Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

When it comes to brothels, she can adhere to the principle of voluntariness.

They will definitely not buy or sell decent women, and they will adopt a voluntary system for the girls in the building.

A group of singers and musicians will also be trained, and not all of them will necessarily serve men by selling their beauty.

However, Zhao Yuanzhen must never let anyone know about this industry and its relationship with the Zhang family; it must be kept hidden in the dark.

Otherwise it will be bad for Zhang Xinshu's official reputation.

He called the chosen woman over and decided to have a talk with her.

"Hello, madam."

"Well, sit down. I have something to ask you. I am planning to open a brothel and would like to choose you as the boss and person in charge. Our brothel is based on the principle of voluntariness. We will not force anyone or buy and sell decent women. Take a look, what do you want to do?"

The woman lowered her head and thought for a while.

"Ma'am, since you trust me so much, I'll give it a try."

She was a woman of the world, wandering around, and came to assassinate Zhang Xinshu for the bounty, but she was caught.

She thought it was all over, but she met Zhao Yuanzhen unexpectedly. She didn't beat, scold or insult her, didn't restrict her freedom, and now asked her if she was willing to be the person in charge.

She didn't grow up in the sun, so she was used to seeing things happening in brothels.

So she was willing to give it a try.

"Okay, I believe you can succeed. Starting tomorrow, you will be fully responsible for everything from the decoration to the opening of the brothel. Of course, if you don't understand or encounter any problems, you can ask me. I will draw a decoration blueprint for you tomorrow."

"Yes, ma'am, I will do my best."

"Okay, I believe you."

"Please give me a name, Madam."

Yes, it does need to be renamed, even a flower name needs to be chosen.

Think about it.

"Liu Rushi, what do you think?"

There are advantages to time travel, at least the name is just randomly plagiarized.

"Liu Rushi, I like it very much, Madam Xie."

From now on, we will call him Liu Rushi.

The shop where Zhao Yuanzhen was planning to open a brothel was photographed anonymously by someone so that no one would associate it with her.

It is a three-story shop, covering an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, with a large backyard.

She plans to build a performance stage in the lobby on the first floor, where she will hold various performances including singing and dancing every day.

The second and third floors are various private rooms.

The second floor is for performing arts, and the third floor is for selling bodies.

The backyard is home to a kitchen, warehouse, stables, etc.

The second floor on the right is designed as a room of about 30 square meters. The room contains a separate small bathroom with a set of bathroom facilities. The room includes a step-out bed, a large wardrobe, a bed with an octagonal table, chairs, a desk, a chest of drawers, a treasure cabinet, a piano stand, an embroidery frame, etc.

Zhao Yuanzhen plans to design 100 such rooms for the girls in the building to live in.

On the left side, a small courtyard was designed separately for Liu Rushi to live in.

Two second floors were built in the remaining space, one for the cook, maids and servants to live in.

The other one was given to the servant and guard to live in.

I have already selected all the soft and hard furnishings.

The finished drawings were also given to Liu Rushi to find someone to decorate and customize the furniture.

As for the girls in the brothel, the two of them decided to buy some from other brothels first, and then go to the pawnshop to have a look and buy some.

Of course, this will be explained before purchasing.

Zhao Yuanzhen gave Liu Rushi 50,000 silver taels and bought her a lot of clothes, jewelry, etc.

She was dressed in jewels and looked very elegant.

Zhao Yuanzhen dressed up as Liu Rushi's maid and went to the pharmacy with her.

Went to the largest dental clinic.

The manager of the dental clinic came over happily to greet Liu Rushi when he saw her wearing all kinds of jewels.

"Hello ma'am, what can I do for you?"

"Call all the maids and servants here, I will choose them."

"Yes, ma'am, please wait here and I'll call someone for you."

He led them to a main room in the yard, served them tea, and then went to call for help.

The first to come up were the servants.

There are four.

"Madam, everyone is here, please take your pick."

"Let me start by saying that I run a brothel and I hire you to do menial work in the building. Each person will receive two taels of silver per month, three days off, six sets of clothes per year, and all personal belongings, luggage, and bedding will be new. The meals include four dishes and one soup, with both meat and vegetables. Those who are willing to sell themselves to me can stay, and those who are not willing can leave."

When these people heard that she opened a brothel, they were very reluctant, but when they heard about the treatment, they were a little envious. After thinking about it, they were old and ugly anyway, and even if they worked in a brothel, they would not have much to do, just work, and the treatment was so good, and the food was okay.

Some people were unwilling and left.

Finally, 34 were left.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded secretly, and Liu Rushi took both.

"Leave them all. I want them all."

"Thank you, Madam."

The steward asked them to stand aside first and then went to call the little girls.

The little girls were all relatively young, in their teens or early teens, no older than fifteen.

61 came in.

"I run a brothel. After I buy you, I will find a master to teach you various talents. Depending on your level of learning, you can be a maid, sing, play the piano, or dance. You will get 5 taels of silver per month, 3 days off, 12 sets of clothes per year, and all other daily necessities will be provided. If you are willing, stay."

This treatment is also scary good.

