Chapter 257: Disaster Relief Draft?

For the refugees who flowed into Shandong, Sun Yuanhua was very surprised when he got the news.

It turned out that there was not much hope for persuasion, but the result was unexpected, and I heard that the personal donation of the Marquis of the Four Seas was more fierce than the official.

As soon as his curiosity rose, Sun Yuanhua decided to quietly observe one or two.

When he and his party walked to Zhu Zilong's fiefdom. Looking at everything around me, it still looks very busy, but it's just busy and not chaotic.

The road is lined with farmland, and it doesn't rain a few drops after the beginning of spring, but the wheat fields are full of people watering the fields. There is no water source here!

When he saw black smoke rising from the tall chimney from a distance, Sun Yuanhua knew that it was a mining area that Zhu Zilong was said to be building after taking in the refugees. Looking at the appearance that hundreds of acres of land can't be knocked down, fortunately, there are some saline-alkali wasteland, and there is no crop land nearby. The wall is high, and there is a sentry at the gate, and when you approach, you will be stopped.

"Stop, what are you doing, do you have any documents?"

"Bold, don't kneel yet? This is it! Sun Yuanhua's entourage stepped forward to scold, and was about to tell Sun Yuanhua's identity, but Sun Yuanhua stopped him.

The guard of the mining area obviously guessed that this must be an official, and after a little hesitation, he stiffened his neck and replied: "I'm sorry, this lord, this realm is under the management of the Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas, and no outsider is allowed to enter without relevant documents." Please come back, sir. ”

Sun Yuanhua had the heart to observe more, so he turned around.

When I walked to the wharf of the guard house managed by Zhu Zilong, I saw a sea of people on the wharf, fishing and transporting goods.

The drill of the navy is simply a child's play with the order of the sea ban.

However, thinking about Zhu Zilong, he has the right to train the water master cheaply, even if he says no, it is estimated that it is useless, so Sun Yuanhua has to admit it.

After watching it all day, Sun Yuanhua returned home with a tangled mood.

If someone else learns from Zhu Zilong, he will have to say that he is plotting against him and buying people's hearts. The consequences are unimaginable!

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty had a natural defensive mentality towards military attachés, which was a historical lesson left after the rebellion of the feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Song and Ming dynasties were overkill.

It's just that, considering that Zhu Zilong is really a favor now, the emperor even gave the gold medal monk Fang Sword and the right to be cheap.

This kind of thing without evidence, it is estimated that it is useless even if you go to the book yourself.

In the end, he had to do it.

If you want to say that let the officials go, you shouldn't be this up-and-coming bird.

At the same time, in Zhujiazhuang.

"How many more refugees will come to Shandong?" When Zhu Zilong came out of the study, he stopped the housekeepers who came forward.

The answer is that it is estimated that more than 100,000 people will enter Shandong again.

Zhu Zilong fell into thought, for the sake of the demographic dividend, anyway, what he had in his hand was money, so he deliberately collected all these refugees.

Thinking that the Ming Dynasty is still a farming-based society after all, it is obvious that more and more people should be resettled, and land is the top priority.

Zhu Zilong asked again how much wasteland was available, and then learned that there were only about tens of thousands of acres. He shook his head and said, "Immediately arrange for people to buy land everywhere, there is less land now." Don't keep any money in your hand, but scatter it quickly. Buy land! Buy it even if it's expensive. If you don't rush to farm after buying it, it is not a problem to abandon it for half a year. The key is to repair water conservancy first! ”

"Master, understood, we know what to do." The stewards nodded in reply.

Just when Zhu Zilong's body was buying land and collecting some of the displaced people.

His emperor doppelganger, when he recently wore it to deal with state affairs, did not relax.

In addition to intensively handling various state affairs to make things better, Zhu Zilong's emperor clone also thought of many crooked ways when he was worried about corrupt officials and indifferent human lives.

Say, one of them.

That is Zhu Zilong's decision to arrange the entry of the draft girl into the palace in advance.

In the 21st century of New China, Women's Day is March 8. But in the Ming Dynasty, it was different, the day of the draft girl was Women's Day!

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did something that had a great relationship with the women of the Ming Dynasty, especially the women of the "first family": he ordered the Confucian student Zhu Sheng to compile the "Female Commandment" and publish it for national distribution.

Since then, the book "Female Commandments" has become the basic judgment of women in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the same set of standards has been implemented by both the court and the people.

The selection of concubines by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty was the most deeply rooted among the masses in the feudal dynasties of China, because Zhu Yuanzhang set the tone from the beginning - all the sons of heaven, after the princes, concubines, palace concubines, carefully select the daughters of good families for them, and those who enter will be accepted.

Translated into the vernacular, it is: the wife of the emperor and the prince, whether it is the queen of the main house or the concubine of the partial house, must go through a strict selection process, and give priority to the "daughter of a good family", that is, the woman of the common people's family.

