In the afternoon, Pingkangli's fake mothers came to the Civil Security Bureau one after another, all of them were full of worry, and they were empty-hearted, because none of them were innocent in this business, and their innocence had been eliminated.

The CAS Royal Police arranged for them to sit in the cafeteria.

After the number of people arrived, Han Yi was late, and he took the time to make up for a nap.

"See Han Shangshu for folk women."

A fake mother trembled and saluted Han Yi.

Han Yi said with a smile: "It's all neighbors, you don't need to see the outside like this, just sit down." ”

When those fake mothers heard that Han Yi took the initiative to get close to them, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sat down, but they were still very nervous.

Han Yi stood in front of them and said, "Actually, I wanted to talk to you in Fengfeilou, but after all, this matter is led by the imperial court, and it is not appropriate to talk about it in Fengfeilou, so I invite you to come here, I hope this move does not put pressure on you." ”

"No--- no!"

Jia Simu said in a trembling voice.

This isn't there yet? Han Yi almost laughed out loud and said, "I know that everyone is very busy, in fact, I am also very busy, so I won't greet you, let's talk straight to the point." I'm sure you all know why I'm looking for you, because the case of the Temple of Mercy and Grace has a very big impact, so the imperial court intends to rectify Pingkangli to avoid a similar situation. Maybe you are thinking in your hearts that the court is going to cut you down. Isn't it? ”

"I --- us--- we didn't --- didn't think so."

"Then why are you shaking so much?"

"This --- this ---!"

"Okay, it's really tiring to listen to you, so you better listen to me."

Han Yi waved his hand and said, "Is this a test?" Yes, of course, but it is also an opportunity for you, depending on how you look at it. But I think it's settled, and you can't change anything, so you should look at the good side. You must be very puzzled in your hearts, this tightening of control, it is really a hundred harms and no benefits, where is the good side? But this is not the case, the imperial court does not want to ban the Qinglou, but only to prohibit some illegal activities in the Qinglou.

And the only thing that doesn't need to be rectified in Pingkang is my Fengfeilou, not that Fengfeilou is mine, so there is no need to rectify, but our Fengfeilou never does illegal things, Fengfeilou has a very obvious difference from your compound, which you should know very well in your hearts. But the benefits obtained by our Fengfeilou are far more than yours, what does this mean? ”

"It shows that Han Shangshu is very good at trading." Jia Simu said with a courteous face.

"Don't be a sycophant."

Han Yi glared at her, and said, "Don't be so superficial, okay?" This only shows one point, that is, Qinglou does not need to rely on flesh and skin, and can also make money, the prostitute set has long been outdated, you should learn from Feng Feilou and upgrade. As far as buying and selling are concerned, those who like prostitutes are people who don't have much money, people who are really tasteful, come from wealthy families, like women with talent, temperament, and character, and even look secondary, you should know how much money prostitutes can bring you?

The success of Huayuelou's transformation, you all see it in your eyes, how much money do people make when they act in a drama, how much money do they make, the famous prostitutes under Cao's fake mother, accompany people to have a meal, how much profit they have, and make money completely on skin and flesh, they are all out of the stream, and they should be eliminated. It is conceivable that the ban on prostitution in the imperial court will instead prompt you to upgrade your industry. ”

A fake mother said: "But we don't understand Feng Feilou's set." ”

Han Yi said: "I will help you upgrade, you also know that we have built a big theater near Qujiang Pond in Fengfeilou, which is specially used for singing and dancing performances, Fengfeilou will cooperate with you to let your courtesans go there to perform, talent is the most promising way out in the future, prostitutes can't make much money." ”

These fake mothers were immediately overjoyed when they heard this, why Cao Xiu's transformation was so successful, isn't it because Huayuelou cooperated with Fengfeilou at the beginning, which is why there is today's Huayuelou, and Fengfeilou cooperates, so there is no loss.

Han Yi also has no way, if you want to completely ban this industry, it is impossible, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, knowing that they are not good people, he also has to help them, because even if they are killed, they will definitely not be good birds if they come out in the future, it is better to use them, at least they are easy to control.

Jia Simu said: "Han Shangshu, this --- prohibits prostitutes, and I --- and I agree with it, but we can't prohibit it, and many of our courtesans are voluntary...... This----. ”

Obviously, I talked to Liu E.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Of course, courtesans over the age of sixteen can be voluntary, but it is not okay for courtesans under the age of sixteen, you must protect them, if you find that there is oppression in them, you can't." ”

"But we're just a humble false mother, and we can't afford to mess with our guests!"

"You can rest assured, the guest is violent, it is a guest breaking the law, you just need to report to the Civil Security Bureau immediately, but if you conceal it and do not report it, then you will also be punished."

Han Yi said and continued: "I might as well tell you that the imperial court will give you many restrictions on you fake mothers, first of all, you must let all the courtesans in your courtyard register with the Civil Security Bureau and replace them with the contracts drawn up by the imperial court. ”

All the fake mothers were stupid, "The contract drawn up by the imperial court? ”

Han Yi nodded and said: "That is, the courtesan contract, the contract will clearly stipulate that the courtesa has the right to refuse to dedicate herself, and you must protect the health of the courtesan, if the courtesa is sick due to work, you must be fully responsible, and then come, the courtesa has the right to redeem herself, but the contract can first give the redemption price." In the future, every time you recruit a courtesan, you will have to register with the Civil Security Bureau, otherwise you will have to pay a very high fine.

