Although the emperor has tried his best to dispatch money and food from the surrounding areas and the capital to the disaster-stricken areas in Shandong and Jiangnan, the price of rice is still rising rapidly. In addition, the people are already hungry and frightened, and they keep looting food, so that the price of food rises seven times a day Still in short supply.

In ancient times, or even now, there are a large number of families who are extremely patriarchal. They think that girls will be other family members when they grow up. Therefore, in the face of disasters, selling their daughters in exchange for food is the best choice.

When Situ Ce and Jia She came to a nearby town, they saw a few sitting in front of tables and chairs with pre-written contracts of sale and writing brushes, and there was a long queue in front of each table.

There are men and women in these queues, the only thing they have in common is that they are all pulling a crying girl, big or small.

Behind the bookkeeper is tied up in a string like livestock, the numb girls who have already traded, and occasionally a young girl crying, will be scolded and whipped by the people on the side, the pain and fear made many The children were all incontinent, and there was a smoky smell in the air.

Faced with such a situation, the parents who came to sell their daughters turned a blind eye and just grabbed the girl in their hands tightly to prevent the girl from escaping.

Then, they heard a man say to the person closest to Jia She, "Grandma, look at my girl, she has fair skin and looks pretty, so please give me more money."

Ren Yazi said impatiently: "Three hundred yuan, do you want it or not, and if you don't want it, hurry up and make room for the people behind."

The man said with a bitter face: "Now the price of rice has reached [-] yuan, and this [-] yuan can buy a small amount. I have raised her for so many years, and I can eat this meat for several days." , just give me more if you can."

Ren Yazi spat on the ground and said: "Then you take it back and stew it yourself, what are you talking about with my old lady here?" When he was about to ask someone to drive this man away, Ren Yazi suddenly glanced at the man. In the man's hand is a skinny girl with withered hair.

The man is also a spirited man. Seeing that there is a door, he quickly pushed the girl in his hand to the matchmaker and said: "You see, although she has lost some weight, she is very energetic and capable. She can do it when she is five or six years old." Push the mill and pull two pots of beans by yourself."

The matchmaker ignored the man, she reached out and pinched the girl's waist, armpit and chest twice, making the girl blushed and trying to dodge, then let go, and she was not in a hurry to speak, and lit a cigarette for herself Baji Baji began to smoke.

After a while, the human tooth poured out the ashes, and spit yellow phlegm on the ground, and then said: "You girl has a low bone, let the old woman think about it, and you can make a living, but you have to sign it to die." Qi, it has nothing to do with you if she relies on you in the future, the old lady will give you three taels of silver."

"You don't have to work hard, she has a whole body of lewd skin and low bones, but it's not my old lady who is talking big, there is no such thing as a guy brought back from the capital by my old lady, even if you send her to the romantic garden, no one can do it." Got it."

"It's rare for my old lady to be interested today. If you agree, you can sign the contract and get out with the money. If you don't agree, you can lead the girl wherever you want to go. However, if there is no such shop after this village, you can figure it out yourself. "

Although these are all deeds of prostitution, deeds of prostitution and deeds of prostitution are still different. A normal deed of prostitution is usually to be sold to a wealthy family as a girl.

If one day someone commits a crime and is beaten to death by the master's family, although the master's family does not have to pay for his life, he will still give a few taels of money to burn and bury the body and notify the family to collect the body.

As for whether the money was really used for the burial or secreted by yourself, then it is out of people's control. If the deceased has grievances, he is looking for someone who is greedy for her burial money. The host is just trying to comfort her.

But it's different for those who signed the death contract alone. Eight out of ten of these children will be transferred and taught to be thin and horsey in Yangzhou, or at least to be a generation of famous prostitutes.

Whether it can be done or not depends on the means and whether the child can survive, but most of them die from those drugs, or die from the torture. In short, it is a venture capital investment.

However, as long as one is transferred and taught, whether it is a famous prostitute or can win the favor of nobles, and bring it back to the mansion, it will be a big profit. Earning one hundred and eighty thousand taels is just like playing.

Therefore, whether it is for fear of getting into trouble after death, or to avoid being glued after a shot, such a child must sign a death contract separately, stating that life, death, wealth and honor have nothing to do with their parents.

After the matchmaker finished speaking, she no longer cared about that man, and started accepting another one, because with the precedent of this man, there will be bold people who recommend their daughters, and want the matchmaker to give her palm eyes, so that she can exchange two more money.

The old lady Huang said disdainfully: "Stop dreaming, thinking about cats and dogs can attract the old lady's attention. If the old lady didn't suddenly have itchy hands today, she would have quit this business a long time ago."

