In the imperial cities of most dynasties, the servants were mainly eunuchs, supplemented by palace maids.
And the Forbidden City of Daqin is different.
There are only palace maids and no eunuchs in the inner city, so countless dynasties in China have counted from the beginning, and the only one who can truly achieve the emperor in the palace is the Hongwu Emperor.
In the outer city, there are only men and not a woman.
Ancient emperors, whether in the East or in the West, had many beauties in their harems. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had 3,000 fans, and according to legend, the 3,000 beauties of the harem came from him.
However, if you say that you have the most concubines, you must count Emperor Wu of Jin, recording 10,000 beauties in the harem.
365 days in a year, 3,650 days in 10 years, what is the concept of these 10,000 people?
Among the founding emperors, the least, there are also three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two concubines.
Therefore, Emperor Hongwu is the one who has the fewest concubines among the founding emperors of all dynasties.
Under the rain and dew, Emperor Hongwu had twelve princes and twelve princesses.
The imperial palace of the Great Qin Empire was the most harmonious, thanks to the great sleep of the Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng.
The concubines are like sisters, and the children are like mothers. If you are so harmonious, everything will be prosperous.
On this day, Emperor Hongwu woke up in the early morning, and it was very difficult, from the huge dragon bed, all the way over the peak and the forest, and climbed out.
Subsequently. Yingying Yanyan was awakened by the evil dragon and had to get up. Serve the dragon. During this time, the dragon stretched out its claws. Ship out the world's most evil and shameless grab X dragon gripper.
After the dragon satisfies the hands, mouth, and stomach. There was Yang Yu, the first female official in the inner city, who led more than 30 palace ladies to send the evil dragon out of the inner city. When the evil dragon arrives at the gate of the outer city, he will be caught by the chief eunuch Dequan. Sitting on the open-air dragon sedan chair carried by thirty-six people, bathed in the early morning sun, inspecting his glorious "evil dragon castle", and finally came to the fifty zhang tall Jinluan Palace.
Along the way, the most heard. It's the phrase "the emperor is auspicious".
Nearly 10,000 square meters of Jinluan Palace, there are pavilions and pools, and the civil and military officials of Daqin arrived early and stood in the central open space. The five-zhang high dragon platform, the throne in front of the golden wall is empty.
Hundreds of civil and military officials surrounded the princes headed by the crown prince Qin Yan. The civilian officials were headed by Xu Shu, the chief of the Military Aircraft Department, and the military generals were the first to be the general Zhao Yun, and there were many discussions.
This is the tenth year of Hongwu, the big court meeting in March. It was also after Qin Feng returned to Beijing. The first pilgrimage. The topic of this court meeting has been personally decided by Emperor Hongwu: to expand trade with Rome and absorb the wealth of Rome as much as possible.
Qin Feng is not an economist, but he also knows. If you want to defeat a superpower, you must first crush the country's economy. Qin Feng is not an economist and does not know how to crush a country's economy. But he knows a simple truth: he has earned all the money in this country. Then the country has no money, and the economy simply collapses.
There are only two great empires left in the world. Great Qin's only foreign trade partner was the Roman Empire. Emperor Hongwu's intention to expand trade with Rome was realistic.
Then. Dequan came at a trot with a group of little eunuchs.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials who were discussing hurriedly returned to their positions and stood still.
Dequan squinted his eyes and looked at the respectful civil and military officials under the dragon stage, this was the most wonderful start of his day. Being able to be the head of the Great Qin Empire, he felt that he had left tens of millions of square kilometers behind the ancestors of the Han Dynasty and the Qin Dynasty. It is the "greatest eunuch" who has the greatest emperor in costume since ancient times, and there is no one.
Dequan exhaled and shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The majestic music sounded immediately, and Qin Feng, who was wearing a dragon robe, walked in a tiger step, and when he climbed the five-zhang high dragon platform, he was a little breathing. "Holy! Hua Tuo's medicine, is it boosted by pulling seedlings! Not wild? Go up three floors and you'll be out of breath! ”
Qin Feng also calmed down, and went to the golden throne, with a little eunuch standing on each side. There are no palace maids to play fans, the Great Qin Dynasty does not prosper this, and there are only men in the outer city of the Forbidden City in the Great Qin Dynasty. There are only women in the inner city, and of course, when Emperor Hongwu goes back, there is one more person with a handle.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The civil and military officials have all the princes, under the leadership of the crown prince Qin Yan, the mountain shouted long live and fell to the ground.
