The reason for the Executive Committee's concern was simple, but it could not be explained to Li Nai, because he probably did not understand why gambling stalls and the storage of ** would destroy the stable social order of Shengli Harbor. Pornography, gambling and drugs were the three major crimes that were explicitly banned in China in later generations, and it was difficult for the Executive Committee to agree to these businesses in Shengli Harbor if "Fu Ruifeng" wanted to do these businesses in Shengli Port.

Regarding the danger to the social order, the traversal from later generations is very clear, not to mention the public, even if the gambling is done in private, the executive committee is not allowed. Once this thing is formed, it can really be said that there will be endless troubles.

But people have a natural element of gambling, just like the time-travelers chose to come to the seventeenth century, in fact, it is also a kind of ** for the future of life. The plan of the Executive Committee is to wait for the economic level of the jurisdiction to develop to a certain extent, and the people no longer need to worry about their livelihoods, and launch the first industry in a timely manner to meet the needs of this human nature. Of course, the ** industry also belongs to the scope of public utilities, and private individuals will not be allowed to operate, and most of its income will be used for the construction of public facilities and welfare policies, as in later generations.

And ** This business is even more troublesome, just thinking of the group of women in the group who shout "women's rights must be guaranteed" every day, the executive committee will never dare to agree to Li Nai's request.

As far as the Executive Committee knows, most people can only rely on the works of those "people's artists" in the Dashu library to solve their physiological needs, but there are also people in the group who have already used some simple means to coax some women of the Li and Miao ethnic groups to trade skin and flesh. However, since there is no major cause of right and wrong, it is all something that you and I want, and the executive committee pretends not to know. But walking by the river for a long time, after all, you have to get your shoes wet, and if you don't know when something will happen, you still have to find a long-term solution. From a practical point of view, in this era, **** is a legitimate business that objectively exists, and the situation of more men and fewer women in the crossing group is also prone to some problems.

But the difficulty of the problem is that it is impossible not to cause a backlash from feminists, and the voice of this part of the people is impossible to ignore by the executive committee, and it is very likely to cause a relatively large contradiction within the group, which is obviously not something that several executive committee members can decide in one word, and the decision must be made after the executive committee openly discusses and solicits the opinions of some people.

Tao Dong came to see that it was not too early, so he took the initiative to mention that he would have dinner first and talk again tomorrow. Li Nai was not in a hurry, so he agreed to this proposal. However, at dinner, Li Nai made another request, wanting to visit the local academy run by the Crossing Group. For this request, Tao Donglai agreed to it in one bite.

Even if Li Nai does not take the initiative to mention this matter, the Executive Committee already has a plan and arrangement in this regard. In the future, with the expansion of the territory controlled by the Group, a large number of literate people will inevitably be needed to act as grassroots managers, and only relying on the training of the Group's own academy will certainly be far from keeping up with the growth of demand. The most realistic and effective solution is to attract the down-and-out literati of the Ming Dynasty to work, and before that, we must first obtain the psychological identity of the other party.

A scholar like Li Nai, who has achieved great fame, can already be regarded as a representative of the literati class of the Ming Dynasty, and his identification with Haihan culture will be an important reference for the Executive Committee to adjust its cultural export strategy. If Li Nai can also have a certain sense of identity with Haihan culture in terms of culture and education, then the next step can be to ask "Fu Ruifeng" to recruit those down-and-out literati who can't get into the fame and can't support themselves in the mainland to work in Shengli Port.

After dinner, Li Nai and He Qiang went back to their residence to rest. In the past two days, they have negotiated orders of more than 20,000 silver, and they have also negotiated several cooperation agreements with the crossing group, and now they need time to have a good clue. Tao Donglai convened a regular meeting of the executive committee members to discuss whether the deals proposed by Li Nai today were feasible. Except for Gu Kai, who was sent abroad, and Mr. Yuan, who was ill, the two could not attend, and the other executive committee members all came from their respective stations to attend this regular meeting.