As for those who take the initiative to "offer beauties" to the royal family, they will not be accepted. And this tone has been implemented by the entire Ming Dynasty from beginning to end.

That is to say, in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to be a queen or queen, as well as an imperial concubine or the like, the more general your family background, the more likely it is.

It is proper to give the poor silk women of the Ming Dynasty a chance for sparrows to become phoenixes. You say, can this not become Women's Day?

At this time, Zhu Zilong even issued an order to let the location of the palace maid be selected in the affected provinces.

The subtext is obvious, that is, anyway, Daming has always had many men and girls, rich people have dozens of wives, and the poor can still find many women as wives.

However, in order to avoid the disaster area, many women died in natural disasters, and it is better to be dragged into the palace. Even if most of them can't be mothers, they can survive with only a few.

The palace includes food and housing, work, and five insurances and one housing fund. Oh, well, let's talk about it, there are no five insurances and one housing fund.

In addition to not covering their husbands, the women worked here for a few years until the natural disaster passed. Zhu Zilong can release batches of palace maids out of the palace according to batches and times.

The palace maid who has earned a salary for several years is exactly 20 years old or in her 20s, and I believe that it is still possible to marry a good family in the people.

Well, sure enough, the emperor is different from everyone else.

Zhu Zilong's body is rescued together regardless of men, women and children, and the emperor's clone only rescues women, and it is only beautiful.

It always feels like something is wrong there!

Soon, the civil and military officials and people in the palace who got the will of Zhu Zilong, the copycat emperor, took action.

The system of selecting court ladies in the Ming Dynasty, like the imperial examination, had a set of strict rules. The female who enters the palace should be over 13 years old. In addition, the large-scale selection activities of the Ming Palace have their norms, and there is even a probationary period for entering the palace to become a concubine.

The inner supervisor and Wen Po can be said to be the first judges of the palace maid draft. Only women between the ages of 13 and 16 who are not doctors, non-witches, non-businessmen and non-workers are eligible for the draft. The Ming Dynasty court maid draft process was very complicated. In today's terms, you almost have to go through the audition, interview, preliminary examination, re-examination, probation and other processes before you can enter the palace.

However, at Zhu Zilong's strong request, the age requirement was widened this time.

Women from 13 to 35 years old can participate this time, and the focus is on women from the disaster area.

Beautiful name day, disaster relief draft!

In the original history, "the number of palace maids in the Ming Dynasty reached 9,000, and the internal prison was 100,000"!

Look, this male and female ratio is out of balance, there are 100,000 eunuchs in the palace, and there are less than 10,000 palace maids.

And now Zhu Zilong, his emperor doppelganger because he confiscated several princes' family properties in advance, and also destroyed the nine thousand years old, and by the way, his family property was also nationalized.

Therefore, the current Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Zilong's doppelganger.

The treasury can be said to have enough silver, but natural disasters have caused the price of grain to rise, and the purchasing power has decreased.

After all, silver cannot be eaten as food, and in the end it must be exchanged for food. So having food is fundamental!

Now in the face of natural disasters, the money in this treasury cannot be obtained by itself anyway. Zhu Zilong had long seen that the eunuchs were not pleasing to the eye, and he was not ready to add any new eunuchs from now on.

gave a group of older eunuchs a settling-in fee and let them go out of the palace.

There are many vacant positions, and Zhu Zilong plans to let the palace maids of the draft take their place.

When did the ratio of eunuchs and palace maids reverse. There are 100,000 palace maids and 40,000 or 50,000 eunuchs, so they can almost stop.

It's just that this will not make the emperor's reputation not very good, and he will end up with an evaluation that only loves beauties and indulges in wine.

Zhu Zilong just wants to say, anyway, it's just a doppelganger, whatever you like.

Besides, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't have a good reputation in this regard, so how bad could he be?

For example, Ming Wuzong patrolled Yangzhou, and the eunuch Wu Jing was ordered to go to Yangzhou to search for beauties everywhere, and forcibly snatched women in the middle of the night, even beautiful widows were not spared.

Ordinary women enter the Ming Palace, which is equivalent to being deprived of lifelong freedom, in order to keep the secrets in the palace, most women only wait for death in the palace. Because the regulations formulated by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade people outside the palace to pass letters or items for the palace maids. Once the ban is violated, "everyone will die".

In order to dispel these intimidating systems, the special draft can be completed smoothly.

This time, Zhu Zilong was really ruthless, and he insisted on holding on to the pressure of countless officials to scold him.

Some ancestral systems were also modified, stating that palace maids who were 25 to 30 years old would definitely have the opportunity to leave the palace and return to their hometowns. The arrears of wages in the past shall be made up in a lump sum.

For this reason, before choosing a palace maid, Zhu Zilong opened the door of convenience.

set an example, and let some of the palace maids who are now old take the settling-in allowance and salary and return to their hometown.

At this point, the pressure of the draft girl during the natural disaster has alleviated a lot of opposing voices-
