    ,

    Nanjing, Qinhuai Flower Street.

    Zhu Yuanzhang built Fuleyuan here, and captured the wives and daughters of enemies or criminal officials into Fuleyuan to be official prostitutes.

    It is exclusively for wealthy businessmen and big businessmen to get money, and officials are forbidden to enter.

    In Fuleyuan, men must wear green headscarves, red waistbands and fur boots.  Women wear black hats and black regular scripts, but no fancy clothes.  When they walk, they should only walk on the two sides of the street, not in the middle of the street.

    Fuleyuan was relocated to the vicinity of Wuding Bridge. From this center, various Qinlou and Chu Pavilions began to appear, and finally evolved into an entertainment street.

    That is, Qinhuai Flower Street.

    The funniest thing is Huiguang Temple, this temple was built from the leftover materials of Dabaoen Temple.  In the Wanli period, it was surrounded by many brothels, and the willpower of the monks was tested all day long. In desperation, the temple had to be moved to another place.

    Li Xiangjun returned to Huajie, where she lived for many years.

    This time, Li Xiangjun was accompanied by a team of officials.

    "Sister, are you calling along the street?" Li Xiangjun asked.

    Li Wanchun smiled and said: "You don't have to keep shouting, you have to take turns shouting, otherwise your voice will be hoarse in just one day."

    Two-thirds of the 108 female generals in "The Record of Female Generals of Datong" are already married.  After getting married, most of them choose to take care of their husbands and raise their children, and those who are unable to have children adopt children, and very few even acquiesce in their husbands taking concubines.

    Li Wanchun is one of the few unmarried people, and she is almost thirty years old, because her vision is relatively high.

    If you can't get high, you can't get low, and it has been delayed until now.

    "Thenthen I will call." Li Xiangjun said.

    Li Wanchun smiled and said, "Call it."

    When the officials went to post notices along the street, Li Xiangjun picked up the tin trumpet and shouted: "Sisters and brothers in Qinhuai Flower Street, the world is one, the good and the low are equal. If you want to be good, don't be afraid of the madam to stop you. If you want to stop, you can report to the official immediately  "

    It was the morning at this time, and many brothels hadn't opened yet.

    When Li Xiangjun's voice came out, many windows opened in an instant, and then the door was opened again, and more than 20 men and women rushed out one after another.

    Not only prostitutes, but also Guigong teapots.

    A man stood by the side of the street, lit a green turban with a candle, took off his red waistband, and walked quickly to Li Xiangjun: "Sisters, I have come. I have heard that Zhao Tianwang has a good government, and I have been thinking about how to be good these days."  Woolen cloth."

    Li Wanchun smiled and said: "You can first go to the county government to settle down. If the household registration is settled, you are a good man. Even if you stay in the brothel, you are still a good man. There are no untouchables under Mr. Zhao's rule."

    "It's really good," the man said with a smile, "I don't know how to make a living after becoming a Confucianist. I can write and count, but I don't understand the Four Books and Five Classics."

    Li Wanchun said: "Since I can write and count, I will apply for the police officer exam, maybe I can be a police officer at the police station."

    There are government offices and county offices in Nanjing City. These officials have long been rotten. They belong to hooligans with official status, and many of them will be thrown to mine.

    Public security, fire protection, sanitation and other work are all in charge of the Wucheng Bingma Division.  But this institution is also rotten. In the bustling and prosperous city of Nanjing, many streets are dirty and messy, and the neighbors clean them up entirely.

    The first thing Zhao Han has to do is to free the slaves and eliminate the distinction between good and bad.  Then recruit local humble people as servants to improve public security and sanitation in the city.

    Li Xiangjun continued to promote along the street, and when he reached a certain place, Kou Baimen suddenly opened the door and ran out.

    "Can generations of prostitutes be good?" Kou Baimen asked anxiously.

    Li Xiangjun smiled and said: "Under Mr. Zhao's rule, there is no distinction between good and bad."

    Kou Baimen immediately turned around and shouted at the brothel: "Father, mother, come out quickly, and you can live a decent life from now on!"

    The mother is the real mother, and the father may be the real father.

    Kou Baimen was worse than Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun was born in a military officer's family, while Kou Baimen was a prostitute for generations.

    Her father is a musician, her mother is a prostitute, and her household registration is registered at the Jiaofang Division. The work in the brothel is an outsourcing business, and she also accepts door-to-door service orders from large customers.

    Kou Baimen is fifteen years old this year, and her job is to work as a maid for prostitutes. She should be listed for business in a year.

    Not long after, Kou Baimen's parents came out together.

    Li Wanru asked about the situation, and said: "You just need to go to the county government to settle down, and you will be a good man if you have a household registration. If you want to continue to operate, you can apply for a license for singing houses and dance pavilions"

    "No need!" Kou's father said quickly, "I can continue to be a musician to support the family, and my wife and daughter have to earn a living."

    "As you like." Li Wanru said.

    Nanjing'snbsp; Zhao Han was stunned upon hearing this, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

    That is the farmer's own field, and the self-cultivator is not a proper farmer. He voluntarily abandons the land and flees to other places to become refugees or vagrants.  It is conceivable that the taxes are heavy!

    ?Not only is the tax collected by the imperial court too heavy, but the big households will also spread cunningly, making these self-cultivating farmers have to pay taxes many times.  Moreover, the land they can get is not a good field, even if they only pay taxes, it is enough.

    What's more, the tax-free period set by the government can almost turn barren fields into mature fields.  At such times, there will be tyrants who come out to seize the fields, and after taking the fields, let these self-cultivating farmers continue to serve as servants, and the self-cultivating farmers will definitely run away.

    In addition, the wasteland refugees are foreigners and are often bullied by the locals, which is also one of the reasons why they ran away after planting a few days.

    Local officials continued to introduce new policies in an attempt to retain owner farmers and crack down on gentry tyrants.  But they are all effective at the beginning, and after a few years or more than ten years, loopholes are exploited.

    This broken place in the south of the Yangtze River is very strange. On the one hand, there are many people and little land, and on the other hand, a lot of land is abandoned.

    The big families are also very interesting, but in times of disaster, half of the land they planted is directly abandoned, and the remaining half is intensively cultivated.

    What is self-grown land?

    It means not renting to tenants, but letting hired labor to farm. This kind of hired labor is actually a domestic slave, who only pays a small salary for taking care of the food every month.  Sometimes also called "hired slaves".

    Abandon half of the land and cultivate half. This farming method has been written into the family precepts and family regulations by many wealthy families, and it is regarded as a classic operation like a family secret.

    Wu Yingji said: "There are still many barren fields in the south of the Yangtze River, which belong to salt bittern land. In fact, some salt bittern land has been gradually improved with the support of good officials. But if you change to a mediocre official, it will be abandoned immediately, because the mediocre official does not reduce the land tax."

    "The general town should collect land taxes as appropriate, build a large number of water conservancy projects, and encourage the people to reclaim wasteland and cultivate crops. In this way, there is actually not much shortage of land in the south of the Yangtze River."

    Zhao Han paid more and more attention to Wu Yingji, nodded and said: "You write down all your ideas, and I will hand over to officials at all levels to govern as appropriate. ?
