"A-Ying, do you know the origin of the Qinglou?"

Looking at Ran Min, who was drinking slowly, Ran Ming really didn't know what his father was asking this question, but he still answered honestly: "Qinglou is an elegant name, and the folk contempt is Ji Yuan and kiln, and the sons and daughters listen, Qinglou women generally respect Guan Zhong as their ancestors." ”

"Not bad."

Ran Ming said again: "But my father, my son, thinks that the Qinglou should be abolished. ”

"What you think." Ran Min didn't nod or shake his head, but asked Ran Ming to put his inner thoughts out.

"Father, the existence of the Qinglou is really immoral and not conducive to the image of the country. And many of these poor Qinglou women were persecuted, and their parents sold themselves to the Qinglou, how tragic is their fate? And if you want to change the status quo, the deformed product of Qinglou must be abolished! ”

Looking at the impassioned Ran Ming, Ran Min really didn't want to hit the self-motivation of his honest son, but he had to say: "A-Ying, your words are already to the point." But I want to ask you, what was Guan Zhong's intention in founding Nulu back then? ”

"Guan Zhong Xiang Qi Huan Gong, he implemented the female Lu system, and the female Lu system opened a precedent for the state to operate prostitution." Ran Ming thought about it again and said: "Father, the sons and daughters often sit and discuss with Wang Meng and Cui Hao, and they have also had the matter of the female Lu, which has been summarized. Erchen secretly thought that Guan Zhong's purpose should be four. ”

"One is to increase national revenue. The second is to alleviate and reconcile social contradictions. The third is to recruit tourists and recruit talents. At that time, the princes competed for power, and in order to be able to dominate, Duke Qi Huan used beauties to attract talents. The fourth is for Qi Huan's public lewdness. But the most important purpose of Guan Zhong's establishment of the women's lu is to collect taxes from it for military expenses! ”

Ran Min nodded and said, "A-Ying, you have to be right." But I still don't understand the real intention! Guan Zhong is in unison, and the cloth is opened for the minister's game. Guan Zi said: All herdsmen, the messengers have no evil deeds, and women have no sexual immorality. Scholars do not do evil deeds, and they teach also; Women have no sexual immorality, and they are also trained. The lesson is customary, and the punishment is also saved! ”

"This is a relatively stable and peaceful proposition, and there is nothing new about it, but 'no evil deeds for men and no sexual immorality for women' is of course an ideal state of society, so it needs to be taught a lesson. What about ineffective lessons? That's not as good as setting up a state-run female lu by herself. Therefore, the rule of the pipe is Qi, for the female Lu 700, and the capital of the night is levied to support the military state! Therefore, the existence of female lumen is also closely related to the country's financial revenue. ”

Ran Min said lightly: "A-Ying, do you know how much tax we collect from the Qinglou in a year?" ”

"I don't know."

"It accounts for one-fifth of my Dawei's total taxes in a year!"

"This ...... How profitable it is? ”

Ran Min drank another glass of wine and said, "Actually, this data has been declining year by year. Because many ordinary people have surplus food at home and can still live, they don't have to buy and sell their children, so there are fewer and fewer women who sell themselves in Qinglou. ”

"Therefore, I think that the wood is higher than the forest, and the wind will destroy it; If you do more than the others, you will not be the others. Although the implementation of this law is not elegant, it can benefit the forest and benefit the people. ”

Ran Mingzuo suddenly realized and said: "In this way, Confucius said: Color-eating is also. This is truly the truth of the world! ”

Ran Min rolled his eyes: "Which cat in this world doesn't steal, and what man doesn't like to pick wildflowers?"

"There are many living beings, how many of them can build a corridor temple and do great things? Ordinary people work hard to make money, but they also want to enjoy happiness. Restaurants and brothels, painting boats and songs, can eliminate their sorrows and add pleasure, and the green building will also have the value of building! ”

Seeing that Ran Ming seemed to really understand, Ran Min was "relieved", and said, "Ah Ying, in fact, I have been thinking about this matter recently. In this world, there are countless things to sell her daughter to Qinglou, or Qinglou to force Liang to Chang, I can't control it, and the government is not good. Therefore, I plan to issue several decrees regarding the Green House. ”

"I don't know what kind of decree it is?"

"Repeal of the deed of sale. As soon as the deed of sale is signed, the person will be sold like goods and slaves, is that person still a human being? So I can't tolerate that. The deed of sale must be annulled, and the State will not recognize its existence. ”

Hearing this, Ran Ming's brows furrowed, and he said, "Father, I'm afraid this deed of sale is not easy to revoke." As far as I know, each Qinglou has its own backstage, the background is not, it is very likely to affect the whole body, and when the time comes, things will be big, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it! ”

"It doesn't matter. If you don't have a deed of sale, you can sign a contract agreement! ”

"What is a contractual agreement?"

"The contract agreement is that the woman in the Qinglou works for the old bustard, but her body still belongs to herself. The money earned will also be shared. Most of these Qinglou women are hard-working people, and I can't embarrass them too much. ”

"Father's mercy."

Ran Min said again: "In addition to the matter of selling the deed, I also want to introduce a new decree, which is to restrict ordinary women from doing a leather and meat business at home, and to do this kind of leather and meat business, you must go to a regular Qinglou, otherwise you will be fined as appropriate, and if it is serious, you will be arrested and imprisoned for several years." ”

"This ...... Father, can Qinglou's skin and meat business still be considered regular? ”

"Of course. In my plan, I will also introduce a brand called 'business license', which is required for general restaurants and brothels and painting shops, and if they don't have it, they will be fined! Or jail! ”

"What? Operating license? Ran Ming heard it in a fog: "This kind of business license has never been available in the past." ”

"Then from this dynasty! Also, in response to the fact that the old bustard may abuse the Qinglou woman, the Qinglou woman can go to the complaint, and once it is discovered, it will be dealt with as the crime of hurting others. ”

Hearing this, Ran Ming couldn't help but tremble a little: "Father, you protect the rights and interests of the women in the Qinglou like this, I'm afraid you will be criticized!" ”

"Am I afraid of criticism? Enough criticism has been given to me. ”

On the second day of the neighborhood, after Ran Min discussed with Wang Meng and others, he made several of his laws public.

Specifically, there is a brand called business license, without which shops, wine shops, tea houses, green houses and other entertainment venues are not allowed to operate, and the state will also formulate a commercial tax based on its annual income.

There is also the issue of safeguarding the rights and interests of women in Qinglou.

Some women who were in the leather and meat business at home and refused to change their ways were arrested and fined or imprisoned, while those old bustards who often abused the women of the Qinglou also received their due retribution.

In order to protect the rights and interests of the women in the Qinglou, Ran Min even set up a special yamen to manage these trivial matters. But whoever has the right to dare to force Liang to be chang, no, no matter who is in the background, will be arrested and put in prison!

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire Wei State was suppressed.

Ran Min believes that he has increased the tax of Qinglou, and Qinglou everywhere will go out of business, who would have thought that the number of Qinglou is not decreasing but increasing, like mushrooms after a rain!

Why?

It turned out that these decrees issued by Ran Min really protected the rights and interests of the women in the Qinglou, so more people simply stopped doing leather and meat business at home, and couldn't they mix a serious business license?

There are also shops, wine shops, teahouses and other places around the country, all of which have hung up the business licenses issued by the government, with this thing, don't think about tax evasion in the future, otherwise the consequences will be extremely serious!

According to these decrees made by Ran Min, especially the implementation of the business license, the financial revenue of Dawei increased a lot in a year.
