Daming: I help my wife be the empress

"Yu Dang has a heart." Liu Shuying praised first.

Yudang is Wei Yao's character, and now women who are officials in Ming Dynasty are all in line with men, so those who don't have characters take their characters.

"Your Majesty and Du Qiansi have long anticipated and prepared for the situation you mentioned.

The court's propaganda and calling on the people not to hoard new money is just one of them. Although it seems that the court's call is not very effective, those people who don't listen to the court's call to hoard money crazily, even if they really lose their money in this matter, they should of.

You must know that even if a politician treats the people, he should not be soft-hearted, but must let them have a long memory, so that they will trust the court even more in the future. "

What Liu Shuying said is a bit cruel, but it is the truth.

The imperial court persuaded, but the people did not listen, what can be done?

Is there a law that prohibits people from hoarding new money?

Not to mention that this standard is not easy to define, and it is easy to offend the people.

The imperial court has done everything that should be done, and left the rest to the common people.

If you can't grasp it, you will lose your family and property, no wonder the court.

Seeing that Wei Yao was still frowning, Liu Shuying said, "You don't need to be so worried, the Superintendent of Money has identified many private money dealers, and an important operation will be launched in the next few days.

At that time, many private money dealers will be brought to justice.Without these people secretly buying new money and spreading rumors, the price of new money will drop, and the common people may not lose too much money. "

"Yes." Although she knew that Liu Shuying's words were comforting, Wei Yao still nodded.

"By the way, you follow me to the lounge."

After speaking, Liu Shuying took Wei Yao to the ladies' lounge near the Hall of Martial Arts.

This place is called Shi, but it is actually a row of gallery rooms. There are not only spacious tea rooms with large windows, but also "single rooms" with closed doors and windows, which are specially used for temporary rest and recreation by female officials and court ladies.

Of course, eunuchs and officials also had similar lounges.

After entering a single room in the lounge, Liu Shuying smiled and said, "You are taking leave today because of your menstruation?"

Wei Yao couldn't help lowering her head, her face flushed slightly, "Yes."

Liu Shuying took out a thing from the big purse on her waist and handed it to Wei Yao.

Wei Yao took a look at it, and guessed the use of this thing, couldn't help but blushed even more, and asked in a low voice: "What is this thing?"

Liu Shuying smiled and said: "This thing is called a sanitary napkin, and it is actually a menstrual belt for our women, but it is much more convenient to use than a menstrual belt."

Immediately, she glanced at Wei Yao's lower body, showing embarrassment, and said: "However, this item needs to be used with underwear, so you may not be able to use it now."

After hearing Liu Shuying's words, Wei Yao carefully looked at the "sanitary napkin" in her hand.

In fact, women in the Ming Dynasty had made considerable progress in solving menstruation problems.

Although cotton was introduced to Shenzhou during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, its role was not developed, and it was not given corresponding attention. It has been planted in small quantities in the western frontier, and it was not introduced to the mainland until the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.

It was not until Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty that he ordered the forcible promotion of cotton throughout the country, so that various functions of cotton were developed and utilized, and it became an important crop. …

As the filling of menstrual belt, it is one of the functions of cotton.

It's just that the menstrual belt is usually wrapped around the body, and it is a bit inconvenient to use after all.

So Auntie Zhu ordered people to imitate the sanitary napkins of later generations.

If imitation regardless of cost, it is naturally easy with the technology of the late Ming Dynasty.But Aimee Zhu wants low-cost sanitary napkins, because only in this way can ordinary women afford them.

Therefore, although Auntie Zhu ordered the original needlework bureau (one of the twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus in charge of the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, which is now merged into Shangyijian) to develop it very early, it was not until a few days ago that she developed a work that satisfied her. .

Now, Aimee Zhu has asked the Department of Internal Affairs to step in and set up a Nanjing underwear factory with internal funds, specializing in the production of underwear for later generations that is more beneficial to women's health. The sanitary napkin of the Ming Dynasty is its flagship product.

It's just that the underwear factory is still under construction, and the actual interview for its products is estimated to have to wait until September. Liu Shuying got the samples given by Auntie Zhu.

At this time, Liu Shuying was a little embarrassed and continued: "Later, you can go to the Shangyi Supervisor to make a show, and when you go back, let your family sew a few pairs of underwear, and then you can use this sanitary napkin.

