"!" Cui Xiuning's eyes widened, and there was a big question mark on her face, "Thirty-six concubines? Isn't it too much? The emperor has thirty-six concubines, so many wives and children are distracted, and they still have the heart to govern the country? ”

Li Luo spread his hands, "It's not thirty-six concubines, it's even what kind of talent and beauty he is, what he promised, it adds up to thirty-six." ”

"That's not going to work, it's too much." Cui Xiuning shook her head, "Zheng'er's dozens of wives, how much will it be affected?" You don't feel distressed when you are a father, but I still feel distressed when I am a mother. ”

"I'll go." Li Luo smiled deliberately, "His father is bitter, can't he let my son marry more and make up for it?" ”

"Damn..."When the woman heard this, she immediately pounced on it reluctantly, and twisted with the man, "Sister, a good cabbage was arched by you, you are still not happy, right, you have been wronged..."

The man grabbed her hand, "Don't scratch, don't scratch, I'm afraid of this." Well, then eighteen? The ancient emperor's ritual system is eighty-one women! ”

The woman straightened her temples, "Eighteen is enough." However, it must also be that there can only be a maximum of eighteen women in a lifetime, regardless of the rank. The king of the future generations can only be less and not exceeding, and must be written in the law. The monarch has no restraint on the word sex, and the negative impact is too great. ”

"In the prince's life, the maximum number of concubines is eight, the maximum number of county kings is six, the maximum number of dukes is four, the earl is three, the viscount and the baron are two, and the dragon forbidden captain and the cloud knight captain are one, if the wife and concubine of a cloud knight are both dead, and there is a son, then I'm sorry, he has no wife and can't marry again."

"Like officials, a maximum of four concubines are accumulated... Six products and seven products one. Officials below the seventh grade, no! In the same way, if all the wives and concubines are dead, and there are sons here, they can no longer marry, and they must be beaten as singles. Unless you get promoted? You can only remarry after adding one place. ”

What Cui Xiuning doesn't know is that the dynasties and dynasties? Commoners can't take concubines in the first place? It's not a Datang New Deal.

Li Luo was surprised: "The number is no problem, but it is a cumulative number." Then whose wives and concubines are dead? Are you going to beat a single? Isn't it too ruthless? ”

"Ruthless?" Cui Xiuning sneered, "Your Majesty? Do you know the ratio of men to women in Datang? Is it about 150 to 100? It's much higher than the 100 and 120 in later generations! You don't know the situation of the marriage market in the future? Men with poor economic conditions? I can't find my daughter-in-law. Now it's more serious! “

"Many people say that women in later generations have all kinds of women's boxing, but they don't get to the point. The real reason is that there is an imbalance in proportion, there are more men than women, and women are financially independent. ”

"I'm afraid you're anxious? Didn't tell you about this emperor? How many men in the world don't have wives! That data will scare you. It's all like this, isn't it ruthless? So many low-level men don't have wives to marry, why can officials have three wives and four concubines as they like? ”

"I know that you feel sorry for your heroes, afraid that they will say that the emperor is not kind? But feudal officials really don't deserve sympathy. We can never really regard them as our own people, real our own people? It's just me and you. ”

"If you don't. If the number of concubines is full for an official, and he wants to recruit new ones, will he let the concubine die without illness? In this day and age, murdering a person is really too simple and too difficult to prove. In history, there are many people who killed their wives in order to help their concubines ascend to the throne. If this restriction is not added, many people will harm the old in order to admit new people. ”

"If an official's wife and concubine are dead, then he deserves to be beaten as a bachelor. Moreover, I am talking about not being able to marry again if you have a son, and you can still marry if you don't have a son. He can't even kill his own son, can he? ”

Li Luo smiled bitterly, "You are judging people's hearts with the worst possible possibility." ”

Cui Xiuning said: "Whether a decree is good or bad cannot be seen on the surface. Your decree clearly restricts officials from taking concubines, but it induces their motives to kill! Or, induce them to deal with the motivation of 'trouble'. ”

