One hundred and sixtieth section Fang Temple congratulations
Sister Han Qiao said: "Dad Fang, you are out of touch when you say that. Lefang Street is everyone's job. If you lose it, you will lose it. If you really do this, how can you continue to do this business?"
"Auntie is right. Originally, the price of this girl was getting more and more expensive. Nowadays, women are not allowed to be bribed. They are just fooling themselves. How can we do business?" The woman standing aside said in support.
The woman is in her early thirties, with a pretty and voluptuous appearance. She wears a water-red armor and a green skirt. Her nickname is "Mu Yun" and she is the "Liaokou Sister-in-law" of this hospital. Mu Yun was born in Laoju, Fengyue
A long-time veteran of the field was also a concubine of a certain Jin gentry family. She knew a lot about everyone's etiquette and manners, so she hired Sister Han Qiao to be the "liaokou sister-in-law" who taught Pipa Tsai.
The quality of the Liaokou sister-in-law is related to the quality of the future "money tree" of the institution, so she is also a very important figure in the institution.
A middle-aged woman in her forties immediately said with an apologetic smile: "Sister Mu is right! Originally, it only cost three taels of silver to buy a little girl. If you go to the charity hall to get one, you don't need a penny. Now it's terrible.
, a girl of 11 or 12 years old, with a more upright appearance, can't do the same, and she will ask for twenty or thirty taels just to open her mouth! It's really like robbery."
Naturally, Mu Yun knew about this situation. Ever since the Australians came to Guangzhou to set up charity halls, they would go to places where refugees gathered and give a few strings of money or buckets of rice. They could even choose girls at will as long as they promised to eat and survive. Gone are the good days.
Returned.
"If this goes on, even Pipa Tsai will be gone!" Mu Yun was a little worried. If Pipa Tsai was gone, she would really be devastated! This is what Mu Yun relies on for food, and she is really going to be ruined. For Xingyuan
She is a useless person, so-called ruthless. When the time comes, Sister Han Qiao will turn her back and refuse to recognize anyone else. She comes from a womanly family with no husband and no relatives. After all her savings are exhausted, she will either become a nun or return to her old career.
Given her age, this bowl of rice is not so easy to eat.
The woman who spoke up didn't know her worries, so she just kept echoing her. This woman's surname was Yao, and she was also from Laoju. She had poor appearance and vulgar qualifications. She had been a prostitute for more than 30 years in the lower class.
A brothel gangster, because he is good at flattery, he is willing to be the madam's lackey, and as he gets older, he becomes a "guest sister-in-law".
Guest sister-in-law said she was serving Lao Ju, but in fact she was serving as a supervisor. Mrs. Yao herself was a prostitute, and she had a good understanding of prostitutes' moods and thoughts, so she always hit the mark when it came to her discipline. She was called "one iron", which means nothing is difficult to do.
Every old prostitute who fell into her hands would be "ironed". She treated the old prostitutes very cruelly, and felt at ease when beating the prostitutes who "made mistakes", her face did not change, and she even counted while beating. As for the prostitutes who were bought and refused.
The girls from good families who obeyed the prostitutes were tortured in a variety of ways, with such powerful force that they could be called cruel and callous.
Sister Han Qiao couldn't believe in "bean powder water" and felt that it was more reliable to use women to control women, so she poached Sister Yao from a low-class brothel and became the head of the brothel's guest wives.
Old man Fang said slowly: "Ms. Han, in the Ming Dynasty, people were not allowed to buy good girls for prostitution."
Sister Han Qiao rolled her eyes and said: "Of course I know this. It's just that the government didn't like to meddle in people's business at that time, and no one was ignorant enough to use this theory! Even if someone is indifferent, we can still deal with it."
At that time, she had a big backstage, and she was familiar with the government officials and police officers. She was not afraid of doing anything harmful to the law. But the situation is very different now. The family does not dare to cause trouble now, and even specially sent someone to tell her, "Young Master
"Causing trouble." As for the familiar police officers, they were either arrested and their lives were unknown, or they defected to the Australians, and now they behave like apprentices in the shop.
The most important thing is that she saw that the Australians were resolute and resolute in their words. She said that when she cleaned up the hygiene of Lefang Street, she punished several old bustards on Lefang Street with their tortoise-clawed buttocks blooming.
There are also two to three hundred taels of silver.
Old man Fang saw her hesitant expression and knew what she was thinking, so he laughed a few times: "When a new official takes office, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of fire." He said with a slight sideways glance. Sister Han Qiao knew what she was thinking, and immediately took care of her.
Mu Yun and Mrs. Yao retreated.
Old man Fang said: "You are also a child of the Lehu family. This method is not considered as an adopted daughter, right? When she is older, you can ask her to sign a document stating that she has voluntarily become a prostitute."
Sister Han Qiao showed it off and said: "I wonder what a brilliant idea you have. This is not even a charming country charm. It would have worked in the past. But it doesn't work now: to buy a child, you need to be married. As long as you have this
A physical bond means buying a woman into prostitution, but without this physical bond, if she runs outside, why should I go and get her? Now it's no better than it used to be, and I can't afford to walk around when trouble breaks out."
