Chapter 15 Heaven and Earth

(Life and death are inseparable and endlessly_2008-2018                                                    

Tongzhi was really helpless. He never expected that an emperor would fall into a state of pennilessness.

In the future, I have to buy guns and equipment, which is a considerable expense. I can’t ask the officials for it. Although this group of people is definitely very rich, I can’t touch them now.

There were many famous businessmen in the late Qing Dynasty, such as Hu Xueyan, Qiao Zhiyong, etc., and it was unlikely that they would borrow money.

It is because they do not have military power, and the Qing Dynasty interest groups represented by Cixi are not so easy to solve.

It seems that I have to get some money. The Ministry of Revenue should still have some money, but it must be approved by Cixi before it can be allocated. What reason do I have to ask about the export?

Tongzhi had no talent for doing business, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be a small security guard after he was discharged from the army in his previous life.

"Lao Wang, what do you think is the best way to make money now?" Tongzhi asked casually, and he did not expect to get constructive ideas.

"Your Majesty, the most profitable person is of course the big smoke," said the prince.

"Big smoke? Is it opium?" Tongzhi said with a frown.

"That is, at present, from the entire capital and even the country, from the Empress Dowager, the court ministers, the army, and ordinary people, they almost never leave their hands."

"We are not implementing a smoking ban? Why are there so many people smoking big cigarettes?"

When Tongzhi was in school, he heard about the removal of cigarettes in Humen. Britain opened the door to China with opium.

It would be fine if they were rich and nobles. Some people at the bottom were addicted to drugs and were willing to sell their wives and children in exchange for drug money, which led to the destruction of their families.

The army smoked smoke and was listless and thin, so how could it defend its country?

"The ban on smoking was implemented, but this order was only written on paper and not implemented. The entire court was accustomed to it." Eunuch Wang said truthfully.

"Oh, I understand." Tongzhi sat in the chair with some weakness, supporting his jaw with his hands.

Drugs not only poison a person's body, mind and family, but also a disaster for a country.

"When I have the strength, I must implement a smoking ban nationwide. The people are the foundation of the country." Tongzhi made up his mind secretly.

"Apart from opium, what else is the easiest thing to make money?" Tongzhi shook his head and didn't think about it, but he would solve the problem of his pocket first.

After all, the Long March had just taken half a step before encountering difficulties.

"This..." Eunuch Wang pondered for a while, and his eyes suddenly rolled, and he smiled and said, "Prince, besides big smoke, the most profitable place is still a romantic place. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk

"Hey, yes, why did I forget this?" Tongzhi almost jumped up happily. No matter what era it was, the lady would always exist.

Although it was banned in modern times, it was a legal business at that time.

"Your Majesty, you won't think... If this is spread, the impact will be too bad." Eunuch Wang's face was full of darkness.

The emperor was thinking about something and was preparing to open a brothel.

"Ahem, do you know which brothels are the most popular now?" Tongzhi was too lazy to explain and continued to ask.

"The best business is the first-class brothels in the Eight Great Hutongs, Baihualou and Cuiliufang."

"How about that Mizui Tower?" I don't know if Tongzhi had been to the other three stores before, but so far, Tongzhi has only been to this store, and there are his own women in it.

"The emperor, the Mizui Tower is privately owned by the people, while the other three families were opened by Prince Gong. They were suppressed and their business was deteriorating."

"Okay, then choose Mizui Tower. You go out of the palace and call the boss out. I'll talk to him. Don't reveal my identity first, just say that someone is talking to him about business."

Although "Zha" Eunuch Wang was confused, he did not ask much.

At night, Tongzhi, accompanied by Chen Guifen and other guards, left the palace again.

Location: Deluxe Suite on the fifth floor of Mizui Tower.

"Are you the boss of Mizui Tower Shao Xuejian?" Tongzhi pushed open the private room and walked straight to the main seat, looking at the boss who is called pimp in modern times.

"That's right, I don't know what you call me?" Shao Xuejian had seen Tongzhi before, but he didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, Tongzhi was at most a young master from which family. Seeing that Tongzhi sat directly in the middle and didn't even say hello to him, he was a little displeased.

"Haha" Tongzhi was not in a hurry to answer. He took a sip of tea and slowly put it down before looking at Shao Xuejian: "I guess Mizui Tower was suppressed, and the government often made excuses to come over to check. The business seemed to be quite good on the surface, but in fact it was almost impossible to hold on."

"All nonsense is talking, our business in Mizuilou is booming, and the orioles are so popular. Don't blame me for suing the government." Although Shao Xuejian is nearly 60 years old, he is still energetic. When he heard Tongzhi's words, he was furious.

"Boss, don't worry, listen to me finish it first." Tongzhi said lightly.

Seeing Shao Xuejian's eyes dodging, he also touched his nose with his hands. Although he looked confident, these small details had already betrayed him.

"If you have something to say, if it weren't for Xiaoling's face, you would have driven you out long ago." Shao Xuejian said impatiently.

"Is that?" Tongzhi had been an emperor for a while, and he also had the temperament of a superior. He looked at Shao Xuejian, ignored what he said just now, and said lightly: "If I said that there would never be any government inspections in the future, and no one would dare to make trouble?"

"What?" As Shao Xuejian's low voice was heard, the quilt in his hand trembled and fell to the ground.

"Impossible, the backstage of those three families is in the palace, and they are the big shots who can speak to the current Empress Dowager. Even if you are well-in-law, you don't have such skills." Shao Xuejian was just in a daze for a moment, and then shook his head quickly, obviously unable to believe it.

Tongzhi did not refute, but only took out a golden token from his waist, with four big characters engraved on it - Jiuwu Supreme.

"If you see this token, you will not kneel down." The prince suddenly shouted, frightened Shao Xuejian, who was already frightened, and fell to the ground.

"Get up."

Shao Xuejian stood up, dared not continue to sit down, put away the initial contempt and became respectful.

"There are three conditions. If you agree, we will leave the security here in the future." Tongzhi didn't want to use force to rob. At least this boss and the boss's wife are not evil people, and they treat their lover Xiaochang very well.

Shao Xuejian nodded without thinking. Even if he asked him to give up the entire Mizui Tower, he would not dare to say no. Compared with money, life must be important.

"You read it first." Tongzhi took out a few notes from his cuff, and the guards next to him immediately passed it to Shao Xuejian.

Without waiting for the boss of Mizui Tower to reply, seeing that he was still carefully looking at the contents on the note, Tongzhi had already taken the people away from Mizui Tower.

"Your Majesty, aren't you staying here tonight?" Seeing Tongzhi stepping into the carriage and preparing to leave, Eunuch Wang looked at Mizui Tower with some reluctance.

This dead eunuch, why is it so lustful when he loses his lower body? It’s not that he hasn’t cut it cleanly.

Tongzhi glared at Eunuch Wang: "There are opportunities in the future, but today I won't."

Tongzhi believed that Shao Xuejian would do the content on the paper, and did not dare not do it.

"I don't believe it anymore. With the routine of modern club nightclubs, I will not attract those young men who are looking for fresh and exciting."

Today I don’t want anything, I hope Wenchuan can build better and better.

I didn’t memorize all the exams today, and didn’t know what I did.

I will come back to write immediately after the exam, so I will make up for it if the update is late.
