I am the king of the dead

Chapter 704 De, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not have it
Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, during the orthodox years, these bad things will not be presented to the imperial court, and they will be heard directly by the heavens. It is not a rare thing."

"The orthodox year was only nine years ago."

Before Yu Qian talked about his own methods, he first showed His Majesty's achievements.

During the orthodox years, this kind of thing, even the censor would not play it, because there are more important things to be solved, such as the Walla style, the repetition of the southeast Luchuan, the instability of the Miao people in Huguang, and the people in Guangzhou and Fujian who don’t even have shoes. There was a civil unrest.

Which one of these things is not a major event that makes the court and Ming Dukes shout that the Ming Dynasty is going to die?
As for these "little things" made by the bank, they were also accompanied by memorials during the orthodox years?Also assigned the head of a hundred officials to inquire and investigate in person?
The winter animals made by Fujian's chief envoy forced nearly a million people to rebel. This was the top priority during the orthodox years.

"I don't want to hear about clusters of flowers." Zhu Qiyu immediately shook his head and interrupted Yu Qian's words.

Yu Qian always felt a little weird, but he was known for his uprightness, and he was an out-and-out straight minister.

Even Emperor Taizong Wen was afraid of scolding people.

After all, Yu Qian had been in Yongle for 19 years, and he really scolded his Huiyuan as the third best 93.

Now that it's the Jingtai period, why is he becoming more and more like the flatterer who can't flatter?
Yu Qian let go of those thoughts and continued: "Your Majesty, this is actually not difficult to solve. Wherever something goes wrong, go to the audit. Behind the bank, if you can't afford money to accept it, you can just make up for it at home. Jilong Island needs money." Manpower, Chen Yi has been asking important people in the court recently."

"Your Majesty, if you ask them for money, they will definitely refuse to give it, but if you say that the family is exiled, they will probably be willing to take the money."

"If you want to do this, all the inspection departments must work together to prevent these rich people from fleeing."

Yu Qian originally persuaded Renshu, but ended up shouting and killing all day long.

"Good." Zhu Qiyu nodded. In fact, Yu Qian's words were roughly the same as Zhu Qiyu's thoughts. If you don't raise your knife to threaten this kind of thing, you won't be afraid.

If you are not afraid, you will know how to be afraid if you send a few to Jieyuan.

The impression of the great emperor was not wrong for the powerful and wealthy businessmen and tycoons.

Your Majesty is indeed a cruel monarch.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the huge map, and said with emotion: "I used to think that the ban on the wind power going to the West was entirely for the benefit of maritime trade. Today, it seems that it is not the case."

"They're all about being lawless."

Encourage maritime trade, tighten maritime restrictions, and the inspection department patrols day and night to prevent these gangsters from escaping to the sea after extracting the people's fat and anointing.

Hearing this, Yu Qian nodded and said, "Your Majesty has a high opinion."

In order to maintain a strong navy in the Western Seas, the patrol inspection of this navy will be very strict. What His Majesty thinks and thinks is indeed the truth.

Daming’s bookkeeping currency will inevitably be implemented steadily. With the extensive business expansion of Daming Yinzhuang, there will inevitably be conflicts with private money shops. This process will be long-term.

Yu Qian took out another memorial and handed it to Xing'an.

However, whenever Yu Qian needs to present himself to His Majesty, and even bypasses the memorials of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Supervisor of Rituals to a certain extent, it is something that His Majesty needs to make up his mind, and it is not even on the table.

After reading it, Zhu Qiyu frowned and said, "Is it serious enough?"

Yu Qian said with a heavy face: "As your Majesty has seen, in the memorials, in July of the eighth year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, in Taiping County, Taizhou, Zhejiang, there were more than [-] men and only [-] women."

"Among them, there are 480 males, and 240 males."

"There are 2 female big mouths and 640 small mouths."

The ratio of males and females over the age of 15 in Taiping County, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province is 140 to [-].

The ratio of male to female under the age of 15 is close to 361:100.

