Speaking of bathhouses in the capital, there are not many, but there are definitely quite a few.
It can be seen almost everywhere in the markets of the inner city.
Bathing is mainly cold water bath, and the basic process is to wash in the hot spring and then change to a room to rest.
A series of services are also provided inside, including back scrubbing, hair combing, shaving, pedicure, etc.
It is similar to the modern SPA process, just a little simpler.
Normally, it only costs a few cents to wash it once.
The cost of the full set is not high, only a few dozen coins. It is not a problem for ordinary people to grit their teeth and buy the full set occasionally.
Of course, the poor have their own way of playing, and the rich have their own way of playing.
Although many wealthy people have their own bathhouses, and some even build bathhouses when they build tombs, bathing alone is not as varied as outside, and there isn't the same atmosphere.
So it is natural that high-end baths will appear to meet the needs of high-end customers.
Such high-end venues usually have some overlap with brothel business.
The hot spring pool naturally has hot water and is usually decorated more luxuriously.
Surrounded by rockery, flowers and plants, the services are more diverse, the gameplay is more sophisticated and the privacy is higher.
Fang Zhengyi has an almost obsessive passion for the transformation of the health system.
Naturally, bathhouses are also highly valued, and businesses that build bathhouses are given the green light.
In addition, the order in Banshanfang was restored, people came and went, and many wealthy people wanted to find new opportunities to make money here, so high-end bathhouses naturally came into being.
After finishing their meal, the group found a bathhouse in the area.
Fang Zhengyi had never been to the bathhouse in Banshanfang. He used to take baths in this large bathhouse where people could bathe together with others. This was something he often did when he was a child in his previous life.
Later, I washed it myself at home and never came here again except to meet entertainment needs.
The bathhouse in front of us looks very elegant from the outside and is also very famous.
Named [Ecstasy Perfume Hall]
Fang Zhengyi looked at the sign and couldn't help smacking his lips.
It means that no one cares, and such negative names dare to be hung on the streets openly, which is really indecent!
A few people stepped in and were immediately greeted by waiters.
Fang Zheng looked around the front hall and asked curiously, "Hey, how do you charge money?"
The waiter first glanced at Chi Lie with a look of surprise on his face, then replied, "Master, our price here is fixed, two taels of silver per person."
"There are six of you in total, twelve taels!"
"Why is it so expensive for you to wash it?"
Fang Zhengyi couldn't help but be secretly shocked.
The prices in Banshanfang are now like this? It’s almost catching up with Taoyuan County!
Who would be so extravagant as to spend two taels of silver for a bath?
The waiter was obviously used to this kind of reaction from customers, and explained: "Don't be impatient, dear guest."
"Ours is indeed much more expensive than other perfume shops out there, but our stuff is the best!"
"Many noble people come to our place to discuss business, so there is a reason why it is so expensive!"
"More importantly..." The guy's expression became increasingly lewd as he spoke, and his voice became lower, "We have some exciting shows here, but you can't see them outside!"
Fang Zheng suddenly realized.
It turned out to be a business bathhouse, and there were exciting shows!
"Okay! Then the six of us will see what exciting programs you have prepared!"
"Okay!"
.......
A cup of tea passed.
Fang Zheng and Li Yuanzhao and others huddled in a corner of the bathing pool, looking at each other in bewilderment.
At the other end were Chi Lie and Pa Ba, both of them lying in the hot spring with peaceful expressions. They looked extremely comfortable, and there was even aromatherapy nearby.
Because of Paba's appearance, all the other guests in the pool ran away.
Fang Zheng's face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of the heat or what.
He looked at Li Yuanzhao and said angrily in a low voice: "I shouldn't have come! Are you still curious! Are you still curious! You are bringing shame upon yourself! It's all your fault!"
Li Yuanzhao showed shame on his face and slowly lowered his head into the water, leaving only his eyes staring at Chi Lie.
Zhang Biao and Lufa silently covered their faces with towels.
Fang Zheng looked up to the sky in silence.
I'm blind! I shouldn't be so curious.
My self-esteem was shattered...I lost this time, completely.
Judging from his height, Chi Lie should be around 2.7 meters tall. I should have expected this guy to have long arms and legs....
Today was an eye-opener...
Paba looked at Fang Zhengyi and others with a smile.
We are all men, there is nothing we don’t understand.
Chi Lie is considered to be the best warrior in Beirong from the inside out. Who can deny his inferiority?
"Master Fang, why are you sitting so far away?"
Fang Zheng chuckled twice and moved to Paba's side.
"Master, what do you think of this hot spring? Is there such a place in Beirong?"
Paba shook his head and said with some envy: "It is indeed a good place. There are also places like this in our country, but not as many as Dajing, and the decoration is not as exquisite."
It feels different to talk about things in the shower.
Naked people can speak more freely.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "Then Master, you must experience it carefully."
"I will be going to the palace to meet His Majesty the day after tomorrow. I wonder what plans you have for me, Master?"
Pa Ba thought for a moment and said, "I submitted my letter of credence to the Honglu Temple yesterday."
"King Khan wants to establish a brotherly alliance with Jing State and open up a trade route to exchange what we have. What do you think, Lord Fang?"
Trade?
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and smiled: "Good news, this is a very good news!"
If what Paba said is true, then Beirong's current situation is actually not very good.
This Khan Wutu probably also wanted to take this opportunity to recuperate.
But it was a really bad move.
According to his understanding, the main body of the Northern Rong was still a nomadic people, very similar to the Khitan civilization.
In terms of the level of commercial development and the richness of commodity types, it is far inferior to Dajing.
Once the two sides trade with each other, it will bring about a huge trade surplus.
The only things that Beirong could export were sheep, horses, camels and the like.
But Dajing is different, it includes iron, porcelain, silk, tea and even glass.
The cost of some things is so low that selling them is like robbing people.
"Oh? Lord Fang also thinks it's feasible?" Paba looked surprised.
"Why not? It couldn't be better!"
Papa sighed, "Border trade has always been difficult. I thought this trip would be somewhat troublesome."
"After seeing Lord Fang's performance today, I feel much more relieved."
Hearing him say this, Fang Zheng frowned slightly.
How could I forget this?
Many old stubborn people in the court have little interest in trade.
Perhaps Papa will really encounter many obstacles.
Maybe I should give him a hand.
It is generally acknowledged that porcelain is popular, but glass is not bad either!
The glass technology in the county is now exclusively monopolized by Taoyuan County.
If we can sell it to Beirong, wouldn’t we make a fortune?
Seeing Fang Zheng frown, Paba also frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Is there any problem?"
"Well, excuse me for being frank, based on my understanding of my colleagues, trade is really difficult!"
