Su Maoxiang actually didn't look down on the punishment proposed by Emperor Chongzhen at all.

Even if these punishments proposed by Emperor Chongzhen are added together, the people should still be cut, and those who should be cut are still cut, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to sneak into the palace to become a eunuch, it is absolutely impossible to put an end to it.

But since Emperor Chongzhen proposed such a high punishment, it must have had some effect in the period of time when it began to be strictly enforced.

As for the future, I will talk about it later.

In fact, a program ape like Emperor Chongzhen hates eunuchs very much.

Although it is said that Zhongguancun in later generations has become a gathering place for people who have been kicked, New China has no eunuch as a great profession.

But!

In the famous traverser training base, a certain point of Chinese network, generations of eunuchs are simply endless.

The most hateful are the five eunuchs who are known as the five green, five white, five yellow and five eunuchs.

In addition, there are a large number of large and small eunuchs running rampant among them, digging pits every time they don't fill them, and even some guys with big dicks cut them when they put them on the shelves!

It can be said that a certain point is simply the Zhongguan Village in the new century, and the root of people's hated teeth is itchy.

But in the Ming Dynasty, people like eunuchs are inseparable.

After all, no matter how bad the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were, no matter how arrogant they were, they all had one thing in common, that is, they were loyal to the emperor.

Among these eunuchs, the more famous ones are Zheng He, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wang Zhi, and Wei Zhongxian.

The better Zheng He is famous through the ages, and the worse ones are like Liu Jin, Wang Zhi, and Wei Zhongxian, which one is not a note and is slaughtered.

Compared with the ten permanent servants made by the old Liu family and the eunuchs of the old Li family who deposed the emperor at every turn, the eunuchs of the old Zhu family are simply as well-behaved as cats.

But no matter how awesome the cat is, it has to kneel when it encounters a husky-like civil official.

What is the saying? In society, my brother Ha, there are a lot of dogs, I have never won a fight, and I have never lost a quarrel.

In Emperor Chongzhen's view, eunuchs are like cats, relying on the favor of their masters, and may run rampant for a while, but only Erha can live and live.

Anyway, the matter of eunuchs can only be done first, as for improving the treatment of eunuchs or something, Emperor Chongzhen said that he would not consider this matter at present.

The matter of releasing a group of palace maids outside the palace is also handled by the queen, and there is no need to bring it to the court to discuss.

As for the official ration for the guards or something, it would be good to consult with the British public afterwards.

But in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, since the ministers of the Manchu court have already received their own salaries, they should work hard, otherwise they will be sabotage.

Emperor Chongzhen, who couldn't see that his employees were lazy, simply asked: "Before, I asked the household department, the Tai Hospital, and the Jinyi Wei to join forces to verify the marriage and childbirth of women in the capital and the surrounding areas, but now there are results?" ”

When Guo Yunhou, the head of the household department, heard Emperor Chongzhen's question, he went out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent someone to check the capital and the two counties under its jurisdiction, Daxing and Wanping, and more than 20 prefectures and counties such as Changping and Liangxiang in the surrounding areas. ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen heard that Guo Yunhou had finished investigating the matter, he asked with great interest: "What is the result?" ”

Guo Yunhou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is even worse than the minister imagined.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, more than 2,300 women were married in the capital and surrounding counties, and more than 1,700 were born in the first year of Chongzhen.

Among them, more than 1,200 were married at the age of 14, more than 200 at the age of 16, more than 200 at the age of 17, most of the rest were 13 years old, and a very small number were over 18. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and said, "That means that most of them have children at the age of fifteen?" ”

Guo Yunhou's body didn't even dare to straighten up, but he then bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, that's exactly the case." Among them, more than 100 people died due to dystocia, most of whom were married at the age of 13. There are more than 1,000 people with insufficient milk, and more than 1,000 people who fall ill after giving birth.

