Since ancient times, the music workshop has been mostly hosted by men, and occasionally there are women, such as the women who are responsible for training women's singing and dancing skills are women, obviously men can not train dance, such women are generally called mothers, but they also do some pimping things in private, so they are also called bustards by outsiders in private. The brothel is headed by a woman, the head of the music shop is called the lawyer, and the brothel is called the bustard.

The music workshop used singing and dancing music as the main means of profit, and now men use music as an elegant skill, so music was first mastered by men, so the early music workshops were all headed by men who were proficient in music and rhythm.

In addition, the management environment and background of Le Fang are much better than that of brothels, and the old bustard is not suitable for elegant entertainment places such as Le Fang.

After the purge of the "entertainment industry" in Xianguo, the music fang implemented a women's management system, but the owner can be a man, and the owner is also a man under normal circumstances. The woman in charge of the Le Lou is called Sister-in-law, and the leader who is sent below is called Le Niang.

The reason for changing the rules of the men's franchise music workshop has to be traced back to the tragic case of Jiang Yan being killed, and the eunuch Guo Pan and Ding Yang Marquis Zhang Jun participating in the brothel music fang persecution of women from good families.

The nature of the music workshop should be to operate singing and dancing performances, the current masculinism is prevalent, the elite forces monopolize social resources, after the music fang is monopolized by men, there is still a remote control of the powerful behind it, so nine times out of ten are breeding pimping and secret prostitution, accepting concubines, and opening a harem is even more commonplace, no less than KTV prostitution, it is not a brothel, but it is no different from a brothel.

After the re-amendment of the law, the music workshop was changed to a woman in charge, and the imperial court also sent a female supervisor to supervise the operation of the music workshop, which was rotated regularly, and had the right to directly appeal to the county government and even foreign courts to expose the evil deeds, which was regarded as a precedent for the disguised appointment of female officials.

Although the proprietorship is still dominated by men, and even the essence of the proprietorship has not changed, it has greatly weakened the rights of the powerful to run rampant and brutalize women.

Of course, if it is confiscated directly, it can also be confiscated, but whether it is a music house or a brothel, the profits brought by it every year are extremely huge, which will inevitably hurt the direct interests of the powerful and cause a huge backlash.

In addition, the resettlement after the confiscation has also become a problem, at present, there are more women than men, and the rash and large-scale confiscation of brothels and music shops into their own industry is undoubtedly a business, which is not in line with the concept of Bailiyan. If the closure is forced, thousands of women will have to be resettled, and these are real problems that have to be faced.

The best way to do this is to gradually tighten the policy, tighten the controls, and gradually lose the social harm over time, until the time comes for a ban. It cannot be achieved overnight, and a one-size-fits-all approach should be carried out in a big way, provoking social contradictions and causing trouble.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the white-faced little angry ran to him:

"This nobleman, the three people you mentioned have indeed been here, the first to go to the song building, and then to the music building, as for where they are now, it is unknown below."

"Then Your Excellency Lao will lead me to Lelou, and we will never treat Your Excellency badly."

After finishing speaking, Bai Liyan took out a small silver bean again and handed it to the white-faced Xiaosheng, the man swept away the tiredness on his face, cheered up and was very enthusiastic, as if it should be, took the golden bean and put it in his arms and hid it, and said busily:

"Your Excellency, please."

"Well, you lead the way, and we follow."

The small silver bean is a custom-processed silver bead from Baili Yan to unify the weight standard of loose silver bills.

Gold and silver smelting will inevitably produce slag and scattered gold and silver fragments, because the purity is not high, the cost of centralized smelting and purification is high, and there is no economy at the moment when the productivity is not high, so it is simply melted and cast into scattered silver pieces for small transactions and circulation, and at the same time as an intermediate measurement standard, so that there is a conversion medium between copper coins and gold and silver.

Thanks to the development of smelting and processing technology in Xianguo, the cost of collecting and recasting loose silver was greatly reduced, and in view of the demand and convenience of small amounts of gold and silver in market transactions, Bailiyan considered making small gold and silver coins at the lowest cost, and finally considered using the gravity cooling method to mint gold and silver beans.

The so-called "gravity cooling method" actually has no technical content, and has always been the main means of mass production of steel balls and lead shots.

This method is used in various types of diameter lead shots, copper shots, and iron shots used in Xianguo howitzer shotguns and shotguns. From the 12 zhang high platform, the molten iron is poured into the circular steel sieve hole at a zhang below the high platform, and the small diameter round hole is evenly made up in the sieve hole.

After passing through the hole, the fall is accelerated by gravity, and in this process, the molten iron tends to be spherical, and then falls into the pool under the tower for cooling.

It's incredible, but in fact, the flame also tends to be spherical during the high-speed gravity fall, so a candle is lit in outer space, and the flame of the candle is spherical.

The molten iron falls into the form of the instant cooling of the water, and the round shape is thus finalized, so that a relatively round metal pellet is obtained, and there are more different materials and requirements, some are used directly, and some are ground on the ball grinder after heat treatment.

Of course, this method cannot process metal pellets with large diameters, and larger diameter metal pellets can still only be roughed by casting or special machine turning, and then heat treated and grinded.

After the gold and silver are obtained by this method, they are ground into a standard diameter on a ball grinder, and when the diameter and composition are cured, their weight is indirectly cured, and the difference is very small.

When various countries are still racking their brains to obtain small-diameter inferior projectiles by means of simple sand casting, Xianguo has been able to produce tens of thousands of metal projectiles in half an hour at a time, which shows the gap in productivity brought about by the gap in technology.

