During the Qing Dynasty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was only changed by the police department, while the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the Xin Dynasty was the largest of the twelve ministries, including ten departments including police, household registration, land affairs, disaster relief, associations, etiquette and customs. This minister was Zhang Chengyue, who controlled the police to prevent chaos in the police system. Other household registrations and land affairs were left to others, which had nothing to do with force.

In the new formal government, Qiu Jin was appointed as the Minister of Civil Affairs, that is, the Deputy Minister. Except for the police, he could not intervene, many women from other departments passed the assessment and became officials with her support. Women who could take exams and become officials in this era should not be underestimated. These people were not many, but their energy was not small. These tigresses once wrote a letter to suggest the cancellation of brothels on the grounds of discrimination and playing with women. However, the existence of the Xianggongtang in the eight major hutongs immediately made this argument bankrupt. After all, the customs industry is still a special business, and there is supply when there is demand. Can it be banned in ancient and modern times, and China and abroad for thousands of years?

As for moral ethics, when did Prime Minister Yang Rui care about the moral ethics established by Confucianism? Not thinking about old feelings is called ruthlessness; not being loyal is called irrationality; not advocating ethics is called irrationality. This is the empirical summary of the current prime ministers, but they dare not add a sentence later: Taking the respect of the current prime minister as the defendant is called law.

In trying to convince Yang Rui and Congress that failed to cancel the brothel, Qiu Jin and others could only use the existing laws to rescue those brothel women who "suffered and suffered". But in reality, although those women "suffered and suffered", they lived much more than ordinary women. The biggest pain was nothing more than meeting rude customers, or being beaten and hungry by the madam because of their poor business and too little money. Those who really regarded brothels as fire pits are the ones who just entered the industry and the ones who earned enough money to become good.

There are so many poor women. The madam used to buy women to work on her own. Now that the trend of population mobility is gradually increasing, many beautiful female workers voluntarily started this business. So in the end, only the latter needs to be rescued. Lu Mengxiong just wanted to save these women who made enough money and wanted to get out of the fire pit and become a good woman. After all, in the concession, except for the Axe Gang affiliated to the Intelligence Bureau, Qiu Jin and others really couldn't think of any better way.

When Yang Rui was inspecting the shipyard in Nanjing, a grand wedding was held in Aili Garden in Shanghai. Twenty-three good brothel women married Lu Mengxiong, the general of the dynasty, as their concubines. Amid the joy of the wedding, many brothels and mothers were frowning. They were greedy for the purpose of being involved in court officials. So they received very little money for redemption, but who expected that there were more than twenty people who married concubines, and there seemed to be too many mother-in-law.

Qiu Jin was wearing a third-rank official robe, and no longer had a Japanese sword hanging around her waist, but a Chinese sword. She seemed to have not seen the frown madams, and just smiled and watched the emcee take the marriage. The low price of the madam was only a small part of her plan, but it was also the most critical part. Now that the big thing has been done, it is inevitable to be happy. After the newcomer greeted her, she shouted loudly: "Girls, please have a glass of water and wine first. The auction will be held later. At that time, the royal treasures and some old items from the Prime Minister will be taken out for auction. Please wait. Please wait!"

After the wedding, there was an auction, which was inappropriate. But this was what the newspapers promoted, taking advantage of the break in the change of venues. Qiu Jin hurried to the back and asked Wu Zhiying, who was urging to count the money: "Did you figure it out? How much money did you receive?"

Wu Zhiying was sweating all over her head. Several accountants transferred from the Shanghai Municipal Government in the room were doing abacus in Balabala, and several Chaofeng from the pawn shop in Shanghai were valuing each gift. However, time was too tight and there were too many gifts. There was no accurate number. She looked back at the accountant and shook her head when she saw her, saying, "Xuanqing, this is probably going to take another time to achieve the result. Now it has more than 31,300 yuan, which is a little different from the 100,000 we want."

"Hey! That's still so much!" Qiu Jin sighed. "I can only watch the auction."