"Anyone who thinks their girl is so interesting, just don't line up here. The opera garden and the flower house buy people, but they can give a good price if they are selected."

As soon as the people behind heard it, they stopped making trouble. It wasn't that they were still thinking about family affection, and they didn't want to sell their daughter to a dirty place or let her go with the opera garden. acquaintance.

Rather, either they knew that their daughters were really not worthy of the stage, or they had just arrived there and were directly brushed off. They didn't like the looks of these girls at all.

Those who have been in the flesh and blood business all year round, they have the ability to judge people with their own hands. If they look at the bones with their eyes, they can roughly predict what this person will look like in the future.

In the end, these people had no choice but to curse bad luck, or beat and scold their daughters, blaming them for not being up to date, and then took their household registration documents, nodded and bowed down, and chatted with Ren Yazi, hoping to give three or five more money.

If you don’t give it to them, you can’t do anything about it, just treat it as a loss-making product, sign and pledge, hand it over with one hand, and get the money with the other hand, turn around and walk to the rice shop without hesitation, as for crying and being beaten and scolded, like an animal Girls who are generally driven away, who cares?

The man before, still gritted his teeth, signed a death contract with Ren Yazi alone, and left with three taels of silver. He has to hurry up, what if the grain market raises the price again later?

After walking around with Situ Ce, Jia Amnesty understood why Mrs. Huang had the most people here, because as long as she was not disabled and people were not stupid, she usually paid a high price of [-] yuan, while in other places, they would pay a high price of three hundred yuan. According to the size and so on.

Situ Ce looked at these people who sold their sons and daughters, and sighed deeply: "When will the world be truly peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment? It will never be like this again. Whenever there is a disaster, you can sell your sons and daughters to survive."

Jia She frowned and said, "I think these people are inherently bad. It's just that the disaster revealed their viciousness and inferiority. It's not entirely caused by the disaster."

Situ Ce was taken aback, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Enhou is a man of great wisdom. These people are indeed evil by nature. After all, there are so many of them. No matter how hard it is, you have to grit your teeth and persevere, and work hard to earn a living. live."

"It's just that there are so many uneducable people in the hometown of the sage of Confucius. Isn't it even more so in other places? Who can really educate them?"

"Gu Suu never believed in gods and Buddhas. He thought that gods and Buddhas were nothing more than statues placed in Buddhist halls. Now I really hope that a Buddha will really come to the world and teach the world."

Jia She raised his eyebrows and glanced at Situ Ce. The only monk he knew who could be regarded as a monk was Bodhidharma. That guy probably only knows how to use physical supernatural powers. His Royal Highness probably wouldn't want such a result.

Seeing Jia Amnesty's expression, Situ Ce guessed that he had absolutely no good intentions, so he asked, "Enhou has a solution? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Naturally, Jia Amnesty couldn't say what he thought, and combined with the memory of the original owner, he already knew that the canyon he was in was a chaotic world where people from various dynasties were mixed together.

For example, he himself was born as a princess of the state of Chu. Later, relying on the most powerful weapon of beauty, he became the victor of the long years. He not only survived the strife in the harem, but even became the prototype of the Queen Mother Xuan of the Qin State.

And Bodhidharma is a Zen monk in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is a long time ago. Of course, he can't say that he knows Bodhidharma. The most important thing is that although Bodhidharma here is good at boxing, he will definitely not be a jungler who likes physical supernatural powers.

Jia She rolled his eyes, then pulled the prince closer and said, "Your Highness, I heard from my uncle that there is a group of people in the imperial court who are paid and not doing business, and they know that those who are full and looking for faults are called censors." people?"

Before Situ Ce could savor the fragrance brought by the beauty's approach, the corners of Jia She's words made the corners of his mouth twitch. This kid really dares to say anything.

The censor's duties are: to correct and impeach all officials, to discern injustice, to admirals, and to serve as the emperor's eyes, eyes and discipline.But in order to listen to Jia Amnesty's words, Future Hunjun still nodded his head and said yes.

Maybe Jia Amnesty was tired from walking, or came to have a chat, so he simply took Situ Ce and their horses to a sheltered place to rest.

Then he took off his water bag and drank some water with Situ Ce before he started to say: "Look, the people from Yushitai don't have any serious business every day, so they just know how to make trouble."

"In addition, there are the nerds of the Hanlin Academy, who know how to read books all day long. They have nothing to do with business. They are all like my second elder brother Jing. They are all idle, and they are thinking about becoming immortals. It's just him ?Pooh!"

Situ Ce suspected that Jia Jing might have offended this little ancestor, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe Jia She's sweat, and then said lightly: "Speak well, don't keep using dirty words, especially don't imitate what you just said. The toothmaid's action."

