In the late autumn of the empire, everything is harvested - or depressed.

The world seemed to be peaceful, so Emperor Zhu Honghua decided to tidy up his harem.

The first is the palace maid.

At this time, less than 10,000 of the 50,000 palace maids in the harem remained, some of whom were martyred, and most of them were assigned to nunnery. In fact, it is easy for a palace maid with money, a backstage or a good relationship to escape from the nunnery, after all, the nunnery is not a prison. The imperial court is too lazy to send troops to manage the nunnery, think about it, a group of soldiers take care of a group of palace maids, and it is strange if there is no problem.

Someone asked why someone would go if the palace maid was so miserable?

I thought about it, maybe there are two things.

The first is a small number of cases: taking the initiative to be a palace maid. A court maid has a rare chance of becoming a concubine or even a queen. Of course, this "very little chance" is a matter of opinion. But people like me who don't even buy lottery tickets don't care about this kind of odds, as long as the success rate is less than 90%, I won't do it. The lottery winning rate is less than a few in 100 million, isn't there still so many village husbands and women who buy bankrupt property? By the way,The lottery is managed by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty,I have a lot of friends there,I have time to tell you about the lottery cat,Today only talk about the palace maid。 If the lottery is a kind of IQ tax, who has a low IQ, who pays the tax, then the palace maid is also a kind of IQ service, who has a low IQ, who serves. Since there are so many people who buy lottery tickets, and there are many people who take the initiative to be palace maids, who makes them read novels and look stupid.

The second is the main thing, and that's what I'm going to talk about today – the national draft.

All girls between the ages of 16 and 18 of the noble clan, except for the eldest daughter, must participate in the draft. This is stipulated by the law of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to disobey it, raid the house!

The whole country hated this practice, but they did not resist, because there was still a high chance that their girls would not be chosen. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty and the regulations of the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Temple, millions of school-age girls in the tens of millions of scholars in the country must be checked one by one, and then hundreds of thousands are primary, and then a few thousand are selected to enter the palace as palace maids. Of course, under special circumstances this year, this time the selection is not a few thousand, but tens of thousands.

Those selection rules are simply a bone in the egg, a little mole or a scar on the body, a little fat or a little thinner, a little taller or a little shorter, too fast or too slow, none of that. In the end, they were all the best beauties, although they were far worse than the former queen or Dongfang Mingyue, but each one far surpassed Zhao Xingyue (alas, I don't know how she was).

Such a beautiful woman will be claustrophobic in the deep palace (in fact, it should be a high palace) in the future. The palace is highly hierarchical and oppressive to each other. You can imagine that tens of thousands of beautiful women are competing for favor in the face of a man, and these tens of thousands of beauties are usually the object of envy! No matter how beautiful and talented you are, when you enter the palace, you will be like a helpless child falling into a deep well, like a lamb to the slaughter giving meat to the table, until your green hair turns gray, until your delicate body turns dry bones. According to this statement, "Golden boudoir willow quality, one load to yellow sorghum" is really a good ending!

If you have the money, you can bribe the eunuchs who choose the palace maids, that is, us, and let them be eliminated for any reason; If you don't have the money, then leave it to fate.

So I can formally answer the question above: "Someone asked the palace maid so miserable, why should someone go?" "-This is a pseudo-question, no one wants to be a palace maid, they are all forced. I also want to be an emperor, I don't want to be a eunuch, but everyone is forced. The world is full of all kinds of people and things.

Some people will say, ah, the women of the gentry tribe are really unlucky, and the civilian women are okay - ridiculous question.

The nobles are so unlucky, and the civilians are even more unlucky! The nobles are just daughters who may be chosen as palace maids, while commoner women are controlled from beginning to end!

The Ming Empire had two departments that managed the marriage and childbirth (or survival and reproduction) of commoners - the Survival Department and the Second Survival Department.

These two departments have existed for a long time, countless years before the birth of the Ming Empire, the Ministry of Survival and the Second Department of Survival existed, that is to say, all dynasties have these two departments, which is a tradition and an unquestionable truth. Dynasties are like the bodies of living beings, and departments are like the genes of living beings, living beings live and die, but the genes are passed down from generation to generation.

Both of these departments are to ensure the survival of mankind, note that, it is to ensure the survival of "mankind", not to ensure the survival of "Daming" or any other dynasty, so their significance is even greater than that of "Daming".

These two departments are managed by the legendary "Senate". This was also the first time I knew what the "Senate" was for. I risked my life to find out what I could see. But this information discouraged me, because the Senate seemed to be rather chaotic - the two departments were opposites.

The Ministry of Survival is the ministry that requires people to have more children to ensure the survival of mankind, and its responsibility is to prohibit abstinence, contraception, early marriage and early childbearing, abortion, and so on. They must ensure that each of the women of the Ming Dynasty has at least ten children.

The reason is: there are too few human beings, 4 billion people are far from enough, and there is not enough labor, and for the reproduction of human beings, for the survival of the race, it is necessary to force reproduction. Think about it, if everyone doesn't give birth, won't humanity be extinct? Well, it smells of truth.