After she said that, she left here and went to the inner room of Aili Garden to meet the newcomers. At this time, the guest groom Lu Mengxiong had already escaped, but she saw more than 20 brides chattering there, and a few were asking where the groom had gone. However, as soon as Qiu Jin arrived, the inner room suddenly became quiet. Under the leadership of Qifeng and Zhufeng, everyone saluted like Qiu Jin, "Master Qiu helped me and my sisters escape from the cage, the little girl's life..."

There are a lot of women in brothels. Mr. Qiu can't control whether they are sincere or false, and said in a real way: "Okay. Get up. General Lu has left. You have not gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for marriage, which saves a lot of trouble. If you see someone you like in the future, then marry him, and no one will stop him..." Qiu Jin said so, and the women wanted to thank him again. She hurriedly stopped him, "If you really thank you, then as we agreed before, buy some stocks of the sock knitting factory as a thank you. If this factory is really done in the future, you are also shareholders of the factory and will not suffer any losses."

More than 20 people are the top names in Shanghai Book House, so the cost of redeem is extremely high. Now, Qiu Jin talks about the Xiang. He is still the general of the dynasty, and the brothel just goes through a formality and gives some money. However, it was agreed at the beginning that after he came out, he would have to spend some money to buy stocks in the sock knitting factory to make money to save the suffering women in the world.

"Sir Qiu, let's donate now, don't now." Several women immediately said when they heard this. Although Qiu Jin had told them many times, some of them had not figured out what was going on.

"Not donating! This is a business. If you are willing, buy stocks. If you are willing, keep them for a good life. Never go back." Qiu Jin reminded him. Then he told his secretary Yi Weijun: "Take them to the account. When buying stocks, watch some, and let them not buy those with less money."

"Yes, I understand!" Yi Weijun smiled. In fact, this was completely the plan she made. Now that she reached this point, she was so happy that the real money raised was the money and the auction, not the private money of these people.

When Qiu Jin was in the back hall, the wedding hall outside was simply arranged and auctioned.

"Dear guests, there are ten treasures in this auction, all of which are of extraordinary value. The first one was on the surface of the East China Sea two months ago. He fought in bloody battles with General Cheng Biguang's sword..." The same person who hosted the auction and the wedding was held, and the voice was loud. As soon as the 'General Cheng Biguang' came out, the audience was shocked. No matter what the result would lead to the Battle of the East China Sea, we always won. The Japanese said that underwater sneak attacks and other things were all nonsense. From ancient times to the present, there would be no ambush in that war. Besides, China's victory in this battle was a big increase in national ambushes, especially General Cheng Biguang risked his life to introduce Japanese ships into the ambush site of the submarine, which was highly respected by the Chinese people.

"I'll pay a thousand yuan!" A Shangshen who had just finished giving the gift at the wedding shouted before the host finished speaking.

As soon as he shouted, someone immediately shouted: "I'll pay two thousand dollars..." The auction of gold-making tools began.

Lu Mengxiong was a native of Shanghai. Many of his weddings came to Shangshen in Shanghai. In addition to Shangshen, there were also many industrialists. Although these people understood that Qiu Jin organized the auction and sold it to the Prime Minister, they had to sell it to face. However, their ultimate goal was to maintain the situation. The last two items of the ten treasures were Yang Rui's manuscript. If it was valuable, it was valuable, and if it was not valuable, it was worthless. But no matter what, the manuscript could not be taken too low. Another one was a pair of silver bracelets worn by the Queen of the Dynasty before entering the palace. This was actually an ordinary thing, and I don't know how Qiu Jin got it. Like the Prime Minister's manuscript, the Queen of the Queen's beloved thing today could not be taken too low. Otherwise, the manuscript would be furious.

One by one, the first eight items were taken. When Yu Qiaqing saw the last one of Zhang Taiyan’s calligraphy, he took 1,300 yuan. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief. According to the previous market, Yang Rui’s manuscript was taken for 3,000 yuan, and the empress’s bracelet was taken for 9,000 yuan, then everything would be fine. I didn’t expect that as soon as Yang Rui’s manuscript was introduced, Zhu Zhiyao, the general manager of Qiuxin Shipyard, shouted: “I will pay 10,000 yuan!”

