Wei Zi walks into a brothel.

This is a way that Zhu Yuanzhang came up with, in order to stimulate the economy and fill the national treasury income. In ancient times, brothel was an industry with very high income, but the corresponding taxes and fees were also very high. If the income of brothels is relatively high, then more taxes will be paid to the state.

Therefore, in the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, instead of suppressing the brothel industry, candidates were encouraged to have fun in the brothel, so they acquiesced in opening a brothel opposite the imperial examination room. These candidates are not far from Wan Li to take the imperial examination, which is very hard. What we need most at this time is entertainment to relax ourselves and keep ourselves in a good state and mood.

What is a man's favorite pastime? It's just a brothel listening to music and looking for girls. It is easier for candidates to have fun by opening brothels across the hall, and the imperial court can use the imperial examination to collect more money. And the imperial examination is very important every time. Whether it is good or not, candidates will want to vent.

I'm glad I did well in the exam. I went to a brothel to play with girls. People who don't do well in the exam are depressed and go to the brothel to get drunk. Some women in the brothel have also studied, and they can talk to these candidates. One to two, the business of brothels is even more popular. I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang really made a good abacus.

In the Qing dynasty, this habit remained. Because it has been hundreds of years, everyone is used to it, and it is nothing strange. If a minister suggests closing brothels, it will be opposed by other ministers, which will directly affect the revenue of the state treasury.

These brothels are decorated every year during the imperial examination to better serve the candidates. They will also design their own slogans to serve the candidates. The most knowledgeable and talented women in brothels are arranged as top cards in order to better communicate with applicants and attract more business.
