After Dressing Up As a Princess, Engaged In Infrastructure Construction

In May, Sizhou.

The wealthy businessman Mr. He was awakened by thunder in the middle of the night, and sat up in fright.

Because the quilt was gone, the wife sleeping beside him also opened her eyes in a daze and complained, "What happened to you? It's just thunder."

She turned over, pulled the quilt over to cover it, and complained, "You, you are still so timid, you are afraid of a thunderbolt."

After she finished speaking, she went back to sleep, leaving Mr. He alone to sit on the edge of the bed, dripping with sweat.

The word "cowardly" went back and forth in his mind, because someone said that to him this morning.

Master He and his wife are local wealthy businessmen in Kongcheng, Sizhou. The reason for this is that since Sizhou returned to the Yu Kingdom, Sizhou has become a major production area for textile raw materials, and many merchants come and go, buying various raw materials from them.

The textile raw materials are silk, cotton and hemp. Of these three, hemp is the most grown here, cotton is the least, and silk is in the middle.

So sometimes there are people who joke that when His Majesty changed their name to Sizhou, he was actually showing mercy. After all, it would not sound good to be called Mazhou.

After the establishment of Sizhou, the officials of the imperial court worked very hard to teach them how to plant, and even sent some agricultural officials down. After they came, they were liked by many old farmers, and they were often invited back to discuss how to grow more hemp and how to raise more silkworms at the same time.

But at the same time, some problems have been exposed before.

For example, in their Kongcheng, there is something that everyone likes to do in private.

Eat marijuana tea.

Hemp is different from other hemp. After this hemp is processed, ground into powder, and made into tea, it will have a feeling of excitement.

Many people like to drink a little every day, and then they can't quit.

But this hemp was not grown on a large scale. Because of the long time, I don't know where the seeds came from. I only know that this hemp was grown by special people and then sold.

The harm of this kind of cannabis tea can also be seen with the naked eye. Mr. He, who was timid since he was a child, dared not. He had never eaten this kind of tea.

And since last year, people in the imperial court found out that this cannabis tea is similar to the opium cigarettes that were banned before, and it needs to be banned immediately. Many shops have been closed and a group of people have been killed. However, there are countermeasures above and policies below. Sizhou has its own private sale of marijuana.

Even, because they learned something called greenhouse planting, they started planting more.

This kind of cannabis tea has always been drank together in private, and the person who drank it became immortal—this was what others told Master He, and he dared not.

Since he was caught eating marijuana tea, he was even more afraid. But recently, he was pulled into a place called Fairy Club by his friends.

The word "club" came from Kyoto, just like men's gyms and women's beauty salons, and clubs are a place to socialize.

Because Mr. He is very active in paying taxes, he is very liked by the government. Recently, he gave a big order to Xuzhou Textile Factory, which attracted the attention of many people.

So, he was exposed in front of people, and his friend was invited by the people of the Fairy Club and took him to the Fairy Club.

Inside, he saw a lot of people he knew or dealt with, and only then did he know that they were all from the club.

Before Mr. He came, he didn't know where this place was at all, but after he came, he realized with hindsight that his friend was from here. Now, because of the appreciation of the imperial court, he has to be drawn in.

He was apprehensive.

When the biggest royal merchant here told him to have a cup of tea, he directly wet his pants, which made everyone laugh. The friend explained while laughing: "He was timid since he was a child."

The emperor didn't ask him to drink this cup of tea for the first time, because he knew that he was timid, so he didn't force him, but took him to the club instead.

Mr. He, a good-natured man, even resents his friends. Doesn't this kill him?

He followed tremblingly, and then saw an even more surprising scene.

It was a few officials of the imperial court, who were drinking tea and having fun with the girls.

Master He: "..."

It was dark before his eyes, and he felt that he really couldn't go back.

His friend took him aside and said, "There are quite a few well-trained women here, do you want one? Although you are in love with Mrs.-in-law, it's okay to come out to play occasionally. Where can a man like you? cowardly?"

He also casually hugged a person who was going to serve inside with tea, and said, "Where's Xiao Wu'er? Why didn't I see her today?"

The little girl lowered her head and said, "Sister Xiao Wu'er is a little uncomfortable today."

The friend touched the little maid's hand and laughed, "Sao hoof, look at the marks on your hand, what, who was kidnapped yesterday?"

The little girl's head lowered even lower.

Master He followed his friend's gaze to look at the little maid's hand. There were many marks on the hand. What he could see were bite marks, whip marks, and traces of rope tightening.

Mr. He couldn't react for a while.

As a man, a man who has experienced love, he naturally knows what it means.

He also naturally knows what this little girl has gone through.

After the people left, Mr. He's limbs stiffened, and he heard his friend muttering, "I'm afraid Xiao Wu'er will be called to serve people again, tsk, I don't know Lianxiang Xiyu, I can't get up today."

Master He murmured and repeated his words: "...Little Wu'er?"

The friend said: "Yes, Xiao Wu'er is the top card here - Lao He, I told you, there are many girls here, you have to enjoy it, in this life, because of your cowardice, you have had a hard life. ."

After he finished speaking, he said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you play dead, there are people watching over here - there are many women who play dead themselves, put on sacks, bind stones, and sink into the Wushui River. Go, you don't know it."