This is how it is used... Do you think it is much more convenient than a menstrual belt?And more hygienic. "

After Liu Shuying whispered in Wei Yao's ear, Wei Yao nodded like a chick pecking rice, her pretty face blushing.

···
In the city of Nanjing, Gu Daqi was sitting on the third floor of Huixian Building, with a meal worth dozens of taels in front of him.

There is a stage in the building, and there are musicians, singers, and dancers on the stage, forming a sensual performance-this is good entertainment for the wealthy after tea and dinner after the brothel industry has been hit.

But Gu Daqi's eyes were not on the stage, but through the window, looking at the market below, as if he could see the specific situation among the bustling crowd.

Today is the first day he sent someone to attack Zhaowu Tongbao.

Although he can't see the specific situation of his subordinates when he sits here, he can get the notification instantly.

At noon, Mr. Fan came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Gu Daqi immediately smiled and couldn't help but say, "Okay! Mr. Fan, let's sit down and have lunch too. Er, order!"

The reason why Gu Daqi was so happy was naturally because Mr. Fan brought good news.

The Zhaowu Tongbao that he transported to the city today was sold very smoothly, and they were all exchanged for a good price, which can be called a small profit.

According to his and Fan Lao's estimates, at sunset, at least [-] Wen can be exchanged in this city of Nanjing.

It should be noted that he also sent people to the counties below Yingtian Mansion, combined, I am afraid that 10,000+ Zhaowu Tongbao can be exchanged today!

Taking the money made by Chongzhen as an example, for every Wen Zhaowu Tongbao exchanged, he can earn at least five Wen made by Chongzhen, and if it is inferior money of worse quality, it can reach as many as dozens of Wen.

It should be known that he started hoarding Zhaowu Tongbao very early, and it was much cheaper to exchange Zhaowu Tongbao at that time than it is now.

However, such an exchange today is indeed not as profitable as selling overseas.Therefore, he is going to sell a small part, and stop when the price drops...

Soon at dusk, Gu Daqi went back to the manor outside the city first. Not long after, several carriages also came back with the copper coins exchanged today. …

Just as Gu Daqi was about to direct his servants to carry it, there was a sudden exclamation from the gate of the manor.

Immediately, a large group of imperial guards rushed in and headed straight for here.

Gu Daqi didn't think much about it, didn't bring anything, and ran to the reserved dog hole in the remote part of the manor, trying to get out.

I didn't want to drill halfway, but found that the waist and hips were too fat and stuck.

He hurriedly said: "Old Fan, give me a push!"

Before Mr. Fan could agree, a pair of military boots appeared in front of him, and at the same time a man said: "Don't bother, I'll just drag you out."

After finishing speaking, he directly grabbed Gu Daqi's collar and pulled him out.

Gu Daqi looked up, and saw several imperial guards surrounding him, all smiling.

"Captain, are we catching a big fish?"

"It's probably true." The chief of the imperial guards held onto Gu Daqi's collar and said with a smile, "Look at his clothes and figure, even if he is not the owner of this manor, he is still the butler."

Gu Daqi really wanted to say something to bribe these Imperial Guards, but when he looked around and saw other Imperial Guards coming over, he knew it was over.

I can only make up my mind.

So he shouted: "I am Gu Daqi, a talented scholar in Lishui. You can't arrest me if you take the provincial examination in this world!"

"Can't arrest you?" Wu Zhang grabbed Gu Daqi's collar even more tightly when he heard it, and shook it deliberately, "Whether you can arrest or not is not up to you, but the court's decision."

After speaking, he asked his soldiers to tie up Gu Daqi.

After Gu Daqi was brought to the gate of the manor, he saw a small banner of Jinyiwei and four captains.

Xiao Qi looked at Gu Daqi with the portrait, nodded, and said, "Gu Daqi, a scholar in Lishui, minted private money, maliciously hoarded new money, disrupted the country's economy, and is now under arrest pending trial. Take him away!" "

Hearing that Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi mentioned the issue of casting private money, Gu Daqi couldn't bear it any longer, and went limp like mud.

Lishui Gujia is just the beginning.

In the following month, hundreds of private money dealers and minters of private money were arrested in Yingtianfu and even the entire Nanzhili and surrounding provinces.

Those who dared to arrest by force were mostly beheaded on the spot by the new army of Ming Dynasty...
