At this point in time in the late Han Dynasty, it was sheer nonsense to ban pornography. What Chen Xi prohibited more was human trafficking, such as hookups, brothels, etc. It was not completely banned. At most, it was an effort to reverse the existing social atmosphere.
.
The administrative and social control capabilities required for a complete ban are too strong, and it is simply not something Chen Xi can do. So be realistic, guide from the social atmosphere, reduce the number of hookups and brothels as much as possible, and strengthen
manage.
As for the gambling industry and gambling houses, Chen Xi has also put restrictions on it, but it is unrealistic to ban it completely. After all, this behavior has been around since ancient times, even if there are not as complicated tricks as later generations, all kinds of stimulation of dopamine in the human brain
The released stuff still exists.
Human beings inevitably need some entertainment, and most entertainment is either adventure or gambling. It is difficult for human nature to avoid these two behaviors. As I complained before, if games are eliminated, the worst is to raise birds like the Qing Dynasty.
, Playing cards has eliminated bird breeding. Playing cards, at worst, can imitate cricket fighting and willow shooting in the Ming Dynasty. It has eliminated cricket fighting and willow shooting. At worst, it can imitate the hut throwing, cockfighting and dog fighting of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Anyway, human nature is here. No matter how you eliminate it, you can't change this group of people who just like entertainment and entertain themselves to death. To put it bluntly, it is human nature to love to play.
Gambling has been around for a long time. In addition to the so-called psychology of getting rich quickly, it is more of a nature. If you don't gamble on something, you always feel that there is a missing link in human life. Even if you don't win money, you still have to gamble just for fun.
In this environment, what Chen Xi can suppress is actually poison. However, these days, there are not many poisons in the Central Plains. Five Stone Powder and other things are still very different from the stuff of later generations. Please spread the word more.
If you eat this thing, you will become mentally retarded and your combat effectiveness will be low. Considering the current environment, most aristocratic families will work hard to eliminate it.
There is no way, fighting power and brainpower are really important these days. The little pleasure brought by Five Stone Powder is nothing compared to one's own great ideals!
Therefore, the poison was strangled to death before it developed. However, Huang and Gambling have always existed, but because Chen Xi's management is relatively formal, although there are some troubles every year, there are no family breakdowns.
After all, if you are just playing for fun, especially something that looks extremely fierce like cockfighting, you can win or lose. There is no multiplier or upper limit, so the win or loss is not that big.
In addition, the gambling industry has been crooked since Yuan Fengnian, that is, the rules of the game are black dealers and random odds. As a result, people with relatively normal brains basically don't know how to play, but there are always some idiots who think that
One's own abilities are stronger than those of the opponent.
Therefore, up to now, there have been two modes in gambling houses. One is the conventional mode, which means that no one can say it, and no one will be allowed to cheat. If they are caught, they will be expelled and stabbed. This kind of gambling house will hang people in the lobby.
Once a sign is written, it will not be sold out for a thousand dollars, and a very good veteran must be hired to look after the place.
Generally speaking, this kind of gambling house is basically a serious gambling house, with a limit, a blacklist, a high level of loss and a high level of winning, and there are serious backers behind it.
Then this kind of gambling house developed and evolved into introducing you to a daily job after you lose money, and even developed to the point of introducing you to a stable job. After all, some shameless families have no intention of taking advantage of the gambling house.
To make money, just wait for this group of people to lose, and then take them away with them.
As for gambling, you will be sent to the military camp. Military management will not give you the opportunity to gamble. Ordinary families cannot control such misbehavior of the mainstay of the family, but large aristocratic families, ha!
As long as you have the ability, we have a way to get you to stop gambling. Besides, if you have everyone in your territory, if you really want to be able to get out of the military camp, then we don't mind if you gamble twice. Anyway,
Every gambling house in my fiefdom is opened by me. I wish that all the money you earned through hard work would be used for gambling.
In this case, we will take good care of your family. When it is time to go to the battlefield and fight hard, I will see if you fight hard or not. The overall money I spent is less than the family of a top centurion, but I gain loyalty and gain.
The benefits are more than this.
If it weren't for Chen Xi's pressure, the Central Asian family that was the first to discover this logic might have set up a trap to trap these veterans. After all, this is indeed a very easy-to-operate plan.
