Chapter 043: The Draft

Filling the harem and extending the heirs, what His Majesty scoffed at last year, this year agreed.

Baiguan: "......"

Soochow really needs a decent heir now.

Then His Majesty set up a tax collection yamen in the local area, and all the taxes collected went to the inner treasury to be ignored? That's a country that doesn't distinguish between home and country.

The hundred officials who were already tired of the excerpt said: Soochow now needs a decent heir.

"They're tuba practicers, and they want to practice trumpet!"

The beard period broke through and threw the excerpt of the draft specifications on the ground, "Since you want to be drafted, then give me a good job, what is this?" ”

"The daughter of this minister, the niece of that petty official, all of them are honest and honest, and now they are going to fight to get married to me."

What the hell!

Ping An wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "The slave originally thought that he could ease the relationship between His Majesty and the hundred officials through this matter, but it was the slave who made his own opinion." ”

Since ancient times, there have not been many dynasties that have drafted women among the commoners, and Soochow is not one of them, and the scope of draft women is only among the courtiers.

And who said that the emperor does not need to woo the ministers? The draft is the emperor's wooing!

Ping'an's words reminded her that she was not trying to win over a few of her own people, and she would be isolated in the future.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Don't think about it, this doesn't match the plan she secretly prepared.

Why didn't I think of it before!

Hey, it's because she doesn't have experience as an emperor.

Hu Ziqi picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "This is my first draft, and the concubines who should be in the harem should be made up together." Tell them to redraw the list, the scope of which is ...... Let's expand it to sergeants. ”

Hundreds of officials, hundreds of thousands of sergeants!

Your Majesty has such an appetite! I'm worried that I'm not interested in women......

This incident must cause a sensation among the officials again.

Ping An belly slandered this withdrew, and while it was still early, he went directly to the "Daqing Palace".

Hearing about the expansion of the scope of the draft, the officials really are:

"Your Majesty is too nonsense, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of sergeants, how can a woman from such a background stay in the harem?"

"What Lord Jing said is reasonable, a woman from such a background is indeed vulgar."

"The scope has expanded, and the previous estimate of usage is afraid to be doubled several times."

"At the beginning of the year, the military expenses at the border have not yet been settled, and all the money will be used for the draft, can you still do anything in the yamen?"

"It's time for Lord Li to tell the queen to persuade Your Majesty."

"I thought that His Majesty had a change of heart, who knew that he was messing around like this again, and I was really ashamed of the emperor."

"Drafted from among the sergeants, the sergeants who have not been paid military expenses will not have too much opinion, where did they have such an honor in the past."

"Your Majesty is planning to do so?"

"Your Majesty only wants to be drafted."

"It means a lot."

"I think it's because some people are too powerful, and Your Majesty wants to divide them."

"Lord Liu may not be too upright."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The selection of outstanding women from the sergeants to fill the harem divides the rights of civil officials to a certain extent, after all, even officials come by recommendation, and civil officials naturally disagree, but the military generals raise their hands in agreement.

Different voices have brought the decision back to a certain extent.

With a stroke of her pen, choose!

Officers and non-commissioned officers, as well as women between the ages of 13 and 17 in their families, who are of good standing, clean in fortune, and in good health, may run for election.

But what about Soochow, there are hundreds of thousands of sergeants alone, and it is impossible to choose so ramblingly.

The Ministry of Household issued a stipulation on this: for a period of three months, the show girls from all over the country were screened once by the local government, and then they were sent to the capital through the yamen at their own expense.

The conditions are given, and the ladies have to fight for financial resources in addition to fighting for their fathers. Needless to say, the Beijing officials have already made their daughter's list to the draft. And the minimum standard for fighting for financial resources is that you must bring at least one maid by your side.

doesn't even have a maid, what kind of lady is it?

Half of it is brushed off by local selection, and half is brushed off at their own expense, and the ladies fight for this father, fight for financial resources, and finally arrive in the capital after layers of selection. The number of participants in the draft is also less exaggerated.

And such a lot of hard work, hollowing out the mind, is just the beginning.

The three-month time limit for the country's major project is really tight, but it doesn't matter what the beard period is outside, she still follows the strategy of pretending to be sick and moaning when she is sick, and living in a simple place, which is easy to make people invisible, and she is waiting for the draft to start.

*

The north side of Fengqi Mountain, located in the courtyard of many dignitaries, beyond the range of the courtyard in the north, until the outskirts of the capital to the very edge, is the ancestral tomb of many dignitaries. This side is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it is recognized by the world as a treasure of feng shui, and the old ancestor of the Li family who died called the beard period is buried here. In the first few months, the filial sons and grandsons of the Li family stayed here to keep filial piety, and they have only seen few people in recent days.

"My lordβ€”"

Li Mu's entourage shouted from the shore from a distance, "The young lady is here." Did you catch a fish? ”

There is a small boat in the blue lake, and a young man in the bow of the boat is dressed in a coat, holding this bamboo pole to fish in the drizzle and haze.

The fish in this lake have long been fished, and they never bite the hook, so Li Mu is still focusing on cultivating sentiment.

"My lordβ€”"

The attendant on the shore shouted his previous words twice.

Li Mu waved his hand, signaled that he had heard, collected the fishing rod, and the canopy boat was dragged back to the shore by a rope.

He doesn't know how to take a boat, but his figure jumping ashore in a lily coat is extraordinarily tall.

Dressed in a spring dress, the dignified and graceful Jing hurriedly looked away, bowing his head slightly, but he still looked at the upright figure.

"Why are you here?"

Li Mu's eyes didn't have much warmth.

Jing Shi was nervous about his gaze, and stirred the handkerchief in his hand and said, "Mother is worried that your life here is inconvenient, so I asked you to call you back." ”

Hearing this, Li Mu looked aimlessly at the fine spring rain: "I made an appointment with the second brother, and I will go back after a few days." ”

Jing snorted.

There was a lot of silence in the drizzle.

"By the way," Li Mu remembered and said, "If there is anything at home, go to Madame, go out to find Xiuran, and I will tell him later." If you have any needs, you can also ask me directly. ”

A few days after getting married, he almost went to the border, and then he didn't stop coming here to guard filial piety, and the two of them didn't even say a few words.

Jing Shi was even more unreasonably nervous towards him, and now that she suddenly heard such care, her eyes were somehow hot. Hurriedly hung his head to hide this, and said with an air, "I know, the family is very good, and my mother has been teaching me recently, these ...... You don't have to worry. ”

"That's good," Li Mu tilted his head to look at her, feeling that there was really nothing to say, "It's cold, I'll ask Xiu Ran to send you back." Don't come here in the future, it's too far. ”

"Hmm," Jing felt a little happy in his heart, and only then did he remember to bring something over. But someone came from afar, and Li Mu hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Jing stared at the figure of her husband, and saw that the person who came was a little familiar: "Isn't that the general of the border army?" ”
