Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Today's Qinhuai River is different.

    ?As the imperial court allowed prostitutes to practice freely, coupled with the perfect immigration system, many men and women engaged in the sex industry have moved north to start their new lives.  Anyway, when I went to the north, no one knew about my past and could live like a normal person.

    ? As far as Qinhuai River is concerned, a strict investigation will be conducted every two or three years to see which business is not in compliance with the rules and restricts women's personal freedom.  "In addition to criticizing Tian Zheng, many bosses and famous prostitutes were implicated.  After the boss was exiled, other merchants took over and simply changed the brothel into a washhouse.  If you have to define Washe, it can be understood as a comprehensive commercial place.

    There is a stage for performing talents and an area for selling goods.  After watching the magic show here, you can go to the shopping area for consumption after walking a certain distance.  Washer, there are meat and vegetables.  1

    The meat ones also run brothels, while the vegetarian ones are more formal.  2

    The brothels on the Qinhuai River have been changed into tile houses one after another, which is a manifestation of the prosperity of the citizen economy.  There are more and more citizens with spare money, and the number of consumers continues to grow. Operating a comprehensive house can make more money than a pure brothel.  With the increase in the number of washrooms, merchants will inevitably roll up.  At the beginning, tickets are required, and you can only enter after paying money.

    Gradually, a free admission model has emerged, and you can stroll around without paying a penny.  "The performance makes you enjoy watching, and you can give a reward on the spot. When you get tired of watching the performance, go to the shopping area. Even if you don't buy gold and silver jewelry, you can still buy three melons and two dates.

    Zhao Han went out for an outing in the city and returned to the palace in the middle of the afternoon. Many ministers invited him to go to Washe together.

    Zhang Tieniu, as the Duke of the country, is still so stingy.  Instead of going to the high-end villas that require tickets, he dragged a few generals and friends into a free resistance place.  It was not evening yet, but Washe was already full of people.

    There are even older girls and younger daughters-in-law who follow their families to the Washe for fun. Many children sit on the shoulders of adults, pointing to a certain stage and yelling excitedly.  Since there is no auditorium around the relatively low-end stage of Washer, everyone stood in place to watch the performance.

    Zhang Tieniu happily stood in the crowd, performing acrobatics on the stage.  I saw a man wielding a sword, playing with it, and then began to swallow the sword. The two-foot-long sword was thrust into his mouth suddenly, causing the audience to scream.  "Good"

    Zhang Tieniu applauded and clapped his hands.  Fei Ruhe rolled his eyes. He was forced to come here. He was not interested in this kind of performance. He knew that the sword swallowing was a fake.  Suddenly a young man came and squeezed through the crowd with a wooden sign: "Peanuts, melon seeds, cheese, cakes, sesame sugar, honey water" Here are some packets of peanuts.  " Zhang Tieniu shouted.  "Okay!"

    The boy left happily, and brought the peanuts after a while.

    The fried peanuts are wrapped in straw paper, and the price is more expensive than outside.  But the audience is enjoying themselves, and they don¡¯t care how much it costs. They eat snacks while watching the show, how comfortable and enjoyable they are

    Another peddler came over with a shelf. The so-called shelf is the straw tied on the top of the bamboo pole.  All kinds of toys and snacks are inserted on the straw and sold exclusively to children.  "Windwheel (windmill), Dad, I want a windwheel.  "Sure enough, the child couldn't stand the temptation and begged his father to buy something.  "Jewelry!Jewelry!"

    There are also hawkers selling jewelry, all of which are low-end goods, and the target group is women from ordinary families.  Women and children's money has always been the best money.

    When these hawkers enter the market to sell things, they need to pay the Washe, which is usually calculated on a monthly basis.  The fixed stalls in the shopping area are more expensive and the goods are more high-end.

    As night fell, the lights were turned on, and the tourists in Washeri also reached the peak period, and several places near the stage were directly overwhelmed.

    This kind of cottage is often several brothels under the market, and then the walls are built and merged, covering a very large area.  The original brothel building, of course, continues to operate, there is food, and the consumption is higher than that in the open air outside.

    After watching the performance for a while, Zhang Tieniu and others went to eat and drink together.  There is also a small stage inside, which is telling stories.

    The generals ordered some food and wine, and while they were changing glasses, Wu Song finished talking about fighting the tiger.

    Then a Yiru came out and made all kinds of antics, making the guests laugh.  There are also reverse actors dressed as matchmakers, who come out to interact with Yiru, telling some dirty jokes in the market.  As we talked, we talked about interesting things overseas, and then led to the next Orchid performance.  The so-called orchids are actually Indian Brahmin women.

    Years of wars in India, especially the rebel Sivaji, has occupied half of Bijapur's land.  This guy likes to sell the captive pagan nobles as slaves to the Portuguese, and many Brahmin women are sold to China in this way.

    The cheerful Indian dance music sounded, "?"Ji Ji" was wearing exotic clothes, with her snow-white belly exposed.  For the sake of retro, a lot of rotating movements have been added, and the audience can't figure it out, anyway, it just needs to dance well.

    Especially the white belly, the belly button is still wearing a navel ring, how exciting it is to twist and turn, Chinese women are not so out of the ordinary.  "Good"

    Looking excitedly, some guests started tipping and throwing money directly on the stage.