"For example, if there is a social demand, there will be a black industry, which specializes in helping officials deal with the concubines who are tired of playing, and there are many ways, such as casually stealing a man, 'committing suicide in shame', or 'eloping and disappearing' and so on. So, this number must be cumulative for life. ”

Li Luo nodded, "That's a lifetime accumulation." In addition, the number of concubines is combined with the evaluation of officials, and officials who have used up all the concubines cannot be given excellent evaluations. Under the same conditions, officials who do not take concubines are given priority. ”

"Only officials who do not have concubines can be crowned three dukes, three orphans, three divisions, and three young men. Otherwise, you will be a famous minister, and don't expect to retire with the titles of Taishi and Taifu. The same goes for military attachés, who take concubines, don't think about getting Taibao Shaobao when they become a captain. ”

"Concubines should also be managed by Taoism, and the concubines should be linked to lust and yin and yang, don't use any excuse to inherit the lineage, the country does not need to give birth to so many second generations of officials, and would rather have more farmers and craftsmen."

In addition, concubines must also be registered as marriages, and the state must also recognize them. Those who take concubines without permission will be punished for exceeding the system, dismissed from office, seized office and imprisoned, and removed from the status of scribes, warriors, lishi, and Taoists. If you keep more than 10 women without permission, you will be punished for rebellion! ”

Cui Xining's expression was a little strange, "Why is it a rebellion again?" "She was ruthless just now, but now Li Luo is even more ruthless.

"Why isn't it a rebellion?" Li Luo said, "Datang will not suppress commerce, and many wealthy people will be born in the future, but it will be difficult to completely improve the ratio of men and women in decades." Those rich people privately raise a large number of women outside of marriage, and social contradictions will be more intensified. It will inspire bachelors to rebel, and the 'singles revolution' of the Song Dynasty will be repeated. ”

Therefore, those who privately raise more than 10 women are prompting rebellion and should be sentenced to death. Keeping one privately is overstepping! ”

Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "In that case, will it make false accusations prevalent?" Just find a group of women to identify them, and say that the other party will support them, and then they can destroy other people's families. ”

"False accusations are rife?" Li Luo sneered, "Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone who died because of harshness, that is, the Qin of the Legalists, and it is not really because of severe punishment and strict law, because there are many people who have lost the country because of leniency." Tell me, throughout the ages, which country has perished because of severe punishment and law? ”

Cui Xiuning thought about it, but he really couldn't remember that he died because of the severe punishment and the law.

Li Luo said: "There must be many flaws in false accusations, and once the false accusations against others are confirmed, it is also a dead end, and the woman who assisted in the false accusation will also die." How many people dare to take such a big risk of falsely accusing others of rebellion? ”

"Overkill is needed now! Severe punishment is needed! In later generations, Europe and the United States triggered the law at every turn, and they did not see others lose their country. ”

"I, Li Luo, am not afraid of being scolded by the rich officials, since I am the emperor, I can only give priority to the interests of the people at the bottom. The life or death of the rich officials in later generations is my business. I'd rather they scold me for hundreds of years than more people can't get wives! ”

"Hmph, there is no dynasty that does not perish. But history will give me a notarized evaluation of Li Luo! At least I'm not a dumbfounder! ”

Cui Xiuning hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you are not a faint king." So be it, and the matter will be revealed. Let's talk about the rest. ”

Li Luo turned the page of the concubine, "There is also the fact that the treatment of the clan has not yet been decided." You see, the treatment of the clan is nothing more than a mansion, a sealed field, and a fortune. ”

"That's what I think, all titles are abolished and all are changed to wages and land. The prince sealed 30,000 acres of land, with an annual income of 30,000 yuan; 20,000 acres of county kings, 20,000 yuan; Guogong is Tian and Yulu are both 12,000; Decrease by 1,000 for each drop. To the lowest cloud cavalry lieutenant, it is a thousand acres of land and a thousand silver dollars. ”

