Chapter 1007 Pedantry or Corruption
Women are money?
Liang Gai was dumbfounded.
Huang Yao once again showed off his close relationship with Jia Pingan, and smiled casually, "Mr. Zhao, there are not so many widowers in Chang'an."
"Narrow!"
Jia Ping'an ordered: "The person in charge of the household registration went back to find Fangzheng in various workshops, and told them that His Majesty is kind, knowing that many widowers cannot find wives, so they searched for many women from the Japanese country. These Japanese women Gentle and capable, he is a good hand at home and abroad..."
"In the final analysis, if such a virtuous woman is not married, she will lose a lot of money."
Old father-in-law Wei Ying also came, and said after hearing the words: "But some people may look down on Japanese girls."
Jia Pingan took a look at the old father-in-law and coughed dryly, "My father-in-law, I have been in the army for three years, and I saw that the mother-in-law turned into a scorpion."
Those widowers have been hungry and thirsty for a long time, and now they hear that a woman from the Wa country is here, so what?
Once I hear that Japanese women are gentle and capable, I will go! What are you waiting for?
Xiao Jia, does this mean that the old man is full and the man does not know the hunger of the hungry man?
A group of full men went to arrange immediately.
"All the people around Chang'an spread the word to those village officials that there is something fast, but nothing is slow."
This is the benefit of the government going down to the grassroots level. Once Murakami speaks out there, things will be settled.
"Clang clang clang!"
In a certain village, the village is leading a few big men to shout.
"The widowers of our village! I remember five. Your Majesty remembers you! No, I brought Japanese women from thousands of miles away from the Japanese country. Those Japanese women are gentle and considerate. They can warm the quilt and sleep. They are better than hands... "
A group of women laughing on the sidelines.
The five men in the crowd were also laughing, their eyes glowing green.
"There are only so many Japanese girls coming. As mentioned above, if you get one soon, you don't have any soon. Are you going to marry a Japanese girl?"
Muramasa asked.
Five hands raised.
"want!"
"want!"
"want!"
"want!"
"want!"
…
"Uncle, there are too many people and not enough!"
The prince also went out of the city to check the situation curiously.
Jia Pingan sat by the city gate and said, "Why not enough? There are not enough outside."
"Where?"
"Overseas."
Huaxia people are hardworking, as long as there is a piece of land, they can take root, and then reproduce and turn that place into a paradise.
"Someone is here."
A group of people came up the official road, not only, but also behind.
"Where is the woman?"
A group of gentlemen came to **** the women, and after being scolded by the sergeant, they said dissatisfiedly: "Whoever said they came would get a Japanese girl."
"Where is Muramasa!"
The sergeant scolded: "Cunzheng has to bring it."
Cunzheng is getting old, and being held up, he panted and said, "This is the old man, this is the old man, hurry up, the widower of our village... pick first."
This professionalism is nothing to say.
The sergeant verified his identity, and then said: "There is no choice, just follow Zhao Guogong's instructions."
Mura was annoyed, "How about choosing an ugly one?"
The sergeant said: "Turn off the lights at night."
Cunzheng pondered, "That's the reason."
Women were called out one by one, and Master Jia also came.
"Follow them, and you will be their wives from now on... a dignified Datang woman, your children will become dignified Tang people, they will have the opportunity to study in schools, and if they fail, they can even become officials. Let you wait here Enjoy wealth and wealth at home.”
Those Japanese women are silent.
The prince in casual clothes said in a low voice: "Uncle, those widowers are either ugly or disabled, I'm afraid they don't like it!"
"What do you know about a little **** who hasn't started crowing!"
"The little rooster that didn't start crowing?" The prince didn't understand, and was going to go back and ask his wife.
Jia Pingan felt a dull pain in his **** for no reason.
A Japanese woman stepped forward, saluted, then raised her head and said in substandard Tang dialect: "I never dared to think about today, live well."
As she spoke, she knelt down, tears streaming down her face.
They were being taught Tang dialect along the way. At this moment, those Japanese women were crying, expressing their gratitude in Tang dialect.
"It is His Majesty's mercy."
Jia Pingan pointed to the city gate.
A Japanese woman was arranged, kowtowed at the city gate, and then left with her man. Later, the village officials and Fangzhengs would report them to re-arrange the naturalization.
one by one.
"Uncle, why are they so happy?"
"Because the Tang Dynasty is strong, everyone wants to be a citizen of the Tang Dynasty."
The prince was thoughtful, "That is to say, wherever they are strong and prosperous, they like to go there?"
"Yes, I told you that people are profit-seeking, so what should I do?"
Wang Qian is sweating profusely to explain things, and he will come here at this moment.
He froze as soon as he came over.
