After returning from the brothel, Li Jiuzhou couldn't wait to call Old Man Zhang.

"I just came back from the brothel."

Old man Zhang was surprised and said, "Have you gone to the brothel? Let others know this, especially your wife knows it, but it's not good."

"Shh!" Li Jiuzhou put his index finger to his mouth and made a gesture, walked over and closed the door, lowered his voice and said, "So, it's better not let them hear it."

"What?" Old Man Zhang still asked loudly.

"Then?" Li Jiuzhou was slightly stunned, and then remembered what he asked him to say, "You are knowledgeable. I want to ask you, who are the general bosses who run brothels?"

"What do I mean that I am knowledgeable? It seems that I often go shopping in the kilns." Old Man Zhang strongly retorted about the high hat that Li Jiuzhou put on himself, "The number of times I have been there is not as much as one tenth of yours. Why do you ask me instead?"

"I'm sure I have something to do if I ask you about these things."

"About the brothel?" Old Man Zhang couldn't help but smile as he pursed his lips.

"What's ridiculous about this?" Li Jiuzhou couldn't help but look at him angrily, "Since they are in this industry, they have their own principles. All walks of life have their own rules and their own value of existence. Just like beggars, they have developed into an industry as they beg for food."

"Don't use the example of the Beggars' Sect to be used as brothels." Old Man Zhang said: "Why are you suddenly so interested in brothels?"

"I was thinking... this is also a profitable business." Li Jiuzhou said softly, as if a little disgraceful.

Old Man Zhang was both angry and funny: "There are still people who want to make money with brothels. I really convinced you."

"I'm telling you serious." Li Jiuzhou said slowly: "I looked at it. There are more than a dozen brothels in Lingwu alone. By this calculation, there should be at least dozens of brothels in Shuofang, maybe fifty or sixty, maybe seventy or eighty or more."

Li Jiuzhou was thirsty and picked up the tea that had been on the table for a long time. He took a sip of it, then calculated: "I probably looked at it. Each company's business is good. The income from going in and out every day is a considerable number. If you multiply these numbers by one hundred, it will be a big number."

"How big can it be?" Old Man Zhang asked him back.

Li Jiuzhou said with an estimated view: "The annual income of one hundred brothels may be enough for our entire Shuofang official expenses."

Old Man Zhang suddenly became interested: "Can you have so much money? I know brothels are a profit-making industry, but I didn't expect to make so much money."

"Don't underestimate the brothel." Li Jiuzhou said: "If we start this business, we will make a lot of money."

Old man Zhang began to ask him again: "How do you plan to do this business? How many new brothels are opened?"

"No." Li Jiuzhou shook his head and said: "The cost of opening a new brothel is too high, the competition is too high, and there is no stable source of customers, so he will definitely not be able to compete with the original brothels."

"Then what are you going to do?" Old Man Zhang kept asking.

"I plan to invest in all brothels in Shuofang."

"Ah!" These words were beyond Old Man Zhang's expectations, so he quickly said: "It's not that simple to invest. Although you are a military governor, the strong relationship is quite good."

Li Jiuzhou sighed and said, "I just don't understand these things, so tell me."

Old Man Zhang originally said that he was not familiar with brothels, but now he started talking: "The brothel gambling house is not as good as other places. If you want to run brothels, it is not enough to have money alone, but you also have power and connections. Generally, there are two types of people who run brothels. One is a rich man from the underworld. Such people are often not afraid of others causing trouble and can save the situation."

"Where is another kind of person?" Li Jiuzhou was quite curious about this topic.

"The other type is that the people of the government have power and are mostly involved in the underworld. They are not worried about the government causing trouble, nor are they worried about the underworld going to harass them."

"No wonder there are places like the Jiaofangsi." Li Jiuzhou murmured.

Old man Zhang began to wonder again: "What is Jiaofangsi?"

"You don't know Jiaofangsi?" Li Jiuzhou expressed disdain for his ignorance, "Jifangsi is... an official brothel."

"I see."

Seeing Old Man Zhang who said he was not familiar with brothels, Li Jiuzhou couldn't help laughing out loud. He really didn't know how much of the old man was hiding and what he had experienced before.

"What are you laughing at?" Old Man Zhang looked at him disdainfully and asked, "Speaking of this, it's better to run a gambling house than to run a brothel, so that money can come faster."

Li Jiuzhou shook his head and said, "These two are different things."

Old Man Zhang objected to his answer: "What's the difference between eating, drinking, whore and gambling?"

Li Jiuzhou expressed his point of view: "Branch building, although it is a bit indecent, it does not cost the people and cause money. The gambling house is a place where people can destroy people. I don't want to spend so much effort to improve the lives of the people and throw all my belongings into the gambling house."

Old Man Zhang nodded: "It seems that what he said makes sense."

"Not only will I not run a gambling shop, I will also have to completely ban gambling in Shuofang."

"This may cause chaos."

Li Jiuzhou was not panicked at all about his concerns: "The ban on gambling is beneficial to the country and the people. Even if some people want to object, I will use it. Let's see who dares to object."

"This is your usual style. If you don't have any literary skills, use force." Old Man Zhang laughed at him.

"Some things cannot be solved easily if you can talk about them." Li Jiuzhou seemed to have suffered such a loss and had a deep understanding.

Old Man Zhang said: "But since brothels are so profitable, if you want to take over, it is probably not that easy to grab meat from the tiger's mouth."

Li Jiuzhou also thought this: "The most important thing now is to figure out who the boss behind the business of these brothels is. Once we know who they are, we can start the next plan. It's a pity that I don't know how to find the boss behind the brothels. Judging from the appearance of the madam, I probably won't tell me."

"Isn't it just to check the boss behind the brothel? It's not simple." Old Man Zhang narrowed his smile, looking confident, and said lightly: "Let me do this."

Li Jiuzhou was curious and asked, "How do you plan to check it?"

Old Man Zhang also kept a secret and said mysteriously: "With my intelligence, there is naturally my way, and I can find it without any effort. The news you are waiting for me."
