Not to mention anything else, Jiaofangsi is much higher than other brothels in terms of level just because of the prostitutes who are proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. What's more, among these official prostitutes are many family members who were once high-ranking officials and nobles. Men, the physical enjoyment alone is enough to make them flock to it, if you add the spiritual enjoyment as well. It is a simple thing to have both physical and mental health, and double the happiness. It really makes them die through fire and water.
Han Du looked at the dozen or so people in front of him, all of different ages. The older ones are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones are only twelve or thirteen years old. But even for those who are twelve or thirteen years old, although their faces are still childish, it can be seen from their delicate facial features that these are first-class beauties. Those who were fifteen or sixteen years old were even more eye-catching. Even without makeup, Han Du couldn't help but feel a flash of surprise in his eyes when he looked at them.
Han Du's eyes have been trained through the four magic arts of "makeup, plastic surgery, PS, and beautification". They can make Han Du feel amazing. Each of these people can be said to be stunningly beautiful.
It was stunning, but Han Du was still a little dissatisfied with having a child. He couldn't help but frown and asked: "Why are there still children here?"
After hearing this, Aunt Li quickly replied: "Reporting to your lord, these children are all orphans who were taken in before and were planned to be trained since they were young. Later, the Jiaofang Division became worse and worse day by day, and they had no place to go, so they kept Stay here."
"Will Jiaofangsi take in orphans?" Han Du felt a little confused. Haven't I heard that the official prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division are all the female dependents of officials who had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated? Why would you adopt an orphan yourself?
When Grandma Li heard this, she understood Han Du's doubts and knew that the master had fallen into the same misunderstanding as ordinary people, thinking that the Jiaofang Division only had the female dependents of officials. So he explained to Han Du, "Sir, some of the girls in the Jiaofang Division are the family members of officials who committed crimes. Once the officials' homes were confiscated and exiled, the old and ugly men were all exiled. Only the young and beautiful female members of the family were left and were taken into the Jiaofangsi as slaves. However, there are only a small number of young and beautiful female members of the family, and these alone cannot support the Jiaofangsi. Therefore, the Jiaofangsi will also take in some from the private sector. Orphans with potential should be nurtured by themselves.”
It turns out that this is the case, Han Du understands.
"They are all still innocent. If..." Grandma Li glanced at Han Du, lowered her head and gritted her teeth. Grandma Li's intention was very obvious. If Han Du wanted to take it, he could naturally possess it.
But Han Du doesn't have this idea now. He is worried about Princess Anqing. How can he think about this? However, Han Du was also a little surprised that these women were still innocent. You must know that this Jiaofangsi is not a brothel. There are Qingguer people in the brothel. They are the pillars cultivated in each brothel. In order to maximize profits, they will not let go easily, let alone let them lose their innocence easily. But in the Jiaofang Division, there is no Qingguer. Logically speaking, all official prostitutes have to accept customers.
When the Jiaofang Division had been without a chief official for more than half a year, these beautiful people were still able to maintain their innocence. I am afraid that Grandma Li risked her life and tried every means to preserve it. Han Du didn't believe that all the officials who came here to pick up prostitutes were all decent men and would not covet the innocence of these beauties. From this point of view, Grandma Li can be considered a good person.
Having almost understood the situation, Han Du nodded in vain and said to everyone with a serious expression: "Originally, I didn't want to pay attention to you. I have a lot of chores on my own. How can I care about your life and death?"
Everyone was stunned after hearing Han Du's words. They didn't expect that this newly appointed adult would speak so directly, saying that he didn't want to care about their lives.
Aunt Li felt even more nervous, even though she knew that when Han Du took office as a new official, there would definitely be three fires. But she didn't expect that Han Du didn't even want to care about them. Considering the recent rumors in the market, Grandma Li couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Han Du is indeed as troubled as he said. If he really leaves them alone, then they really have no hope.
"However, someone told me that you are also a group of pitiful people and we cannot ignore you." Han Du said, leaned back and continued: "I heard this, so you are able to be here today. Meet me."
When Han Du saw that his words made the crowd a little commotion, he kept silent. When everyone was quiet again, Han Du slowly said: "So, now I want to ask you, can you obey my orders 100%?"
"Don't worry, sir. I promise that everyone will definitely obey your instructions. If you can't do it, you can ask me about it." Grandma Li was overjoyed and replied categorically.
Grandma Li has great expectations for Han Du. The reason why Jiaofangsi is not managing well and cannot make ends meet does not mean that it is the problem of Jiaofangsi itself. But because the official position of the Jiaofang Secretary was too low in the past, those shameless officials took advantage of their status to have sex for free without paying. But Han Du was different. Han Du himself was an official of the sixth rank. This status alone surpassed at least 70% of the officials who came to the Jiaofang Division. As long as these 70% of the officials can be made to spend their money, Jiaofangsi can not only continue to operate, but even get better and better.
Now everyone in the Jiaofang Division is standing on the edge of the cliff. Being able to grasp Han Du's life-saving straw makes Grandma Li thankful. As for lying to others, and relying on the people below to listen to her words to support her immediate superiors, not to mention that Granny Li didn't know how to do this in the first place. Even if she did, she wouldn't dare to play in front of Han Du. If she angers Han Du and no longer cares about their life or death in a fit of anger, then she is truly seeking death.
When Han Du saw that Grandma Li had finished speaking, no one had any objections. Then he nodded and said: "Okay, in that case, I will take charge of this teaching workshop. I can't guarantee it for other officials, but I will let you live a better life and live with more dignity. It can still be guaranteed.”
"Thank you, Sir..." Everyone bowed down and thanked Han Du. Living with dignity is something no one can imagine, especially those official prostitutes. After experiencing so many things, they had long accepted their fate. As long as they can live a better life, that is their greatest hope.