Later, the minister went to consult the imperial doctors of the Yin Department and the Dumb Department in the Tai Hospital, and found that the situation was indeed as His Majesty said, and those who were less than 18 years old had undetermined bones, lack of qi and blood, and had a great risk of having children. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted and said: "For every nine people who are married, there is a woman under the age of eighteen who dies due to dystocia, that is, those who marry at the age of eighteen are very rare?" ”

Guo Yunhou bowed and responded, "Yes." ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I intend to change the law of the Ming Dynasty, all women under the age of eighteen are not allowed to marry, what do you think of Aiqing?" ”

Wen Tiren had long known what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to say, so he immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the minister seconded it." ”

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen thought that this was the end of the matter, after all, this is a good thing, isn't it?

It's just that Erha is Erha after all, and no one can imagine what they are thinking. But Erha's IQ will also break the seal sometimes, such as when the weather is cold.

For example, Yushi Zheng Huanwen didn't think this was a good thing, and bowed down after leaving the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is against it." ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for him to continue, Zheng Huanwen continued: "Your Majesty, the Great Ming Law is set by Emperor Taizu Gao, and it cannot be moved lightly, and this is one of them.

The people have always believed that a woman can marry after thirteen days, and if His Majesty forcibly stipulates that those under the age of 18 are not allowed to marry, this will disturb the people's government.

Third, folk women marry early, which is really a last resort. ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen still had nothing to say, Zheng Huanwen continued: "If the people have four or five children in their families, it will be difficult to raise them.

If you marry your daughter early, you can reduce a burden, so marrying a daughter early is really a last resort. ”

In the first two, Emperor Chongzhen only twitched his head again, wanting to make a name or something.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was ready to kill, didn't expect this guy to say the third reason, and he couldn't refute it.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, it is very common for a family to have several children, especially those families who can't give birth to sons.

If it is said that it was the beginning of the founding of the country in later generations, and the people with Taizu had many strength and great thoughts, especially in case that there was still enough population to restore the national strength after the world was leveled, then the idea of being able to give birth to more people and having more prizes is correct.

However, after the world is relatively peaceful without nuclear peace, there are still people who want to have more children.

Especially those who can't give birth to a son, they are even more energetic, and if they give birth to a son who is not a son, they will have another one.

The more children you have, the more pressure you put on raising children, and there is a saying that the more you give birth, the poorer you become.

This is still the case in later generations, not to mention the Ming Dynasty at this time - especially Emperor Chongzhen also made a decree, and there are rewards for those who give birth, and the government also gives a part of the child support.

With this kind of good thing, plus there is no entertainment at night, it is not enough to make a villain?

But the law of getting poorer is not only in later generations, but also in the Ming Dynasty.

When the youngest baby was born, it was broken and couldn't afford to feed it. The money given by the government is not enough.

When I was having a headache, I found that my older son could already work in the fields, and my daughter could get married—wouldn't this be the solution?

The older son goes to work in the field, and as for the daughter, after marrying, she will be a member of her mother-in-law's family, and she will no longer eat her own food, and she can exchange a bride price to relieve the pressure.

It is based on this kind of thinking that the big guy chose to marry his daughter as soon as possible.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that this could not be done.

It's no problem to marry early.,And they're all legal Lori.,If it's in the next generation.,Those single dogs who can't find a wife will definitely stick out their tongues happily.。

However, in the ancient society where medical conditions were not developed, giving birth to a child was like going to the ghost door to close the door, and the girl who married out early was a loss for Emperor Chongzhen.

If they remarry after the age of eighteen, the chance of having a child and dystocia will be much smaller, which can be seen from Guo Yunhou's statistics.

The chance of dystocia is small, and the population increases rapidly.

After the population increases, Emperor Chongzhen's taxes will be collected more, and there will be more men to fight for Emperor Chongzhen.

More people are fighting, and in an era like this, when there are more people and more power, it means more land and more taxes.

This is simply a virtuous circle, until the whole world is occupied, and there is no land that can keep up with the population growth rate of the Ming Dynasty, and then it will be a collapse.

But does Emperor Chongzhen need to think about this collapse now?