The prince was taught good manners since he was a child, and every word and deed is a gentleman's style. He is not used to the words and deeds of swearing at every turn, especially Jia She, who has a beautiful appearance, feels especially awkward when he swears.

It's like a child who deliberately learns the feeling when someone swears, so that he can unconsciously remind him.

Well, we have to start from the time when Jia She was Miyue. The reason why she had spiritual intelligence at the beginning was because the master who used her used her mouth to curse people every day, and then all the people blocked by the system were stars.

He was just curious, this: Your whole family is *, stupid*, *your*, dog***... What does it mean?Then he began to study this, and slowly, he found that he had the wisdom that other heroes did not have. When she was not called to fight, she could control her own body.

Although he still didn't understand many words, he felt that the language that allowed him to have a mind was miraculous, so he often said these words.

Jia She smirked twice, and continued to slander: "Anyway, the people in these two departments are full and have nothing to do, or they will be combined and sent to various places, one is responsible for teaching knowledge, and the other Responsible for criticizing education and guiding behavior."

"After people understand the truth, they will know what to do and what not to do. The people's morals will also improve, and the law and order will naturally improve. What do you think?"

Situ Ce glanced at Jia Amnesty, he said, what did he say?Such a bad idea, except for him, Jia Amnesty, probably no one would come up with it.

However, Situ Ce touched his nose, he felt that this is actually a solution, but more people can go to implement it, such as those who are still waiting for candidates to be sent to various places to teach the people.

It is not necessary that they all learn something, at least they can know etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, and at least they can no longer be ignorant. This may not be a means to stabilize the country.

Looking at Jia Amnesty who was eagerly waiting for his answer, Situ Ce smiled gently and said, "Enhou's idea is very good. Saints are all bent on educating the common people. Since they are all students who are familiar with the books of sages, they should naturally Fulfill the great wish for the saint."

"It's just that the expenses of educating the common people cannot be solved overnight, and the Ministry of Household Affairs may not be able to allocate these funds." Whether it is to educate the common people or not, people still need to eat.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, this truth is very clear to Situ Ce, people who study hard for ten years, and once they are named on the gold list, it is not for the purpose of becoming a poor teacher.

Forgive Jia, if you ask him to think about important family and country affairs, he is not capable of doing so, but there are quite a few bad ideas to come up with.

The reason why Situ Ce asked this question was also because he felt that maybe this guy could still say something useful inadvertently like before, saying that he beat the old master to death with random punches. The first knowledge that the old master Zhang taught him was, Don't look down on anyone.

Jia Amnesty did not disappoint him, but his idea was even worse: "Your Highness, look, is the business these bastards are making huge profits?"

Situ Ce said: "The government itself takes in those who are forced to sell themselves by their means of livelihood, but because the life and death of these people are protected, and they can redeem themselves after saving enough money to redeem themselves, so it is impossible to generate huge profits. Dental matter?"

Jia She gave him a blank look and said, "Who asked you to do this business? I mean, since their business is profiteering, they should charge more taxes. For places like brothels, the taxes will be even heavier. , there will not be so many benefits at that time, so naturally there will not be so many people doing this business, and then we will get the initial money."

Why do these words sound so awkward, Situ Ce nodded in good temper and said, "What Enhou said is that this will prevent such things from happening from the source."

"When these people face this business, they only feel tasteless and tasteless, so they simply don't bother to make a deal. No one is willing to do this business, and those who are sold will not face such a life-threatening situation at any time. situation."

"But Ren Yazi or the bustards don't do these things anymore, the tax money can't be collected, and the previous actions are just short-lived."

Jia She shook his head and said, "After we have money to build a free school, those adults have already been shaped, so don't worry about it. We are teaching immature children."

"This stipulates that if any underage child does not study, he will be paid a poll tax as an adult. If he comes to school to study, the poll tax will not change, and he can have a full meal at noon. If there is any concealment, the land will be confiscated. , increase labor."

"Children's taxes have always been dispensable to the Ministry of Household Affairs. In order to reduce taxes, farmers even conceal and do not report them. They will not register until they are adults, so this part of taxes wants to be demanded from the emperor. It's not hard to come."

"And these taxes are more than enough to educate these children. After these children finish three hundred thousand, it is no longer a matter for the court to worry about continuing to study. , have a full stomach."

Situ Ce looked at Jia She in surprise and said, "Enhou is a great talent! Gu really didn't expect Enhou to be so bold and thoughtful of the common people."

Old Jia She blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't think about these, it was when my father was in Jinling, brother Hu felt sorry for those children who had no food to eat, and my father said, if all these hidden taxes are taken Come out, it is enough for these children to eat and drink enough to go to school."

