Chapter 145 Prostitute
Everyone is thinking about the extent of poverty and weakness that is regarded as a model by later generations and written down in textbooks.
With such a good real-life example as Song Dynasty, officials and kings all excerpted the records and simulated thinking about how to solve it if it were themselves.
[Xiao Xiao added: “In history, the Qing Dynasty had the most large-scale peasant uprisings, but the Song Dynasty, which had the most peasant uprisings, was the richest.
According to historical statistics, more than 400 peasant uprisings broke out in more than 300 years during the two Song dynasties.
In the more than 160 years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were 203 peasant uprisings, including Li Shun's uprising, Songjiang Shuibo Liangshan, Fangla uprising, the Eight-Character Army uprising against the Jin Dynasty, the Red Turban Army uprising...
In order to quell these uprisings, the Northern Song Dynasty consumed a huge amount of national power.
The annual tax revenue of the Northern Song Dynasty was 1.5-2 million taels of silver, and the compensation to Liao and Xixia was 10 taels of silver respectively. Most of the tax revenue was spent on "three public funds" to peacefully suppress peasant uprisings. ”]
With so much money in a year, only a small amount was lost, but the rest of the money was split up like this?
Before the Song Dynasty, the dynasty, which had never been so financially wealthy, was filled with jealousy. Once again, it was a pity that it did not have such a wealthy neighbor to the south.
People who knew about the rebellion, but no one had summed up the numbers and time, were also stunned when they heard it. They didn't expect that Song Dynasty, which had so many literary celebrities, would have such great internal conflicts.
The emperor and officials felt aggrieved when they heard the word uprising. Anchor, that is rebellion!
But considering that she is a person living in the new world, and her descendants all call and even praise the rebels in this way, everyone who is confused can only swallow it, and they don’t really want to find a boring existence in the anchor.
After digesting their emotions, the emperors were all thinking, wasn't the Northern Song Dynasty a country with prosperous civil society, prosperous economy, dominant Confucianism, and the greatest external contradictions?
How on earth do they manage to make life so difficult for the people with so many adjectives that they rebel more than once a year on average? They spend so much money on redundancy that they really need a reform.
Li Shun's uprising was also mentioned when talking about Zhao Guangyi. Zhao Kuangyin remembered it clearly, which is why he recently adjusted his strategy against Sichuan.
However, there were more than 200 uprisings in 160 years, and even his eyes were once again darkened, and he could not understand how Zhao Guangyi and his descendants managed the country.
He can understand that it is useless to the outside world, but internally... If the civil society is prosperous, you will govern the Song Dynasty like this!
He now understood why the anchor had previously said that Zhao Guangyi's level was only second to him among the emperors of the Song Dynasty.
What kind of descendants are these?
Zhao Xu, who felt guilty, carefully looked at the pile of uprisings above. Except for what happened when Li Shun was Taizong, he didn't know about the others. In other words, they were all closest to him, which made him suddenly panic.
The Northern Song Dynasty was not that old. Thinking of the various treacherous ministers and Hua Shigang under Zhao Ji, he no longer had to guess.
He once again regretted that Zhao Ji killed him too early.
Seeing how angry he was, the palace people hurriedly came up to pat his back and press his chest, for fear that he would die.
After all, their official family is also an emperor with no literary interests. Before the heir is established, they are unwilling to be trampled through Tokyo by the Jin people and they cannot let Zhao Xu die like this.
The Qing Dynasty, which had the most large-scale uprisings, has nothing to say. As far as the events in the late Qing Dynasty were concerned, it was not surprising what happened internally.
Lucky viewer No. 8, Guan Qingzhu, was from the Jiajing Dynasty and was a prostitute who was sold by her family since she was a child.
The eunuchs in the palace all got an answer, and they also wanted to get it from the anchor.
"Anchor, in your future generations, will someone sell their daughter to a brothel?"
She didn't want to use the name Hualou Brothel or anything like that, so she just used the most vulgar name. She, as well as thousands of prostitutes from all time and space, stared at the sky, looking at the future girl, nervously worrying about her answer.
Just like the eunuch's question, the only person who could ask such a question is the poor girl who was sold to a brothel by her family.
Liu Bang touched his sword and didn't take it seriously. "There are men and women, high and low. Then there will be men and women who will be sold. It doesn't matter whether they are sold as slaves or sold as prostitutes."
