Chapter 558: The World Ceremony (Mao)

The so-called women's market is a large "sharing class" that is different from the domestic prostitutes, and in the vernacular, it is the national brothel that does the skin and meat business.

This "sharing economy" industry was created by Guan Zhong, the famous minister of Qi at that time, and the reason for the creation at first was that Guan Zhong felt that the nobles raised too many female slaves, which led to the concentration of female resources by the nobles in the country, which harmed the country.

So Guan Zhong wanted to liberate some of the female slaves from the nobles, but it hurt anyone to dig the flesh with a knife, and of course the nobles didn't want to.

Guan Zhong finally took a hard time to dig out 700 young female slaves with good looks from the head of state Qi Huan Gong and a group of doctors.

Each of the 700 female slaves was divided into one lu, forming the country's seven major brothels, the best one naturally stayed in Linzi, and the other six lus were arranged in other wealthy cities or cities with a very important strategic position in the Qi country.

The head of each Lu is not called the bustard but the Lu chief, and the one who can obtain the title of the chief is generally a female prostitute who has made significant contributions to the female Lu and the country.

Don't look at the head of this prostitute, although she is still a lowly person who is despised by the scholars, she is the person with the highest "title" in the prostitute industry!

Therefore, the goal of all female prostitutes is to become a long-term prostitute one day, so that although they cannot get rid of the sea of suffering when they are young, they can also settle down in a good fate when they are old.

Guan Zhong's original purpose in establishing the women's market was to provide fun for those Qiantou merchants who could not afford to marry or were not qualified to marry wives, but later discovered that this industry could not only increase the country's financial revenue, but also attract foreign capital and talents, and most importantly, stabilize the restless male lower class.

This made Qi Huan Gong and Guan Zhong eat the sweetness of the "sharing economy", and also made some nobles who were greedy for money and lustful eat the sweetness, they put those prostitutes and slaves they didn't need to Guan Zhong, and Guan Zhong then distributed these people to the female lu, and the last money earned by the female lu was red to the nobles according to the amount of investment.

In this way, a "virtuous circle" was formed, and the "national brothel" of Qi was bloomed everywhere.

Therefore, this profession has been legal and encouraging since Guan Zhong was in power in Qi State.

But after Lu Di came to power, this industry became illegal.

Because Lu Di doesn't like prostitutes, and even less likes prostitute culture, because the existence of this profession has made the whole of China less spirited, more cowardly, less shameful, and more West Lake singing and dancing.

Wu Zixu frowned very much after receiving Lu Di's edict, the women's market is an official camp and one of the country's financial sources, but it would be a pity if it was closed.

He played repeatedly, but Lu Di had no choice but to compromise with him, but only asked the Prime Minister's Office to strengthen the classified management of the women's market.

For those who are in the skin and meat business, Lu Di is out of sight and out of mind, so Wu Zixu directly drove them out of Linzi City and moved to Dongguo in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wu Zixu agreed.

And the women's square is the gathering place of the elite class.

Youling was originally called Youling for men and Ling, but this is a women's workshop, and no male actors are allowed, so this Youling refers to a woman who plays a male role in an artistic performance.

As for Youling culture, it is derived from the prostitute culture, which has long been recorded in ancient Chinese pre-Qin books, such as "Zuo Chuan? In the twenty-eighth year of Xianggong, it is recorded that the Chen family of Qi and the Bao family are superior.

At this time, the women's workshop was full of VIPs, tea and nuts were placed on the table, and they watched the performance on the stage while eating and drinking.

Shao Zhengmao looked up and saw that what was performing on the stage was the story of Su San that Lu Di told when he said goodbye to Nanzi.

He regretted it a little, he came late today, he was busy at the ticket office, bought a ticket, and was led to the seat by the little girl.

As soon as he sat down, he found that his "ticket friend" Nine Fingers Bo Yao had already arrived.

At this time, Bo Yao closed his eyes and listened to the melody sung by Youling on the stage, shaking his head with the rhythm from time to time, and tapping his fingers on the table.

Of course, the "ticket friends" are not only Bo Yao, the prince Yi of the Qin State, the "second lady" of the Song State, the prince of the Song State, the prince of the Chen State, the prince of the Cai State, the Han family of the Jin State, the Han family of the Jin State, the "Taisun" of the Wei State, the envoy of the Chu State Shen Zhuliang, the envoy of the Yue State Wen Chong, the envoy of the Zheng State Deng Xi, and the Prince Ji Huan of the Yan State who deliberately covered his face and hid in the private room to listen to the play, etc., all came early.

These people are in their home country, and there is nothing else in the nightlife except giving birth to children, and now they have come to the country of Qi and see the rich nightlife.

But after all, these people are culturally educated aristocrats, and they naturally disdain to hang out on street stalls, or buy snacks all over the street like children.

So the women's shop became the best place for them.

One is elegant here, the people who play are all people in the art circle, even if it spreads, it is not a fool, just like a person who steals a book is not a thief.

The second is that it is expensive here, not that ordinary people can come in, this is not a matter of money, this is a matter of status, for example, even if Jia merchants have money, they can only come in at the beginning of the month, the middle of the month, and the end of the month to enjoy themselves.

Three are miscellaneous here, what you want, as long as you meet the rules of the women's workshop, you can meet what you have. For example, Prince Shuo of Cai Guo asked to perform on the same stage with a particularly famous actress yesterday, and after meeting the rules, he really appeared on stage.

Prince Shuo originally just had the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect it to be in the end, which made him scream with joy.

The one who is playing Su San on the stage tonight is Tai Zishuo. 5610
