From ancient times to the present, don't look at the merchants who have a lot of wealth and live a rich life, but the social status of the merchants has not been very high, and even poor scholars can despise the merchants.

Of course, no matter how low the status of businessmen is, they must be higher than ordinary people.

And an important reason why people despise businessmen is that businessmen dare to do anything for money, and if there is enough interest, they dare to betray the interests of the country.

No, the Lancer Division captured 3,000 Tatars from the steppes and brought them back, and some merchants set their sights on the women among the captives, intending to use them for the skin and meat business.

Under the rule of the People's Army, there are also Qinglou, but compared with before, the number of Qinglou has been greatly reduced, how can the businessmen who opened Qinglou be innocent, one check is accurate, and the People's Army can even ban all Qinglou every time it occupies a place.

If there is no way, how can any woman be willing to sell her body, even if she lives a hard life, she can live.

Either because their husbands are seriously ill and have no money for treatment, or they are abducted by others/traffickers, or they have committed crimes and are demoted to lowly status, for various reasons, they have to sell their bodies in exchange for money, and people are gradually numb.

When the People's Army came, they raided all the merchants who opened the Qinglou, and gave these women the opportunity to choose their lives again, they could move to a place where no one knew them, find an honest man to marry, and live a life of male farmers and female weavers, at least now there is no problem with having enough to eat.

Most of the women choose to start a new life, but there are also a small number of women who give up, they don't know how to live without the Qinglou, they feel that they are too dirty, and only the Qinglou can continue to accommodate them.

The People's Army handed over the ownership of the Qinglou to the women who remained, at least no one would oppress them in the future, and they would be able to live a easier life.

Under the rule of the People's Army, the number of green buildings in various places has been greatly reduced, but no matter what era it is, green buildings are indispensable, so there are businessmen who want to make money on green buildings, and they want to make a lot of money by opening green buildings.

The People's Army has not completely banned the Qinglou, but it has imposed various restrictions on the newly opened Qinglou and imposed heavy taxes, but it still cannot stop some businessmen from opening the Qinglou, but because there are basically no more women willing to enter the Qinglou, these businessmen's plan to make a lot of money through the Qinglou has completely failed.

As the news spread that the Lancer Division had captured 3,000 Tatars from the steppes, some merchants set their sights on the female captives, who seemed to them that these alien women could always be put in the Qinglou to sell their bodies.

More than a dozen businessmen went to the Bohai Institute to inquire, and the People's Army finally selected three chambers of commerce and handed over all the male captives who were adults and close to adulthood to these three chambers of commerce.

Within a few days of the 3,000 captives being sent to the Bohai Institute, the People's Army, which was in charge of managing the coolies, sent people to take away all the adult and near-adult males among the captives.

The rest of the captives were all handed over to the three chambers of commerce, which was completely free, and the actions of the People's Army made the owners of the three chambers of commerce very puzzled, and even worried that there would be some conspiracy in this, starving to death the timid to death the bold, the three chambers of commerce still accepted all the prisoners, and the People's Army also quietly told them a few words.

"All the prisoners you don't want are to be loaded on ships and sent to the islands we have designated, and you are not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately."

"The prisoners you need can be beaten and scolded, but they are not allowed to be disabled, let alone killed, they can be put in the Qinglou, or they can be ......"

At the same time, the proprietors of the three chambers of commerce also knew the reason why the KPA handed over all the captives to the three chambers of commerce for free, and the KPA would impose a heavy tax, which was terrifyingly high, but still did not stop the three merchants from doing this business, and asked the KPA to continue to hand them over after there were new Tatar prisoners.

Several merchants had already determined which Tatars to keep, all of them women, adult women and girls, and selected women with good looks and sent them to the Qinglou, women of average appearance were sold to large families as slaves, and women of poor appearance were sold to the countryside.

Soon, all the 3,000 captives held by Bohai were emptied.

In the future, the KPA will deal with captured aliens in the same way, and this kind of thing is not what the KPA should do, but with the development of people's wisdom in the future, it will have an impact on the prestige of the KPA, and the KPA will withdraw from these things as much as possible, and even in the future, the captives will not be detained by the KPA and sent away.

The KPA leadership would not pay attention to the matter of the prisoners, and if it were not for some use of some prisoners to the KPA, the KPA would not bring back a prisoner and let them be buried in the steppe with their tribes.

After a short break, the 1st Lancer Division left to devote itself to new training, and after a short period of half a month, the 1st Lancer Division will once again fight in the prairie, and the 2nd Lancer Division is also being formed rapidly, and it is expected that it will be completed in a month and enter the training state.

The training time for KPA recruits is often only three months, and even musketeers and artillerymen can be put into battle after three months of training.

But the lancers can't, the training time of the lancers will be up to half a year, and the lancers need to learn more, learn muskets, horsemanship, riding and slashing, etc.

According to the frequency of the 1st Lancer Division fighting in the steppes, it is expected that the 2nd Lancer Division has not yet completed its training, and the 3rd and even 4th Divisions will begin to be formed.

The People's Army's battle plan for the steppes had basically been decided, and now Wang Shengrong was setting more sights on Liaodong, where there were still two enemies, one was the Jurchens and the other was the Wakos.

Regardless of whether the other party invaded the land of China or not, as long as it is a foreigner, it is an enemy in the eyes of the People's Army, not to mention an ambitious foreigner.

The 100,000 People's Army has no problem holding Liaodong, and can even expand the territory, but at present, Fangnan does not have the idea of letting the People's Army expand the territory, even in the face of the enemy on the prairie, the People's Army only sends a lancer division to fight, rather than actually occupying a part of the area.

In addition to the Lancer Division, the KPA currently has two main tasks: one is to establish a direction in the area actually occupied by the KPA to resist the invasion of any foreign enemy, and the other is to sweep away the bandits and bandits in the areas occupied by the KPA.

If you want to expand your territory, you will not do it until the People's Army officially establishes the country.
