Chapter 239: It turns out that the lord has a deep meaning!
"Ahem, ahem." Dong Zhuo coughed lightly twice and said slowly: "Dong heard that in some places, it is easy to eat, and the people live a miserable life. ”
"If some poor people sell their sons and daughters and live in other places, it is better for us to take them in."
"Wen You, now that there are wars everywhere, you can take this opportunity to accommodate the population!"
Li Ru listened to Dong Zhuo's words, and his eyes lit up.
It turns out that Xiangguo's intention is here, opening a brothel is a trivial matter, and the important thing is that it can accommodate the population!
From the time a person was born and then grew up, it would take more than ten years, and the Han Dynasty had already been ten rooms and nine empty after Zhang Jiao and other yellow turban thieves, coupled with chaotic battles everywhere.
The population does not change, but needs to grow slowly, the more the population, the stronger the strength, to put it more bluntly, the more the population, the greater the war potential.
In today's world, men are superior to women, and most people will choose to sell their daughters if they have a choice, and they will choose to sell their sons when they are forced to do so.
Bloodline inheritance is one aspect, and the other is that men are much more capable of working than women.
To put it more bluntly, men are more capable of fighting, which is why the fate of girls is far more miserable than that of boys.
As for how miserable it is.
……
Unthinkable.
Taking a step back, in some places, it is already a blessing to be able to sell children and daughters.
After all, at least the children can still be sold, and if they can sell their children, they may save themselves with some money, and the children who are sold may have a greater hope of survival.
After all, if they can't sell it, and the family can't afford it, then the fate of these children can be imagined.
Now in the territory controlled by Dong Zhuo, it is obviously unrealistic to say that everyone can eat enough, and most people have eaten this meal without a meal.
However, life is getting better little by little, and there are cases of selling children and daughters, and even a lot, but compared to changing children and eating each other......
That's a lot better, of course.
Of course, as for why Dong Xiangguo wanted to accommodate these girls by opening a brothel, Li Ru already understood in his heart, which shows the master's superiority even more!
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu set up the Yulin Ride at the beginning of the first year, and took the descendants of the dead in the army to raise the Yulin, and the officials taught five soldiers, called the Yulin orphans.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Yulinwei, he adopted the orphans of the soldiers.
Some individuals may say, why not adopt a child for free?
That's just standing and talking without backache, the world is bustling for profit, the world is shouting for the future, who wants to do things that are not beneficial?
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted the orphans of those soldiers, it was also for future wars.
What's more, the current situation is completely different from the period of Emperor Wu, if it is said to adopt orphans, I am afraid that the entire imperial court will not be able to afford to sell them all.
Because of this, by opening brothels, the court can profit from them, and can also adopt some children, as long as brothels are opened more and more, more and more children will be adopted.
Judging from the current situation, the vast majority of ordinary people must not be able to afford to visit brothels, so the money they earn is the money of large families.
In addition to the lack of copper production in the Han Dynasty, part of the reason why there is less and less silver money is that many large families like to bury silver coins.
Some money, buried and buried, is gone, there is no liquidity, if it can flow, it can naturally play a role in bringing the surface to the point.
Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo and saluted solemnly: "The lord's plan, Confucianism is difficult and in case it happens, Confucianism already understands what the lord means." ”
“???”
Dong Zhuo didn't know that Li Ru had already opened his mind for a while, he just wanted to make money.
As for the matter of accommodating the population, this is not very normal.
There are so many people, a little more on our side, and fewer on other places.
However, Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru was so solemn, so he still smiled and said: "It's good to understand, it's good to understand." ”
"In Wenyou's opinion, but there is anything to add?!" Dong Zhuo asked.
Li Ru was thinking about accommodating the population, and he already had an idea, and when he saw Dong Zhuo asking, he replied:
"Lord, in my Confucian opinion, why don't we organize people and go to other places to buy children?!"
"Huh?!" Dong Zhuo frowned, "Acquire children?!" Wen You, it looks like you're thinking about it! ”
"Now that slavery has become a trend in the court, this wind cannot last!"
"Dong's previous statement that using brothels to accommodate children is just to give those who sell their children and daughters one more choice in a desperate situation."
Dong Zhuo swept his beard and said in a deep voice: "Dong Mou said before that this brothel needs a letter from the imperial court to open, so the people who are stored in the brothel must naturally do a good job of filing." ”
"Whether it is voluntary or not, what is the reason, how the treatment is, etc., must be clearly recorded, and it must be remembered that such things must not make people angry, they must be voluntary."
"Of course, except for the Department of Education, of course, the officials and daughters who committed crimes in the Department of Education cannot be compared with the outside."
"The brothel should be formal, and the person who receives it must also be formal, of course, there must be a silver transaction, but Dong doesn't want to cause a large area of child abduction and trafficking in various places because of the money transaction."
"To put it simply, even if you work in a brothel, you have to be innocent!"
"For example, if Wen You wants to sell her daughter to a brothel."
Li Ru's face instantly darkened.
The parable of the lord ......
"If Wen You wants to sell his daughter and verify his identity, is this daughter your daughter......
Li Ru frowned and said, "Lord, how dare you ask, how can Ru prove that his daughter is his own daughter?" ”
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, "Doesn't the household department have a household registration?" ”
Li Ru: ......
"My lord, it's too difficult to simply check the household registration, because there are too many displaced people now." Li Ru said stiffly.
Dong Zhuo nodded, "Reasonable, so ...... This household registration must be perfected, and the household department must do a good job of this matter. ”
Li Ru: ???
That's one more thing for me?!!
"To the extent that you want to sell your children, it must be very difficult to live, and it can't prove that your daughter is your daughter, so start with you."
At this time, Dong Zhuo's words came to Li Ru's ears again.
"Start with me?!"
Dong Zhuo nodded and said with a smile: "You are so mixed that you want to sell your daughter's share, then Dong will let you sell it, but after the sale, it must be arranged according to the imperial court." ”
"You say you can't get along, then the court will arrange a place for you to go, go to Tuntian, go to open up wasteland, go to build roads, you can do it."
"It's also easy to manage, and if he's really a kidnapper or something, he can just find out."
Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's face showed a cold color, "With the law of Han, those who abduct and sell children, behead them, and divide their bodies!" ”
"But Dong thinks it's too light."
"To put it simply, those who can't survive and want to sell their sons and daughters, Dong can understand, but this is not a long-term solution."
"Those who sell their children because they are lazy happen to be disciplined by the imperial court, and there is always a way to cure them."
