Chapter 212 Mr. Jia, what do you want to talk about
Qinyuanju.
The largest brothel in Chengdu with the best decoration and the most girls.
Since the Jinchuan War, all walks of life in Chengdu have become prosperous because of the war, and the population has also increased.
The Qing Dynasty only officially occupied Sichuan in the 16th year of Shunzhi. The repeated battles with the Ming army for more than ten years before that resulted in the population of Sichuan being only 80,000, and there was no human habitation for hundreds of miles.
According to the official annals, there were only a few dozen households in Chengdu at that time. The grass in the city grew taller than people. When there was any movement, there were pheasants and hares everywhere. Thirteen tigers passed by the south gate wall in one day.
After more than a hundred years, the population of Sichuan Province has recovered to tens of millions, and the number of residents in Chengdu has reached more than 600,000. It has become prosperous again and lives up to its reputation as a land of abundance.
But when it comes to when Chengdu became prosperous, the older generation will definitely say that it was when the imperial court came to suppress the rebellion.
Why is it that when there is rebellion in Jinchuan next door, the city of Chengdu is more prosperous than when there was no rebellion?
The answer is very simple. The army to quell the chaos is made up of living people. As long as they are human beings, food, clothing, shelter, food, drink, and toilet, all that is money.
When there is money, there is demand.
What are the needs?
economy.
If you want people to live a good life, the economy must be good.
In order to let Chengdu people have more coins in their pockets and more pieces of meat in their bowls, Jia Liu specially came to Qinyuanju to contribute to local economic development.
Of course, in addition to contributing to the local economy, the main purpose of this trip is to recruit a group of female staff for the Xiaozhai Guild Hall, which is about to be completed.
In order not to disturb the local area, Jatulu came quietly without making any fanfare.
But for safety reasons, dozens of Sauron men with swords and bows still stood at the door of Qinyuan Residence.
Mr. Tulu has reserved the place for today, and no one else is allowed to enter.
But there are always a few blind and dissatisfied Eight Banners men at the door, such as Shu Lun, the son of Shu Jing'an, the deputy commander of the Xianghuang Banner stationed in Chengdu.
Chengdu Mancheng is a city-within-a-city specially built after the San Francisco Rebellion was put down. Since it is located on the site of Shaocheng built by Qin Zhangyi during the Warring States Period, the Han people in the city also called Mancheng Shaocheng.
However, the imperial court did not set up a garrison general in Chengdu. The affairs of the whole city were handled by Shu Jing'an, the deputy governor. It is said that the imperial court was considering adding additional Chengdu generals. If confirmed, they would probably be chosen from the two deputy generals in Dingxi, Feng Shengquan and Mingliang.
.
Shu Lun was Shu Jing'an's son when he was in his thirties, and he was doted on. As a result, like most of the bannermen's children, he spent his days either wandering around or visiting brothels.
Only among the permanent banner-han official positions in Sichuan, the governor is first, the governor is second, and Shu Jing'an, the deputy commander of the eight-banner garrison, is third, half a step higher than the chief envoy.
As the third-in-command of a province, the young master also developed the bad habits of a disciple of the Eight Banners in the capital. It is easy to imagine what kind of virtue this Shu Lun has.
Mr. Shu is also an old customer of Qinyuanju. He is usually generous and always pays attention to everything he does. Today is his twenty-third birthday. He happily brought his friends to spend money, but he was beaten by a bunch of people.
The Sauron barbarian is blocking the door. No matter how hard he says, no one will let him in. Mr. Shu will definitely go crazy.
Since Master Jia ordered not to conflict with the local government, let alone bully others, Deb, the captain in charge of security, pointed to the third floor and signaled Mr. Shu to take a closer look before deciding whether to continue making trouble here.
"what?"
Shu Lun raised his head and looked towards the third floor. There was nothing beside the window on the third floor except an official hat with two pheasant feathers stuck in it. He couldn't help but get angry. With a wave of his hand, a group of bannermen's children who usually followed him followed him.
The house slave rushed in forcefully.
