Zhao Ziliang called two personal guards, Zhang Huchen and Bart, and Liao Zhengkai.
Together, the four of them left the office of Qin's Trading Company and came to the Golden Horn River.
They crossed the river by boat as early as possible and entered the city through the Perama Gate.
The night life is extremely rich, which is consistent with the officials and nobles It is related to the fact that they and the wealthy businessmen are addicted to a life of drunkenness and dreams.
In half of the cases, the city gate is not closed until late at night.
On major holidays, the city gate is even left open all night.
Many people can leave the city late at night and take a boat across the strait to return to the Asia Minor Peninsula. .
You can see many shops still doing business everywhere on the street, and the shops that are still doing business are basically related to food.
After walking less than two miles, Zhao Ziliang saw the bright lights at the door of a large-scale building.
There were several glass oil lamps hanging at the door.
Some young women wearing scantily clad clothes and smelling of spices were posing at the door and whistling to the men passing by. , wave and say hello warmly.
Zhao Ziliang pointed to this building and asked Liao Zhengkai: "Is this a brothel?"
The reason why I brought Liao Zhengkai with me is because he is familiar with this place.
After all, he has been here many times and has some knowledge of the food, drink and entertainment in Constantinople.
Liao Zhengkai smiled and said: "Yes, this is a brothel.
There are no such specialized brothels in ordinary towns in the West.
If you want to play with women, you can only go to pubs.
Only big towns have specialized brothels.
Brother Zhao, how are you?
, do you want to go in and find a girl for fun?
Although many of our brothels in West Qin also have Western girls, they are not as authentic as here.
This is the place of origin, and the quality is definitely higher than those sold to us in West Qin.
Western women are taller” Zhao Ziliang asked: "Well, what talents do the girls here have?"
"Talent" Liao Zhengkai was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Ha, Brother Zhao, it turns out that you are quite flirtatious when playing with women.
Then let me tell you, you can't find anyone with both talent and talent in the brothels here.
Beautiful women, the women in the brothels here only have beauty but no talent.
Those who are talented and beautiful are all in the homes of nobles, high-ranking officials and wealthy families."
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he immediately lost interest and shook his head: "Forget it, let's go to other places to see if there is a better place."
Liao Zhengkai said: "Yes, there is.
There is a romantic place near Constantine Square called Moulin Rouge.
If you go there, you will know that other pubs and brothels are no different from the Moulin Rouge.
Compared with this Moulin Rouge, , I just heard that there will be a show at Moulin Rouge tonight A special program.
It is said that the shopkeeper of the Moulin Rouge is preparing to publicly auction the rights of several peerless beauties there.
Most people cannot enter yet.
Only invited nobles and high-ranking officials can enter.
If Brother Zhao wants to enter, I can.
Think of a way" "Oh" Zhao Ziliang was very interested and said with a smile: "This kind of gameplay is quite new.
After hearing what you said, I am really interested.
Come on, let's go over and see what kind of shopping mall this Moulin Rouge is. cave" Several people immediately called a passing empty carriage and took the carriage to the Moulin Rouge.
The carriage drove for nearly twenty minutes and stopped.
Zhao Ziliang, Zhang Huchen, Bart and others got off the carriage and took a look.
The Moulin Rouge was indeed extraordinary.
The building of this Moulin Rouge turned out to be a converted public assembly hall.
The shape and style of the building are similar to those of churches and city halls.
In other words, the Moulin Rouge used to be a city hall or other official buildings.

Only official buildings and churches are built like this.
Other buildings are not allowed to be built in this shape.
This is strictly There are regulations.
The entire Moulin Rouge has three floors, and glass lamps are hung in the outer corridors of each floor.
What are burning in the lamps are white candles as thick as an arm.
Every few hours, a dedicated person will clean the candles, regardless of whether they are burned out or not.
In the middle is a huge patio, with a huge circular dome above it.
The circular dome is paved with pieces of curved colored colored glaze.
This is more luxurious than a church.
You must know that only Western Qin can mass-produce colored glaze, and the pieces are large. , high quality, while the colored glaze produced by Datang was small in quantity and small in size, but of fine quality, and each piece was priceless.
Moreover, a large piece of arc-shaped colored glaze had to be transported from the distant West Qin.
The cost and value were simply unimaginably high.
Liao Zhengkai said to Zhao Ziliang and others: "This Moulin Rouge used to be the Senate.
Later, the Senate moved away and this house became vacant.
It is said that there is a strong official background behind the Moulin Rouge."
Zhang Huchen said: "Every fool knows that the owner here must have strong backers.
Otherwise, how could the Moulin Rouge be opened on such a large scale without anyone else looking for trouble?"
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Old Liao, didn't you say there was a way to let us in?"
Liao Zhengkai immediately walked towards the gate of Moulin Rouge.
There were twenty or thirty strong warriors with weapons on their waists standing neatly at the gate.
These warriors looked like they had been uniformly trained.
They stood motionless one by one.
There was a special person responsible for checking the invitations.
There were no No one with an invitation will be allowed in.