This is also to prevent you from forcing good people to become prostitutes, I can tell you very clearly that forcing good people to become prostitutes will be the direction of the imperial court's key rectification, and the court will not investigate what happened in the past, but if it happens again in the future, it will not be as simple as a fine, but a criminal offense. Moreover, the imperial court decided to set up a women's federation bureau, which is dedicated to speaking for women. ”

A fake mother looked at each other when she heard it, this is weird and terrifying!

They are all used to being free, because the Tang Dynasty is very open in this regard, not only does not care, but connives, and suddenly restricts them like this, can they be honest in their hearts.

But then again, it was much better than they had expected, at least the court didn't nail the rules to death at all, and still left them some chances, and Han Yi also promised to help them complete the transformation.

In fact, where does Han Yi want to this hollow, but there is no way, his changes are often from the bottom up, cutting official prostitutes, just to give the imperial court an excuse to control Pingkangli, in fact, his fundamental purpose is to dominate the private Qinglou industry, in order to influence the imperial court and officials, otherwise, official prostitutes will soon be able to resurge.

He hoped to lead prostitutes to geisha, not to prostitutes, not to sell, but to art, even if they had to do something that was not suitable for children, then they had to bear the halo of art, a lot more, at least much more than simply selling meat. In fact, this is also in line with the market of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty looked for flowers and asked willows, not to see the appearance, figure, but talent and character, which is also related to the open-mindedness of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Han Yi directly takes the high-end route to cater to this part of the guests, but it is more promising.

It is conceivable that after the reduction of official prostitutes, Pingkangli's business will definitely be very good, which is an opportunity for Pingkangli, but the premise is to follow the route set by Han Yi.

After communicating with these fake mothers, Han Yi's task is almost the same, and the next work is to be handed over to Di Renjie and them. He is responsible for setting the framework, and the rest is left to the people below. He took a day off with himself, rested for a day in the Xiao Mansion, and went to the Yuanjia Garden to communicate with the officials who were going to the northwest. After staying there for two days, Han Yi returned to Taichang Temple.

"Only one hundred and sixty-one people are willing to stay?"

When Han Yi heard this number, he looked at Di Renjie in a little surprise.

Di Renjie nodded and said, "And those who are willing to stay are ---。 ”

"What?"

"It's all some people who are not talented, but they just rely on ---, are inferior official prostitutes anyway." Di Renjie seemed to be a little difficult to speak.

Han Yi looked at Meng'er on the side again and said, "Meng'er, have you communicated with them?" ”

Meng'er nodded and said, "I think they are because of low self-esteem, because their talents are mediocre, and they can only rely on ...... When I talked to them, they were very scared of the outside world and didn't want to go out. It's those talented sisters who yearn to get out of here. ”

Han Yi nodded, looked at Di Renjie again, and said, "Then how many people hope that we can help them change their names and surnames, as well as find jobs." ”

Han Yi said: "There are more than 500 of them, who hope to change their names and leave Chang'an. In addition, according to Dream Niangzi, there are more than 200 people who want to go to Fengfei Tower. ”

Han Yi looked at Meng'er and said, "More than two hundred people, are you here to raise them?" ”

Meng'er hurriedly said: "Brother Xiaoyi, you misunderstood, they just want to act in dramas, they want to be like us, but they are embarrassed to say that they want to continue to be courtesans, so they say they want to go to Fengfeilou." ”

"That's pretty much it!" Han Yi nodded slightly, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Now the number of people who are willing to stay is far less than three hundred, do you have any ideas?" ”

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "Many of them are family members of criminals, they are here to forgive their sins, and their talents are very good, I think according to their crimes, some people can be left." ”

Cui Jiji, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly glanced at Di Renjie.

Han Yi nodded, suddenly looked at Cui Jijian and said, "Hey, from Yushitai, what do you think?" ”

Cui Jijian said: "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Han Yi said: "Anyway, it's boring to sit here, let's talk about the day, what's the matter?" ”

Cui Jijian said: "Isn't the palace also going to cut palace prostitutes?" ”

"Clever!"

Han Yi snapped his fingers, and said to Di Renjie: "Although your idea is good, but you ignore one point, that is, these official prostitutes have a very close relationship with officials, especially those with good talents, and Taichang Temple will also make some changes, such as saying that it is strictly forbidden for official prostitutes to stay in bed, you also have to keep those talented official prostitutes, which will soon resurge, the best way is to send all these official prostitutes out, and then let the palace prostitutes come to be official prostitutes, palace prostitutes belong to His Majesty, and ministers generally dare not associate with them, In this way, the relationship between officials and official prostitutes can be completely cut off temporarily, which is of great help to the reform of Taichang Temple. As for those prostitutes, they will also benefit from the new system, which is a win-win situation. ”

Di Renjie bowed his hand and said, "Thank you Han Shangshu for your advice, the lower officials understand." ”

Cui Jijian suddenly looked at Han Yi, "Actually, I have already thought of how to do it, so why bother to make a fuss here." ”

Han Yi said angrily: "Aren't I teaching young people how to do things, what if you cooperate." ”

Cui Ji's eyes closed slightly, and he didn't plan to speak anymore.