Qin Feng on the dragon platform looked at his courtiers and felt very pleased.
Writers: Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Tian Feng, Xun You, Fu Zhu, Cheng Yu and others are the first, and Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Man Chong, Liu Ye, Chen Gong, Yang Xiu and others are the auxiliaries. Outside, there are Lu Su, Fa Zheng, Zhuge Jin, Chen Qun, Zhong Xuan and others as feudal officials. There are also old guys such as Lao Kong Rong, Yang Biao, and Wang Lang.
Warriors: Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wei Yan, Hu Che'er, Zhang Yan, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Chen Zhi and others were in power. Outside, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Zhang He, Xu Huang and others are the generals of various military regions, and Li Dian, Le Jin, Zang Ba, Ji Ling, Ma Dai, Zhou Cang and others are deputies.
It is worth mentioning that Qin Feng built a luxurious palace in Yedu to support Cao Cao's wife Bian and youngest son Cao Zhi. The eldest son Cao Ang was a general under the old Huang Zhong in Shuzhong, while the second son Cao Pi served under Zhang Liao in southern Liaoning.
These men of civil and military talents were divided into three camps that were hostile to each other in later generations. Now, gathered under the banner of Daqin, it is really a three-in-one momentum. Qin Feng felt that in his lifetime, he would work with the talents who emerged in this era to build China well.
Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng was very pleased with his sons. The ninth son, Qin Ying, has also added a crown salute, and the nine sons are in the same dynasty, and each ministry is an official. Zhu Rong also gave birth to a big fat boy, and in the future, Da Qiao's old ten Qin Wen, Yunluo's eleventh Qin Yun, and Zhu Rong's old twelve Qin Rong will become adults. Together, that's the twelve zodiac signs of Great Qin, no, the twelve golden dragons!
The twelve brothers are the "Tiger Brothers", plus the ancestral dragon Qin Feng, that is the "father and son soldiers who go into battle".
Emperor Hongwu laughed heartily, "Zhongqing is ...... flat." ”
"Father Xie, Emperor ......." Here, the crown prince Qin Yan got up. The eight princes in the back followed suit.
"Emperor Xie ......." Only then did the civil and military officials get up with thanks.
Since childhood, the nine princes of Emperor Hongwu have been taught by generals such as the military division of the Military Aircraft Department and Zhao Yun in turn, and they have learned all their skills. The second Qin Fei, the seventh Qin Yu, and the ninth Qin are still martial. They were on errand in the military department, the official department, and the criminal department. The third Qin Shou, the fourth Qin Chan, the fifth Qin Mi, the sixth Qin Ya, and the eighth Qin Shi are good writers, and they are on errands in the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, Dali Temple, the General Administration Division, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
And the crown prince Qin Yan. It's at the military aircraft department.
The sons are studious and motivated, and their father Qin Feng is also very helpful, but it is mostly some common sense in later generations. Although these common senses are not as good as those of today, they are valuable in opening up their minds. If this idea is developed, people will not be stubborn, which is of great benefit to innovation and development.
Monarchs and ministers respect each other, and fathers and sons go on a blind date. The Great Qin court was in harmony.
After Xu Shu and Zhao Yun reported the recent situation of the court and the military, the world was peaceful. As a result, Qin Feng shifted his attention to pondering Rome. Although the western border is far away, it can't stand the Hongwu Emperor's good road. Eight lanes of bluestone, horses galloping, February will arrive. This is thanks to the unified planning of Daqin, which has a highway. If it is seventy or eighty countries, dozens of emperors and lords. Everyone has different political opinions and fights each other, but don't want to build such a broad road.
