Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

When shopkeeper Liu heard this, her eyes went dark for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, what's the matter with helping people redeem their bodies? You don't allow redemption here?" Li Ke looked at her with a smile and asked.

Redemption?Hearing this word, most of the women's eyes dimmed a little. Even if they are redeeming themselves, they who are relatively ordinary and older will definitely not be able to get into the eyes of His Highness the King of Shu, and they will have no chance with them.

On the stage, Yang Anning's eyes lit up, and they looked at Li Ke expectantly.

"Well, of course, who does His Highness want to redeem for?" Shopkeeper Liu said bravely.

"All." Li Ke pointed to all the girls around, and said lightly.

"Ah?!" Shopkeeper Liu was dumbfounded, and so were the girls around him.

A girl below couldn't help but said loudly: "Your Highness, you redeemed us all, do you have enough?"

"Puff...cough...cough..." Li Ke almost choked on his own saliva. This was what an elder sister said. Li Ke followed the voice and looked over, and a woman in her 30s boldly looked over.

Well, it's all right.A woman in her 30s in this era is equivalent to a 50-year-old aunt in later generations, which is called a vigorous.

"What are you talking about? I redeemed you to give you a better life." Li Ke's face turned dark. Is His Highness such a wretched person?

"Yes, Your Highness, we can use what we can." Seeing Li Ke, the woman did not blame Li Ke, and immediately became bold.

"Okay, okay, you really don't understand His Highness's good intentions at all. After His Highness redeems you, I will find an opportunity to promote you from humble status to good people. And I will provide you with a job, you You can freely find someone you like to marry him." Li Ke said lightly.

Li Ke's words stunned all the girls, including the woman in her 30s, who was already considered an older woman in Huiyue Building. After all, many women in her 30s outside became grandmas.

Good people?Isn't this what they dream of?After Li Ke came, he realized that the household registration of Datang is not like what some marketing accounts of later generations said, divided into five grades: expensive, good, merchant, slave, and cheap. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

There are only two kinds of household registrations in Datang, good people and humble people.In fact, the officials of the Tang Dynasty did not call them good people and untouchables, but "registered households" and "non-registered households".

Registered households mean those who are qualified to be independent households and become a family. These are all good citizens, while non-registered households rely on registered households and the main family, that is, untouchables.Including workers who work for the government, Lehu, miscellaneous households, private parts of powerful families, handymen, slaves, women like brothels are exactly two types of Lehu and slaves.

Such as nobles and gentry, or to be precise, the four major categories of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are actually marked on the household registration system and also classify your occupation, such as craftsman.The artisans and workers here are different.

Gonghu means that you have sold your body and worked for the master's house. This belongs to the labor household, while the craftsman is a registered household, which means that you have the craftsmanship of a craftsman.

The restrictions on non-registered households in Datang are very strict, there is no freedom, and there is no qualification for buying a house, because strictly speaking, non-registered households belong to other people's property.For example, Shopkeeper Liu holds the deeds of prostitution of these brothel women in his hands, which is also the reason for the redemption.

After Li Ke spent money to buy them, the deeds of sale of these women were only in Li Ke's hands. It wasn't that their household registrations changed, but that they belonged to Li Ke, and their identities would not change. Changing their identities is very, very difficult. .

But Li Ke has this qualification and ability!

This is also the reason why these brothel women are all stunned.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I think we need to talk." Li Ke dropped a bomb, ignoring the dazed girls, but beckoned to Shopkeeper Liu.

"Yes..." Shopkeeper Liu was silent for a moment, then nodded obediently.

Li Ke and shopkeeper Liu found a room alone, leaving behind a group of girls in the lobby.

"Sister An Ning, you have a good relationship with His Highness, what does His Highness mean?" A woman who was not so outstanding in appearance asked a little nervously.

"Sister Liu Feng, actually my sister doesn't know too well, I just found out." Yang Anning shook her head slightly and said.

"Does His Royal Highness Shu really want to redeem us all? Can His Royal Highness afford it?" Another woman from a brothel said, although they are all cheap, they are not cheap, mainly because they are sought after. many.

"I saved a lot of money myself!" A brothel woman said suddenly.

"That's right! I have money myself! It's enough for me to redeem myself. In the past, I just kept it because I didn't know where to go after I redeemed myself." Another girl also woke up suddenly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" All of a sudden everyone cheered up.

……

After entering the room, Li Ke looked at Shopkeeper Liu in front of him, paused for a moment, and then said lightly, "Shopkeeper Liu, in fact, the owner behind Huiyue Tower has already collapsed, right?"

As soon as Li Ke's words came out of his mouth, shopkeeper Liu's body shook. She wanted to say something, but soon a wry smile appeared on her face, and she seemed to relax all of a sudden. , the owner of Huiyue Tower has long since collapsed, and I have worked hard to maintain this secret for so many years, and when I encountered some troubles, I asked the favor left before to solve them."

"Finally, it was discovered." Shopkeeper Liu sighed after finishing speaking, as if he was being slaughtered.

In fact, she had already been mentally prepared. She was just a weak woman, and she was able to maintain it until today. It was all because when the owner of Huiyuelou was still there, she had dealt with some officials who usually came to Huiyuelou.

These officials don't mind helping out with some minor troubles they usually encounter. Fortunately, the situation in the Tang Dynasty has been stable these years, and the new dynasty has just been established, and there are not many dudes.

But even so, shopkeeper Liu has worked very hard to maintain it, and only she understands the pain.

It is not easy for a small person to work hard to maintain among so many big people.

"So, do you have any objections to buying Huiyue Tower?" Li Ke smiled and asked directly without saying anything.

"No, in the past two years, if you hadn't helped Huiyuelou a few times, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the place would have changed hands a long time ago." Shopkeeper Liu simply shook her head. She knew very well that she could persist and deal with it without being found out. , but once found out, she couldn't last even a day.

"Well, but don't worry, the big shopkeeper of Huiyuelou is still yours, and I don't want any of the money that Huiyuelou has earned these years, I will leave it to you. I said come to work." Li Ke said with a smile.

"It's Your Highness." Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Liu resolutely put it down, what are you waiting for such a good thing?After being the big shopkeeper in Huiyuelou for so many years, she has seen too many people and things, she has long understood everything, everything is possible only when people are alive, and everything else is imaginary.