He had already guessed Han Yi's intentions, otherwise, Han Yi would not need to go through many troubles, and said that he was free to choose, free to choose who would stay, although he was an official prostitute, he ate and drank spicy food, and was carefree, but this official prostitute is not a long-term job, and he has to face elimination when he is a little older, which is very cruel, and now the court is still helping them arrange a way back, if they miss this time, I am afraid they will delay their lives, even if they encounter setbacks, they can still go back to the old way, as long as their heads are not broken, they will choose to leave.

Han Yi has already emptied the official prostitutes.

......

Imperial.

"One hundred and sixty-one?"

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this.

Han Yi nodded and said: "And all of them are low-grade official prostitutes, or they are older, and they are ready to stay in the official mansion to eat and drink, and they have no value of staying." ”

Li Zhi was a little puzzled: "What should I do?" You won't persuade me to remove the official prostitutes again. ”

That's done a little bit.

Han Yi said: "That's what the minister intended, and none of the more than 2,000 official prostitutes remained." Isn't it necessary to cut the palace prostitutes in the palace and send 300 palace prostitutes to be official prostitutes, which can also show His Majesty's compassion for his subjects. ”

"What kind of sympathy for the subjects, nonsense, you are deliberately sarcastic." Li Zhi glared at him.

"Wechen doesn't dare."

Li Zhi looked at Wu Meiniang on the side again and said, "Queen, what do you think?" ”

Wu Meiniang knew Han Yi's thoughts, and after a little hesitation, she said, "The concubine thinks this is okay." ”

Li Zhi nodded: "Then so be it." ”

Han Yi said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to ask, have you ever heard a sentence, this twisted melon is not sweet." ”

Li Zhi looked at him cautiously and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Han Yi said: "Weichen thinks that so many people want to leave, which proves that this official prostitute is not likable, they are all forced to stay here, and the court always forces them to be official prostitutes, isn't it ......." ”

Wu Meiniang smiled: "Whatever you want to say, just say it, anyway, Your Majesty is already angry with you." ”

"Huh?"

Han Yi was stunned.

When Li Zhi saw the expression on Han Yi's face, he couldn't help laughing, he was really full of anger, and said helplessly: "Say it, say whatever you want." ”

Han Yi secretly gave Wu Meiniang two grateful glances, and said: "Weichen thinks that if you can professionalize official prostitutes and sing and dance specifically for the government, this is just their job, just like the officials, the court can sign a contract with them, and when they reach a certain age, they can terminate the contract." ”

Wu Meiniang said: "Why do you want to do this? ”

Han Yi said: "The minister thinks so, because of the existence of palace prostitutes, there will be no shortage of dancers at the court banquet, and the only value of the existence of official prostitutes is to reflect His Majesty's benevolence." ”

Li Zhi heard it as if he had eaten a fly, and frowned: "You are not finished." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has no such intention, the minister really thinks so, because as long as you make good use of it, you can reverse the bad influence on official prostitutes, and let Your Majesty gain a higher prestige from it."

Can this also be reversed? Li Zhi really didn't believe it, and asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Han Yi said seriously: "The source of official prostitutes generally comes from two kinds, one is trafficking, and the other is the family members of criminals. In response to the first situation, the imperial court can set up an institution under the Women's Federation Bureau, which is dedicated to taking in orphans, as well as helping those who cannot afford to support their children, and cultivating these orphans into various talents to serve the imperial court in the future. But if it is said that the imperial court took in these orphans just for slavery, then this lacks benevolence and love, and it is no different from those Qinglou, which is equivalent to doing good deeds with bad intentions.

But if these orphans are not treated as slaves, but as an equal transaction, and the court is responsible for raising them to adulthood, of course they are obliged to do something for the court, which is reasonable, and when they reach a certain age, both parties can terminate the contract, and then they are old enough to support themselves to work outside the home, and they can also increase taxes for the state. This can not only reflect His Majesty's benevolent government, but also meet the needs of the imperial court, and at the same time give those palace prostitutes who are about to be sent down an explanation, and they can be free after a few years. Now that the population of our Tang Dynasty is not large, the imperial court should cherish manpower.

In the second case, the family members of the prisoners should have been demoted to slaves, but if a time limit is added to the slaves and maids, when the time limit has expired, they can be restored to their freedom, and this is not also a reflection of His Majesty's benevolent government. At the same time, it can meet the needs of the imperial court, increase the population and taxes, improve the productivity of the country, and most importantly, the official prostitutes will be recognized by the people and think that the imperial court is right to do so. ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes lit up when she heard this, this is tantamount to turning the dirtiest into the cleanest, absolutely amazing, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the idea of the concubine to look at Han Yi is really good!" ”

Li Zhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is feasible." Alas... This is the end of the matter, so do as you say. ”