He patted Mr. He on the shoulder and said, "Old He, since you're here, you can't get out. Don't blame me. Either I brought you here or someone else, you can't run away." '

Mr. He understood what he meant. No matter how timid he is, but he can do business, he is not stupid. Mr. He said to think about it, he would be sick when he came back.

He fell into a deep sleep, and now he was awakened by the sound of thunder. He looked at his hand uncertainly, squeezed it, it hurt, and then sighed.

This is real.

He got up lightly and sat on the chair, feeling that he had no strength at all.

When Sizhou was in Xianlu, it did not have jurisdiction over brothel brothels. Things to play in brothel brothels were very complicated. Later, there was a business for girls who were about to get married. Erotic palace pictures were also very popular. At that time, Sizhou made a lot of money by relying on these brothels.

Almost half of the poor girls in Sizhou are destined to go to brothels for others to enjoy at birth. Their ultimate fate is either to be tortured to death, or to become prostitutes.

with no exceptions.

In other states, there may be some people who are willing to buy a brothel girl to be a concubine or a concubine, but not in Sizhou, because they know that there are no clean servants in Sizhou.

Later, Sizhou became Sizhou, and many brothels were banned in accordance with the law. Half of the girls in the brothels were scattered, some were sent to Xuzhou, and some were sent to other places to do things, but some chose to go home. .

This matter also aroused the opposition of many people in Sizhou at that time, because in their opinion, the imperial court was really in charge. Even the poor, even if they thanked Yu for bringing food and other benefits, they also complained.

——Because of their situation in Sizhou, the imperial court has banned the sale of their daughters.

How could the court's hand be so wide? But under the mandatory decree, they have no choice. On the contrary, several women's newspapers wrote letters to Kyoto, praising such things.

Mr. He was busy doing business at the time. There was no water last year, and the production of hemp was very low. If he didn't work hard, he would go bankrupt. But while he was busy doing business, those poor families sold their daughters.

Because he was poor, he sold his daughter.

Because it didn't rain, I became poorer, so I sold my daughter who chose to go home.

The Golden Nest in Sizhou, from the former brothel to the current Immortal Club, is eating the blood of these poor girls.

Master He shook his hands, beat himself hard, and calmed down.

He thought very clearly, he must not drink that cup of tea, nor touch those girls who were bought to train.

However, he also understood the meaning of his friend last night.

If he doesn't agree, he is afraid that his family will be in danger. Why would they take themselves to see those high-ranking officials? Isn't it just to scare him?

Now, he can't even tell whether the officials from Kyoto are good or bad.

Master He closed his eyes, not knowing what to do for a while.

His wife finally woke up at this time, put on her clothes, and asked, "What are you worrying about again? Can't sleep in the middle of the night."

She yawned and sighed: "Tell me about it and see what makes you so worried."

She is so sleepy.

Mr. He was sobbing and crying, snot and tears.

This mother-in-law, he was so restless for the whole family, she even mocked him!

death is imminent.

His wife was taken aback, "What the **** happened to you?"

Mr. He didn't dare to say.

If you don't say it, maybe your wife can still live. If you say it, you can't live.

He cried and said, "You also said that I was scared to death by Lei, and you were still sleeping."

Mrs. He: "...Speak serious things, don't talk nonsense here."

Master He didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say seriously: "The Kingdom of Yu is about to fight Qin Chu, I'm afraid."

After speaking, the more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, crying and screaming.

Mrs. He: "..."

She rolled his eyes at him and scolded, "Virtue."

But I was also worried about him. No matter how timid I was before, I didn't cry like this? But no matter how hard he coaxed, Mr. He didn't say anything, and Mrs. He rolled her eyes helplessly again, and stopped coaxing. In the middle of the night, she still had to sleep.

So I stopped coaxing and said, "Cry now. After crying, drink a cup of tea. The medical journal said that crying like this will cause dehydration."

Mr. He felt that the white eyes were really charming, with an indescribable warmth, so he looked at his wife and felt good about everything, and even felt that he had been busy doing business for so many years, and he didn't spend more time with his wife. that's too regretful.

The next day, he went to his friend's house with a mortal determination, sat in the carriage, and thought of many words in his heart.

As a result, something happened to the carriage on the road. The two carriages collided, and his carriage was knocked to pieces.

Master He: "..."

What, is this the beginning of the murder?

He crawled out of the carriage dizzy, but what he saw were two strangers.

One was older and wore official uniforms, and the other was younger with a sword behind him.

I saw the man dressed in the official residence sighed: "Hey, it's not good to go out."

The younger one wanted to show some prestige and said, "I haven't apologized to our lord, but our lord is General Zhao, the leader of Wenzhou!"

Master He: "..."

etc!

General Wenzhou? Is that the general Wenzhou who went out to fight with General Gu, who likes to peel skins?

His little head began to turn.

His little hand went up.

"My lord, I have a topic for the meeting of the people in March next year, and I want to talk to you about it."

Zhao Shide: "..."

He looked at Mr. He's apparent appearance and sighed in his heart.

He is still on his way, and he hasn't reached the main city of Sizhou yet.
