Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

With a smile on her face, Lan Ningxiang held a piece of seedless watermelon in her green-white hands and fed it into Gu Yuanbi's mouth.

"Oh, so nice!"

Gu Yuanbi ate the melon with a smile and mumbled a compliment.

The red watermelon juice overflowed from the corner of my mouth.

"Look at how you eat, Master."

Lan Ningxiang smiled innocently, picked up the fragrant handkerchief and wiped away the juice.

"Well, it smells good!"

Gu Yuanbi squinted his eyes exaggeratedly and took a deep breath.

"Damn~~"

Lan Ningxiang lightly punched Gu Yuanbi.

Gu Yuanbi chuckled...

This concubine cost him 8000 taels of silver!

Fortunately, I am proficient in playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing and singing.

It's worth the money!

Dozens of kilograms of gold to buy a geisha...

It seems unreasonable, but in fact it was the real situation in the Ming Dynasty.

As technology reaches its peak, the tertiary industry will naturally flourish abnormally.

Regardless of the advancement of technology - this question is a false proposition!

Advancement is only relative, not an eternal absolute!

This has nothing to do with the advanced level of science and technology. It is only related to the level of science and technology in this social circle and the horizontal comparison with other social circles in the same period - the degree of advancement!

When any human social circle develops to a level that overwhelms the surrounding technological level, hot money will inevitably flow into the tertiary industry.

With the influx of large amounts of hot money, prices will naturally rise.

Especially Jiangnan.

This is the most profitable tertiary industry - the center of the entertainment industry!

There is heaven, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Suzhou and Hangzhou, or the famous Qinhuai River, are all in this area!

The concentration of a large number of brothels, boathouses, and studios has improved the service level of the local tertiary industry...

This price is off the charts!

8000 taels for a shepherd, this is a mistake!

After careful inspection, the peak of the tertiary industry in ancient times was nothing more than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties...

why?

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were the peak of the Bronze Age, with China crushing its neighbors.

The Han Dynasty was the pinnacle of the Iron Age, and it is no joke that only the Han Dynasty died because of its strength.

The Tang, Song and Ming dynasties were the peak of the Iron Age.

Among these three, although there is a strange Song...

However, Song... people were rich!

Therefore, during the peak period of these dynasties, a large number of tertiary industries appeared...

The popularity of the entertainment industry is just one of them.

It’s just that this thing is more eye-catching, so more people know about it.

For example - Mrs. Xixi, Xia Ji, Wen Jiang, The Peach Blossoms of a Broken Sleeve, Long Yang Zhihao, Child Prostitution, What a Thin Waist in the Palace of Chu...

To put it simply - it is a flower played by wealthy people...

Let me count. Let me see how many people there are. I really don’t know these allusions.

(⊙o⊙)...

Has the strange knowledge increased again...

(Special note: The prevalence of the tertiary industry in our Qing Dynasty is an exception. This thing is a special product that is completely separated from top to bottom!

In my Qing Dynasty, it was called - the country does not know its people, and the people do not know its country.

This led to everyone being drunk and dreaming...

If you really want to compare with me, the Qing Dynasty, it will only be the two Jin Dynasties.

No, even though the Jin people were romantic, after escaping to the south, they still continued the Northern Expedition!

People can’t simply count them as eating and waiting to die...)

In the Ming Dynasty, if people wanted to be accompanied by top geishas for a day out, money alone was not enough——

Also be famous!

Girls, you have to choose!

hey~~

The pride and confidence of the goddess cannot be lost...

It's like, in a certain circle, essentially, if you take 20, you can go to the high seas——

Make whatever you want.

However, if ordinary people get 20 yuan, they won’t be able to dump you...

(This was the price more than twenty years ago...)

The same was true for the entertainment industry in the Ming Dynasty.

These accompanying tourists who were selected by Ming Dynasty geisha and agreed to the conditions——

Just one day - at least a few hundred taels, or even a thousand taels, or thousands of taels of silver!

Even the lowest price of a few hundred taels of silver is equivalent to ten houses in the county!

Does this outrageous price sound familiar?

The extremely intelligent temperament of the sponsor’s father fits perfectly...

Don't be surprised, didn't Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty have a saying - take history as a guide...

┓( ′?` )┏…

Of course, girls don’t have to ask for money!

Naturally, people like to watch others play the game!

If a top-notch talent invites you - the girls will still pay the price...

For example, Li Xiangjun once went bankrupt, sold off his jewelry, and even borrowed foreign debts and handed them over to Hou Fangyu.

Why are they backing up now?

What about modesty?

What about pride?

If you meet a "talented man", throw it away!

To put it bluntly, Mr. Hou is the reserve team of cabinet officials!

Circle, he is different!

Can you not post it upside down?

Even though Huafang Circle and Shilin Circle usually complement each other, deep down, they are different!

Just like the poem Hou Fangyu wrote to Li Xiangjun:

"The clear streams are all planted with catkin trees,

Don’t count the peach and plum clothes in the east wind.

There is a sloping path along the Zhulou Road.

Wang and Sun competed to control Fu Ping's chariot. "

Look, Mr. Hou’s mentality is completely hidden!

……

This is why Li Xiangjun is obsessed with it and even refuses Governor Tian Yang’s marriage proposal at the risk of death...

In the end, even though she was pregnant, she was kicked out of the house by the Marquis and died miserably...

To put it bluntly, one wants to climb up...

One is that Mo Kan, who has always been obsessed with people, how can he really think highly of this circle - the real boss!

This is why in the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there are a large number of brothel girls who like scholars. They not only eat and sleep with them, but also sponsor their trips to Beijing to take exams...

And after Juzi gained power, there was no reason to hear from him again!

After all, brothels in the tertiary industry, no matter how high they are usually raised...

It’s not a trick either!

If the price is high, it means you need to use this to boost your own status.

Giving you a few smiles is just to promote my name.

Really serious...

That's a tragedy.

Rich family——

The threshold is not low...

……

Gu Yuanbi's concubine cost 8000 taels of cash!

That’s about fifty pounds of gold!

Omg!

This is still a huge bargain!

You can imagine how outrageous the prices are usually.

In fact, not only is this price not expensive, it is actually a steal.

Normally, this orchid Ningxiang would cost at least 2 taels of silver!

Even, it may not be possible to take pictures back.

Why is it so cheap today?

It’s better to be Founder!

This old eunuch was making trouble around Nanjing.

Okay, the big officials are being honest.

When brothels and boathouses took photos of Qing courtiers, it used to be the time for them to "raise public sentiments"...

But he didn’t dare to show up anymore.

Otherwise, it’s not inlaid with gold, it’s pure gold!

There are fewer competitors, but the reputation of defense is still of some use...

Don't think that a military attache is not an official!

Military attaches have no status, so they have to be divided!

In this world, if the reference points are set in stone - that person is either a fool or a liar!

The reference object changes——

You can only be a grandson in front of the literati, but you can only be a grandson in front of the nouveau riche with no background...

——This is the official!

The literary boss didn't show up, so Gu Yuanbi took a big advantage.

For a mere price of 8000 taels of silver, I was able to take a photo of Lan Ningxiang, a shepherd from the Qing Dynasty!
