Chapter 1471: Free Choice
Because Han Yi has made a lot of trouble about this recently, and it also involves some meritorious deeds, these official prostitutes are full of fear of Han Yi and dare not look up directly, mainly because Han Yi has no contact with them, which is really unique in the court, there is no old friend, and naturally no one understands Han Yi's temperament.
"I'm Han Yi, the head of the household, and I believe you should know it too. Why am I standing here. To put it simply, it was because the imperial court intended to reduce the scale of official prostitutes. ”
Han Yi's gaze swept over the faces of the official prostitutes, "But this reduction of official prostitutes is not as terrifying as you imagined, nor is it as rumored outside, this matter is beneficial and harmless for you, because for you, it is just one more opportunity to choose." Academician Di will send you a form later, and it is up to you to choose whether to leave or stay. ”
All the official prostitutes were stunned when they heard this, didn't they say that the number of people would be reduced to 300? How can you still have the freedom to choose, and what is going on here?
Cui Jijian, who had just arrived, happened to hear this, and couldn't help but stop at the gate of the courtyard, and lowered his eyebrows and thought about it.
Han Yi ignored the surprise on their faces and continued: "If you choose to leave, if necessary, the imperial court will help you change your name and surname, and help you get an ordinary job, of course, you can rest assured, it will not be those hard jobs, nor will it be the same as before, but some clerical work, which will completely cut you off from the past." If you choose to stay, don't care about the eyes of others, your choice is not necessarily wrong, it depends on your own choice.
Also, if you really like singing and dancing, and like this kind of life, but you don't want to stay here, the court will also arrange similar jobs for you, such as going to Fengfei Tower and Huayue Tower to perform in dramas, and the government will come forward to guarantee your rights and interests, that is to say, even if you go to Pingkangli to be a courtesan, you will sign a cooperation contract with freedom, not a deed of sale. ”
So good?
The prostitutes were stupid, because they had already learned about it from their old friends, and they all thought it was very serious, and they were so anxious that they couldn't sleep at night, and then it was dark and blank, and they were completely at a loss, because they were unprepared, and they came a little too quickly. And now that they hear it, it's not like that at all, it's as if the Buddha has come, not to mention the free choice, and the court also helps them arrange a way back, they can't help but wonder in their hearts, are we still that humble official prostitute?
In their opinion, this is somewhat fake.
Han Yi glanced away, didn't know what they were thinking, and said with a serious expression: "Actually, I can directly ask people to post notices for these words, and I don't need to come here in person." And the reason why I am here is to hope that you will understand that the court will make decisions for you, you only need to make choices according to your own wishes, and you do not need to think about anything else, and I solemnly assure you here that no one has the right to interfere with your choice. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly drew his hand to the door and said, "This is the Imperial Shi Cui Yushi, the servant of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and he is here to specifically supervise whether there are officials interfering with your choice." To ensure this, I will temporarily remove the people who were in charge of supervising you, and send the Praetorian Guard to guard this place, so that you can make exactly what you want to choose within three days, and I will have to say that. As for some of the details, I have specially invited the Four Dreams of Fengfeilou, you can consult them, they are explaining the details to you on my behalf. ”
After speaking, he retreated and handed over the scene to Di Renjie and Simeng.
Di Renjie, as a newcomer who had just debuted, didn't dare to talk nonsense, and immediately ordered someone to distribute the form.
"I really didn't expect Wei Zhongcheng to send you." Han Yi came to the gate of the courtyard and smiled at Cui Jijian.
Cui Jijian said lightly: "Why are you looking for Di Renjie?" ”
Han Yi said: "I've never seen anyone so good at boasting." ”
"I can't talk about boasting, I can only say that everyone has their own advantages." Cui Jijian responded lightly, and said curiously: "Actually, you have done this very perfectly, and you don't need our Yushitai to supervise you." ”
Han Yi shook his head and said: "I can't say that, after all, I am only the head of the household, I have no authority to supervise the actions of those ministers, and it is impossible to ask the emperor to come forward every time to kill chickens and monkeys. ”
"And it can be used for you."
"This is not to be talked about, because this is the authority of your Imperial Historical Observatory."
Cui Jijian asked again: "Since Your Majesty has ordered the reduction to three hundred, you can't just cut it directly, why bother making it so much?" ”
Han Yi smiled bitterly: "Because I still have to deal with the aftermath for them, it's not that it's okay to throw them out of Taichang Temple, how to deal with the aftermath, this still needs the help of others, so I have to be responsible for both sides, if I force them to do something, it may damage everyone's interests, but if they are voluntary, it will benefit all three parties." ”
Cui Jijian nodded slightly, and said: "But you are a dignified household secretary, you have so many things to ignore, but you spend so much energy on these official prostitutes, I believe this is not only the meaning of these official prostitutes." ”
Han Yi smiled, "You are so smart, you must be able to guess." I'll leave it to you here, and I still have to go to the Civil Security Bureau, so I'll take my leave. ”
After Han Yi left Taichang Temple, he immediately rushed to the Civil Security Bureau.
"I said Han Yi, can't you stop a little, the case of the Temple of Mercy and Grace has just ended, and you are making trouble for us again."
As soon as Han Yi came to the office, Cheng Chuliang complained to him.
Han Yi smiled: "What? I can't bear to give you a good look! ”
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly said: "What--- what old man is good, it's really ugly, am I Cheng Er that kind of person?" ”
Immediately, several disdainful glances were directed at him.
