Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Hearing this, Ying Zheng's face darkened a bit.

"Recently, there have been several cases of robbery and theft in Xianyang City. After our trial, we found that quite a few of these people lost all their property because of playing mahjong and poker. The thing of stealing is to get money to play mahjong."

"What does Wang Xiang mean?"

Ying Zheng didn't expect that what Zhao Che originally used as entertainment to pass the time would cause such serious consequences. If he didn't stop it in time, he might have a big problem.

"Your Majesty, I believe that those who steal for fun should be severely punished to set the record straight!"

"Yes, how does Zhang Qing think the widow should deal with these people?"

Ying Zheng nodded, and then directly turned his attention to Zhang Xiang, who had just taken up the post of Tingwei.

"Your Majesty, there is a stipulation in the new laws of the Great Qin Dynasty. I believe that it is useless to just punish those people. We should prevent this from happening at the source."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"When I was studying the new law of the Qin Law, I heard from my husband that HDD should be prohibited in the new law. I don't know what poison is, but Huang and gambling are the behavior of hooking and gambling. This matter is extremely harmful to our Daqin society, and it should be banned by decree!"

"The brothels are going to be banned too?"

Hearing this, the people below were suddenly a little upset.

Among the ancient people, romance and talent have always been linked, and the brothel business is also a legitimate business, which has never been banned by the government.

Firstly, the society in ancient times was unstable. There were many homeless women who had nothing to do. Going to be a girl in a brothel would at least save a way out.

Secondly, there were basically no entertainment programs in ancient times, so many people like to go to places like brothels to relax when they have nothing to do.

Not everyone goes to the brothel for that purpose, some people go there specifically for drinking and reciting poems.

Therefore, after Zhang Xiang proposed to ban brothels, he was immediately opposed by many people.

"Your Majesty, the dangers of gambling are indeed great, but I think that the advantages of brothels outweigh the disadvantages. Otherwise, if brothels are banned, what are those homeless women supposed to do? Don't they just watch them starve? Can you die?"

"Master Zheng is right. Gambling should indeed be banned, but there is absolutely no need to ban brothels."

"Master Ting Wei, please take it back."

……

Faced with the opposition of everyone, Ying Zheng also fell into a difficult situation.

He knew that banning brothels was definitely not Zhang Xiang's opinion alone, but Zhao Che's.

But just as those officials who opposed it said, the existence of brothels, on some levels, does have more advantages than disadvantages. Even if they do not support it, there is no need to ban it.

"Zhang Qing, please tell me why you want to ban brothels first. If you can convince all the lovers, I will agree with your idea."

Zhang Xiang seemed to have expected that Ying Zheng would ask such a question, so he coughed lightly and explained.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, my minister's intention is not to directly prohibit the existence of brothels, but to simply abolish the business of prostitutes. There are three reasons for this."

"First, Your Majesty doesn't know that many prostitutes in the brothel were originally daughters of good families, but due to various reasons such as natural disasters and man-made disasters, they were forced to sell them into the brothel, either voluntarily or by force. Prostitutes, so the number of prostitutes is actually linked to the national strength of our Great Qin. If everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, naturally no one will be willing to sell their bodies in order to survive."

"Second, the crowds in the brothel are crowded. A woman may have to receive different guests every night. This is actually an extremely unhealthy behavior. If someone unfortunately contracts some disease, it is likely to pass through the brothel. Spread over a large area."

"Thirdly, what your lords are asking about is how to arrange these prostitutes. Now that Daqin is about to start construction and development, and when there is a shortage of people, Your Majesty can completely reform the minds of these prostitutes. Let them also contribute to the development of Daqin and support themselves."

After Zhang Xiang finished speaking, Ying Zheng held his beard and began to think.

"Okay, I agree with Zhang Qing's words, and I will announce my decree from now on. For a period of one month, all brothels and prostitutes in Xianyang City will be banned. Whether it is Goulan, brothels or official prostitutes, all prostitutes will be gathered together. As for how these people will settle down , I will leave it to Zhang Qing and you to make the arrangements, how about it?"

"Your Majesty, in addition to banning prostitutes, those who blatantly open gambling houses should also be severely punished, and others should be warned not to use mahjong poker as a means of gambling. It is best to encourage Guizhou heads to report each other and report the facts Confirmers can also get rewards, so that within a few days, the matter can be completely settled."

"Okay, my widow will draw up the decree."

"Since all your lovers have no objections, the widow will draw up a decree, and this decree will spread to the entire Xianyang City from tomorrow. As for how to deal with these people, I will leave it to Zhang Qing."
