In this era, whether it was in the Great Song Dynasty or in the Federal Empire, as long as taxes were paid, prostitution was legal.

When the Great Song Dynasty never went south, there were a total of 19 large-scale prostitution houses in the entire Bianliang area of Tokyo, and there were far more than 100 that were not famous!

Even now, whether you are walking in Xinbianjing or Hangzhou, on some main streets, you can see maids walking by...... In some large restaurants, they look at the evening lights and candles, take pictures up and down, and hundreds of women with heavy makeup gather on the main corridor to wait for the call of the drinkers, looking like a fairy from afar.

Generally speaking, these prostitutes are "prostitutes but not bodies", and only drink and do not sleep with them...... The winner of the trick can write, be good at talking, balance characters, deal with moderation, and is a very intellectual woman; The next prostitutes are also capable of silk and bamboo orchestras, singing and dancing, and salty and refined, and they are generally talented women.

The old drivers of the Great Song Dynasty believed that only the worst quality maids betrayed their hue.

Old drivers know that these prostitutes are generally in the "Anitan Hotel".

The "An-Hotel" has a striking sign: red gardenia lamps are hung at the door, and they are covered with bamboo hats rain or shine.

This is a hint that there are prostitutes in it, and you can have fun, and there is a bed hidden in the wine pavilion, well, it is far different from the red light district in the Badaohe area, and the red lanterns are hung high, for fear that people from afar will not understand.

This is a place where the old drivers of the Great Song Dynasty look down on the old drivers of the Federal Empire, thinking that it is too explicit and unsightly.

In fact, in this era, prostitution is a relatively tasteless practice, and merry children are generally more willing to pursue those high-level maids.

The residence of high-end maidens, generally all of them are spacious and quiet, each has three or four halls, more flowers are planted before and after, or there are strange stone basins, left and right history, small room curtains, couches and drapery, etc., the layout is very elegant, attracting a large number of rich scholars and anointed children to come to visit with servants and good horses, and invite the maids to feast.

During this period, there will be great hospitality...... It is not possible for the overlord to make a hard bow.

Among these merry children who pursued prostitutes, there were scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam, and there were new scholars who had not been awarded official positions, that is, officials who were not in office.

Because according to the legislation of the Great Song Dynasty, officials are not allowed to summon tricks to buy drunk.

The Qinglou in the Great Song Dynasty is open to all citizens, as long as you can pay for it, but the officials are not allowed to set foot in it, and the officials themselves understand that it is difficult to go to the Trick Pavilion as a person.

If they sleep in the willows, once they are exposed and impeached, they may be punished or lose their posts.

During the reign of Emperor Xining of the Song Dynasty, there were three officials on the Liangzhejiang Road, just because they went to the feast.

and was deposed.

At that time, Wang Anshi was in power, and the Wang family did not love women, in order to enforce the new law and crack down on dissent,

On more than one occasion, he has used the method of "sweeping pornography" to clean up his political opponents.

Wang Anshi has a colleague called Zu Wuxue, who is an upright man who has offended the Wang family.

In the early years of Xining, Wang Anshi was in power, implemented the new law, and knew that the people's grievances were boiling, so he made a poem "Yongxue" to defend himself:

"The momentum is so strong that the ground is buried, and the success is the only way to see the return of spring. The village peasants do not know the people's will, and only look forward to the blue sky. ”

Zu Wuxuan laughed after hearing this, and ridiculed each other: "When it starts, the people will be barren in the ditch!" ”

Therefore, Wang Anshi held a grudge against Zu Wuxue, and ridiculed the prison director for the crime, that is, he secretly instructed his cronies as a prosecutor to search for evidence of Zu Wuxue's crime, so as to bring down Zu Wuxuan and make a stink.

Some of the imperial histories of Wang Anshi and Ma were the first to look forward, so they tried every means to collect evidence of Zu Wuxuan's crimes, and finally found one for them: "Zu Wuxuan knew Hangzhou, and sat down with the official Xue Xitao."

