Chapter 55: Folk Customs

It is simply unheard of for the students and officials of the "administrative school" to fight for official prostitutes!

In the lobby of the Xuanfu Division, Li Ruoxu and Ma Kuo both looked at each other, and then shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"Who is this Liu Yiyi, and who opened the "Cuiyun Building"?"

Wang Song's words made Li Ruoxu, Ma Kuo and others stunned, and Li Ruoxu immediately smiled:

"Xianggong, you are not a woman, you admire it. These trivial matters of official prostitutes must not be taken to heart. Cuiyun Lou is a government-run wine shop, and Liu Yiyi is also an official prostitute who is subordinate to him, and he is under the control of the Inspection Department under the Jiaofang. The inspection department specializes in wine warehouses and is in charge of wine trading. Since there are dozens of official prostitutes in the restaurant, the official prostitutes are also under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Department. ”

Ma Kuo nodded and said: "The Great Song Dynasty wine is a monopoly, and the government wants to increase the income from selling wine and fill the treasury, so it selects official prostitutes to go to the government-run wine shops to play and sing to attract guests to buy wine and drink." The wine color is charming, the wine shop business is prosperous, the sound of singing and laughing, every night and night, often connected with the chariots and horses, although the wind and rain, summer and snow, a lot of reduction. In Tokyo, Fengle Building, Nanwai Building, Pan Building, Chunfeng Building, etc. are all official wine shops. Wealthy businessmen and literati are not among the frequent visitors. ”

"How much money does it cost to eat flower wine once?"

Wang Song nodded, and couldn't help but think of Master Li. In this way, Master Li is also an official prostitute.

"How much does it cost?"

Zhu Mengshu shook his head and said: "Drinking, rushing, responding, selling, crossing the street sedan chair, etc., there is no dozens of money, I don't want to see a beauty." If you want Pomeranian to smile and be a guest of the curtain, Baiguan is also common. ”

Wang Song couldn't help but be dumbfounded. The people's income in a month is only two or three times, and many people still don't have enough to eat, but these people spend a lot of money and spend the people's savings for several years or even decades in a casual day.

Seeing Wang Song's dumbfounded appearance, Zhu Mengshu continued: "Just like Tokyo City, official prostitutes are divided into three classes. The high-class people live in a spacious and quiet place, each has three or four halls, the prostitutes are multi-literate, good at talking, but also balance the characters, deal with the degree, the visiting literati, the children of Tokyo, the servants and horses are prosperous, and the banquet is extravagant. ”

"Then there must be inferiors and inferiors?"

"Xianggong, naturally there are inferior and inferior."

Zhu Mengshu continued: "The inferior ones are both beautiful and artistic, silk and bamboo orchestras, beautiful songs and dances, salty and fine, and those who seek pleasure are all scribes and noble children, and those who have eyes will visit their homes and feast." Most of the inferior people live in the north of the city to "follow the wall", and their color and art are slightly poor, and their livelihood is not easy. ”

Li Ruoxu nodded and said, "What Brother Zhu said is very true. The official prostitutes sang and danced at the official banquet to help drink, and the second was to solicit business in the government-run liquor store, just like the matter of "Cuiyun Building". In addition, there are also official prostitutes, camp prostitutes, and market prostitutes in various places, and the number of people is innumerable. ”

Wang Song was stunned for a long time and was silent. It is related to the tax of the Xuanfu Division and the military and political expenditures, and this wine tax revenue is not a small amount.

"How many official prostitutes are there in the Daimyo's mansion, and how many camp prostitutes and city prostitutes are there, is there an approximate number?"

After a long time, Wang Song raised his head.

Li Ruoxu nodded and said: "Back to the prime minister, official prostitutes and camp prostitutes are registered, and the inspection department will know it as soon as they check it." The following officials guessed that there were at least a few thousand people. As for the city prostitutes, it is impossible to count, there are countless of them. ”

"There are also big cities in Tokyo City, Taiyuan City and other prefectures and counties."