Needless to say, just the Jiannu in Liaodong, the Tartars on the grassland in the north, the monkeys in the south, and the third brother in the west, the vacated territory after these scum were cleared up was enough for the Ming Dynasty not to think about these problems before Emperor Chongzhen died.

As for the first two points raised by Zheng Huanwen, even Wang Anshi, who sent it, shouted out the words "The sky is not enough to fear, the ancestors are not enough to be afraid, the ancestors are not enough to be compassionate", and the Emperor of the Traveling Procedure Ape would not care about anything like the words of the ancestors of the heavens.

What's more, this ancestor is still Zhu Youzhen's ancestor, not necessarily his ancestor Zhu Xiaosong.

The only problem that the Ming Dynasty needs to consider now is the third point raised by Zheng Huanwen, the people are under pressure because they have too many children, and they can't afford to raise them, so they marry their daughters early.

Emperor Chongzhen still plans to make a mandatory law that you can't marry under the age of eighteen, but you can't come so simply and rudely, there must be a solution.

Although some people in later generations always said that reading countless films was still simple and rude to be exciting, this is not the case with politics.

It's not afraid of killing people's heads for the Erhas, but for the people, it's better to be cautious about this kind of thing - it's these people who can really change the dynasty.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's gaze was on him again, Wen Tiren obviously felt a lot of pressure.

Just now, he jumped out and approved of Emperor Chongzhen first, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face by an imperial history.

And it seems that Emperor Chongzhen also thinks that this imperial historian has played well and beautifully-why don't you throw the pot to yourself now and let yourself come up with a solution.

Wen Tiren pondered for a long time and then bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be rewarded and punished.

If a woman marries at the age of eighteen, she may be given a certain reward, but if she is under the age of eighteen, she shall be punished with a certain amount.

In addition, public opinion needs to be guided to make them aware of the dangers of women marrying before the age of 18. ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted.

Wen Tiren's proposal is indeed a solution.

But the punishment is easy to do, how to reward the reward? If you have a false name, you don't have a fart, but the reward is real. But who pays for it?

Is it from the treasury or from the interior? The money in the treasury is Ming's, and the money in the treasury is its own.

After thinking about it, based on the idea that Da Ming also had his own, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "In this case, anyone who marries at the age of eighteen will be given a certain reward by the local government, and the specific reward will be discussed by the cabinet and the good students of the household department and then reported to me to know."

As for the punishment, if a woman marries under the age of eighteen, the penalty shall be counted as two.

In addition, local governments also need to do a good job of guiding the people to know the harm of premature marriage and childbearing. After all, if you are a parent, you must feel sorry for your daughter. ”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen added another sentence: "Wang Chengen, the proposed edict, all women in the clan, who are under the age of eighteen, are not allowed to marry, and those who violate the law will be deprived of their women's titles and fined 10,000 gold."

If a woman marries under the age of eighteen, she will be fined a thousand gold and demoted to one degree. ”

Emperor Chongzhen remembered such a story.

It is said that someone wants to promote some crops, but the people are not willing to plant them.

The clever county magistrate gave the crop to the officials to protect it, and preached that whoever stole it would be punished heavily, but the officials sent to protect the crops did not fulfill their responsibilities, so that the people always found an opportunity to steal the seeds.

The final result achieved the desired result of the county order, it was useless to promote it to the people, but the effect of letting the people steal was unexpected.

Chongzhen's gameplay is basically a makeover of the practice of this county order.

Once the people found out that the upper-class clans began to formulate such a rule that a woman must be eighteen years old before she could marry, some people would spontaneously follow out of curiosity.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's will came out, the nobles of the Manchu Dynasty all felt a pain in their crotch.

This is the real city gate fire that affected the pond fish.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to change the age of civil marriage, but his own people were also unlucky, and many of them had already written the marriage date, so they had to change it.

Fortunately, with the will of Emperor Chongzhen, even if the wedding date is changed, there will probably be no problems.

Emperor Chongzhen's temperament of pretending to run away was once again fully revealed - after most of the problems were solved, Emperor Chongzhen ran to the Royal Academy again.
