The prostitute industry appeared earlier because food and sex are human nature. Since ancient times, there will be markets when there is demand. The word "wandering girl" in the Book of Songs is said to be used to describe prostitutes.

in history Guan Zhong was the founder of the hegemony of Qi Huangong. He brought economic prosperity to Qi and made Qi the leader of the vassal state. With his assistance, Duke Huangong became one of the Five Hegemons of Spring and Autumn .

As the most famous prime minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, he became a role model for many politicians in later generations. But under the glory of this politician, he also hides another identity - the founder of the brothel. This episode will lead everyone to the other side of Guan Zhong.

1. To carry out economic construction, establish the three hundred female doors

prostitutes. This industry appeared earlier because food and sex are human nature. Since ancient times, there will be markets when there is demand. The term "wandering girl" in " Book of Songs " is said to be used to describe prostitutes. Testifying in black and white, it is obviously an ancient profession.

They are good at dressing, singing and dancing, and are good at charming skills. For money, they can not only sell their skills, but also sell their bodies, and travel long distances to serve.

However, at this time, prostitutes are not licensed, cannot be listed for business, and there is no fixed workplace.

However, just when they were confused and confused and their lives were confused, Guan Zhong appeared with the brothel! He truly made prostitutes appear openly in people's vision, becoming a legal money-making business, and thus formed a unique business and promoted the construction of related industries in the red light district. Bars, catering, massage and casinos came into being, creating a one-stop service for food, drink, gambling, and gambling that is popular in all cities.

According to historical records, Guan Zhong's invention of a brothel was also his new reform measure. This romantic place was named "Nulu", and the Nulu300 was established as soon as it was launched.

But why did he set up so many brothels? Of course, there is his own reason. The core of everything Guan Zhong does is to make money. The purpose is to increase national income and improve national comprehensive strength.

And Guan Zhong has implemented various reform measures in Qi State, and the money flows into his pockets. But it is still a bit far away from Guan Zhong's goal, because Guan Zhong's ultimate setting is not to have money, but to use hegemony to stabilize the money.

So to dominate the world, you must maintain a strong army. To put it bluntly, you still need money, a lot of money to be called a master.

It is impossible to increase taxes alone, because you only have so much land and output, unless you force the people to not live. But if this is the case, it will only increase the burden on the people. At that time, officials will force the people to rebel and cause social unrest, which will not be worth the loss.

Do foreign trade ? Qi State is near the sea, and other vassal states need to eat salt and seafood, so they can only import it from Qi State. But selling salt makes money too slowly, so you have to dry salt and transport salt, and you have to go back and forth for several months. What to do with

? As the old saying goes, food, sex and nature are the nature of Guan Zhong started customs and business. Those who travel between Qi were all big businessmen and politicians from all countries, all of whom were rich. In addition, the people were rich, and they were also a consumer group.

So he hurried in to meet Duke Huan of Qi and asked Duke Huan of Qi to select dozens of young and beautiful palace maids. A beautiful small building was built, and all these beautiful women were included. After decoration and training, this national brothel was officially released. The general manager here is called the madam, and the palace maid who picks up guests is called a prostitute. Of course, those who run away from the hall are called big teapots in later generations, and can also be called Turtle Gong.

This brothel was amazing as soon as it opened, and it was immediately crowded with business, and the business was so good that it could not be said. Think about it, those high-ranking officials usually have only a few concubines, and they have never seen such a scene. There are beauties of all kinds standing in front of you, with beautiful women of all colors, and beautiful women, and their eyes are full of flowers. So the business is naturally booming, with endless customers coming and going, and the money flows into the treasury of Qi.

2. Make a chain, make an industry, make a culture

. Guan Zhong, who tasted the sweetness, immediately opened chain stores of all sizes in Qi. Since ancient times, brothels have only recognized money but not people. No matter whether you are an official or a businessman, even if you are just a worker who moves bricks and cooks, you can come in as long as you give money. Once you come in, you are an old man, a Dongguan-style service.

is so good, browsing brothels immediately became a very popular entertainment activity in society at that time. Not only are it suitable for both young and old, but there is no distinction between classes and families. From high-ranking officials to ordinary people, you can come here to enjoy it.

