People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 380 Let the brothel women appease the widowed settlers! !

To be honest, Xia Yuanji was quite surprised when he heard the old man tell the two problems he had discovered in one breath.

Of course, he was surprised and immediately thought of it. It turned out that this old man had actually established a military camp in Liaodong. No wonder he could see so many problems at a glance.

On the one hand, it is because in places like military camps, if the psychological needs of the soldiers are not properly addressed, it is likely to lead to tragic disasters.

The incident described by Chen Han was enough to alert everyone.

On the way back, Xia Yuanji was also thinking about how to guide these people in Lingnan Development.

After all, he is also a man, he also marries a wife and has children, and he also knows that if a person is depressed for a long time, he may do some illegal things.

Especially in this kind of wilderness, there are many villages around.

There are even many villages of Miao, Yue and other ethnic minorities nearby.

Once some soldiers or prisoners violate the common people around them because they cannot control themselves, it will lead to a very tragic case.

Furthermore, I thought of an incentive policy.

This not only solves the problem of these prisoners having no motivation and no guidance when cultivating this land is boring.

If you don't give these people satisfaction for a long time, and if they hold it back bad, not only will they not be able to work, but they will have serious accidents. It is better to prevent this kind of thing from happening before it happens, rather than lead to a tragedy.

At that time, the Duke told me that many prisoners were sent back from the Japanese slaves this time.

Tell them that if they work hard to cultivate land and complete their tasks, the government will match them with local women.

Guangdong has not yet been fully developed. If this happens, the Miao people will block the development of fertile land.

Mr. Wang looked at Xia Yuanji: "You're a bad guy, but you have to know that even if local women share the same wishes, some of them can't stand up to the authority of the government.

If there is a conflict between the couple, they will also make some plans for reconciliation.

They are fierce by nature, bold and independent, and at the same time they don’t care so much about staying the same.

Xia Yuanji took a sip of tea, "As you said, no one wants to marry those prisoners.

In the end, more than a dozen prisoners were killed, and several soldiers were killed.

If people work hard to cultivate and achieve certain conditions, and intend to stay in the local area, and their character is relatively good, and they have reformed, they can be matched with local women.

During the previous reclamation, someone from the Chief Secretary of Guangdong told him that this kind of thing often happened in the past few years.

Small families were formed by mutual consent, and this was used as a reward mechanism to stimulate the prisoners to change their ways and speed up reclamation.

I guess the old man has learned this from experience, so he is speaking very sincerely now.

So I have an immature idea. Since the women here are relatively open-minded and there are relatively few legislative restrictions, can I help them marry with these people?

When I was in the capital, Duke Qian told me that I must be careful about this. I also thought that this was indeed a problem that needed to be solved. "

"Listen, I will analyze it with you."

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanji himself was also thinking of countermeasures.

First of all, the women here are not like the women in the Central Plains, who have bound feet and are bound by the three cardinal principles and the five permanent principles.

The people we selected from these prisoners were first of all strong, and secondly, the crimes they committed were just sneaky or unintentional crimes.

Sir, what do you think? "

You have to know that in order to fulfill the pressure from above to pass the legal exam, the officials below will do whatever it takes, and you have to be aware of this.

Xia Yuanji thought for a while: "On my way back, I also thought of some countermeasures here, but they are not mature enough.
Originally, I was going to discuss with my colleagues how to solve it, but now you, the boss, have also mentioned this matter, so I will first tell you about the solution I thought of. "

This kind of thing is difficult to prevent.

Another one also allows local women to combine with men from the Central Plains to solve the problem of local women not being able to get married.

When the old man said this, Xia Yuanji nodded: "Sir, you are absolutely right, I talked to Duke Qian when I was in the capital.

I discovered a very interesting phenomenon by visiting people all over the country.
Since the information received in this area of ​​Guangdong is not as good as that of the Central Plains, the customs here are very different from those in the Central Plains.

You don't want to get to the end, these women have to marry those men.

Mr. Wang smiled and said: "Just tell me, the heroes have the same ideas, the Duke and I have the same thoughts.

This kind of thing caused riots among ordinary people in many Miao villages or other ethnic minority villages, and sometimes even directly led to the killing of local officials.

To say that they are all not human would be to overthrow too many people with one stroke.

I don’t quite believe that local officials would just look for women who have divorced their husbands to match up with prisoners, as you said.

"Then what do you decide to do? A girl from a good family will definitely not hang out with these people."

However, now some people are selected from prisoners all over the world and come to this place to cultivate fertile fields. These people are originally unruly and unruly, and now they have to do such heavy physical work. If they succeed, it may It will also lead to tragedy.

Some little girls will be stared at by someone while delivering food to their husbands or brothers, and then they will be violated.

Because once a tragedy occurs, it will spread like a plague, and it will be difficult to kill anyone. "

Because of the reclamation of wasteland, it is usually developed in cooperation with local ethnic minorities.

However, I have been serving as Chief Minister of Guangdong for almost more than a year.

Among the prisoners, there are some female prisoners who are hooking up with our craftsmen there.
In the end, the prisoners colluded with the soldiers on the ship, trying to hijack the ship and escape.

Once you have opened this hole, you must achieve this level of control.

On the contrary, in order to complete the incentive you mentioned, local women may be forced to marry prisoners.

If it happens like this, not only have you failed to solve the problem, but you have left a big scourge behind. "

Xia Yuanji thought about it and found that it was indeed the case, "So this is just a preliminary plan. So, old man, how did you solve this problem at that time?"

The old man suddenly blushed and took a sip of tea, "Actually, the method is very different from yours, but the method I used is even worse. I found prostitutes in brothels to sell them in batches.

