Chapter 399 The Girls' Arrangements
Chapter 399 The Girls' Arrangements
"From today on, all brothels in Daqian will be closed, and the girls in the brothels will be properly arranged by the local government..."
There was no need for any haggling. Emperor Xuan was willing, half of the ministers were willing, and the rest wanted to oppose but didn't have the ability to do so, so the matter was done.
An incident that should have caused a sensation was resolved so simply without anyone saying anything.
As for the owners behind the brothels, what to do after they lose the brothels as money-making machines is something they need to consider.
Three days later, the imperial edict was sent to all parts of Daqian.
What comes next is when things get really hard.
How to arrange these girls?
However, the placement of these girls in the capital is relatively simple.
Xu Jinyu, Prince An, Princess Wuyang, and Princess Changle stood at the intersection of the street, welcoming the confused girls who came out of the brothel.
Many girls heard that they were free and no longer had to worry about being exploited by the madams or redeem themselves, as their indentures had been burned. Their first reaction was not to cheer, but to rush towards the river behind the brothel.
No one is born mean.
He was stopped by Princess Changle who was well prepared.
Xu Jinyu patted his chest in fear and said, "Fortunately you were prepared, otherwise it would have been a sin."
Changle smiled and said, "You are young and don't know the hardships these women have gone through. They have no other way out of the brothel, so they might as well jump into the river and put an end to it all. Now is the time for you, Prince An, to play a role."
Xu Jinyu was still a little confused, "What role does it play?"
"Aren't you looking for someone to take the children's voice test? Now you don't have to redeem the girls, why don't you hurry up and make a call? Aren't you short of people in your workshops?"
Xu Jinyu was even more puzzled: "Aren't we here to recruit people? Does it matter who calls?"
Princess Changle smiled more meaningfully: "You are Prince An, the Prince who opened a women's vocational and technical school and enabled countless women to have a skill, the Prince who took the lead in opening a women's bank and enabled women to own private property, the Prince who opened a workshop and recruited women to work so that women could stand up straight, so don't underestimate yourself."
Following Princess Changle's words, Xu Jinyu fell into a dizzy state, just like a bowl of hot soup after getting up early, making people feel extremely comfortable all over.
The smile on his face also had a hint of stupidity.
Princess Changle couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xu Jinyu's appearance. This little girl who appeared suddenly brought so many surprises to Daqian. No wonder everyone in the court was so tolerant of him.
"Stop giggling and shout."
"it is good."
Xu Jinyu turned around and faced these confused girls, showing her warmest smile.
"Hey, girls, I'm hiring workers here, only female workers, do you want to come?"
The young and lively voice was so different on this street, and all the girls looked towards Xu Jinyu.
At this sight, one of the girls recognized Xu Jinyu's face.
"Your Highness Prince An! You must be His Highness Prince An!"
Xu Jinyu agreed with a smile: "It's me."
"Your Highness Prince An, you are recruiting female workers. I heard that you are also recruiting girls with literary talent. Is that true?"
"Yes."
"Are you still looking for it now?"
"Find."
"What kind of female worker is your highness? I don't have much strength in my hands, I don't know if I can do it."
"Don't worry about this. Those with less strength will use the less powerful method, and those with greater strength will use the more powerful method."
·······
Xu Jinyu answered the girls' questions with good temper.
These girls who were kicked out of the brothel were all confused. They had no relatives, and even if they had relatives, they would not recognize them. After being kicked out of the brothel, they really didn't know what to do in the future.
What they learned since childhood was how to please men, and once they left the brothel they had no means of making a living.
Even if there is a little savings in the women's bank, what can that little savings do?
Xu Jinyu's recruitment is like timely help.
"Your Highness Prince An, I want to go to your workshop."
"Okay, go there and register."
There was a long queue in front of Xu Jinyu, but there were too many girls on this street, and Xu Jinyu's workshop could not handle them all, so people at the back of the queue started scrambling for them.
