Chapter 068 Auction
Lin Zimo is the people who can sit here, all of whom are big people in Pingnan County. Not long ago, this group of grandchildren cried desperately to themselves, but now they have come here with a lot of money. Seeing this situation, he really regretted and only "blackmailed" 100,000 taels of silver. He really thinks it's too cheap for them. After all, he can ask them for more silver.
Thinking of Lin Zimo here, he was determined not to let Wang Fugui go and insisted on peeling off his skin. Because he had only one only son, he escaped the last disaster. He sent a lot of belongings to Lin Zi to show his closeness. However, Lin Zimo didn't have any intention of letting him go. After all, he was short of a large amount of money to do the business in front of him.
Lin Zimo, who put down his chopsticks, casually asked, "What's the name of this brothel?"
"Spring is red and willow green." Wang Pengfei, who knew the details, said, "It's still very rule-abiding here. They regularly pay the right amount of money to the government every month. My brothers and I come here to play, and it's often free.
Lin Zimo, who was strange, didn't mind his subordinates coming to such a place for recreation. Instead, he cared about the money they handed in and said, "Why haven't I seen this money? Did you eat it for me?
"What's small is that I don't have the courage to swallow this large amount of money. For a long time, this amount of money has been handed directly to the county magistrate, and we just strengthen their courage and support the table. Wang Pengfei hurriedly defended himself.
"What is the specific amount of this silver?" Lin Zimo, who tried to find a way to get money, continued to ask.
"I really don't know about this." Wang Pengfei, who had sweated on his forehead, said the truth, "I only know that there was such a thing. As for the specific number, only the old man and the magistrate will know.
Thinking of another financial source, Lin Zimo carefully looked at the decoration and scale here and figured out how much it would be appropriate to collect them? Anyway, he doesn't intend to receive less than Zhang Chi. The current situation is that money is needed both inside and outside the city. Although silver is a good thing, it is used like running water.
"Girls, come out to meet the guests." The old lady lengthen her voice and shouted loudly facing upstairs.
Two, thirty well-dressed prostitutes came out of their rooms one after another. Busy walking downstairs, they smiled and looked for their old customers with their eyes. These bodies smelled of powder, and the cool "girls" quickly focused their eyes on Lin Zimo. After all, his handsome and handsome face was very lethal. Although they are all dusty women, they still like good-looking men.
Many of them walked out to the table where Lin Zimo was. With a calming heart, he glanced at this group of women who showed off in front of him and found that they were all ordinary goods and could not be compared with Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu at all. Many of them are as beautiful as picking lotus. Therefore, he has never been interested in the world.
"Get out of your group of ruined flowers and willows." Wang Pengfei saw that Lin Zimo was indifferent, so he looked unhappy and drove them away, "Don't disturb the master's elegant drinking. If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being rude to you."
The prostitutes who were not eager to leave continued to make all kinds of seductive looks to seduce Lin Zimo, but he did not give them too much reaction. Naturally, the old lady didn't want to see most of the girls here only circle around a table. She didn't want her old customers to blame her, so she quickly came over to order them to accompany other guests.
The pimp drove her girl away, looked over and said, "Who am I so powerful? It turned out to be Wang's catcher. You changed this dress so that I didn't recognize it before. I hope you can forgive me for your neglect.
"You don't give me this sour set." Wang Pengfei urged, "Take out your babies quickly!" So that let's open our eyes and tell if it's really as good as you said?"
The old pimp looked at the crowd and introduced with a smile on her face: "I'm not bragging to you. This time, there are really two good-looking little girl. Ladies and gentlemen, if any of you can take the lead, he will definitely be as happy as a fairy. They are all yellow girls, so you still have to be gentle.
"Oc's it, okay, don't sell melons here and boast about yourself. Let us see the goods quickly." The little perish who couldn't wait shouted at the old mole.
"Oi, I'll let you inspect the goods." The old lady winned at the turtle, and then maintained her professional smile and said, "We'd better follow the old rules. Those who have a high price will get it.
"Don't talk any more. It's not the first time we've come here." An old perish man took a sip of wine and said impatiently.
