Hou Junji, the secretary of the ministry, was ineffective in suppressing bandits, and was finally recalled to Chang'an by Li Dong. But the gangsters in Fengzhou obviously played a trick, although he did not succeed in suppressing the bandits, but he did not fail, the "bandits" in Juye County broke up all the way and turned all the way, and now they are just wandering around Juyeze, in general, Hou Shangshu is still meritorious, but the merit is not so great.

"You said that Hou Junji is a famous place on the battlefield and is invincible in the Western Regions, why can't the small Juye County succeed in a battle?"

"Who knows? Maybe there is also a day when you walk at night and bump into ghosts? ”

"I've heard that the gang of people in Juye County, many township parties have brought guys over to help, and even the weapons superintendent's flying arrows."

"Who did you listen to?"

"The people of Lijin Yamen, on the day when Baigou Jinkou set up a card, Chen Erlang, who collected the money, was my fellow villager in Hangzhou."

"Then these turtle grandsons didn't say to take down those traitors?"

"Take a fart, they're not government soldiers, and this matter is not their business."

"Phew! Be a soldier and be paid, these turtle grandsons! ”

When the merchant ships had to give way to the grain ships in Qiangu, Anyi County, Chuzhou, and were fighting in Dongguan Town, Jinkou, when they began to collect summer grain, the merchant ships had to give way to the grain ships, and he could relax for a few days, and he didn't have to fight with the merchants who stole chickens and dogs.

The towns here are prosperous because of the canal and because of the great prosperity of commerce, not to mention salt, rice, grain, tea, silk, wine, and sugar, all of which are bulk transactions.

And because Chuzhou, Yangzhou, and Runzhou are the key points in the north of the Yangtze River, the number of workshops on both sides of the canal is increasing, and the population is similar to that of Chuzhou, which has begun a cluster effect, so the profits of salt merchants may not be as high as elsewhere, but the profits are small and quick to sell, and the wealth accumulation is much faster than elsewhere.

In the past few years, along the South Canal, most of the fish and dragons are mixed, and the industry, industry, agriculture and soldiers are intertwined, giving birth to a large number of parasites. Xiangtang will flow of water, take advantage of the situation, and become the lackey of big businessmen, big aristocrats, and big bureaucrats.

And Qian Gu, as an extremely special existence, made no one on the ground in Huainan Dao dare to challenge his status.

All the officials and businessmen must be subdued in front of him.

However, Qian Gu himself knew very well that these people were not soft on him, but on the emperor behind him.

However, even if it is just the humility of the situation, it also makes Qian Gu extremely useful.

Because of the convergence of the north and the south, there is also the convergence of the beauties of the north and the south, not only the beauties of the north and the south, but also the Silla maids, the Japanese slaves, and the Khitannus...... Girls of different styles can also be seen here.

Although it is an illegal business, because the demand is too great, Anyi County has completely become a gold cave in Dongguan Town, at the mouth of the South Canal.

There are more than 400 secret prostitute mansions entrenched in the coolie wharf alone, and each mansion has three or five prostitutes of different ages. Most of these cheap prostitutes were widows and Silla maids who were trafficked to Huainan Province and Gangnam Province, and they were short in stature and slightly dark-skinned, but for coolies, slender men, boatmen, thugs, and green skins, it was not expensive to manipulate them once in ten or twenty wen.

These 2,000 cheap prostitutes, because most of them make a living by the riverside, the people of the time compared them to the snails that stole by the riverside, so they called them "snail girls".

If a merchant from other places arrives in Anyi County and asks about the place of recreation, the locals will see that the other party is not dressed and talked very decently, so they will say: "Dongguan Town is west of the river, go and say that you want to eat a snail, and someone will guide you." ”

So, over time, "eating snails" became a black word for prostitution.

But if you have a little money, or your family background is quite refreshing, you will not go to find "Luo Niang", you have to go to the east of the town, and when you get there, you are not a secret prostitute, of course, there are also people who do semi-closed business, but whenever you come out to do semi-closed business, there is a story that makes the prostitute full of emotion.

