Prosperous Tang special forces

Chapter 227 New Policy
It was this question again, Li Shimin looked helplessly at the officials, hoping that one would stand up and speak for him.

But obviously, everyone turned a blind eye to Li Shimin's gaze, they didn't believe that Li Shimin could keep them.Besides, all the ministers also felt that Li Shimin was a little too much. There are only so many beautiful women in this world, and they were all called into the palace by you. What about your descendants?

You must know that Li Shimin's recruits are all young women, and it is more dangerous to argue with Long Feiyu in the court.If you don't have an exact strategy, it's easy to lose money if you stand up rashly.

Seeing all the ministers drooping their heads, some were very excited.Li Shimin knew that everyone was speaking for him, so he could only smile awkwardly: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will let Concubine Yang and Concubine Xiao manage this matter."

"Your Majesty is wise, but I have nothing to do recently. Letting the woman out of the palace is a big deal, so I hope that Your Majesty will personally check and let the maid out of the palace."

"Long Feiyu, you are presumptuous. The harem is an important place for men to enter. It would be inappropriate for you to handle this matter alone."

"In an extraordinary period, an extraordinary method must be used. Since the empress's death, there has been no one in charge in this harem. The maids who are released from the palace must be strictly interrogated. If those women who were favored by His Majesty are released from the palace, then Where is the royal majesty?"

Although Long Feiyu said this, everyone could tell that he was afraid that the concubine in the harem would use this matter to eliminate dissidents and suppress all opponents from the hostile forces out of the palace. There is trouble.

Regarding Li Shimin's harem, Li Shimin himself knew it clearly. Concubine Yang's status is sensitive, and she absolutely cannot be the master of the world. As for other concubines, she does not have this ability.

Long Feiyu blocked the speech of all the ministers with one sentence, not because I wanted to take care of it, but because there was no master in the harem.Although Concubine Yang has become the nominal master at this time, no one is willing to raise this claim. Concubine Yang is the princess of the previous dynasty, and it would be fine if she was named the queen of the current dynasty.

What's more, regarding the matter of the empress, the important ministers in the court have already reached an agreement. At this moment, who is more virtuous than Empress Changsun? Things.

Seeing that no one objected, Long Feiyu continued: "Your Majesty, my Tang Dynasty is vast and sparsely populated, but now this Chang'an city is full of Goulan courtyard houses, and I walked all the way, and someone stood on the street to embrace Guest. This city of Chang’an is the capital of the country, and if it’s weathered like this, there are other places. Most of the women’s whereabouts are unknown in this Goulan, and they are full of people, carrying a large number of sick bodies. After making peace with men, It is inevitable that men will bring it to their wives at home, thus affecting the healthy growth of the next generation."

"Then what do you think? Are the Goulan courtyards all over the place closed?"

"Of course not. The pleasure of the boudoir is human nature. My Tang Dynasty is a thriving country. How can I abstain from sex because of choking? But it is harmless for the common people to go to this place of Goulan. But the important officials in the court cannot go. It is at the foot of the emperor, which represents the image of a country. If all the ministers of the court go to prostitutes, it will be messy and harmful to the country. And because the prostitutes like virgins, many people enrich the business of selling women. It makes Goulan Courtyard a Tibetan The filthy place, I request His Majesty to send troops to thoroughly investigate these Goulan courtyards, to reserve those who voluntarily stay to pick up guests, and to send medical officers to give inspections. If there is no disease, you can continue to work. If you are sick, or the origin is unknown Those who are kidnapped will all return to their hometowns. Goulanyuan involved in human trafficking will be sealed up. If there are scholars such as those in Goulanyuan, the scientific examination will be suspended for one session, and officials who enter the Goulanyuan will be severely punished.”

Long Feiyu's words caused the entire court to fall into discussion.Thinking of the old friends in their courtyard, Goulanyuan, these people have a bitter look on their faces, but Long Feiyu's suggestion is absolutely pertinent. All dynasties have banned this matter, and the Tang Dynasty must be no exception.So they can only keep silent.

This incident has no effect on Li Shimin either. There are so many beauties in the harem that he can't handle one of them in a day. How can he have time to care about the vulgar fans of the Goulan courtyard outside.But remembering that Long Feiyu was going to do something to his established beauties, Li Shimin felt a heartache. He was finally recruited into the palace, and was sent away by Long Feiyu just like that. It's time to take a look around.