Cao Shen felt that he had gone too far, "If you can work as a slave for a wealthy family, then of course you will not become a prostitute."
But unlike eunuchs, who would not exist without the king, no one thinks that prostitutes and brothels can really disappear.
["Based on some news I have read, this kind of behavior is rare, but it is not completely eliminated. Legally speaking, whether it is prostitution or human trafficking, it is a crime."
She tried hard to mobilize relevant information in her mind, while looking for corresponding information on the computer.
“Like eunuchs, prostitutes are an oppressed group.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 49, under the direct instruction of the great man, we have launched vigorous anti-prostitution operations in various places.
At that time, economically prosperous cities like Shanghai and Beijing were also places where the prostitution industry was developed.
In 1951, Shanghai's anti-prostitution campaign entered its decisive phase. City leaders held a mobilization meeting to prepare for the ideological education of prostitutes and to completely eradicate Shanghai's prostitution industry, which had been harmful for centuries.
In order to promote the smooth transformation of prostitutes, the government decided to prioritize the punishment of brothel owners and madams who tortured them.
At the mobilization meeting, the police brought these criminals to the stage one after another and announced that they had been arrested and sentenced in accordance with the law.
Shocked, a woman named Chen Cuiying was the first to take the stage and accuse the brothel owner of deceiving her into a brothel, forcing her into prostitution, and forcing her sisters to kneel on broken glass, eventually bleeding to death. out.
After her, one prostitute after another stood up and complained about the suffering they suffered..."]
No one knows the suffering of prostitutes better than themselves.
People are at the bottom of society and are looked down upon everywhere. They suffer from various diseases, are punished and abused, and have no hope of a bright future.
All they can think of is to allow all people to study in future generations, and to have laws to protect children, prevent young girls from being sold, and allow her to study for at least a few years.
The prostitutes looked at the sky, unable to believe that one day, even the brothels would be closed.
The literati and poets who have the deepest connection with the land of romance, although they only see the romantic side, they also know in their hearts that that is where they enjoy themselves.
Even for highly sought-after prostitutes, no one thinks about what kind of life they will have after their sex fades in old age, but that doesn't mean they can't think about it.
Some people will pity these poor people who have no control over their lives, but some people will be angry.
Prostitutes are oppressed people, and the existence of brothels is proof of oppression. So what about those people who usually love to go to flower houses?
People who never admit that their existence is unfair oppression scream angrily at the sky, and they still feel that it is the money they paid to give prostitutes a livelihood.
What kind of exploitation is there in a business where money and goods are settled!
"While mobilizing ideas, the people's government also provides free medical treatment for prostitutes.
According to the "History of the Rehabilitation of Prostitutes in Shanghai", more than 7000 prostitutes who were taken in for treatment all suffered from sexually transmitted diseases to varying degrees, with a prevalence rate as high as 97.9%. In addition to sexually transmitted diseases, many also suffered from tuberculosis, heart disease and other serious diseases.
At that time, only penicillin, produced in Western countries, could effectively treat these sexually transmitted diseases.
At that time, we were being blocked by the West, and the RMB was not recognized. If we wanted to buy penicillin, we could only use hard currency like gold.
At that time, it was still the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. The People's Liberation Army on the battlefield also needed a large amount of penicillin. Domestic infrastructure was also in dire straits, and all aspects were in urgent need of large amounts of funds.
If the penicillin exchanged for limited gold is given to sick prostitutes, it will not be used by the wounded who are desperately fighting on the front line.
Mr. Chen was also very hesitant and couldn't bear to hand in the report. In the end, he made up his mind and submitted it to the great man and the Prime Minister for a decision.
After weighing it up, he believed that 'we are doing revolution just to let the poor live a good life'.
Instructions were issued to allocate a batch of penicillin from the medicines used to support the wounded volunteers, "No matter how much foreign exchange is spent, their diseases must be cured. This money can be saved elsewhere, but this money cannot be saved!" '
Mr. Chen also instructed all departments to cure the illnesses of prostitutes, provide them with good jobs, and help them solve marital problems after they join the workforce. ”]
When the anchor, a young girl from their generation who looked clean in their eyes, told them about their illness, many prostitutes lowered their heads and felt that their bodies were dirty.
But what the anchor said later made them stare wide-eyed and unable to believe it.
