Chapter 467 Existing in Name Only

"From now on, brothel girls are no longer prostitutes, and they enjoy the same rights as ordinary people."

"No one, no place may force women to sell themselves. Once violated, they will be executed without mercy."

It is not only for brothel girls.

Gan Fanren also abolished the slavery system and prohibited the killing of slaves at will.

"All slaves and prostitutes who have sold themselves can redeem themselves after paying money, but their household registration is civilian."

"For those who hire ordinary people to work, the monthly wages must not be less than two taels of silver."

Although there are only these simple laws, they are enough to change the status of many people.

Gan Tian raised her chubby little hands, held her father's face and kissed him hard, and then held her mother and kissed her hard.

[Wuwuwu, father and mother, you are great. 】

【Although these laws are not perfect, they can indeed change the fate of many people. It's really amazing. 】

After hearing these laws, Gan Tian seemed to see the prototype of modern society.

Everyone is equal.

No distinction between high and low.

Although these laws are not perfect, she believes that they will become more and more complete as time goes by.

【What should I do? I am really proud to have such a father and mother. 】

【It's just that last time, in order to catch a human tooth, many people protested. This time, they will probably make more trouble. 】

Especially those who have a few dirty money and order their slaves around.

There are not a few people like this. If these people unite, I'm afraid my father will not let it go.

Gan Tian's mouth was sweet, but there was no saliva in it. The kisses were sweet to the heart of the couple.

Hearing that their daughter was worried about them, the couple was even happier.

However, after hearing her daughter's voice, Hui Niang was still worried about her husband.

She looked up and asked, "If these laws are publicized, I'm afraid many people will protest. What will you do then?

Gan Fanren smiled and touched the heads of the mother and daughter.

"If it were normal times, I would have a headache if they made trouble."

"But now they have no control over it. "

Although it has rained in recent days, the grain production from spring plowing is not good, and the production from summer plowing will not be too high either. Now there are still more than two months away from autumn plowing. If we cut off their supplies, they will have no choice but to go hungry

." "They have been hungry for more than a year and have long been afraid of hunger. Once their supplies are cut off, they will certainly be afraid and beg for mercy, and then they will naturally be obedient."

Hui Niang's worries did not decrease because of Gan Fanren's explanation, but increased instead.

"But the method my husband mentioned is only suitable for those who have a little wealth. It may be of no use to the aristocratic families. "

Those aristocratic families are intertwined and powerful.

Some of them are even bigger than a village.

If we provoke them, they will certainly make trouble.

By then, I am afraid that it will cause unrest and rebellion.

" "What aristocratic families, they are just a group of people who curry favor with the powerful. When Dayun was attacked, didn't they retreat obediently?" "

These aristocratic families value their own interests more, so they are easier to deal with. We just need to let the local officials go and persuade them. As long as they are willing to let the servants in their mansion return to civilian status, they can be rewarded with a memorial archway."

"If they are unwilling, just confiscate their property. "

I don't even collect taxes. I just told them not to kill slaves easily. I didn't even force them to let the slaves go. I just changed their household registration. If they don't cooperate, it would be shameless. I would confiscate their property. It would be the most I can do."

These aristocratic families are actually very smart.

When Dayun and Dashun were fighting, they were afraid of standing on the wrong side, so they stood by and watched coldly, not daring to step forward.

Now Dashun has won the victory and occupied the capital.

It's just that I asked them to change these slaves into civilians. They will not refuse to cooperate and anger the new emperor at this time.

Gan Tian couldn't help but applaud after hearing this.

【Dad is right, this matter actually has little impact on the real noble families. These noble families are actually very proud and will certainly cooperate with Dad. The people who are most likely to cause riots are actually those uneducated, unsophisticated, wealthy but immoral people.】

Such foolish people who can't see clearly and act without reason will cause trouble sooner or later.

As expected, when these laws came out, they really caused an uproar.

Many people ran to the streets to make trouble.

When faced with such people, the officers directly arrested them, took people to their homes, and changed the household registration of those slaves one by one.

If they were willing to cooperate after some persuasion, they would not be held accountable. If they were unwilling, Those who did not make trouble were beaten, put in jail, and their property was confiscated.

For those who did not make trouble and took the initiative to change their household registration with their slaves, the government gave them a plaque.

This plaque was carved by craftsmen based on Gan Fanren's handwriting.

How noble is the plaque made by the emperor himself!

All they need to do is to change the household registration of their servants.

They are not required to release the slaves, and there is no other loss.

They can also get a gifted plaque and gain a good reputation.

Such a good thing, where can you find it?

The noble families brought their slaves to the government and actively responded to the law.

When the slaves learned that their civilian status had been changed, they couldn't help crying.

"Once a slave, he will be a slave for generations. I thought I could only be a slave for the rest of my life, but I never thought I could change my nationality one day."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although they looked down on Gan Fanren, the people still knelt on the street spontaneously to thank him.

Many slaves even wrote a letter to all people praising Gan Fanren.

Compared to changing slaves to civilians, it is much more difficult to change prostitutes to civilians.

When the brothel madams heard about this, they were very unwilling to cooperate.

If these brothel girls were all prostitutes, even if they were redeemed, they would still be prostitutes. Unless they followed some high-ranking officials, it would be difficult for them to become civilians.

Therefore, even if they were the most popular girls in the brothel, they would not leave the brothel easily with the money to redeem themselves. If

they were changed to civilians, then these women with money in their hands would just leave.

Then what is the point of running their brothels!

As for the idea that women must not be forced to sell their bodies, it is even more ridiculous.

Who comes to the brothel but comes to sleep with the girls?

It can't be just to watch the girls play the piano and dance!

You can't force them!

Are the girls still willing to sell their bodies!

This brothel is in name only.

Those brothel owners are trying every possible way to find people to deal with Gan Fanren's new laws.

But the current officials of Dashun are all carefully selected and promoted by Gan Fanren.

They are all good officials who are dedicated to serving the people. How could they be in cahoots with brothel owners!
