Chapter 184 [Qin Huai Bayan Audition]

The veteran is in charge, sitting at the border, and struggling in the most dangerous places.

The capital is singing and dancing, and there is no sense of crisis. Since listening to Aobai's suggestion, "Chongzhen" went to court for ten days, and there was less time to review and reuse, and the eunuchs of Dongchang were reused. The emperor has been busy falling in love with the girl, ignoring political affairs, and a group of ministers are in their eyes and anxious.

The Jin State succeeded in occupying Korea, and the Eight Banners Army began to assemble, as if it was about to send troops to Ningyuan. Seeing this situation, the ministers began to organize a group to impeach Aobai, saying that he delayed the battle at the border pass, resulting in the loss of Korea. Now that the Jurchens are powerful, they are bound to break through the Shanhai Pass and march into the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

There are also radical people who impeach Ao Bai and hand over the good situation at the border to others, which will put the capital in danger, and it is recommended that he be immediately removed and questioned.

"Chongzhen" turned a blind eye to the folds that filled the table every day. He issued a statement: "I believe that Huang Taiji is a man of his word. As long as they were willing to cede Shenyang and Liaoyang and retreat to Korea, they would recognize the status of the Jin State. Huang Taiji has canceled the Tiancong Khan, and also called himself a peace-loving person, and he will not let me down. ”

The courtiers are very helpless, the emperor, who was smart for a while before, why has he suddenly become mentally retarded recently?

Even more surprising things are still to come, the imperial court not only ignored the war at the border pass, but also carried out a unique "Qinhuai Bayan Audition" activity in Nanjing. The intention is to select the best Oiran of the Ming Dynasty. In the end, the top eight Oiran will be given the name "Qin Huai Bayan".

The event is conducted in the form of a knockout round, and the selection is carried out by voting.

This activity is in charge of the Ministry of Brocade and Rites. In the finals, the emperor will conduct a southern inspection and appear as a guest judge with Mrs. Huang.

In historical dynasties, no emperor has ever played like this. However, the Ministry of Rites He Ruzhong, Zhang Ruitu of the Ministry of Households, Li Biao of the Shoufu and other courtiers have all passed this proposal and have already begun to prepare. The preliminary rounds will be held in various places.

The reason the ministers agreed was that the event was very lucrative, and after the matchmaking convention, many businessmen discovered the benefits of advertising. As long as it is named in a large-scale event and let people know about their restaurant or business, business will become very prosperous. As soon as I heard that there was such an activity, businesses from all over the country paid money to advertise. The eunuchs in charge of collecting taxes in the East Factory sent out a large group, which was almost too busy. All matters related to finance, Aobai suggested that all the things should be handed over to the East Factory to handle. Dongchang, which was supposed to be a spy agency, is now like Dongchang Entertainment Co., Ltd., specializing in collecting taxes and collecting money.

Let the eunuchs be appropriately greedy for some money, they will be satisfied in their hearts, and they will work more carefully for the court, and when they die, there will be no descendants, and the money will still be the state. It's like depositing in a bank. The eunuchs are occasionally greedy for ink, as long as it is not too excessive, they should not be seen.

This kind of activity mainly earns the silver of those businessmen, writers, rich second generations, and second generation officials who like to visit the green house. If a girl they like goes to the competition. The best way to please these girls is to watch them perform and vote for them. Of course, voting requires money, it is not expensive, and a vote costs a few pennies. This is to encourage people to vote more, than to vote. In order to make everyone's vote more intense, Ao Bai proposed that the official in charge of statistics should also appropriately select a few people to vote.

In Aobai's saying, as long as fans from all sides fight for the girl they like, then the court can make money. After the Oiran from all over the country was selected, they went to Nanjing to participate in the finals. The eunuchs can also secretly contact them and carry out some "unspoken rules". If a eunuch wants to unsubtly rule a woman, it is impossible to have a relationship, he can only ask for money. Don't underestimate the girls, especially the Oiran, they are all very rich, just look at how many things Du Shi Niang threw away when she committed suicide. That's another part of the income.

In the palace, Ao Bai put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Our aim is that as long as there is money, even if this girl looks like a gentleman and sings like a sheep, let them advance." Of course, the final top eight must be of high quality, and they must be yellow flower girls, the more tender the better, and the emotions of the men must be fully stimulated, so that they can worship under the pomegranate skirts of beautiful women, wagging their tails and begging for mercy. This kind of event, if people find it interesting, will do it every year. ”

Several ministers and "Chongzhen" listened to his detailed plan, and their mouths were open.

