Chapter 218: Qinglou Reform

Chen Liu listened to it and said respectfully: "Miao, if you have a firm foothold in the Qingmu River, then if you attack the Qing army in the future, you can flank from two directions." However, if a large number of troops go to the Aoki River, presumably the Qing army will not do anything. After all, Shanxi is already close to Beijing, and it has threatened the safety of Beijing. ”

Liu Xia said: "I have considered this, and now the Qing army should not act rashly, even if they send troops to encircle and suppress, I believe Liu Dazhuang will be able to deal with it." If it really doesn't work, come back. ”

"When is the prince going to let them go to the Aoki River?"

Liu Xia said categorically: "Today, I will send an order to Yu Mingjun and Liu Dazhuang, and let the two of them go to the Qingmu River." After going to the Qingmu River, he can transport back the women, cattle and sheep captured by Zhang Yang at any time, of course, you can also give the women directly to those soldiers first, and let Liu Dazhuang hold a wedding for the soldiers who got women, let them enter the cave room, and then settle the women in Shaanxi the next day. ”

Chen Liu's face showed joy when he heard this, he didn't expect Liu Xia to be so humane, many soldiers may not have tasted a woman from birth to death in battle, some people just find some prostitutes to put out the fire, few of them have families, because they don't know when they will die. Liu Xia's move not only solved their libido problem, but also allowed them to leave their bloodline, and if they returned home victoriously, they would have a wife at home.

"The general's move, the soldiers will definitely be grateful to the general."

Liu Xia waved his hand a little embarrassed.

"By the way, how many Qinglou are there in the jurisdiction of our Pingbei Army?"

Chen Liu looked at Liu Xia with a little consternation, and said, "The general asked what Qinglou was doing, could it be that you want to learn Huizong?" When Liu Xia heard this, his face suddenly became annoyed, and he said, "How can this king be like this?" This king decided to rectify the Qinglou, now the Qinglou is too chaotic, many of them are forcing women from good families to prostitution, it is really hateful, if you don't govern it, every day I don't know how many women will fall into hell. Liu Xia knows that it is impossible to cancel the Qinglou now, there must be a lot of people who oppose it, and it is not very realistic, after all, there are some women who want to make money from their own flesh and skin, even if they want to eliminate the Qinglou, they have to take their time, and boil the frog in warm water, not cut it with a knife. There is also the matter of improving the status of women Liu Xia decided to leave it to future generations to deal with, because this issue is too sensitive, now the Ming Dynasty is rampant with scholars, and all kinds of persecution of women are regarded as classics, even if Liu Xia has millions of soldiers and horses in his hands, but he can't reverse the status of women at once, maybe the millions of soldiers and horses under his command will rebel.

Chen Liu shook his head and said, "The general's subordinates really don't know, and it is estimated that no one knows, but if it is said that the Qinglou in Luoyang City, the subordinates know a thing or two." Liu Xia suddenly showed ill-intentioned eyes when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It turns out that military advisors often go in and out of Fengyue places!" Liu Xia's voice fell, and Chen Liu's old face suddenly turned red.

Since following Liu Xia, although Chen Liu became rich and noble, Chen Liu also married a wife, but did not take a concubine, and in the same way, at this time, Chen Liu's wife is now pregnant, so naturally he can't do things in the room, so Chen Liu had to go to Fengyue place to relax occasionally, in ancient times, it was not a shame to enter and leave the Qinglou, and many officials often haunted here.

"Ahem, I don't know how the general is going to rectify it?" Chen Liu hurriedly changed the topic and didn't let Liu Xia tease him.

Liu Xia said: "This king is ready to ban all the Qinglou for the record of the official government and the form of small workshops, and all the women in the Qinglou for the record." At the same time, no one within the jurisdiction is allowed to buy or sell human beings, but they can sign a 'labor contract' labor contract is to recognize the relationship between the two as master and servant, but they enjoy the same treatment in the government, and the specific situation is similar to that of today's servants and masters. However, servants are also citizens and enjoy various civil rights, and the killing of servants by the master must also be carried out in accordance with the law.

