Huayu after the system left

...........

Lu Zheng hesitated for a long time.

He finally spoke up just before the dinner was about to end.

However, he didn't directly ask for a role; instead, he inquired whether "Zhu Xian" needed investment.

The intention is obvious.

The idea is to first gain a certain degree of influence in the project, and then gradually work on the role-related matters.

Zhou Yang naturally understood.

However, he did not refuse outright.

Instead, he started calculating the expenses in front of everyone, recounting all the costs incurred in preparing for "Zhu Xian" over the past two years.

In the end, the total amount reached 2.7 million.

Even Zhou Yang himself was shocked by this number.

Not to mention others.

Liu Shishi's eyes were already blazing with anger. She decided to give her brat a good beating when she got home, thinking that even if it was all his own money, he shouldn't be so reckless.

That's such a waste of money.

Jing Tian's eyes, however, shone with intense longing.

After all, the more thorough the preparation beforehand, the more it proves that her judgment was correct.

Whoever plays Lu Xueqi will definitely become famous.

Lu Zheng smiled wryly and said, "Brother Zhou, even if you don't want others to get involved in the 'Zhu Xian' project, don't try to dissuade me with such exaggerated numbers."

Without waiting for Zhou Yang's reply.

Brother Wang, who was standing to the side, spoke up directly, "It's not an exaggeration at all, because every penny goes through my hands, and he even just undercounted one transaction."

"hiss....."

Lu Zheng gasped in shock.

Zhou Yang asked, somewhat puzzled, "Huh? What did I miss?"

"You forgot to include the fee for the fashion design."

"What? My sister-in-law is actually asking me for money?"

That's right.

The costume design for "Zhu Xian" was led by Wang Ge's wife.

The other party is not a professional fashion designer.

But his only hobby is making his own clothes, especially Hanfu with a cross-collar and right-fastening, and he spends most of his spare time on this.

Hearing Zhou Yang's words.

Brother Wang said with a forced smile, "What? You want to get something for nothing? Do you know how many days your sister-in-law hasn't cooked for me because of this? She doesn't even care much about the kids."

Zhou Yang sensed the deep resentment in the other person's tone and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, no, Brother Wang, you can decide on the payment yourself. It's all going through you anyway."

"Stop. I won't do anything that violates my principles. You can talk to her yourself later."

"no problem."

Listening to the conversation between the two.

Lu Zheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

he knows.

I definitely can't get involved in the "Zhu Xian" project.

So be it.

It seems we can only pin our hopes on the film "The Great Wall," which is currently being filmed.

A combination of Zhang Yimou and Hollywood.

A blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States.

This should make Tian Tian, ​​the female lead, famous.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's mood immediately improved a lot.

.........

The next morning.

Brother Wang then took Zhou Yang to meet with the military personnel.

The content is basically the same as what I said last night.

The number of people who came was a bit higher than expected.

There were more than twenty of them, exceeding the total number of people in the algorithm team.

In addition, due to the need for secrecy.

Zhou Yang had to put in some effort to reasonably arrange for these soldiers to join Tianfeng Special Effects Company.

He doesn't need to worry about anything else; he only needs to do this.

After several hours of discussion.

Finally, a practical and feasible plan was developed.

The military will set up an inconspicuous company in another city and place people there.

As for Zhou Yang...

They would use the excuse that "Zhu Xian" needs to be launched ahead of schedule, so it is imperative to speed up the research of the algorithm. In order to ensure quality and quantity, the number of people in the algorithm team must be increased, and then the acquisition of that company can be carried out in a logical manner.

After the military left.

Zhou Yang immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Brother Wang laughed and said, "I told you not to be nervous, I don't know why you were so tense the whole time."

"You make it sound so easy, but this is the first time I've ever done something this big."

"What? You think you haven't done much in the cultural arena?"

"It's not much compared to enhancing our army's firepower."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang immediately laughed and scolded, "I knew you were a hawk."

