Early the next morning, the people of the Daomen took a boat to the Jade Emperor Palace in Xuanshang Beifang.

The Jade Emperor said that it is not big, compared with Wanshou Chongyang Palace, Vientiane Dao Palace, Taiping Palace, and Daxue Mountain Palace, it is indeed smaller. It can be said that it is not small, and it is placed in the imperial capital of every inch of land, which is a well-deserved first palace, and many palaces are far inferior.

Qi Xuansu, as a Taoist priest of the Four Grades of Sacrifice and Wine, and the position of the principal, was assigned a single-family courtyard, and an exclusive Taoist who was responsible for taking care of his daily life.

Of course, if you are willing to buy a private house outside, the Dijing Provincial Government will never stop it, let alone take back the allocated residence, but the housing prices in Dijing are amazing, and if you want to buy a house outside, I am afraid that it is not an ordinary Taoist priest who can do it.

Qi Xuansu has no idea of going out to live for the time being, just because he is shy in his pocket, if he lives in the Jade Emperor Palace, he will not only save the cost of rent, but also save daily expenses.

Then there is the arrangement of duties. In the past, although Qi Xuansu was the chief Taoist, he was a fictitious position, because he had no specific subordinates and no specific responsibilities, he just hung an empty name. And this time when he came to the Dijing Provincial Mansion, the fictitious position became a real post, just like the Hanlin in the Hanlin Courtyard released the magistrate, although the grade is comparable, but the real power is not equivalent at all.

Poor Hanlin, even if he is a bachelor of the fourth grade, he is counting on that little money to live, and if his family is not good, he may have to go into debt to live. But the prefect of one place is also a four-grade house, but it is known as "one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver in the Qing prefect in three years", and the gap is so big that it is not a star and a half.

The same is true of Qi Xuansu today, who used to be a bare-bones master, but now he has become a real power master, and he is still biased towards martial arts.

The Taoist priests and spiritual officials of the Daomen are very similar to the civil officials and military generals of the previous dynasty, the former dynasty was the civil official temperance general, and the Taoist priest controlled the spiritual officer.

However, the Taoist priest cannot be regarded as a civil official completely, because the Taoist priest's own force is even better than that of the spirit official, but it is somewhat similar to the governor of the Daxuan Imperial Court and the chief military officer of the Admiral, the governor does not mean that he is a pure civil official, most of the governors are both civil and military people. It is undeniable that there have been more and more Taoist priests in the flower garden in recent years, but the real people at the top level still maintain a considerable quality.

In addition to the upper three halls, the local Dao government also has a certain number of spirit officials, such as the Kunlun Dao Mansion and the Western Regions Dao Mansion, and these two Dao Mansions have more spirit officials than the other Dao Mansions. In the local Taoist government, the Taoist priests who can directly lead the spiritual officials can belong to the list of "important positions", and if a young man is placed in such a position, it means reuse.

Qi Xuansu was assigned such a position at this time, and there were two deacons and Taoist priests and four fourth-rank spirit officials under his command, each of which had ninety-nine spirit officials under his command, plus four four-rank spirit officials, a total of four hundred people.

Small kiosk app

There are only so many small gangs and small gangs on the rivers and lakes, but these small gangs are all rabble, and they can't be compared with the elite spirit officials of the Daomen.

After Qi Xuansu learned about this official appointment from Shi Bingyun, he was silent for a while, and then asked, "What are my specific responsibilities?" The imperial capital is guarded by heavy soldiers, as well as the major yamen, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, it seems that it is not our turn to guard the imperial capital. ”

Shi Bingyun said: "The situation in Dijing today is that there are almost no major cases related to secret associations, and all kinds of small cases are almost every day. In the big case related to the temple and court situation, His Majesty the Emperor is arbitrary, and it is not our turn to intervene, even if we really want to intervene, then there are people who will personally intervene. Other cases are in charge of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, and we don't need to get involved, just stay away. Therefore, we have only two duties, one is to arrest all kinds of cults and demons hidden in the imperial capital, and the other is to correct some problems related to morality. ”

Qi Xuansu was not surprised or unfamiliar with the former article, but the second one made him a little confused: "Moral atmosphere? ”

Shi Bingyun smiled when he heard this: "At first glance, you haven't been in the local Daofu, except for a few special Daofu, such as the Kunlun Daofu and the Western Regions Daofu, this is almost the responsibility of all Daofu, similar to the Confucianism in the past. ”

Qi Xuansu immediately understood: "Although our Taoist sect criticizes the Confucian religion of etiquette, saying that the religion of etiquette imprisons the mind and restricts people's hearts, we have to admit that there is no rule and there is no circle, and there must be a clear moral standard and law to cooperate with each other, restrain the world, and implement it by strong means." ”

Shi Bingyun nodded: "That's what it means, so the local provincial governments are responsible for correcting the moral atmosphere." I just handled a case not long ago, in the name of cultivating excellent women, from the appearance and posture, manners and speech, dress to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, there are special people to teach, as well as a variety of strategies for men, how to judge the geometry of men's family property, etc., in fact, it is the set of raising thin horses, which belongs to corrupt morality, so I detained all these people, took off their brocade clothes, changed into coarse linen clothes, and sent them to work on the farms outside the city, which is to combat unhealthy tendencies and carry forward the 'thrifty' virtue of the ancestors of Taishang Dao. ”

Qi Xuansu asked a fatal question: "Raising thin horses is corrupting the atmosphere, but what about the prostitutes in the courtyard?" Is it a corrupt moral? ”