How does Zhao Guogong seem to be teaching his disciples?
Who is this boy?
The prince said: "People are profit-seeking, money and food are profit, and a stable environment is also profit. Then make Tang Dynasty the richest and most powerful place in the world, and it will always be like this."
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "That's it."
Zeng Xianglin said: "Your Highness, it's time to return to the palace."
Wang Qian only felt his heart beating faster, and tremblingly said: "I have seen Your Highness."
It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
He had heard about Jia Ping’an’s teaching the prince when he was in the Ministry of Industry, but he never thought that this scene would appear in front of his eyes.
The prince frowned and glanced at him, Jia Pingan said: "Don't be surprised."
Is it confidential?
Looking at the prince's casual clothes, Wang Qian suppressed his excitement, "Yes."
But the crown prince frowned, do you think I am inappropriate?
Inferior people often like to speculate on the attitude of superiors towards them, and feel uneasy about it, and even have trouble sleeping and eating, and can't sleep at night.
Jia Pingan said: "This man is called Wang Qian, and he works in the Ministry of Industry. This time he followed the expedition to the country of Wa. He worked diligently and was quite flexible along the way."
Zhao Guogong actually praised me! And still in front of the prince.
Wang Qian couldn't hide his excitement, but felt light all over.
The crown prince glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Uncle, there are so many widowers around Chang'an, I'm afraid they can't be separated."
The key is that there are hundreds of thousands of Japanese women coming in the future, and the scalp tingles just thinking about the prince.
"This batch will win word of mouth."
Jia Pingan said: "The widowers are finished, and then the resources."
"resource?"
The prince has learned new things and knows what resources are.
"There are a lot of widowers in the Tang Dynasty, and the Japanese women who will follow up will be distributed according to the Tao, especially in the south."
The south is still a semi-wild area at the moment, and the land of fish and rice familiar to many later generations is still in the state of primeval forest, where there are groups of beasts.
The prince returned to the palace, and the empress summoned him.
"How's it going outside?"
"Many widowers happily took the Japanese women there."
Li Zhi smiled, "Are those Japanese women willing?"
Prince said: "Those Japanese women were so grateful that they saluted at the gate of the city before leaving, saying they were thankful to Aye."
Li Zhi: "..."
Wu Mei was also a little puzzled, "Those widowers are...are they willing too?"
People who are full all day long will never understand the mentality of those who are hungry!
The prince asked curiously: "Aniang, what is a rooster that hasn't started crowing?"
The face of the empress turned black.
The queen said with a stern face: "The prince has less homework today, double it."
Prince: "..."
…
For two consecutive days, most of the Japanese women were missing.
"Everywhere has been counted, and there are more than ten thousand that cannot be distributed."
Since seeing Jia Pingan teaching the prince that day, Wang Qian has become more respectful to him.
Jia Pingan said: "The rest are resources."
What resource?
Wang Qian didn't dare to ask.
A group of people came out later.
Li Jingye took the lead, and I heard him bragging just a few minutes ago.
"The Japanese girl is a little shorter and looks more ordinary, but she can't stand being meek! Don't say wait, my concubine in my family dares to show me a cold face if she is unhappy. The Japanese girl is different, she is meek!"
"Really?"
Li Jingye nodded, "Yeah dumped hundreds of people in Japan, it can't be true anymore. The most important thing is..."
Li Jingye raised his eyebrows wretchedly, "These are Japanese girls!"
These dozens of people are all young, and their backgrounds are not simple at first glance by their clothes and demeanor.
is actually a dude!
A dandy moved, "Yes! What's the point of sleeping with a Tang Dynasty woman? If you want to sleep, you can sleep with a foreign woman. That's great."
"Are you afraid of being ugly? Blow on the lights at night, hehe!"
"how much for one?"
Li Jingye said: "Brother said that they are all from us, so he gave us a 10% discount. Originally, it was 200 yuan each, but now it only costs 180 yuan."
"What can one hundred and eighty dollars do? Why don't you buy a few Japanese women and go home to have fun."
"I bought it, I bought it."
A group of dandies turned around and waved, and came over with attendants carrying bundles, most of which were silk and satin.
"Someone wants five Japanese women."
Wang Qian, who was in charge of this matter, shivered, "How many?"
Dandy frowned, "Bad ears? Five!"
"give him!"
Wang Qian roared angrily, blinking his eyes.
Get rich!
Dozens of dandies took away more than a hundred Japanese women, and one of them said, "Let's wait for Yeye to go home and sleep, and come back and buy another bunch if he is proud."
say!
The thief is so rich!
Wang Qian was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Hurry up!"
Then things fermented.
There are Japanese girls selling them outside the city for two hundred dollars each.