Zhou Yang quickly retorted, "Don't label me like that. I'm a staunch conservative, I just have a slightly unique understanding of the saying 'There is only one China in the world.'"

"Stop trying to be clever. Do you really think I don't use the internet?"

"hey-hey."

Zhou Yang smiled shyly, then rubbed his hands together and asked, "Can I say something now?"

Brother Wang's eyes instantly turned sharp. "I'm warning you, don't mess around. It's not your time to shine yet. Just stay in the entertainment industry."

"We've already cooperated with the military, so why should I keep holding back?"

"Okay, you can say something that's not too extreme."

"Forehead....."

Zhou Yang rolled his eyes.

Not too extreme.

This premise is really a bit of a pain.

After a while, he tried to ask, "How about we talk about those stigmatized words?"

"That's fine, but you absolutely cannot name names."

"Then I can talk about ancient times, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he could only agree in the end.

Zhou Yang smiled brightly.

He can finally say what he wants to say.

He then immediately started editing his Weibo post.

title.

This will offer a new perspective on history and discuss those stigmatized terms.

Let's take the term "eunuch" as an example.

In popular perception, eunuchs are eunuchs or castrated men, but is that really the case?

When I was reading the History of Ming Dynasty, I was very puzzled as to why there were so many eunuchs with names and surnames.

Until some clues are connected.

Then he realized that the eunuch didn't seem to be the father-in-law.

Let's start with the Qing dynasty's revision of the history of the Ming dynasty.

Volume 192 of the Biographies in the History of Ming.

The Eunuchs' Scroll.

Zheng He.

A native of Yunnan.

This refers to what the world calls the "Three Treasures Eunuch".

He initially served the Prince of Yan at his residence, and through his meritorious service in raising an army, he was promoted to the rank of eunuch.

This shows that "eunuch" was an official title in the Ming Dynasty, rather than referring specifically to the group of eunuchs.

Then I thought of an official position in ancient times.

That is the Grand Supervisor, which has existed since the time of the Yellow Emperor.

Its duty is to represent the central government in exercising oversight over local tribes.

In later generations, it evolved from supervising local tribes to supervising feudal lords, and also acquired other functions, such as managing internal palace affairs and overseeing central temple and supervisory institutions.

But in general, the basic responsibilities are exactly as they sound.

Supervision.

I'll talk about the character "太" separately later.

Think of other words containing "too".

Empress Dowager.

The retired emperor.

Prince.

Grand Tutor.

Grand Tutor.

Taibao.

Dazai.

Taichang.

Grand Commandant.

Emperor Taizong. (A Western Zhou dynasty official position, in charge of ancestral temple sacrifices and rituals, second only to the Three Dukes in status.)

Every specification is top-notch.

These are all excellent words.

Why does it change when it comes to eunuchs?

So I made a very bold assumption.

What if the eunuch was not a court official?

Emperor Taizu of Ming once issued a special system for eunuchs.

They cannot concurrently hold the position of a foreign official, nor can they be granted civil or military titles. They are not allowed to wear the clothes of a foreign official, and their official rank cannot exceed the fourth grade.

They even put an iron sign at the palace gate, saying that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, and those who violated it would be beheaded.

At the same time, he strictly forbade all civil and military officials from having any correspondence with the palace officials.

In addition, there were the imperial ancestral precepts.

However, the Qing dynasty's revised history of the Ming dynasty tells me that Zhu Di, who succeeded in suppressing the rebellion, actually sent a eunuch with tens of thousands of people on several grand voyages to the Western Ocean.

Are you afraid that you won't be able to hold onto your throne?

Several subsequent emperors also pushed for the abolition of eunuchs.

For example, both Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong, father and son, had people who castrated themselves to seek their favor after they ascended the throne, but all of these people were exiled to the frontier.

Emperor Renzong, in particular, greatly disliked castration and strictly forbade its use.

However, at the same time, the Ming emperors also relied heavily on eunuchs.

Forget it.

It's best to avoid writing about the history of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

That's absolutely insulting to people's intelligence.