The number of girls is only a quarter of that of boys.

This ratio means that there will be a large number of bachelors in Ming Dynasty.

"This is counted by Tiqi himself. There is no hidden household, and there is no deceit, Your Majesty." Yu Qian said with an unbearable face: "We have to think of a way."

Yang Tie from Haichao Village needs 22 silver coins to marry a daughter-in-law. Yang Tie has planted cotton for Mr. Yang in Gaochang for a lifetime, and this salary is not enough to get married.

The reason why the asking price is so high is that the core is that there are more men than women, and the supply is less than the demand. Naturally, it is a seller's market.

In addition, which of the gentlemen is not a group of wives and concubines, there are eighteen concubines in Xia Shizheng, and the gentlemen occupy them all. How can the lower Riba people get married?

Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and said, "I've heard that it's common for folks to abandon baby girls."

Yu Qian nodded and said, "Yes."

Yang Tie was able to herd cattle at the age of five, and started working in the fields at the age of ten, but this girl could not herd cattle or work in the fields, and it became common practice to abandon and drown baby girls.

Didn't Daming have so many Bo'ai Townships that bought girls?
Didn't Daming have a mature industry chain for thin horses, and socialized raising of girls?
Didn't there be so many gentlemen in Ming Dynasty who like to have wives and concubines in groups and maidservants like clouds?

Didn't Daming have the custom of raising child brides-in-law?

Just like in the livestock market, it is rare to buy livestock cubs that are just a few days old. Children are waiting to be fed as soon as they are born, and when they are still young, they are not resistant to diseases and are very likely to die young.

No matter what kind of business, it is usually bought at the age of seven or eight.

Who will provide the rations for these seven or eight years?

From an extremely utilitarian point of view, raising a baby girl is a loss-making business that cannot make ends meet.

Labor makes man free, work gives personality.

Besides, which parent gave birth to a child just to sell it?

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment and said: "This is not something that can be solved with a piece of imperial decree."

Yu Qian looked at His Majesty, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Japanese kingdom is swarming, Jiaozhi, Liyue, and Annan are also in danger. In this troubled world, there are bandits everywhere, and the women's families in these three places are also at risk. He received it from Daming."

Scholars' speeches are all interlocking. First, they stated the status quo of the three places. Under the natural disasters, the Li Dynasty continued to increase the absolute value of grain exports to Ming Dynasty, and inside the Li Dynasty, there were such deposed princes as Li Yimin, who were ready to go at any time. rebel.

The countries of Jiaozhi, Annan, and Wa were deeply mired in war, and there were bandits everywhere in the country, and the law and order was extremely poor.

Bring the women from the three places to Daming.

Who will pick it up?How to pick it up?How much price to pick up?Who will organize the female relatives from the three places to board the ship?
It is impossible to catch slaves. Daming rescued these women who were caught in the war to come to Daming and marry their lovers. Does this save them from the fire and water?

Scholars have always been like this, stealing is not stealing, and receiving is not arresting.

"Yu Shaobao's words, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded by Qing rumor officials." Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

Yu Qian thought for a while and said: "It's better for the minister to be scolded a few times than to be bachelors everywhere in Ming Dynasty."

What is a bachelor?
In Ming Dynasty, bachelors were to be included among the wandering people, they were an unstable factor affecting social stability, and they were a new force of rebellion.

It is the nature of human beings and even creatures to eat and reproduce. These hormonal-ridden men will immediately poke a hole in the sky if they can't eat enough.

The core teachings of Confucianism say that complex is very complicated, but in simple terms, it actually regards order and stability as the highest value.

The bachelors who are flooded with hormones naturally have united front value.

Yu Qian is actually not afraid of being scolded, on the contrary, he has to let himself be less than perfect.

The white jade is slightly flawed, too perfect jade, it will give people a false feeling, people are too perfect, they are not living in the world, and there are some shortcomings, just like a person.

Yu Qian has a special status. In his position, he must always be cautious, and never be vague when he can break some dirty water on himself.