Under the guidance of the white-faced Xiaosheng, the group went deep into the workshop, where the tic-tac-toe structure is conducive to sound transmission, while the climate in the northern part of the Central Plains is hot, and the tic-tac-toe structure is conducive to the diffusion of heat and the exchange with the outdoor air to form convection.

It is precisely because of the particularity of this structure that even if the structure of each music building is similar, it is not easy for newcomers to recognize the way, and it is easy to find the north without acquaintances to lead the way.

With the white-faced Xiaosheng all the way through, you can see graceful dancing girls everywhere, singing and dancing and playing the piano, local powerful sons, or businessmen from all over the world gather here, chanting the wind and the moon and coveting beauty, from time to time there are bursts of women's coquettishness, and men's flirting voices are unbearable.

All the way through the song building when entering the workshop to the middle music building, the atmosphere is obviously changed, just now it was a very noisy boiling sound, at this moment suddenly quieter a lot, the sound of the piano is endless, and there are literati and scholars to do poetry recitation.

Although there is a word "song" in the song building, it is a broad concept, but all ventriloquists belong to the category of songs.

For example, cross talk sketches, bragging, storytelling, opera, and even meat jokes are actually ventriloquism, and singing is no exception. Therefore, the so-called song house at the moment is actually more like chattering and coquettishness, telling jokes, and other idle services. Of course, there is also singing, dancing, playing small songs, etc.

When you arrive at the music building, you are all dancing and singing poems, and it is difficult to hear the noisy and noisy sound of the people, even if someone makes a loud noise, it will be reprimanded as a bad scenery.

The music hall is roughly the same as the song house, with private rooms, but there is also an open performance hall where several women play a song in unison, or many women dance to the drums.

All in all, there is one or two open performance halls on each floor of the music building, which can accommodate more than 20 people, and the dance duration is about one to twenty minutes, and the instrumental ensemble and even the solo performance is much longer.

When the next piece of music is as little as ten minutes or as long as half an hour, and the larger Huang Zhong Da Lu and other national-level performances, a big song is not an hour, and they are embarrassed to play it.

The group stopped downstairs, and the white-faced little student said with an embarrassed face:

"There are many private rooms in Lelou, and it is quite troublesome to find someone. Please also ask the distinguished guests to wait, take them one by one to ask Louzheng, and then reply to the nobles. ”

"It's okay, I'll walk around on our own, and if you ask for the result, let me know it immediately."

"Rest assured, as long as you are here, you will be able to find it for you."

"Hmm."

Bai Liyan nodded, watched the white-faced Xiaosheng leave in a hurry, and then took Zhou Kong and the others to look for Ma Youyi all the way.

The "building is positive" roughly the same as the length of the unit building, but the management is different.

There are more than a dozen or even dozens of big men under Lou Zheng to maintain the security of a building, preventing people from making trouble and smashing the scene, generally squatting at the corners of each floor and going up and down the stairs.

Lou Zheng is most likely a capable person with excellent eyesight, who can distinguish the appearance and color and see the wind and rudder, not to forget it, but at least to have a three-point impression at a glance.

There are two dance and music performance halls on the first floor of the music building, respectively with the east and west opposite the building, the performance hall area is large or small, the large one is one hundred and forty or fifty square meters, the small one is more than eighty or ninety square meters, the hall is separated by an arch inside and outside, and a curtain of yarn and a wooden bead chain is hung to block the external vision, so as not to show the spring color to the people who do not pay for it.

The accompanying guards could not enjoy such treatment, but could only wait outside or chat, or inquire about each other's news, while the dancing girls were brightly dressed and danced to the drums, and danced very cheerfully.

The second floor is arranged by the north and south floors to play multi-person musical instruments, and the third floor has no accidents, it should be large musical instruments such as bells and drums, and few people generally appreciate such percussion instruments, so at this time there is no sound of the impact of chimes on the third floor.

When he arrived at Nance on the second floor, he saw a familiar figure, and Bai Liyan recognized it as Xu Yan at a glance.

"Sure enough, it's them!"

Zhou Kong also saw Xu Yan, and said busily:

"Look, isn't that Xu Xu!"

"Well, Tang Tao and Fang'er should be inside."

The group quickened their pace, Xu heard the creaking sound of the wooden board and the frequent footsteps, Xu Wei turned around vigilantly, and was startled:

"Aunt, aunt......"

Bailiyan said in a deep voice with a straight face:

"Are the Seventh Lady and Fang'er inside?"

"In, in." Xu Yu nodded hurriedly, and then said, "Miss is coming out soon." ”

"Hmph, I think she dropped her soul inside. I ask you, how much silver was spent? ”

"Eight!"

Xu Fei wrote lightly, and Zhou Kong was taken aback:

"Eight! Listening to a little song costs eight pieces of silver, and this money is easy to earn. ”

At this time, Bai Liyan listened to the sound of Qin Se Xiao Di quite charmingly, and suddenly understood how the eight pieces of silver were spent.

"I see, it seems that this person who plays the piano is not ordinary."

Zhou Kong is a music idiot, she didn't hear the difference between the body and the bowstring, she hurriedly asked:

"How many pieces of music are worth eight pieces of silver?"

"Whether it is worth it varies from person to person, if you think it is worth eight pieces of silver, if you think it is not worth it, it is not worth anything. Chunrou, Chunfang, do you say no? ”

Chun Rou smiled, nodded and said:

"That's the case, but these eight inches of silver are really expensive to listen to only a few tunes, and I don't know how many sons are sitting in it, and at the end of this day, the money is too easy to make."

Chunfang on the side also echoed and said:

"What my sister said is that it's amazing to listen to three tunes for an inch of silver, and it's so expensive here, it's really dark."
