Chapter 412: Sounds Dirty to the Ears!
The population of the Ming Dynasty has always been a mystery, according to the records of the Ming Dynasty, the peak of the population of the Ming Dynasty reached nearly 80 million during the Chenghua years.
Since then, it has been declining, and the work of the imperial court to check the household registration has also become a mere formality, resulting in a situation where the number of households has not increased or decreased for decades.
But if you look at the degree of development of the mountains in the Ming Dynasty at that time, the contradiction between man and land in the Ming Dynasty is actually extremely terrifying.
Millions of displaced people in Huguang and Hakka people in the mountainous areas of southern Gan, these populations are all in the reclamation of the mountains, and they are not compiled by the Ming court.
And this kind of development of mountainous land also shows that the population of the Ming Dynasty should actually be more than 70 million at its peak.
In Qingshan Town, there are almost 40,000 people who are willing to work with their families, which is unimaginable in the coastal area.
It is only in densely populated inland areas that such a scene can be encountered.
Yes, in the agrarian era, there were generally more people in the interior than in the coast, especially in the plains.
Therefore, a Yangtze River is the main artery of the Eastern Qin Dynasty, as long as it penetrates deep enough, the provinces on both sides of the river will continue to supply the population and boost commerce.
The financial war of Eastern Qin can also go deeper into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty along the Yangtze River and expel all the bad currency in the Ming Dynasty.
The feudal dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, in the matter of coinage, was completely powerless to fight back, and was ruthlessly exploited without knowing it.
In a few decades, perhaps the entire Ming Dynasty will have to rely entirely on the coinage of the Eastern Qin Dynasty to survive.
Yan Zheng, who experienced the hegemony of currency, had no inflationary pressure in this era, and was crazy about coinage every year.
Anyway, copper coins can circulate well in the Ming Dynasty, North Korea, Japan, Annam, and Nanyang, which is equivalent to weakening the entire East Asia and fattening the Eastern Qin.
……
More than a month later, the affairs of Qingshan Town were dealt with, and the expatriate cadres of Nanchang Station also officially rushed to Nanchang to take office.
Four men and three women, plus six hired local bookkeepers, twenty miscellaneous men, and twenty strong men.
Among the three girls, there is the pillar of the drama troupe, Zi Yunniang, who was originally Li Fenglai's role in their troupe.
After arriving in Dongqin, she still often put on music, so she simply let her come to Nanchang to show off coquettishness this time.
"I don't think about this Nanchang, but it is also prosperous, although it is not as luxurious as Suzhou, it is also uniquely elegant, it is really worthy of being the place where Mr. Wuliu has lived for a long time!"
After entering the city through the altar gate, Yun Niang's silky face immediately became radiant.
Although the Eastern Qin Dynasty is bizarre, it is too earthy after all, and it is comparable to the heavy buildings and cornices and fireworks in the rich land of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Fenglai also nodded and said: "I'm afraid it's not worse than Yangzhou, such a strong city is rare in the south!" ”
Li Sifu had come to Jiangxi to do business when he was young, and he had more knowledge, he pointed to a high pavilion and said, "Have you seen the half-collapsed attic?" That is the Tengwang Pavilion, where Wang Bo made the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" in the Tang Dynasty. ”
Everyone looked for it, and really saw the half-collapsed Tengwang Pavilion.
In history, King Teng's Pavilion has been burned down many times and collapsed more than a dozen times, each time it can be used to brush up on political achievements.
As long as the superintendent and political envoy leave, then the newly appointed officials will definitely organize the gentry to rebuild the Tengwang Pavilion!
In the Ming Dynasty, Nanchang was indeed a north-south key and a thoroughfare of eight provinces. If you want to control Zhejiang, Fujian, Liangguang and Nanzhili, you must ensure that northern Jiangxi is in hand.
Otherwise, relying on the convenience of the water conservancy of the Ganjiang River, the wealth of the Poyang Lake Plain, and the unique "dustpan" terrain of Jiangxi, which is high in the south and low in the north, can easily divide one side.
Therefore, the number of garrisons and fortified cities in the entire Jiangxi far exceeds that of other provinces, not to mention that Jiangxi has two general troops.
King Ning's rebellion was actually unlucky, and he was born in Nanchang. In history, only Nanchang responded locally, and the rest of the places were fortified according to the city, and finally the chrysanthemum was stabbed.
……
Soon, the group arrived at the destination of the trip.
They were all shocked by the scene in front of them, good guys, the address of this heavenly building on earth is actually on the other side of Yanqing Temple, and there are several Yanlou next to it.
On the opposite side of the quiet place of Buddhism, is the green building?
Isn't that the sound of bells accompanied by singing and dancing, and the "holy monks" in this temple can hold it?
Li Sifu is a little surprised, in Suzhou, Yangzhou, there are also famous prostitutes who have passed their youth and "entered the temple to practice", those nunnery said that it was a worship of the Buddha, in fact, the rich son, the former benefactor, as long as you give money, you can go in to practice.
