Chapter 1252: The Wartime Female Economy
ο»Ώ
Immediately, Liu Konghe understood that what the old bustard said was just a clichΓ©. --Merchant, when you see people, you will say good things, and you will be deceived first
γ If you don't pretend to be an acquaintance, how can you be willing to pay for money.
He was a war general, and he didn't know anything about civil affairs, and immediately became interested in the open curfew that the good villains 'made', and the merchants were heavily taxed. He was not in a hurry to find Liu 'Chun' and Hao Xiaoren, so he threw a piece of silver over: "Don't be busy, I have a few words to ask you." β
Seeing the silver, the old bustard's eyes turned into a crescent moon with a smile, and he roared delicately: "Uncle Xie's reward, the old body will arrange it." If Meixiang's little slut is still lukewarm to you, master, I'll tear her 'forced' mouth...... By the way, what do you want to ask, sir...... Sit down and watch the tea first. β
Immediately, Liu Konghe was welcomed in, ordered someone to put tea in the hall, and asked someone to call Mei Xiang.
According to the rules of the Qinglou, this is called playing tea around. Liu Konghe looked around and saw that there were several other tables of people sitting in the hall, all drinking tea and chatting with the 'girl', which of course had to be paid.
"I don't have to call someone, I'll talk to you." Liu Konghe asked about the cost of having fun here.
It's okay not to ask, but this question immediately startled.
If you want to have fun here, you end up sharing the same 'bed' with your favorite 'girl', and you don't just throw the silver and take off your clothes. First of all, you have to play tea and talk to the 'girl' a few times, and only after everyone gets acquainted with each other can you talk about other things.
Generally speaking, in the past, a tea circle was only two or three taels of silver. [See the latest chapter of this book, please go to Marshmallow] Now during the siege, this expense has risen to ten taels, or even more. This is already the annual expense of ordinary people, and just saying a few words for a cup of tea is simply crazy.
After playing a few tea rounds, after everyone is familiar with it, you can go deep into the 'exchange'. Then, eat at a bar, during which the 'girl' will take a moon qin and call the musician to sing you a tune and accompany you to a meal. This cost is too big, why do you have to give the wine money to the treasury of 50 taels and one ingots, right? The musician wants to see the reward, and you have to express the maid next to the girl. As a result, more than 100 taels went out
γ
After eating a few wines, everyone has feelings, and you can live here and have a mandarin duck 'cross' neck sleep. As for the money, you look at giving. Normally, it has to be hundreds of taels.
This set of processes can be called five levels and six generals, just for one night, a few hundred taels of silver went out. The same is true of the Yoigum Cave, which could not be used as money during the war.
What is the concept of a few hundred taels, and the white rice in the peaceful years is only a dozen yuan a catty. A "Yi Red Mansion" is enough for the old snacks at home for several lifetimes.
Of course, "Leaning on the Red Mansion" is a high-end green building, and all the people who come on weekdays are salt merchants, gentry and officials, all of whom are people with status. The low-grade kiln outside is cheap and convenient, but it can't afford to lose that person.
As for the male 'rooster' seeing the female 'hen', the male duck seeing the female duck, when they meet each other, they will untie their clothes and take them to the 'bed' kiln, which is only a few dollars of silver on weekdays, but now because it is a special period, it has risen to eleven taels one time.
Hearing what the bustard said for a long time, Liu Konghe was surprised in his heart, this was too expensive. Then he asked, "Your business is so good, how much tax does the government collect?" β
"This, this ......" The old bustard hesitated a little, looked left and right, and stopped talking, as if he was a little scared.
Liu Konghe handed over another piece of silver, and when he saw the money, the old bustard cursed in a low voice: "Master Jun, it can be seen that you are also a straightforward man in the army, and you must hate that good villain." Not only your Shandong army, but even our merchants were also harmed by that dog officer. β
Liu Konghe: "You go on." β
Lao Bustard: "The tax collected by the dog official is too heavy, and it can be seen that he is also a frequent visitor in the Fengyue Field, I don't know how, he actually 'touched' the situation here very clearly, and knew how much silver each guest officer would have to 'spend' after coming in." Therefore, they sent officials to stand at the 'gate' to count the number of people, and every person who came in was recorded, and then let us 'pay' taxes according to the number of people. A guest, let us pay fifty taels. Speaking of this, the old bustard seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The guest officer gave a reward of sixty taels, and after deducting taxes, he still made some money." You are also a generous guest, and when you encounter the kind of picking, you are afraid that you will have to pay dozens of taels in the building. β
She couldn't help shaking her head and sighing: "Business is not good, business is not good!" β
Liu Konghe was even more surprised, the fireworks 'flower' tax had reached an astonishing eighty. Seeing the people coming and going here, the daily operating income is afraid of thousands of taels. There are more than a dozen high-end green buildings in the city, such as "Leaning on the Red Mansion", as for the "private" kiln, I am afraid that there are more than 100 kilns, and now I count, this Shandong army alone has tens of thousands of taels of input every day, and Hao Xiaoren, the ****, is really good at 'getting' money
γ
"No, no." Liu Konghe remembered something and continued to ask: "According to what you said, it is a price to play tea around, it is a price to eat wine and listen to music, and it is another price to live here. After staying here for one night, you went out for a few hundred taels of silver, so you still make a lot of money! β
There are at least twenty or thirty girls in the building, and they are basically not available these nights, which is an astronomical amount.
"It's useless." The old bustard was angry: "The dog official has long been guarding against this, and he has already registered the girls in the building, and regardless of whether it is convenient for them or not, he has to pay fifty taels of overnight fees in the building every day." If it is delayed, the building will be closed and arrested. β
Liu Konghe shook his head with a smile: "It's really not a 'hole' at all!" Since the tax is so high, how can your building still be open? β
The old bustard smiled and said, "Master Jun, it's not that you don't know that today's market is so lively. If you wait for a fighter, there is no tomorrow today, and you can't tell when you will ...... Phew, I'm crow's mouth......"
She deliberately stretched out her hand and gently 'pumped' her fat face to the ear: "The so-called wine today is drunk today, people, don't you just want to be happy, it's useless to save that silver." Eat well, drink well, and play well, so that you have the strength to go into battle and kill the enemy. β
"It is precisely because the business is so good that after deducting taxes every day, I can earn several times more than in the peaceful years." Speaking of money, the bustard smiled even more happily, and he didn't care about cursing the villain.
After roughly understanding the situation, Liu Konghe didn't bother to talk to the bustard, so he stood up and strode upstairs.
The old bustard was taken aback and shouted, "Master Jun, where are you going, you can't go up there!" β
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the thugs of the two Qinglou rushed over.
Liu Konghe glared at them and shouted, "Get out of the way, if you don't want to die, get out!" β
He had just been fighting for a day, and he was full of murderous energy, and if he didn't agree with a word, he wanted to 'draw' a knife to kill someone.
The two thugs knew so well that they didn't dare to step forward, and exclaimed: "Someone's coming, someone's coming, someone is making trouble!" The brothers of the Ya'men', there are soldiers who have sabotaged the War of Resistance! β