Although dog bettors are inhumane, dog bettors still have to maintain their social reputation and family structure before their credibility completely collapses. In this era of loyalty, trust, benevolence and filial piety, this set of gameplay is very useful, as long as you can
Hold down the gambling dog's head.
If the aristocratic family can really do it, then these gambling dogs can really be used by the aristocratic family.
As for the other one, it is even more wild. Heizhuang and Chuqian are must-try game rules. This is the most significant impact Yuan Shu and Liu Zhang have had on the entire world's gaming industry. Even because this impact is too significant, Chen Xi sees
Some things called gambling are actually real games of combat power between the two sides. They all think that this is also considered gambling?
However, this is really considered gambling, and there are many people who like to participate in this kind of gambling. After all, there are gamblers, and this kind of gambling is more interesting.
Take Sun Qian's cockfighting as an example. The former kind of cockfighting can only be watched by people, let the chickens fight, and then use their own chips. The latter kind is more powerful. People stand outside the circle and can use various methods.
You just can't use weapons, as long as you make a bet, you can participate.
There are many more people involved in this outrageous thing than the one above. There are even indestructible wild roosters, phantom clones of wild roosters, the essence of heaven and earth condensed into form, and a rooster's crow that creates visible sound waves.
Strike, what kind of rooster spreads its wings and releases magical slashes, etc.
In short, even if it is not for winning money, and they do not know the size of the rooster on the opposite side, purely blind pressing, there are still a large group of people paying a penny to use talents to give the opponent the entire ultimate move.
It's just a penny. I won't eat the fish cakes today. I want this rooster to use a big move to open the eyes of the buddy on the opposite side!
It is roughly this kind of outrageous mentality, so every ten days after catching the rooster from the mountain, the big guys from the construction team will gather around and start betting. It doesn't matter whether you win or not. Anyway, the skills must be released, and even be derived later. , the fighting cock's head has been knocked off, but it can still fight with its claws, and the rules of the game are broken.
It's a joy, it's indeed a joy. Every time it is said that there is a cockfight, a large group of people will come around, not to watch the cockfight, but to learn the cool skills of the big man. Someone else's chicken spreads its wings and directly releases a vacuum blade. He knocked off the head of the chicken on the opposite side, but even so, the headless chicken maintained its own state and continued to fight.
When Sun Qian has nothing to do, he would go and watch such outrageous stuff. Don't tell me, it's really interesting, exciting, and so exciting.
So when Liu Bei talked about the gambling industry, Sun Qian thought, this thing is actually quite good. As for whether it is forbidden or not, let's put it aside for now. You can just say whether this thing is fun or not. Of course it is fun. , as long as there is a limit for betting and a limit for monthly winnings and losses, this thing is actually quite entertaining.
Anyway, Sun Qian has seen guys with five levels of smelting. They bet relatively big at the beginning, and when the limit is approaching at the end of the month, the bets become smaller and smaller, and finally they start to bet a cent.
From Sun Qian's point of view, this is pure entertainment. There is no gambling at all, he just likes to have fun.
"There are also some gambling houses in Chengdu, but the gambling houses in Chengdu are generally not about direct gambling, but about cockfighting and dog fighting." Chen Deng explained, there was no way, the gambling houses that directly gambled money had been destroyed. Sun The group of people under Qian had been engaging in bottomless cockfighting and dogfighting in Sichuan and Sichuan for so many years, which had distorted the atmosphere of the gambling industry in Sichuan and Sichuan.
Compared with the speed of winning and losing in normal gambling, the speed of winning and losing in cockfighting and dogfighting is slower, and it is easy to shift people's interest from gambling to watching cockfighting and dogfighting. As a result, after many casinos opened this stall, some stopped gambling. Yes, I just wanted to watch the cockfighting. The dogfighting guy came over to watch with two pennies, which he used as the ticket price, and he was very happy.
Therefore, Chen Deng never thought of cracking down on this kind of thing. In his opinion, it is also a kind of entertainment. Although it has some non-productive meaning, it is not serious to that extent, so it is a kind of fun.
"The veteran over there in Guanzhong has become a beggar after losing, and his wife and children are gone." Liu Bei said to Sun Qian with a dark face.
