Chapter 943 Too Much Wear on the Soles
When he couldn't hug Hao Hongmin at will, Han Li hoped that he could visit Shanghai alone, carefully, seriously and attentively.
You should know that Shanghai has gradually been out of the control of the Chinese since 1840, and has gradually become a place where international storms gather. It was not until 1949 that it really returned to the hands of the Chinese.
In these years, Shanghai has not only established more than a dozen special concessions on this land, but also became the famous "Ten Miles of Foreign Land" under various circumstances.
However, the Ten Miles of Foreign Land at that time was not a good place. Although this place gathered various figures of the times, they left their footprints, whether good or bad.
But this Ten Miles of Foreign Land was completely watered by the blood and sweat of ordinary people and the blood and tears of many daughters.
What is it like: mooring boats by the river for eternal love, lights and wine and women are charming and intoxicating.
The Ten Miles of Foreign Land is a place of fireworks, and the wind and clouds meet on H Beach.
Holding the beautiful woman Xiao Chengcheng in my arms, the wind blows coolly on the Huangpu River.
The Peace Hotel discusses the victory and defeat, and tomorrow I will be the champion.
These are the lives that only a very few people can enjoy, and most people's YY, in which the violence and bloody killings are simply beyond the imagination and acceptance of ordinary people.
In later generations, some fairies fantasized that they could return to the "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" where the winds and clouds gathered, become a sought-after socialite, and enjoy a life of beauty and heroism.
However, these fairies did not consider the value of the word "socialite" in this era. They thought that socialites were the same as in later generations. A group of people shared a cup of coffee, rented a brand-name bag, wore a pair of socks, sat in a luxury car, took photos in a top hotel, and showed their high-end status to become self-proclaimed socialites?
This is pure dreaming. You should know that 98% of the socialites on H Beach at that time came from the homes of warlords, officials, ministers, wealthy businessmen, and literati.
Each of these socialites pushed out by their families is talented and can easily beat 99% of the women of that era.
Otherwise, they would not be qualified to be praised by the family at a high price by literati and celebrities, and promoted by newspapers and radio stations, and gradually become the face of the family.
This is just like the publicity of stars in later generations. If there is no publicity, who knows what this person does? Therefore, if you want to become a well-known and sought-after socialite, you must not only have a background, talent, but also financial resources.
Of course, the reason why these families of high officials, wealthy businessmen, literati, and wealthy people do this is to increase the reputation and convenience of their own families, and at the same time, they also hope that their daughters will bring a powerful marriage to the family in the future.
We will not talk about the most representative and successful families among them.
As for the remaining 2% of socialites, they are basically the real daughters of heaven. They have truly proud abilities, so they can make such a big name among the many socialites praised and promoted by their families.
Moreover, if ordinary women appeared alone and rashly in Shanghai at that time, they would most likely not have a good end.
This can refer to the fate of some women who ran away from Ermao's family after the conflict between Lao Maozi and Ermao in later generations. That was in the era of convenient communication and surveillance in later generations.
In the chaotic era before, those women who were alone were most likely to become targets of others.
If they were extremely beautiful, they would probably be tied up and sent as gifts, or they would be raped first and then sold.
If they were mediocre in appearance, it would be embarrassing. There was a high probability that they would be sent to places that increased taxes on the Shanghai market.
You should know that at that time, the three industries of tobacco, gambling, and CJ provided nearly half of the tax revenue in Shanghai.
In particular, the CJ industry was a major tax contributor. This industry was divided into ten levels according to age and appearance by the Q Gang, the umbrella, including book houses, long three halls, two, wild prostitutes, N wave halls, salty water girls, running halls, flower and smoke rooms, nail sheds, and salted meat shops.
As long as you are alone and are won over by them, there is always one of the above places that is suitable for you to go to.
This is also the reason why everyone would travel in groups when going on a long journey in the past, because it was too dangerous to be alone.

The reason why Han Li asked Hao Hongmin to go to school tomorrow was for her studies and to have a good look around this place where the winds and clouds gather.
There are countless forgotten treasures and jade beads containing various knowledge that can only be born by chance. Even though Han Li currently only has a mental coverage range of 10.25 meters, he wants to try it in his heart. As long as he finds it, he will earn it.
Although Hao Hongmin was reluctant to spend time with Han Li, she thought that she had already taken several days off. Tomorrow happened to be Monday. She would go back to school to make up for the classes in the past few days and deal with the teacher before taking leave again, which would make her more confident.
As for Li Yunzhi, she looked indifferent, but she was very interested in the home that Hao Hongmin was about to take back. The two of them got together and chatted.
With Han Li's guidance to Hao Hongmei, Hao Hongmin and Li Yunzhi had a day of communication and play, and now their relationship has become closer.
After dinner, he sent Li Yunzhi home first. When sending Hao Hongmin home, Han Li rejected her idea of leaving the bicycle to him. Only by walking would he have more chances to find what he wanted.
As for Hao Jingshi, Hao Hongmin will be in charge. Anyway, the house will be cleared the day after tomorrow. After cleaning, tidying up, and adding some furniture, they can move in in three or four days at most.
The next day, Han Li was still awakened by his biological clock. He stretched his muscles in the hotel room.
After washing, checking out, and having breakfast on the street, he began to wander around with a purpose.
Han Li started to wander south from the north of the Bund near the Szhou River today, but many buildings here are guarded, and the coverage range of 10.25 meters is really not good enough.
After Han Li walked around the Bund bit by bit, he started to wander west from Jinling Road.
Han Li wandered around the streets and alleys of Shanghai today. When he was hungry, he found a place to eat. When he felt a little dizzy, he found a place to rest. Even so, he didn't have much physical strength after a whole day, but his leather shoes and spirit were really a bit exhausted.
The heels of his leather shoes were worn off, and Han Li felt a little dizzy because he had been using his mental strength to maintain a high level of attention.
So Han Li had a simple dinner on the roadside, forced himself to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and after checking into the hotel, he didn't even care about today's gains, and fell asleep in a short while after lying on the bed.
The next day, when the sky outside was still dark, Han Li opened his eyes, stretched his muscles and bones, washed up, and began to count yesterday's gains.
Mao Sui will try his best to write another chapter today.
