"Sister Mulan, there is a strange building in the town. Let's go and see if it's okay?"

Sun Shangxiang suddenly broke in and interrupted Mulan's words.

“That’s not a good place.”

Mulan's cheeks were hot, so she quickly took Sun Shangxiang away.

Sun Shangxiang is still young.

Zhang Hua had no choice but to ask him to build brothels, mainly to increase fiscal revenue and to solve the employment problems of geisha and famous actors in the territory.

In troubled times, recruiting soldiers requires gold, silver, food and grass, the more the better.

Zhang Hua stipulated that brothels in Xia Town were elegant places, with a clean priest, no red priests, and a singing and dancing talent show was held.

No one knows the talent show better than Zhang Hua from later generations.

Li Yu, the late Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu, probably these are talented men who linger in brothels.

The salary Zhang Hua gave them flowed into the county government through the taxes from brothels.

This is almost a perpetual motion machine.

The brothel in Xia Town was completed and specially recruited talented women. They must be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are proficient in everything, and they do not sell their skills. Children from aristocratic families often have to spend a lot of money to have a love for their loved ones.

Xiazhen does have geisha and famous actors from all dynasties. They don’t know how to make a living by other means. The brothel recruits innocent patrons, which gives them a way to survive.

The brothel recruited more than a dozen innocent patrons to take charge, and Xia Town's cultural index has actually increased a lot.

A girl came to the notice board in front of the brothel and saw that the famous actor's age was over 18 years old, which surprised her.

In ancient times, the age of eighteen was already quite young.

"Is this mother really not tolerant? I can do things like chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am young."

"Do you have no family? Why do you have to work in this industry? Although you only take care of the brothel here, you will inevitably encounter powerful people, and you will eventually be unable to escape the clutches of the devil, alas..."

The madam in the brothel saw that this girl looked so pitiful that I couldn't bear to let her jump into the fire pit.

A geisha who sells his skills but not his body, but many things are not necessarily as bright as they appear.

As long as you have power and power, how can a gentleman refuse?

The girl hesitated: "But, apart from that, I have nothing to do and I have used up all my money."

In order to suppress the powerful and forbidden to support the servants, Xia Town has strict restrictions on the number of servants.

This girl's five fingers are not touched by the spring water, so she must not be a servant.

Therefore, brothels are the best way out.

"Rules are rules. Although I sympathize with your circumstances, you cannot break the rules, otherwise the entire brothel will be held."

The madam couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the continuation system implemented in Xia Town.

If there is any problem, more than a dozen people in the brothel will be held in a row. At that time, no one can afford the consequences.

This is also the rigorousness of Han Fei's reform.

The girl couldn't help but despair.

She was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the madam would never let her enter the brothel.

At this time, Zhang Hua, under the escort of several personal soldiers, came to inspect the situation of the newly built brothel.

"What's going on? I didn't set rules. Only the brothels who were over 18 years old?"

Zhang Hua frowned and was dissatisfied with the madam.

When the madam saw that it was the lord Zhang Hua, she was so scared that she lost her soul and quickly apologized: "Sir, this woman repeatedly asked to enter the building, but she never agreed!"

"No rules cannot be achieved. If you violate the laws, do you know the consequences?"

"I know, I know..."

The madam was scared and sweated.

Zhang Hua held the power of life and death in the territory. With just one word from Zhang Hua, Xu Chu, who was not angry and powerful, could kill the madam on the spot.

Zhang Hua's eyes fell on the girl, but he was secretly surprised.

Although this woman is still young, she is a beauty with a willow leaf bent eyebrows and a delicate body. I feel sorry for her, and she has the charm of a woman in the water town of Jiangnan.

"Do you have a name? Family?"

"The little girl Liu Rushi, from Jiaxing, Jiangnan, has no family."

The girl couldn't help but lower her head, looking a little sad, adding a bit of beauty.

Even if it was a brothel, he couldn't help but be surprised. If this girl was well cultivated, she would definitely become a courtesan. I don't know how many romantic scholars would attract and spend a lot of money.

Liu Rushi!

Zhang Hua was even more surprised when he learned the name of the woman.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, in the Jiangnan region, on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, eight talented prostitutes, whose reputations were spread to Qinhuai for ten miles, were known as the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai".

Liu Rushi is one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai and is as famous as Chen Yuanyuan.

Unexpectedly, Liu Rushi was also in Xia Town.

Liu Rushi is different from Mulan.

Liu Rushi has the weak beauty of a woman in Jiangnan, which hurts spring and fall, while Mulan has the heroic appearance of a woman in the north, which fights on the battlefield.

Logically speaking, Sun Shangxiang is also considered a woman from Jiangnan, but Sun Shangxiang is completely different from Liu Rushi. She dances with swords and guns all day long, fighting and killing.

Sun Shangxiang can be regarded as a mudslide among women in Jiangnan and cannot be classified according to common sense.

Since Liu Rushi is one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai, he may have good talent.

So, Zhang Hua considered abducting the young Liu Rushi.

"In the future, you will work directly in the county government office to handle some trivial matters, and the county government will pay their salary every month. How about it?"

"really?"

Liu Rushi was overjoyed.

If you can become a royal musician, you will naturally have a higher status than a gentleman and will be more leisurely and do not have to deal with guests.

The madam quickly said, "This is Lord Zhang Hua who established Xia Town. You are so proud of your words. Why don't you thank me quickly?"

Liu Rushi had beautiful eyes and looked forward to Zhang Hua's establishment of Xia Town, a paradise, which was deeply loved by the people. Liu Rushi often heard it, but he didn't expect that the lord Lord Zhang Hua was so young and was so majestic: "Thank you, sir, sir, if you have any questions, you will never give up."

“…”

Zhang Hua underestimated his charm and directly gained the favor of Liu Rushi, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

"Let me think about where you should be placed."

"The little girl was allowed to live in the county government, so she could take care of the adults."

Liu Rushi mustered up the courage and seemed a little nervous.

With Zhang Hua's identity, it's not that Liu Rushi chose a son-in-law, but that Zhang Hua was choosing others.

Even if you want to become Zhang Hua's maid, it may not be that easy.

“Okay.”

Zhang Hua considered that Mulan had to train troops and could not always eat in the backyard. It would be better to accept Liu Rushi as a maid and take care of Mulan and Sun Shangxiang.

Just so happened that after the administrative wooden house was upgraded to a county government office, several side rooms were added to the backyard, which could be used by Liu Rushi.

When Liu Rushi lived in the backyard of the county government office, Mulan and Sun Shangxiang both expressed strong protest.

Liu Rushi is extremely beautiful, and what he learns is to please men. Mulan and Sun Shangxiang think she is at a disadvantage.

Zhang Hua explained that after learning that Liu Rushi was the maid who took care of the backyard, Mulan and Sun Shangxiang reluctantly accepted Liu Rushi.

Zhang Hua came to the stone tablet of the county government to check Liu Rushi's heroic attributes.
