Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

In just a few days, all the brothels in Yazhou City were sealed, whether official prostitutes or civilian prostitutes, all were rescued.

In just Zhuguan County with a total population of less than 200, there are more than [-] women in Guangqinglou, which is a shocking ratio.

The sky in Yazhou has changed, but the common people don't know about it. Even if they know, they will probably just sigh casually.Because for ordinary people, no matter who is changed to be the emperor, it will not have a big impact on them, and there will be no shortage of taxes and corvees.

But the closing of the brothel has aroused great concern from the people, and almost everyone is discussing the closing of the brothel.

This is completely a matter that harms the interests of men. The rich will have no place for sex in the future, and bachelors will have no place to vent their desires. Even some people who never go to brothels feel that this should not be done, maybe Someday I will need it.

After Min Chong and the others knew Xiao Yu's move, they were very surprised, and even a little incomprehensible.

Min Chong asked: "Why did Mr. Lang close the brothel?"

Xiao Yu said flatly, "I just don't want to see those women being enslaved."

Min Chong said: "But you have so hastily closed the brothel and banned prostitutes, those bachelors who can't afford a wife may attack the girls from good families."

"There are indeed such hidden dangers, and the penalty needs to keep up with it." Xiao Yu also considered this aspect. In fact, even in a society where prostitution is legal, rape cases still exist, and some countries even have a relatively high crime rate. , it can be seen that it is still a matter of morality and the legal system.

Meng Hong said: "How should I deal with those brothel girls released by Mr. Lang?"

Xiao Yu said: "If anyone is willing to go home, let her go home; if she is willing to marry, let her marry; if she is unwilling, arrange to go to the weaving workshop to reel silk and weave cloth, and go to the rain gear workshop to make rain gear."

Meng Hong frowned: "You want them to work with girls from good families?"

Xiao Yu noticed his attitude: "Brother Meng thinks this is inappropriate?"

"I don't think it's appropriate to do this. Their reputation is already bad, and they are not suitable for women from good families to be together." Meng Hong has read the books of sages and sages, and his thoughts are deeply influenced by ethics.

Xiao Yu said: "I think there is nothing wrong with them as long as they cleanse their lead, draw a clean line from the past, and eat with their hands like ordinary people. I think they are human beings just like us, and there is not much difference. It’s just that the fate is more difficult, some were kidnapped, some were deceived, and some were forced to sell themselves, and they were all unable to make a living, so they fell into that kind of place. Isn’t it worthy of sympathy?”

"It's worthy of sympathy, but it's still not suitable to work with a woman from a good family. It's not good for both parties. Please think twice." Meng Hong clasped his fists and bowed deeply.

Min Chong also said: "It's okay to recruit them to work, but try to separate them as much as possible, and don't arrange them together."

Xiao Yu looked at them and realized that his thoughts might be too naive. For the men of this era, women in brothels are not human beings, but playthings. They can play with them, but they will not allow these women to have sex with their own. Wife and daughter sit on equal footing.

Xiao Yu was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "I will think about it."

He can put these people together to manage the work alone, but if they can't return to normal society, how much better is this than a brothel?Being discriminated against is basically tantamount to social death.

The reason why Xiao Yu dared to propose banning brothels and brothels was because Yazhou was small, with few people, backward in all aspects, its foundation was still shallow, there were no intertwined interest groups, and the government orders were easy to implement.

If even Yazhou can't do it, how will it be implemented nationwide in the future?

But judging from the attitudes of Meng Hong and Min Chong, it is already foreseeable that there will be many obstacles in the future. It is too difficult to reform a society.

The prostitutes in Zhuguan County have been rescued, so naturally they will not be allowed to go back to their old jobs, and they must be held accountable to the end.

Xiao Yu personally went to do ideological work for these women, comforting and consoling them.

Xiao Yu saw the statistical results and found that there were quite a few women who played piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Some of them were wives and daughters of rich families whose homes were confiscated, and some were trained by brothels since they were young, all to cater to the arty needs of customers.

Xiao Yu thought about it, since these women are proficient in literature and ink, why not let them go to school to be teachers.

As soon as he mentioned this idea, he was immediately opposed by Pei Linzhi: "This is not appropriate, sir. Since ancient times, there have been no female wives."

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "If you are talented and virtuous, you are qualified to be a teacher, not limited to men and women. If a talented woman like Ban Jieyu and Xie Daoyun, do you still think they can't be masters?"

"It's not the same. After all, they were born in a brothel. I'm afraid that the parents of those children will find out and go to the school to make trouble, which will affect the prestige of the school, and then affect the prestige of the lord." Pei Linzhi first considered The one who arrives is always Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu thought for a while, and it might not happen. No matter how closed the news is, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. There is no guarantee that any child's elder has visited a brothel. Once there is a commotion, it will be those who will be hurt poor woman.

