Chapter 240: There must be competition, there must be compulsion
After listening to Dong Zhuo's words, Li Ru understood.
My father-in-law just wants to temporarily change some of the status quo in the current situation, and turn what was originally a particularly bad situation into a not so bad situation.
This is not a way to do it, and I did think about it before.
sighed lightly in my heart, needless to say, when the time comes, when the brothel opens and begins to accommodate children, it will definitely be criticized by others.
The fact that the lord said that the big family keeps slaves and maids is indeed an unhealthy trend now, because for the imperial court, the more slaves and maids the big family raises, the less population available to the court.
On the other hand, this brothel has some meaning of robbing people with the big families, which is equivalent to moving their interests again, and it seems that there will be no less trouble in the future.
"Wenyou."
Just when Li Ru weighed the pros and cons, Li Ru heard Dong Zhuo call softly.
"My lord."
Dong Zhuo paused and said slowly: "Wen You, what you said just now is actually reasonable. ”
"Dong is not talking about the method of buying children elsewhere, he is saying that there is some truth in your idea, but this method needs to be changed."
"Now the six states of Yongzhou and Sili are accepting displaced people, but in Dong's view, there will definitely be fewer and fewer displaced people in the future."
"So now, we have to think of a way to accommodate more displaced people."
Li Ru pulled his dough and said in a deep voice: "Lord, I don't have enough food." "Now that we are struggling to accept displaced people, it may be very difficult to continue to accept more displaced people."
"Hmm." Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "That's right, it's difficult for us to accept more homeless people, but it's not difficult for some people." ”
"What does the lord mean to let those big families go?!" Li Ru shook his head, "I'm afraid they won't have a reason, even if they are willing, I'm afraid that the homeless people who are accepted will become their hidden households." ”
"So you have to think of a way to get them to volunteer." Dong Zhuo knocked on the coffee table.
In the conference hall, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were silent at the same time, and after half a ring, no one spoke, and it seemed that they were still thinking of countermeasures.
But both of them have no clue.
Tea time passed, "Alas. Dong Zhuo rubbed his brows, "It seems that we can only use the most earthy and effective method." ”
"The most earthy, most effective way?!" Li Ru, who was thinking about it, didn't react for a while, what is the most earthy and effective?
The most earthy?! What does that mean?
"Wen You, just now took in children from a brothel, and talked about the reception of homeless people, which accepts homeless people, and now the imperial court does not have enough food and salary, and it cannot be solved."
"Hmm." Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo paused, "After today, Wen You will find some disobedient families in Yongzhou, exterminate them, and raid the family." ”
???
Extermination, raiding the house?!
Li Ru couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, this is the most earthy and effective method?!
I don't know if it's dirt or not, but it's definitely effective.
The lord is really still the same lord, and there is no change in the slightest.
An understatement solves a lot of problems, and of course brings a lot of problems.
However, as long as it works well, it shouldn't be a big deal, after all, there are no military horses everywhere to go out to fight outside, and the deterrence inside is very strong.
"Whoa."
"Confucianism understood." Li Ru responded, and began to think in his heart which families and heroes were easier to start.
"That's it, let's talk about the brothel that Dong said earlier."
Dong Zhuo's words interrupted Li Ru's train of thought, and the topic returned to before.
"Speaking of the Qing people before, there are Qing people, and there are naturally red people, and this red people are the same as the Qing people, and they naturally have to be able to blow, pull, play, and sing."
At the same time, we must distinguish between the two, and make a difference, so that we will get more money. And there should be gimmicks so that they can be more appealing. ”
"Especially to attract those who have money."
"Open up a separate place in Chang'an City, specializing in brothels to make a living, among the many brothels, if there are one or two different from the others, is it more eye-catching?"
"Make a better yard and make it work."
???
Forced?!
Li Ru understood.
"Dong Mou will make another analogy, if you get a good brothel out, Dong Mou will take Cai Situ and Yang Taiwei to go shopping for a while, will this be worth more than doubled?"
"In that case, wouldn't it cost more money?!"
"In this case, will the court earn more?"
Bring Zeistu?!
Bring Captain Yang?!
My lord, how old are you three combined, and you still go to a brothel?
Is it that your own maids are not fragrant, or are your wives and concubines not fragrant?
Of course, Li Ru didn't dare to say this, but said softly: "My lord, my lord just said that if an official goes to a brothel, he can only go to the Jiaofang Division." ”
Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru like a fool when he heard this.
"Wenyou, when did you become so serious?!"
"Do you want to teach you this?!"
Li Ru was speechless, just looked at Dong Zhuo innocently.
Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru's innocent little eyes and instantly understood.
It's not that Li Ru is serious, it's because Li Ru doesn't know where the standard is, and Dong Zhuo needs to speak.
Dong Zhuo coughed lightly twice, "There is a way to catch thieves and take stolen goods, and catch traitors to take double ......" Before he finished speaking, Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru.
Li Ru had a shy smile on his face, although there were some things that everyone knew what was going on.
The so-called officials can only go to the Department of Teaching Workshops, which is on the surface, and they go to other brothels behind their backs, and there is a high probability that they will turn a blind eye, as long as everyone who doesn't make trouble knows it.
But Li Ru wants to know what Dong Zhuo's attitude is like.
That is, there are some things you understand, but you still have to ask the leader, and after the leader's attitude is put out, you will be more assured.
With the words of the lord.
Steady!
"My lord, Confucianism understands." Li Ru hurriedly saluted.
"Hmm." Dong Zhuo responded, and continued: "At that time, there can be activities in the brothel, such as poetry competitions, selection of oirans or something. ”
"Oiran?!"
"That is, the pillars."
"Count by flowers, whoever votes for more flowers is naturally the Oiran."
Without waiting for Li Ru to continue to ask, Dong Zhuo continued: "Flowers are golden words, and they can be counted with silver money. ”
"How many, how many? Or tens of thousands? ”
"But most of these things are done by young people who are jealous, and we old guys don't get involved."
"Hmm. If there is nothing to do at the border, then I can let my righteous sons come back and participate. ”
"Some of them said, for example, Yang Biao's child, is his name Yang Xiu?"
"Returning to my lord, yes."
"Well, you can find out what kind of woman Yang Xiu likes, and then cultivate one."
"Cai Yong doesn't have an apprentice named Wang Cang, and he can also investigate."
"Then find a way to let them go to a brothel where you go, these two women want to choose an oiran, don't they invest money?!"
"That's still a man?!"
"Young people, you should be willful! One by one, the old-fashioned autumn is not good! ”
"There is competition, you can make a lot of money!"
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo with burning eyes, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
This is definitely not just a matter of opening a brothel to make money, my lord is corrupting the talents of the family.
