Li Ming once heard of a divine book that once sold more than "Harry Potter" and "The Da Vinci Code", and the name of the book was "What Do Men Think About Other Than Sex".

Priced at £4.69, the key is that all 200 pages are blank for the cover of the book, which reads 'What do men think about besides sex?'...... But others really didn't say it wrong......

Truth is always truth, whether it is placed in ancient times or in the present. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, when there was no entertainment, the people of Jiangdong who did not have the threat of war would naturally feel bored, and if they were bored and had no entertainment, they would naturally choose to make people crazy.

Rich people will not be so vulgar, they will read books and visit Qinglou. Qinglou and kiln are completely different concepts, a group of literati visiting Qinglou is regarded as an elegant thing, but visiting the kiln is not enough.

"Princess Wannian, I didn't expect you to be quite talented in the field of entertainment industry!" In the evening, in Li Mingshi's study, he entertained a distinguished guest. The point is, at the moment, both of them are slightly messy in their clothes. Liu Hua was lying in Li Ming's arms like this, and the relationship between the two was self-evident.

"How about marrying me?" Li Ming stroked Liu Hua's back and said warmly. No one expected that the two of them would actually come to this point, originally it was only because some ideas needed a practitioner, but it was inconvenient for the women around them to do it, so they found Liu Hua, who lived in seclusion in Huiji County.

Liu Hua is also old, and she is very eager for love, but at first Li Ming was more desired, after all, the other party was Liu Hong's eldest daughter, Princess Dahan.

"Hey, are you ashamed? My aunt didn't plan to be a concubine for others...... Wouldn't that be great? I'm also freer, and I can do some of the things I like, and I need to be with you again, which is good. Liu Hua smiled when he heard this, paused, and continued: "Your heart is also big enough, the green building, the casino and the kiln are all handed over to me to take care of, and I am not afraid of escaping with the money." ”

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, the key is that you are still your own people." Li Ming kissed her on the cheek.

"I know how to make people happy," Liu Hua snorted, but he still enjoyed this kind ......of pampering.

Three years ago, Li Ming found her and asked her if she wanted to rebuild Qiluo Pavilion, Liu Hua had been in Jiangdong for a while, everything was very peaceful, and there was no behavior to find out the news for Guanzhong, so Li Ming planned to contact her.

Liu Hua is very smart, as soon as Li Ming put forward this meaning, she knew very well that Li Ming wanted to establish a new intelligence point. Zhou's Inn, now everyone knows that it is Li Ming's mouthpiece and intelligence point to the outside world, it is said that in Hebei and some areas of Guanzhong, Zhou's Inn was also sealed by Yuan Shao and Liu Ting.

When I really took over, I realized that it was not only the Qinglou, but also the casino and the kiln. The key is that Li Ming's idea is still very unique, and he has given a lot of suggestions for improvement, and she has been busy in the past three years.

For example, the salonization of the Qinglou, in the final analysis, the original Qinglou is something similar to the salon, but it just makes it more thorough. Nowadays, there is not only a men's session, but also a separate courtyard for women. In the past, Cai Yan took a group of women who like literature and art from time to time to go to a poetry meeting, a calligraphy and painting appreciation meeting, or an afternoon tea conversation or something.

Later, the definition of Qinglou in the eyes of women also changed, even women who are not married will go over to join in the fun, spend time in the independent courtyard, men in order to see women, or look forward to a marriage, naturally will go, the only pity is that today's Qiluo Pavilion, all the maids are no longer selling.

Want? Yes, you can redeem yourself! In the same way, within three years, more than a dozen young maids were ransomed, and some even became wives. No one knows that behind these women, there is also the identity of the supernumerary personnel of the film guard.

Over time, the Qinglou has also become a gathering place for the upper class, especially the younger generation, who are not allowed to enter without a membership certificate. If you want proof of membership, there is also a very strict verification system, and not all nouveau riche can come in. There are no annoying nouveau riche who want to pull relationships, and the children of the family naturally have a lot of fun, and as a result, the consumption amount has also gone up.

In this way, the young man completely fell and became the main consumer force of the Qinglou, and the key is that the family did not object. After all, this is to expand contacts, get closer to other families, and the key is to be lucky and find a place to get married.

Relatively speaking, casinos and kilns are not places where the children of these families can come. Rao is so, the business of the casino is still very hot, and the key is that many children of the family are actually willing to come to play.

Since Li Ming became the assassin of Yangzhou, all casinos have been banned, and only casinos that are publicly run and issued a 'casino business certificate' can operate normally, otherwise they will not only be forced to close, but also severely punished, especially fines.

Today, there are no underground casinos in Koto, and there are only two or three large and medium-sized public casinos in each city.

The content of the game has also improved a lot, in addition to the traditional dice, pitching pots and other items, roulette, bridge, billiards and mahjong are very attractive pastimes, the Colosseum and the martial arts arena also attract many people to gamble, and even there are large racecourses in the suburbs to bet on horses. People in the Eastern Han Dynasty didn't expect that life could be so colorful, even if you don't gamble, it's very good to pay an entrance fee to go in, but in the end, you can't stand the temperament and don't gamble......