"Then Brother Hu asked some more questions. When my father said it, I listened to it by the way, and I will use it now."

Situ Ce knew it well, he naturally knew Jia Daishan's talent, he was a truly wise person, but Jia She's honest appearance unexpectedly made him feel cute, Situ Ce said with a sneer, "Why is Enhou like this?" Make people like it?"

At this time, the side door connected to the wall they were leaning against was opened, Liu Yi said: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that this is your property, you can bring Enhou in and chat slowly."

Jia Amnesty did not expect that this was Situ Ce's property, but according to his intuition and system, it was safe here, so he took Situ Ce to hide here to avoid the sun.

Situ Ce didn't explain that he was also acting out of bad humor for a while, so he squatted here with Jia She, just smiled and took Jia She's hand and walked into the door.

Liu Yi secretly rolled his eyes, and resigned himself to his fate, walked over and led the two horses in. Whoever said that one is his master and the other is his superior, it is likely to be his boss' wife in the future.

Jia She looked at this place. From the outside, it looked like the yard of an ordinary countryman named Wailang. It wasn't that big, but inside it was full of caves. It seemed that this street was opened up, but there were no ordinary people's rockery and lotus ponds. Decoration is like a room.

After a few glances, Jia Amnesty lost interest, and turned to ask Liu Yi behind him, "Brother Liu, are you here? Is Brother Wei here too?"

Liu Yi said with a smirk: "Brother Wei went to sort out the account books. He is good at math, and he can figure out how much tax money to pay. I'm not good at math, so why don't I come here and open the door for you?"

Just when Jia Amnesty was about to ask what kind of tax was paid, a slightly familiar voice came from a woman: "Little Six, go and send this girl to a room alone, wash it up, and wait for me to go over and take a good look at it."

Jia Amnesty turned around and found that the person speaking was the old lady Huang whom he had seen earlier, and the little six sons were the ones who accompanied the old lady to pay for the money.

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Situ Ce and Liu Yi coming from the side door, and hurried over to salute, "This old slave pays homage to master, I have seen Young Master Liu, and I have seen this young master."

When she came to Jia She's place, she didn't know what to call her, but seeing Jia She's outfit, she also knew that this man must be from a wealthy family, so she didn't dare to neglect him.

Situ Ce nodded and said, "Well, Madam Huang, this is the son of the Rongguo Mansion. You can call him Young Master Jia from now on. If he has any requests, he will try his best to fulfill them and not be perfunctory."

Huang Yapo glanced at Jia She's face, then at Liu Yi's attitude, and made a guess in her heart, and became extremely respectful towards Jia She.

Seeing Mrs. Huang, Jia Amnesty didn't know what Liu Yi meant just now, and immediately felt a little hot and uncomfortable.

Liu Yi didn't have any malice towards Jia She, and it was just a joke before. After all, those who don't know are innocent, and Jia She was just talking about the facts, and he didn't know that Huang Nanny was one of his own.

He was mainly worried that his master seemed to have the essence of King Zhou You's faint king, was he planning to spend a lot of money just to laugh for Bomei?

Situ Ce doesn't care what they think. As for whether it will cause him heavy losses if it is implemented, the answer is naturally no.

Not to mention that the people he bought are used for training and then sent to various families to collect information, not just for the purpose of reselling them to make a fortune.

To put it simply, it's not just the business of dental shops and brothels that collect taxes, is it?Salt merchants, coal mine owners and other profiteering industries, and overseas imported products like Wangxian Bo's are even fatter. If you want to scrape oil, that's the big head.

Situ Ce, who was confident in his mind, put his arms around Jia She's shoulders and said: "This Huang Nai is the mother's nanny. Her original surname is Gu. Later, in order to protect the mother, she had to feign death and escape. Take care of the industry here."

He didn't say what these properties are for, and Jia Amnesty didn't ask, just like what Jia Daishan told him, don't know if you shouldn't know, don't ask if you shouldn't, this time with the prince, your duty is to protect the prince Your Highness.

At this time Wei Feng also came over, and after saluting the crown prince, he smiled and said to Jia She: "Enhou, wash up with Your Highness, my brother has ordered someone to cook the snake soup, and I am waiting for you to taste it." , but satisfied."

When Jia Amnesty heard this, he immediately threw away Situ Ce and ran towards Wei Feng. He hadn't eaten snake soup yet. After all, it was the time of filial piety. Who would blatantly make this for him.

Situ Ce rubbed the remaining temperature in his hand, glanced at Wei Feng with some dissatisfaction, then turned his head to look at Liu Yi, secretly thinking about where they should be assigned?