As the saying goes, one industry prospers, all industries prosper, don’t underestimate this small brothel. Its appearance immediately drove the rapid development of many related industrial chains.

Do you think, building a brothel requires building materials; after building, it needs to be decorated, and there must be various exquisite decorations inside, so that the decoration company can make a fortune; plus technicians dress up, silk, satin, and pollen and rouge, people come and go every day, and food, use and wear, how much does it cost?

The brothel has been revived, and there is a large number of people, so no other industry is allowed? In terms of bars, hotels, casinos and commercial streets, how many industries will be driven to prosper? How many employment problems have been solved?

Unexpectedly, many foreigners simply moved to Qiguo directly because they made money and ran to the brothel. Of course, these people are all kinds of people, including those with no inheritance rights, national civil servants, manufacturing, catering, clothing, and all kinds of people. These people effectively pulled GDP, making Qi a prosperous scene.

What's more important is that brothels can place a large number of female criminals' families and female slaves captured. These people's food and clothing will consume a lot of financial resources. This is good. It not only reduces the national strength burden of Qi, but also makes money for the country. It's simply killing several birds with one stone. At the same time, they also rectified the flowing scattered in the fireworks and willow alleys, so that their work will be legalized, recognized and protected by the court, and thus lost their burdens and went into battle lightly.

So, Guan Zhong's move not only made a lot of money for Qi, but also promoted the harmony of the entire society, and the people of Qi lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Next, the most unexpected thing happened. I planted sycamore tree , attracting the golden phoenix.

Countless literati and poets and famous young men heard that there were so many beauties from Qi, they all came to Qi. In this way, Qi naturally had a large number of talents. This is also a manifestation of soft power, but today it has been replaced by culture and art, drama and movies, , pop music, and clothing outfits.

3. There are many famous prostitutes, brothel culture

With the brothel, the technicians in Qi naturally found the organization and no longer had to hide from Tibet, sun and rain, and do business in various strange places. Do you think they can't thank Guan Zhong?

This kind of business naturally has extremely strong vitality. Once it sprouts, it will immediately spread. Not to mention that other vassal states also imitated it, people from later generations even carried it forward and even formed the so-called brothel culture.

Compared to the kind of scene that is full of vulgarity today, brothels in ancient times were much taller. People were playing in culture and art, and poetry and lyrics were filled with them, almost giving a sense of elegance. For example, , the great poet of Tang Dynasty , Du Mu, wrote: "I have been dreaming of Yangzhou for ten years and won the reputation of being a brothel."

He was not ashamed of being in a brothel, and even felt quite proud. There is also . The Song Dynasty . The master of the lyrics in the . Liu Yong . He failed the imperial examination and was too lazy to do it, so he wrote "Fireworks alleys, according to the agreement, the painting barrier. Fortunately, I have a fan of my interest, and I can search for it.And you will lean on the red and green, and you will be romantic and happy all your life. Youth is a reward. I endure the fame and sing in a low voice. "

is not only a literati and poet, big gold chain rich man likes, but also an emperor likes it, such as Song Huizong . An emperor, who is quite tasteful, does not care about the three thousand beauties in the harem, but insists on going to the club.

There are brothels, and there are famous prostitutes. They use their youth, talent and body to write one lingering story after another. For example, Su Xiaoxiao , Li Shishi , Xue Tao, Liang Hongyu, Chen Yuanyuan , Liu Rushi , Dong Xiaowan , Li Xiangjun ... The birth of the eight masters of Qinhuai has pushed brothel culture to the peak of history.

However, all of this is brought by that person. If you don’t forget the well digger when you eat water, you will live a good life, how can we forget this well digger?

"Master, we love you! Thank you for giving us such a wonderful life! "This is the most sincere cry in the hearts of technicians over the past thousand years. They worship Guan Zhong in brothels and call Guan Zhong his ancestor. However, the club now has no culture and worship nothing. At most, Guan Gong, the God of Wealth.

Now you should understand why Guan Zhong is the ancestor of brothels. But Guan Zhong probably didn't expect that the industry he created would not only be promoted by future generations.