Seeing this, the people behind Princess Wuyang and Princess Changle also shouted.
"Princess Changle's Mansion is hiring."
"Princess Wuyang's residence is hiring."
As soon as this voice came out, the girls who were fighting in the back were quiet for a moment, and then rushed to the table in front of Princess Changle and Princess Wuyang.
"Our family is also hiring!"
A voice came from beside Xu Jinyu.
Xu Jinyu turned around and saw that it was Fang Yang, the Minister of Works.
Fang Yang smiled at Xu Jinyu and then emphasized it again.
"We only recruit female workers, and the managers are also female workers, so please rest assured."
With the appearance of Fang Yang, officials from the capital city appeared on this street one after another, with signs advertising recruitment of female workers.
Xu Jinyu smiled widely.
[I knew there were still many good people in this world! With so many people, Lei Xincheng doesn't have to worry about the placement of these girls. Everyone can take care of it.]
Xu Jinyu was very happy. Several officials even came to Xu Jinyu and walked around him, hoping that Xu Jinyu would remember them.
It would be better to mention them in the morning court.
Princess Changle looked at the officials who seemed like reincarnated saints, with a cold light in her eyes. She thought that these people had better be really doing good things. Even if they were just trying to curry favor with their superiors, they would pretend to the end.
Otherwise, don't blame her for being rude. She glanced at Xu Jinyu who was still smiling foolishly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.
Now that Xu Jinyu is here, she doesn't have to let these girls suffer.
Princess Changle suddenly raised her voice,
"Wuyang!"
Princess Wuyang helped up a girl who was kneeling in front of her to thank her, and turned back to look at her aunt in confusion.
Princess Changle looked at the officials at the scene one by one, and the look in her eyes made the officials who had guilty consciences lower their heads.
"Wuyang, you are from the inner guards, keep an eye on these good people. If any good person dares to take advantage of this incident to mess things up, report to His Majesty immediately!"
"Oh~~"
Princess Wuyang responded.
However, Princess Changle's meaningful words still made many people sweat profusely.
[What are you doing? These girls are free and have registered permanent residence. How can they do anything wrong?]
Xu Jinyu was confused. Princess Wuyang had a vague idea of the darkness beneath the prosperity of the capital, but she was not particularly clear about the details.
【Ah! Someone is really planning to mess around. This Lord Yuan plans to take an oiran home under the pretext of recruiting workers, and sleep with her. He only needs to pay a few taels of silver a month. This is much cheaper than paying thousands of taels of silver to see an oiran once before.】
[This Lord Ning plans to recruit more girls and set up a secret brothel. The open brothels are not allowed to be opened, but no one cares about the secret ones. ]
[This Lord Wen plans to recruit a few pretty girls and sell them directly outside the capital. After all, the emperor is far away and no one will find out.]
[There are also Lord Huang, Lord Lu, Lord Li... These people are worse than animals, but I thought they were all good people.
[Hehehe...]
Xu Jinyu had already started sneering.
The faces of those officials who had other ideas became uglier than each other. They were discovered by Lord Xu on the spot, and it would be difficult for them in the future.
[There are so many tricks. I will keep a close eye on you guys from tomorrow on. If these girls don’t have enough to eat, I will impeach you.]
Princess Wuyang, who had her back to Xu Jinyu, was also angry after being deceived. She glanced at the officials who looked unhappy and shouted, "Someone come!"
"Sir, please give me your orders!"
Princess Wuyang has been in the Internal Guard for quite some time and now has several people under her.
"Please help me record the names of the ladies who did good deeds today. I will go and visit them every few days. I want to know whether these girls are doing well."
Princess Wuyang spoke with a smile on her face, but the coldness in her eyes frightened all the officials.
Those officials who had their own ideas in mind suppressed their own shameful thoughts.
There were even officials who slapped themselves hard.
"You clearly know that Lord Xu is here, but you still have such evil ideas. Isn't this just looking for excitement?"
