Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

"Lao Zhangtou, come on, good shredded tobacco." The middle-aged man handed Lao Zhangtou a small bag of shredded tobacco.

Old Zhangtou happily took it: "You still got shredded tobacco."

The man chuckled, "My eldest is following the businessman to run business, so he brought me some along the way."

Old Zhang head: "Your family's life will be better as you go."

The man’s family has three sons and one daughter, and they have all grown up. One of his three sons followed the merchants to go north and south, and both went out to repair bridges. The daughter and wife weave at home. The family's income is quite substantial.

The man's name was Zheng Liu. Although he was ranked sixth, none of the five brothers in front of him survived.

"That's all the emperor's sage." Zheng went to smoke at six o'clock, and sat down with old Zhang to smoke. "When you don't talk about chaos, just say last year, how can you expect to live like this?"

Lao Zhang took a mouthful of cigarettes and spit out: "Is your girl going to marry or recruit?"

Zheng Liu said: "When she gets married, she has an idea of ​​her own, and she has fallen in love with the son of Chengdong Zhao's widow.

Old Zhangtou said in surprise: "Oh! Your girl really has an idea."

Zheng Liu: "Widow Zhao said, my daughter was married, and she treated my daughter as her own daughter."

Old Zhang head listened.

Zheng Liu said: "It's okay even if she treats my daughter badly, there is still peace now, and if it's a big deal, she will leave. I think his family's reputation is stinky after leaving, so I want to find a daughter-in-law? Go dream."

"Nowadays women don't worry about marrying, and men worry about marrying."

Old Zhang sighed: "Who knew that life is so easy nowadays a few years ago..."

"My big ya and second ya, I carried them to the foundation of the city wall."

There were people coming and going on the city wall, and he threw the child there, hoping that high-ranking officials would pass by and the child would have a chance of life.

The adults in the family can't get enough food, let alone raising children.

Not to mention girls.

Anyone who throws children throws girls first.

During the war, I don’t know how many girls and babies died.

Now retribution is coming.

There are more bachelors and fewer women every day.

What's more, since the establishment of a garment factory, women would rather go to work than marry.

Women do not worry about marrying, even if widows over forty have someone to marry.

They would rather make more money while they are young and strong.

Old Zhang head hammered his own leg: "The road is going to be clear. When the road is clear, you can drive to the town. The ten miles and eight villages are connected together. It is also convenient to go to relatives."

"That road is wide and flat, so good!"

Zheng Liu smiled and said: "When the time comes to go to the market, I will go to the town to sell some gadgets and subsidize the family."

Old Zhang head laughed at him: "You still lack money?"

Zheng Liuzheng said: "I have three boys. After getting married, I can't still squeeze in the house today. My daughter gets married and I have to buy her dowry. This cost can't be saved, so I have to save some life."

Old Zhang head: "That's right, you are lucky enough to support four children."

Lao Zhangtou has only one son.

The two girls at the front were thrown under the roots of the city wall. Of the four boys at the back, one died and the two were sold to rich people as slaves. Only one was left.

When the world is in chaos, human lives are not worth money.

After selling the two boys, the food they got was saved for half a month.

"You save more money and marry a daughter-in-law for your kid. As long as you can give birth, the more you give birth, the better." Zheng Liu said to him.

Old Zhang also smiled: "Exactly, when my old bone is not resting, I have to see my grandchildren come out, so I can close my eyes."

The world is getting better, and the girls from all villages have survived the past few years.

Some kids now earn less than girls.

Even if the girl does not invite extravagance to marry, she still thinks of her family.

Many people in the village now rely on their girls to go to work in the garment factory to survive, and they never urge girls to marry.

Anyway, if you don't worry about getting married, it's better to earn a few more years.

The girls also got up, insisting on marrying what they like.

"As for the daughter of Aunt Zhao's family in Xiaohe Village, she secretly registered with her man in the government." Old Zhang still looked incredible when he talked about it. "Her father and mother think that the man is poor at home, and want her to marry her. A ten-year-old old man, she had an idea when she went to be the heir. She took a sign to register with a man, and her parents could not do anything."

"We only got married a few days ago."

Zheng Liu: "Her parents are also unclear. They just don't want their daughter to marry a poor man, so she can persuade her. If she has to marry a 50-odd old man, isn't it going to ruin her daughter? Being able to make money, such a good day, I still point to selling girls for glory, and his daughters did a good job."

"Furthermore, if you send your girl to school in the future, maybe you can be an official too!"

Speaking of this, everyone knows now. Your Majesty has appointed a female officer, or an envoy to the procuratorate. The common people don’t know what they are doing, but they all know that they are definitely not petty officials. of!

Although this is the only one, the common people can't help but think that if they send their sons and daughters to school, there is a greater chance of being an official at home.

