Chapter 179: Yin Ti's Suggestion
In the end, the emperor ruled: "Since both sides have moved, and the person who killed someone by mistake also pleads guilty to the law, this matter will be easy to do, and degrade Wu Zuidie's official, that is, punish him for his lack of strict self-discipline, as for the wife, the husband and wife are one, and the punishment is the same." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Yin Shan and the others said together: Your Majesty Shengming!
Tuo Tuoyu was not satisfied, and said: "Since the Dali Temple Chengyin Youxi knows that the bitter master is suing his sister and brother-in-law, but he doesn't know how to avoid taboos, he handed over the case to other officials for trial, this is an official impropriety, Lord Xiangfei, what do you say?" ”
Tokhtoxiang Fei hurriedly knelt down, "Yes, the Queen Mother, the old minister thinks that this matter does not seem to be big, but the impact is extremely bad, and the officials are so protective of each other, even if the people are wronged, they have no way to declare, and over time, the people's hearts will be lost!" ”
"Then ask him to go to the Ministry of Rites with Wu Zuidie to report it."
This is the first time that she didn't ask the emperor what she meant, and she made her own opinion, but she was the queen mother and the political envoy, and no one could say a word.
Yin Shan gritted his teeth with hatred, but he was helpless.
Li Qinglian had already considered with Liufeng on the side, and drafted the holy decree of the Fat River Prefecture Thorn Shi Wu Drunken Butterfly and the official Dali Temple Cheng Yin Youxi to demote the official.
Liufeng asked again: "Your Majesty, the appointment of the host side cannot be delayed any longer, only the Lantern Festival San recommended by Lord Dongcheng for the post of Imperial Observation Envoy of the Eastern Army in this town still survives, why don't you also plan this will together with Lord Qiu Qiu of the Ministry of Departure and take office on the third day of the Lantern Festival?" ”
The emperor looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "If the Chongzheng Yuan and the Xuanhui Yuan have no objections, so be it." ”
Yin Shan didn't agree, and the emperor just made the decision to save Wu Zuidie and his wife.
At this time, everyone said: Your Majesty Shengming!
This time, Li lightly took pity on the big pen, and the three holy decrees were waved away, and the wind showed the emperor to cover the jade seal, and sent it out in a hurry.
Although Yin Shan hates Zheng Qi for many things, he knows that there are people behind him, so he hates himself even more for these children who are not angry, just like the emperor said, it is not a good thing to have more children at all, and being caught by others is as easy as eating and drinking, but it can be seen that people take off their faces, there is no son, only one daughter, and she is quite capable of doing things.
He lost a game, and he always had to get it back, and he glanced at his cousin Tobe Shangshuyin.
Yin Ti stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has this book." ”
"Speak."
"Your Majesty, regarding this matter, the minister has already handed over the fold, but maybe there are too many folds every day, and you haven't approved it yet?"
"Then you can just tell me about it."
"Yes, as Your Majesty knows, last year Jinliang Kingdom from east to west, the plague epidemic, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of households in various states and counties, this population has decreased, the annual tax can only be increased by household, otherwise the household department can not complete the amount of tax money stipulated by the imperial court, but such a heavy tax after all makes the people overburdened, livelihood is difficult, complaining, the tax officials of the states and counties under the minister are tired to death, and this year can only complete half of the quota, so the minister of the household department is scolded by the people and does not even dare to go out, in the long run, it is not a way."
Zun said: "Go on." ”
"The minister wants Jinliang to go further to the northwest, the more sparsely populated it is, and if you want the treasury to be full, you must think of ways to increase the population, and the more the population increases, the tax will go up."
