Great Tang princess

Chapter 632 The Premise of Happiness

Li Yuechen looked at Wu Luolan in front of him with bright eyes. He really didn't expect that it was just a random act, but he discovered a top talent.

What she said feels a bit like an idol group in Japan, including regular events, group photos and so on.

This kind of method can be thought of in this era. As long as this woman has a little guidance and has a strong backer behind her, she can definitely become a top talent in revitalizing the economy.

So at this moment, Li Yuechen made a decision that she would be Wu Luolan's angel investor, give her sufficient funds, and build a stage for her to fully display her talents!

Wu Luolan on the opposite side felt a little dry after finishing speaking, and subconsciously picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

The taste of this tea is very good, presumably it should be the top tea in Taiping Tea House.

Although the price is relatively expensive, occasionally some customers will give her some, and they usually cherish it and are reluctant to drink it.

After putting down the teacup, he saw the princess staring at him with burning eyes.

Wu Luolan was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously looked down at herself, then raised her hand to touch her cheek: "Dare to ask Your Highness, slave...what's wrong?"

"No! Well said!"

Li Yuechen smiled slightly, then leaned forward, propped his chin with one hand, looked at her and said, "Are you interested in cooperating with Ben Gong?"

Cooperation?

This word made Wu Luolan feel strange, the dignified princess of a country actually wants to cooperate with a girl from a brothel?Where does this come from?

The most important thing is that this princess has clear eyes, and she does not hide the appreciation revealed in them, which makes her feel flattered.

Although I don't know what the princess likes about me, but the royal princess and myself are supposed to be people from two worlds. What kind of cooperation can there be?

She asked cautiously: "Slave... I don't understand what His Highness means, so please ask Your Highness to clarify."

Li Yuechen nodded slightly: "To put it simply, I will invest money in you to open a brothel, and you will be in charge of the operation..."

"How can this be done? If His Highness needs it, I will naturally follow suit..." Wu Luolan immediately refused.

"Naturally, you have to understand that it doesn't matter if you hire him." Li Yuechen took a sip from his teacup, "I want you to be the manager. To you, making a living by selling jokes is too inferior to your talent. "

There was undisguised affirmation and appreciation in her tone, which made Wu Luolan feel a little dazed.

Although she didn't know the reason, she knew very well that maybe this was the only chance in her life!

As the number one of the brothel, it has become almost instinctive to observe the situation and judge the situation. She took a deep breath, stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thanks to His Highness's wrong love, I am willing to do my best for His Highness!"

"Okay! Bengong will send someone to go with you to get back your deed of prostitution, come back to catch up on lunch, and chat while eating!"

As he said that, Li Yuechen waved his hand to Xiaodong behind him: "Go to the cashier to get some money, and go with her to get back the contract of sale!"

Wu Luolan hurriedly stopped her: "How can I ask His Highness to redeem me? There have been some slaves over the years..."

"Okay, how can you spend your own money doing things for this palace?" Li Yuechen smiled, and then waved his hand: "Go early and come back early!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wu Luolan knelt and kowtowed immediately, and made a big salute.

A woman like her who has already become a top player is a huge cash cow for the brothel, and it is definitely not something that can be let go with a little money.

The boss behind the brothel is often a person with a deep background. She is just a prostitute, and if she wants to redeem herself, she will definitely have to bleed.

Of course, no matter how deep the background of the boss behind the brothel is, it is impossible for him to surpass Princess Taiping.So this matter was easily resolved.

It was almost noon when the two came back, and Li Yuechen was still in the pavilion in the courtyard, reading the book of war with the cool breeze blowing over the pond.

Xiaodong brought Wu Luolan to the pavilion and reported to the princess.

"It's all resolved? Didn't you get slaughtered like a pig?" Li Yuechen asked jokingly.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, that bustard knows the times well! It's at the normal price." Xiaodong replied.

Li Yuechen has always been principled in doing things, and her subordinates also know her preference, so they did not bully others, but gave money according to the normal price.

The background of the princess is only used to ensure that the other party will not open his mouth like a lion.