However, if the labor contract is signed, it can only be agreed to by the person, and no one else, even his parents, can be controlled, and once it is discovered, it will be punished as the crime of human trafficking. At the same time, if the Qinglou recruits a new woman, it must apply to the government, and the government will hand over the information to the Investigation Division, so that the Investigation Department can verify that the woman is not bought and sold, and then obtain her consent, the woman can enter the Fengyue place, and all the profits of the Qinglou need to be paid to the national tax. "Liu Xia wants to loot the high profits of the Qinglou, Chen Liu's first reaction was when he heard it, but Liu Xia's move did protect women to a certain extent, which no one can ignore.

Chen Liudao: "The general's move will definitely make many people oppose it, after all, it involves the interests of many people. Especially those big families, although most of the big families have been torn apart by our arrests and other means, they are still a powerful hidden force. ”

Liu Xia frowned and said, "Find Rui Junai, Zhang Wenyuan, and Li Suran." Liu Xia shouted to the guards outside. Liu Xia's idea is really simple, and he didn't think about whether others would resist, but even if he rebelled, he didn't care, what was the hardest thing in China? It must be to hit the landlord class, and then let the peasants divide the land of the landlord class equally, which has not been solved by any dynasty in history, because a move will involve the interests of many people, and if it moves, it will definitely attract many people's resistance.

However, Liu Xia was not until the beginning of the establishment of Great China, but the landlords were really beaten, and the peasants did get the land, which shows that only if you are determined that any difficulties will be overcome, it just depends on whether the politics dare to implement it.

After a while, Rui Junai hurriedly came to Liu Xia's study, and then Li Suran, the chief of the Civil Affairs Department, and Zhang Wenyuan, the chief of the Investigation Department, also followed in: "My subordinates visit the prince." ”

"Well, get up, military advisor, and tell them what the king said just now." After Liu Xia said that, Chen Liu stepped forward and told the three of them what Liu Xia had thought just now.

Li Suran, the chief of the Department of Civil Affairs, rarely saw Liu Xia, this is because Liu Xia basically knows Rui Junai about people in civil affairs, and Liu Xia is not very familiar with other people, so he is looking for Rui Junai to solve anything.

"Lord Wang, this will definitely be resisted by many people." Li Suran raised his concerns.

Liu Xia nodded and said: "It will be resisted by many people, and this king knows, so he let Wen Yuan come over, Wen Yuan, you are the head of the Investigation Department, and the task of your Investigation Department is to assist the Civil Affairs Department and the officials of Luoyang Mansion to implement the order, if it doesn't work, you can also temporarily mobilize the local garrison army, if it doesn't work, tell this king, this king will send a personal guard brigade over!" The more Liu Xia spoke, the tougher his tone became.

"This king personally took the lead, and all the deeds of sale of all the servants were abolished, and they were replaced with 'labor contracts', which were implemented by your officials at all levels at one time." Although most of the contents of this labor contract are similar to the deeds of sale, they add human rights, as well as the rights of servants, and the rights of life.

After reading the labor contract made by Liu Xia, Li Suran and others breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, this change is not too big, and it should be acceptable. This is acceptable, but it is not allowed to buy and sell people, I am afraid that many people will not be able to accept it, and the reform of the Qinglou will definitely encounter stumbling blocks, after all, under normal circumstances, there are definitely people behind the Qinglou that can be opened, otherwise it would have been smashed a long time ago.

"Lord Wang, the matter of this Qinglou may be a little complicated." Li Suran didn't have much contact with Liu Xia, but he knew that the people Liu Xia killed could go around Luoyang City a few times.

Liu Xia frowned, and said with a gloomy face: "No matter how difficult the Qinglou is, it must be rectified by this king, if anyone dares to obstruct the investigation department from investigating it immediately, if you dare to resist, then don't blame this king for being polite." ”

Looking at Liu Xia's gloomy face now, Li Suran was covered in cold sweat behind him, because he was the person behind a green building in Luoyang City, he swore that after he went back, he must first reform his green building, and he must not let the people from the investigation department find him, and now that he has just climbed to this high position, he doesn't want to be arrested and imprisoned by Liu Xia.