Damn it!
What can two hundred dollars do?
Not enough for our men to pay for a meal.
Going to a brothel to sleep with a famous prostitute is more than that.
But two hundred dollars can buy a Japanese girl.
Heartbeat!
Action is worse than heartbeat.
Wang Qian even saw a white-haired old man being supported and shouted: "I want a delicate one!"
this…
The perpetrator was sitting right next to him.
"Leave a few for Yeye!"
The snatching has begun.
An old man came over and pointed at Jia Pingan, "Do you dare to do such a morally corrupt thing?"
Jia Pingan looked up at him, "Do you have a concubine?"
Well!
The old man was stunned.
Jia Ping'an said: "You are full of warmth and thinking about sex, but you can't see other people sleeping with a Japanese girl. What's the reason?"
"Yes...but this is a deal..."
"Is yours not a business?"
Jia Ping'an said: "If it's not for business, which woman would like you with white hair? Or are you talented? Or is that woman good at it! Shameless!"
The old man is defeated!
A group of people guarded the city gate, and when they saw him coming back, they asked, "Is it done?"
The old man shook his head, "He asked the old man if he had a concubine."
Everyone: "..."
"Then Zhao Guogong is sharp, he's gone!"
…
"Hebei is planning to develop water conservancy, but money and food are not in hand."
In fact, the daily discussions between the monarch and his ministers on political affairs are mostly related to money and food.
"That ten thousand taels of silver!"
Xu Jingzong glanced at the emperor.
"Stay still."
The emperor shook his head, "Silver from the Wa Kingdom comes every year. Last time Duke Zhao said to mint coins, I deeply agree."
Don’t you just want to make another fortune by minting coins?
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong is asking to see you."
Li Zhi smiled slightly, and the queen also smiled slightly.
They all thought of the prince's question.
The little rooster didn't start crowing?
Wang Zhongliang felt a little cold.
Jia Pingan came in later.
"Your Majesty, all the Japanese girls outside the city are finished."
This efficiency is good.
Li Zhi nodded, "So everyone is happy, but I just heard yesterday that there are still more than ten thousand Japanese women who cannot be allocated. Where are they?"
Jia Pingan said: "Someone took it away."
Li Zhi: "..."
Queen: "..."
Prime Minister: "..."
Li Yifu was angry, "This is human trafficking!"
"Two million dollars." Jia Pingan looked up.
emperor:"…"
Two million dollars!
What a lot of money!
Super Huge Money!
"To whom?"
The queen's eyebrows are more kind.
O kindness of the old mother!
Jia Pingan said: "I heard that there are more than ten thousand Japanese women who have nowhere to go outside the city. Many people in the city offered advice and suggestions. Some people worried that the money and food from the household department would not be able to support the food and clothing of the Japanese women, so they said to take a few home. But the white-collar women are sorry to go home. , I will give each person two hundred dollars, even if I can't stop you, if you don't want it, you won't succeed... They are all philanthropists!"
Can you still say that?
The monarchs and ministers present are all old fritters. If you say who is the most shameless in the Tang Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers here will do their part.
Poor thing, look at Xu Jingzong, that mouth never closed.
Old fox Li Ji blinked his eyes, Shangguanyi looked at Jia Pingan in astonishment...
Li Yifu said: "Is this charity?"
"yes!"
Ahem!
The emperor coughed a few times, "The water conservancy in Hebei..."
Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible."
Shangguanyi said: "Since there is no shortage of money, it can be done."
The Queen smiled slightly, "This is for the benefit of the country and the people."
Jia Ping'an was confused and asked Wang Zhongliang when he went out later.
Wang Zhongliang smiled calmly, "I was short of money earlier."
In the hall, Empress Wu suddenly spoke.
"It takes a lot of money to build water conservancy projects to benefit the country and the people. Now that we have the money, it's a bit strange how the money came."
She changed the subject, "The Japanese woman who was originally considered a big trouble, now has two million dollars back in the blink of an eye, and everyone is happy. Why do some people think it is a big trouble?"
Empress Wu paused for a while, let everyone think, and then said: "It's all because I didn't pay attention! I don't know how to be flexible."
Jia Pingan changed a bit, and the big trouble turned into two million dollars.
Empress Wu glanced at the emperor.
The emperor nodded slightly, "Mr. Zhao is quite alert."
…
The astute Zhao Guogong was clamoring outside the gate of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Let Duke Dou come out!"
Menzi said with a bitter face, "Mr. Zhao, go in."
Let's stop making trouble outside the door, shall we?
Shame!
"Tell him to come out, I can leave later."
Menzi hurried to report to Dou Dexuan.
"Go his way."
Lao Dou is very strong.