"Increasing the population? Where can this be done in a short period of time? ”
"A large number of aborigines from the Calamus Sea in the far west can be relocated to the interior, because the fishermen who used to rely on the sea for food are facing the dilemma of the sea drying up year by year. Their internal relocation can turn large areas of idle wasteland in the northwest into fertile land. ”
Zun asked, "Why didn't the first emperor implement it?" ”
Yin Ti didn't expect the emperor to ask such a question, so he smiled and said: "That's because in the area of Calamus Sea, in addition to living on the sea, the local nobles also generally raise Kunlun slaves who have come from the Western Regions for profit, and those house slaves with short curls and black skin have been trafficked to more than a dozen countries. In order to show goodwill with the first emperor, there were black beauties in the old tribute, and the first emperor didn't like women, and when he saw those women, he was very disgusted. And it is said that the assassins in the Iron Gate Pass are also on the table, fearing that there are too many such people, which will endanger local security, so the matter of relocating people to the interior is stopped. ”
"As long as intermarriage is not allowed, there is no problem, right?"
"Your Majesty! Those black people look uncomfortable, but in fact they are simple and kind, loyal to the head of the family, and rarely commit adultery. ”
"Then let's move, as a magistrate, I would have tried my best to restore the population to increase taxes as the top priority, if even a few Kunlun slaves were afraid, those assassins and county orders would be done, Xu Xian, this matter is done by your officials and the Ministry of Households, send inspectors to the imperial history in the past, supervise the proper resettlement of the relocated people, and if there are states and counties that cannot be suppressed or maliciously excluded, the list of their officials will be reported to the Ministry of Officials for year-end deliberation and dismissal as appropriate!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Xian glanced at his rival, stood up and bowed down to take a seat.
Yin Ti continued: "Your Majesty, this method can solve the urgent need. ”
"Hmm."
"In recent months, His Majesty asked the ministers to sort out the number of households, and the ministers found that after the great plague last year, the number of widows who died of their husbands was very considerable, coupled with the fact that the first emperor was poor in military force and wars, and the number of widows who had accumulated over the years reached 300,000, which was rare in the past dynasties of the Jinliang Kingdom, and on the other hand, there were a large number of poor villagers, because they could not afford to marry a huge dowry, so they had to beat the singles, so the minister proposed to vigorously advocate the widow to remarry, because the widow almost did not need any dowry, and those poor children did not care whether the woman was Jiao again, In this way, in less than five years, these married families will increase the population of Jinliang Country by a large number, and at the same time, it will also be beneficial to people's peace of mind. ”
This seemingly ridiculous suggestion was in the first emperor's dynasty, the courtiers never dared to mention it, the first emperor advocated that women marry and obey their husbands, and their husbands die from their sons, and the "son" is actually the head of the husband's family, just imagine, how can the husband's family be willing to remarry the widow? And Xizong himself is extremely heavy on the etiquette and morality, once he touches the taboo, he will be convicted and imprisoned, and at worst he will be beheaded all over the house, and even the nine clans.
Zun thought for a moment and praised: "I see that the six departments are doing well in the household department, and this matter is also very good!" ”
Yin Ti didn't expect that this young emperor would actually agree to his suggestion, and he was as happy as eating a big cup of fruit ice drink in the scorching heat of June.
While being happy, he made a bitter face: "But Your Majesty, this is not easy!" ”
Why?
Yin explained: "Because from the Jin Liang founding of the country, respect Taoism, Confucian etiquette is strict, widowed women are proud of chastity, you only look at the annual Ministry of Rites issued how many chastity arches to know, this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the inner court of the foreign women is their example of worship, so it is also a very difficult thing to persuade widows to remarry, especially so that the elders of the family scold not to abide by the women's way is even more retreating." ”
Zun said: "Okay, I decreed that this year, the Ministry of Rites will no longer commend chastity martyrs, when I was in Suoyang, I heard that the chastity archway can be bought as long as it costs money, and it sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, how many people are real?" It is better for the Ministry of Rites to take out some rice cloth to reward families with more children, just like King Qi gave birth to more than fifteen. ”
Yin Shan spat at his emperor's son-in-law: "Your Majesty will bring the old minister with you when you say it, be careful that your aunt doesn't follow it!" ”
King Qi laughed: "This is a good thing!" My uncle set a good example. (To be continued) (To be continued.) )
