard to get a ticket.

Prince Pingguo and his wife became a joke in the capital after being blacklisted by the Half Day Theater. They also thought of revenge in various ways, but in the end they all ended in vain. Another key issue is that their youngest son, daughter, and grandson would rather go to the theater to watch a show than others.

Following the popularity of the previous drama "Journey to the West", Ban Yue Xian Theater's "Journey to the West" has become as popular. If you have not gone to Ban Yue Xian Theater to see a play, you will be laughed at.