A casual remark moved his heart slightly.
"Zhao Guogong looks quite confident."
this…
Dou Dexuan got up, "Go and see."
He went all the way outside the gate, Jia Pingan was talking to Shen Qiu opposite.
"...Wa Kingdom is destroyed, don't think about putting those old and young around Tianzhi's side, that's stupid."
"Why?" Shen Qiu stretched out his hands to his temples, and pressed down the long hair that was blown by the autumn wind.
Jia Pingan saw Dou Dexuan, and raised his hand to ask him to wait a moment, "Don't make trouble for yourself, this is the foundation. When the Wa Kingdom is destroyed, it will be destroyed. The suggestion to arrange those old and young by Tianzhi's side is stupid. A group of idiots still regard Tianzhi as What emperor? Whose advice?"
"This is a secret." Shen Qiu had a stern face, and when Jia Pingan sneered, he said, "It's a certain official of the East Palace who said that he would treat Tianzhi kindly according to the old rules."
"Pedantry or Corruption?"
Shen Qiu: "..."
"That's probably corruption."
Jia Pingan said.
Shen Qiu lowered his voice, "That person just wanted to make a point."
Jia Ping'an disdains, "There are many ways to get ahead, but you want to be unconventional. Keeping such people is a disaster. If you don't move, I will."
Shen Qiu was a little annoyed, "If you move, everyone will know that we said it."
Jia Pingan smiled like a rascal, "Then let him get out of the East Palace."
Shen Qiu looked at him.
Jia Ping'an smiled.
After a long time, Shen Qiu nodded.
This matter will pass a level with the emperor.
Jia Pingan passed by, Dou Dexuan said angrily: "I have something to talk about, the old man is busy!"
"There are two million dollars out there."
Jia Pingan said calmly.
Dou Dexuan was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Jia Ping'an's chest, and said fiercely: "The household department is short of money. If there is no old man, go to Jia's house to eat, drink and have fun for half a year."
"I'll let Ah Fu accompany you."
Dou Dexuan changed color.
Jia Ping'an said: "Just outside the city, copper coins are piled up like a mountain, and silk and satin are blown everywhere by the autumn wind..."
"Prepare the horse!"
Dou Dexuan shouted, while looking into Jia Pingan's eyes.
"More than 10,000 Japanese women were sold for 200 yuan each..."
Damn it!
The old man went crazy.
The entourage rushed to lead his horse, and with a whoosh, Dou Dexuan completed the process of getting on the horse and accelerating.
"Drive!"
A sergeant shouted: "No horse racing in the imperial city!"
Dou Dexuan shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Speeding all the way out of the city, Dou Dexuan burst into tears when he saw the mountain of copper coins.
"It's rich! It's rich!"
This reaction gave many people an idea.
"Whatever you do in the future, don't be the secretary of the household department."
"I'm rich!"
Dou Dexuan is crazy.
After returning to the Ministry of Households, he kicked and beat the officials to carry the money.
"Zhao Guogong is a good man!"
Old Dou praised everyone that Jia was safe.
The spirit of the household department was lifted.
After leaving the Yamen, Dou Dexuan was in a good mood, and invited a few able-bodied men to go down for a drink.
After drinking for three rounds, someone called a prostitute to sing.
The female prostitute sighed after singing a few songs.
Dou Dexuan smiled and said, "Could it be that I'm worried that the old man won't give me money?"
His stinginess is only a state matter, and he is absolutely unambiguous when he should give money in his private life.
The prostitute lowered her eyes slightly, "Mr. Dou doesn't know, but the slave's business is not good now."
"Why?"
A servant said with a smile: "The autumn wind is refreshing. How can there be no singing and dancing on such a beautiful day? Why is the business so bad?"
The prostitute sighed, "Nowadays there are many Japanese women in Chang'an City, and many beautiful ones have entered the brothel. Although they can't sing and dance, they can get better business than slaves at that stop."
Dou Dexuan was taken aback, "Aren't those Japanese girls sold?"
The prostitute covered her mouth and smiled, "Mr. Dou doesn't know, many brothels are owned by those people. They bought many Japanese girls outside the city in the past two days, and all the beautiful ones were thrown in the brothels."
Dou Dexuan's face darkened, "Those Japanese girls wanted to find a husband, but they were sent to the brothel. Zhao Guogong is responsible for this matter."
The prostitute burst out laughing, and Dou Dexuan said coldly, "Is this old man ridiculous?"
The prostitute hurriedly blessed her body, "How dare I laugh at Mr. Dou, because those Japanese women are willing."
Dou Dexuan was surprised, "Impossible. How do they say Zhao Guogong?"
The prostitute said: "Wanjiasheng Buddha."
…
Good night!