Han Yi walked to the coffee table on the side, poured himself a cup of tea, poured it in, and said: "The court gave us so much money, but it didn't let us sit here and eat idle food, it is a good thing for the Civil Security Bureau to have something to do, if there is nothing to do, it proves that the Civil Security Bureau is redundant." ”
Cheng Chuliang said distressedly: "Then you have to let us take a breath!" ”
"I'm a lot more in charge than you do." Han Yi shrugged.
Changsun Yan said suddenly: "Chief Superintendent, if you continue to complain here, this matter will never be resolved, and you will never be able to breathe this breath." ”
"It's still the eldest grandson and young eunuch who is right." Han Yi sat down, "Didn't I ask you to contact those fake mothers in Pingkangli?" ”
Cheng Chuliang said angrily: "It's been notified, but I thought you would come in the afternoon, so let them come in the afternoon, you are not there, and we don't know what to say." ”
"Afternoon is afternoon!" Han Yi said: "I don't need you to interfere in the matter of official prostitutes, I have always done this offending thing, and this time will not be an exception." But, by the way, you have also heard that His Majesty and the Empress want to strengthen the protection of women and set up a women's federation bureau. ”
All four nodded.
Han Yi said: "I want to ask your opinion on this. ”
Cheng Chuliang. Li Siwen. Wei is silent, and improving the status of women is not hurting the rights and interests of men.
Changsun Yan said suddenly: "Regarding this matter, I have studied some cases. I think it is very difficult to completely eliminate the dust thing, unless all green buildings are banned, so I think we should find a way to prevent women from falling into the dust, so as to increase the protection of women. ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "I think the same way." ”
The eldest grandson Yan said: "In fact, there are probably three ways for a woman to fall into the dust, one of which is the buying and selling of slaves and maids. Second, life is compelled. Third, being framed. To put an end to the first point, we must first eliminate the slave system, which is probably very difficult, but we can make it more difficult to buy and sell slaves and slaves, for example, by charging high taxes and making the slave trade unprofitable, then there will naturally be many fewer people who trade slaves and slaves. ”
Han Yi looked at Changsun Yan in a little surprise.
The eldest grandson Yan said again: "Second, life is compelling. Nowadays, this situation has decreased, because the workshop of free beauty has provided women with jobs, and even if life is compelled, they no longer need to go to the Qinglou to sell themselves. But there is another situation, that is, the parents are forced to sell their young girls to the Qinglou, which is the most difficult to eliminate, the parents can't support their children, they are not allowed to sell, and they will only starve their children to death, unless the court pays to help them, but the court will not pay this money. Therefore, I think we should look at the actual situation, if it is really impossible to live, then we should allow the sale, and if it is purely for money, we should punish the sale of underage girls.
Third, it is framed by others. At the end of the Zhenguan year, there was a man named Wei Xing, who specialized in defrauding women's feelings, marrying women home as concubines with dowry gifts, and then selling them to Qinglou at a high price to make huge profits, this is just one example, and there are many people who are using their feelings to turn your woman into their concubine first, and then sell it to make a profit, this behavior is simply shameful. Also, according to the law of our dynasty, concubines must be good people, which is to protect the good and the low, and cannot intermarry, but the concubines are like slaves and maids, they can be bought and sold, exchanged, and we should revise the law to protect the rights and interests of concubines. ”
After hearing this, Han Yi looked at Eldest Sun Yan with a little shock, and said, "I really didn't expect you to have done so much homework." ”
The eldest grandson Yan said: "I am the young eunuch of Chalu, and this is within my authority. "He studies these laws and cases every day, as long as it is a law, he can give you advice, mainly because he loves to read, and the law is to read more, read more, and think more. It can only be said that he has a talent for this.
Wei Zhiwei said suddenly: "Han Yi, the eldest grandson, the exchange of concubines and concubines, it is very popular in the court and the aristocracy, and now that the official prostitutes have just been cut, it has hurt the rights and interests of the ministers in the court, and immediately further strengthen the protection of concubines, I am afraid that it will cause them to resist strongly, and then you will only gain more than you lose, I think it is better to accept it when you see it." ”
Han Yi felt that Wei Zhiqi was not unreasonable, and said, "Then what do you think?" ”
Wei said: "I think it is still mainly to control the trafficking of women and prevent violence against courtesans and concubines. ”
Han Yi nodded, and looked at Eldest Sun Yan again. The eldest grandson Yan hurriedly said: "Wei is right, I take it for granted, this matter should be done step by step." ”
Cheng Chuliang said with a grin: "I think this matter will be left to the eldest grandson to do." ”
Han Yi glanced at Cheng Shiliang and said, "If you want to talk about me, the smartest person we have here is the chief superintendent." ”
Wei Zhiqi and Li Siwen laughed when they heard it.
Cheng Chuliang said: "What are you laughing at, Han Yi, don't you often say that people make the best use of their talents and make the best use of things, I don't think there's anything wrong with me doing this!" ”
"I'm not saying you're wrong, I mean you're doing a good job, I can raise my hand and swear." Han Yi raised his hand, and said to the eldest grandson: "Then this matter will bother you." ”
Changsun Yan nodded, but his eyes flashed with excitement, he liked to do this in his heart, when he was studying the thoughts of the Legalists, he already had a lot of ideas, otherwise, how could he point out the disadvantages in these few days, he had thought about it before, but he could only think about it before, but now he can put it into practice, he is very excited about it.
Several people chatted about the protection of women, mainly because Changsun Yan said that because Changsun Yan likes to read cases the most, he knows everything about cases of women being persecuted, he takes cases as examples, and they are a bunch of them, not just a single case, he will never say what I think should be done, but first come up with solid evidence, and then express his own opinion on it, in fact, people with Legalist thought are all virtuous, and they love to speak with facts.