Buddha Yuan's thing is also left over from the ancients!
However, at a glance, the heavens and the earth made Li Sifu open his eyes slightly.
More than two months ago, Li Fenglai sent people as overseers, and also transported all the items from Eastern Qin one by one.
At this moment, although the signboard is new, the windows are made of transparent glass, and the doors are stained with glass, which is extremely colorful.
There are five concave mirror lampstands near the door, which are used to place kerosene lamps at night to attract people's attention.
The light gauze outside the building is not like the red used in other bright buildings, but the bright purple used in it, which looks quite hazy and ambiguous.
Standing with other beautiful buildings, there is really a sense of unconventionality, presumably at night, the effect will be more obvious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the villain Zhao Qian is polite!" Before entering the building, the connector arranged by King Ning ran out and bowed down.
"You're welcome, I'll have to rely on Brother Zhao a lot in the future!" Li Sifu hurriedly returned the salute, this Zhao Qian looked at it, he was born in the industry, and only this kind of green-skinned scoundrel can help control the field.
Zhao Qian glanced at it, arched his hand towards Li Fenglai and said, "This master, is Li Fenglai Li Shopkeeper?" Rest assured, the owner has already explained everything! ”
It's an eye-catcher! Li Fenglai nodded slightly, but his heart was happy.
When he was the head of the drama troupe, he dreamed of opening a building, and at this moment, the dream is reflected in reality, and it is inevitable that he will be a little proud.
It's just that when Zhao Qian led them into the building and called out about thirty "red people" and three "clear people", Li Fenglai's face twitched.
He glanced at Yun Niang next to him, and only felt that the twenty-two-year-old Yun Niang was a pillar in the drama troupe, and he was afraid that she was also a pillar here.
"Don't call the master yet!" Zhao Qian shouted.
These women saluted in unison, lowered their eyebrows and said, "The concubine has seen the master!" ”
"Good!" Li Fenglai nodded in response, and then arched his hand towards Zhao Qian and said, "Brother Zhao, this ...... This...... Is there a better ......?"
Zhao Qian said with a smile: "It's good to teach the master to know, now I have to buy a few little girls to raise, naturally it doesn't cost much silver!" But it's hard to find a big living person, a big living person who can pick up a big living person! Not to mention the unwillingness of Congliang, even this prostitute in the half-hidden door will not come to hand over the deed to others as a last resort.
As for these people, most of them were deceived by others, lost their bodies after being good, and their money was swept away again, so they had no choice but to go into the building again to eat a bowl of dusty rice. These Qingqi people even wasted a lot of effort to invite them out of the mountain! ”
Li Fenglai smiled secretly, thinking that you are fooling the ghost!
I'm afraid that this group of people and women are all thirty years old, what deceived them out of their money, but it was just a tragic life experience made up by prostitutes, in order to change places and continue to earn this kind of money?
He nodded quietly and said, "So be it! In the future, if you have received a woman, you can send it here, and we will not refuse to come! ”
Zhao Qian smiled: "Don't worry, sir, the entire surrounding area of Nanchang City, we are all clear, we must be attentive to what you order!" ”
Li Fenglai snorted and motioned for Li Sifu to pay the money.
After settling the payment and offering another twenty taels of tea, Zhao Qian handed over the identity deeds of these women.
After Zhao Qian left, Li Fenglai's face immediately changed, and with the cooperation of Yun Niang and the former troupe mates, he checked the details of these women.
What a baffle! It turned out that they were all fished out in the half-closed door, and all the tragic experiences were made up to be sympathized with by Boenke.
These women are old, they can't sell for a price, and they don't want to live a poor life.
On the contrary, it is these "clean people" who are innocent in their backgrounds, and they are determined to only sell their arts and not their bodies, although they are twenty-seven or eighteen, their temperament is still chaste.
They were willing to come to "heaven and earth" for the sake of silver, saying that there was a good scholar outside for him to gain fame.
Li Fenglai didn't have any other kung fu, but he had been in charge of the troupe, so he naturally brought that set of rules.
It's a pity that under the supervision of the rest of the "expatriate cadres", he didn't dare to play abusive "training", and he could only be fined money if he didn't follow the rules.
……
The next day, Li Fenglai began to teach the secret skills of the Red Lady, and cooperated with the things sent by Shangdong Qin, so that these dusty women had the urge to not want to do it for the first time.
There are all kinds of tricks, even if they are already prostitutes, they are a little ashamed and unwilling to comply.
Some of the so-called demands even sound like they feel dirty and insulting to them.
Fortunately, the silver was enough, and this group of red men also learned with twists and turns.
However, these three Qingqi people can't put down this new instrument, they have a crisp singing voice, and they are also proficient in music, and a little practice is a mastery.
Of course, the pillar is still Yun Niang.
When she was a play, she thought that one day she would be able to enter the building and be in the spotlight.
After she entered the building, she finally realized her dream of becoming a famous prostitute Oiran and began to put up the score of the first card.
Nanchang Station opened in this magic......