Wow! The audience was shocked. This flattery is really...

"Everyone, Zhu learned the management science created by the Prime Minister and felt the mystery. Today, I would like to give up the manuscript of this introduction to management science to help Zhu." Zhu Zhiyao looked proud and bowed in all directions while smiling. He came from a shipyard, and there were only a few private shipyards across the country. Whether the business is good or not depends on the court's policies.

His behavior shocked Song Weichen, a tycoon from Hankou who also runs a shipyard. He relied on national support policies to make a living. Zhu Zhiyao paid 10,000 yuan, and he must not miss it. He ignored Yu Qiaqing's eyes beside him. He suddenly stood up and said, "Song is also studying management, and he has to recite it many times every day. It is said that there are many contents in the manuscript of the Prime Minister that have not been published. Song has long wanted to invite him home to read it. Master Zhu, I am going to offend him." He said to Zhu Zhiyao gentlely, and then said to the auction host: "Song pays 20,000 yuan!"

As soon as these words came out, the venue was silent and everyone could not even make a fuss. Zhu Zhiyao wanted to fight again, but knew that Ningbo merchants were not easy to offend, so he had to give up. After all, his words today would still reach the Prime Minister's ears.

Yang Rui's manuscripts were so valuable. Qiu Jin was shocked when he was watching him. He had known that he would have taken a few more manuscripts from Cheng Xu Han Xianfeng, but there was no regret medicine in the world. Just as she was about to see the last treasure, the silver bracelet of the Queen of the dynasty began to be auctioned. This time, the beginning of the manuscript was Zhu Baosan, the leader of the Ningbo merchants. He stood up and bowed to the north first, and then shouted: "The Empress is the mother of a country. Now she is pity for the miserable woman in the world. She specially handed over this beloved thing to Lord Qiu for auction. Zhu was not talented. In order to return this holy thing to the original owner, she would like to pay 30,000 New Yuan. I hope you can give Zhu a thin face."

It was 20,000 before, but now it is 30,000. Qiu Jin, who had been tired for a day and had not eaten, suddenly felt a little dizzy. Seeing that she could not hold on next to her, Yi Weijun hurriedly helped her down to eat. After only half an hour, he realized that the auction was over.

"In the end...how much did I pay for the final shot?" Qiu Jin leaned on the bed and asked weakly.

"Haha..." Yi Weijun just laughed, not saying it directly, but said: "Guess."

"Guess?" Qiu Jin also laughed, "Is it 40,000 yuan?" Yi Weijun shook his head, and she said again: "Is it 50,000 yuan?" Yi Weijun still shook her head, and she suddenly started to speak loudly: "Is it 60,000 yuan!?"

Seeing Qiu Jin talking more and more excited, Yi Weijun, who knew she was going to rest, said: "It's 99,999 yuan!"

"Ah!" Qiu Jin's soft and powerful body heard that it was this number, and suddenly the spring jumped up from the bed. "So much money! Who paid for it?"

"Sister, this is not something that anyone has done. No one can afford this money. This is Ningbo merchants, Guangdong merchants, Shanxi merchants, and Hui merchants. These merchants are fighting. Our dynasty encourages industry and rewards, but there are also some rewards. In order to gain a reputation, these merchants have made sacrifices. The Shanxi merchants are paying off. After they were suppressed by the Prime Minister a few years ago, they were still afraid that they can only make money to please them." Yi Weijun said the whole story of the silver bracelet auction, and was very moved.

"Those people... Hum!" When he heard that it was a Shanxi merchant, Qiu Jin was immediately displeased. Without those damn Shanxi merchants, Man Qing, he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the pass. She supported the liquidation of these people, but for hundreds of years, he really couldn't settle the old accounts of that year. Yang Rui asked the State Bank to control all bills and was afraid that they would be greedy for the property of the Qing government, rather than completely liquidating them.

