As the imperial court allowed prostitutes to work freely and cooperated with the comprehensive immigration system, many men and women engaged in the sex industry went north to start a new life. Anyway, no one knew their past when they went north, and they could live like normal people.
As far as the Qinhuai River is concerned, strict inspections will be carried out every two or three years to see which businesses are operating out of compliance with the rules and restricting women's personal freedom." In addition, due to criticism of land affairs, many bosses and famous prostitutes were implicated. After the boss was exiled
, another businessman took over the business and simply changed the brothel into a washa. If you have to define a washa, it can be understood as a comprehensive commercial place.
There is a stage for performing talents, and there is also an area for selling goods. After watching the magic show here, you can walk a short distance to the shopping area for shopping. There are both meat and vegetables. 1
The meat one also runs a brothel, while the vegetarian one is more formal. 2
The brothels in the Qinhuai River have been converted into tile houses, which is a reflection of the developed economy of the citizens. More and more citizens have spare money, and the consumer group continues to grow. Operating comprehensive tile houses is much more profitable than simple brothels.
.As the number of tile houses increases, businesses inevitably get involved. In the beginning, tickets are required, and you have to pay to enter.
Free admission is gradually emerging, and you can stroll around without paying a penny." If you enjoy the performance, you can reward it on the spot. If you get tired of the performance, you can go shopping in the shopping area, even if you don't buy gold and silver jewelry.
, you can also buy three melons and two dates.
Zhao Han went out of the city for an outing and returned to the palace in the middle of the afternoon. Many ministers invited him to accompany him to Wase.
As a prince, Zhang Tieniu is still so stingy. Instead of going to the high-end tile house that requires tickets, he drags a few military general friends and sneaks into a free resistance place. It's not even evening yet, tile house has already
The flow of people is like weaving.
There were even older girls and younger daughters-in-law who went to Wase with their families to have fun. Many children sat on the shoulders of adults, excitedly pointing to a certain stage and shouting. Since there were no auditoriums around the low-end stage in Wase, everyone was
Stand still and watch the performance.
Zhang Tieniu stood happily in the crowd, and was performing acrobatics on the stage. He saw a man waving a sword, playing with it, and then began to swallow the sword. The two-foot-long sword was suddenly inserted into his mouth, which attracted a lot of attention from the audience.
Exclaimed "Okay"
Zhang Tieniu cheered and clapped his hands. Fei Ruhe rolled his eyes. He was dragged here by force. He was not interested in this kind of performance. He knew at a glance that swallowing the sword was fake. Suddenly a boy came over, holding a wooden sign.
People crowded around: "Peanuts, melon seeds, cheese, pastries, sesame candy, honey..." "Here are some packets of peanuts." Zhang Tieniu shouted. "Okay!"
The boy left happily and soon brought the peanuts.
The fried peanuts are wrapped in straw paper, and the price is more expensive than outside. But the audience is enjoying watching it, and they don’t care about the extra few cents. They eat snacks and watch the performance at the same time. It’s so comfortable and enjoyable.
Another vendor came over holding a shelf. The so-called shelf is a bamboo pole with straw tied to the top. Various toys and snacks are stuck on the straw, specially sold to children. "Wind wheel (windmill), Dad, I want a wind wheel."
."The child really couldn't resist the temptation and begged his father to buy something. "Jewelry, jewelry, jewelry!"…
There are also vendors selling jewelry, all of which are low-end goods. Their target audience is women from ordinary families. Women and children have always been the most profitable.
When these vendors enter the market to sell things, they need to pay Washe, usually on a monthly basis. Fixed stalls in shopping areas are more expensive, and the goods are higher-end.
As night falls, the lights are turned on, and the number of tourists in Vasheli has reached its peak, and several stages are directly crowded.
This kind of tile-roofed house often houses several brothels, and then they build walls and merge them together, covering a very large area. Of course, the original brothel buildings continue to operate, and they have food, and the consumption is higher than in open-air places outside.
Zhang Tieniu and others watched the performance for a while, and then went to eat and drink together. There was also a small stage inside, and storytelling was going on.
The generals ordered some wine and food, and while they were changing glasses, Wu Song had finished talking about fighting tigers.
Then a Yiru came out and made all kinds of funny moves, making the guests laugh. Another actor dressed as a matchmaker came out to interact with the Yiru, telling some dirty jokes. As they talked, they talked about it.
Interesting stories from overseas lead to the following Orchid performance. The so-called Orchid is actually an Indian Brahmin woman.
There have been years of war in India, especially the rebel Shivaji, who has occupied half of Bijapur. This guy likes to take captured pagan nobles as slaves and sell them to the Portuguese. Many Brahmin women are resold to China in this way.
.
The cheerful Indian dance music played, and the "Orchid" wore exotic costumes, with her white belly exposed. For the sake of retro, a lot of spinning movements were added, and the audience was confused. Anyway, she just danced well.
Especially the white belly, with a navel ring in the belly button, how exciting it is to twist around, Chinese women don't go out of their way like that. "Okay"
It was so exciting that some guests began to reward me and even threw money directly on the stage.
Zhang Tieniu was almost fifty years old and felt hot all over from being seduced. He asked in a low voice: "Where did this orchid come from?" It must be the Western Regions." Fei Ruhe said.