I saw Liao Zhengkai walking to the door and shouting to the guarding warriors: "I am Liao Zhengkai, the shopkeeper of the Qin's Trading Company in the Western Qin Dynasty.
Where is your steward?"
A samurai captain in charge at the gate turned around, looked at it, stepped forward and asked: "Shopkeeper Liao, do you have anything to do with us?"
"certainly" The samurai captain hesitated and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
After a while, a capable middle-aged man wearing a expensive satin robe came out, "I am Luo Ruide, the front door steward of the Moulin Rouge.
You are the shopkeeper Liao of the Qin's Trading Company in the Western Qin Dynasty.
I heard that you are looking for me." " Liao Zhengkai looked at Luo Ruide and said sternly: "Manager Luo Ruide, I heard that your Moulin Rouge will have a wonderful show tonight.
Invitations have been sent to many dignitaries in the city in advance.
People without invitations cannot enter, is that right?"
"Yes, because there are too many people who are qualified to come in, so we selectively sent invitations to some dignitaries who we thought were qualified."
Liao Zhengkai interrupted: "Our Western Qin Qin's Trading Company is also one of the few wealthy families in the Western Qin Kingdom, and its business scale in Constantinople is also among the best among all foreign trading firms.
Your Moulin Rouge holds such a grand event.
But they didn’t send invitations to our Qin’s Trading Company office.
Are you looking down on our Qin’s Trading Company?
Are you looking down on all the merchants in Western Qin?
Look down on me, West Qin, in our east.
Ordinary people don’t care about face, but anyone with status values face more than anything else.
You Moulin Rouge look down on our merchants in West Qin.
Believe it or not, I, Qin’s Trading Company, mobilized all the people in West Qin.
If this situation occurs, I don’t know how the adults in your country will deal with your Moulin Rouge."
Faced with Liao Zhengkai's questioning step by step, beads of sweat appeared on Luo Ruide's forehead.

The hats were buttoned bigger and bigger.
He knew that the West Qin Trading Company was a relatively powerful trading house in the West Qin country.
The merchants in the West Qin Kingdom Their status is much higher than that of the Tang Dynasty, but they cannot compare with the officials and nobles.
However, they do have the ability to mobilize private chambers of commerce to impose a certain degree of embargo on the Eastern Roman Empire, but the losses will definitely be considerable.
Luo Ruide quickly explained: "Don't be angry, Shopkeeper Liao.
We at Moulin Rouge do not look down on Qin's Trading Company.
Absolutely not.
The fact is that our Moulin Rouge has limited space and cannot accommodate too many people, and there are so many wealthy and noble families in the city that we really can't take care of them."
Come on, but since you have come forward in person, we have to express our feelings.
Well, we can send you a replacement invitation.
I don’t know how many of you are going in."
"Four" "Okay, please follow me and I will lead you in."
Liao Zhengkai immediately waved to Zhao Ziliang and others, and the four of them followed Luo Ruide into the Moulin Rouge.
The Moulin Rouge is indeed luxurious and luxurious, with glass lamps lit everywhere, and a large number of crystal ornaments hanging on the dome.
Crystal ornaments of various shapes refract and reflect light to everywhere, making it look sparkling.
In addition to these, a large number of erotic paintings are hung on the walls in the Moulin Rouge to add interest and style.
Not everyone can come to such a happy place.
Even if they are qualified, they may not come.
For example, those elderly nobles and high-ranking officials would lose their status by coming to such a happy place.
If others find out, The reputation is not good.
The people who come here are all young nobles, second-generation nobles, and second-generation officials.
Because they are young, they don't have to worry about their status.
It is common for them to fight over jealousy in the entertainment venue.
The huge patio of the Moulin Rouge is full of people.
You are not allowed to bring female companions to a place like this.
The nobles, second-generation officials, and second-generation rich people are accompanied by wine girls and dancers.
In the middle of the patio, there is A stage, not too high, but visible to everyone in the Moulin Rouge.
There are hundreds of rooms of different sizes around the courtyard.
These are VIP rooms.
Some ordinary little nobles, second-generation low-level officials and ordinary rich second-generation people can only stay in the courtyard.
Only those who are truly powerful and high-ranking officials can stay in the courtyard.
Only the second generation of wealthy people are eligible to enjoy VIP rooms.
Here, almost all the pleasure seekers are holding a wine glass and accompanied by a female companion.
They gather together in twos and threes to drink and chat.
These young people are all wearing gorgeous tight-fitting horse riding outfits, inlaid with gold and silver, and the soles of their feet are Long cowhide riding boots, these riding attires have different colors, styles and inlaid jewelry.
Many young people wear curly wigs on such occasions.
This surprised Zhao Ziliang and others who just came in.
Could this be these nobles?
their party dresses Zhao Ziliang asked: "Manager Luo Ruide, why are these young people wearing riding attire and causing such a party?
There are special rules?"
Luo Ruide smiled and said: "It's not that there are special rules.
Knights are a group of noble people here.
They have honor and mission, so their costumes have become popular among young people.
Over time, they are often used in some large banquets and public places. , young people have made it a custom to wear knight costumes to attend various banquets."
"I see":