"Sister. The most important thing now is to run a good business to save more sisters." Yi Weijun knew Qiu Jin's thoughts and didn't like Shanxi merchants, but she didn't hit people with smiles. What's more, the new dynasty ruled the country according to law, and the previous dynasty was unclear.

"Okay." Qiu Jin stopped pursuing it after being angry, and asked now: "How much has he collected in total?"

"The auction collected 134,399 yuan, and the wealth was calculated, which was about 64,300 yuan. The total amount was about 200,000 yuan. This money can also be done in addition to setting up a sock knitting factory." Yi Weijun said. "By the way, Mr. Yu Qiaqing and Yu from the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce said he wanted to see you if you have something to do..."

Qiu Jin, who was excited to collect 200,000 yuan, was no longer dizzy now. He heard that it was Yu Qiaqing and asked curiously: "What are he doing?"

"He said he could help turn the 200,000 yuan into 600,000 yuan." Yiweijun smiled.

"How did this... change? Could it be a mortgage loan?" Qiu Jin said. "It's not right. A maximum of 200,000 yuan will be loaned to 200,000 yuan. If you ask him to wait in the living room, I will meet him."

There was a chaotic battle at the auction, and in the end, the Shanxi merchants who ignored the money took the lead. Especially when they offered a price of 99,999, the people behind them didn't know how to increase the price. You can't get a price of 99,000. At Zhu Baosan's instructions, Yu Qiaqing was here to make up for the shortcomings of the auction. In the living room, he looked at Qiu Jin, who was a little nervous, and he didn't keep it in a slight way.

: "I admire Master Qiu's business to help women in distress. Unfortunately, the imperial court is only focusing on machine shipbuilding and other things, and he really has no money to run a sock knitting factory. Although Master Jin raised a huge sum of 200,000 yuan, he wanted to help women all over the world. This money was still a drop in the bucket. Yu Moujin had a plan, which was to ask the adults to set up a joint-stock company and then list on the stock exchange. The stock capital would not take long to raise 300,000 to 400,000..."

It turned out to be listed. Qiu Jin thought to himself. "Mr. Yu, now women's revival will run a sock knitting factory, but it is not necessarily for profit, and it is even difficult to make money. If you take it to the list, you are afraid that no one will be willing to buy stocks."

"Sir, let's make the sock knitting factory a profitable one." Yu Qiaqing advised. "It's not a solution for women's revival clubs to always rely on donations to auction. The best way is to be able to bear the profits and losses as the size of the sky-shaped stockings back then. Then, some of the profits are taken out... to improve the status of a woman, which is not against the original intention."

There are many poor people in China, and Yang Rui doesn't do it. At least in the past ten years, he has no money to do it. Before the World War, the foundation of military industry and heavy industry, and the remaining funds are invested in industries that can make profits in the World War. This is the direction of national investment in recent years. Because of this, the Women's Revival Association led by Qiu Jin can only raise funds for self-financing of sock factories and other women's employment factories. The wedding bride price is to raise money, the auction is to raise money, and the brothel who successfully redeems the money is also to raise money to buy stocks, but most of the uses of this money is non-profit. After all, the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not have the right to run factories, and the Women's Revival Association is just a club, and he doesn't understand how to do business. Now Yu Qiaqing suggests using this money to start a company like Tianzi, and Qiu Jin suddenly feels that it can't be done.

Seeing that Qiu Jin was feeling embarrassed, Yu Qiaqing advised again: "Mr. Qiu, let alone Lu and Navy, there are more than millions of tax police, patrol officers, teachers, and students across the country. If you can sell your socks to them, the sock knitting factory will not be able to make money."

"Government procurement has procedures. If a woman's factory cannot do good things and low prices, it will not be able to do business." Qiu Jin immediately understood what Yu Qiaqing meant and immediately knew that the road would not work. "But I still have to thank Mr. Yu for helping to come up with ideas." After that, he served tea and saw the guests off.

