788: Sooner or later, it will be planted on the body of the surname Cheng
Meng Huaijin's decision affected not only the female weaver workers, nor only the little girls adopted by Yu Xian, not only the poor little girls rescued by Shishi, but thousands of Great Wei women, and the influence of this decree will not really show its power until a few years later.
Later, many conservative courtiers were suffocated, they should have discovered the new emperor's attempt early on, and nipped such an encouragement of women's self-reliance in the bud, but because of their own interests, they acquiesced to the implementation of the imperial decree of 'selecting female officials'...... By the time they understood what the new emperor wanted to do, it was too late to object, and the new emperor boiled frogs in warm water to make them powerless to resist.
When everything is ready, change becomes the general trend of history, and any individual who tries to block the course of history is a car in the mantis arm!
When Xiao Yunting saw the emperor's list, he knew Meng Huaijin's intentions, which was obviously paving the way for Cheng Qing.
Selecting female officers?
Oh, Meng Huaijin clearly wants to set a precedent for women to be officials!
Meng Huaijin was able to do this for Cheng Qing, no wonder he couldn't do it if he wanted to separate these two people.
Xiao Yunting has always wanted to subdue Cheng Qing, but he will never be able to do it to the extent of Meng Huaijin.
For the first time, Xiao Yunting felt that he had lost unjustly, and in this regard, he was indeed inferior to Meng Huaijin.
"Lord Wangβ"
Cicada Yi waited for Xiao Yunting's orders.
Xiao Yunting put down the newspaper, "It's not a big deal, it doesn't have much impact on the situation in the northwest, some things are good ideas, but they may not be done." β
The courtiers did not object, because they thought that Meng Huaijin used the method of "selecting female officials" to fill the harem, and when the courtiers came back to their senses, they knew that Meng Huaijin wanted to let women be officials, and there was still trouble in the court and the opposition. When the time comes, I don't know if Meng Huaijin has the ability to suppress the opposing voice!
"Over there in the capital, how is the king's good second brother, can you be obedient recently?"
Xiao Yunting changed the topic and mentioned Xiao Yunpei, Cicada Yi felt a pang in his heart, bowed his head and said: "The second prince is moving around in the capital, wanting to go back to the northwest, and the king of Shu is the closest, the king of Shu went to the fief, and the two are still writing letters. β
Xiao Yunting sneered.
Is Xiao Yunpei really his half-brother?
Xiao Yunting didn't care about this younger brother, but he couldn't accept that the other party was so stupid.
The King of Shu wrote his ambition on his face, and Xiao Yunpei also openly interacted with the King of Shu, hoping that the King of Shu would one day succeed and earn a career as a dragon?
You have to pick the right person!
Meng Huaijin didn't kill him halfway, the King of Shu was really likely to ascend the throne, Meng Huaijin was about to sit on the dragon chair, what did the King of Shu do to fight with Meng Huaijin?
Without an army, all intrigues and tricks are like children playing at home.
Now it is no longer possible to enter and exit the palace from the tunnels as before, after Mr. Zhang's group exposed the secret passages, all the underground secret passages leading to the palace were slowly cleared out, blocked with bricks and stones, and the palace is now like an iron bucket, whether it is an open attack or a hidden one, it is difficult to enter.
If the king of Shu wants to start an incident, he needs to have tens of thousands of elite soldiers to enter the imperial city all the way.
Or get rid of Meng Huaijin...... Meng Huaijin himself is superb in martial arts, and he is protected by a master of the Great Interior, how can he easily assassinate?
Unless, Meng Huaijin is not in the palace.
Meng Huaijin will not leave the palace easily.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Xiao Yunting's mind, and he slipped away so fast that he almost didn't catch it, and he couldn't help but glance at the newspaper on the table again.
ββ¦β¦ So it was, the king knew. β
Meng Huaijin is different from him, he has no weakness, Meng Huaijin has.