"If the prince's family is demoted to the king of the county, it will reduce 10,000 acres of land. And so on. Always control the state's spending on the aristocratic courts. 20,000 princesses, 12,000 county lords, 6,000 county lords, 3,000 county lords, 2,000 county lords, 1,000 township lords, 800 township monarchs, 500 pavilion lords, and 300 pavilion monarchs. ”

"The salary of officials is set as follows: 10,000 yuan for one product, 8,000 yuan for the first product, 6,000 for the second product, 5,000 for the second product, and 3,000 for the third product...... Seven products and five hundred... From ten products twelve dollars. ”

Cui Xiuning listened to Li Luo's words while settling the accounts against the list of statistics, and quickly calculated the result: "The cost of the title is currently 970,000 yuan per year, less than 1 million. plus Li Yuan and Yang Hanming's Yulu, just one million. ”

"According to the new regulations, the official's salary will probably cost more than 11 million yuan. Well, that's pretty good. I think this level of salary is very reasonable. ”

"Together with military spending, all expenditures totaled more than 36 million silver dollars, which is more than the total revenue of the state treasury at present. We are too great, and we use private money to subsidize the country. However, by next year, the treasury revenues will at least double. ”

Li Luo smiled: "We are much stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's Yulu to the first-grade official is 87 stone of grain per year, which is too picky, can you blame the officials for corruption? Our first-class officer is 10,000 silver dollars! ”

Cui Xiuning also said: "A high salary may not necessarily support integrity, but a low salary must lead to greed." Zhu Yuanzhang's price is too low. ”

…………

The next day, the emperor issued a decree on the treatment of noble officials of the clan and the regulations on concubines.

Commoners can't take concubines in the first place, and if they can marry a wife, not every man can do it, let alone take a concubine.

The Holy Decree is clear. The Son of Heaven said that there are more men and fewer women in the world, and it is not easy for people to marry wives. It is to restrain the concubine...... In order to make the people less homeless men.

In the eyes of the people, this is what the Holy Monarch did! The harsher the criminal law on the unauthorized taking of concubines, the more it is committed by the Holy Monarch.

Older people know that in the Zhao and Song dynasties, it was common for large families to take concubines, but people with a lot of wealth and land all competed for concubines, so that "wives and concubines are in groups, and they are not tired of being satisfied, and they compete with each other for more or less."

It means that rich and powerful people are all wives and concubines, competing with each other for the number of concubines, and it is a trend to compare with each other. This makes it more difficult for Xiaomin to marry a wife.

But although the Zhao official family issued an edict prohibiting the rich from taking concubines in violation of the law, it was not painful or itchy, and there was no severe punishment according to the law, which was of no help at all. In contrast, the saints today are much more holy.

If you take more than one concubine without permission, you will go to prison, and if you take more than ten concubines, you will be a rebellion!

And the Tang court officials, the vast majority of them are from poor backgrounds, and now they have not been officials for a long time, they are generally relatively young, and they have not yet reached the point of pleasure, many people have not yet started a family, and they have no wives, where can they take care of concubines?

And His Majesty encourages not to accept concubines, and he does not accept concubines himself, thinking that he is an example for the world. The Son of Heaven himself does this, can't the courtiers do it?

Therefore, this decree did not cause much splash. But it has a great impact on future generations.

However, the Son of Heaven stipulated that the king of later generations could only have eighteen women in his life, saying that he was afraid that the king of later generations would be too happy to enjoy himself, but this move still moved the subjects.

The most depressed are those rich merchants who want to take concubines and gentry who do not have the status of Tang Chen.

They have money and can afford to support a lot of women, but when a holy decree comes, they can't.

Even, secretly taking a concubine, once it is reported, it will be over!

The decree also said that the concubine had the right to inherit the inheritance, and the children of the concubine could also participate in the division of the inheritance. Is this still worth it? In this way, they take more concubines, and after death, everyone will become smaller, so can they still become big?

This is a poisonous ploy to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Hongwu, Hongwu, you are such a tyrant.

These people hate Li Luo and Tang Ting!

