Emperor Changping was very satisfied and said: "Since Rui'er has thought it through, then follow your wishes. In the court, you need money and food, and you need to send troops, all as you want. Right now, this matter comes first. It's just that Mingyue, if you go to Jin Province, won't you have to go too, but now is the time to reform, how can you go away? ”

Qin Mingyue said with a smile: "Your Majesty, we are going to reform right now, but the matter of the twelve-point array is also very important." If the twelve divisions are not removed for a day, it is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the people and Da Zhou, so that we dare not have a moment of distraction. It is better to get rid of this serious problem as soon as possible. ”

"Besides, right now, it's not the time for reform, right now, isn't what the emperor wants to do is to eradicate the Jin Dynasty first? In fact, I can't help anything about raiding the family and exterminating the clan and fighting for power. ”

Looking at Qin Mingyue's smiling face, Emperor Changping smiled and said, "You, aren't you talking about the property of the ministers?" ”

Qin Mingyue said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean this. The emperor's harsh measures against these ministers who violated the law and taboos looked brutal, but in fact, it was only brutal to those who violated the law and discipline. To be cruel to such a person is to be merciful to the people. Only by eradicating these people who can only exploit the people, form parties for personal gain, and never consider the world or the suffering of the people, can the people live a good life and the Great Zhou can prosper. ”

Emperor Changping also nodded, it is true, he used to let go for too long, and it is not a good thing to consume national strength like this, it seems that it is necessary to be tighter.

The affairs of the court were handed over to Emperor Changping and Xie Xiang, and Yu Liangpeng and they went to get it. Qin Mingyue and Xiao Rui were concentrating on preparing to go to Jin Province, the affairs of the harem, and the newly appointed Empress Fang was also in full swing.

The treatment of the palace people has improved, and the palace maids who have passed the age have released one or two thousand people, and these people are not just like in previous years, and they will be released after giving ten taels of silver. This time, Empress Fang's work was very meticulous.

She first asked people to investigate all the palace maids who are over the age, put them aside, and those who are unwilling to leave the palace will be redeployed, and those who can be upgraded as grandmothers will be upgraded, and those who are not very good at work, or have bad character, and love to stir up trouble, or find out that it is Li Zhaoyi or the dark line left by Queen Yang before, and they will not let it out, and they will be directly assigned to the palace or go to the imperial mausoleum to guard. However, some honest palace maids in the palace and the imperial tomb have been recruited back. Such a change has greatly strengthened Queen Fang's control over the harem.

After dealing with the palace maids to stay, the next thing is to deal with the palace maids who want to leave the palace. Empress Fang's work was particularly meticulous, and she carefully asked people to inquire about the situation of each palace maid. Ask them what they will write, and where are they going to take refuge when they leave the palace? If you have a family to rely on, you have to carefully ask your mother's family about the distance and who is left in your mother's family. Those who are ready to take refuge with relatives and friends are also investigated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and what is the reputation and character of these people.

These palace maids stay in the palace all the year round, have little contact with the outside world, and their impression of their mother's family and relatives is still stuck when they were children, and now they are black-eyed. There was an inquiry from the Empress Lady who instructed the Internal Affairs Office, which naturally made them extremely happy. In fact, they are also apprehensive about leaving the palace.

It didn't take long for all the news to be gathered. Most of these palace maids are people in or around the capital, and the place is close, so it is naturally easy to inquire.

After inquiring like this, I found that half of the palace maids who were going out of the palace were not very good. Even the family has a bad reputation. It is conceivable that if such a family member leaves the palace, these palace maids will definitely be sold again.

Queen Fang asked the grandmothers to tell these palace maids one by one. If you know these situations and still have to leave the palace, then let her go. If you regret it, you can stay.

These palace maids are not stupid, as soon as they heard about this situation, some of them changed their minds and stayed, and some of them thought of other ways, preparing to join other relatives or preparing to go out to join forces with a few sisters to go out to do a small business and live in the capital or something.

For such a situation, those who stayed, Empress Fang welcomed the resettlement place. Preparing to switch to relatives, let people investigate again, and was ready to go out to do it alone, she asked people to contact several large embroidery villages and other places outside the capital to provide these women with good job opportunities. This made many palace ladies excited. They are used to being in the palace, and they are not used to living with their families, and they can support themselves with their own hands and live a free life, who wouldn't want to?

With such an arrangement, it was determined which ones could be out of the palace. These palace maids who could leave the palace were divided into ten taels of silver according to the custom, and they were allowed to take the rewards they received in the palace out of the palace.

In addition, Queen Fang is not a bad person, she took out the silver from her own private money, and bought twenty taels of silver and two printed silk horses for each palace maid who left the palace. Of course, the printed silk section is all produced in Qin Mingyue's dyeing room. Doesn't the fertilizer water flow into the fields of outsiders?

At this moment, both those who left the palace and those who stayed in the palace were praised. Especially those who have not yet reached the age and cannot leave the palace, they also see hope. They became more and more loyal to Queen Fang.

After dealing with the young palace maids, it is time to deal with some older grandmothers. These old ladies are old, and some of them want to leave the palace. For these people, in addition to giving them enough silver taels in accordance with the palace rules, Queen Fang also arranged a place for them to go. Some took refuge with relatives and friends such as nephews outside the palace, and some were arranged to be nurturing grandmothers in some large families in Beijing. These old ladies all have stunts, and the rules are the most skillful, but they are very sought-after. Don't worry about finding someone to accept. In addition, Queen Fang took out silver and silk from her private money, and gave each grandmother who left the palace a hundred taels of silver and ten pieces of printed silk. Fortunately, there are not many of these grandmothers, and they are only a few dozen people. Therefore, Queen Fang didn't spend much money. Those grandmothers and palace maids combined, they only cost a total of forty or fifty thousand taels of silver. This amount of silver is only one-third of Xiao Rui's pocket money for his mother a year.

However, such a little silver made Queen Fang win a good name in the harem, and the entire harem was a voice praising Queen Fang. Many people saw the hope of the future, and the other queen became more and more respectful.
