The key problem of the huge reduction in investment is that the Jinyiwei Donghuamen Hundred Houses Office. Originally, Donghuamen wanted to collect safe money and break the rules. Yingtianfu made tolerance. The reason for tolerance was that it was just Xingmo's mosquito meat, which was not worth mentioning. There was no need to fight with the madman named Hao for such a small profit.

But now it’s different. In just over a month, a large number of shops have entered Donghuamen. If there were people waiting and watching at the beginning, now, they are simply flocking in.

In the past, some of the "fat sheep" in Yingtian Mansion's eyes have now been transferred to the Donghuamen area.

The reason for this situation is that the problem still lies in the Donghuamen Hundred Houses Institute.

Since Donghuamen did not allow the three religions and other yamen to get a share of the pie, not only did they start to put away the Ping An money and hang Ping An sign, but especially for shops such as ** and gambling shops, they charge fifty silver patterns every month.

At first glance, it seems to be ruthless, but you should know that whenever industries involving pornography, gambling, drugs, are often profitable. These industries are not something that ordinary people dare to get involved. If there is not a strong enough backend and not enough relationship behind it, even if you know that this is a profitable deal, who dares to get involved?

It’s just that it’s not easy to have enough relationships. If there is a relationship, it must be maintained. The umbrellas at the end are definitely not ordinary characters. Maintaining relationships with such people is not a little money to be spent. Throughout the year, those big guys’ birthdays, Bing Jing, Carbon Jing, and various New Year Festivals are all calculated. There are at least dozens of reasons, and gifts must be prepared every time. People look down on ordinary gifts, and you have to ask about their preferences. If the gifts are light, it will not be possible. So, Ruyi, Jade Buddha, calligraphy and painting, etc., are all expensive. Just this item, I don’t know how much it costs. Moreover, the main people’s affairs must also be managed by the gatekeeper. The so-called King of Hell is easy to mess with, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. If people spend a few words in front of others, or make things difficult for you a few more times, all their efforts may be wasted.

Maintaining relationships often costs more than explicitly priced.

In addition, these transactions are not the right way after all, so most of the yamen are putting their hands on this. Most of the yamen dare not be too presumptuous for ordinary careers. After all, the jailers are staring at them, but the gambling shop is different from the jail. No matter how you exploit them, no one will stand out for such things.

In addition, practitioners in these industries are already mixed with dragons and snakes, and are the main gathering places of all religions and all kinds of people. Many people rely on this kind of industry to maintain their support. If they are unwilling to satisfy these people, they will inevitably cause trouble.

All these things make these industries the main source of wealth for Yingtianfu, and Yingtianfu is all pointing to this pot to make a living.

But now it is very different. A month later, the gambling shops that were originally dissatisfied with the Jinyiwei Hundred Houses suddenly discovered that there was no harassment in their shops, and no yamen's servants to make trouble. For merchants, profit-seeking is their nature. As long as the account is calculated, it will be clear whether the rules of the Donghuamen Jinyiwei are good.

So, merchants in the entire Nanjing city began to open gambling shops in the streets near Donghuamen. With the first one, there was a second one, a third one, and many merchants who were not afraid to get involved in this industry also showed great enthusiasm at this time and flocked in. In just over a month, more than 170 merchants in Donghuamen, of which more than 80% were related to ** and gambling shops.

Another problem has emerged here, such as gambling shops. There were actually not many gambling shops in Nanjing, but only a few hundred. After all, those who dared to open gambling shops in the past were mostly strong people like Zhang Biao. Ordinary merchants dared to do this easily. However, there are more than 60 gambling shops recently opened in Donghuamen, which is less than 50, but there are more than 50 households. In fact, these people have long been jealous of the profits of these businesses and dare not do them. But now they have the opportunity, so they have just flocked in.

Originally, many people did not take this seriously. Donghuamen said it was big or small, and there were so many guests who gathered so many ** and gambling shops, but the next thing was eye-opening. Obviously, they forgot that there was a so-called group effect in this world. They gathered so many careers, which made Donghuamen famous, so many people went there, and the new shop business became popular, but the transactions in other places were much more bleak.

This is also understandable. Many people go to gambling, just to make some fun. There are many options available in Donghuamen. I also heard that there are no stolen people or scoundrels there, and the streets are clean. Everyone wants to go and take a look, but after this, it becomes completely popular.

After the abortion, various wine shops, tea shops and even opera troupes emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain. Everyone had to eat and drink while having fun. With the abortion, there would be a business.

This is certainly a good thing for Donghuamen and even Donghuamen Hundred Houses. The more merchants, the more money it means, the more money it costs, but for others, it is really dismal.

The business of gambling shops and trash in other places plummeted, but Yingtian Mansion, the Bingma and even the rogues in the market are still exploiting them as before. In the past, everyone could support them and feed all kinds of people, and feed themselves.

But now it’s different. The business is already bleak. In the previous month, there were more or less 51,000 taels of money, and it would be okay to take out half of it to make some money. Now the monthly income is only 25 and 500. If it is the same as before, what do you eat?

There is no way for Tianfu, Bingmasi and those rogues in the market. The end of the year is coming. After all, they are just small characters. If they are sympathetic to everyone this year, the men above find that this year's filial piety is much less than before, but they may not be sympathetic to them. So, on the one hand, they are urging money to ask for money, all of them are like wolves and tigers, like debt collectors. On the other hand, they are extremely reluctant. In the past, they can live in harmony with you because everyone has made a fortune. Now they can't spend so much money to go in, and they will all fatten you, but starve to death.

The delicate balance is completely broken.

The merchants are very straightforward. Since this transaction cannot be done, it will be fine. If you don’t leave me here, you will have a place to stay. Grandpa, I will go to the Jinyiwei.

The situation was like this when the magistrate Yang Xian faced an embarrassing situation. Everyone ran away and hid from Donghuamen. They opened there again. No matter how long your hands were, you couldn't control it. For the Yingtian Mansion staff who were about to celebrate the New Year, the more people they ran away, the more pressure they were. So they all had red eyes and even had their last little face to tear off, asking for money everywhere like crazy, and they almost snatched it away with Dao Ming. The more this happened, the more merchants they fled, and they had gone to a irreversible level.

This year is not easy.

After thinking about it, there was no cause and effect. I couldn't think of any good way. If the servants were allowed to stabilize the merchants, Yingtianfu would be willing to collect less and to be sympathetic about the difficulties of merchants. But is the military personnel willing? It is not impossible to collect less Yingtianfu, but the military personnel would be more. Not only did they not get the merchants, but they would take advantage of the military personnel.

But letting go of the road and looking for money everywhere without taking any consequences, it won’t work. The more you force people, the more you can’t afford to offend them, and even if you don’t go to Donghuamen, what can you do if you don’t do business?

It's so difficult. Since the founding of the literature, Yingtianfu has been in a few years. Who would have thought that this rule has been completely broken now?

While he was frowning, a servant came over: "Prime Minister Yang Tong, the prefect is welcome."
