Chapter 1484: The Emergence of Piracy
This is also from Wu Meiniang's sincerity, she is one of the few people who appreciate Xiao Wuyi, if it were not for Xiao Shufei's layer of separation, it is estimated that they would be closer. But then again, if there is no Han Yi, Wu Meiniang will never hand over the Women's Federation Bureau to Xiao Wuyi, and her appreciation is just appreciation, although Wu Meiniang is good at discovering talents, but she will always take her own political interests as the premise, this is her consistent style, even if you have talent, if your standing in the court will damage her interests, then she will never use you, on the contrary, no matter how mediocre you are, if your existence is beneficial to her, then she will find ways to use you, it's that simple.
Because of Han Yi's existence, all this has become natural, the Women's Federation Bureau was also created by Han Yi, without Han Yi's help, who knows how to operate the Women's Federation Bureau, which is why the Women's Federation Bureau has not yet been established, Han Yi dares to determine Xiao Wuyi as the director, in Xiao Wuyi's body, Han Yi is extremely short-sighted, if you don't arrange Xiao Wuyi to be the boss, then Sister Wuyi will definitely not be happy, Sister Wuyi is not happy, Han Yi will be very unhappy, then if there is anything to find him in the future, he really won't agree.
Then Han Yi also believes that Xiao Wuyi can do this well, as long as this is what she wants to do, she will definitely do a very good job.
In fact, Xiao Wuyi is quite politically minded, but she is too lazy to use her brains, she likes happiness and enmity, not the intrigue in the court, if she has this mind, then she will become more like a vulture, not the female demon Xiao Wuyi, and the Women's Federation Bureau can help Xiao Wuyi realize her ambitions since childhood, she is really thinking very seriously about the problem of the Women's Federation, the only thing Han Yi intervenes in is the number of people and wages, and he does not intervene in the rest, just like Xiao Wuyi does not interfere in his affairs, This is a kind of trust, if Xiao Wuyi needs his help, then he will naturally come to him, and he doesn't need to talk about it on the sidelines.
And Han Yi pays more attention to Wu Meiniang's movements.
In fact, from Wu Meiniang's fanfare request to go home to worship her ancestors, it can be seen that one or two things come from.
In any case, the Wu family has always been a small surname, this is a fact that cannot be changed, and Wu Meiniang's days in her hometown are short and painful, full of sadness, you must know that their mother and daughter were driven out by the Wu brothers, fortunately they were relieved by the Yang family, otherwise, their mother and daughter would not be today.
Now Wu Meiniang is the queen, if this is an ordinary person, most of them will be biased towards the Yang family, this everyone can actually understand, even Han Yi has an obvious tendency to rely on the Xiao family, Han Yi did not stand on his own, he lived directly in the Xiao Mansion, no matter what kind of mentality he had, and even he has always called himself Tian She'er, but many people regard Han Yi as the person of the Lanling Xiao family, and the Lanling Xiao family also supports Han Yi very much. But Wu Meiniang didn't do this, her mother was an orthodox aristocratic background, but she didn't have a very close relationship with the Yang family, among her relatives, she still had close contacts with her mother and sisters, and almost all of the people under her hands were poor, it can be seen that she is proud, she advocates relying on her own struggle to get to the top, and looks down on the nobles in her heart.
The nobles over there also didn't accept her, especially the nobles in Guanzhong, which was a matter on the surface.
Therefore, the anti-aristocracy not only involves Wu Meiniang's political interests, but also has slowly formed Wu Meiniang's political ideals, and must crack down on the gate lord clan.
Don't look at the fact that there have been no major conflicts in the past two years, but it is all because of the influence of external forces.
Wu Meiniang has also been cautious, especially the eldest grandson Wuji is still alive now, but she knows that it is not possible to cut the mess quickly, the aristocracy has been formed for so many years, if it can be eradicated so easily, then Emperor Yang of Sui would have done this a long time ago, and he would not hide in Yangzhou, Emperor Yang of Sui is an emperor, and she is just a queen. Wu Meiniang chose the way to boil frogs in warm water, whether it was to support industry and commerce, or to establish Zhaoyi Academy, or to reduce official prostitutes, in fact, there were political considerations in this regard, she wanted to form a force from the court to the people, and form a force in all aspects to resist the aristocracy.
Because of the influence of the aristocracy, it is also all-encompassing, from ideology and economy to clothing and dressing.
