Chapter 212 [Official Camp]
There are four family manors in Wancheng, which were slightly strengthened by Wei Yan's raid and turned into a small dock fort, each station stationed a number of people and horses, and at the same time served as a branch office of Yancai Qianzhuang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the north, east, and west sides of each Wu Fort, a small blue building was built, all of which were made of blue bricks and green tiles.
The decoration on the east side is noble and elegant, and the women in it are not only fresh and refined, but also know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and most of them are the direct female family members of the leaders of the hostile forces, which are used to entertain the children of the family, and each woman's spending money for the night is at least 10,000 yuan, and those children of the family are required to show their talents, if there is no talent, they will not be accepted. Those children of the family have never seen this kind of "holding the pipa and half-covering their faces", and they were seduced by the women in this green building who wanted to talk and rest, and wanted to welcome and refuse, and they all obediently took out the money to spend the night.
The one on the west side is richly decorated, and the women inside are beautiful and plump, and most of them are middle-class women in the female families of some enemy soldiers who died in battle, mainly receiving those businessmen, officials, and soldiers who have no literary talents, only selling their bodies and not performing arts, and each woman's nighttime expenses are at least 1,000 yuan, which must be taken out in advance, and prostitution is not allowed to overlord chicken, and it only takes four or five hundred yuan to engage in it once.
The decoration on the north side is more ordinary, and the women in it are slightly more beautiful, mostly the women who are slightly beautiful among the female families of the enemy soldiers who died in battle, and those women who are completely unattractive are sent to mine. The overnight fee for each woman here is at least two hundred yuan, of course, it only costs fifty yuan to do it once, and the average soldier in the army can afford it, and those laborers who were recruited by Wei Yan to build the palace castle and repair the walls of Yecheng are very well-paid and can afford to spend it, and those tun people can occasionally come to patronize after selling the food in their hands.
As a result, these green buildings have become gold houses, and many people enter the Yancai Money Village in Wubao to handle deposits, loans or exchanges, and they can't help but be attracted by the Qinglou women outside the Wubao Gate, and they go to play while they have money at hand, and they are addicted to playing, so they come to play two more.
Especially those people from the family, they are tired of the ladies who married them at home, come to the east of the green building, and show off their literary talents in those women who are good at performing and selling their bodies, and by the way satisfy the curiosity of the hunting psychology, in front of these women who have been trained to look at them with adoring eyes, they will not be stingy, although there are no fools who spend a lot of money, but it is not uncommon to spend ten gold and one hundred gold.
If this Qinglou is done well, it can open branches all over the country, which is definitely a big business, even more profitable than the tea business.
However, once such a business is opened to the people, it is very easy for women to be abducted and trafficked and forced into prostitution.
Moreover, once it is released, such businesses that require a background will also be monopolized by the family family, and those family families will not give themselves a single hair.
Therefore, at this stage, Wei Yan can only adopt the method of official camp, after all, it was also the official camp used by Guan Zhong at the beginning.
The problem was that he couldn't find the right people to help him manage the industry.
Later, once he talked to Zou Ying, Zou Ying took the initiative to ask: "Give it to the concubine!" ”
Wei Yan disagreed very much at that time: "You are my woman, how can you care about that kind of thing, let outsiders hear it, and think that you are also doing that kind of thing!" ”
Zou Yingmei smiled: "Of course it's not me who is going to take care of the Qinglou, but I sent someone to invite some people to help my husband manage it!" ”
Wei Yanjian raised his eyebrows: "What person?" ”
Zou Ying said with a smile: "The concubine's family used to be wide, and she used to raise some courtesans, and I once followed them to learn pipa and singing skills, and the relationship was very good. Although they are not pure prostitutes, but there are quite a lot of similarities, the concubines sent people to find them, and then through them, find more courtesans, mostly the kind of women who can no longer be courtesans when they are old and decrepit, they come to help the concubines deal with it, the concubines don't have to come forward in person, they just need to be handed over to them to manage, those official prostitutes were originally women from good families, where do they know how to better please men, but those women who have been courtesans know best, and the husband can hire them to be the shopkeepers of those green houses, They can not only help the husband manage, but also help the husband train those official prostitutes, but the husband has to pay something. ”
Later, Wei Yan learned that Zou Ying's brother turned out to be Zou Jing.
Zou Jing served as a captain in his early years, and Gongsun Zhan together to crusade against the Hu people, Zou Jing was besieged by the Hu people, rescued by Gongsun Zhan, in the first year of Zhongping, after the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Bei led his subordinates to follow Zou Jing to crusade against the Yellow Turban. Later, Zou Jing followed Liu Yu to die at the hands of Gongsun Zhan, and the Zou family then declined, and then was taken by Zhang Ji.
Wei Yan asked in surprise, "What do you pay?!" ”
Zou Ying said with a smile: "Those courtesans are old, they all want to have a good home, and now the best destination for them to marry is the soldiers of the Yiyang Army, not only the military salary is high, the welfare is good, and they have a good lord who takes care of the family, and he will definitely be a good man like their lord, so the concubine begged her husband to find some soldiers to match with those courtesans." In addition, these courtesans are a lot older, but they haven't even got a dowry, they take care of the Qinglou for their husbands, and the husbands are not stingy and want to pay them. ”
"The salary will naturally be given, it is better to do this, the money earned by those official prostitutes, they can all get one percent, the official prostitutes get one percent, and the remaining one percent is reserved for the operation of the Qinglou, and the remaining seventy percent is handed over." These official prostitutes are all guilty of guilt, and they can't be too generous to them, and the old courtesans only earn one percent, but they can't stand the many official prostitutes managed below.
"Yicheng, the concubines help them calculate, if they are in charge of the women in the East Building, even if a woman only receives one a day, they can only receive three hundred a year, even if there are only ten women in a building, they can earn three million dollars a year, they are really rich, and the concubines thank their husbands for them." Zou Yingying bowed down.
Wei Yan smiled: "Don't be so optimistic, you still have to have someone to manage the women in the North Building, and the women there only need fifty yuan at a time." ”
"Fifty dollars a time, but those women can receive more than a dozen a day, five hundred dollars a day, there are 150,000 yuan a year, and the North Building has the most women, at least a hundred, and they can earn 1.5 million yuan!" Zou Ying said: "They have taught concubines, and concubines can't bear to let them fall in their old age, but now that their husbands can use them, concubines are at ease." ”
For the time being, Zou Ying indirectly took over the Qinglou business through those courtesans, and she didn't get involved in it at all, but commanded remotely in the Pingnan General's Mansion.
Later, Wei Yan found a better candidate, so Zou Ying was mainly in charge of the affairs of the art troupe.
This woman is Fan Jian's wife, Wu Meiniang.
In addition, Fan Jian also has a younger sister, nicknamed Bingbing, if history does not change, she later became Zhao Fan's sister-in-law, seducing Zhao Yun.
Wu Meiniang and Fan Bingbing, I'll talk about it next time.
