Chapter 69(1/2)
Ding San's love is so pure that one day he will be hit by a bullet fired from nowhere.
Or be blown to pieces by a powerful cannonball!
The difference between the former and the latter lies in whether the remaining part is complete.
Living in a state of having today and no tomorrow all day long will make people more realistic.
Both Ding San and Old Monkey hope to gain more comfort, both psychologically and physically.
A hairy woman can give Ding San all these things.
So Ding San decided to marry this woman as his wife!
What happens in the future is another matter, the most important thing is to live well in the present.
The old monkey is more helpless because he also has a sweetheart.
But he also knew that this hairy woman had other interests.
In fact, most of the hairy women in the hospital have multiple romantic partners.
They benefited from the Ming army. This kind of flesh and blood business existed in a very primitive form of barter.
Cans, compressed biscuits, and even low-level military rations such as noodles are hard currency. What Russians like most is milk powder!
People in the Ming Dynasty didn't understand the Russians' obsession with dairy products, especially after seeing the big cream dumplings.
Is that food really for human consumption?
The hairy girls take these hard currencies to the Russians and can exchange them for whatever they want.
The nurses in the hospital are now a hot commodity, and it is rare for idlers to enter.
The hospitals in Ming Dynasty seem to be deliberately indulging this behavior of hairy girls. All those who can enter the hospital are fair-skinned, beautiful and have long legs.
From appearance to figure, the conditions are excellent.
At least it can make battalion and company level officers like Lao Houhou and Ding San very tough.
Of course, soldiers are also human beings and cannot be idle.
We can't count on the little nurse in the hospital, but the Russians still have a way.
In the towns near the Ming army's garrison, a place called a bathing center quietly emerged.
To put it bluntly, it's a bathhouse.
However, this bathhouse is different from other bathhouses. It can not only cleanse the body and mind, but also release physiological needs.
I took a dip in the large steaming pool, then lay down on the bed, and was given a bath by a thick old man covered in tendons and long hair.
Large strips of mud tended to fall to the ground along the body.
After rubbing it in and washing it again, it felt like I had lost ten pounds.
Of course, this can only be regarded as cleaning the stains on the body. For physical relaxation, you have to go to the second floor.
Put on simple clothes and pants made of thin cloth, and you can go up to the second floor.
This is the rest hall, and in front of the hall is a stage.
On the stage, there is either a duo hired from Liaodong who paid a lot of money to perform, or a group of Mao girls are dancing.
Sometimes, there are dwarf circus performances and guys in top hats and tuxedos performing magic tricks.
A kind of magic called living person magic is very popular, as long as the curtain is opened, the girl inside the curtain is naked.
Whenever the performance reaches this point, the scene is filled with thunderous cheers, applause, and whistles.
Whenever a small show ends, a large group of cool-dressed furry girls will walk onto the stage.
They lined up in a row and posed on the stage.
From time to time, they winked at the soldiers in the audience, and some deliberately shook their huge breasts, causing the howls of wolves below.
Each Mao girl has a sign hanging on her waist. When the soldiers like her, they will summon the waiter.
Then, on the paper in the waiter's hand, write the number of the card on Mao Mei's waist.
Soon, the waiter will lead you into the room on the third floor.
And the Mao girl he was interested in was lying on the big bed with an open mind, completely helping the soldier relax his body and mind.
After all, it was something immoral, so Ming Dynasty and the Russians jointly investigated it several times.
But after a series of battles, the big guys stopped checking.
First, the risk is too high.
The soldiers who came down from the front line were relatively wild, and it was difficult to carry them with them.
If you check closely, I'll shoot you in the head.
Secondly, everyone has collected the money, and blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents.
Anyone who can open a bathing center is not a good person, and during the war, guns were rampant. They blocked people's way of getting rich, and there was no way to deal with being shot on the street.
During the war, people died every day, so who would spend their energy investigating some bullshit murder case?
Soon, bathing centers sprouted up like mushrooms after a rain.
While opening up financial resources, it also solved the employment problem of a large number of Russian rural girls!
After all, the population base is very large. Russia is also a country rich in beauties, and it is not difficult to find beautiful hairy girls.
The lower-level officials, policemen and petty nobles made a lot of money.
During the war, the Russians lived a very difficult life, but the new profit model made these people's lives extremely comfortable.
They are even engaged in some wars.
Without this war, there would not have been a large number of wealthy Ming troops.
If there was no war, how could these Ming troops with strong spending power come to Russia in the ice and snow?
Many people even think that the war will last forever, until the end of time.
It turns out they thought too much!
Industry competition exists everywhere, and monopoly operations require strong force protection.
The same goes for the industry of collecting protection fees!
Ekaterina, who has a keen sense of smell, heard about this way to get rich from somewhere.
How could Catherine, who was financially strapped, give up such financial resources?
As soon as the decree went down, the bathing industry began to impose heavy taxes.
How can I do business on my mother's territory without paying enough protection fees?
After collecting taxes for two months, Catherine felt something was wrong.
Although his decree was promulgated, the money collected was not much.
This made Ekaterina very confused. Could it be that the price increase has caused an imbalance between supply and demand? Consumers are unwilling to consume?
"My Majesty the Queen, most of those bathing centers are run by local dignitaries.
How can they share their profits with you?
No matter how nice they usually say it, if you want to touch their pockets, the true colors of these people will be exposed immediately."
Rasputin said to Catherine carefully.
Although Her Majesty the Queen is a complete slut in bed, in the government hall, she is the proud Empress of Russia.
She can switch between these two identities freely.
As a qualified lover, Rasputin also had to switch back and forth between lover and courtier.
Now, he has found a lot of insights.
"Damn it!" Ekaterina said fiercely.
Rasputin was right, anyone who can open a bathing center is a powerful person in the local area.
And the people responsible for local taxation are also this group of people. If you ask them to collect their own taxes, how can they possibly collect it?
"Your Majesty! I have an idea."
"What's the idea?" Ekaterina looked at Rasputin.
Sometimes, what this guy says makes sense.
"We can confiscate these bathing centers and send people directly to collect the money. Thirty percent of the monthly payment belongs to the state.
That way, they can't evade taxes."
The tax rate is 30%. Although this tax rate is not high, it is definitely not low either.
Moreover, it can also ensure that local powerful people can also make profits.
This is a more appropriate number!
"Um!