While talking, Xiaodong stretched out his hands, and handed over Wu Luolan's contract of prostitution.

Li Yuechen stretched out two fingers and pinched it, opened it for a look, then smiled slightly, tore it in half, folded it together and continued to tear it, tearing the contract into a pile of slender pieces in two or three strokes note.

Seeing this scene, Wu Luolan was shocked: "Your Highness, this..."

He rolled the torn pieces of paper into a ball in his hand, and threw it to Xiaodong: "Take it and burn it in a while."

Then he turned his head and smiled at Wu Luolan: "You are not a servant of this palace, but a subordinate, understand?"

Of course she understands!
Urolan's eyes were wide open, which meant that from now on, she was free, no longer a pariah, but a human being.

In the future, it is no longer someone's property, but a real person!
The next moment, she directly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, her originally calm tone revealing an unconcealable cry: "Slave, thank you Your Highness for your great kindness!"

This is indeed a great kindness, so Li Yuechen didn't stop him, and just sat there and accepted her gift, then got up and said: "In the future, in front of this palace, just call yourself a subordinate! Xiaodong, today's lunch, Just use it in this kiosk."

"Here!" Xiaodong agreed, and immediately went to make arrangements.

Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Xizhi get up too, I will tell you about the future plan in detail."

"Yes!" Wu Luolan agreed, stood up and wiped away her tears, and sat down respectfully across from her.

"There are a lot of positive things in your thoughts, but I would like to offer some opinions on this..." Li Yuechen began to talk about his own thoughts.

Because Wu Luolan's set is a bit like an idol model, but when it comes to brothels, this model is difficult to continue.

After all, one of the labels of an idol is purity, regardless of the reality, but at least it is like this on the surface.

But women in places like brothels often have nothing to do with purity, so her ideas still need to be improved.

Li Yuechen's idea is to learn from the Japanese public relations style of accompanying girls, who are responsible for chatting with guests and listening to their complaints.

Then set up a platform in the middle for performances, and at the same time prepare boxes on the second and third floors for guests to massage, rest or have sex here.

To put it simply, it is to learn from future bars and integrate and standardize the entertainment industry.

At the same time, considering that aristocratic women's spending power is not low, women are also treated as a consumer group, not only can receive men, but also women.

These days, it is popular for aristocratic women to keep male pets, but if there is such a place where they can consume and have fun, it should be able to reduce the proportion of male pets at home.

Because in this era, it would be unrealistic to legislate for women to prohibit keeping male pets, so it is better to use this method to make a compromise.

Li Yuechen did not want to establish a steam engine version of the feudal dynasty, so he would not suppress women's social status like other dynasties in history.

As civilization evolves, men and women will always be equal. If women are to be enacted in this era to prohibit women from keeping male pets, then men must also prohibit keeping concubines.

It sounds like a very good policy, but in this era of low birth rate, families have to branch out.

If men were banned from taking concubines at this moment, it is estimated that rebellions would start in most parts of the country tomorrow.

That's why Li Yuechen adopts this method. Entertainment venues receive female consumers, hoping that they can stop raising male pets at home.

On the one hand, it is beneficial to family harmony, and on the other hand, it can also release some men as social labor force.

After all, regardless of male and female public relations, entertainment venues are also considered a job, and the monthly salary is taxed.

Domestic male pets are different. Strictly speaking, they are no different from pets and do not pay taxes.

"But remember one thing, stage performers are not allowed to be forced to accompany guests!" Li Yuechen emphasized here, "There is another way to try to develop, that is, entertainers! People who can support themselves through performing arts."

In this era, it is unrealistic to directly create stars, so it is better to start from the fireworks and willow alleys like brothels.

This is also to give those who don't want to be escorts a different way to make a living.

Nowadays, people in brothels can be roughly divided into two sources.

One is to buy from slave traders, and the other is because of the serious patriarchal thinking in ancient times, some people would sell their daughters to brothels.

Let alone the slave trader, the fact that he sold his daughter is still unresolved in this era.

In this era, there is actually a crime of abduction and trafficking. Abducting a loved one and selling them as slaves is punishable by death, but parents selling children is not counted among them.