There is not a saying that the scariest thing is not having no hope, but giving hope and breaking it, that is the real despair.

Xiao Yu sighed and said: "Since this is the case, let's pick some of them and educate them first, let them read and write, cultivate their temperament, and then send them to work in workshops."

After all, many people are still suffering from illnesses and need time to recuperate. It is advisable to educate them for a few months first, bid farewell to the days that have ushered in the past, and let them adapt to normal life.

"Okay." Pei Linzhi agreed, "Would you like to stop by the county government office, sir? Yao Tao has already dealt with the matter of the school, waiting for your next order."

"Then go have a look."

Yao Tao has been an official for more than ten years, and he has long been familiar with the officialdom. Every time a new boss comes, he will do something to show his ability and means, such as building city walls, building official roads, repairing water conservancy, and repairing official schools. Wait to establish political achievements.

But he had never seen someone like Xiao Yu, who had to reduce taxes and recruit soldiers as soon as he came; All brothels were also shut down.

All the things he mentioned are breaking the stereotypes.In some respects, Yao Tao did not quite agree with Xiao Yu's actions, but as a subordinate, he was already used to obeying orders, and he followed what his boss said.

After all, the closure of brothels will only harm the interests of a few people, and will not cause too much dissatisfaction.

When Xiao Yu arrived at the county government office, Yao Tao submitted the official document: "This is the number of schools and the list of teachers who have signed up for the school that the official has counted recently. Your Highness, please have a look."

Xiao Yu looked carefully, Zhuguan County has a population of more than 8, and a total of 24 schools need to be built. Usually, three or four natural villages build one school, and sometimes two villages build one school.There are not many people, mainly because they are too scattered.

Xiao Yu said: "Recruit craftsmen as soon as possible, build the school, and finish it before March next spring. The school is going to start on the first day of March. At the same time, it is also time to start recruiting students. Anyone from six to twelve years old can sign up. Older ones can come if they want, regardless of gender."

Yao Tao said: "I will obey the order."

There are a total of 33 people who sign up for the school master, that is to say, one or two masters can be assigned to a school.Of course, not all the applicants are suitable to be teachers.

Xiao Yu said: "You will invite all these people over later, and I will talk to them one by one."

The teacher is a disseminator of ideas. What kind of seeds they plant will produce what kind of sprouts. This will be related to the future of Yazhou. Pay attention to.

Yao Tao said: "These people have all participated in the Jiupin Zhongzheng System, and their moral character should be able to pass the test."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I know, but we still need to have an interview." He even wanted to conduct unified training for these people. If they are too stubborn, it is better not to mislead others.

"Your Majesty obeys." Yao Tao clasped his fists and cupped his hands, "There is one more thing I need to ask His Highness and Young Master. The house His Highness needs has been found, His Highness is going to see if he is satisfied, but there are still things that need to be rectified?"

Pei Linzhi said, "Have you found it yet? Then let's go and have a look."

Yao Tao said: "I've already found it. It's in the east of the city. I will accompany His Royal Highness and the young master."

Xiao Yu said, "Then I will thank Mr. Yao."

The house that Yao Tao found for them was located in the east of the city. It looked like a big family. Judging from the maintenance of the house, it didn't look like it was abandoned.The yard is very spacious, with many courtyards, several entrances, and a huge garden and lotus pond.

Yao Tao pointed to the lotus pond and said, "Your Majesty, if you want a piece of land, you can fill up this lotus pond."

Xiao Yu said: "No, no, there is no need to fill in the pond, just reclaim a field where the flowers were originally planted. It's just that this yard doesn't seem to be inhabited. Where is the original owner?"

Yao Tao said: "The original owner of this house came from Xuwen, and moved back to Xuwen last year. The house has always been taken care of, and it hasn't been abandoned yet."

Xiao Yu said: "It's so good, don't drive people away because of us. How much does it cost to buy this house, let Lin Zhi send the silver back later."

Yao Tao waved his hand quickly: "No, no, this is a gift from the lower officials to His Highness."

Xiao Yu stopped suddenly, narrowed his eyes and looked at Yao Tao: "I know Master Yao's salary, you have a big family to support, how can you save money from your teeth to buy for me?" The house. This has greatly exceeded Master Yao's ability to bear, if Master Yao did something beyond the rules, wouldn't it be my fault?"

When Yao Tao heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back. Xiao Yu was warning him not to embezzle.He waved his hands again and again: "I don't dare, I don't dare. This house costs 220 taels in total."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Fortunately, it's not too expensive. Lin Zhi, give the silver tael to Master Yao later. Thank you Master Yao for your hard work. We will move here soon, so Master Yao will take care of you in the future."

Yao Tao cupped his fists and bowed: "Welcome Your Highness to enter the city as soon as possible, this is what a subordinate official should do."
