Chapter 234: Conception (Water)
Other money-making activities are pornography, gambling and drugs.
Lao Zhu of the yellow industry has already done it again, but the model is too simple.
Needless to say, the physical devastation caused by infectious diseases, a series of two, two and three nesting dolls, a simple AIDS can not be overstated.
The other two have been around for a long time.
Gambling houses have a long history of existence, and horse racing is a form of gambling.
The highest-end bets are all on the city.
Gambling in the Qin and Han dynasties was in its infancy, but the state also knew the harm it brought, and began to crack down on gambling, and there was a crime of gambling.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, gambling began to officially enter people's field of vision, mainly led by the emperor, among which Tang Xuanzong and Wu Zetian were the most.
In the Song Dynasty, there was even a female gambler, perhaps because of the low status of women, who lived in a depressive atmosphere for a long time, and developed the habit of drinking, gambling, and lust.
Although there are all five poisons, it is undeniable that the talent of others, and the famous Li Qingzhao is the representative of the Song Dynasty.
However, gambling is too harmful, and it can ruin the family at least and ruin the family at the worst.
Any prescient country will crack down on these things, and the province will end up harming society.
As the so-called "gambling" is one foot high, "forbidden gambling" is one foot higher.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, a new achievement was also made in the prohibition of gambling, that is, gambling was regulated in the form of written law for the first time.
The conviction and punishment of gambling are stipulated in detail in the "Tang Law Discussion".
In the Song Dynasty, the anti-gambling laws became more stringent, and some people even lost their heads because of gambling.
After the Ming Dynasty fixed the capital of Nanjing, Lao Zhu liked to pay private visits to the city, and he believed that he could see different things when he walked into the common people.
Zhu Yuanzhang found that there were many idlers and gamblers inside and outside Nanjing, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and then he decided to deal with corruption with a heavy hand.
How to solve the problem of gambling?
Such a story is recorded in a book called "Jinling Trivia".
"Ming Taizu built a free building, and when he saw people and gamblers, poultry and birds, and wanderers, he was confined upstairs and made them free, and they all starved to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang did this, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to build a house called "Xiaoyao Tower" in the city of Nanjing, this is not an ordinary house, there is nothing in it except for elaborate decoration and gambling equipment.
After the completion of the "Xiaoyao Building", Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to release news outside Nanjing, saying that there were free gambling establishments in the city.
Soon after the news was released, countless gamblers flocked to the building, but after gambling for a while, the gamblers found that the entire "Xiaoyao Building" did not have anything to eat or drink, and at the same time, officers and soldiers were guarding the door, and no one could get out of the "Xiaoyao Building", and as a result, these gamblers were starved to death.
Lao Zhu's measure has formed a powerful deterrent, and such a measure is unique in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign history, and the gambling atmosphere has greatly improved for a while.
In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict again, "All gamblers cut off their wrists." After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he vigorously rectified the gamblers again and dealt with the gamblers as repeat offenders.
But gambling is not forbidden.
The kind of unearned gains, with small and big to attract generations of gamblers, go forward and succeed.
Even in modern times, there are still repeated bans, common specially set up regional casinos, and countless chess and card rooms on the street.
You don't know that on the Internet, on an unknown hill, there may be a casino.
In how to catch, there are still countless gamblers.
As long as the casinos are endless, gamblers will still exist, otherwise no matter how much they are treated, it will be a symptom rather than a cure.
After gambling, the next thing is poison, which also has a long history in China.
In a sense, Wushisan of the Wei and Jin dynasties should be the earliest "drug" in the history of our country, because after taking it, it will cause fever all over the body and be mentally manic, especially like the current stimulant drugs.
Although it has been popular for a while, it is limited to Baume & Mercier, and ordinary people can't afford it, and they don't have this time.
The second is the poppy.
There are two important phases.
The first is the rise of the Silk Road, with frequent exchanges with the outside world, the opium poppy has also appeared on the stage of history.
However, because of the existence of traditional Chinese medicine, most of them are used as medicines, and they have not made much waves.
Then there was the rise of the Maritime Silk Road in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and a large number of such harmful things were introduced into China.
Emperor Wanli was a drug addict.
Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, everyone who has studied a little history knows it.
Foreigners not only absorb a lot of wealth from us, but more importantly, they corrode the bodies of a large number of Chinese people.
The scrawny "smokers", who live like the walking dead, often do whatever it takes to get opium money, resulting in the destruction of their families.
The most intuitive concept embodied in the harm of pornography, gambling and drugs is the destruction of families.
These Zheng Xiong are not ready to do it, including the Qinglou Zheng Xiong set up by Lao Zhu, who has to kill him.
Isn't a happy, well-off society fragrant?
Yellow gambling and drugs went through Zheng Xiong's mind and were left behind.
Although Zheng Xiong can't do this, it is still possible to be a large-scale entertainment city with leisure and fun, which is a relatively fast way to get rich.
And the ten-mile Qinhuai River is the best place.
Unable to think of anything else for the time being, Zheng Xiong focused on transforming the Qinhuai River.
Ten miles of Qin Huai's foundation is good, plus the sixteenth floor set up by Lao Zhu, there is already a bit of a take-off posture at this moment.
But all this has to be changed, and it is necessary to be yellow.
For a whole day, Zheng Xiong was planning the future layout of the Qinhuai River.
After a major change, the layout of the entire Qinhuai River has been changed beyond recognition.
The original buildings are gone, replaced by new structures and dedicated areas.
Shopping areas, dining areas, leisure areas, high-end clubs, entertainment areas, all come into view.
Towards the end of the evening, Zheng Xiong did not finish the design.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day, for a day and a half, that Zheng Xiongfang finished revising.
The re-established drawings are officially released.
On the basis of the original, the layout of the entertainment area is subdivided and refined.
The main focus is on entertainment, leisure, so that every customer feels at home.
How to say it, it is probably a large shopping mall, but the core is an entertainment city, and Zheng Xiong combines the two to form such a product.
Looking at the masterpiece in his hand, Zheng Xiong stretched his waist and nodded with satisfaction.
After all, it is the product of a day and a half of hard work, racking your brains, and just looking at the drawings feels very good.
After that, Zheng Xiong went back.
On the third day, Zheng Xiong took the drawings and boarded the gate of the Ministry of Engineering again.
