Chapter 771: Li Er visits a brothel at night

Changancheng.

Watching Great Qin grow stronger day by day, Li Er felt truly depressed.

However, no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't think of a way to catch up with Great Qin.

"Fang Xuanling, do you think Great Tang still has hope of catching up with Great Qin?"

Li Er asked unconsciously.

He didn't expect to get any answer.

If Fang Fang Xuanling knew, he certainly would have said it long ago.

The current situation of Great Tang was that even immortals couldn't save it!

Envious of Great Qin's entertainment industry.

Fang Fang Xuanling sighed.

"Your Majesty, before we think of a good way, there is actually one more method. That is to copy Great Qin's system completely!" Just hearing that there was one more method, Li Er was quite excited.

He thought Fang Fang Xuanling had suddenly had an epiphany and thought of some good idea.

But hearing his last sentence, the small flame of hope that had just emerged was instantly extinguished.

"How can we completely copy Great Qin's system? There is only one Qin Mu in the world!"

Li Er knew this very clearly in his heart.

The reason Great Qin succeeded was not entirely dependent on the system.

In this, Qin Mu occupied the absolute dominant factor.

No matter how he learned from Great Qin, he couldn't have another Qin Mu to help him. The result of learning from Great Qin would still be difficult to succeed.

Fang Fang Xuanling, however, was not as unconfident as him.

He urged, "Your Majesty, Great Qin encourages scholars from humble backgrounds, encourages commerce, and encourages entertainment, making the vitality of the whole world flourish.

Facts have also proven that Qin Mu's approach is correct. Why must we stubbornly hold onto old concepts and wait for death?"

That's right!

If Great Tang didn't make changes quickly, it was indeed waiting for death.

Li Er had run to Changancheng several times, and he had seen this clearly.

Fang Fang Xuanling urged again.

"Even if Great Tang cannot copy it completely, choosing to learn a part of it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Li Er was still moved by Fang Fang Xuanling.

He had to change!

And the beginning of change would start from learning a certain part of Great Qin.

The part about scholars from humble backgrounds involved too much. Li Er could only try to find a way to allow a small number of them to be selected through the imperial examination.

It was impossible to be like Great Qin, selecting entirely based on grades.

The power of the aristocratic families was always a mountain that Great Tang couldn't bypass.

Commerce was the same.

Private merchants would definitely be suppressed by the aristocratic families; if the families weren't toppled, this situation wouldn't change.

What made Li Er most helpless was that he simply couldn't topple the aristocratic families.

Finally, the only thing left to learn was Great Qin's entertainment.

"Fang Xuanling, I remember that the new-style songs last time caused a sensation on the Qinhuaihe."

Speaking of Great Qin's new-style songs, Li Er was filled with emotion again.

The sensation on the Qinhuaihe, he originally thought, was just circulating among the flower streets and willow alleys. But he didn't expect Qin Mu to use these scores to trick away fifteen young ladies from aristocratic families at once.

Two days ago, they had even performed new-style dances at the Great Ming Palace night banquet.

This matter formed a scar in Li Er's heart.

It was also this matter that made him realize how attractive Great Qin's new-style songs and dances were.

Fang Fang Xuanling also remembered it vividly.

Fortunately, his own girl hadn't mixed with that group of aristocratic young ladies.

Otherwise, she would have been taken away in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, shall we go to the bookstore tomorrow to see if there are any scores and dance manuals for sale?"

Li Er shook his head.

"Just looking at the scores, how would one know the effect? Let's go and visit Pingkangfang tonight."

Hearing Pingkangfang, Fang Fang Xuanling's face changed slightly.

But this was the Emperor's will, and he had no right to object.

He could only agree.

Night fell.

Li Er and Fang Fang Xuanling, the two monarch and subject, arrived at the long-famous Pingkangfang in Changancheng.

This place had always been a gathering place for various brothels and entertainment houses.

In the world today, there was Pingkang in the north and Qin Huai in the south. Although they were called equally famous, the two monarch and subject knew in their hearts, how could the Qinhuaihe compare to Pingkangfang?

The brothels here were century-old brands!

Lanterns filled the streets, and it was exceptionally lively.

Since Li Er became Emperor, he had never come to this place again. It was much earlier when he was brought here by Chai Shao once.

Since they were here to investigate the market, they naturally headed for the most luxurious place with the most customers.

Dengpinglou.

It was not only the tallest building in the entire Pingkangfang, but it also had several courtyards. It could accommodate thousands of guests at the same time without any problem.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, a pimp came up to them.

"Two masters, are you here for tea or to stay?"

Li Er and Fang Fang Xuanling didn't understand this slang.

They didn't say much to the pimp and threw a small string of copper coins to him.

"We are here to listen to songs and watch dances; bring a few more who are good at singing and dancing."

Then, they were led into the building and went to a private room on the top floor.

Before long, seven or eight young ladies came, bringing several musical instruments. They presented a menu for Li Er and the others to order.