No one is afraid
In the building, Jia Tulu was talking to Chairman Li.
President Li entered quietly through the back door. President Li was very unhappy that Jatulu invited him to such a place with fireworks.
But after entering the building, the atmosphere of flirtatious talk and flowers made the chairman couldn't help chatting like a teenager. Although he didn't hug me left and right, he would raise his eyes from time to time when he was sitting there talking, and look at the face of the girl who was brought in from time to time.
Take a look at your upper body, chest, and buttocks.
This isn't lust, it's pure appreciation.
"next batch!"
After Yang Zhi crossed his legs and took note of the girls he liked, he signaled the girls who were not chosen by him to each take a bag of broken silver from the table and leave.
The chosen one sat aside to drink tea and chat.
The next group of girls came in quickly under the organization of the madam. When the madam was about to introduce her, President Li suddenly pointed at a girl who had just left and said, "The one just now was pretty good. Why didn't you stay?"
"Which one is the president talking about?"
Jia Liu turned around curiously.
"It's that, that"
The president suddenly realized something, sat down, picked up the tea bowl to calm down, and said: "Did you just say that you gave the emperor a secret code to expose someone in the army who collaborated with the enemy?"
"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is an unforgivable crime. I just don't know about this kind of thing. If I don't report it to the emperor, I will be sorry for the emperor, I will be sorry for the people, and I will be sorry for the dead soldiers."
Jia Liu was very angry. As he was talking, there was a noise outside, as if someone had a conflict with Sauron's soldiers.
He couldn't help but frown and asked Yang Yuchun to go down and see what was going on?
After a while, Yang Yuchun led Deb up, saying that a group of bannermen's children insisted on breaking in despite persuasion.
"Didn't they see my official hat?"
Jia Liu pointed toward the window. He was sitting on a chair like a humanoid, wearing Jia Tulu's double-eyed flower feather crown on his head.
"I pointed it out to him, but this person doesn't seem to know what the flowers in his eyes mean."
Deb was also in a dilemma. If the adults had not told him not to conflict with others, he would have asked his men to beat away the bannermen's children.
"If you can't handle such a small thing, how can you do big things with me in the future?"
Jia Liu was angry that Deb and the others couldn't do things well, and he was angry that he had secured the place according to market rules. Those bannermen sons couldn't respect the power of money and come back for prostitution tomorrow?
"My lord, drink tea first. I'll go down and drive the people away."
It's not a piece of cake for a dignified imperial guard to shock a few indifferent bannermen, nor is it such a vulgar thing as jealousy.
Teng Teng went downstairs.
The president found it interesting and stood at the stairs with a tea bowl, waiting to watch the excitement.
In the lobby, a group of bannermen's children and domestic slaves were "rushing" against the human wall formed by Sauron's soldiers.
Due to Master Jia's strict order, Sauron's soldiers strictly implemented the order that the military and civilians should not conflict.
"Don't be presumptuous!"
Jia Liu flicked his sleeves and stepped forward with a calm face: "I am Wu Neng Yibatulu, and I am the first-class imperial guard Jia Jia Shikai. You can leave quickly. I will not care about you."
"Don't care about us?"
The bannermen's children were not shocked at all by Jia Jia. The leader, Shu Lun, was happy: "Is this Jia Jia who doesn't know how the Qing Dynasty Code is written?"
Jia Liu was stunned.
"In the laws of the Qing Dynasty, any civil or military official who sleeps with a prostitute will be deemed to be guilty of dirty behavior and will be punished by having a sixty stick and dismissed from his post. If there are many people sleeping together, the number of the shackles will be three months and the stick will be a hundred. The feathers on his crown will be removed and handed over to the Ministry for discussion."
Shu Lun looked confident, "Master Jia Jia, do you want to talk to the court or to us?"
""
Jia Liu was also happy. This talented person actually knew the laws of the Qing Dynasty.
Yes, admit defeat.
How could a man as big as him compete with a bunch of young guys? I thought it would be better to let the president come forward to resolve this matter. I turned around and looked upstairs, but I was stunned. Where was the governor who was lying on the railing?