Han Yi also knows that this is unavoidable, because the aristocracy has the principle of aristocracy, and most of the nobles will not be the same as Li Yifu no matter how down, wagging their tails and begging for mercy under your woman's skirt, this is a matter of principle, the same, Han Yi also has his own plans and his own interests, in this game, there are no absolute friends, and there are no absolute enemies, just to see if everyone's political interests are the same at the moment, maybe they are still allies today, and they will become enemies tomorrow, which is actually very realistic.
If you want to play true feelings, it is not suitable to play in the court.
Wu Meiniang and Han Yi didn't stay in Zhaoyi Academy for too long, not the same as at the beginning, Wu Meiniang also invited Li Zhi to support the scene, now there is no need for this, Zhaoyi College has long been famous, and now people want to come here to study with money, and they have more important things to do, Zhaoyi College is already formal, they won't spend too much thought on it.
Wu Meiniang went back to the palace directly, but Han Yi went to the Civil Security Bureau.
"I said the eldest grandson, young eunuch, your woman protection law hasn't been revised yet?" Han Yi came directly to Changsun Yan's office, and clearly wrote the complaint on his face, and the daylily was cold.
The eldest grandson Yan first moved the book on the table, otherwise he couldn't see Han Yi, he liked reading too much, and he liked this job too much, he was never the first one to get off work, he always had to leave after dark, seeing Han Yi's complaints, he frowned slightly and said: "This law is child's play, you have to act carefully." β
Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Of course I know this, but after being cautious, if it doesn't become a law, isn't it just a waste of time." "He's a businessman, he's done so much, and he's got to be rewarded.
Eldest Sun Yan was surprised: "Could it be that things have changed?" β
Han Yi said: "It's not that things have changed, but Your Majesty is going back to the queen's hometown with the queen to worship your ancestors, you have to hurry." β
Eldest Sun Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I also know about this matter, but I don't know what the relationship between the two is?" β
Han Yi said: "The relationship is big, if Your Majesty is not in Chang'an, then we report this revised law, it is completely up to the three provinces to decide, the three provinces are the sphere of influence of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu, do you dare to guarantee that they will let us pass smoothly?" And if you can't do this, then the Women's Federation Bureau can't be established, and this matter will change later, and you also know that many ministers are resentful. β
Eldest Sun Yan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Han Yi said: "Otherwise, you first set the main framework, let's submit it first, and then slowly add it, and give this matter down first." β
Eldest Sun Yan was very entangled and said: "But this is --- law!" β
He had always believed that the law concerned the people of the world, that it could not be decided lightly, that the slightest negligence could hurt many people, and that it had to be carefully thought out, tempered, and considered in all aspects before it could be promulgated.
Han Yi said: "I know, but there is no need to do it in one step, and the law is not perfect if you think it is perfect, this has to be promulgated to know, this can still be modified." β
Eldest Sun Yan groaned for a long time and said, "When are you going to ask for it?" β
Han Yi said: "The best thing is that in these two days, Your Majesty is about to leave Chang'an, I think Your Majesty will summon our important ministers into the palace in the near future and arrange our tasks, I plan to present it at that time, lest Your Majesty leave and Xu Jingzong and they will provoke again." β
Eldest Sun Yan was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Then I'll sort it out first and send it to your house tomorrow." β
"It's a deal."
After discussing with the eldest grandson, Han Yi went to Cheng Chuliang's office to sit for a while, Cheng Chuliang seemed to be a little fascinated by flying, pestering Han Yi to ask questions, Han Yi casually perfunctory a few words, and then left.
As soon as he got out of the gate, he saw a young man hurrying past the door.
"Wait for me!"
Then he saw that one of the people in front of him turned around and urged, "You should go faster, lest you run out." β
"It's not going to sell so fast, I heard that the pinyin list only came out today."
"But do you know that the teachers of Zhaoyi Academy let the students buy this pinyin table."
I almost forgot about it, Han Yi, who originally planned to go back to take his son, went to Dongshi again, and when he came to the street, he found that many people were hurrying to Dongshi, and he saw many people holding a brand-new pinyin table, while walking, "Ahhhhh
When I came to the Golden Book House in Dongshi, I saw that there were crowds of people inside, with a pinyin table in their hands, waiting for the checkout in front of the counter.