In the most eye-catching place at the entrance of each casino, there will be a warning: 'Small gambling is pleasant, big gambling hurts the body, and strong gambling is in ashes', in the final analysis, this is just Li Ming's bad taste. Just like the cigarette packs of later generations, there will be a sign printed on the side of the cigarette box that says 'smoking is harmful to health'.

Finally, there is the kiln, where all workers are required to undergo registration and regular physical examinations. Half-opened, not counting, all the kilns are completely reorganized according to the nightclub method, not only the bar, the dance floor, but also the sexyly dressed maids.

The hot dance, as well as the bewitching pole dance, and the privacy of the performers from time to time, make the kiln a favorite place for many middle and low-class workers, and after paying the entrance fee, even if you buy a plate of spiced peanuts or fennel beans at the bar, order a glass of beer or rice wine, and you can sit until the kiln closes.

Over time, even some children of small families will come to play in order to seek excitement, even more so the children of the Zhu family, and some daughters' families also come to join in the fun, dancing on the dance floor with a group of boys, and then there are always one or two idiots who don't have long eyes to send people's heads.

Casinos, green houses and kilns, along with women's specialty stores, are rapidly draining the family's savings. They earn more and spend more, and in general, within a ratio, unless there is a gentleman, there will be no situation where they have spent all their money.

"Others are eager to save money, during the period of the Second Emperor Wenjing, copper coins were piled up in the treasury, and the ropes that tied the money were rotten. It's good for you to invest a little money here. Either research or investment in new projects, but also encourage all the families to consume, and do everything possible to empty out other people's family funds if they do not consume...... This is the first time the slave family has seen such a master. Liu Hua teased.

"Hahaha, all I want is for them to spend money! No one wants to save their money until it rots! Li Ming laughed.

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Hua was curious, she knew that since this man said so, he naturally had a plan.

"What is money? Can you eat it? Does it warm up the body? Huaer can know that before the advent of money, people did not actually barter for what they needed. Later, because some things were inconvenient to store and could not be exchanged in a short period of time, a medium appeared, that is, currency! Li Ming said slowly.

At this point, Liu Hua can still understand, and then has the concept that money is the medium.

"Money is a bunch of scrap metal if it doesn't circulate, and only when it circulates can it play its value. The key is to develop under the rule, that is, to encourage consumption.

For example, if a family goes to the Qinglou to consume, if nothing else, only that the pastry is to be consumed, then it must be bought and the pastry comes back; If the pastry seller makes a lot of money, then the store will naturally have to buy some raw materials to make pastries; The more raw materials are sold, the farmers' incomes will increase, and they will also expand the cultivation of this part of the crop......

In the process of people's consumption, money is constantly circulating, and then new value is generated. If people make money and just bury it at home, then the result is that for the rich, the money is just a bunch of numbers, and they will get richer and richer. But there will be less and less money in society, and all kinds of economic activities will gradually cease.

Especially those who are diligent and thrifty, they are obviously rich and have to make green vegetables and white porridge every day. They make so much money and they don't spend it, so there's less money in circulation, less circulation, less economic activity, and the end result is less tax revenue. Qinglou, kiln and casino, which have been in business for so long, you should also know that I have collected heavy taxes in these three places! Li Ming said slowly.

"But don't forget, you have shares in these three industries......" Liu Hua teased.

"Ahem...... So I also encourage appropriate consumption, appropriate, understand? Li Ming coughed lightly.

"Hey, I'm a little girl, how can I understand so many big truths, you have to talk to Zhang Zhi (Zhang Zhao) about these words. But you're right, the Han just didn't see this, the taxes are getting less and less, and the family can't get rid of it, but the emperors of the Liedai only know how to collect money, but they don't advocate spending money, which has certain problems in itself. It is no wonder that if you want to pay the soldiers, and if you want the people below to use the people's power, you must give money, and abolish unpaid forced labor, which now seems to be the long-term way for a country...... It's just that the slave family is curious, how do you know this? Liu Hua looked at Li Ming curiously.

"I come from a humble background, and it just so happens that I can access many things that the emperor can't reach. Over time, it is analyzed, organized, and naturally becomes a set of theories. This also tells us that a king, first of all, cannot be separated from the people, from society, and be an otaku behind closed doors, so it is difficult to make correct judgments and deal with them. Li Ming said with a smile.

"Alas, my brother, I'm afraid I can't fight you...... Please also please, for my sake, leave him a small life. After all, my father has saved him from his blood. Liu Hua suddenly became a little sad.

"You and my child, wouldn't it be nice to give him the surname Liu?" Li Ming whispered in her ear.

"Then you're giving someone a child!" When Liu Hua heard this, he suddenly moved a little, stretched out his jade hand, and slowly rubbed it on Li Ming's chest.
