Chapter 404: The cheap civil servant, the business-savvy Zhu Yousong

At this time, other brothel women who refused to leave were also killed by Yuan Keli's guards and servants in the mansion.

Liu Xiang'er was so scared that she sat on the ground and screamed: "Ah!"

The sound is very sharp.

For a moment, Liu Xianger shouted: "Yuan Fu, please spare me! This is all the masters and husbands asked us to come! I accepted the arrangement of the court, that I am willing to be a regular couple! Woo woo!"

As he said that, Liu Xiang'er turned around and ran outside.

At this time, Liu Xianger recognized Chen Mingxia, who had vowed her to make a vow.

So, Liu Xiang'er gritted her teeth and used all her last strength to run towards Chen Mingxia, shouting loudly, "Chen Lang! Chen Lang save me!"

When Chen Mingxia saw Yuan Keli's guard behind him holding a bloody knife, he was very quick to kill people. He was also scared, afraid that he would have something to do with brothel women like Liu Xianger, so he was killed because of this.

So, Chen Mingxia pushed Liu Xiang'er away and rushed towards her: "Get out! Bitch! My surname is not Chen!"

Then, Chen Mingxia hurriedly ran away from here, so that after someone knocked off the scarf on her head, she was too lazy to pick it up.

His friend Li Sen ran away first.

After Liu Xiang'er was pushed to the ground, she was not killed again.

Because when Yuan Keli saw most of the people retreat, he also asked his guards and servants to retreat. After all, these people were not Tartars, so he didn't want to kill them all, but just borrowed a few heads to scare them first.

Seeing this, Bi Ziyan couldn't help but shake his head: "I'm not listening to your kind words. Now Yuan Fu has taken action, so be satisfied!"

On this side, Zhu Yanxi, the Imperial College Priest, was still standing there.

"These are all beautiful beauties with snow-skinned skin and moon!"

"Who is not charming, like a fairy!"

"It's a pity that Yuan Suizhou didn't know how to be merciful and cherished the jade, and he killed them all. He was simply a butcher!"

Seeing all this, Zhu Yanxi burst into tears and cried in his heart. He even took a look at Lan Lan, who had just been dragged away by the Yuan family slaves.

Because of this glance, Zhu Yanxi couldn't help it anymore. He pointed at Yuan Keli's back, which had already left, and shouted: "Butcher! The surname of Yuan, you butcher!"

Yuan Keli looked back at him.

Zhu Yanxi immediately closed her mouth, and suddenly felt a chill on her back, and she thought to herself: "He won't kill me, right!"

Zhu Yanxi hurriedly bowed and forced out a smile that was even worse than crying: "Yuan Fu! Why did he turn around? But what do you want to teach his subordinates?"

Yuan Kelize also laughed and asked, "Mr. Zhu, were you calling me just now?"

"ah!"

Zhu Yanxi responded as if stupid, and then said, "I'm going to hear me, what is Yuan Fu talking about!"

Yuan Keli bowed and left.

The scene that happened just now was not disturbing to Yuan Keli himself.

Because although he was a civil servant who commanded the army in Liaodong, he was the most cruel to the Donglu in various strategies. As long as he wins, he will always slaughter the Donglu village and destroy the Guo.

Therefore, the Donglu had long called him Yuan Butcher, and he was hated by Xiong Tingbi, who was also nicknamed "Xiongmanzi" by Donglu.

Even in the original history, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, he hated him for his hatred when he was studying the "History of Ming Dynasty", he did not write a biography for him who had served as a minister, and even the documents were destroyed. Later generations only found epitaphs related to Yuan Keli.

"Give me a gift to Yuanfu!"

Zhu Yanxi bowed to Yuan Keli a little and said goodbye, fearing that this small mistake would annoy Yuan Keli.

After all, he is also afraid of death.

...

Next, brothels in the capital had to stop opening and were forced to switch careers to do opera or acrobatics. The lifelike arts of opera and acrobatics naturally cannot make customers spend money as easily as brothel business. These require a lot of audiences to have a large amount of income.

After these brothels changed careers, they had to start serving the entertainment needs of the general public, not just pleased literati and scholars, but did not keep going up the class like before, so that ordinary people could not experience the spiritual nourishment brought by literature and art.

The people are naturally very happy.

Although the income of powerful and noble gentry is not as obvious as before due to internal reforms, the income of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty is now very obvious.

Therefore, the people are now willing to spend some money to watch operas and listen to books.

Therefore, brothel owners who change their careers to entertain the public instead of pleasing the elite have risen again.

The powerful and noble gentry were naturally very dissatisfied with this, and they also despised some brothels who started to entertain the public. They felt that these people had betrayed them, and even said that these people were inferior.

Now, the most dissatisfied with the powerful and powerful gentry is Yuan Keli.

After all, Yuan Keli had to engage in new commercial taxation first and then ban the opening of brothels, which completely offended them.

Even the royal family hated him because of his killing of the prince.

Only the king of Hirado, Zhu Yousong, had no time to complain about Yuan Keli because he discovered a business opportunity. He ordered his devotional official, the so-called housekeeper, and said: "Take half of the silver coins stored in the mansion, and immediately go to Nagasaki to open a brothel, choose the best Japanese girl in the local area. After the establishment, go to Jiangnan to invite a few Jiangnan literati to Beijing for publicity. Now that Mr. Yuan does this, he will undoubtedly force the large-scale brothel business of my Ming Dynasty to the overseas special zone of my Ming Dynasty. We have to go to these places first to make a fortune!"

As Zhu Yousong said, he ordered the other side of his devotional official: "Take the other half of the silver coins stored in the mansion, go to the Shipbuilding Bureau to buy some big ships, go to the Qinhuai River in Nanjing to find someone to build these big ships more gorgeously, hire some retired old sailors, organize a shipping team, and then take charge of picking up the high-ranking officials and nobles from China and Earth to enjoy! If you don't have enough money, go to the Ming Bank to borrow."

...

"Your Majesty, the promotion of the Commercial Taxation in Shuntian Prefecture is now smooth. Because everyone's attention is to the ban on brothel business, the voices against the new commercial taxation have been suppressed by the voices against the ban on brothels and other businesses. However, because Yuan Fu killed some people on the grounds that some brothel women resisted the order, they did not dare to do anything. They were just now there are many people who secretly scolded Yuan Fu, even more than Mr. Fang Wenzheng back then!"

Wei Zhongxian reported to Zhu Youxiao here.

Because Fang Congzhe was given the posthumous title of Wen Zheng by Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian called him Fang Wen Zheng Gong.

In order to let the civil officials work hard for him, he naturally acted generously and gave Wen Zheng directly to the posthumous title that civil officials care about the most.

"But are there any scoldings? Especially among the royal nobles."

Zhu Youxiao asked.

"There is one, His Highness Hirado. I was about to report to you that he suddenly sent someone to take a lot of wealth to Nagasaki. In addition, he also planned to buy a boat from the Shipbuilding Bureau and set up a fleet to prepare for picking up people from Middle-earth to Nagasaki in the future. For this reason, he also planned to buy a boat and go to the Qinhuai River in Jiangnan to build a large flower boat. The boat was decorated with extravagant enough to prevent the boat rider from losing his identity."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed: "He is a keen person!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Last time you reported to me that you found out that you had a detailed work of inciting you as a servant. Now, what can you find out?"

Wei Zhongxian replied: "I asked someone to secretly investigate in the mansion, for fear of being exposed, so after using Wuxiang, I also examined it."

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked: "Who is the person behind the scenes?"

Wei Zhongxian suddenly replied in a low voice: "It's the assistant minister in the Political Affairs Hall."