Old man Fang smiled and said: "You are so smart in your life, but you were confused for a moment. Even if you bribed in the examination room, you didn't take the money to bribe the examiner. You just made an IOU. Now that you can't make a contract, it's not easy for her family to make an IOU.
?The money you are worth is considered a loan from you. You might as well write a higher interest rate to avoid the idea of redeeming her. Even if her family becomes prosperous in the future, won't you also earn the interest over the years? It would be even easier if she has no family members.
: Even if she makes a real contract with you for the rest of her life, you still won’t be able to repay it. Are you still afraid that she won’t write it?”
These words moved Sister Han Qiao, and she said: "This is a good idea!" But then I thought about it, this method seems clever, but in fact it only requires pretending to be deaf and dumb in official terms. Nowadays, the world is dominated by Australians, and the police are the most important.
He likes to meddle in other people's business, so if he encounters a few tough guys who start a fight, his rhetoric may not work. Old man Fang looks like a good old man who doesn't care about the world, but in fact he is a good person. He will never think of it.
.
Could it be that this old man had some back-up plan? She thought that Old Man Fang had no special relationship with her, so it was abnormal for him to be so enthusiastic about giving her advice. She then tried:
"This is a good method, but without official support, it won't end well if there is a real riot."
Old Man Fang took a sip of herbal tea and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Han. I'll give you this idea right now. Official matters will naturally have a sound plan. Let me ask you: What do you think of this idea?"
Sister Han Qiao secretly thinks that there is no other way now. If she really wants to act according to these "regulations", the money she will get will be much less, and the hearts of the girls in the courtyard will be unstable. I guarantee that many people will want to "behave". This is
She absolutely doesn't want to. Now let's agree and see what he says.
He nodded immediately and said: "This is a good method, but it's just that there will be costs for official matters. Just give me a number, and I have to weigh it to see if it's worth it."
Old Man Fang laughed softly and said: "Ms. Han is really happy. But I don't know how much it will cost. Don't worry, it won't exceed the previous norm."
It was no better than the previous norm, and the implication was that it was the same as the "fee" paid to the class leader and yamen worker in the past. This was not unbearable. However, she still felt uneasy. In the past, she was the class leader of class 3 in the yamen.
They were all acquainted with each other, but now what Old Man Fang was saying in the clouds, how could she know whether he was telling the truth? She suddenly became suspicious. Could it be that this old man lost money in gambling, or maybe he fell in love with a fan and couldn't make ends meet.
Taking advantage of the new Australian rules to defraud money?
Sister Han Qiao has been running a brothel for many years. She has seen all kinds of turbulent people and knows that people's hearts are sinister. Even old friends who have known each other for many years are not uncommon, let alone someone like Old Man Fang.
We had to be on guard against this, so he probed: "Dad Fang, what's the origin of your official support? Hey, if you beat me, I'll beat you."
Old man Fang didn't know what she meant, so he immediately said: "Aunt Han, don't worry. We have been villagers for many years, how can we trap you? It's just that the time has not come yet. When the time comes, we will naturally ask you to see the real chapter."
Sister Han Qiao was still dubious. She flicked her sleeves and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a real seal or not. I don't burn incense until I see the real Buddha."
Old man Fang nodded with a smile and said: "I know, I know, as a temple priest, my job is to burn incense. Now there is something that wants you to know the true Buddha. Is there a new girl in your backyard?"
Sister Han Qiao was startled and sneered: "Father Fang, it's not surprising that you know. How?"
"I think that boy Wang Dong got this girl. This boy is really brave. The Australians offered a reward for his father, but he still dares to wander around and abduct women!" Old Man Fang said.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? I don't care who got her." Sister Han Qiao looked indifferent, "This little girl looks good, but she is a little older, she is already eighteen. Now she is eighteen.
Because of the regulations, it’s hard to say whether I can eat this bowl of rice or not. I’m at a big loss.”
This is half true and half false: the woman tied up in the backyard is definitely a "beautiful product". If the Australians didn't suddenly come up with a "law" that strictly prohibits buying good girls for prostitution, it would be a windfall. However, Sister Han Qiao
He is not someone who is easily intimidated by the word "Wang Fa".
"You are buying a good girl for prostitution." Old Man Fang narrowed his eyes and smiled, "But as long as you follow the method I told you, I guarantee you will get the license in a few days."
According to the newly promulgated Guangzhou Customs Industry Management Regulations, new prostitutes must go to the Guanpian Police Station in person to declare that they voluntarily engage in the customs industry, and then receive a special "yellow ticket" license. Otherwise, they are engaged in illegal business, and the madam and the leader must be held accountable.
Naturally, the girl Wang Dong kidnapped could not "volunteer" to become a prostitute, otherwise she would not have been tied up.
Sister Han Qiao was doubtful. Seeing that Old Man Fang was so confident, she thought that this old man might have a purpose in defrauding her money. He might not have the courage to trick her into enmity. Let’s give it a try. She nodded and said: “Okay, I’ll do as you say!”