Zhu Meng said: "Although it is said that the Jin people went south, the imperial court moved south, and many official prostitutes from the north went to the south, but there were not a few who stayed. Roughly counted, there are tens of thousands of people. ”

"Zhu Gong and Li Gong, according to what you two say, these literati and wealthy businessmen have spent so much silver, where did all the money go?"

Wang Song wondered in his heart, the officials' salaries were all issued by the Financial Secretary, why not

See how profitable is this restaurant?

"Xianggong, the restaurant is a gold cave, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, the bustard's mother, and the errand boy took Dacheng, and the rest belonged to the official prostitute. Most of the official prostitutes who are good at sex and art are not worth anything, and they have a lot of money, and they can generally support themselves. ”

"How can it be!"

Wang Song slapped the table and stood up.

"The wine is rich and the world is sluggish, no wonder the Jin people are invincible when they go south. The income of the people's hard work was eventually consumed by this "wine-colored" business, and there was no money for enriching the country and strengthening the army! Really, the beauty is a thousand songs, and I still feel like I have tricks. Yes, yes, yes!"

Officials are addicted to alcohol, how can they have the energy to be busy with political affairs! Wine costs a huge amount of money, the wind of luxury is getting stronger, corruption and bribery, and the abuse of power for personal gain are inevitable. How can such an official, such a deformed world, have a martial style!

At this time, Wang Song couldn't help but miss the era when there were no official prostitutes and no corruption and bribery in later generations. People have seven emotions and six desires, and they can also choose their own path in life. However, if there is a black hand behind the woman of a good family, this is a crime, and it is the responsibility of the government.

Even in times of peace, we cannot allow the world to decline to such a state. The people have worked hard for a year, and the hard-earned money they earn is only exchanged for a glass of flower wine, and they are half-nightly romantic, so don't be so sad.

"The Jin people are on the side, and the people are still hungry, but these people are happy in the rear. It's really tight at the front, tight at the rear, and if it goes on like this, it will be the defeat of the army and the destruction of the country!"

Wang Song's face turned pale, and he said loudly: "The students who drink flower wine and fight are expelled, the officials belittle, and both are registered and will never be hired!"

The state of Chinese civilization, the land of Yaoshun, when did it become a paradise for Qinglou to buy drunk!

If you want to do learning, study Chinese culture, and go back to your own home, do you have to be on the wine table, under the sound of glamour, and on the woman's bed to be able to enjoy and sing in a low voice?

When Cao Cao was "a martyr in his twilight years, his heart was strong", he didn't see him going to the beauties' tent, and the wine was full of fun.

Li Taibai's "drawing a knife to cut off the water is more flowing, and raising a glass to eliminate sorrow is even more sorrowful", which is completely heartfelt, and there is no need for wine.

Du Fu "has tens of millions of mansions, and the poor people in the world are happy", and some are just worried about the country and the people.

When Yue Wumu wrote "Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood", he generously struck the knots and rushed to the crown angrily. I didn't see him on the couch of the beauty, drinking and having fun, galloping up and down.

When the great man made "hitting the water in the middle stream, the waves curbing the flying boat", he was faced with the vast earth, the mountains were red all over, and the forests were dyed.

When our scholars and scribes were "like water, Wu salt was better than snow, and slender hands broke new oranges", the tiger and wolf clan in the north was already eyeing the tiger, and they were ready to go south at any time.

When Zhao Ji was intoxicated with the "thin gold book" of "making up the spring breeze and smiling at the young gold", the iron horse of the golden man had already broken through the border plug of the north and rolled south.

"Liang Yuan sings and dances, and the wine is like a knife to relieve sorrow. I remember how happy the youth was, and the lights were on the alum tower in the middle of the night", the alum tower was full of lights, light singing and dancing, drunk gold fans, the Jurchen iron cavalry was already under the city, and the people were displaced and miserable.

"Xiang Gong, several students of the "Administrative School", there are a few of them, their families are all famous scholars in Hedong, Hebei, Han Zheng is still the descendant of Han Qi, the king of Wei County, Xiang Gong, do you see if it is ......"

