Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Patrol Team
Liangzhe Road has been known as the land of fish and rice since ancient times. It has a pleasant climate and fertile land. It has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Even after several natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people here still live much better than those in other roads.
Especially after the new emperor ascended the throne, farmers began to grow Champa rice. This rice variety has almost no disadvantages except that it tastes not particularly good.
Initially, it was planted in Liangzhe Road, where the climate was pleasant. After the results were found to be very good, it was tried and promoted in other roads.
With Champa rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes, Lin Si was able to perfectly solve the primary food problem during the more than one year since he ascended the throne.
The common people were grateful to Lin Si, but the middle-class and wealthy families had their grievances in their hearts.
The reason was not because of food, but because the official brothels had been banned one after another since Lin Si ascended the throne.
Moreover, the means were very harsh. Not only did they move the girls in the brothel out, they also blew the building to the ground.
At first, the wealthy families were dissatisfied and went to find the governor of Liangzhe Road. However, Lan Niang, the governor of Liangzhe Road, would not listen to their complaints and sent them back directly.
Nowadays, who among the Bai Zhi and county magistrates who have just graduated from middle school doesn't want to work hard and rise from the grassroots? How can they allow these people to disrupt their achievements?
The Baizhis looked at the wealthy group helplessly. "Are you all out of your minds? This is His Majesty's policy. Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with His Majesty?"
The wealthy people were terrified: "No, no, no."
The ban on brothels didn't affect the common people, as they simply didn't have the money to spend. It was precisely because the food crisis had been greatly alleviated in the year since Lin Si ascended the throne that the common people listened to Bai Zhi's propaganda and offered their full support.
The wealthy families were now the outcasts, and even if they felt dissatisfied, they had to suppress it.
As for the girls who came after the brothels were banned, they followed the original process of Xihe Road.
See a doctor to treat the disease, receive ideological education and transformation, and learn survival skills. If you want to change your name, then change your name and finally live in a different place.
Yun Xiyu was one of the first girls who were banned from brothels and underwent these transformations.
Now she is busy as a volunteer, traveling around to close down brothels.
Also serving as volunteers are female doctors such as Song Heyu, who are proficient in women's chronic diseases, and Shen Youer, who completed training in Anjing, also joined them.
If you ask her why she joined this team, it was probably because of the generous subsidies and because she sympathized with the plight of these girls.
She lost her husband during a natural disaster. If she hadn't had the ability to practice medicine, her life would have been very difficult.
Because she deeply understands what it means to be helpless.
County magistrates and prefects in various places all know that His Majesty and Prime Minister Liang attach great importance to the closure of brothels. Whichever province or prefecture does a good job may have two more factory plans approved.
Liang Nian sent a student who had just graduated from middle school to carry out this plan.
Because such things must be done by girls, and family and background factors must be considered, it is best to have sympathy and understanding for these girls.
Wen Yun just happened to meet all the requirements. She was the little girl who was rescued from Fengyue Tower that year.
At that time she was still called Ayun and didn't have her own name.
This name was also chosen later.
Wen Yun had originally been thinking about where to apply to get Baizhi, but ended up with such an assignment falling on her head.
Wen Yun knew that if she did it well, she could achieve greater results than serving as a county magistrate for several years.
Yun Xiyu and others joined this team because of Wen Yun.
After the document banning brothels was approved, all regions responded positively, but it was impossible to verify whether they responded well or seriously.
The team led by Wen Yun is responsible for solving this problem.
The all-female team will carefully check whether the various state governments have completed this matter seriously, and will patiently do ideological work for the girls.
Every time Wen Yun's team left a place, one or two girls would volunteer to join.
Therefore, this team has been growing stronger day by day. During the journey, some people were interested in Song Heyu's medical skills and shyly said that they also wanted to treat women like Song Heyu in the future.
Wen Yun supported her chin. They were about to arrive at Liangzhe Road, which was the last place.
There are more brothels on Liangzhe Road than on other roads. Since the brothels in Dachen are officially established, there are only two brothels on a road at most. But it is different on Liangzhe Road. There are four brothels here.
Although Lan Niang was the prefect, she had a lot of things to do this year. Although she banned the brothel, she settled the girls well and invited a female doctor to see them. She also continued the literacy class.
But she was somewhat unable to cope with psychological counseling and ideological work.
She is busy with people's livelihood affairs and is too busy to handle them all.
Wen Yun's arrival just solved Lan Niang's urgent problem.
Lan Niang was very meticulous in her work and placed these girls in a very secluded alley. These girls were generally young, not for any other reason, but simply because the girls in brothels did not live long.
Among them are little girls who are not yet grown up, about ten years old.
It’s about the same age as Wen Yun when she was rescued.
The girls in the alley were very alert. Every few days, it was girls who took turns to teach them. After taking classes for so long, they were familiar with each other.
Suddenly a group of strangers broke in, their eyes full of vigilance.
Facing such vigilant looks, Wen Yun and others were already accustomed to it, so they began to introduce themselves in a familiar manner.
The people who were originally lying in the mud suddenly heard that His Majesty had sent people to visit them and guide them. They seemed to have no other reaction except to stay where they were.
They thought that banning the brothels, allowing them to learn to read and start their lives anew was the limit, but they didn't expect that someone would be sent to look after them?
One of the girls in light blue clothes said timidly, "Did His Majesty really send someone to see us?"
Yun Xiyu smiled faintly. "Of course it's true, otherwise how would we have found this place? We all got permission from Magistrate Wen. We've already traveled all seven routes in Da'an, and this is the last one."
When talking about Wen Lanniang, a group of girls said that Wen Zhizhou was a very good person and treated them very well. They asked Wen Yun and others to say good things about Wen Zhizhou when they returned to report to His Majesty.
Song Heyu, Shen Youer and others were the first to start examining them.
Song Heyu is now considered an experienced gynecologist. Although a female doctor has seen her, she still has to check carefully before she feels at ease.
The girls in light blue clothes lined up, staring at the ground and sighing. "Why didn't Ah Xiu make it? I thought everyone would survive even if the brothel was gone."
The girl behind her patted her shoulder. "A Xiu finally died here. She was very satisfied."
Some of the rescued brothel women could not survive due to various diseases. This was due to the limitations of medical conditions.
After the physical examination, it is time for a heart-to-heart talk.
This segment was mainly led by Yun Xiyu, allowing everyone to express their inner pain, as well as their worries and fears about the future.
Because they were all prostitutes in the past, many of the pain and resentment that could not be expressed could only be vented at this moment.
Until the last day, Wen Yun wrote a line at the end of her notebook.
At this point, Daan's plan to ban brothels was successfully completed.
