When he came out of the Sixth Courtyard of the Sage, it was already evening, but Han Yi did not go back to the Xiao Mansion, but went to the North Lane.

"Han Yi, you are here!"

When Liu E saw Han Yi, she was very excited.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I thought you would enjoy it very much, Sister Liu." ”

"Enjoy?" Liu E rolled her eyes and said, "I can't bear this!" Don't you know, the fake mothers in the middle and south lanes came to me to inquire about the news, and I didn't sleep all night yesterday. ”

"I know! Let's talk! ”

When she came to the house, Liu E was very excited and said: "Han Yi, I really don't understand what kind of plan you are planning to do, don't you forget, our North Lane is also in Pingkangli, what good is it for us to do this!" ”

Han Yi smiled: "As for why I did this, I don't plan to tell you, because I'm afraid you won't dare to listen, but if you want to listen, Sister Liu, I will also tell you." ”

Liu E's body trembled slightly, and she waved her hand again and again: "I don't want to know about this ---, but you have to tell me how to deal with Jia Simu and them." ”

Her character is to protect herself, she shouldn't know, even if you tell her, she will cover her ears, and what comes out of the palace is to understand the rules.

"That's what I'm here for." Han Yi smiled slightly, and said, "The imperial court does intend to rectify Pingkangli, but they don't need to panic, because this will make Pingkangli more prosperous." ”

Liu E was stunned, shook her head and said, "I don't understand this very well. ”

Han Yi sighed and said: "You still don't understand this truth, when there were many official prostitutes in the past, there was no need for officials to come to Pingkangli, after all, who doesn't like it for free, but if the official prostitutes are cut, then they only have Shangping Kangli." ”

Liu E said: "But the imperial court also wants to rectify Pingkangli?" ”

Han Yi said: "The main purpose of this rectification is to prevent crime, for example, forcing courtesans to sleep with others, and forcing good people to become prostitutes. ”

Liu E frowned slightly when she heard this, and said, "That is to say, it is true that the imperial court is going to ban prostitutes." ”

Han Yi said: "You can say so, you can also say not, courtesans are legitimate professions, dancing, singing, this is the same as doing things in a workshop, you take money, of course you have to do things, but buying murder is also taking money to do things, but this is illegal, in the same way, forcing others to sell their bodies is also illegal, immoral." ”

Liu E said: "Isn't this a ban on prostitutes? ”

Han Yi changed his words and said: "But are all the courtesans in the world all in the city, and don't they sell their art?" Many courtesans still have relationships with their guests, and many of them are voluntary, such as the relationship between courtesans and new jinshi, which is not illegal, because it is voluntary, but forcing courtesans to do that kind of thing, this is illegal, and the imperial court's definition of courtesans is singing, dancing, and playing the piano, not selling their bodies. ”

Liu E listened thoughtfully, there is still room for manipulation. Suddenly, he said, "Then --- if that's the case, why don't you go and tell them in person." ”

Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Of course I will meet with them, but there are some things that I can't say, because I am an official and I need you to tell them, that's why I'm looking for you, so when you talk to those fake mothers, don't tell them these words of mine directly, and you can't say that I said it, you have to tell them tactfully, but don't say it too clearly, let them figure it out for themselves." ”

"I --- I know!" Liu E wiped her sweat and nodded and said. She still doesn't understand this, but it's also from the palace.

Han Yi said again: "There is another thing, I want Simeng to help me deal with the affairs of official prostitutes." ”

Liu E blinked, as if she didn't hear clearly, and said, "What do you --- you say?" ”

Han Yi deliberately said loudly: "I said that I want to ask Simeng to help me deal with the matter of cutting official prostitutes." ”

"Are you crazy about this--- this?" Liu E was shocked when she heard this, and said: "The four dreams are just courtesans, you are on official business, how can they help you deal with official business, this is not good, this will never work, you are just nonsense." ”

Han Yi said: "Why can't it, they are just participating in this matter as my entourage, as an official, can't I let my entourage run errands?" ”

Liu E said: "But --- why did you do this? ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "There are some things that let women communicate with women be stronger than men to communicate with women, but I don't have women in the court, so I can only come to Simeng for help." ”

Liu E was puzzled: "I don't understand this, official prostitutes have a humble status, what you ask them to do, they have to do it, where they need to communicate." ”

Han Yi said: "It is precisely because of the humble status of official prostitutes that they are also very timid, I hope they can believe that I can make decisions for them, which requires someone to penetrate them and do ideological work with them." Forget it, forget it, I'll tell you the whole thing, so that you don't have to ask back and forth. ”

"No, no, how can I be qualified to know those things, I'll go find Simeng now." Liu E was so frightened that she waved her hand.

At this moment, Cha Wu's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Brother Xiaoyi, Zheng Gongzi and Yuan Gongzi ask to meet." ”

"Invite them in."

Han Yi said to Liu E again: "You go to Simeng first, tell them about this, and I will talk to them in person later." ”

Liu E nodded, and then walked out wiping her sweat.