The old prostitute Liu Rumei stared blankly at the sky, wondering if her ears had heard wrongly.
She grabbed the young Guan Qingzhu next to her and asked urgently: "What did the anchor say just now? Later generations gave all the medicine to those disciple soldiers..."
Guan Qingzhu held her hand and nodded vigorously with red eyes.
"They smashed up the brothels, tried all the madams who bullied the prostitutes, gave them freedom, gave them medical treatment, and provided them with a livelihood and a way out..."
Even the medicine, which was choked by foreigners and could only be bought with gold, was given to prostitutes.
Another prostitute next to her, Su Sanniang, was in a trance and murmured: "Why... a lowly prostitute whose life is as thin as paper deserves to use such expensive medicine..."
Although they can enjoy eating and drinking in the famous flower house, when they go out, they will be ridiculed by others, and people will not even open their eyes when buying things.
Accustomed to being looked down upon and looked down upon by the whole society, she really couldn't understand why a country that had just been established and had everything, including war with foreign countries, would spend so much effort to save prostitutes.
Is this the new society?
Guan Qingzhu picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears. She choked with sobs and said, "They have a good life. They meet someone who treats them sincerely and treats them as important as his sisters..."
Medicine worth thousands of gold was not given to those valuable soldiers on the battlefield, but it was actually given to prostitutes?
People who had seen the soldiers of later generations and yearned for them frowned, not understanding this policy of later generations.
They agree that prostitutes are also a pitiful group, but most people also look down on this group. They may sympathize with the individuals inside, but they do not believe that the lives of the prostitutes are more worthy than those of the soldiers.
It is also because of this long-standing concept that later generations' attitude towards the prostitution industry and prostitutes surprised them even more.
Many people who really have ideals and ambitions also lowered their heads, thinking that if they were to make such a decision by themselves, they would choose soldiers over prostitutes without hesitation.
The common people in their words probably do not include prostitutes.
"They built this country just to let the poor live a good life, including eunuchs and prostitutes..." After saying this sentence, the poor people in the family who sold their children and daughters, or those who were sold by their families, trembled all over. , speechless anymore.
Those soldiers did not hesitate to rescue the disaster, because the victims were all their family members. They saved this place, and in the future, if something happened in their hometown, others would rescue them.
The same goes for prostitutes. These are all their sisters, and they are fighting outside so that no more sisters at home will become prostitutes.
After thinking clearly about the logic here, people with ideals and ambitions can breathe a sigh of relief and feel ashamed.
The ideals of future generations are simply stated, not as moving as Hengqu's four sentences, but one sentence of 'let the poor live a good life' is already something that they do not dare to think about.
If future generations dare to think, future generations will also dare to do it.
In the face of such an ideal, those who once questioned the "treason" of later generations will also reflect on whether it is the true imperial power and various long-standing feudal ethics that are the reason why so many poor people do not have enough to eat and cannot live long. Countless reasons.
In the Song Dynasty, when the commodity economy was developed, the official prostitution industry was also developed. Anyone who did not go to the scholar-bureaucrats would have problems. Wang Anshi's family did not even accept a concubine. His wife couldn't stand it and took the initiative to take a concubine for him and asked him to send it away. , are very few.
As one of the group, Su Shi also visited these places. At this time, he also lowered his head, feeling guilty that he had never cared about the suffering before him.
He now understands why even if the anchor likes it, he only says that he likes his poems and Li Yu's literary creations, but for ancient people like them from parallel time and space, anything else has no such thing as fluctuations.
With such a group of ancestors who created a new life for them, she could really only appreciate their wisdom, talent, and character.
Mrs. Zheng, whose family was once too poor to eat, could only watch helplessly as her parents-in-law sold their daughter, burst into tears.
In exchange for her daughter, the whole family could eat and drink for several days, but her daughter did not survive two years in the brothel.
When she went to ask, those people still had a very disgusting attitude, saying that her daughter got sick within a year, and after suffering for more than half a year, she rolled up a mat and threw it away.
"Fangfang...Mother's Fangfang..."
She cried loudly, wondering why her daughter who was unlucky enough to be born in her belly did not live in the next few hundred years.
Living there, even if the daughters are still forced to become prostitutes for food, someone will find justice for them and give them a new life.
Maybe given a little more time, she wouldn't even allow it to be sold.
