"Does the high official also know Gu Tongpan?"
Xiangxiang held the wine glass and opened her wonderful eyes.
"Very familiar. Speaking of which, Gu Song has to call him uncle next time."
Zhou Ping said softly, without comment.
He wasn't just talking nonsense. He knew all about Gu Song's background, so he could just borrow it.
Zhao Hong smiled. This is an advantage, and it makes the other party feel disgusted.
"Official, it turns out that you are Mr. Gu's uncle. Mr. Gu usually comes in the middle of the night. I heard that the imperial court was implementing some new policies on Jiangnan East Road and inspecting the private affairs of officials, but he did not want to publicize it."
Xiangxiang said with a smile and toasted to the three of them.
"Master Li, you are the leader of the Jinling trip. If a senior official from my family wants to stay and have sex with you, no one will come to disturb you in the middle of the night, right?"
Zhou Ping asked casually while drinking.
Zhao Hong's heart moved slightly. This elder brother-in-law is very thoughtful and will never make any mistakes without aim.
"My lord, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid something is wrong. I let you down by showing off your skills and not your body."
Xiangxiang looked at Zhao Hong, gently caressing Zhao Hong's six-pack abs through her clothes, her eyes loving.
This powerful and sturdy body is definitely much stronger than Gu Song's silver wax gun head.
"Everyone Li, you just said that Gu Tongpan didn't come until midnight."
Zhao Hong gently opened Xiang Xiang's claws, picked up the wine glass, and touched it with the other party.
"Also, apart from having a lot of money, being handsome and powerful, and having a strong body, I don't seem to have any shortcomings. Can't everyone just make do with it?"
Under the authority of the official, how could a lowly official prostitute say no?
Just like that Xu Ji, if she had not jumped into the lake, she would not have been ravaged by Shi Yao.
This guy is so bold that he dares to touch his own woman. He should be exiled or go to practice the Sunflower Book.
"High officials are really good at talking."
Xiangxiang covered her mouth and smiled softly, but still shook her head.
"Master, I can't do it today. Mr. Hu Xianggong of Jiangning County is coming tonight. I have to refuse you. I hope you will forgive me."
"What about tomorrow night? Mr. Hu won't come again, will he? Later in the night, too!"
Zhou Ping then asked.
"I just said that Gu Tongpan will come tomorrow. He comes once every three days, very punctual, and he comes all night long. I dare not deceive several high-ranking officials. As for Mr. Hu, he is here with Gu Tong Come here when you can't judge, the days are uncertain."
Xiangxiang raised her wine glass with a smile.
"My lord, I will offer you a drink as an apology."
The imperial court never asked about the affairs of officials. Even if he knew it, it would be harmless. The king and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together. Who dares to take care of these elegant matters?
"Everyone Li, it's okay. Let's meet up next time."
Zhao Hong smiled slightly and raised his wine glass.
What he wanted to know was already inseparable.
Before the wine was finished, there was a noise, and the door was pushed open, and a scribe in his forties strode in, followed by several servants, their faces full of flesh and menace.
The madam who followed behind was cautious.
"Didn't you say that Xiangxiang is taking a rest? Why does she still have guests?"
The scribe saw that several people were drinking, their movements seemed to be orderly, and their expressions looked better.
"I have met Mr. Hu."
Xiangxiang stood up and gave a salute.
"If you meet my husband, why don't you get out of here! Do you want to have a taste of what it's like to be in the county jail?"
The evil slave behind the scribe pointed at Zhao Hong and the others and started shouting angrily.
Zhao Hong stopped the angry-looking Tian Yi and the two, stood up, and said goodbye to everyone with a calm expression.
"Master Li, my husband, I take my leave."
The scribe raised his head with disdain on his face and allowed Zhao Hong and the others to leave.
"Mom, who is that person? How could he be so cruel?"
Zhou Ping came out with a face full of displeasure, not sure whether it was true or not.
"High official, this is Mr. Hu Xianggong, the magistrate of Jiangning County. I can't afford to offend him!"