Even if His Majesty trusts you again, self-defilement is still necessary.

This is the reason why the Qin warrior Wang Jian kept asking the first emperor for beautiful women, luxury houses, and wealth.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Then let's do this."

"I obey the order." Yu Qian took the order and prepared to supervise the matter.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu can improve the status of women, provide women with job opportunities, increase the profit of raising daughters, and slowly adjust the population structure of Daming, such as the Weaving Bureau, such as the Women's Hall, such as the Doctor's Hall, these are all things he is doing.

But these policies will take time.

Nearly [-]% of the Ming Dynasty is single, this is an urgent matter.

Taking advantage of the unstable situation of the wars in Champa, Cochin, and Japan, a large number of female relatives were obtained to alleviate the crisis of Ming's population structure.

This is indeed very immoral, and Zhu Qiyu didn't have such a thing as virtue.

The one who is virtuous is the most virtuous uncle, and it has nothing to do with him as the emperor. If he is virtuous, the bachelors of Ming Dynasty will not have women.

The men of Wa, Cochin, and Champa will definitely thank the Ming emperor for his great virtue.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian had a detailed discussion about this matter, and Yu Qian bowed his head and resigned.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival again." Zhu Qiyu stood up, picked up three sticks of incense, and came to the altar. On the altar, there was a spiritual tablet, which commemorated the souls of the dead who could not rest in peace during the battle of the civil castle.

Surrounded by smoke, Zhu Qiyu sat quietly in front of the altar.

A small yellow door hurried to Xing'an and whispered twice in Xing'an's ear, then Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the incense is burnt out."

"Well, what's the matter?" Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, and the hostility in his eyes flashed past.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "There are 23 peasant households in Qingshan Town, Jiulong Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, who have come to Nanya to beat Dengwen drums. In response to the report, Li Xian, the governor of the sky, asked what to do."

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said coldly: "Is there anyone else who can beat the Dengwen drum? I thought Nanya would stop it no matter what."

The courtyard wall of Dengwen Drum Yard still has door locks. Zhu Qiyu still remembers that he ordered the courtyard wall to be demolished at that time. He thought that after he left, Dengwen Drum Yard would be locked again.

Obviously, not so.

Why are some people so afraid of the people beating the Dengwen drum?Also specially built a brick wall and lost the lock?

Because according to the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty, when the Dengwen drum was sounded, the emperor had to intervene.

Some things get up in front of the emperor, and if a group of people don't die, there is no way to end it.

The news of Zhu Qiyu's southern tour spread throughout the world, and Qingshan Town, Jiulong Prefecture, Jiangxi Province naturally also received the news.

"Let Li Xian be sent to Songjiang Mansion, why did the people beat the Dengwen Drum?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a frown.

Xing'an presented the memorial to the emperor and said: "This is the memorial of Governor Yingtian."

Zhu Qiyu took the memorial and looked at it for a long time and said, "It's really interesting."

People in Jiangxi beat on the drum to sue Yao Long, the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Jiangxi, for occupying 33 hectares of land.

Yao Long is a son of the Yao family in Tonglu, Zhejiang Province. He and his cousin Yao Kui were Jinshi in the seventh year of Zhengtong.

According to legend, for more than three generations, Emperor Shun had two ministers, one named Kui, who was the official of music, and the other named Long, who was the official of admonishment.

The two brothers Yao Kui and Yao Long and Shang Ren of Lianzhong Sanyuan in the middle of the court were from the same hometown and were in the same year, so they had a very close relationship.

Yao Kui himself was the first in both the provincial and general examinations, but he failed to win the first place in the palace examination, and he did not win three yuan in a row.

Yao Kui is now the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, the governor of Guizhou, and presides over the reform of Yunnan and Guizhou, the return of land and the promotion and promotion of officials.

And Yao Long has been the Zuo Buzheng in Jiangxi for three years since the fifth year of Jingtai.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft rattan chair, looked at the memorial in his hand and said: "This Yaolong has been rated as the best in the past years, and even Chen Mao, the Marquis of Ningyang, called him a good man."