It means that when Zu Wuxuan was too punctual in Hangzhou, he had a scandal of prostitution, and the girl was called Xue Xitao.

Of course, Wang Anshi did not let go of this opportunity to clean up Zu Wuxue, and immediately arranged for someone to detain Zu Wuxuan for interrogation, and the maid Xue Xitao was also arrested, asking her to accuse Zu Wuxuan of prostitution.

Although Xue Xitao is a man in the dust, he is tougher than many men, and he is tortured by the case-handling personnel, but he refuses to testify that his ancestors have no choice, and in the end, Xitao refuses to admit until he is beaten to death.

Yushi's accusations against Zu Wuxuan are unsubstantiated and cannot be convicted.

Wang Anshi has no choice to deal with Zu, of course, he has ulterior motives to "rectify the person", and it is a norm to hit political opponents through his lower body.

But it cannot be said that Zu Wuxuan was wronged, because when he was in Hangzhou, he did have an "improper sexual relationship" with the maid Xue Xitao, and according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, if an official had an affair with a maid, he would indeed be punished.

It's just that Zu Wuxuan is very lucky, Xue Xitao has always been in love with him, and would rather die than betray him.

If Zu Wuxuan is not an official, but a commoner, then even if he is amorous, drunk every day, and sleeps in the willows every night, the government cannot use this as a lever to rectify him.

For example, in the case of Yoo Yong, this does not need to be mentioned again.

Speaking of which, it can be seen that there is actually a "double standard" in the etiquette law of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the so-called "etiquette is not inferior to the people" and "the Spring and Autumn Period blames the sages".

According to traditional ethics and morality, it is obviously not a glorious thing to ask flowers and willows, but "the virtue of the villain", the common people are not bound by too strict etiquette, which is the true meaning of "etiquette is not inferior to the people"!

Officials, as social elites, should set an example for all the people, and the "gentleman's virtue" should be bound by stricter etiquette, which is the righteousness of "reproaching the sage in the Spring and Autumn Period".

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty government generally turned a blind eye to what the common people did, and the legislation of "prohibiting prostitution" was only aimed at officials.

However, in the territory of the Confederation Empire, especially on the island of Liuqiu, as long as you are not working hours, as long as you are not wearing a uniform, as long as you pay for it yourself, as long as the other party is willing to ...... Officials and ordinary citizens can do that!

The Minister of Customs and Commerce and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are frequent visitors to the Qinglou Flower Workshop, and in several luxurious bathing centers, they are super golden VIPs...... That's what it means...... ...... of all ages, nationalities, and colors They all have to taste it first.

When they were young, they didn't dare to make nonsense, because the lords wouldn't let them, and when they were all adults...... Hey...... Then let it go.

I don't know where the two of them learned a sentence, saying something "don't suppress human nature" all day long, and so on.

Although the officials and citizens of the Federal Empire are the same, as long as they pay, as long as the other party wants, anyone can do that...... But no one is as exaggerated as the two of them.

Of course, the two of them were usually in places far away from the king and queen, for fear of being reprimanded by the king and queen.

They are not afraid that the king will kick them in the ass, but that the queen will take them in the ear......

A few down-and-out scholars of the Great Song Dynasty went to Badaohe to beg for a living, and after discussing it, they decided to engage in their own business and run a small ten-day newspaper.

But it has been a dismal operation, and the day is not full...... Their "News Daily" could not increase its circulation, and it could not attract wide publicity, and several people were miserable.

While they were doing everything possible to find news events in the hope of attracting subscriptions, a mysterious guy sent a thick document...... He refused to report his name, nor did he want their fees.

A few scholars opened it and saw that it was the materials of the customs and commerce minister Kwak Zi-jin and the finance minister Gu Jianshan in Jeju Island...... Not only are there captions, but there are also photos!