Facing Zhu Meng's eager gaze, Wang Song nodded and said: "All the students who fought and brawled were expelled, let them go back to their hometowns and think about it, and they will not be allowed to take the exam for two years." As for the official, he was demoted to a commoner, and he was checked again to see if he had taken bribes and harsh the people. ”

"Han Zheng, if a few of them are willing to go to the army, let them follow

Soldiers start. The army is a good place to mold their bodies and souls, depending on whether they are willing or not. ”

Wang Song relented again, which can be regarded as giving young people a way to live.

"But ......"

Wang Song Zhengse said: "It is necessary to inform the "Administrative School" and "Lecture Hall" that all students are strictly prohibited from prostitution, and violators will be expelled from the school and severely punished!"

Just when everyone thought it was over, Wang Song's next words shocked them.

"Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds. The extravagant wind of Qinglou must not spread under the rule of my Xuanfu Division, especially at this critical juncture when the country is ruined!"

Wang Song looked at everyone and said categorically: "From now on, let all the official prostitutes and camp prostitutes registered under the rule of Xuanfu Si be good, and all restaurants and restaurants and goulan tiles are not allowed to show up Yingying Yanyan." Find one, raid one, and show no mercy!"

"Xianggong, this ......"

Zhu Meng said with a sad face, shook his head and said: "Xianggong, the official prostitutes, camp prostitutes, and city prostitutes in these two places combined, I am afraid there are tens of thousands of people. If they cut off their financial routes, I am afraid that it will cause riots. I've got to figure out a way. ”

What Zhu Gong said was very true. The Xuanfu Division has to find a way out for them. ”

Wang Song nodded, pondered for a while and said:

"All official prostitutes, camp prostitutes, and city prostitutes, the Xuanfu Department provides three months' rations and allows them to fend for themselves. Official prostitutes and camp prostitutes selected those who are good at sex and art are incorporated into the drama club as government employees. ”

"As for all the other women's ......, the military will come forward and select some hard-working people for training and be included in the ranks of military doctors and nurses."

"Then there are the factories and workshops, and if these people are willing to go, they will be placed in. If you don't want to go, then leave it to your own devices, no one can control it. ”

Li Ruoxu said in a deep voice: "Xianggong, in this way, the tax brought by selling wine will be greatly reduced, which is not necessarily a good thing for the current wealth of the Xuanfu Division."

"If this sluggish trend continues, my China will definitely be sluggish. The wind of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the dissolute skeletons, the pure talk and inaction, the feminization of men, the smearing of grease and whitewash, then there were five indiscriminate China, and China was almost extinct. Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty set up a pear orchard, concubines and palace prostitutes, singing and dancing officials sought pleasure and ignored political affairs, Yuyang drums, and the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty came to an abrupt end. ”

He took a sip of his tea and continued.

"As for today, let alone today!"

"To govern the military with culture, officials, big and small, including sergeants, soak in the pile of fat powder all day long, facing the Jurchen iron cavalry, there is no reason to be invincible!"

Wang Song shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The law is clear, officials are not allowed to keep domestic prostitutes, violators will be dismissed and investigated, and they will never be hired!"

Raise so many prostitutes, and you have to go to the Qinglou to fool around, and I don't want to see if you have that good kidney!

In the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty, in the Daimyo Mansion in Beijing, on the execution ground, the heads were rolling, and the heads of 26 officials of various departments who were investigated and punished for collusion between officials and businessmen were in different places; More than a dozen officials involved in this case left their posts in a hurry, and more than 30 people involved in the case were imprisoned.

Huang Ziye, the shopkeeper of "Huangji Restaurant", He Wenhui, the shopkeeper of "Shuzhong Rice Shop", and others were forced to make up the taxes, pay fines, and were officially registered as profiteers with bad behavior, and were banned from business for three years.

Hu Youzhi, an official of the yamen of the prefect of the Daimyo Prefecture, bent the law for bribes, accepted bribes, and openly competed with his students for robbery of official prostitutes, and was imprisoned for three years.

Six students of the "Administrative School" got into fights, openly robbed official prostitutes, were expelled from school, and were not allowed to take the official examination for two years.

News came out in the newspaper that everyone under the rule of the Xuanfu Division was in danger, the atmosphere of officialdom changed, and the phenomenon of tax evasion and prostitution were almost extinct for a while.
