Chapter 694: So Economic
"That's not what we meant, you misunderstood, the second question, how much is this tael of silver given to the imperial court?" This question is the answer that Asa-sang wants.
"According to the custom, the appearance of the imperial court leviing five cents in one tael of silver is also well known, does the girl still want to ask?"
"Okay, okay, I see, now, you can start singing, we'll listen to it for an hour, but it won't be very difficult for you, let's get started."
Although, this girl also knew that Asa-san and Ziyu had ulterior motives for coming here, but the girl saluted respectfully, answered their questions seriously, and sang for about a quarter of an hour, which was the time to change the tune, and Asa-san remembered a new question.
said, "Okay, you don't need to keep singing, can you talk to me about your family?" ”
"This ......" just now, the girl seemed to be very happy to answer, and even had a faint smile on her face, but when it came to the word "family", the smile on the girl's face disappeared cleanly.
"Let's talk about it."
"Wait, I won't tell the guest officer, but although I don't know what the purpose of the guest officer is, I can see that you two don't have any bad intentions, so I'll say it." This girl told the story, and after listening to it, Ziyu and Qiansang were attracted by the girl's tragic life experience.
It turned out that the girl's father was an out-and-out drunkard, and when the girl was a minor, he had already made the family unable to make ends meet, and the girl's mother finally died of illness in order to support the family.
After the mother died, Daddy simply sold the girl to Zhuangyuanlou, it has been three years, this drunkard has not only reformed, but after Peony became the number one Oiran of Zhuangyuanlou, Daddy's blackmail of Peony has intensified.
Peony has to send money to his father every once in a while, and recently, the daughter born to his father Xu Xian's wife is sick again, and I don't know what the disease is, in short, it costs a lot of money, and Peony gave all the silver to my father, but it is still far from enough.
Speaking of which, Peony had already burst into tears.
"We will help you, so let's do it, I and the bustard will redeem you, so that you will be free." Ziyu knows that natural and man-made disasters happen every day, but some of them can't be seen by themselves, so naturally they can't theorize.
But the scene in front of him was clearly seen by herself, and she naturally wanted to give generously, but at this moment, the girl waved her hand like lightning.
"No, no, no, the kindness of the childe is well received by the slave family, if the son really goes to redeem himself, how can the slave family fill the bottomless pit of the father in the future."
"That's it, I'll just give you the silver."
"The slave family is grateful." Seeing the silver being delivered, she half-pushed it and half-agreed, but in the end she still accepted it all. Giving the silver to Peony, Asa-san continued to ask, "Is every girl here as bleak as you?" ”
"There are so many miserable people who are more miserable than me, can we really want to be prostitutes?"
"I see." Assa-sang said: "Now, Peony, you can step down, thank you for telling us so much." Qiansang waved his hand, Peony Fu Yifu, and left with gold, silver and jewelry.
When Peony went, he suddenly felt that the building was empty, Ziyu was sad for Peony's life experience, and Qiansang smiled: "Look at you, we have helped them, what are you sad about?" ”
"I'll tell you now, the purpose of bringing you here, you can see now, even if a peasant family struggles for a year, it is not as much as they earn an hour later, and our country's tax revenue comes from this, now, although I didn't ask you, I know that the treasury must be almost empty."
"Therefore, we need to use them to drive our economic development, with this gray service industry, soon the economy will continue to develop, someone comes to consume, they spend money, naturally they need to make money in Dijing, and everything will bloom."
"You mean, not only do you not sympathize with them, but you continue to squeeze them? And, listening to your tone, it seems that there are not enough people who are miserable? Ziyu didn't understand what Assan's purpose was.
Assa-san just smiled indifferently. "We can support them, this industry, not necessarily involved are all such hard-working girls, besides, even if you don't allow the proliferation of such an industry, speaking of which, they are also blooming everywhere, and it is good for us to come like this."
"Lay off the eunuchs and others in the imperial capital, and turn this into an allowance for them, and when they get rewarded, it will bring our money, you can rest assured, it will be immediate soon, and now, we can leave."
"You're just trying to tell me this?" Apparently, he was angry.
"Or else?" Assan-sang blinked, the two went downstairs one after the other, and met Peony again downstairs, Peony thanked them a thousand times, and sent them out of the house gratefully, and saw the two of them get into the carriage and leave, so they retreated.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very stiff, "Just think about it slowly, the matter of spending money is still to come, we need to do this." ”
"You're rewarding crime."
"How is this a sin? I am putting an end to crime, with their emergence, the case of robbing people's women will obviously reduce the crime rate a lot, now, let's not argue about this, don't think about it for the time being, after you go back, after careful consideration, we will continue to talk about this topic. ”
"That's fine." Ziyu closed his eyes unhappily.
Coming out of the champion building, Ziyu thought that Qiansang was going back, but unexpectedly, Qiansang was still unsatisfied, and pointed to a restaurant in front.
"What else to do?"
"Sacrifice to the Five Organs Temple, otherwise you will be hungry, what do you say?" Assan-sang pointed to the hotel in front of him, it seemed that he was still angry, but Asa-sang ignored it and swaggered to the inn, the little second brother in the inn greeted people with a smile, Asa-sang ordered, anyway, what he liked to eat, Asa-sang also knew it.
After the dishes were served, the little second brother diligently prepared dishes and chopsticks for them, etc., and Qiansang waved his hand to let the poor man retreat.
"Eat, aren't you hungry?" Assan-sang was already hungry, and he gripped and ate the rice while holding it, and the dishes on the plate gradually decreased.
The two of them ate the dishes cleanly, and after eating, Ziyu took a step back, and said, "I'll think about it." ”
"No, now that you empty your head, do you think what I'm going to do is enough? We finally got out today, and we just got what we had to do overnight, and now, let's go outside with me. Assan-san walked out with his head held high.
"Okay." Ziyu followed behind, trance is a small follower, after paying, the two came out of the hotel, outside at the moment is lively again, people from work, students from school are lively, people often come and go, chatting with the head sister.
The content of the chat is strange, at this moment, Assan-san is not leaving, standing in the crowd, listening to those who come from * completely different languages, people's languages converge into a river, she is like a mainstay, standing in the middle of the river.
After I don't know how long, the group went.
"What to do? Wood carved clay sculptures? Seeing Asa-sang's appearance, he stretched out his hand and poked at Asa-san's body, and Asa-sang smiled-"This is the fireworks in the world." ”
"Yes." Nod.
"I had someone get the bell and drum tower out before, and you can't figure out what I'm going to do, right? Now, I still don't know? ”