After all, even if there are now free schools, the people are still more willing to let their sons go to school and their daughters to work at home.

After hearing that there were female officials, the people thought this was absurd, and they rushed to send their daughters to school.

Maybe your daughter will be able to shine in the future?

There was a lot of trouble about the female officer, and Lin Yuan's case also showed a lot of "faithful and straightforward advice" memorials, all admonishing him, hoping that he could take his life back.

I heard that there are still a few small and medium officials who cried out at the gate of the palace.

Someone who was going to hit the wall to commit suicide was stopped by the guard at the gate of the palace.

The guard said: "It's easy for you to die, but your family is still there."

The man walked away crying.

But it was impossible for Lin Yuan to take his fate back.

The first is that he is indeed preparing to improve the status of women, so as to ensure the survival rate of newborn girls. The current ratio of male to female population is still not optimistic. In many areas, there is still the habit of drowning female babies. He must give the people a gift. The reassurance is that there is only good for a baby girl to survive, not bad.

The second is that he is the emperor. If he takes back his life because of the pressure of his courtiers, he will gradually lose his prestige. Everyone will feel that the emperor is weak and can be deceived, and he is always ready to push his nose and face.

How many courtiers really felt that it was wrong for him to appoint a woman as an official?

They don't even know what the police station does and what powers it has.

But they will put pressure on him because this matter does not conform to traditional ideas.

Because they can stand the truth.

The exhortation seems to be justified, their reputation is unimpeded, and the emperor is the fault.

If the emperor doesn't listen, they can also earn the reputation of being a loyal minister.

The emperor listened, then they can get more benefits.

The emperor lost the first time there will be a second time.

Lin Yuan said to Chen Bosong: "It just so happens that you are back, send me some imperial decree."

Chen Baisong was feasting, he stopped his movements and put down his chopsticks: "I'm going?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "You now hold the power of a 300,000 army. Everyone who stands out will shake. I will give you an unimpeded token. You can cut it first and then play it. If you refuse to accept the order, you can cut it. Which head."

Chen Baisong did not refuse, and was about to leave after wiping his mouth.

Still Lin Yuan sighed and said, "Don't be so anxious, take a rest overnight and go again in the morning. People can't run away."

Only then did Chen Baisong sit back and finish the meal. His appetite is better than Lin Yuan, and he eats more than Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan now eats almost like taking medicine, and the dragon, liver, and the gallbladder can't taste the taste. Every day, he has a few bites to beat his stomach, but he is hungry and has a good figure. Every morning, he beats punches as a regimen, and he has muscles.

Chen Baisong actually didn't quite understand why Lin Yuan would ban a woman as an official, so he asked: "There is no such precedent."

It's all said outside.

Lin Yuan took his hand, let him sit next to him, and explained the reason to him.

"I'm afraid that the foundation laid down so hard is wasted." Lin Yuan sighed, "I don't expect Gaoyou to be everywhere. I just want to create more vitality for women. There is no shortage of women in Beijing. What?"

Chen Baisong understood: "There are few wives in my account."

He was not talking about personal soldiers and deputies, but ordinary soldiers.

Lin Yuan patted the back of his hand: "Learn slowly."

Chen Baisong suddenly asked: "Do you think I'm too stupid?"

He can only fight wars and can't see the twists and turns in the court.

"You are the emperor, they all listen to you."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "You are not stupid, you just don't use these things in your mind, and you don't have to understand these, I just want you to do what you want."

"As for them..." Lin Yuan's gaze suddenly became sharp. "The ministers are also human beings. They have their own selfishness and want to strive for greater benefits. Once they can't do it, there will be a second time, but these people are not useless. Yes, some are loyal to their positions. I can kill them all. Can the promoted newcomer be alone?"

Chen Baisong suddenly became angry: "Their power is given by you. They dare not listen to you? I will go tomorrow and kill all the disobedient."

Lin Yuan was amused by him: "Killing is simple, but it is not simple to rule people. This is a science. You can ask them tomorrow if you still remember who their courtiers are. If they dare to resist the decree, you can use the knife again. ."

Chen Baisong nodded, frowning, full of anger.

The eunuch outside asked the two and two guarding the door: "Brother, is this white fungus soup still sent in?"

Two and two made a straight face: "Give it to me, you step back."

The eunuch gave the white fungus soup to two and two and withdrew, the flattering smile on his face waited until he was far away.

He rolled his eyes and thought: "It's all a slave, what are you proud of? It's just luck. It's been a long time with your Majesty."

"I don't believe it, your majesty only uses you as a slave, and I don't know who is called brother in the future."

The author has something to say: Two or two: "I am the winner of life! You little fairies get out! (Д)"