A Cheng Rong died, and Meng Huai wanted to cut off his robe and break off relations with him.
Very good.
Meng Huaijin will be planted on another surnamed Cheng sooner or later.
Of course, Xiao Yunting would not be kind enough to remind Meng Huaijin, and with Meng Huaijin's mind, he could also think of this.
But it's useless to think of it, emotional preferences, Meng Huaijin can't hide it!
This is Meng Huaijin's biggest calamity.
Cicada Yi carefully asked how to deal with the close relationship between the second son and the King of Shu, Xiao Yunting's mind was no longer on his younger brother Xiao Yunpei, and he said casually: "He wants to die, why pull him?" Leave him alone, let him go, whether it will be good or bad in the future will be his creation. β
If you have the ability, you will kill back to the northwest and regain the position of King Ye.
Xiao Yunting has never been afraid of crises, if everything goes well, he still feels that life is boring!
Xiao Yunting suddenly asked Cicada Yi with interest: "Cheng Qing ran a weaving workshop and a glass workshop in Qin'an County, and made a lot of silver, what did she do with the silver?" β
"Lord Cheng is recruiting people to build the city wall, and the original city wall of Qin'an County has been demolished, and the county seat has expanded five or six miles."
Qin'an was originally a small county, and with Cheng Qing's expansion, the area of the city can be compared with the state.
The city wall is to build a defensive ring around the county seat, and the larger the area, the longer the city wall will be.
It is not reinforced on the basis of the original city wall, but expanded and rebuilt, it seems that relying on the weaving workshop and the glazed workshop, Cheng Qing has really earned a lot of silver!
Xiao Yunting is not jealous, Qin'an County is the northwest boundary, Cheng Qing has developed Qin'an County well, and he can indeed pay taxes and silver to the imperial court, but in the end, it is still cheap, after all, Cheng Qing cannot be Qin'an Zhixian for a lifetime.
β¦β¦
Qin An.
Cheng Qing's life is not as happy as outsiders see.
The original city wall of Qin'an County has been demolished one after another, and the new city wall has a new urban plan.
Cheng Qing was fed up with the environment of livestock manure on the streets, and when planning Qin'an New Town, he deliberately reserved many "public toilets" for them.
The glass workshop made a lot of money, but Cheng Qing was still under a lot of pressure, and she couldn't follow the old practice as a matter of course like other officials, just recruiting people to repair the city wall, but she didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people.
The people who serve are their own rations, their nutrition can't keep up with their poor physical fitness, and they will really die if they do too tired work, and sometimes they fall down while working, and they never get up again, and they are really tired to death.
This happens every year, and the people themselves are used to it.
Whoever dies at work will be unlucky, and the court will not lose money.
Anyway, the people are lowly, one is tired to death, and there is a new roof, anyway, the male of a family is not dead, and someone must be sent to serve, and the person can die, and it cannot affect the construction period.
Cheng Qing doesn't want to do this, she is developing Qin'an County according to her own ideas, so that the locals can live a good life, not to increase her political achievements.
The matter of people bringing their own rations is not allowed in Qin'an County, everyone eats a unified meal, and there is also a unified arrangement for when to go to work and when to finish work every day.
Tired is tired, there is a nutritional guarantee and working hours arrangement, so that people will not be tired to death.
Cheng Qing did this, and received countless praises, but it led to the rise in the cost of repairing the city wall, and Hu Dianshi held the abacus and account book every day, and couldn't sleep.
"My lord, do you want to borrow money to buy seedlings for the common people, and take a break?"
Cheng Qing shook his head, "No, this must be implemented." β
It is impossible for her to stay in Qin'an County for the rest of her life, and if she does not implement it during her tenure, the next magistrate may not continue to implement it.
But it costs a lot to repair the city wall, and Cheng Qing can understand the pressure of Hu Dianshi.
Cheng Qing's gaze fell on the extra open space between the old and new city walls.
"The matter of silver, the official will figure it out."
