It is not difficult to go to Qiongzhou in Guangzhou. Before Australians entered Guangzhou, Dabo Shipping had a font size at Tianzi Terminal. Every few days, there were shuttles between Linggao and Guangzhou, which was very convenient. Now Wuyangyi on the bank of the Pearl River has been occupied by Dabo as the Guangzhou branch office, and the shuttles have also been changed to daily operations. Not only are there heading to Linggao, but also liners to Qiongshan.

If Zhang Dai wanted to buy a boat ticket directly, he could leave. However, it was not easy for people to travel far at that time, and there were even more inconveniences in the guest house. For the sake of smooth journey, people with a little wealth and status would write letters to ask for acquaintances to take care of the destination before going out. If there were no relatives and friends in the local area, they would also try to find one and take a post from the introducer to visit and seek the other party's care. For the gentry, such interactions with each other are common.

Zhang Dai went to Lingao naturally made such a plan. The Liang family had contact with Australians, so he was originally planning to ask Liang Cunhou to make a solution.

Now that Guangzhou has fallen, the Liang family has also "received the emperor's kindness in the world", so it is naturally inconvenient to have any contact with Australians. In fact, the gentry in Guangzhou now has this attitude, and no one wants to make a "swer" statement, causing unnecessary trouble for their relatives and friends, especially many people's fathers, brothers, sons and nephews are still studying in the Ming Dynasty, and they dare not have any contact with Australians.

The Liang family was unable to come forward, and Zhang Dai had a last move: Zhao Xiucai, Sanshui, Hangzhou.

In Hangzhou, Zhao Yingong had frequent contacts with him, and he could be regarded as a "friend" - this was not because Zhang Dai was impressed by Zhao Yingong's special temperament or personal charm, but because of the care of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe.

The "Australian background" of the Sanshui Zhao Xiucai is not a secret among the gentry in Hangzhou. Zhang Pu's view goes further: Zhao Yingong is actually the agent of the thief, and it is very likely that he is a thief himself.

Zhang Pu was not ignorant of the actions of the thief in Guangdong. However, compared with the Eastern Barbarians, the thief in the Ming Dynasty had both advantages and disadvantages, and was not as capable as the Dong Barbarians as purely using barbaric looting. If it could be guided and utilized, it would be a good medicine for the Ming Dynasty to prolong life and prolong life.

Therefore, he hinted that Zhang Dai might as well make friends with Mr. Zhao and maintain a certain friendly relationship. At critical moments, it is a reliable communication channel and can grasp some internal situations of the thief. Zhang Pu knew that the court's understanding of various enemies was amazingly ignorant.

Zhang Dai is not as complicated and long-term as Zhang Pu considers, but he has always been a novel and exquisite thing. The various "Australian goods" brought by Mr. Zhao of Sanshui just met his needs, so he was willing to obey his orders.

This time he went south, he went to visit Zhao Yingong and asked him to write a letter "Eight Lines".

When he heard that he was interested in going to Lingao to see, Zhao Yingong seemed very attentive. He immediately patted his chest and said that it was all on him. He immediately wrote a letter to the "Eight Lines" to the "Master of Runshi Hall".

Zhang Dai didn't know who the owner of Runshitang was, but since he wrote it for him, it would be easier to find Runshitang when he arrived in Linggao.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Guangzhou, I heard that there was also a Runshitang semicolon in Guangzhou. This made things easier. Zhang Dai had made up his mind and sent a servant to Runshitang to submit posts with his famous post, saying that he would visit him on a date.

“… Through the public security rectification of the city’s customs industry, industrial and commercial registration and household registration investigation, the cleaning and rectification team has initially grasped the situation of brothels and customs industry practitioners in the entire Guangzhou city (including the Simenguanxiang area)

"There are 194 registered brothels in the city, 1,548 registered practitioners and 3,445 auxiliary practitioners. The youngest prostitutes are 10 years old and the oldest are 55 years old (Note: not including Pipazi). Young women aged 16 to 25, accounting for 50% of the total number of prostitutes. The specific age distribution is shown in the table below...

"In terms of the source of prostitutes, 62% of the total number of people born in the house, 27% of the gang family, and 11% of the good family. However, in the survey, we learned that many madams from the house were buying poor women and pretending to be their daughters in order to avoid the legal prohibition of forcing good people to become prostitutes. Therefore, this statistics cannot truly reflect the source of prostitutes...

"Based on our comprehensive assessment of the size, decoration level, consumption level and traditional social views, brothels in Guangzhou can be roughly divided into four grades. Most of the first-class brothels are in the form of "hangyuan" or "dazhai" (water prostitute village). In terms of business scale, there are at least 10 prostitutes, which can reach more than 20 people, and there are also several "pipazi". The architectural decoration and decoration are very exquisite, and prostitutes are generally young and have good looks, and most of them are from family members.