It is a pity that Qiu Jin did not understand the difference, but thought that under Yang Rui's intrigue, the army had a special general logistics department and the government had a special general procurement office. The rules were extremely strict. Who had taken advantage of the loopholes and had not heard of it yet. He knew that his idea was wrong. So he stood up and said goodbye: "It is admirable for Lord Qiu to seek benefits for the female leader, but women who want to make a name for themselves. To save women all over the world, it is difficult to do it with one person alone. If the general procurement office of the imperial court cannot be compatible, then he must also find a way to turn the sock knitting factory into a profitable factory. You must know that industry is industry, and relief is relief, but it must be completely separated!"

Yu Qiaqing's advice made Qiu Jin ponder. Her previous idea was to use the money to buy some flower tying machines and sock weaving machines. In addition to setting up a sock weaving factory, some of the machines we bought were given to the Women's Revival Association Branches in various places. Therefore, the money was not intended to be profitable, but if it was not profitable, it would not be expanded, and the fewer women were relieved. But if it was intended to be profitable, would it still be a good deed?

While Qiu Jin was pondering about good deeds and industry, Yang Rui was on the train from Nanjing to Shanghai. When Nanjing came, Shanghai must go to Shanghai. Shanghai Light Industrial Park should also go to Tongji University. He also needs to support the new Shanghai Bill Exchange, which was established after the two sides were abolished and changed the country. There are also Chinese and foreign businessmen in Shanghai who are worried that the war between China and Japan will affect business. He should go to comfort and comfort. At least in the past few months, he would also express an attitude that disputes can be resolved, and try to push the responsibility for the war to Japan... In all the things, taking advantage of the gap on the road, he was listening to Li Zilong report on Lu Meng and Xiong Qiujin.

"General Lu's wedding was said to have received more than 64,000 yuan in bride price, and 130,000 yuan in the auction..." Li Zilong was surprised while reading the instant telegram from Shanghai.

"Why is it so much?" Yang Rui was also surprised. He remembered that Qiu Jin wanted 80,000 or 100,000 to buy a sock weaving machine, saying that he wanted to buy thousands of flower tying machines and sock weaving machines to provide employment for women in the Women's Revival Club. He knew that the money was not available at the time, but he didn't expect that she would get 200,000 yuan.

"This..." Li Zilong felt that the 60,000 yuan bride price was not good, but it was not his opinion on whether it was illegal or not, but what the inspector's view was. He had to focus on the 130,000 yuan at the auction. "Qiu Jin left Beijing and came to Shanghai to ask for the queen to see the queen. It was probably a complaint, so the queen gave her a pair of silver bracelets she had with him. At the auction, several major merchants scrambled to buy the pair of silver bracelets. In the end, the Shanxi merchant paid a 99,999 yuan, and then he pulled the money up."

"Those old jealous jars are really willing to put down their books!" Yang Rui was also surprised when he heard that Shanxi merchants spent 100,000 yuan to buy a pair of silver bracelets. After all, Shanxi merchants are good at political investment. Although they suppressed them a little the year before, they were still bold. The Hui merchants who worked hard and the Zhejiang merchants who were petty are still hard to compare with them.

"Yes, Prime Minister." Li Zilong said: "These money is probably the ones who make up the money. Although there is more than 100,000 yuan, it will not be much if it is distributed. Also... Prime Minister's manuscript has also been sold for 20,000 yuan. If you add these 20,000 yuan, it will be 120,000 yuan..."

The manuscript was made by Yang Rui to Cheng Xu before. Qiu Jin had always been intimate with her, and probably complained that she wanted to save the miserable women in the world. She deceived the manuscript. Yang Rui felt a little unhappy when he thought of this. Why don’t he talk about Cheng Xu now? It was a wonderful time in Shanghai, but he didn’t expect that one of the beautiful witnesses was auctioned.

Yang Rui didn't say anything, but Li Zilong was not saying anything. Just when he was about to go out, Yang Rui suddenly asked, "What are you going to do if that guy Qiu Jin took this 200,000 yuan? What kind of flower tying machine and sock weaving machine are you really buying?"

"It should be so!" Li Zilong said. "Before, she kept sending people to inquire at major trading banks in Shanghai, saying that she wanted to buy thousands of flower tying machines and sock knitting machines. Now that she has money, she must buy it." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