After the court meeting, some people took the imperial list and posted it all over the place.Seeing another decree from the imperial court, the common people clapped their hands and applauded.No need to think to know whose idea this is.

However, the Goulan Courtyard in Chang'an suffered a sudden misfortune, and many literati were arrested and banned for one session.

In the palace, a large number of maids, eunuchs, and soldiers were dispatched to guard the palace.Long Feiyu specially brought tens of thousands of taels of silver from the treasury to settle down with these women.

All the female officials and eunuchs in the palace are here at this time.Concubine Yang also brought some women to help out.Looking at the long queue of women, a eunuch said: "Yang Rong, a native of Yizhou, is thirty years old and has never been summoned."

"Okay, give me a hundred taels of silver." After Long Feiyu finished speaking, he waved to the guarding soldiers and said, "Gather them together, make a unified arrangement in one place, and after the dismissal is completed, the imperial court will issue silver and send them back to their hometowns."

"Yes"

A eunuch came forward to take people down. In order to increase efficiency, Long Feiyu specially set up several checkpoints and let people out one by one.

Slowly, he became idle and watched from the sidelines.Concubine Yang watched Long Feiyu from the sidelines, wondering what she was thinking, and her eyes lit up strangely from time to time.

In just one morning, 6000 people were dismissed.At this time, Li Shimin ran over after finishing all the work, for fear that Long Feiyu would let go of his favorite beauty.

But after arriving here, I realized that none of these people knew each other.Some good looks, but unfortunately missed.

"Xu Hui, from Huzhou."

Just as Long Feiyu was about to talk to Li Shimin, he heard the eunuch reading the imperial decree.He hurriedly shouted: "Wait a while."

The eunuch walked over in doubt, looked at the woman and said, "Are you Xu Hui?"

"The little girl is Xu Hui, who met Lord Long."

Long Feiyu nodded and said: "I've heard about your name as a talented woman, did you leave the palace voluntarily?"

Hearing these words, Xu Hui didn't speak. Seeing that she didn't speak, Long Feiyu knew that someone was playing tricks. This Xu Hui was a famous virtuous concubine and a talented woman.How can we let her go out of the palace? Although the age is a little asymmetrical with that old man Li Shimin, who made them see Mung Dou in the same eye.So he waved his hand and said, "This Xu Hui is a woman His Majesty just recruited a few days ago, why was she also released from the palace?"

While talking, Long Feiyu saw Wu Zetian behind Xu Hui again, so he came again: "Meier, did you also leave the palace voluntarily?"

Wu Zetian quickly shook her head and said, "No, just now an eunuch informed us to come here."

"Nonsense, who arranged this to come in? Didn't you say that as long as you are over 25 years old, you will not be favored? Take it back, and make small moves in front of me, are you getting impatient?"

Long Feiyu's words were resounding, and the eunuchs were instantly stunned.They were not like those who followed Li Shimin, it was easy for Long Feiyu to kill them.

And listening to Long Feiyu's decision on the two women, let them understand that Long Feiyu must know these two people, and he has a very close relationship with the surnamed Wu behind him.With such a backer, these eunuchs did not dare to act recklessly.

Seeing Long Feiyu's fair release, Li Shimin was relieved, as long as he didn't release his favorite beauty.After observing around, he felt relieved and went back to the depths of the palace.

Long Feiyu left those young women behind, although Concubine Yang was a little dissatisfied, she did not dare to explode.It was her strategy to send these potential rivals out of the palace.Long Feiyu obviously knew about her small actions, and he was warning himself just now.Concubine Yang knew very well that she had no destiny to be a queen, and she was old and frail, so she wanted to crowd out her opponents, but she didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Long Feiyu. It will still be helpful for him to go up in the future.

In a few days, more than 3 maids in the palace were dismissed.Letting these people go makes a huge palace vacant all at once, but how long has it been since the last time the palace was emptied and so many women entered the palace, which shows how strong officials from all over the world are trying to curry favor with the emperor.

However, Long Feiyu didn't care much about these people, he just let them go after a few days.These people were recruited into the palace at a young age, just to relieve the pressure on their parents, and when they were released, they were just at the age of marriage.