Although the hearts of the vast majority of the people are in Li Luo, there are still a handful of people who hate Li Luo to the core.

The Tang Dynasty's policies such as the Juntian Order, the reform of the land and the return of the land, the village office, the grain monopoly, and the prohibition of usury cut off their financial routes and destroyed their power.

However, they had no power to resist.

No!

Tang Ting was ruthless and told them with severe punishments: If you resist the imperial court, you will die.

However, the secret anti-Tang movement slowly brewed and began to merge. Li Luo's edict this time accelerated the speed of the convergence of anti-Tang forces.

Gradually, in order to win more support, the slogan of the anti-Tang forces also came out: anti-Tang and Song Dynasty.

"Teacher, this is their slogan, anti-Tang and Song." In the Longzhang Palace, Li Zhi handed over a piece of information to Cui Xiuning.

"The slogans of the chaotic parties in various places are not the same, there are those who oppose the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, those who oppose the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, and those who cut plums and plant seedlings, but the most powerful is the anti-Tang and Song Dynasty."

After reading the information, the corners of Cui Xiuning's mouth couldn't help but bend into a good-looking arc.

Hehe, these people, it's kind of interesting.

Still not giving up?

Okay, very.

"What about the Special Investigation's response?" Cui Xiuning asked lightly.

Li Zhi said: "Teacher Yu, the response of the Special Investigation Bureau is to put a long line, not to catch big fish, but to raise big fish." Let them toss, and when the time comes, they will all be wiped out, and all the chaotic parties will be dug out and killed. The relevant undercover agents have all been arranged. ”

Cui Xiuning is not surprised, this is the style of the Special Investigation Bureau.

"Then do as you please. Remember, though, the discipline within the Secret Inspectorate! ”

"No!" Li Zhi's expression was solemn, "Teacher, the meaning of the Gendarmerie Department is to arrest as soon as possible, so as not to give those chaotic parties a chance to become bigger, and the students are afraid that the Gendarmerie Department will startle the snake." ”

In fact, the Gendarmerie Department is also a special agency, but it is not as specialized as the Special Investigation Bureau, and it focuses more on investigation and public security than the Special Investigation Bureau. General Sixian Dingo, who is also a general in the army, is not as "insidious" as the Special Investigation Bureau.

Cui Xiuning glanced at Li Zhi, "You do your thing." The gendarmes, I will order them to cooperate. ”

"Mr. Xie. But the police department..."Li Zhi looked embarrassed.

Cui Xiuning frowned, "What's wrong with the police department?" ”

Li Zhidao: "The detectives of the police department have also found some information, and the bronze of the Yushitai has also received a report. Li Yang and Gao Lang in the Imperial History are both from the Special Investigation Bureau, and of course the Imperial Historical Observatory will not interfere. But the police department will definitely intervene, and the students are afraid that the police department will suddenly order the arrest of people and ruin the steps of the special investigation bureau. ”

The police officers and the backbone of the spy are all students of Cui Xiuning. But there are completely two systems, the two departments are at the same level, and the police department belongs to a military organization, so of course it will not look at the face of the special investigation bureau. If you find a big case, why don't you care?

"Okay. These underground rebels, let the police department assist you. I'll give the order to the police department. Cui Xiuning still believes in a more professional special inspection bureau in business.

After all, these people are underground rebels, and it is better to use the Special Investigation Bureau. Intelligence shows that the hidden forces of these people are not small, some collude with Hai Song, some collude with Meng Yuan, and it is not a simple matter of grasping a few backbones to solve it once and for all.

When Li Zhi left, Cui Xiuning immediately issued two secret orders to the Military Police Department and the Police Department, asking them to leave the case alone, but if necessary, to assist in arresting people.

The gendarmerie and the police department were both set up by Cui Xiuning, and of course he did not dare to slack off when he received a secret order.

After Li Luo learned the news, he smiled and said, "This is Kublai Khan's fifth card?" Not bad. Okay, let's play with him. Hehe, interesting, anti-Yuan and Song. ”

It's funny to think about.