Before his death, Vologis V informed the Roman conspiracy. There is no doubt about the strength of the Roman Empire, and he destroyed two of the four ancient civilizations alone. European civilization is all under the iron heel. Although Daqin is not afraid, he still needs to be vigilant.
"As the saying goes, the first strike is strong, and the last strike suffers! The affairs of the Ministers to Rome. What's in the matter? Qin Feng sat on the dragon platform, when the bead curtain in front of him shook. Asked by tapping on his kneecap.
Dian Wei, who was on duty today, immediately walked out with the court board in his arms when he heard the words. The black face shook for a while, "Your Majesty, the Romans are really hateful, and that Severus is not a thing." Pray for 100,000 elite soldiers to level Rome! ”
The ministers were shocked for a while, and said in their hearts that this is going to start, 100,000 is estimated to be unreliable, let alone million.
Hubu Shangshu Xun Yu trembled for a while, this million moves, a day is ten thousand taels of gold, and I have saved in vain in the past few years.
However, everyone thought in their hearts that General Yiyong Hou Dianwei was a straight gut, and it was estimated that the emperor would not start the war in person.
Sure enough, Qin Feng smiled and said, "It's not the time to start fighting." We should simmer and weaken Rome little by little. ”
Dian Wei's head shook for a while, "Your Majesty, if you don't fight, how can you weaken people's strength?" ”
Qin Fengxin said that you can be regarded as asking the point, "If you don't fight, you can also weaken the strength of Rome." Fighting a war is not just about the army, logistics is the most important thing. What is the most important thing about logistics? ”
"It's grain and grass!" Dian Wei Dao.
"Not bad!" Qin Feng nodded, "But more important is money." With money, it is possible to arm soldiers. With money, we can buy more grain and grass from the people, and we can recruit the ...... of the people. ”
The civil and military officials couldn't help but nod.
Qin Feng is not an economist, but he also knows some economic fundamentals, and said: "In ancient times, barter, and now coins serve as equivalent exchanges. However, a country's ability to mint coins is limited, if we can trade guò and run a deficit, let a large amount of Roman money flow into Great Qin. Then Rome will have no money, and without money, their domestic economy will collapse. As soon as the economy collapses, the people rebel ....... ”
Wenwu was a little dizzy, and Dian Wei, who had been standing outside, scratched his head with the board and said, "Your Majesty, Rome can mint coins!" ”
Qin Feng smiled, looked at the puzzled officials, and reminded: "I remember that in the last years of the Han Dynasty, a large number of coins were minted. There are not enough precious metals, and under the large-scale shoddy production, what will be the final outcome? ”
The hundred officials suddenly realized, Xu Shu came out of class and said: "Your Majesty, in the end, money is not money, prices are soaring, and the people are not happy." ”
In later generations, there was a time when a bundle of millions could buy a box of matches. There are no banknotes today, so it is more difficult to mint. If there is a large outflow of precious metal currency from Rome, the domestic economy will inevitably be affected. A country with a collapsed economy is bound to have little combat effectiveness.
What Great Qin wanted to do was to kill people with a soft knife and bring down the Roman economy. The means is naturally trade, so the question arises, how to strengthen trade and bring down the Roman economy?
Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, Rome is a huge country, and it may be difficult to collapse their economic base. ”
The civil and military officials discussed for a while, in fact, they have been discussing for a long time, and they know that there is no good way now.
Jia Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, it is difficult to increase the import of goods in normal trade. Unless we can innovate and create goods that are not available today, we will be able to absorb a lot of wealth ...... in the short term. ”
Qin Feng took a picture of the imperial book case, or Jia Xu was flexible. Innovation, that is monopoly. The Romans were so luxurious and rich that they would definitely buy it. One sells it, and every family has to buy it when compared with it. The price increase under the monopoly will bring the money.
Qin Feng had this idea for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out by himself, so he specially convened a great court meeting to study this new trade. It's good to work together, so he asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, who has an innovative way?" ”
The ministers were immediately dumbfounded, but they quickly found a replacement, and Qi said: "Such a thing belongs to Shangdao, and it is better to have Lord Zhou Shan of the Royal Chamber of Commerce mention it."