Of these little girls, 29 were left in the end.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded and took them all.

The remaining servant bought another 30.

Liu Rushi took the contract and helped them to sign it, then led them home.

Because the brothel had not been renovated yet, Liu Rushi temporarily rented a large courtyard.

All these people were arranged in the yard.

Zhao Yuanzhen had already brought over a few girls that he had bought from the pleasure boat.

They are responsible for teaching these little girls to play the piano and sing.

Zhao Yuanzhen also knew that this was too slow and it would take at least a year or half a year to learn it well. For now, she still had to buy some skilled opera performers.

This matter is left to Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi began to move around various pleasure boats and brothels, using various means of intimidation and high pay to pry girls away.

She actually got quite a lot.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look and decided that there would be no problem in opening the business.

"Good, good, well done, thank you for your hard work."

In order to reward Liu Rushi, Zhao Yuanzhen gave her a pair of jade bracelets of very good quality.

Liu Rushi couldn't let it go and loved it very much. This was her first piece of jewelry that was so beautiful and so valuable.

Which woman doesn't love beauty?

That morning, Huang Rong came back, and Lan Ying brought back news that they would arrive in the afternoon.

It's finally here.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon when Lan Ying and her friends entered the city.

Zhao Yuanzhen selected four cooks and one all-round musician from the people she brought from the capital and brought them to Liu Rushi's courtyard.

Every time she comes, she puts on makeup so that no one can see her true face.

The three people brought this time were also told that Liu Rushi would be their apparent master from now on and they must not expose themselves.

Four cooks are definitely not enough, we need to buy a few more so that people from the north and south can learn from each other about cooking.

The same goes for the arias, where the musicians on the painted boat and the ones she brought communicate with each other, give full play to their strengths, and teach the best ones.

Everything has been basically arranged for the brothel, and all that remains is to wait for the decoration to be completed and choose a date for the opening.

Other shops also need to start decorating.

First, we need to open a bathroom shop. After the shop is opened, the bathroom facilities at the manor and the brothel will not be exposed.

I also need a set of bathroom facilities in my own house.

But now, the workshop has not been built yet and it is impossible to produce the products. Zhao Yuanzhen directly ordered 1000 sets from the system.

Open the bathroom shop first.

We hired someone to decorate the shops. These are all good shops and do not need any renovation. Simply decorate them according to your needs.

After it was installed, cleaned, and a sign was hung.

【Zhang Bathroom Shop】.

Setting off firecrackers to open the business.

Every family is keeping an eye on these newly auctioned shops. Seeing a bathroom shop opened here, they feel relieved that it won’t be as important as their own shops. But at the same time, they are curious about what this shop is for.

Many people went in to see it.

There is a bathroom for experience in the house. After trying it, I found that it is clean, comfortable and has no odor.

A lot of orders were placed instantly.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanzhen knew that there were many orders, so she had already formed four installation teams.

A lot of toilet paper was also sold.

Yangzhou Prefecture is a southern provincial capital with good economic development. Because of its high income, purchasing power has also increased.

For toilet paper, the orders are basically in the thousands.

For other shops, Zhao Yuanzhen also decided on the items to be sold and started decorating them.

Beauty salon, dessert shop, grocery store, billiard hall, storytelling shop, wine shop, medicinal food ingredients shop and medicinal food shop.

Thinking that these shops and homes would need a lot of servants and maids, I had to buy some.

Zhao Yuanzhen has already selected the housekeeper for the inner house, and several housekeepers for the outer courtyard were brought from home and were trained by the housekeeper of Chengyuan.

After several years of training, he is now capable of taking on important responsibilities.

Zhao Yuanzhen took Lan Ying and bought 300 servants, 120 maids, 80 housemaids, and 40 cooks.

These 120 maids need to be trained to become 50 massage technicians, 30 lobby maids, 20 manicurists, and the remaining 20 will be maids who stay in the mansion.

The 40 cooks will also be trained together first and then assigned to other positions later.

Fortunately, Lan Ying brought a lot of people from the capital, so he could teach them quickly.

There were 8 technicians, 2 manicurists, 2 lobby maids, and 20 cooks.

Twenty young servants were selected, trained to play billiards, and then transferred to the billiard shop.

Before they officially moved in, Zhao Yuanzhen rented a large house for these people to live in temporarily so that they could study.

Various technical trades are being learned in full swing. These shops are about to open, so we have to seize the time and study hard.

Thinking about the dietary differences between the north and the south, Zhao Yuanzhen took her 40 cooks to taste the various foods in the south.

Start eating from the most famous restaurants.

Each time there are 4 tables, and each table orders different dishes. All the cooks and Zhao Yuanzhen taste the dishes and then summarize their thoughts.

The main goal is to take the essence and discard the dross.

Write down the delicious ones and the ones that didn’t taste good, and try to improve them when you get back.

As a result, all the major restaurants, hotels, small shops, pastry shops, and breakfast shops discovered that recently there was a luxurious lady who led 40 women to eat and drink all kinds of food.

After eating, we still have to mutter together.

These people are confused.

They never imagined that these people came here to steal their skills.