The madam had an apologetic smile on her face, fearing that the other party would both refund the money and cause trouble.
"Hu Zhixian, what a great official power! I am in such good spirits and in good health!"
Zhao Hong smiled coldly and strode away.
Not only was he taken advantage of by beautiful women, but he was also frequently looked down upon. This incognito private interview is really frustrating.
A few people came out and stood on the river bank, looking at the brightly lit flower boats on the river, laughing and laughing, but were speechless for a moment.
"Fireworks in the alleys, and the promise of a beautiful barrier. Fortunately, I can find the right person. I can stay close to the red green and live a romantic life, and my life will be smooth. Youth lasts for a while, and I can bear the frivolous reputation in exchange for a shallow drink and a low voice."
Tian Yi shook his head and sighed.
"Stop being so arrogant! Soon, I will shut down these...official brothels!"
Zhao Hong stared at Tian Yi and said fiercely.
Even his right-hand men, the pig-killing brothers, can write and write, which shows the depth of the evil influence of Mi Mi.
Social progress should not only be in this aspect.
"Your Majesty did not punish Shi Yaozhi, but he was just waiting for the opportunity to extinguish this malaise in one fell swoop?"
Zhou Ping understood something instantly.
Zhao Hong's move was not just a matter of anger and standing up for Xu Ji, right?
"Yes, all official prostitutes can be lifted from their lowly status, changed to good status, and restored to freedom. This is a major move of this dynasty and should also be a major good governance. Those who cannot see hope will understand that there are always problems in life. has hope."
Zhao Hong paused and continued:
"Don't put off today's matters until tomorrow, strike while the iron is hot. Let Liu Kezhuang and Zeng Ji write an article in the China Daily to abolish the status of officials and prostitutes, and publish it soon. At the same time, I will inform all the people in the Song Dynasty and let the local officials start to deal with it. The matter of deportation of official prostitutes from their citizenship must not be delayed!"
Except for some official prostitutes who played musical instruments, singing and dancing in the Jiaofang Division and were classified as court officials, the rest found their own way, got married and had children, and no longer complained about social injustice.
Who do these registered official prostitutes facilitate? They contribute to the corruption and malaise of the officials. They are sensual and sensual. They are of no benefit to the country or the people. There is really no need to exist.
Just like the "undercover" Xu Ji beside him, if it weren't for her status as an official prostitute, would she have been willing to let Shi Miyuan do it?
If it weren't for being an official prostitute, would she have been wantonly humiliated by Shi Yaozhi and forced to jump into the river?
"Released soon!"
Zhou Ping was taken aback and blurted out.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with the prostitutes among the people after the official prostitutes leave their humble status?"
Zhao Hong acted resolutely and truly fulfilled that sentence, ten thousand years is too long, seize the day.
"As long as you are not selling good people into prostitution, what qualifications do you have to control other people's families? The government only needs to come forward and regulate it."
Private prostitution is also a necessity for livelihood. Red light districts can be set up, and whoever is willing to engage in it and who is willing to consume it can do whatever they want. As long as I am willing, healthy and clean, I can do whatever I want.
As for whether it would affect folk customs and whether standing and talking would not hurt his back, he would definitely not do it.
"Your Majesty is truly the savior of the women in my court!"
Tian Yi gave a thumbs up sincerely, with little stars in his eyes.
Although there are thousands of people, I will go. In Zhao Hong's case, it's not just talk.
"Your Majesty serves the country and the people, and I am ashamed of myself!"
Zhou Ping bowed solemnly and marveled at Zhao Hong's decision.
Let the prostitutes escape from suffering and let the people at the bottom see hope. This is great good governance.
"The deregistration of official prostitutes is just a small step in a long journey of thousands of miles. If we want to enrich the country and strengthen the army, we still have to go back to clarifying the administration of officials and promoting martial arts."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Gu Song, the general judge of Jiankang Prefecture, Hu Yuanfeng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, and several officials from Jiangnan East Road have already begun secret investigations."
