Xiong Zhuangzhuang's eyes were like torches, and he also found a trace of abnormality, and asked, "Miss Xiaobi, why is there no brothel here?"

Xianghe Qibi's face stiffened, and she said angrily: "It turns out that you want to go to the Qinglou?"

"No, no!" Xiong Zhuangzhuang hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said, "You misunderstood, I was just curious to ask." I've seen other cities have green buildings, but not here!"

Xianghe Jiebi was very unhappy, and pulled her face and said, "Then you must go to that kind of place often!"

"I haven't been, really! I haven't been!" Xiong Zhuangzhuang wanted to slap himself twice, why did he ask such a sensitive question without holding his mouth back.

Even if you have a yearning for Qinglou in your heart, you have to find time to explore slowly in private with the fat man!

"Hmph, I don't believe it!" Xianghe cut Bibi with his hands behind his back, ignoring Xiong Zhuangzhuang anymore.

Lucia said with a smile: "Xiangheji originally had a green house, but later because my lord objected, all the brothels of the green house were demolished. Her old man said that the brothel of Qinglou is a place to hide filth and filth, and if a woman has no livelihood, she can be guided to do other things, and she must not be a prostitute, be humiliated, exploited by others, and bring bad atmosphere on the island. In our Xiangheji, the sex trade is strictly prohibited, and once discovered, it will be deported and will never be able to enter the island. ”

Yun Tianjia's heart jumped, and he said sincerely: "Your lord is really a bodhisattva!"

"In fact, I have also heard some people criticize what nonsense they say about chromophobia, and say that everything that exists has its truth. Since merchants have the need to buy joy, there will naturally be people to sell it. The forcible ban on Qinglou seems to fight for women's rights on the surface, but in fact it will only backfire. ”

Lucia sighed and said, "After the demolition of the Qinglou, some businessmen who are interested in interests are still unwilling and move the trading venue to the ship, and they can't be found clean. In order to make money, the businessman loses his conscience, so it's okay, why don't women respect themselves?"

Yun Tianjia said: "Either it was forced, or there was a last resort, it was difficult to say." ”

Xianghe Jiebi can be said to mourn the misfortune of those women who have fallen into the dust, and she is angry with them, and said angrily: "What is forced? What is the last resort? Some women simply open their own prostitution dens! If the women of Xiangheji want to find a living, they have a lot of places to go. I can't bear it!"

Yun Tianjia shook his head with a wry smile, and had no intention of arguing with Xianghe Jiebi about this issue.

Banning the brothel of the Qinglou is a shocking move to change customs in the Star Soul Continent, but in the other plane where he lived in his previous life, it is very common. Therefore, Yun Tianjia is even more convinced that the ruler of Xianghe and the lord of Lucia are He Tingting, who has come through the soul nine times out of ten.

Everyone walked out of the market, turned right to the south, passed countless large and small workshops and courtyards, and then crossed several pontoon bridges in a row, and the terrain gradually increased.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang talked to him in order to amuse Xianghe, making a fuss along the way, and he had to say a few words of amazement at everything. Then he jumped on a rock on the side of the road, pointed to the southeast, and exclaimed: "Ha! Look! There are so many boats! What a big boat!"

Yuntianjia followed the prestige, and saw that in the southeast distance, in the mist of the water, under the shroud of chaotic smoke, the building ship was towering, covering the sky and the sun, and the sails and masts were standing in a forest, and they were continuous into pieces.

On the shore of the wharf, the terrain is flat and open, the workers are like ants, the cars and horses are like streams, compared to the northwest wharf that just boarded the Xiangheji, I don't know how many times the majesty is magnificent.

Lucia said: "Xiangheji has a unique topography, the northwest water shallow slope is gentle, can be used to dock civilian boats, fishing boats, small boats, the southeast water depth slope is steep, the surface drop is very large, enough to moor the largest sea ship in the world today, it happens to be in the inner lake, can avoid wind and waves, is a natural excellent port, my lord has a far-sighted vision, a little development guidance, over the years, gradually become the world's goods distribution place, the daily throughput is very considerable. As far as I know, only the Dongmu Kingdom and the Crescent Moon Empire each have a seaport in the Star Soul Continent that can match them. ”

Yun Tianjia sighed: "Pity me for closing my eyes and listening, sitting in the well and watching the sky, and I have always regarded Xiangheli as a deserted reed wetland. ”

He vigorously said: "It's not just you, even the county lord thinks that there are no people in this area, and there is no indication on the map." ”

"Actually, you will have this kind of understanding, and that's normal. Originally, the Xianghe Farm did not have such a large scale, and at first it was mainly a gathering of local fishermen, and only occasionally there were sea boats to take shelter from the wind. Later, my lord found that the location of Xiangheji was blessed, so he gathered many residents who had fled to the island, built a harbor, improved the supporting facilities, and after four or five years of hard work, it had today's prosperity. Because of the late rise and the fact that we are mainly targeting overseas, we don't know much about Xiangholi in China. ”

Yun Tianjia said with a smile: "I'm afraid you also have the intention of deliberately confusing the public, maybe you didn't intend to let everyone know about Xiangheli." ”

"Such a big place, so many businessmen, deliberately concealing it cannot be concealed in any way. We just didn't go out of our way to preach it. The later we know about Aroma, the more we can save some unnecessary trouble. Lucia laughed and seemed to admit the fact that he was deliberately blocking the news of Champory's country.

She led everyone for a while, and suddenly became interested, pointed to the courtyard buildings on the side of the road, and introduced: "This Hefeng Yayuan is one of the four academies on the island, and it has more than 100 students; These institutions are free and open to all residents of the island. ”

Yun Tianjia said in confusion: "So who is in charge of these institutions, and where does the operating funds come from?"

Xianghe Jiebi interjected: "Needless to say, Xiangheji docks countless ships every day, and charging a little docking fee for each ship is enough for these institutions to spend." In addition to the library, the medical hall, and the nursing home, Xiangheji also has a political hall, which is equivalent to the yamen outside, and its expenses also come from the berthing fees of merchant ships. ”

Yun Tianjia asked: "With so many departments, just the parking fee is enough, should the shop be taxed, should the business be taxed, and the workshop should be taxed?"

Xianghe said: "Everything has to be taxed, so who still wants to live on the island? Besides, the government hall is jointly governed by the residents of the island, and there is no cost." What's the use of collecting so many taxes? We just need to keep our bills roughly balanced, and we'll be able to get by!"

Yun Tianjia was still puzzled, and said: "In this case, isn't it useless to be so expensive in the Xianghe Collection?

Lucia said with a smile: "Our Xianghe family's expenses are just to earn by ourselves, so why rely on taxes and fees? In fact, the original intention of my family to develop the trade of Xiangheji is just to find a livelihood for the refugees, and not to use it to enrich themselves." And the trivial matters of people's livelihood on the island, she hardly cares about the old man, and most of them are taken care of by my eldest sister. ”