Filial piety, on a certain level, represents the absolute control of parents over their children.

Therefore, in this era, it is not illegal for parents to sell their children, and the children born by themselves have the right to dispose of them themselves.

He even said that if someone went to Dali Temple now, saying that their children were not filial.That doesn't even require additional investigation evidence. Dali Temple can directly send someone to arrest his son and choose to imprison him or kill him directly.

Because your father said that you are not filial, you are not filial, no additional evidence is needed.

So what Li Yuechen did was to give these children who were sold to brothels another way out.

I can't choose to be sold by my parents, so if I don't want to accompany the guests, I should learn a skill well, and I can support myself by performing arts in the future.

Even in the brothel, these sold children will be allowed to learn knowledge. If they learn well in the future, they can take part in the imperial examination.

Perhaps this approach is quite inappropriate from the perspective of the future, but this is already the best way in this era.

……

Listening to Li Yuechen's continuous talk about her plans, Wu Luolan couldn't help but look up at this Her Royal Highness, who is now full of legends in the hearts of people all over the country.

These ideas of hers sound too wild and unconstrained, but when you think about it carefully, it is indeed a brand new direction.

Soon, lunch was ready, and Xiaodong brought a few eunuchs with trays to the pavilion with a sumptuous four dishes and one soup, and placed them on the stone table in the middle.

Before Wu Luolan could speak, Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Okay, let's eat first."

"How can a subordinate eat at the same table as His Highness? This is really..."

"Don't worry about that. On weekdays, I and my subordinates eat at the same table. Xiaodong and the others do the same occasionally." Li Yuechen waved her to sit down, "Don't make such a fuss."

Such an answer surprised Wu Luolan. It turns out that this is not a way to buy people's hearts, but is it often done like this?

Turning his head to look at Xiaodong at the side, seeing her nodding slightly in response, he carefully sat down.

Li Yuechen asked while picking up vegetables: "This is what I think at present, if you have any suggestions, please share them together, so as to save you the trouble of changing them in the future."

To be honest, Wu Luolan didn't have any suggestions. Rather, the princess' actions had already overturned her three views, and she still hadn't realized it yet.

However, from today's short meeting, she can also see that this princess really cares about the world and is not someone who acts for her own selfishness.

This made her a little unbelievable, but she couldn't see any acting elements, and suddenly began to doubt, is this His Highness really a person living in the world?
As soon as this idea came out, I saw His Highness casually stuffing the food into his mouth. Although the appearance of the food could not be said to be ugly, it had nothing to do with elegance. It was really down-to-earth.

Wu Luolan thought for a while, and asked the first question after sitting down: "Dare to ask Your Highness, girl from the brothel, how to settle down after getting old and fading?"

After Li Yuechen swallowed the food in his mouth, he took another sip of soup, and then slowly said: "When you are old, if you are willing to leave, you don't need to redeem yourself, you can leave on your own. If you have nowhere to go, learn some skills when you are young , I can still do massage and cupping when I am old... If you really don't have the skills, you can do some work such as serving tea, pouring water and cleaning... If you are old and have nowhere to go, I will arrange people to take care of them to ensure that the old people live in good health and die There is a place to bury!"

Hearing her answer, Wu Luolan stood up again, and saluted respectfully: "This subordinate will walk with me, thank you Your Highness for your kindness!"

In fact, this is a more practical method that Li Yuechen came up with. She wants to raise the level of civilization without shaking the country as much as possible.

Therefore, these people, just like employees, are paid all the wages that should be paid on weekdays, and leave at any time if they want to resign, without any coercive behavior.

In the future, if they are sick and bedridden after old age, young people can also be allowed to take care of them. Even if they are alone in this world, they are guaranteed to have someone to take care of them until their death.

From the perspective of the future, these practices may be really inappropriate, but in this era, it is really quite good to be able to do this.

Li Yuechen didn't want to let some low-level people live a happy life in this era, but at least, he could make their lives a little more stable.

That's right, don't talk about happiness first, as long as you are safe.