Shi Bingyun was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "This is our difficulty, in principle, this is indeed true, but in reality, as long as it is allowed by the imperial court, it is not easy for us to forcibly manage it." In the final analysis, the two standards are inevitable and helpless. ”

Qi Xuansu said with emotion: "No wonder in the past, they all scolded Confucianism, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and full of male thieves and female prostitutes. ”

Shi Bingyun sighed: "Whoever is in the position of the co-master of the world will be scolded by this." ”

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Where is the boundary of the so-called imperial court permission?" ”

Shi Bingyun had a little headache, this kid didn't seem to understand anything, and the questions he asked were more and more tricky, which was not like someone who didn't understand could ask, but she still patiently explained: "The so-called innovation is, to put it bluntly, a profound qualitative change in the development of economic materials and the hearts of the people of the world. After the Great Xuan replaced the Great Wei, of course, it was necessary to innovate the old way, but the innovation of the old Ding was an extremely complex process, which was filled with a large number of contradictions and struggles, ideological contradictions between the old and the new, contradictions of interests, etc., many people advocated innovation when it came to their own interests and changed their faces, it can be said that you have me, I have you, so that the innovation measures have to be from the power at some times, so as not to cause irreparable mistakes because they are too radical. ”

"In this regard, there are two extremely striking examples, one is the rectification of eunuchs, and the other is the rectification of prostitutes, the former is the destruction of men, and the latter is the destruction of women, both of which should be completely abolished. Today we don't talk about the former, only the latter, on this article, in fact, Emperor Gaozu has not yet entered the customs, has been in the Liaodong prefectures and counties began to trial, the reason is very complicated, the main reason is not because of morality, but because of the lack of population in Liaodong at that time, had to lift the shackles of etiquette and religion on women, so that women also go out of the house, participate in various labor, make up for the lack of population. But this reason cannot be put into words, so it is still promoted and publicized from the moral level in name. ”

"After entering the customs and seizing the world, if the banner of morality continues to preach the independence and autonomy of women, then places like brothels must be banned. But the problem is that in reality, this kind of place has a certain meaning of existence, it is not surprising that there are two needs, men have needs, but some unscrupulous women are used to this kind of rich life similar to that of rich ladies, they think that they are born with capital, they like to work hard, they are unwilling to support themselves, they are unwilling to work, they just want to sell their bodies. The key is that the main energy of the imperial court at that time was focused on recovering the Western Regions, tax reform, inventory and measurement of the world's fields, cracking down on the gentry, and rectifying the rule of officials, while the main energy of the Daomen was on integrating the three internal Daomen of the Daomen, de-Confucianization, suppressing the Gu Immortals, developing creations and responding to the challenges of Buddhism, and did not pay too much attention to this matter, so the brothel was still retained. ”

"If we failed to reform when we re-established the new order, it will be difficult to think about reform in the future. However, the imperial court did not do nothing, and regulated and rectified the remaining brothels. The reason why it is said that brothels are a place to destroy women, because it is full of a large number of illegal acts such as forcing good people to prostitution, trafficking in human beings, lynching, and even forcing people to die, and engaging in such special businesses for many years will also greatly damage the body and mind of prostitutes, so the court has carried out a special rectification for these aspects, all women engaged in such industries must have a license document issued by the court, and the brothel must also have an official document for licensing, and the Department of Education will come down every month to inspect, if it is found that there are any of the above illegal acts, Immediately revoke their relevant qualifications and severely punish the parties. ”

"You just asked the court where the limit of permission is, and it lies in this document."

"In addition, since the establishment of the Vientiane Dao Palace in our Daomen and the beginning of the adoption of orphans, the 'good days' of brothels spending a little money to adopt orphans from poor families are gone, plus it is not allowed to buy and sell people at will, and it is not allowed to force good people to become prostitutes, it must be based on the principle of women's voluntariness, and brothels are naturally in an immoral position and belong to the lower ninth class, so the life of brothels is not very good, and many small brothels have been closed. In other words, in addition to those 'black workshops' without licenses, the brothels that can still open for business all have big backgrounds and big backers, and the forces behind them are intertwined, and a 'Zixian Mountain' is involved in the second Jiangnan case, which can be seen. ”

Qi Xuansu said thoughtfully: "For example, the Li family." ”

"You mean Li Qingnu." Shi Bingyun smiled, "In my opinion, she is not a prostitute, she is famous for her singing and dancing music, but she still retains her virgin body, if you are the Li family, are you willing to let her go to Yingying to laugh?" And with the surname of the Li family, this is the surname of Taishang Daozu and Xuansheng, without such a bad practice, the Li family will not make this rotten money. In fact, the Li family wants to create a name of 'everyone', and they have a high shelf, and they will be dedicated to the emperor in the future, so they can do it. However, considering that His Majesty the Emperor is old and may not be interested in women, it is also possible that the Li family will leave her in the Li family and treat her as a righteous daughter, which is something that no one can say. ”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that the water in it was so deep, Shi Bingyun didn't look very reliable, but in the end, it was the junior sister who used to compete with Cihang Zhenren, and his words were remote, which made him suddenly enlightened.

After Shi Bingyun finished explaining, he arranged a specific task for Qi Xuansu: "Your task in the past month, in addition to being familiar with the situation in the imperial capital, is to conduct a special investigation and rectification of the moral atmosphere and become a defender. ”

Qi Xuansu suddenly asked: "By the way, Shi Zhenren, is there such an industry as 'Lao Qin' in your mouth?" ”

Shi Bingyun smiled dumbly: "With me watching from the side, forgive him for not having the courage to do so." ”
