The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 190

[Chapter 190 Recruiting Manpower]

Of course, in addition to this reason, he also has his own considerations.

First of all, he is a kind person.

In this era, actors and actresses are undoubtedly poor people living at the bottom of society.

Fang Xiu has always regarded himself as a good young man who is willing to help others. If building a theater to industrialize entertainment can make these poor people’s lives better, then why not do it?

The second and most important reason is.

When the entertainment industry in this world began to prosper, actors with humble status became idols in the hearts of everyone and were sought after by countless people.

A name written down casually is as valuable as a poem passed down from generation to generation. Wherever he goes, he is surrounded by countless people and hears extremely warm cheers.

People knew which actor was the best in the world in dancing and whose singing voice was unparalleled in the world, but they did not know who the emperor was.

Scenes like this always bring back some memories deep in his heart.

When people live in this world, both material and spiritual enjoyment are indispensable.

When people are no longer hungry, they will pursue higher spiritual pleasures.

This can be seen from the sold-out “Nie Xiaoqian” show.

This is a huge cake, a cake that no one has noticed yet. You must seize the opportunity before others notice it!

This is also an invisible force. In some ways, it is more powerful than Zhuxuanzhai, and Fang Xiu must hold it in his hands.

Since the incident in Prince Ning’s Mansion, the capital has been as calm as usual.

In fact, only Fang Xiu himself knew what kind of undercurrents were surging beneath the calm water.

Maybe he will never be able to live as carelessly as before.

“Sir, what did you just say?”

Old Man Sun thought that he had heard wrong just now, and his voice was trembling a little.

Before Fang Xiu could speak, he asked again: “Are you willing to take in those poor people wandering around and give them a bite to eat?”

The old man’s voice was still trembling, for fear that he had heard the wrong words, or that he would be wrong. meaning.

In his memory, whether the actors and actresses in the capital could have enough to eat depended entirely on luck, especially those who wandered around outside Goulan.

If you meet a generous guest, you won’t be hungry for a long time, but if you meet a guest who only watches the show without giving any reward, you will have to tighten your belt in the next few days.

Only fixed wages are the only way to save them and get them out of the sea of misery.

Fang Xiu was a little puzzled when he saw Old Man Sun looking like this.

I don’t understand why he was so excited all of a sudden.

After thinking for a while, he asked, “What do you think about giving them one tael of silver a month?”

“Too much, too much!”

Old Man Sun’s beard trembled with excitement.

In this line of work, being able to have enough to eat is God’s blessing. Being able to earn one or two silver dollars every month is something most people can’t even dream of.

Don’t do this kind of good thing unless you get kicked in the head by a donkey.

“During this period, you should pay more attention. If it doesn’t work, you can recruit some people to interview in the theater first, and then stay if you think they are suitable.

Remember, it is better to be lacking than to be indiscriminate.”

Sun Sun The old man patted his chest and assured: “Don’t worry, young master, I will leave this matter to you, and I will definitely handle it properly for you.”

Thinking of this, his face turned red.

The prince provided money to build a theater and paid fixed wages to actors and actresses. This was a great joy for actors and actresses in the capital and even all over the world.

He was extremely happy to be able to feed these colleagues.

Fang Xiu raised his head and looked at the stage covered by the curtain, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

The world’s first industrialized entertainment company was about to be born under his own hands, in

a dilapidated hut somewhere in the northern suburbs of the city.

An old man was lying on the bed with his head wrapped in gauze.

There stood a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old.

The little boy looked at the old man with worry and concern, tears flashing in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, the old man felt a little sad, but with a calm look on his face, he said, “Why are you crying? Master, my body is still strong. I won’t die for a while.”

The little boy looked at the old man with hesitation on his face .

With a look of disbelief, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t speak.

Naturally, these actions did not escape the old man’s eyes.

The old man seemed to have thought of something and sighed secretly, with a look of struggle on his old face.

After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: “Goulan’s business is getting worse day by day. When the day comes, my old bones can’t hold on any longer, so you sell the business, exchange it for some money, and go to others.” Learn some crafts and you can support yourself in the future. “

The little boy is the old man’s apprentice. If Goulan’s business is not too bleak, who would want to have no one to inherit his skills?

For the old man, making this decision is tantamount to nothing. Put a knife into his chest.

But

This is also a desperate move.

Nowadays, not only in the north of the city, all hook-and-rail businesses are getting worse day by day.

As a disciple, he is an honest boy, and he must not have the heart to throw away what he has learned throughout his life.

Now with him supporting me, I can barely make a living. After a hundred years, it will be even harder for him to make a living.

“Master.”

When the little boy heard the old man’s words, the tears welled up in his eyes. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and fell down.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Don’t cry, go and see who it is.”

The old man stretched out his old palm, wiped away the little boy’s tears, and said with a smile.

The little boy wiped away his tears, stood up, and opened the door.

The old man looked at the figure standing at the door, with a smile on his face, and forced himself to get up from the bed.

He looked at the familiar old friend in front of him and said with a smile: “Sun, you are such a busy man, why do you have time to come and see me today?”

“Come and see if you are dead.”

Old Man Sun said unceremoniously. .

When the old man heard this, his formerly depressed complexion actually became a little better.

Old friends who have been friends for many years often make these jokes, but they are not angry. They retort: “Don’t worry, I have to watch you die before I can close my eyes.”

Old man Sun put the pile of things he was carrying next to the bed. .

Next to him, the little boy immediately came over with a porcelain bowl and said respectfully: “Grandpa Sun, drink water.”

Old man Sun took the porcelain bowl, touched the young man’s head, and said with a smile: “You took a good one.” Disciple.”

Speaking of the little boy in front of him, the old man lying on the bed also frowned.

Knowing that Master and Grandpa Sun had something to say, the little boy put down the porcelain bowl and walked out of the house.

The two old friends looked at each other and exchanged a few words.

After only saying a few words, the old man’s face showed a solemn expression, he looked at Old Man Sun and said, “Without further ado, I don’t have many years left to live with my old bones.

Two days ago, I heard that you The place was converted into a theater. Since then, there has been a steady stream of customers, and the place that was about to be disbanded has been revitalized.

From the bottom of my heart, I admire your ability. We have known each other for so many years, and I have never asked you for help in my life. What.

Now, I am also a person with one foot in the coffin. I only ask you for one thing. I hope that after I die, you can give this child a meal.

The child is still young and has no skills except singing. He is alone. If a person cannot survive, as long as he is not allowed to starve to death, you can do whatever you want.”
