Chapter 587: Fate and Retribution
Hua Xiang strolled through the streets of the capital, this time back to the Ming Dynasty was instructed by Emperor Taiwu, his duty was to meet Emperor Jiajing as an envoy, to inquire about all aspects of Western Europe, on the other hand, to see the current Ming Dynasty, especially the changes that have taken place in the capital, go deep into the market, and really understand and feel.
The purpose of this is to understand, and the purpose of understanding is to copy the homework.
Of course, for the changes of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao can also learn a lot from Gu Hou, but Gu Hou also floats on the sea all the year round, in fact, for the ever-changing Ming Dynasty, the changes in his bones may not know much, so the members of the mission brought back by Hua Xiang this time must go deep into the people, truly understand all aspects, and then see if they can be copied in Europe......
What Zhu Houzhao admires most in his life is his brother's ability to govern the country, as if Zhu Houwei's mind is always filled with endless whimsical ideas, and when these wonderful ideas are put into practice, the whole world is completely changed for them.
In the Zhengde Dynasty, the poor people of the country, in order to build a leopard house, Zhu Houzhao and the Manchu ministers fought for several months to get two or three hundred thousand taels of silver to repair the leopard house, and finally he was poor and crazy, and he had to release Liu Jin, a vicious dog, to bite the officials all over the world and bruise all over the body.
reused eunuchs, cruelly abused hundreds of officials, and how vicious the literati's pen was, Zhu Houzhao himself knew that he would definitely fall into the notoriety of a ruthless monarch in history.
In the Zhengde Dynasty, the Tatar Dayan Khan knocked on the border countless times, plundered livestock, the people were not counted, the border army was tired, the guards were eroded, and the gate was stored to support the family.
But in the Jiajing Dynasty, all this changed, Zhu Houwei with an incomparably strong will and incomparably huge financial resources, in just a few years to complete the Ming army from the root of the innovation, the reformed Ming army under the equipment of new firearms, burst out of unparalleled strong combat effectiveness!
Coupled with the implementation of military law and military regulations, the Ming army's loyalty to the emperor is unprecedented, and the so-called gate is directly uprooted.
These changes, Zhu Hou felt it personally, and naturally saw it clearly in his eyes, so in Western Europe and in the military country, he completely copied the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and in addition, he held the financial power, as for other powers, even including the right to appoint personnel, he can delegate it, because as long as he pinched these two points, then it is equivalent to holding the knife, once the knife is wielded, it can be reaped wantonly!
A few days ago, the emperor summoned him in the Old Summer Palace, so that he could see how majestic and beautiful the world garden known as the garden of ten thousand gardens was, but this ...... He wasn't going to report it......
Comrade Zhu Houzhao has a history of building a leopard house, if he knew that there was such a world garden in Daming, and there were so many rare birds and beasts in the garden...... If he doesn't come to the Wu Dynasty, he will be called a ghost!
The street in front is very lively, and since Huaxiang is deep into the market, it is necessary to be lively......
The lively place seems to be a store, and Huaxiang has been to a lot of lively places in the past few days, such as lottery stations, such as banks, theaters, and food streets......
Nowadays, the life of the Ming Dynasty, especially the people in the capital, is getting better and better, and there is surplus money in the hand after the days are better, and the silver will naturally promote consumption.
If you say that the Ming Dynasty of the Zhengde Dynasty, what is the most lively in the market, then it must be the art hall and the gambling hall, but ten years after Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing issued an order to rectify the world's gambling halls, and it can't even be said to be rectified, it should be said to be banned!
That is to say, if all gambling halls are closed, if anyone dares to continue to operate the gambling business, once it is verified, they will be severely punished!
Of course, it is almost impossible to cut off the root of this kind of thing, after all, there are countless means that can be targeted and arranged, and the worst can be transferred from the open to the underground, and there is almost no feasibility to cure it.
But the art hall is different, most of the private nature of the Daming Art Museum has gone out of business, and even those that have not closed down are struggling on the verge of closing.
This is not that the Jiajing Dynasty issued a policy to restrict the survival of the art museum, but the current events, the survival of the art hall lies in the girl, the more beautiful and talented girls, the more beautiful and talented girls, the art hall will naturally attract the color embryo and the presence of talents, which is also the foundation of the art museum to become a gold cave.
And where do the girls come from?
There is only one answer, buy!
Buy young girls from an early age, dozens of female dolls from an early age, as long as there are one or two good colors and arts, it will become the pillar of the art museum, and the rest can also replace blood for the new and the old, that is to say, the training and blood exchange of girls is the basis for the survival of the art museum!
Once this foundation is gone, or even broken, then when the old generation of girls in the art gallery lose the market and even become red people, but there is no new Qing Qi people who appear and are sought after, then the decline of the art hall is almost doomed.
The girls in the art hall eat youth rice, and the golden age of doing this business is to put it bluntly, it is sixteen or seventeen years old to twenty-three or four, which is seven or eight years......
The way out sought is nothing more than to redeem oneself with the money earned over the years, or to be favored by the gentry and officials as concubines or outer rooms, why are the girls so keen to sponsor the down-and-out scholars, to put it bluntly, it is just to cast a net, hoping to catch a fish with a conscience.
It's a pity that most of the negative people are readers......
The outdated girl is gone, the new generation has not come up, and the decline of the art hall is naturally only a matter of time.
And the reason for this situation is that the Jiajing Dynasty severely cracked down on human trafficking, the traffickers were caught, and Ling Chi had to sit together, but it was not enough to put an end to it, so the holy decree was that all buyers who bought human beings were guilty of the same crime!
Art galleries rely on buying people......
There are hundreds of art galleries in the whole world, and even after the owner behind the scenes is wiped out, who dares to do this kind of headless business!
Buying and selling, there will be sellers when there is a buyer's market, and the buyer's market is afraid of being killed, so it will sell a fart......
This is the root cause, almost like a way to eradicate the human trafficker market, and Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty used a bloody butcher's knife to tell those human traffickers in the world who want to touch his bottom line......
What is the end! What is retribution!
