Chapter 2 Cao Cao: That's right, that's what I thought
"Prostitutes are one of the criteria for measuring a city's economic level and population."
Chen Zhou said.
"Why is that?"
Cao Ang still didn't quite understand.
"Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing."
"If a city can provide good prostitution services, doesn't it mean that the people of this city are satisfied with food and clothing, and the economy is quite good?"
"Every time Cao Cao went to a city, or built a city, he would ask about the prostitutes in the city."
"He wants to know the number of prostitutes to understand the livelihood of the people in the city as soon as possible, and to understand how much value this city can bring to him."
Chen Zhou explained unhurriedly.
It was the first time Cao Ang had heard such an opinion about prostitutes.
It was the first time I realized that my father went to prostitution, and there was such a deep meaning.
Cao Ang was stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"Cao Cao's lust is certain, but he will not be completely obsessed with women."
"Xu Shao once commented on Cao Cao, a capable minister who rules the world by a son, and a traitor in troubled times."
"As a traitorous male, Cao Cao will not go to prostitutes specifically for the sake of the refreshment of his lower body, so that he will not even be able to control his lower body."
Chen Zhou said again.
However, this remark was to shock Cao Ang and praise Cao Cao, and he deliberately said this, but in fact, Cao Cao swelled up and really couldn't control his lower body.
In two years, Cao Cao will be in Wancheng and hit the most expensive shot in his life.
Cao Ang suddenly felt that his father, who liked women, was much taller.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren, who were eavesdropping outside, were stunned for a while.
Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao's eyes with a bit of disbelief, and it was the first time he had comprehended this deep meaning.
Cao Cao's heart was directly in a groove!
I really just want to be refreshed and solve my selfish desires, I never thought about it so much, how can this person make up so much content in his brain and raise my image.
Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
But he didn't bother, waiting for Chen Zhou to continue.
After a while.
"Did Childe ever think that what kind of people's livelihood information can prostitutes in a city bring?"
Chen Zhou asked again.
Cao Ang came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and shook his head and said, "Please give me advice." ”
"The only people who go to brothels often are men."
"Among the men, most of them who have the energy to go are young adults."
"If there are many brothels and prostitutes in a city, it means that the prostitution market is large, and the number of young and middle-aged people in the city is also large."
"Cao Cao led his troops to fight, what is the source of the troops?"
"It's these young adults."
As soon as Chen Zhou's words fell, Cao Ang was surprised again.
It turns out that brothels still have such benefits!
Now that the world is in turmoil, his father Cao Cao is leading troops to fight and pacify the world, to pacify the world, in addition to relying on his own heritage and strength, he also needs a steady stream of troops to support Cao Cao to fight.
By knowing the situation of the brothel, you can also learn about the potential source of soldiers in a city, so that you can recruit troops in the future.
It is conducive to their Cao family to fight the world!
"Prostitution is a service industry, and the price is high and high-quality, which means that the city's economy is good, and the people have money and food."
"On the contrary, if the price is low, it means that there are more poor people."
"If there are many prostitutes, but the quality is not high, and there are more ugliness than beauty, it can also mean that there are many poor people."
"If there are few prostitutes, there will be calamity."
"There are many brothels, which also shows that the economy in the city is good, and there are enough young and middle-aged people, which can provide Cao Cao with enough soldiers......"
Chen Zhou explained some other benefits of brothels.
Cao Ang listened, thoughtful.
He also easily understood the meaning.
In places where there are many poor people, they can't eat enough, so they can only sell their wives and daughters, as poor people, no matter how beautiful their wives and daughters are, they are limited, and the resources of beautiful women in ancient times are basically monopolized by the upper-class scholar circles.
Disasters keep coming, better understood.
People are almost dead, not to mention the brothels, there aren't many people in the whole city.
Cao Ang felt that he had grown knowledge!
If it weren't for Mr.'s guidance, he would have ignored such an important place.
Sir is really talented!
Cao Ang admired Chen Zhou more and more.
Cao Cao outside also felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge!
It turns out that in the brothel, you can still see so many doorways.
Although Chen Zhou's behavior made him very confused, but thinking about Chen Zhou's analysis carefully, he thought that the analysis was correct and reasonable, and the brothel did contain a lot of information related to people's livelihood.
No wonder Cao Ang respects this person so much, and wants to apprentice, Cao Cao overheard this, and it can be concluded that this person has some ability, and his insights are also very unique, with these special insights, Cao Ang, who was still a teenager, was shocked at all.
Cao Cao felt regretful, he used to just think about going to be cool, and he ignored so many things, but ......
"That's right, that's what I think, I'm just for the people's livelihood!"
Cao Cao shamelessly took Chen Zhou's analysis for himself.
There is also a valid reason to go to prostitution in the future.
"Big brother, this ......"
Cao Ren flax froze.
No wonder Cao Cao likes to prostitute so much!
It turned out to be for the people's livelihood information in the city.
Cao Ren was even thinking that I would have to prostitute more in the future.
Learn from the big brother.
Look up to the big brother.
Then I can also be like my eldest brother, who knows the people's livelihood well.
"Big brother, this gentleman seems to have some ability!"
Cao Ren lowered his voice and asked softly, "Do we still want to kill him?" ”
"Keep him first!"
Cao Cao also wanted to go in and meet the gentleman, but he was hesitating, listening to the content of their conversation, the gentleman didn't even seem to know Cao Ang's identity, otherwise he wouldn't have called his name directly in front of Cao Ang.
If he rushes in, reveals his identity, and makes the other party have scruples, he won't dare to say a lot of things.
Zhang Miao's subordinates must have seen what they looked like, and they were exposed as soon as they appeared.
Cao Cao temporarily dismissed the idea of going in, and it was more felt like he was eavesdropping outside.
"Childe understands Cao Cao's intentions, right?"
"The brothel is unbearable, but it's not worthless."
"Many people just think that Cao Cao is looking for prostitutes and just wants to satisfy his personal desires, but who can understand Cao Cao's true intentions?"
Chen Zhou's voice sounded in the private room again.
Cao Ang lowered his head in shame, as a son, he didn't understand his father's good intentions, and he complained more than once in front of Mrs. Ding that his father lingered in brothels and didn't care about his family, at this moment, he felt that he was a son of man in vain!
In the future, I must always learn from my father, and I must not lose this great tradition.
Cao Cao felt that Chen Zhou's words had reached his heart.
If Chen Zhou was not Zhang Miao's subordinate, even if he was a death row prisoner with a special status, he would want to invite Chen Zhou back and stay by his side as a subordinate official.
However, it is not possible now, Cao Cao is more inclined to eavesdrop on it, to get more insights from Chen Zhou, and to find out what Chen Zhou's intentions are in doing so.
Is it deliberately approaching Cao Ang, seeking something, or really trying to teach Cao Ang.
If it was the former, Cao Cao sneered.
He suppressed the urge to rush in and eavesdropped quietly.
"I've been taught!"
Cao Ang came out in self-reproach and saluted: "Thank you for your guidance!" ”
Chen Zhou smiled slightly.
"Sir, I have a question."
Cao Ang still came with a question today, and asked: "Zhang Miao and Cao Gong are like brothers, the first time they went to fight Xuzhou, before the battle, Cao Gong also said to Zhang Miao: 'If I don't pay it back, I will go to Yi Mengzhuo'." ”
"Cao Gong is so good to Zhang Miao, why does Zhang Miao still oppose Cao Gong?"
Cao Ang thought about this question for several days, but he still couldn't think of the deep-seated reason, so he could only come to Chen Zhou for advice.
Hearing this, Cao Cao listened more seriously.