Before Yao Long came to Jiangxi Zuo Buzheng, he was the right Buzheng in Fujian from the first year of Jingtai to the fifth year of Jingtai.

At that time, Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, had just put down Deng Mao's seven people's rebellion and practiced farm law on Fujian.

And Yao Long was ordered to Fujian in the first year of Jingtai, and worked with Chen Mao to manage Fujian after the war in an orderly manner.

And in Jiangxi, Yao Long is also known as a virtuous person, and he has passed all the previous examinations, all of which are at the top of the class.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the memorabilia in his hands, and the playful smile on the corner of his mouth became heavier and heavier. He said with a smile: "I remember the two brothers Yao Long and Yao Kui, but they are the Dazong of the Yao family in Tonglu. In Tonglu County, there are [-] hectares of land. , it’s almost reaching Prince Xiang’s mansion, what’s the name of the Patriarch of the Yao family, Yao Weide, right?”

Xing'an took out a large memo, rummaged through it carefully and said: "Yao Weide, styled Jianhe, nicknamed Xueshan, also known as Xianer Chushi, 25th generation, the head of Xueshan Academy, is also Yao Long's Father, their family has [-] hectares of land."

"Yao Weide's younger brother is Yao Weishan, Yao Kui's father."

"In early June, Yao Weide and Yao Weishan included fertile land in the farm law. Tang Zichang, the magistrate of Tonglu County, made a special report and said: Yao's family is full of loyalty, he is a scholar of Ronglu, he is well-known for his writing, and he has a lot of good things to say."

The Yao family is half-Tonglu, and wants to promote the farm method in Tonglu.

Without Yao's nodding, can it go on?

It is possible, but the way it is done is not as gentle as it is now.

The two pillars of the Yao family, Yao Long and Yao Kui, were officials in the court, and Yao Long sat on the left.

Fang Bo set up Fang Bo thousands of miles away in Zhouli.

The official position of Fangbo is that the emperor of Zhou appointed the royal family hero and Yiqin as the head of the princes in the vassal kingdoms he enfeoffed, and represented the royal family to govern and care for one side.

The folks of the Ming Dynasty honored Zuo Buzheng as Fang Bo.

Yao Kui is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, the third-rank official of the capital, and he is the master of Daming.

For the official career of the two children, when Tang Zichang, the magistrate of Tonglu County, came to the door, Yao Weide and Yao Weishan had a discussion, and as soon as they were cruel, they included the fertile land in their hands into the imperial court's farm law.

The Ming gentry, who were not prepared to run away, also gradually figured out some of the emperor's character.

When Emperor Ming talked with you for the first time, it was the most lucrative time.

If they don't cooperate, the conditions will become extremely harsh when they negotiate for the second time.

the third time?
No third time.

The 100 hectares of land of the Yao family in Tonglu can get about 30 million shi of grain every year in addition to the tenants.

Zhu Qiyu gave Yao's twenty survey and joint ship certificates every year. These twenty survey and joint ship certificates can allow twenty three-masted ships with thousands of materials to go to sea. Some earn.

If Yao Shi is willing to go to sea, it will depend on Yao Shi's fate to earn more or less.

When Yao Weide and Yao Weishan received the survey and joint ship certificate, they were a little confused. It seems, it seems, maybe His Majesty is not the same as the image in the rumors?
They thought His Majesty was going to grab it outright.

Yao Long is the left governor of Jiangxi, and the Yao family of Tonglu is a well-known gentry who dedicated himself to the emperor. Is Yao Long guilty of occupying the 33 hectares of land in Qingshan Town?

"This Yao Long, I'm afraid he is suing himself." Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and said, "He personally managed the directions for the 23 households in Qingshan Town."

"interesting."

　The Yao family in Tonglu is not a fiction. Yao Kui was also one of the six ministers of clay sculpture during the Chenghua period.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! !