The skin and meat transactions are settled according to local prices.

This really solves most of the problems.

When the soldiers carouse one day a month, they will be more motivated to go to the military camp.

Of course, most of the soldiers had families, and some of them directly brought their families to the military garrison and stationed them on the spot.

You can do it here, the prisoners are not all alone. The families of petty thieves and unintentional criminals can be brought here.

As for the rest, I'll send the prostitute over there, and I can even give you an opinion.

Some prostitutes want to be good, but no truly innocent man will marry them.

The prisoners are even some serious criminals. If they are willing to marry these good women for the rest of their lives, let me tell you, this is also a great kindness.

This is also the method I use. You can promote it as much as you can.

At that time, I used this trick, which not only solved the dependence problem of many local brothel girls, but also made the local military officers and soldiers praise each other for the extremely high efficiency of the army.

I was rewarded by the court for this.

It even once reduced the number of women in local brothels.

The number of women in brothels has decreased, thus reducing the number of women being abducted and trafficked. This is all a trick.

This is a great merit. "

Master Wang provided such a method, and Xia Yuanji felt that it was reasonable.

As Mr. Wang said, it is a very troublesome thing for a girl to get married.

This industry is all about youth, and it is inevitable that people will be disliked when their appearance fades with age.

And they are still fertile. After the prisoner himself committed the crime, he never thought that he could marry a woman with an innocent family background.

If the heavens and the earth are combined together, then it is perfect.

Xia Yuanji came down next, and then the old man said: "The second more serious problem is the military settlement.

The reason why the military settlements were able to be implemented back then was first of all because after the settlement, the area belonged to the local guard station and did not need to pay taxes.

Of course, when it comes to salary issues, military pay also comes from this land. "

Xia Yuanji also thought about whether the issue of Jiangjun Village could be combined with the issue of Lingnan development.
The answer Chen Han gave at that time was no.

The military settlements were different from the current prisoners’ development of Lingnan.

Military camps can be used. Once a legion passes, it is equivalent to a construction corps. No matter how much fertile land is reclaimed, it can be counted as one's own within the construction corps.

This would instead cause the court to reduce military pay and reduce the pressure on the court.

Of course, the biggest problem is that later on, since there are no wars to fight and there is no fertile land to cultivate, the military villages will become enslaved by the officers to the soldiers below.

Many times, military camps end up becoming the private property of certain officers, and the officers and soldiers become their slaves. This issue must be paid attention to.

The most important thing is that Chen Han doesn't have much affection for these prisoners.

After the prisoners broke the law, they went there to cultivate land as a process of atonement.

Why does the developed land belong to them?
If there is such a good thing, why don't I let the people in the north and northwest areas also go to cultivate it.

They will have greater motivation.

Those who are innocent, those who are not guilty, should develop more and more of them as their own.

So when the old man proposed this, Xia Yuanji also rejected it.

After listening to Xia Yuanji and Chen Han's words, the old man nodded, "It's my fault, but there is something wrong with your method. After looking at it, I found that not all prisoners can cultivate fertile land. .

Many times my husband takes a quick look and discovers that there is something wrong with the fields you have cultivated. If you want to plant in the future, within five or six years, there will be no grass growing in that place.

As for how to quickly and quickly reclaim this area so that food can be grown next year, I have an idea.

It just so happens that I have always kept this booklet with me. It was written by me personally and is based on my insights when I was stationed in the Liaodong Army. This time, I will give it to you. "

The old man took out a pamphlet written by himself from his arms, which contained answers to several questions about how to improve production efficiency in the Liaodong military camp.

These are their experiences and they are of course very useful.

Xia Yuanji took it and treated it like a treasure: "Sir, you came at a very good time.
We have been thinking about how to solve this problem. With your guidance, the development of fertile land in Lingnan will surely rise to a new level. "

Xia Yuanji did not expect that as soon as he returned to Guangdong, he would meet an old man who offered good advice.

After he got the scripture from the old man, he chatted with Mr. Wang for a while, and then Mr. Wang set off for Guangxi.

After returning to his mansion, Xia Yuanji just rested for a while and then went to complete another task assigned to him by Chen Han without stopping.

That is to protect the family of the businessman who reported the news.

Xia Yuanji was still very curious as to why this businessman was connected to the distant country of Srivijaya in Southeast Asia.

I don't understand what kind of shameful things happened in this country that would involve Chen Han and his group who had just started reform at that time.

After so many years, he had slowly forgotten the sad past.

He even forced himself to forget everything, just to be able to carry out reforms properly.

What I didn't expect was that this matter that had faded out of my life would come out again.

It was also a scar of his own.

He took the people, disguised as ordinary people, and walked around the alleys of Guangzhou Prefecture, and finally came to a private house.

This private house is no different from other houses. It is eerily quiet and seems to have a completely different style from all the houses nearby.

Seeing the signs that this house gave off that no one had been here for a long time, Xia Yuanji's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately ordered the officials to go in and take a look.

Not long after Xia Yuanji and the others entered, they rummaged around for a while and confirmed that no one had been in this place for at least seven or eight days, and there was a thick layer of dust on the tables.

But it was obvious that these people must have been in a hurry when they left.

Because from the sight of the moldy vegetables in the kitchen, we knew that these people were cooking at the time and left in a hurry without even eating.

Xia Yuanji suddenly felt bad.

Although the businessman found Chen Han and decided to tell Chen Han the secrets he knew, the only condition was to ensure that his family was safe.

Chen Han entrusted this important task to himself. As soon as he returned to Guangdong, he rushed over without stopping, only to find that the building was empty. How should he handle the task?

While they were anxious, footsteps came from outside the yard...