    Zhang Tieniu is almost fifty years old, and his whole body is hot from being hooked.  He asked in a low voice: "Where did this kind of orchid come from?" It must be the Western Regions.  " Fei Ruhe said.

    Yang Zhan had been leading troops in Guangnan Province for several years, so he was quite clear about this kind of thing, so he explained, "Some came from Persia, and some came from India. They were all slaves. They were shipped to Macau for bulk cargo, and then sold to the mainland by traders.  The orchid in front of me is of first-class figure and appearance, and must have been trained for a few years, at least worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. "So expensive" Zhang Tieniu widened his eyes.

    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.  The poems and essays are well written. A wealthy businessman bought them, guess how much money they cost? ""How much?" Fei Ruhe couldn't help asking. Jiang Dashan gestured.

    "Eight hundred taels" muttered Zhang Tieniu, "it's not expensive either."  ""Eight thousand taels!" Jiang Dashan said.

    Zhang Tieniu was stunned and said: "Eight thousand taels? How many cattle are it worth?"

    Yang Zhan said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang, you don't understand this. There is no shortage of orchids in China, and there is no shortage of orchids who are good at poetry and painting. But they are beautiful and know everything, but they are rare. This  Wealthy merchants bought them home, and ordinary people came to visit, so they let orchids dance and sing; literati came to visit, and let orchids write poems and lyrics. Think about it, how much face does that have? Merchants have no status, what they lack is face  "

    "That is true.  " Zhang Tieniu nodded, and then looked at the dancing orchid, feeling very eager to buy an orchid.

    He had won many rewards for his military exploits.  After winning the battle against Khalkha Mongolia and obtaining the right to operate a mine, there is really no shortage of money in hand.  Lao Zhang is also going to fall, so why not go back to Nanjing?

    how long.

    Fei Ruhe wondered in his heart whether he should also buy an orchid.  Although he has no interest in orchids, he has to buy them for the sake of face, otherwise everyone else has them, but his family doesn't have them.

    Zhang Tieniu pointed to Jiang Dashan: "Do you have an orchid in your family?" Jiang Dashan smiled and said nothing.

    "Hey, you're still hiding, I didn't see you last time I went to your house!" Zhang Tieniu scolded with a smile.

    These military generals were having fun in Washe, while Qian Qianyi and a group of civil servants were listening to music in the painting boat on Xuanwu Lake.

    Qian Qianyi is already old, and he is powerless about female sex, mainly communicating and discussing art.  But today I'm not in a good mood, drinking in silence while listening to the music.  Others don't bother, knowing that he is unhappy.

    As for the reason, I accidentally slapped the emperor's ass on the horse's leg, which misinterpreted the meaning of the emperor's poem.

    Although Zhu Minghao is young, he is only 50 years old this year.  But he and Zhang Pu are good friends, and they both joined the Hanlin Academy to compile history, and they also had a good friendship with Qian Qianyi, so he said in a low voice at this moment: "Shou Weng, Your Majesty has a broad mind, and won't get angry just because of a few words.  "I'm not because of this." Qian Qianyi said.

    Zhu Minghao said with a smile, "Your Majesty's mind, you and I both understand, and you can do things according to the holy will. Look at those officials who committed crimes, wealthy businessmen and powerful people, all of them were dispatched 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 Division. Is that also called exile? To put it bluntly, he is an immigrant!" Qian Qianyi sighed: "Your Majesty treats ordinary people so kindly."

    ?The Yunnan farmers and soldiers were good at killing the town mayor, which was tantamount to rebellion, but they were only exiled in Burma.  How far is the distance between Yunnan and Myanmar? That's exile.

    However, Zhao Han published the ins and outs of the matter in detail in "Datong Monthly".  The news spread to all provinces across the country, and many grassroots officials who oppressed the people were frightened, fearing that the peasants and soldiers under their rule would also kill them to vent their anger.  {3 "Drink, drink.  " Zhu Mingjin said with a smile.

    Zhu Minghao's father was a martial artist in the Ming Dynasty.  Because of his father's early death and his family's rapid decline, he had to give up his studies and become a teacher to support his mother and younger brother Chongzhen. Before he died, Zhu Minghao was evaluated as "the first person to restore society".  Not only because of his talent and learning, but also because of his filial piety.

    Moreover, although all his friends have wives and concubines, Zhu Minghao insists on not taking concubines.  After entering the Hanlin Academy as an official, a businessman asked him to write an epitaph. He didn't charge money if he had a good reputation, but he refused directly if he had a bad reputation.  Nowadays, living on dead wages, life is plain and ordinary.

    Zhu Minghao is very satisfied with the new dynasty of Datong. 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 social changes in Ming Dynasty from the perspective of a down-and-out literati.  But this novel is not popular in the circle. Many of the old friends from Fushe secretly ridiculed him as a sycophant.

    ? President Wu of the "Datong Monthly" resigned many times due to old illness, and rumors spread that the emperor wanted Zhu Minghao to take over the "Datong Monthly".He doesn't charge money if he has a good reputation, but he directly refuses if he has a bad reputation.  Nowadays, living on dead wages, life is plain and ordinary.