Tao Donglai concisely recounted the results of today's negotiations with Li Nai, and then said: "We have already discussed the introduction of facilities such as merchants, inns, and restaurants, so there is no need to repeat it this time, in principle, as long as the other party abides by the rules we have set, these businesses can be allowed to enter Shengli Port." But gambling and **, I think this still needs to be fully discussed, and it is better to make a decision after weighing the whole. ”

Ning Qi smiled: "Lao Tao, your mind is deep enough, you don't want to carry the black cauldron yourself, so you plan to pull the entire executive committee to carry this black cauldron together?"

Tao Donglai said disapprerovingly: "How can this be called a black cauldron? We are a system of democratic centralism, and the decision made by the executive committee is the final decision, and everyone in the group must implement it according to it. ”

Ning Qi shook his head and said: "It's just a gambling stall, that's a business that we have long discussed not to let private people do, but this **...... Regardless of whether we are accurate or not, there will be dissatisfied voices within the house, do you think this is a black cauldron?"

Ning Qi is undoubtedly very keenly aware of the internal contradictions hidden behind this decision, if "Fu Ruifeng" is allowed to set up a **** in the local area, then it will definitely attract severe criticism from the "Women's Federation", although Gu Kai is gone, but his Yanma girlfriend Ressa stayed in Victory Harbor and did not leave. In addition, it is said that Ressa is extremely popular among female members, and when the Executive Committee is re-elected a year later, it is very likely that Ressa, who has the votes of female members, will squeeze out the current executive committee and become a feminist representative in the Supreme Council.

And if the Executive Committee vetoes Li Nai's suggestion, the single men who make up the majority of the population of the Crossing Group will definitely complain afterwards, and the Executive Committee, which has cut off the possibility of the implementation of this "welfare", will definitely be attacked by verbal and written criticism. It has been four months since the time came, and the Executive Committee's previous commitment to solve the spousal problem has not only not been substantively resolved, but has not even come up with a feasible plan for public discussion. Single men have already launched several attacks on the "inaction" of the Executive Committee in this regard at the forum, believing that the Executive Committee is deliberately ignoring the "mass work".

Of course, the Executive Committee is not a deaf and blind ornament about these "voices of the masses", and it knows some about it. However, given the existing local conditions, it is really not easy to solve the growing physiological needs of the people. The local population structure used to be dominated by the Li and Miao ethnic groups, and if the female issue was not handled well, ethnic disputes could easily arise, and among the increasing number of immigrants, the male labor force still accounted for the majority, and on the whole, the local male and female ratio was still in a strict imbalance.

Of course, there are also proposals that as a collective benefit, simply buy maids or even female slaves directly from the outside and distribute them to single members by lottery. However, there are also many people who believe that pure human trafficking is a "heavy historical regression" for the crossing group, and that the title of slave trader may remain on the heads of their "sages" for the rest of their history, and although the prisoners who have been brought in from Yazhou for hard labor are also a disguised human trafficking, they insist that the nature of the two is completely different. Therefore, although this method has also been discussed at the Executive Committee, it has been in a state of pending.

He Xi and others in the Yazhou Office have given the Executive Committee a more feasible idea: organize a short trip to Yazhou every ten days or half a month, so that those who are willing can go to Yazhou to solve their personal needs. In this way, the dissatisfaction of the majority of single people can be alleviated in the short term, and at the same time, it will not give feminists something to say.

I have to say that this idea sounds very powerful, but in practice, I still encountered some small troubles, and the first batch of people to go met a sick person, and they were all scared to lift their pants and leave. Of course, the Executive Committee did not have any way to carry out health monitoring of Yazhou's **, so this method ended in nothing.

And now Li Nai's proposal has put this problem directly in front of the Executive Committee, and this time there is no chance to even evade, if the Executive Committee cannot come up with a feasible plan, then it will be as Ning Qi said, whether it agrees or rejects, it will be attacked by opposing opinions.

"I think it's better to follow the procedure and vote. Bai Kesti said: "Make a decision first, and then think of a solution." ”

In addition to the two absent executive committee members, the executive committee members present were Tao Donglai, Ning Qi, Bai Kesi, Yan Chujie, Schneider, Meng He, and Yue Zhiyun. According to the statutes of the Executive Committee, as long as more than two-thirds of the members of the Executive Committee are present, the decision taken by the vote is valid. These seven people have one thing in common, that is, they are all single.

Seven single men voted on such an issue, and the results speak for themselves.