Zhou Ping understood the sound of oars and lights on the Qinhuai River and spoke softly.
Civil and military affairs are the two legs of a dynasty, both of which are indispensable.
"It's not just officials, there are also subordinates! Sometimes, subordinates are more harmful than officials!"
Zhao Hong seemed to have something on his mind, pointing out the harm done to subordinate officials.
Officials govern, officials govern, officials are the foundation. Compared with officials who are superior, subordinate officials have more contact with the people, and their words and deeds are more harmful.
"Your Majesty, the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall is about to assess students, and classes will start soon. What should we do with the women who come to apply for the exam?"
Tian Yi's words made Zhao Hong startled.
"Is there any girl who wants to apply for the martial arts hall?"
Does the martial arts hall’s admissions notice state that it does not admit women?
"Your Majesty, there are not many women applying for the exam, about ten or twenty."
Tian Yi answered cautiously, fearing that Zhao Hong would veto it.
If that were the case, Wei Sisi and Shi Huiyu wouldn't know how sad they would be.
"so……"
Zhao Hong lowered his head and pondered.
He comes from a later generation and has no idea that men are superior to women. Therefore, the students he recruits are "patriotic young men" rather than "patriotic young men."
He also did not expect that there would be such brave and independent women in the Southern Song Dynasty, where foot binding had already begun.
"Your Majesty wants to be a wise king, so you must not go back on your word, lest you become the laughing stock of the world."
Tian Yi whispered, with personal information.
"You kid, you still use provocation!"
Zhao Hong laughed.
"There are only ten or twenty people. The number is too small! If there are hundreds of people, every time, it will be a blessing for the country."
If women can go to school and receive education like men, it will appear that the social atmosphere is inclusive and upward. Women who come to apply for the martial arts hall are even more rare and precious.
Among other things, women are indispensable as medical staff in the military.
Men and women are matched, so work is not tiring. A martial arts hall with both boys and girls is more tolerant and pioneering, and can become a favorite among young people all over the world.
"Your Majesty, how will the assessment be conducted? It can't be as strict as the male students, right?"
Tian Yi felt relieved, his little eyes shining brightly.
This time, Wei Sisi finally had an explanation.
"For women, the standards must be lowered. As long as they are healthy and not disabled, they can be recruited."
Zhao Hong looked at the young people walking by the Qinhuai River with swords in their hands. These people had different accents. They were all aspiring young people who came to apply for the martial arts hall.
I don’t know if there are any female students here?
"Your Majesty, the next generation of famous kings, I am so impressed that I prostrate myself to the ground!"
Tian Yi smiled happily and then took out a memorial and presented it.
"What's this?"
Zhao Hong couldn't help but be startled.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial of Minister Wei. Please read it to your Majesty."
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
After opening Wei Liaoweng's memorial and reading it, Zhao Hong shook his head and couldn't help but smile.
Women were prohibited from applying to the Jinling Lecture Hall.
Fortunately, he could figure it out!
"Tell Minister Wei and Vice Principal Wei that I know."
"that's all?"
Tian Yi was confused.
"That's it. Otherwise, what else? Do you want me to ban women from applying to the martial arts hall? In that case, wouldn't I become a laughing stock in the eyes of the world for going back on my word?"
Zhao Hong glanced at the flower boats on the Qinhuai River, his eyes burning like a torch.
The abolition of official and prostitute status aims to combat malaise and improve the status of women. If women are not allowed to apply for the Jinling Martial Arts Lecture Hall, wouldn't it be another disguised form of suppression of women, which is inconsistent?
The rules and regulations of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism restrict women too much, and foot binding is a cancer that must be abolished.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"Your Majesty, the next generation of famous kings!"
Zhou Ping and Tian Yi complimented Zhao Hong one after another.
"Stop flattering! It's so... so tiring!"
Zhao Hong said with emotion.
As the king of a country, how easy is it to get rid of the malaise, clarify the administration, inspire the people, and promote the martial arts of the Song Dynasty?