"Well, how do I put this? Lieutenant, it is impossible to lose to beggar. The only reason for begging is that he has something wrong with him. In the current environment, even beggars in Zichuan have been arrested and sent for training. There are no beggars anywhere." Sun Qian sighed and said, "Beggars on the road, as long as they are not disabled, will be taken to receive skills training. If this is not possible, they can be organized into households to open up wasteland."
It is actually not a good idea to directly organize the homeless and beggars into households to reclaim the wasteland. It means that some people are good men in another place. However, considering that it is not a major case, even if these homeless and beggars have some past lawlessness, Behavior, as long as they live a stable life, can also provide certain output for society. Considering the overall population size, Chen Xi acquiesced to this reality.
Therefore, in this act of reorganizing the homeless and beggars into households, all the land provided needs to be reclaimed. Increase the early investment of the homeless and beggars to prevent these people from having illegal thoughts again and thinking that they have broken the law. As long as you run away successfully, you can live again in another place.
After all, the sunk costs are high, and you will inevitably feel distressed when you run away.
Generally speaking, such continuous household registration has indeed completely eliminated beggars and refugees. Even though reclaiming wasteland is relatively difficult and time-consuming, with a place to live and fields, beggars and refugees can be considered a turnaround. Okay, all that's left is work.
So up to now, beggars and homeless people are basically not seen on the roads. Even the government officials in various places are still taking the initiative to arrest beggars and homeless people. After all, this can be considered a credit, but it is not too much.
"So, Taiwei, the beggars you can see are all very capable beggars. Even if I tell my conscience, they are the kind of strong people who have special skills, can run and jump, and even the local government officials cannot catch them if they chase them. , Their abilities are destined to make them survive if they want to live a decent life, they can find a job anywhere." Sun Qian said with a somewhat comforting tone.
A beggar with complete hands and feet who can lie down in a place like Guanzhong, according to Sun Qian's experience, must have at least three smeltings, and the three smeltings must be speed-biased. According to Liu Bei's description, this person has participated in Liu Bei could recognize the veterans of the Northern Xinjiang War, as well as those with noble titles, even those with fourth or fifth levels of smelting.
Such a well-equipped veteran turned into a beggar...
If this kind of people can live like beggars, it will almost turn the world against them. Well, this is obviously because the veteran was hit by some kind of blow, and then he got into trouble. Otherwise, at this level, no matter if he goes to the state-owned construction team to fight Hui, I'd better go to Beijiang Ranch to live a life. If I can't go to the Fisheries Department or be a janitor in agricultural and grain places, I can still have a decent face.
There were probably only 20,000 people in the entire Han Dynasty in the Fourth Smelting. Now that they have been cursed by the world consciousness, it is a question whether there are so many people. The result is like this? Is this a social problem? This is not, this is purely the veteran It's your own problem.
In addition to the dawdling jobs above, veterans of the fourth and fifth levels of smelting can also get a lot of strange things, such as helping some evil families to capture test subjects. This will give them easy money and subsidies. Maybe they will be lucky. , and you can also pick up some usable technologies; for example, help some aristocratic families lead a team to blockade the area where some thieves are, etc. How much does it cost for how long?
For this kind of strange job, you can get a lot of it in Chang'an by relying on the strength of four or five levels of smelting. Strength is a harder currency than money.
After all, if the money is gone, it is gone. As long as the person is still there and the strength is still there, even if he has a broken arm or leg, he can still be a teacher. The major families don't mind spending an extra one or two thousand yuan a month to hire one. Disabled people who had been smelted four or five times helped them lead their own recruits.
So in Sun Qian's opinion, the person Liu Bei met was simply because of his own fault and had nothing to do with society or gambling houses. He just continued to make money when he ran out of money. As long as you don't gamble too much, you can do it four or five times. Veterans, no matter how depressed they are, they will never be as depressed as this.
The worst thing is to sell yourself to a wealthy family and have someone pay for your food and accommodation. If you go to the authorities, they can help you negotiate a deal. It's said to be selling your body, but in fact it's just a long-to-death contract.
At that time, all you need to do is add a clear message that all the money you have will be given to him in various forms of food, drink, and entertainment, without paying a penny or lending him any money. That will be all.
After all, there are times when gambling dogs bark and call for quitting gambling. Take advantage of that time to make a fortune and be dignified even if you don’t have money!