At the beginning, Chen San sold the pinyin table to Han Yi, after the modification of Han Yi, it was handed over to the printing workshop to start making, in fact, the engraving has already been done, this can be printed for a long time, even if it is with the best engraving, it will not be lost, but it has not been sent, Han Yi is planning to wait for the opening of Zhaoyi College to come to a wave, create a little atmosphere, and let the teacher of Zhaoyi College tell students to buy pinyin tables, now it seems, the effect is very good.
The biggest problem with pinyin is that someone has to teach you pronunciation, but there are only a few people who know pinyin, the existence of the pinyin table can allow parents to teach at home, look at the picture pronunciation, which is very helpful for the popularization of pinyin.
"Oops! Han Shangshu is here, please come in quickly. β
The shopkeeper of the bookstore suddenly saw Han Yi outside the door and hurriedly greeted him.
The rest of the people also saw Han Yi, some had to salute and scream, and some had to pretend that they didn't see it.
"Han Shangshu, please inside, please inside." The shopkeeper saw that he directly welcomed Han Yi to the back room and poured Han Yi a cup of hot tea.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Is this pinyin watch selling well?" β
"It's not bad, it's all crazy, fortunately, your Fengfeilou is well prepared, otherwise, it would have been sold out long ago." The shopkeeper said excitedly, "Han Shangshu, you are really powerful, just get a piece of cloth and draw some pictures on it, so many people rush to ask for it." β
Han Yi sighed and said, "Don't lift me up, this idea didn't come up with me, it was thought up by a student of our Zhaoyi Academy, but I spent hundreds of times to buy this idea back." β
"Student--- student? Small table... How many hundred? The shopkeeper was stunned.
Han Yi nodded and said: "So this year's talent is the most valuable, that student is only about ten years old, but he has earned hundreds of yuan, which is much more than his parents in their lifetimes." β
Can you still play like this?
The shopkeeper suddenly found that he couldn't understand this era again.
Han Yi asked casually, "Is business okay recently?" β
The shopkeeper said: "The business of our store has always been good, especially the Garden Dream and White Life and Death Love, which have always sold well, but in recent days, the books about the six studies of the sage have sold better, especially the book "A Detailed Explanation of the Young Confucius" by Li Taishi, which has been sold out of stock. But---! β
Han Yi frowned and said, "But what? β
The shopkeeper said: "I don't know Han Shangshu, you know, we have a lot of printing shops in Chang'an recently, and some of them are also secretly printing books, their printing technology and paper are not as good as ours, but they are also cheap, which has some impact on our business." β
Piracy? Damn, I seem to have overlooked that! Han Yi couldn't help frowning slightly, Feng Feilou's printing technology could not be completely secret, Feng Feilou was only kept secret by paper and ink, as for the movable type printing technique, it had already been circulated, and after a while, he only said: "I know." β
The shopkeeper secretly glanced at Han Yi and said, "Han Shangshu, I'm afraid that someone will imitate us soon." β
Han Yi said with a smile: "Pinyin tables are not mainly used to make money, or no one imitates them, people just draw a picture, but the benefits are still gained, Chang'an, Luoyang, and even all over the country, this wave of money belongs to us, this is enough, don't be too greedy." β
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.
......
On the second day, Changsun Yan came to Xiao's Mansion as promised, and handed over the sorted information to Han Yi, and after some discussion, Changsun Yan wrote and handed over the final content, otherwise, Han Yi would have to let Xiao Wuyi write it again, and I don't know if Xiao Wuyi is free now.
After the eldest grandson Yan resigned, Han Yi directly submitted the recital, and only one day in the past, Li Zhi summoned the cardinal minister to the palace to discuss matters, because he had to leave Chang'an for a while, so he had to arrange some matters, among which the imperial history platform was replaced by Wei Siqian Cui Yixuan, who had been bedridden for a long time.
After the ministers arrived, Li Zhi showed them Han Yi's performance, and he also hoped that before he left, the matter of the Women's Federation Bureau and the Women's Protection Law would be determined, so that they would not quarrel about this matter again when they got it, and they would have to be affected by them.
The main content can be divided into four points, one of which is the strict prohibition of prostitution. This ensured that the courtesans had the right to refuse to sleep with them. In addition, there is also a division of responsibility, forcing a courtesan to sleep with is illegal, and if the fake mother does not report it, she must be punished for the crime of joint sitting, and the punishment is a heavy penalty, and the heavy punishment is criminal responsibility.
