I want to ruin the country

Wenqing said,

"I agree with the emperor. These people talk about morality, but they are full of thieves and whores!

They are not worthy of being disciples of the saints, but it is right for the emperor to use an iron fist to govern the official and social atmosphere. Tolerance will only foster evil!"

Lin Zexu also said,

"Old minister seconded the proposal!"

Yining Road,

"Let's not discuss the disposition of the thirteen officials anymore. Let's move on to the banning of brothels!"

Ruijin said,

"Your Majesty, the Qin and Chu Pavilions are also important sources of tax revenue. Please reconsider!"

Yining Road,

"You are indeed the one in charge of money. You keep talking about taxes. I can only say that you are blinded by one thing and cannot see the big picture.

Haven’t you noticed what I just said about Hong Yujiao being almost deceived and tricked into losing her virginity?

The taxes they pay and the harm they cause to society are simply not worth mentioning!

The owners of these brothels will do anything to achieve their goals.

Just think about it, if Hong Yujiao hadn’t discovered him in time and escaped, what would be his fate now!

She was given a bone softening powder by the brothel owner, so her martial arts skills were useless!

When Hua Gu really attacks her, she will be helpless even if she cries out to heaven or earth!

Whether you are willing or not, you can only become a prostitute.

Lord Rui, please think about it with your conscience. If this happened to your own daughter, would you choose to pay taxes or smash the brothel to pieces?

Ruijin was dumbfounded, he had never thought about this problem!

The women in the brothel are like vegetables in the market. You can buy them home and eat as much as you want if you pay for them!

No one ever cares whether the vegetables are in pain or whether they are willing to be eaten!

If this really happened to his own daughter, would he still be standing here talking about money?

He suddenly felt a pain in his heart. If his daughter was bullied like this, he would definitely fight to the death with a kitchen knife and would not care about the law!

He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

"I understand, I know I'm wrong, I deserve to die!"

Yining waved his hand.

"Whenever something happens, you should think from the other person's perspective, put yourself in their shoes, and never talk without thinking!"

Ruijin Road,

"I regret, feel ashamed, and embarrassed. I support His Majesty in closing this evil pit!"

Yining Road,

"It's not outrageous that you can figure it out. If the family conditions allow, which biological parent would send their daughter to be a prostitute?

Let’s put ourselves in her shoes. If you were the woman who had to put on a brave face and engage in the sex trade just to survive, what would you think?

Are you hoping for a miracle to happen and for God to save you from suffering?

Women working in this industry not only suffer physical torture, but also suffer from unspeakable pain in their hearts!

Just imagine, if you were asked to make love with an old woman in her eighties or nineties, would you be able to accept it happily?

Ruijin suddenly let out a "wow" and almost vomited.

He quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve and said,

"Your Majesty, I have lost my composure!"

Yining Road,

"I don't blame you. You feel sick just thinking about it. You can imagine what those young women must be thinking when they're accompanying an old man!"

Ruijin Road,

"I'm glad to hear your lesson!"

Lin Zexu said,

"Once a woman enters this industry, her life is ruined. She loses all dignity and can't hold her head up in front of others!"

Man Hing Road,

"Even if they become good women, it's still a tragedy. Without offspring, they will die alone. If they do have children, they won't be able to face their children's accusations!"

Zhang Yingdao,

"Yes, they have to live their whole lives under the contempt of others. What a huge pressure they have to endure!"

Yining Road,

"As you all said, I mean to close all brothels and entertainment venues.

Whether you like it or not, I will issue an order to execute it. However, I still hope that everyone can support me!

Du Shoutian Road,

"Your Majesty, I understand that closing down brothels and casinos will only bring benefits and no harm. I agree!

However, there are tens of thousands of women working in this industry across the country. After the brothels are closed, where will these women go and how will they live?

Yining slapped the table and praised,

"Master Du, this is the most endearing aspect of you. You always plan ahead and think about their future lives! This is the wise advice of a prudent and patriotic leader!"

Lin Zexu also said,

"Prime Minister Du is absolutely right. If we cut off their livelihood, we must give them a way out!"

Yining said,

"Everyone can think about it and talk about how to let them survive."

Everyone lowered their heads in thought, but no one could think of a solution, because it was difficult for women from good families to survive, let alone these prostitutes?

Not to mention that they may not have any special skills, even if they have a skill that can make money, who would be willing to hire them?

Seeing everyone's sad faces, Yining laughed out loud.

"Hey everyone, there have been so many military and national affairs that have never made you like this, and you're already worried about a few women's matters!"

Lin Zexu said with a wry smile,

"Your Majesty, if they were men, we would have plenty of ways to keep them alive.

But these weak women, we really can't think of what to do with them!"

Yining stopped making things difficult for them and said,

"I feel that we cannot use common sense to reason with them.

After all, not everyone can accept their past. I have thought of some ways to accommodate them. Let's take a look!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Yining said,

"First of all, we must respect their own wishes, such as choosing to get married or live in seclusion.

No matter what choice they make, the court will unconditionally support them and will also provide them with a certain amount of severance pay!"

Ruijin Road,

"And you want money?"

Yining Road,

“I definitely have to give some!”

Ruijin asked,

"How much will it cost?"

Yining Road,

"At least one year's living expenses!"

Ruijin took a breath of cold air.

“That’s going to cost a lot of money!”

Yining Road,

"I think you are obsessed with money and can't get out!"

Ruijin muttered,

"I have no choice. How can I not feel bad for spending so much money for no reason?"

Yining ignored him and continued,

"If they have no choice and nowhere to go, I will divide them into two groups: literate and illiterate!"

Du Shoutian asked,

“What about those who can read, and what about those who can’t read?”

Yining Road,

"Those who can read can be divided into several groups. Those who have special skills, such as poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or playing musical instruments can be allowed to teach."

Zaiyuan Road,

"Let a prostitute teach?"

Yining said seriously,

"First of all, we must have a correct attitude and treat them as our own sisters. Otherwise, they will have trouble making it in society!"

"I understand!"