The two little girl under the age of ten were busy lighting candles, and the room immediately lit up. The turtle took out the first object to be displayed from a specific room. A little girl who looked only thirteen or four years old stood in the middle of the crowd waiting to choose with a frightened expression.
The old lady who came to her picked up her chin with an index finger and smiled, "Look at this little appearance. Is it human? The reserve price is ten taels of silver, plus one taels for each shout.
As soon as her voice fell, someone shouted 'Master, I'll give ten taels' to cooperate with the propaganda. Then, someone immediately shouted 'Eleven Two'. Twelve taels, thirteen taels, fifteen taels... are added all the way. When someone shouted for 30 taels, no one would continue to raise the price.
The happy-faced lady said to the highest bidder, "Congratulations, Mr. Liu, has opened the door for you."
"What are you doing? Hurry up and take out your two good goods to the men." A young voice urged.
"Zhang Dashao, don't worry! Good things always come out in the end. The old lady who twisted her waist and walked a few steps said with a charming smile.
Lin Zimo, sitting next to him, really opened his eyes. After drinking three cup of wine, he did not express a word of emotion. This is what the era I was in was originally like. He can't say that they are illegal. After all, the old pimps hold their own deed of sale. Although he can find an excuse and seal it here, he can't turn this world around. He can only describe these little girls who were sold by his family.
Lin Zimo does not feel that people who buy and sell are morally corrupt. After all, the ancient industry of prostitutes began in the Zhou Dynasty. The survival of this industry for thousands of years has fully proved its rationality. There is always a positive side, but the negative side still exists. Since he is in the Ming Dynasty, all this he sees is a very reasonable social phenomenon.
And the so-called prostitutes are women who have sex with others for the purpose of obtaining economic benefits. In ancient times, there were two kinds of women who provided sexual services, namely prostitutes and prostitutes. The word prostitute is from the woman from Chang, and Chang's original meaning is "street noise", so prostitutes are "street girls" and attract customers in the bustling places of the market. Prostitutes do not have the expertise and skills to please men. Most of them are married or childbearing middle-aged women, commonly known as "pros whoring women". Most of the transaction objects are workers at the bottom of society.
Prostitutes, as the name implies, are young, professionally trained, and have special service skills, such as those who can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, recite and sing, and serve most of them are dignitaries and literati. In addition to providing primitive physical satisfaction, prostitutes can also give guests a sense of spiritual pleasure.
According to the different modes of business, it can be divided into three categories: official prostitutes, who focus on prostitution in brothels managed by the government and pay taxes to the government; private prostitutes who operate privately and therefore do not pay taxes to the government; secret prostitutes, under the condition that the government explicitly prohibits prostitution-prostitution-**.
Spring red willow green does not belong to the category of official prostitution, but to private prostitution. The purpose of sending money to the magistrate is nothing more than to operate openly like an official prostitute. In this way, their profits and safety can be guaranteed. It was not until the middle of the Ming Dynasty that official prostitutes were banned, and since then, prostitutes have been completely privately operated.
At the same time, the Ming Dynasty government strictly prohibited officials from entering and leaving brothels. If the circumstances are serious, they will be punished by the highest punishment of "dismissing their duties". The effect of this punishment is extremely harsh. After all, the hard-won official position is lost in this way, and it has destroyed the future for a lifetime, even worse than killing the perpetrator. However, under normal circumstances, no one will deliberately find fault with this extremely unpleasant and unyasteful thing.
Lin Zimo, who watched coldly, saw one teenage girl after another being sold like goods by an old girl. Wang Qiang, who is lustless, doesn't have much feeling, while Wang Pengfei, who has a strong male hormone secretion, is a little itchy. He did not dare to make trouble according to the human instinct. After all, Lin Zimo has not expressed his attitude.
"Masters, young masters and princes. You have to polish your eyes. This time, the finale is about to appear. It took me a long time to find a good product for you. And the beauty and appearance of these two little girl will never be worse than the thin horse in Yangzhou. The old lady deliberately made a show off and said, "As it is said, it is romantic to die under the peonies and be a ghost. What's more, you don't have to die to be romantic overnight and take the lead.
The turtle, who stood next to her without making a sound, cooperated with her promotion and said, "Even if you spend a lot of money, it's worth it. All the people sitting here are the best. They should know that good things are unattainable.
