Chapter 482 Roots
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look for Li Hui.
A little boy was toddling, and Li Hui and a group of maids followed carefully.
Seeing Baishi Yicheng, the little boy immediately smiled: "Daddy, hug!"
Baishi Yicheng hugged him and got dizzy, and said with a smile: "Jingkong, you are almost two years old, and you haven't learned how to walk yet, how stupid!"
"It's not Jing Kong's fault, it's because I'm too used to him, I hug him wherever I go, otherwise he's no worse than other kids."
Hearing Li Hui's words, Baishi Yicheng said helplessly, "Don't spoil your child too much. When I was his age, I could run, jump and even climb trees."
"We didn't have the conditions we have now when we were young."
After letting the maid back down, Li Hui leaned against him and said, "Why are you free to come to my place today?"
"I want to ask you something, do you know that Mae is in the red light district in the outer city?"
"I know, Mae often comes to see me and Chizuru, and will mention it from time to time, why, did she cause trouble for you?"
While teasing the child, Shiraishi Yoshiro said, "Oyajo Yan came to me to complain, saying that Mae's red-light district was smoky and wanted to close it. Tell me the truth, did Mae send you and Chizuru a gift?" money?"
Li Hui's face turned pale, and she hurriedly said: "The money was given away, but I put it in the account, and Qianhe is the same. Didn't you agree at the beginning?"
"I just heard Qianhe mention it. Don't worry, I didn't mean to blame you, tell me how much money Mae sent?"
"There are almost [-] million before and after."
"Two hundred million?" Baishi Yicheng said speechlessly: "This is not a small sum, why don't you ask why she gave the money?"
"I asked. Mae said that it was to find a way for the tribe to make money. After I lived in the castle, I didn't care about the tribe. I thought it was a good thing, so I agreed."
"What did she tell you?"
"She said that she was only responsible for the management of the red-light district, and then collected a commission. There is a share for you, and a share for the clan members. Since you delegated power, only Xiaoye and Shenjie are still in high positions in the clan, and almost all other people are Laid off, although you let them join Anbu, there are also many people who are not willing to continue to be ninjas, the source of life for these people”
Speaking of this, Li Hui smiled wryly: "After all, I'm actually to blame. I raised them so well that they didn't want to bend down to support themselves."
Shiraishi Yoshinori frowned and thought for a while, and told Li Hui what Oyajo Yan told him. Li Hui was dumbfounded after hearing it, and stammered: "No way, Mae. It's impossible to do such a thing."
"It doesn't matter whether I do it or not. Even if I do, I will protect her. The really hateful ones are those tribesmen who want to get something for nothing. I wonder if I am too kind to them. I didn't give me face, but all the bad things on them."
"this."
Li Hui hasn't been outside for a long time, and now she doesn't know the specific situation of the tribe.
Baishi Yicheng put the child in her arms, kissed her and said, "Don't worry, they are all relatives connected by blood. After I find out, I will properly arrange them."
After walking out of Li Hui's castle, You Chi appeared silently, and Shiraishi Yoshiro said expressionlessly, "Has the Anbu assembled?"
"The assembly has been completed."
"You Chi, do you know anything about the red light district?"
"I know, I also asked the two ladies, and they all said you know, so I didn't dare to mention it."
Baishi Yicheng was silent for a while, and said helplessly: "It's really dark under the lights. Forget it, let Anbu hide it. It probably won't be able to hide it. They are all my clansmen. Someone will definitely tip off the news."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I didn't tell them what the task was."
"Okay, let's go take a look with me."
Baishi Yicheng put on the mask and left the castle with Youchi, heading straight for the red light district in the outer city.
Walking on the streets of the outer city, from time to time there will be some impoverished people holding signs on both sides of the street, with wages and selling money impressively written on them.
Baishi Yicheng frowned and said, "People who are not official residents, I remember, are under the jurisdiction of government officials. Why do they start to take jobs privately, and what's the matter with selling themselves for money?"
"Your Majesty, these people may come out on their rest day to make more money. As for the money from selling themselves, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are now keeping slaves. After becoming slaves, although they are not official residents, they can live in the inner city and eat and drink. Don’t worry, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. That’s the thing. The domestic population is 45, but in fact it is far more than this number. According to Anbu’s statistics, at least 10 people have become slaves.”
Baishi Yicheng's eyelids twitched, and he said in disbelief, "That means there is a population of nearly 60 in the country?"
You Chi silently nodded.
With blue veins on his forehead, Baishi Yicheng said with a dark face: "These slaves live in the inner city without household registration. Isn't there a potential safety hazard?"
"It's not that they don't have household registration. There are 28 official residents in the country, but in fact only more than [-] are official residents. The names of the slaves are all listed under the name of the head of the household. If the slave is disobedient, the head of the household can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to erase the slave's name at any time. Name, and of course if the slave commits a crime, the head of the household will also be held accountable."
You Chi hesitated for a moment and then said: "Official residents and informal residents. Their treatment is very different. For example, in hospitals, official residents only need to pay medical expenses on time, and it costs almost nothing to see a doctor, even for difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Informal residents simply can’t see a doctor.”
"In addition, to apply to become a formal resident, each department has an accurate target every year, specifically 500 people per month, and those who exceed the target will spend a lot of money. Half of this money goes to His Majesty's internal treasury, and half It becomes the activity fund of various departments.”
"."
Baishi Yicheng suddenly became dumb.
To be honest, he didn't know about the money, but he knew that his internal treasury was very substantial. When entering the account every year, the entries on it looked like a lot of people, and he didn't even look at it carefully.
"Well, the reason for the co-authorship is all on me."
If it wasn't for wearing a mask, You Chi would have seen His Majesty the Emperor blushing.
At this time, a scantily clad woman suddenly approached the two of them.
"Two, do you want to play a game, 100 taels."
You Chi was about to drive her away, but Baishi Yicheng said, "You Chi, give her 500 taels and let her lead the way."
The woman who received the money looked ecstatic and asked quickly, "My lords, where do you want to go?"
"Red Light District."
The woman's complexion changed instantly, and she waved her hands again and again: "My lord, I can't take this money, and I can't go to that place."
Baishi Yicheng said, "Should I go with more money?"
You Chi immediately took out 1000 taels.