Yin Ying, the fake eunuch of Dongchang, said: "Taifu, my subordinates have sent Gonggong He, Gonggong Li, and Gonggong Du to Nanjing to preside over this matter. I have a question, if it is done once a year, then Qin Huai Bayan can only maintain his name for one year, is it too fast. ”

Ao Bai smiled: "Good question, it's too fast." Therefore, the Qin Huai Bayan draft is held every four years. Old stars from the past can also take part in the title defense. The years are not forgiving, and this is not an easy thing. And in order to surpass these predecessors, newcomers have to find ways to canvass for themselves...... I said I would do it once a year, so I didn't have to do it again? I won't look at talent next year. The main thing is a beauty pageant. Find the most beautiful girl in the country and get together and find the judges to judge. The final finalists will be given the title of 'Miss Daming', and participating in the work of the imperial court, choosing concubines, etc. can be based on this title. The girls have to wear the costumes provided by the organizers and advertise the costumes, who doesn't want to be as beautiful as Miss Daming? They represent fashion, what kind of rouge, water, perfume, and soap they use, and then our officials and businessmen can happily sell clothes, perfumes and other women's daily necessities. ”

"Chongzhen" stretched out his thumb and praised: "Taifu, if you become a businessman, you will definitely become the richest man in the country." ”

"The richest man in the country is useless, and the slogan of the industry under my wife's name is - everyone is really good. The country has developed, and there will be more and more opportunities to make money in the future. Only when the people have money in their hands can the country develop rapidly. ”

"Chongzhen" said excitedly: "Taifu, you are simply amazing." In this way, the country's tax revenue can indeed increase a lot. ”

Ao Bai said with a straight face: "You can't just think about collecting taxes, taking them from the people, and using them for the people, when the country is rich, we should find ways to improve the welfare of the people." At the very least, everyone should be fed and clothed, be able to afford a house, see a disease, and have a school. If corrupt officials run rampant, the country is rich and the people are poor, even if the officials go out to show every day and send money everywhere to pull support, they are still a bunch of bastards"

He Rupet frowned and said, "In front of the emperor, how can you swear?" ”

Ao Bai laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." It's all because our Ming atmosphere is too bad and the corruption is serious, no matter how good the system is, it can't be reversed for a while. It depends on the long-term efforts of all of us. ”

As long as others are willing to support Aobai, things will get better and better. There are so many business opportunities to develop in this country. Even if he hadn't done business in his previous life, he could casually say some whimsical ideas.

Of course, not everything of these modern things can be accepted by people, and he has to experiment first, and if he can't accept it, he will stop. In order for the country to develop rapidly, the most important thing is to follow the trend of the times. It was an era of primitive accumulation, suitable for the development of seafaring colonies, when firearms and explosives were created, and military power was rapidly increasing, and peace would not be wanted until weapons were developed to the level of terror. A world war in the world in the future is inevitable.

In the past, the Ming Dynasty promulgated a ban on the sea and implemented the Eight Shares of Scholars, which were all manifestations of not conforming to the trend of the times. This is where Ao Bai must change.

Sometimes, governing a country is the same as living a common people's life. Every family is a small country, for example, everyone thinks that rice is good and likes to eat rice. The Daming family has to eat starch, and the people who eat it are constipated one by one and do not admit that they are uncomfortable, and they go out to contact other people's families, and want to unite with all the families who do not eat good food, so they say that it is good to eat starch, and raise the bar with normal people. It's not integrity, it's not personality, it's full of food

At present, it is necessary to increase military strength as much as possible in a short period of time. Killing Huang Taiji is the first step.

At this time, Huang Taiji was still using the strategy of delaying the army at the border pass. On the one hand, people are going to North Korea one after another, and on the other hand, they are actively preparing for war. The soldiers of the Eight Banners who returned from Korea, although tired, did not remove their armor and were immediately ready to fight. The people who have just been sent to North Korea are full of energy and can also hold the scene.

The reason why Ao Bai rushed to let people go to the draft at this time and do some fun things was to better paralyze the Eight Banners Army and think that the Ming Court was mediocre. Your Majesty, the Taifu are all fun-loving children, and they are not atmospheric. In this way, they will attack the Central Plains more boldly.

Regarding this matter, "Chongzhen" asked: "Taifu, there have been more and more people impeaching you recently. If you still want to engage in these activities, will it affect your image very much? ”

Ao Bai smiled: "I just want to give people the impression of this kind of pleasure." We have spies, and so do the Jurchens. The Great Wall is so long, there are gaps everywhere, and they will send people to find a way out for the sake of the economy. Even if the army can't get through, it's easy to come over a few people. If we don't play like that, they might think of a conspiracy waiting for them. To make them more at ease. The emperor can declare to the public that I have been dismissed. The reason is to find a few in the folds, if you don't save the border pass, it's hard to drum up in the twilight or something...... Then he announced in a high-profile manner that he would send Wenchen to the border to supervise the army. ”

"Why is that?"

Ao Bai said: "In this way, if they are determined to launch an offensive, they will not be able to hold their breath." Look at which Donglin Party usually doesn't do good things, and send them to Jizhou Town to supervise the army, so that when the enemy comes, the effect will be more realistic when the defenders escape. It will take ten days to send troops from other places to the border at the earliest, and the Eight Banners Army is cavalry, so it will definitely rush to the front, and then a good show can be staged. ”。.。