Yang Zhan had led troops in Guangnan Province for several years and was quite familiar with this kind of thing, so he explained, "Some are from Persia and some are from India. They are all slaves. They are transported to Macau in bulk and then sold to the mainland by traders."
.The Hu Ji in front of me has a top-notch figure and appearance. She must have been trained for several years. She must be worth at least hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver. "So expensive?" Zhang Tieniu's eyes widened.
Jiang Dashan has been back to Nanjing for two or three years. He said with a smile, "Last year there was an Orchid who was sold to China at the age of nine and trained for several years. Not only did she speak fluently, she was also proficient in playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. According to those scholars, she even
The poems and articles were all decent. A wealthy businessman bought it for how much money do you think it cost? "How much?" Fei Ruhe couldn't help but ask. Jiang Dashan made a gesture.
Zhang Tieniu exclaimed: "Eight thousand taels? How many cattle are that worth?"
Yang Zhan smiled and said: "Master Zhang, you don't understand this. There is no shortage of Hu Ju in the country, and there is no shortage of Hu Ji who are good at poetry and painting. But they are beautiful and can do everything, but they are rare. This
When wealthy businessmen bring home their purchases, when common people come to visit them, they ask her to dance and sing. When literati come to visit her, they ask her to compose poems and lyrics. Think about it, how much more face does that mean? Merchants don’t have much status, so what they lack is face.
"…
"That's true." Zhang Tieniu nodded and looked at the dancing Orchid. He wanted to buy an Orchid in his heart.
He has received many rewards for his military exploits. He won the battle against the Khalkha Mongols and obtained the right to operate a mine. There is really no shortage of money in his hands. Lao Zhang is also going to fall. He has just returned to Nanjing.
how long.
Fei Ruhe murmured in his heart whether he should also buy an orchid. Although he had no interest in the orchid, he had to buy it for the sake of face. Otherwise, everyone else had it, but he didn't have one at home. He would lose his status if he said it.
.
Zhang Tieniu pointed at Jiang Dashan: "Do you have an orchid at home?" Jiang Dashan smiled but said nothing.
"Hey, you're still hiding me. I didn't see you the last time I went to your house!" Zhang Tieniu scolded with a smile.
These military generals were having fun in Washi, while Qian Qianyi and a group of civil servants were listening to music in the painted boat on Xuanwu Lake.
Qian Qianyi has long been old and has no interest in women. He mainly communicates and discusses art. But today he is not in the mood. He listens to music and drinks in silence. No one else bothers him, knowing that he is not happy.
As for the reason, I flattered the emperor and accidentally slapped the horse on the leg, misinterpreting the meaning of the emperor's poem.
Although Zhu Minghao is young, only 50 years old this year, he and Zhang Pu are good friends. They helped each other enter the Hanlin Academy to compile history, and he has a good friendship with Qian Qianyi. At this moment, he whispered: "Shou Weng, your Majesty has a broad mind, and you can't do it."
He would get angry because of a few words. "That's not why I am." Qian Qianyi said.
Zhu Minghao smiled and said, "You and I both understand His Majesty's thoughts. Just say and do things according to the Holy Will. You see, those officials, wealthy businessmen and powerful people who committed crimes were all sent to Heilongjiang and Tibet. But the peasants and soldiers who killed officials in Yunnan clearly committed crimes."
He was sentenced to death, but he was only exiled to the Pingnan Military and Civil Affairs Department. Is that called exile? To put it bluntly, it is immigration!" Qian Qianyi sighed: "Your Majesty is so kind to the common people.
The Yunnan peasant soldiers were good at killing the town mayor, which was like a rebellion, but they were only exiled to Myanmar. How far apart can Yunnan and Myanmar be? That's what you call exile.
However, Zhao Han published the whole story in detail in "Datong Monthly". The news spread to all provinces across the country, and many of the grassroots officials who oppressed the people were frightened, fearing that the peasants and soldiers under their control would also kill them.
Vent your anger. {3 "Drink, drink." Zhu Mingjin said with a smile.
Zhu Minghao's father was a martial arts scholar in the Ming Dynasty. Because his father died young and his family fell into decline quickly, he had to give up his studies and become a teacher to support his mother and younger brother. Before Chongzhen died, Zhu Minghao was evaluated as a "rejuvenator".
"The first person in the society". Not only because of his talent and learning, but also because of his filial piety.
Moreover, although all his friends had wives and concubines, Zhu Minghao insisted on not taking concubines. When he entered the Hanlin Academy and became an official, a businessman asked him to write an epitaph. If he had a good reputation, he would not accept money, but if he had a bad reputation, he would directly refuse. Now, all
Living on a dead salary makes me live a mediocre life.
Zhu Minghao is very satisfied with the new Datong Dynasty. Isn't the current stable situation what he pursued when he joined Fushe?
He often wrote articles praising the new dynasty, and also wrote a novel, which recorded the changes in society in the late Ming Dynasty from the perspective of a down-and-out literati. However, this novel was not popular in the circle. Many of his old friends who were born in Fushe
Secretly mocking him as a flatterer.
President Wu of "Datong Monthly" resigned several times due to old illness, and there was a faint rumor that the emperor wanted Zhu Minghao to take over "Datong Monthly".