Second, violence against women. This is not only about courtesans, but also about wives and concubines, that is, ordinary women, to ensure that women cannot be abused, which is illegal, and concubines cannot be abused. Of course, there are many classifications in it, and to determine what is abuse and whether there is criminal responsibility, this eldest grandson Yan has done it in great detail. It's a pity that slaves and maids are not among them, in fact, the most pitiful is slaves and maids, but slaves and maids are the core interests of nobles and ministers, and they belong to private property, just like livestock, and official prostitutes are still different, no matter how humble the official prostitutes are, they also belong to the public, of course, the public has the final say, and the household department wants to save expenses and reduce official prostitutes, which is justified, but if you want to go to other people's private property, then many people will not do it, and there is no legitimate reason, because even Tang Law stipulates that slaves and livestock are of the same nature, if you want to do this, It is very difficult to abolish this law in the first place.
Third, strengthen the control of human trafficking, no longer free trading, and this is mainly aimed at the sale of wives and children of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the slaves sold abroad do not care, because it belongs to trade, the imperial court is now encouraging trade, and the Tang Dynasty has always imported slaves, and if they are not exported, their own population will be small, how can there be a reason for export. And it is no longer possible to unscrupulously turn women of good families into courtesans, and turn good people into slaves. In particular, with regard to the sale of adult women, it must be carried out by the party who is sold voluntarily, otherwise, it is regarded as forced and is illegal, why focus on dividing men and women, that is, adult men who do not belong to slaves, there are very few cases of trafficking, men can work to support themselves, and everyone else sells daughters, not sons. But it doesn't matter whether the concubines, slaves, or exchanges between ministers and nobles are traded.
Fourth, it is strictly forbidden to sell children, and the imperial court will set up a shelter under the Women's Federation Bureau to specifically accommodate these children, but there are also prerequisites, the first is an orphan, and the second is that you must provide financial proof, indicating that you really can't afford to raise it, and the shelter will take it in, and if you are caught cheating, you will be subject to criminal punishment.
As for the third point, if the buyer does not go through the government, the buyer will also face a fine of three times the price, and the contract will be considered invalid.
As for the fourth point, shelters only exist in Chang'an, and they are not popular for the time being, because the local government does not have so much money and cannot afford to raise them, and the purchase and sale of local children can only be sold with the approval of the government, and they cannot be bought and sold freely, there must be restrictions, and if they can't afford it, there is no way.
This article basically circumvents the core interests of ministers and nobles, and it is a little impactful, and it is also in the violent abuse of women, but who is embarrassed to refute this, no matter how dark his heart is, he can't say it. As for strictly prohibiting prostitutes, nobles and ministers have to be concubines, they don't need prostitutes, they are pursuing confidants, if you are awesome, you go on a date, you can't be forced... Rape, and this is also the most fundamental reason for the Ci'en Temple case, that is, there is a persecutive relationship, and this cannot be objected to.
To sum up, the central idea is to oppose unnecessary harm to women.
Because the interests of the powerful have been taken into account in advance, everyone can accept it. Instead, I asked one or two questions about this shelter.
But this policy is out of the emperor's Confucianism, benevolent politics of the world, and moreover, the orphans who are taken in are obliged to repay, so everyone has not picked on the thorns, and no matter how stupid the minister is, he will not stop the emperor's benevolent government, and this can be operated and will not affect the financial situation.
It didn't take long to talk about it, and it was all passed, because Han Yi had already made compromises against these powerful people when he discussed it with the eldest grandson.
Next, Li Zhi arranged the task that he had been away for a long time, and it was very simple, that is, to perform his own duties, and to have the opportunity to let the prince participate in some simple government affairs, so that he could understand it and have an impression.
However, after the talk, Li Zhi only left Wei Siqian.
This move made the ministers very empty, and the Imperial Historical Observatory supervised them, and they could impeach the prime minister if they had nothing to do, and they had the power to hear the news.
But everyone also expected that Li Zhi was deliberately scaring them, suggesting that they should not quarrel, otherwise, Li Zhi would just talk to Wei Siqian secretly, but leave Wei Siqian in front of them, isn't this a intention to make them uncomfortable.
But this guess is guessing, this emperor's heart, who is sure, will inevitably have some apprehensions.
If Li Zhi deliberately scared them, then Li Zhi's trick was very successful.
