"Cui Lanlan, a slave, was adopted by her mother since she was a child. She can only sing and dance, but cannot embroider. Now she only relies on her voice and appearance to please others in order to survive. Unfortunately, the imperial court has decreed that brothels are not allowed to operate, and we are no longer allowed to do so. It is allowed to sell one's virginity! But if that's the case, where will the food and clothing come from? I have heard for a long time that the imperial court is in charge of the life and death of the refugees. Why does it ignore the life and death of poor people like us? Please give me Yuan Fu. Give slaves a chance to eat and survive, woo woo!"
At this time, Cui Lanlan, a brothel girl kneeling in front, cried pitifully and wiped her tears.
"Liu Xiang'er of the slave family is a thin horse from Yangzhou. She was born to only provide entertainment to the masters. There is really no other way to make a living. Now that the imperial court allows the masters to stop having fun with the slave family, how can the slave family live? I heard that the imperial court is now In order to rectify the atmosphere, we don’t allow our gentlemen to come to our place to have fun, saying it’s so disrespectful! What a pity, our gentlemen are actually gentlemen. They came to us to help us in the name of discussing the rhythm of poetry because they took pity on our difficulties in making a living. Otherwise, how could I, Liu Xiang'er, a weak woman, survive to this day? Please ask Yuan Fu for advice so that we can continue to make a living from this! Woo hoo!"
Then, another brothel girl named Liu Xiang'er also cried sadly, and even defended the civil servants.
The brothel women kneeling in front of the gate of Yuan Mansion then began to cry one by one, crying about how important the brothel industry is to them.
"Although you are called prostitutes, you are still the daughters of the Han family. The imperial court will not care about your life or death, and will naturally plan your livelihood. I have received the decree and allocated three million silver dollars to open the Shuntian Rites and Music Academy. Among you, Those who are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or good at singing and dancing can teach at the Rites and Music Academy, or they can sign up as students and learn various skills. After completing their studies, the students will be selected to join the Rites and Music Department or other yamen with departments to participate in various For official celebrations and activities, those who are not talented in vocal music and dance can go to Sunchon Medical College and work in various women's hospitals in the future. After graduation, they will work as gynecologists or female nurses in women's hospitals, so that women all over the world can be better. Seeking medical treatment, those who are outstanding will be granted official status! There are also workshops such as embroidery workshops and painting workshops that only recruit women. The imperial court has prepared these positions to help you make a living after you become good students. You will all be classified as civilian households, but Before marriage, the household registration will be temporarily recorded under the name of the Ministry of Rites, and after marriage, it will be converted to medical registration or civil registration!"
Bi Ziyan's residence was not far from Yuan Keli's residence, and when he was going out, he saw many brothel girls kneeling in front of Yuan's house, so he came over and said something to these brothel girls on behalf of Yuan Keli. stand up.
Many brothel girls became quite excited after hearing this.
Some brothel girls therefore asked: "Is it true, this official, that the court will really care about our life and death?"
"That's great!"
"I didn't expect that the court would be so thoughtful!"
"Yes, you don't have to work hard to save money to redeem yourself!"
Some brothel girls who are not willing to entertain people with sex, but are willing to live an ordinary life. Most of them are forced brothel girls. After hearing this, they are very happy.
Bi Ziyan nodded: "Not only does it care about your life and death, but the court will also give you a chance to start a new life, and your deed of betrayal will be destroyed by the court for you. I, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, have long had an ancestral precept that no one is allowed to keep slaves. , and now most wealthy people keep slaves in the name of raising children and raising daughters. But now, although your mother raised you for a while, she asked you to sell your body. Naturally, the court will not recognize such an adoptive parent relationship! So get out of here. "
And because Bi Ziyan said this, he retreated a lot.
The scholars who secretly organized these brothel girls to surround Yuan Keli pretended to be passing by and stood behind him. Now when these scholars saw this, they all looked quite unhappy.
Among them, a scholar named Chen Mingxia even said: "You are really generous. With three million yuan of silver coins, you would rather be kind to a brothel girl than give me, a gentleman, any favors!"
Li Senxian, the scholar, still sneered, looked at the many women in the brothel who were still kneeling in front of them and said: "But things are not that simple. Not everyone is willing to be an ordinary woman, raising a husband and raising children."
Just as the scholar Li Senxian said, at this time, there are still many women kneeling here, holding up a bowl.
In particular, some courtesans and courtesans who are already at the top of the industry, or brothel girls who are greedy for wealth and pleasure and are unwilling to live a hard life, still do not want to be arranged like this.
Cui Lanlan said at this time: "This official is so generous, we are despicable people, we are not worthy of doing these serious jobs. In addition, I heard that the court did this because it did not want the Han compatriots to look down on themselves. In fact, The slaves are not Han people. They are just uncivilized barbarians. They are born to only please men. Please let the government let us make a living by charming men. I am grateful!"
Liu Xiang'er also said: "We have lost our virginity. We are inherently lowly. We are not good people by nature and are not worthy of being Han people. We are no longer treated as our compatriots. Our red lips are tasted by thousands of people, which is our destination. If we marry as a commoner's wife , will only bring harm to the family and the country, and cause the heaven and earth to fail. Please Yuan Fu and this official report truthfully, so that we lowly people can continue to entertain people with our sounds and lusts, without caring about our lives or lives!"
At this time, the civil servant Zhu Yanxi also came here in a sedan chair because he learned that there were many people in front of the Yuan Mansion. When he saw this, he smiled and said: "Yuanfu, Ge Lao, you heard it, they themselves are all Why do you treat them as human beings when they are humble and unwilling to be good? Why should you treat them as human beings, make them find other ways, and give them a future? What's the point of being Han people who are not Han people? Since ancient times, when has China been distinguished according to its clan? Is it humiliating? It’s just a place where virtuous people live!”
"Such a person is not worthy of being a member of the Han family, and does not deserve the blood of my Han family! Since you are disobeying the decree, and even intending to force your servants to disobey the decree, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you!"
Yuan Keli suddenly spoke.
Then, he ordered again: "My guards will kill those who block the road and resist the order!"
Yuan Ke immediately issued such an order.
Kill decisively!
Without hesitation!
Colonel Zhu You arranged for escorts for the important ministers. After all, he was also worried that the reform ministers would be murdered.
At this time, Yuan Keli gave an order, and the guards around him drew their swords directly.
Some of Yuan Keli's own servants who had fought with him also drew their swords.
These people walked directly towards these brothel girls.
These brothel girls have always been with literati and elegant people for a long time, and they don't know the cruelty of swords. They are shocked when they see this. They are so beautiful, shouldn't they be loved and cherished?
Zhu Yanxi also shouted at this time: "Yuanfu, what are you doing? How can you attack a weak woman! You are unbecoming of a gentleman!"
puff!
At this time, Yuan Keli personally took his sword and stabbed it into the back of Cui Lanlan who stood up and was about to leave, immediately killing Cui Lanlan.
"Lan Lan!"
Cui Lanlan is Zhu Yanxi's confidante and a popular courtesan.
At this time, when Cui Lanlan raised her head due to being stabbed by a sword, Zhu Yanxi recognized her and shouted subconsciously.
But he quickly shut up. He really didn't dare let people know about his relationship with Cui Lanlan.