The Ministry of Survival has its own army and its own bureaucratic system, and their role is to force people to have children, and all men and women over the age of 25 who are not married and have children are executed - you can't have children anyway, what's the use of you?

Second, the Ministry of Survival is the sector that requires people to have fewer children in order to ensure the survival of mankind. Its duties are to prohibit abstinence, contraception, early marriage and childbearing, abortion, and so on. They had to ensure that each woman of the Ming Dynasty could not have more than ten children.

The reason is: there are too many human beings, the population of 4 billion has been consumed too much, there are no job opportunities, natural resources have been exhausted, and the four major energy sources of ancient times, the "kerosene and gas core", have been consumed, so the population must be controlled. Think about it, if everyone has too many children, the earth will be blown up immediately! Well, it smells of truth.

The Second Survival Division also has its own army, including its own bureaucracy, theoretical ideas, and spheres of influence. They are more powerful than the Survival Ministry, not only because they came later, but more importantly, they do much better than the Survival Ministry. What can you do if you want people to have children? Can you fertilize all of them? You will raise a child after giving birth? But the work of the second survival department is much simpler, the pregnant ones are directly killed, the born ones are directly killed, and if you give birth to more, the whole family will be killed!

There were frequent clashes between the Survival Division and the Second Survival Division, and fighting often broke out between their respective armies, which left people at a loss.

Although I agree with the original intention of each of their ministries, and agree with the logical reasoning of each of their ministries, they are the opposite! It gave me a splitting headache and I didn't know what the problem was.

Under normal circumstances, the old guys of the imperial court, the Confucian Party and other sects, and the Northern Party all supported the Survival Department, while the Young Warriors, the Jiangnan Party, the Commoner Party, and the Imperial Party all supported the Second Survival Department.

In fact, these two departments still cooperated, that is, they made outstanding contributions to the population control of the Ming Empire. They unite to control the purity of the bloodline, and the lineage of each child must be extremely clear, and there will never be an illegitimate child, because if this happens, the child and his parents will be absolutely wiped out. Even having a relationship before marriage is absolutely forbidden, and when you get married, you must check it carefully, and if there is any abnormality, you will be executed immediately.

If you go to Daming's territory, you will never see any disabilities, not even those who are very short, tall, and fat, because they have all been disposed of by these two departments. I don't know what that percentage is, but it's about one in ten. How reasonable, just, and scientific it is to dispose of only one-tenth of the remaining tenths and make the remaining nine-tenths perfect. Even if it were to execute nine-tenths and make one-tenth perfect, that would be reasonable.

If I were the Emperor, I would have the Survival Department execute the Second Survival Ministry, and then the Second Survival Ministry, because they are simply here to fight. But this is impossible, because the emperor has no right to do this, the senators will take care of this matter, and besides, the senators will also think about the emperor's country.

At this time, I couldn't help but think of Zhao Xingyue who was far away in the sky, and I didn't know what happened to her. There was a time when I really wanted to confess to her. But when I think about all the that followed, I thought desperately, what's the use of giving birth to a child, just to make this world one more slave? I have complained about my father more than once, what is the use of you giving birth to me and letting me come to this ugly world. Dad always said hey, it's late.

Okay, that's a long way off. How to get to the survival department and the second survival department.

The world pays a lot of attention to the "World Draft", and the attention exceeds that of the "Oiran Conference". Of course, the "Oiran Conference" I am talking about is the "Fake Oiran Conference" organized by the "Qinglou Gang". Because - the "Oiran Conference" twenty years ago was the fuse of the "Eight Kings Rebellion"! That time, one of the most beautiful beauties was selected, Peony, who is now the boss of the "head of the Oiran" in Chang'an County, and it was this woman who divided the royal family......

Everyone is paying attention to the "World Draft", and everyone is wondering who is the number one beauty in the world......

The biggest national draft in decades has begun.

The Dashi are immune to the draft, because they can give the draft eunuchs enough money - in fact, they treat it as a fun thing, not only do they not get a concubine, they have to choose a concubine themselves!

For example, the Chang'an Guo clan and the Liaoxi Jin clan in the capital were originally one of the great warrior clans in the world, and now they are the people of the emperor and the prince. They not only bully the common people, but also the small warriors, bullying men and women everywhere, others dare to be angry but dare not speak, the so-called "small fish eat shrimp, big fish eat small fish". They bully those draft girls, and when they see that they are beautiful, they have to take them by force. If they didn't, they threatened to send them to the palace.

Among them, the most domineering is the group of people who are the prince Zhu Hongfeng. The prince not only robbed the people's daughters, but also robbed the wives and daughters of the Xiaoshi clan; Even if the wives and daughters of the Xiaoshi clan are forgotten, they dare to rob the wives and daughters of the Dashi clan; Forget about robbing the wives and daughters of the Dashi clan, and even robbing your brother's head. You said that you are all princes, you are a character, and you still do such low-grade things.

That time, we had a huge conflict with the prince because of this matter.