There are also many famous prostitutes who are proficient in literature and ink, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. Some famous prostitutes are well-known locally and even in the province. Prostitutes are less abused and have a high standard of living. The consumer prices of such brothels are very high, mostly banquets, singing, music, drinking, drinking, tea and accompanying guests. However, the number of such brothels is very small in the customs industry, with only 9 in the urban area, accounting for less than 5% of the entire industry, with 134 employees, accounting for 8.6% of the employees...

"It is worth noting that although the proportion of prostitutes in first-class brothels is less than 10%, the number of auxiliary practitioners in first-class brothels, including miscellaneous workers, chefs, chefs, craftsmen, etc. accounts for more than two-thirds of the entire auxiliary practitioners. The operating income and profits account for more than half of the entire customs industry. The scale effect is very obvious...

"Second-class brothels are mainly smaller than first-class brothels in terms of size, but in terms of specific grade, they are not the same as first-class brothels. Locally, they are mostly called "semi-private" and other locally. The houses are mostly operated in the form of "study houses" or "painting houses". The mansions are small and exquisite, with only 1 to 2 prostitutes, and there are also several maids and pipazis. In fact, maids are also practitioners. The business situation is the same as first-class brothels. Among them, there are famous prostitutes. Most of these brothels are from "leihus" and often operate in a family form. Madams and prostitutes are often mother-daughter relationship. There are 38 second-class brothels in the urban area, with 80 practitioners (including maids).

"The third and fourth-class brothels are completely pure deals, with a simple venue and no show. The fourth-class brothels do not even have formal houses. They only build thatched huts and huts for prostitutes in wastelands outside the city. The third and fourth-class brothels are mostly business partners of middle and lower classes. The practitioners are either older or slightly inferior in appearance. Because the price of selling spring is very cheap, in order to extract the best interests, some prostitutes have to receive more than 20 customers in one day and night. Prostitutes are also the most severely abused and oppressed. This type of brothel is also a high-level area for venereal diseases. The survey of prostitutes in third and fourth-class brothels is shown in the table below...

"In addition to brothels that have registered and obtained business licenses, there are also 6 brothels in the form of nunnies. The business conditions are roughly similar to those of first- and second-class brothels. There are also 'tits' run by Danhu Huabai, 'Sanshuimei' and beggar big bones. Because the site and personnel are mobility, it is estimated that the employees should be between 1ooo and 2ooo people, and most of them are migrant people without household registration...

"In addition to brothels, there are four or five Xianggongtangs in Guangzhou. The scale and form of business are roughly similar to that of second-class brothels. There are about 50 employees, and they are currently included in the scope of customs and industry rectification...

"To sum up, we can see that the scale of customs in Guangzhou is not only large, but also the relevant employed population accounts for a relatively high percentage of the urban population, which has a lot to do with it as a trading port city that is mixed with... "

"This "Preliminary Investigation Report on the Condition of Guangzhou Customs and Industry" has been almost changed." Liu Xiang closed the manuscript with satisfaction and nodded to Zhang Yunmi. Zhang Yunmi's expression at this time was like many years ago - it was the day before Liu Xiang was still working for his boss when the doctoral student was not born. The expression of a girl who was instructed by Liu Xiang who urgently needed to complete a big paper within one month.

"Just give it to 6 Cheng, I have been doing it for half a month." Liu Xiang casually helped 6 Cheng add the name to the author on the cover. Zhang Yunmi agreed with a "yes" but her eyes narrowed meaningfully.

Liu Xiang pretended not to see it, and then he killed Zhang Yunmi after he started to do something about work.

As soon as Zhang Yunmi left the office door, she saw 6 Cheng coming with several documents. Zhang Yunmi smiled mysteriously, responding to 6 Cheng's greeting and left. When she passed by, 6 Cheng glanced at the cover of the article and the two very inconsistent names that were forced to be inserted. She was a little excited, but in less than a few seconds, she calmed her mind and knocked on the door of Liu Xiang's office rhythmically.

"Mayor, today someone took the famous post from Mr. Zhao from Hangzhou to the Guangzhou Business Station of Runshitang, saying that he wanted to see the 'Master of Runshitang'." 6 Orange handed over the box,

"Mr. Zhao... Hum, his news?" Liu Xiang was a little confused. He was surprised and almost said the words that should have been "beeped" in front of naturalized people. "Is it because Guangzhou has been set up here, and Lao Zhao is very nervous? Didn't he say that he had gone to "inspect the trade routes with Japan" last time? It should be no problem!" Liu Xiang thought in his heart.

"Who is the visitor? Have you sent a famous post?"

"Yes," said 6 Cheng, "called Zhang Dai. This is his famous post."

"Zhang Dai, this name is quite familiar... he should be a celebrity." Liu Xiang looked at the big red post and took out a "special reading for veterans" from the drawer without a cover and only enclosed in black cardboard. After reading for a while, he found Zhang Dai's name under the entry "z-Zhang".

Zhang Dai, Fushe... Jiangnan Shilin... Liu Xiang put the pages together, his movements were a little bit big, and there was a dull "bang" sound. (To be continued.)8
