"Prostitutes are one of the criteria for measuring a city's economic level and population."
Chen Zhou said.
"Why?"
Cao Ang still didn't understand.
"The warehouse is solid and you know the etiquette; the food and clothing are enough and you know the honor and disgrace."
"If a city can provide good prostitute services, doesn't it mean that the people in this city have enough food and clothing and the economy is quite good?"
"Every time Cao Cao visited a city or conquered a city, he would ask about the prostitutes in the city."
"He wanted to know the number of prostitutes in the city to understand the people's livelihood in the city as soon as possible and how much value the city could bring to him."
Chen Zhou explained slowly.
This was the first time Cao Ang heard such opinions about prostitutes.
It was also the first time that I realized that there was such a profound meaning behind my father's going to prostitutes.
Cao Ang was stunned for a while and couldn't accept it for a while.
"Cao Cao is certainly lustful, but he will not be completely obsessed with women."
"Xu Shao once said that Cao Cao was a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times."
"As a traitor, Cao Cao wouldn't go to prostitutes just for the pleasure of his lower body, and he wouldn't even be able to control his lower body."
Chen Zhou said again.
However, he said this deliberately in order to shock Cao Ang and praise Cao Cao. In fact, Cao Cao really couldn't control his lower body when he was swollen.
In two years' time, Cao Cao will have the most expensive shot in his life in Wancheng.
Cao Ang suddenly felt that his father, who liked women, had a much taller image.
Cao Cao and Cao Ren, who were eavesdropping outside, were stunned for a long time.
Cao Ren looked at Cao Cao with a bit of disbelief. It was the first time that he understood this profound meaning.
Cao Cao felt like shit!
I really just want to have a good time and satisfy my selfish desires. I have never thought about it so much. How could this person come up with so much content and elevate my image?
Cao Cao was dumbfounded.
But he didn't interrupt and waited for Chen Zhou to continue.
After a while.
"Master, have you ever thought about what kind of information a prostitute in a city can bring about people's livelihood?"
Chen Zhou asked again.
Cao Ang came back to his senses, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Sir, please enlighten me."
"The only people who frequent brothels are men."
"Among men, most of them are young adults who have the energy to do so."
"If there are many brothels and prostitutes in a city, it means that the prostitute market is large and the number of young adults in the city is also large."
"Cao Cao leads troops to fight, what is the source of his troops?"
"It's these young adults."
As soon as Chen Zhou finished speaking, Cao Ang was surprised again.
It turns out that brothels have such benefits!
Now the world is in chaos, and his father Cao Cao is leading troops to fight to pacify the world. To pacify the world, in addition to relying on one's own heritage and strength, a steady stream of troops is also needed to support Cao Cao in fighting the war.
By understanding the situation of the brothel, you can also get information about the potential sources of soldiers in a city, which will facilitate future recruitment.
It will help their Cao family conquer the world!
"Prostitution is a service industry, and the price is high, which means the city's economy is good and the people have money and food."
“On the other hand, lower prices mean there are more poor people.”
"If there are many prostitutes, but the quality is not high, and there are more ugliness than beauty, it also means that there are many poor people."
"If there are few prostitutes, it means there will be constant disasters."
"There are many brothels, which also means that the city's economy is good and there are enough young adults, which can provide Cao Cao with enough soldiers..."
Chen Zhou also explained some other benefits of brothels.
Cao Ang listened thoughtfully.
He also easily understood the meaning.
In places where there are many poor people, they don't have enough to eat, so they can only sell their wives and daughters. As a poor person, no matter how beautiful the wife or daughter is, their wives and daughters are limited. In ancient times, the resources of beautiful women were basically monopolized by the upper class circles.
Disasters continue, better understood.
Almost everyone was dead, not to mention the brothel, there were not many people in the whole city.
Cao Ang felt that he had gained knowledge!
If it weren't for the guidance of his husband, he would have ignored such an important point.
Sir is indeed a great talent!
Cao Ang admired Chen Zhou even more.
Cao Cao outside also felt that he had learned a lot!
It turns out that there are so many secrets that can be seen in the brothel.
Although Chen Zhou's imagining of his behavior made him confused, but after thinking about Chen Zhou's analysis seriously, he believed that the analysis was correct and reasonable. There was indeed a lot of information related to people's livelihood behind the brothel.
No wonder Cao Ang respected this man so much and wanted to become his disciple. Cao Cao overheard this and could conclude that this man had some abilities and unique insights. It was no problem to shock the young Cao Ang with these special insights.
Cao Cao felt regretful. In the past, he just wanted to have fun and ignored so many things, but...
"Yes, that's what I think, I'm just for people's livelihood!"
Cao Cao shamelessly took Chen Zhou's analysis as his own.
There will be legitimate reasons for going to prostitutes again in the future.
"Brother, this..."
Cao Renlin was stunned.
No wonder Cao Cao likes to go whoring so much!
It turned out to be for information about people's livelihood in the city.
Cao Ren was even thinking that I would go to whoring more often in the future.
Learn from big brother.
Follow the example of big brother.
Then I can be as knowledgeable about people's livelihood as my elder brother is.
"Brother, this gentleman seems to be quite capable!"
Cao Ren lowered his voice and asked softly: "Do we still want to kill him?"
"Keep him first!"
Cao Cao also wanted to go in and meet the gentleman, but he hesitated. From the content of their conversation, it seemed that the gentleman didn't even know Cao Ang's identity, otherwise he wouldn't have called him by his first name in front of Cao Ang.
If he went in rashly and revealed his identity, the other party would be wary and would not dare to say many things.
Zhang Miao's subordinates must have seen what he looked like, and they were exposed as soon as he showed up.
Cao Cao gave up the idea of going in for the time being, preferring to eavesdrop outside.
"Master, do you understand Cao Cao's intentions?"
"Borthels are deplorable, but they are not worthless."
"Many people just think that Cao Cao seeks prostitutes just to satisfy his personal desires, but who can understand Cao Cao's true intentions?"
Chen Zhou's voice sounded in the private room again.
Cao Ang lowered his head in shame. As a son, he didn't understand his father's good intentions. He complained to Mrs. Ding more than once that his father lingered in brothels and ignored his family. At this moment, he felt that he was the son of a man!
I must study with my father often in the future, and I must not lose this great tradition.
Cao Cao felt that Chen Zhou's words spoke to his heart.
If Chen Zhou was not Zhang Miao's subordinate, even if he was another death row prisoner with a special status, he would like to invite Chen Zhou back and stay with him as a subordinate officer.
But that's not possible yet. Cao Cao prefers to eavesdrop in secret, get more insights from Chen Zhou, and find out what Chen Zhou's intentions are.
Did he approach Cao Ang deliberately to seek something, or did he really want to teach Cao Ang.
If it was the former, Cao Cao sneered.
He suppressed the urge to rush in and listened quietly.
"I've been taught a lesson!"
Cao Ang came out of his self-blame, bowed and said, "Thank you sir for your advice!"
Chen Zhou smiled slightly.
"Sir, I have a question."
Cao Ang still came with a question today and asked: "Zhang Miao and Cao Gong are as close as brothers. It was their first time to fight against Xuzhou. Before going to the battle, Cao Gong said to Zhang Miao: 'If I don't return it, I will go to Mengzhuo.' "
"Gong Cao was so kind to Zhang Miao, why did Zhang Miao rebel against Gong Cao?"
Cao Ang thought about this problem for several days, but still couldn't think of the underlying reason, so he could only ask Chen Zhou for advice.
Hearing this, Cao Cao listened more carefully.
