In ancient times, there was no monitoring. Why didn't the brothel woman run away and choose to spend a lot of money to redeem it?

Most of the women in ancient brothels were miserable, and they usually went to brothels to make a living. Brothel is the last step that some ancient women had to take in the face of despair. They are either miserable and homeless, and they can only choose to step into brothels to make a living; Or have no right to be bullied by others, and can only go to a brothel as a prostitute; Or the family is heavily in debt and can't afford the huge debt, so they are sold to brothels as collateral.

In ancient times, women attached great importance to fame, and they would not fall unless they could not hold on. Obviously, this is not their initial wish. But in ancient times, there was no monitoring, the buildings were not high, and the doors and windows were not so tight. Like a brothel girl from a poor family. It seems that she can find a chance to escape, but why don't they escape? In many film and television works, it seems that their only hope of leaving Qingkou is to wait for someone? Fate? To redeem myself. Even if they can't wait for the right person, they don't escape, but choose to continue to endure, hoping to meet someone who pays a lot of money to save themselves. Why?

I. Involuntary fate

The living environment in ancient times is very different from that in modern times. At that time, the management form was different. Women are in a relatively weak position, and the rules at that time were made by men. In ancient times, only men had the opportunity to take power, while women were male-centered, and women were just like men? Private property? Therefore, money and beautiful women will always be put together, and both can be used to show the identity of ancient men. Their own private property is naturally not allowed to be touched by others. Under the long-term moral education, ancient women usually attached great importance to their reputation. Once ancient women lost their good reputation, they were like dirt, and they would be pointed at by people around them, making it difficult for them to live a normal life. If the situation is serious, these women may be excluded by everyone around them, and it is difficult for them to find a place to live. There may only be one place left to accommodate them, and that is the brothel.

Unless absolutely necessary, ancient women would not take the initiative to enter the brothel, and women who were already inside would try their best to let themselves leave this place. But there was no monitoring in ancient times, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find an opportunity to escape, but why didn't they run? Generally, women who have fallen into the dust are mostly in three situations. In the first case, the head of a family is a court official. After committing a felony, his property will be confiscated by the court, and their little daughter will also be implicated and punished as a prostitute and become an official prostitute. When they have some live entertainment, they need to play the piano and dance for ancient officials. Compared with others, their original treatment is not bad, so they won't escape and are used to a luxurious life. Even if they can escape, their lives are likely to be worse.

The second situation is that some women in ancient times had poor family conditions, and women could not take the scientific examination like men, which led them to be sold by their families to the rich as slaves or prostitutes. Or in order to reduce the burden on their families, they have no choice but to enter brothels. The third is that some people come from ordinary families, who can satisfy their food and clothing, but they are not very rich or have no fame and power. These people may be used by their families as tools to climb high branches. The family will train them into prostitutes, let them learn to sing, dance and play the piano according to their own talents, and give them to dignitaries when they grow up, so that they can be prostitutes in their own homes.

Second, ancient times? Monitoring system?

In ancient times, it was difficult for women to control their own destiny. Prostitution is the way out for some women under the difficult living conditions, so they can't leave that place, otherwise they will easily starve to death on the streets. They were treated well there. Most people who go to brothels are playboys, which makes their material life very good. In addition, because of her good looks, she is served by maids in her daily life, and she basically doesn't have to do anything except receive guests. Under such circumstances, they don't want to leave the brothel easily.

There are still some prostitutes who still want to leave that place and have been waiting for one. Fate? Come and redeem yourself, or redeem yourself with your hard-earned money. For such a woman who dreams of leaving a brothel, why didn't she escape without monitoring in ancient times?

In fact, although there was no monitoring and strict control over prostitutes in ancient times, what about them? Monitoring? In different ways. There will be a large number of staff in the brothel, such as the footmen who usually serve tea and water, and the maids of every brothel woman. They will all play the role of mutual supervision, which is equal to a supervision network. Besides doing their job well, they will also maintain and prevent order in brothels? Restless? The woman escaped. Moreover, the maid around the brothel women will also monitor them, making it difficult for them to get out of the brothel door even if they have that idea.

Some women will have a chance to go out, and then their maids will follow them everywhere, either by their side or at the door. And they are helpless, even if forced to escape, it is difficult to succeed. In addition, when these women go out, the brothel will provide them with special drivers, which means that a woman is always followed by a large group of people. If they run away, they may be beaten to death as a warning. If you really want to escape, you need to spend too much money to buy off many people, but the risks behind it are still high. After all, their lives are in the hands of others, and even if they spend money, they are likely to be betrayed.

Third, you can't escape the trap of fate.

Even if prostitutes are smart enough to escape the control of brothels, they are homeless and it is difficult to find their place wherever they go. Assuming they can escape from the brothel, first of all, in order to avoid being arrested and punished, they must find a way to escape from the city again. The checkpoints of ancient transportation hubs were guarded by soldiers, weren't they specially used for customs clearance? Summons? They can't go out either. ? Summons? This is the pass for ancient businessmen. If a brothel woman wants to be summoned, she needs to know some people and dredge them up before she can get it.

As prostitutes, they are burdened with sad life experiences, but they still can't take care of themselves. How can they get to know the contacts that must be cleared for her? Instead of going to great pains, they might as well try to find someone to redeem them, or use their life savings to redeem themselves! Brothels were legally operated in ancient times. If they run away in violation of the contract, no matter how miserable their life experiences are, it is difficult for anyone to help them. Like the chivalrous men seen on TV, there were probably not many in ancient times.

If one of them is really lucky and can escape from the brothel and walk out of the city gate by his own efforts, they will find it difficult to make a living and will probably starve to death in the end. After all, ancient women had few occupations, and they might not have the skills to survive. Maybe in the end, in order to survive, they will step into the brothel again, but they will continue to be prostitutes in another place. Instead of trying their best to escape, it is better to wait for someone to redeem, or to redeem themselves, or to wait until they are old and directly abandoned by brothels, so that they can really be free with their savings. Most prostitutes will choose the last one.