After a few days of busy work, I finished dealing with the affairs of the palace.Long Feiyu was walking alone on the street, when suddenly a coquettishly dressed woman waved to him with a smile on the street corner: "Master, come, come."

There were also people gathered here not far away, and seeing them, Long Feiyu knew that the official document issued this time had little effect.The gambling houses and brothels in Chang'an City, the background behind them is not simple, and Chang'an Ling dare not move.

He didn't dare to report it casually. You must know that even if some people committed the crime of beheading, if you go to the wrong person, you can't be convicted.For example, Changsun Shunde rebelled against him, because Queen Changsun's pleas could be pardoned.

The same goes for places with backgrounds in Chang'an, so of course those high-ranking officials don't bother to do these things.But someone under him will do it, and they will naturally reap the benefits.

Although Chang'an Ling is the closest to the emperor, he has the right to go to court.It's the fastest way to get promoted, but it's also the fastest way to lose your head. The best way is to ignore it, as long as you don't overdo it.

Apparently Long Feiyu was dissatisfied with this, and went straight to the Chang'an Ling's government office.Compared with other places, Chang'an Ling's government office is too big. Hearing Long Feiyu's arrival, Chang'an Ling rushed out with a group of subordinates to greet him.

Long Feiyu still had some impressions of this official, and said lightly: "The official document of the imperial court to rectify Goulanyuan has been issued for several days, why is it not effective?"

Hearing these words, Chang Anling's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he said tremblingly, "Most of them are law-abiding people, and the officials have not found any lawbreakers."

"Okay, then you follow me. If you find the criminal, you can take off the hat on your head and go home."

"Forgive me, my lord. It's not that the lower officials will not investigate. There is really no way to investigate. Before I do it, someone will come out to stop the guarantee from time to time. The lower officials are petty, so I dare not investigate."

"If you don't dare to check, I'll check for you. I'll call up the three squads of fast-moving government servants, knife and pen officials. Take all the rosters of Goulan Yuan and follow me."

Long Feiyu ordered the Chang'an order, and returned to the palace specially. Seeing Long Feiyu's arrival, Li Shimin rolled his eyes and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"The minister came to ask for an order to dispatch troops."

"Deploy troops? What are you going to do?"

"The imperial court's order to rectify the Goulanyuan has been issued for several days, but there has been no movement at all. The power of those Goulanyuan is so entangled that the Chang'an Order dare not investigate at all. In addition, I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to disband the official prostitute system, and all women will resume their normal life." As a civilian, the local governments will give you severance pay, and you will be properly resettled. You can marry freely."

"Official prostitutes? You blocked the way for officials to go to brothels. Now that there are no official prostitutes, who will solve their living problems?"

"The current dilemma of my Tang Dynasty is that there is no one. The wars have caused the population of my Datang to drop sharply. But the pace of the expansion of the increasingly huge empire cannot be stopped. To expand, people are needed. The world is too big to We may not be able to occupy it in our lifetime. But now Your Majesty goes out to take a look, and many fertile fields are now barren. Those are fertile fields from the Sui Dynasty. Compared with the Sui Dynasty, the population of my Tang Dynasty at this time is too small, although it has become the scale of the prosperous age. .But without population, there will be no soldiers, and without soldiers, there will be no prosperity.”

"But what does this have to do with official prostitutes?"

"The release of official prostitutes is only a guarantee to improve women's means. It is advocated that the people should not have daughters today and no daughters-in-law in the future. There is no shortage of men in the Tang Dynasty, but women have never been replenished. The reason is that the people do not You are willing to raise a woman, but your Majesty has tens of thousands of resources for you alone. Official prostitutes from various places account for 10,000+ people. Your Majesty thinks about these who can serve as official prostitutes. Which one is not in good health? The children must be healthy. If these people are released, we can increase the number of people in a year."

"Then this is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. How can we stop people from thinking that they don't want to raise women?"

"Write women's right to support their parents into the law. The only daughter in the family must support her parents regardless of whether she is married or not. Of course, having a son is another matter, but women must also bear part of the support. People are unwilling to support women. It is because of the water poured out by the married girl, who has worked hard for half of her life. That's why she is unwilling to raise it, and the unmarried girl only needs to pay half of the land tax. After she gets married, her parents enjoy the land. Right to use, and pay land tax normally.”