When both parents died at an early age; What did he sell himself to help his brother study? What mother-in-law is blind and sick in bed......

In short, every lady in the half-closed door business can tell a tragic story with tears in her eyes that makes the people who fall in love with her also cry.

It's also funny, in the early years, Yangzhou loved to listen to Chang'an poems, and singing poetry was naturally sought after. But in the end, the poems were only the tricks of the scribes, and later, the "poems" gradually spread eastward because of the Zou Guogong Zhang Gongjin, and the merchants were prosperous, and the merchants liked to sing the lyrics.

With the further development of commerce and trade, the opening of workshops has greatly increased the labor force of workers, and the workers do not understand or cannot afford to hear, so they love to listen to legends, such as "Xiangshuai Chu Liuxiang" and the like, which are the most pleasing to them.

Because of this, coupled with the "dispute between elegance and vulgarity", a group of people who made up legends were born, including a section of "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust" arranged by Wei Gong Li Jing, and the angry Li Jing scolded in Chang'an.

Almost processed, ingenious stories became more and more in demand, and with the help of paper and printing, these written legends officially became quite easy to understand "family words".

It is this group of "families" that when they are exhausted and can't think of exquisite grievance stories, they go to Dongguan Town to "collect style". This "picking", naturally not to find the Hu girl, the "snail girl" is never touched, is to find those who do semi-closed door business, as soon as they enter the door, they pretend to be a young prostitute who has just debuted, and after listening to the story of the beautiful girl, then take off his pants and work hard, and then put on his pants and quickly go back to transcribe the story.

Over time, it was a newcomer from other places, introduced by friends and friends, and went to the famous half-closed door to consume, and when he heard the story, he actually high-fived and shouted: "Ahhhh Lady, your life experience is really miserable, I listened to the pastime legend in the Suzhou teahouse, there is a little lady there, and half of the lady is bitter. ”

This is the bottom of the leakage of those "families", which immediately attracted countless ridicule, about prostituting people to give money, prostituting stories and not giving money, or prostituting for nothing, shameless!

So some good things ghosts say that plagiarism is prostitution, and it has become a joke in the Huaiyang realm.

But if you want to talk about white prostitution, these "homes" are still not as good as Qian Gu.

Ambassador Qian didn't look down on those who were doing business with a closed door, but he only heard that there was a poetry club and a literary club somewhere, so he wanted to take a look. He also knows that most of the girls in those poetry societies and literary clubs are also down-and-out families, and their ancestors may also have some doorways, but in the end they are still down.

These girls from small families, who can read and write, used the name of "meeting friends with literature", emulated the two princesses of Luoyang, took the title of "talented girl", and played some tricks with scholars and businessmen.

Of course, most of these women are "selling their art but not their bodies", and they are also "Bingqing Yujie", but who is Ambassador Qian? Even the cunning profiteers can't evade taxes from him, let alone such a little woman?

Therefore, as long as someone matches up, Ambassador Qian has always refused to come, as long as it is not too ugly, he will stay overnight.

If the woman said anything "unwilling to be a powerful person", Ambassador Qian must be overjoyed: "That's good, you and I have a good time, after dawn, each goes his own way, it is a dew fate, and it will never damage the reputation of the lady......"

If the woman is very direct and says, "The concubine is not from the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and does not sell herself", then the money ambassador is even more happy: "If I don't give money when I sleep, the lady will not be sold......"

With just these few tricks, I played all the "talented girls" in this town, and I also had a reputation of "iron-faced selflessness", which really made the "family" extremely envious, so I had to make up a person surnamed Qian in my own book and use it to arrange it.

And it is these all kinds of people and children's things, it will be this Anyi County originally a lonely town, the reputation spread to the borderlands, even the workers who built the Dunhuang Palace, every time they rest, they will swear a curse, and when they fight for wages, they will definitely go to Dongguan Town, Anyi County to prostitute once......
