Zhu Wencong is someone who enjoys combining business and pleasure. He aims not only to win over the current Qinhuai Oiran but also to recruit more talent for his company.
The Imperial Examination has already destroyed the current generation of scholars, and ruining these women would be an even greater sin; they should have a brighter future.
Such a large number of highly educated individuals cannot all be confined to the single path of officialdom, as various industries are now facing a shortage of talent.
Either offer high salaries to foreigners or cultivate your own talent; the costs would skyrocket, rendering many merchants unable to bear them.
In addition to poaching the Oiran, Zhu Wencong wants to use their influence to change the mindset of scholars and encourage them to give up pursuing official careers as early as possible.
Those scholars may appear arrogant, but they listen to famous courtesans; after all, no hero can resist the charm of a beautiful woman.