Not long after she went out, Zheng Shanxing and Yuan Zhe came to the house, with a trace of curiosity and a hint of fear on their faces, no one wants to contact Han Yi now, this guy is too hateful.

"The two of you are here, please take a seat."

The two bowed, then sat down.

Han Yi said with a smile: "I asked the two of you to come today, because I have a great happy event to tell you." ”

Zheng Shanxing frowned and said, "It won't have anything to do with the reduction of official prostitutes, right?" ”

Han Yi ha: "It is worthy of Zheng Gongzi, and he will be right at the first guess." ”

Yuan Zhe shuddered when he heard this, and said: "Brother Han, you should know the principles of our Yuan family, and our Yuan family doesn't want to mix in this matter." ”

Zheng Shanxing also shook his head and said, "I don't want to get involved in this matter." ”

Han Yi said: "What? Could it be that Zheng Gongzi is also good at this? ”

"I'm not good at this, I also ----, but my Zheng family also has a lot of people who oppose this matter, and I also have my difficulties." Zheng Shanxing said with a bitter face.

Yuan Zhe looked curious and said, "We are just businessmen, what does this matter have to do with us?" ”

"Good question!" Han Yi said: "I will definitely not make trouble for the two of you, but there are good things to share with you, everyone is a businessman, this is not profitable, I still understand, I have always pursued a win-win situation." ”

"Really?"

Zheng Shanxing said suspiciously.

This Han Yi is too good at fooling, he doesn't dare to believe Han Yi's words easily.

"I'll tell you straight!" Han Yi said in a beautiful voice: "I know that the two of them are expanding very rapidly, and the pursuit of talents is getting higher and higher, just right, the imperial court plans to reduce the talents of official prostitutes, and you should also know the talents of those official prostitutes, but I plan to cheapen you for nothing and let them go to you to do things." ”

"Let official prostitutes come to our workshop to work?"

Yuan and Zheng said in unison.

This is something they didn't expect at all, almost everyone thinks that as long as the official prostitutes can be free, the court is already very kind, who would think about the future of these official prostitutes!

But soon the two looked at each other and began to ponder. Yuan Zhe said cautiously: "The talent of this official prostitute is what we lack, but this --- probably inappropriate, right?" ”

Han Yi said: "What's wrong, in fact, which woman yearns for the life of an official prostitute, they also want to live the life of an ordinary woman, whether it is better to lie in the arms of an old and ugly official and force a smile, or sit in the office and write a report, it depends on whether you are willing or not." ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "It's not impossible, but they have a lot of involvement with the officials of the DPRK and China, and if they come to work with us, I am afraid that there will be a lot more rights and wrongs." ”

"You can rest assured, I've already asked the Imperial Observatory to wait, and besides, I'll give them some colors to look at, in short, they have to get past me before they can find your trouble."

Han Yi said again: "Even if we don't talk about these, we are in business, now that the north-south trade has achieved considerable results, you also need to send additional people in the south, and the additional ones must be literate and literate, you can let them go to Jiangnan, who knows them there, not only have you got a group of talented right-hand men, they can also change their minds and be new people, it is really a double win." ”

Zheng Shanxing and Yuan Zhe glanced at each other. Zheng Shanxing said: "I can promise you this, but I have a request, it must be voluntary for them, we don't want what you forced us." ”

Yuan Zhe added: "In addition, we have to meet with them first, and not every official prostitute is suitable to go to the workshop to work. ”

"No problem!" Han Yi said: "If you don't say it, I will do the same." ”

Zheng Shanxing was curious again: "There are so many rich businessmen in Chang'an, why are you only looking for two of us?" ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "The power and reputation of the two of you are very high, but when I told you just now, you all felt inappropriate, not to mention other businessmen, but they are also very talented in this area, as long as someone takes the lead, they dare to participate." ”

"It turns out that you let us take the lead, and what kind of good thing you say." Zheng Shanxing didn't have a good airway.

Han Yi said: "You can also see it as a first-come, first-served basis, and you can take a step forward in doing business, so the difference is big." ”

Yuan Zhe smiled and said, "I'm in favor, but I have to go home and discuss it with the others." ”

Han Yi smiled: "There is no problem with this, but don't be too greedy, you will have to go." ”

Zheng Shanxing said with a smile: "You have even thought about the retreat of those courtesans, it seems that you are really here this time." ”

Han Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I can't help it, you two are also doing business, you should also know that the current industry and commerce in Chang'an are extremely lacking in talents who can read and write, and official prostitutes are a very perfect supplement to industry and commerce, and staying in the imperial court is a hundred harms and no benefits." ”

"Is that all?" Zheng Shanxing asked with a smile.

Han Yi said: "Another point is that now is not the time to enjoy, and no one is qualified." ”

Zheng Shanxing said it well, after Han Yi got the emperor's permission, he didn't move for a long time, but has been making preparations, he is playing real this time.