Kublai Khan, who destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, sent spies to lurk in the south, organized and contacted anti-Tang forces, and engaged in "anti-Tang and Song Dynasty", isn't it funny?

However, this matter cannot be sloppy. Because the intelligence shows that Meng Yuan intends to join hands with Hai Song to turn hostility into friendship. It is not impossible for the monarchs and ministers of the Hai Song Dynasty to agree to unite the Yuan court.

"Their plan is not clear yet, but the power in the shadows will not be small. I guess our generals will be put to the test. Some people will find them and try to win them over. Cui Xiuning said.

Li Luo said: "What about the Special Investigation Bureau?" The Secret Service is a secret agency, and many people are unaware of its existence. But the question is, what about the inside of the Special Investigation? Is it possible that a traitor could appear? ”

Cui Xiuning shook his head, "The backbone of the Special Investigation Bureau are all my students, and I carefully underwent personality tests and tests before accepting them as students." Their betrayal is likely to be minimal. And they want money, power, official positions and titles, what is not satisfied? ”

"In addition, there are club organizations within the Special Investigation Bureau, and there is also a mechanism to prevent individual mutiny, so it is difficult for traitors to appear."

Li Luo nodded, "Then I don't care." As long as it is not like the Manchu Jiaqing, it was killed into the Forbidden City by a group of anti-Qing forces. ”

Jiaqing is really embarrassing. A large number of anti-Qing forces actually infiltrated the palace and fought fiercely in the middle of the night, almost killing him.

At this moment, a guard came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Secretary of the General Administration reported that there is a Taoist priest named Zhang Sanfeng, who said that he was an old man of His Majesty and wanted to meet His Majesty." ”

What the?

Li Luo immediately ordered: "Please come in Zhang Sanfeng, he is indeed my old man." ”

At this time, Zhang Sanfeng was really standing outside the imperial city, looking at the city gate, and his heart was extremely emotional.

He did see that Li Luo was extraordinary and a great anomaly, but he didn't expect Li Luo to be the Son of Heaven!

The wonder of this man-made transformation and the speed of its rise are really rare through the ages, and it is more magical than Henkel and Guangwu.

Unexpectedly, Li Tang has been destroyed for hundreds of years, and he can still bloom twice!

Zhang Sanfeng came to Gangneung a few days ago. But he did not immediately meet the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, but went to various Taoist palaces and temples.

Soon he had an understanding of Li Tang's Taoism.

This is not the Taoism of the past!

Or rather, plausible!

But in essence, it is indeed Taoism, and even more understanding of Taoism than the previous Taoism.

The more Zhang Sanfeng studied, the more frightened he became, especially after reading Zheng Sixiao's "Theory of the Great Dao", he was even more surprised.

The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, is it as simple as respecting Taoism? He wants to use the true meaning of the Tao to enlighten people's hearts, unite all people, educate the world, and unify the doctrine! (Thoughts)

This is a more ambitious cause than Emperor Wu's "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism"!

Zhang Sanfeng was really surprised and happy when he got this. I was shocked that such a difficult event, the emperor was doing it quietly, and the happy thing is that this is an unprecedented opportunity for Taoism!

Several purple-armored guards came out of the imperial city, looking at Zhang Sanfeng, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and had a fairy wind and bones, "The Taoist is Zhang Zhenren?" Your Majesty, please. ”

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the poor way is polite, please lead the way." Zhang Sanfeng is a master, and his appearance is indeed very true to the dust, which is very different from Huang Daopo.

Soon, Zhang Sanfeng, who had been inspected by several palace gates, came to Longzhang Palace.

"Haha, Zhang Zhenren, don't come to harm's okay?" As soon as Li Luo saw this Taoist priest, he couldn't help but be happy.

Zhang Sanfeng couldn't hold back his excited look, and said with a smile: "Looking back on a few years, it is like a hundred years of body, in an instant, the family Songhai Cangtian, Tianji incense like crossing the river." Poor Dao has seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! ”
