Chapter 283: A Woman Can Hold Up Half the Sky!

Su Yu's recent moves have been very big, the Yanhuang Empire has only established a new empire this year, and it is a time for development and recuperation;

Three-to-one male-to-female ratio!

This is definitely an abnormal trend, if left unchecked, it will definitely affect the normal development of the empire, so Su Yu did not abolish the system of polygamy after becoming emperor.

"This ......"

General Chen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled apologetically: "The last general miscalculated, but even if there are only 20 million men, he can provide at least a million soldiers, and the emperor shouldn't need to promote women, right?"

"Feed another million soldiers? There is no need to cultivate the land in the seven major counties? There are less than 10 million young and strong men out of the 2,000 men! The territory of the seven major counties is vast, and two-thirds of the 1.2 billion mu of fertile land is uncultivated! If we forcibly recruit troops at this time, what will the soldiers eat and drink in the coming year!"

Hubu Shangshu sneered and said: "Originally, the population recruited by the military department this year is already the limit, if it weren't for the extremely high yield of magical grain seeds provided by the emperor, I would have fallen into famine everywhere!"

"But at present, the Yanhuang Empire has less than two million troops to mobilize freely, and if we don't continue to recruit soldiers, I'm afraid that the people of the anti-imperial alliance in the coming year will provoke a war.... When the time comes, we will inevitably fight on multiple fronts, and the Yanhuang Empire is now in urgent need of a large number of soldiers. ”

Huang Zhongyi said another sentence coldly, which made General Chen's face glazed.

There is a need for both enough men to fill the army and enough men to cultivate the fields, but there are few men!

Most of the officials in the court were silent, but it was a pity that Chen Qun went to other ethnic countries to preside over foreign affairs, otherwise he would definitely stand up at this time to get an idea for the emperor.

After a long time, someone stood up: "Emperor, there is a law of polygamy in the national policy, and it only needs to encourage farmers to have more men and raise more men, and if they recuperate for a long time, they will definitely restore the normal ratio of men and women in the empire." ”

This sentence immediately made Su Yu sneer, the Yanhuang Empire at this time seemed to be majestic and mighty, but in fact, there were very few ministers who could take charge of themselves in the court and have foresight! Otherwise, this person would not have said such unwise words!

"Oh?"

Su Yu smiled indifferently, and his voice was a little cold: "Then do you think that how many peasant families can afford to marry two ladies? How many peasant families can afford to raise many children? Besides, if you prefer sons over daughters, for a long time, within twenty years... The ratio of men to women must be reversed! When there are more men and fewer women, it will be more difficult to marry a wife, and that will be a good thing for the empire?"

Su Yu's words, every sentence made the ministers break out in a cold sweat.

Although this truth is simple, it is generally difficult for anyone to think about it so far-reaching, and now when I hear the emperor say it, everyone feels even more terrifying.

The ratio of men to women must be maintained at a relatively normal value, and it is abnormal to have more men and fewer women, and more men and girls.

Not to mention, the Yanhuang Empire is an empire that started with agriculture, and the economic ability of most of the people is limited, although Su Yu has been advocating the construction of commerce and industry, but the time is too short, and the results are very little! At present, for the people of Yanhuang, it is a gratifying thing to be able to marry a daughter-in-law, who has spare money to marry a second daughter-in-law?

If the basic economic conditions of the empire are not improved, then the policy of encouraging fertility and marriage will be a blank sheet of paper and will have no effect.

Most of the officials in the court are good at political affairs, but they lack the talents to be the pillars of their own affairs.

Su Yu was helpless, he could only carefully consider many big policies, and then put them forward by himself.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to the promotion of women!

Su Yu can only try his best to grasp this drawback within the scope of his control!

"I have made up my mind to build a women's martial arts school and a women's bachelor's house! Recruit excellent women with both talent and morality, and at the same time encourage women to go to the fields to farm, and encourage women to join the army!"

Su Yu took a deep breath and said indifferently.

Promoting the status of women cannot be done overnight, but his attitude towards reusing women must be seen clearly.

The women in the Yanhuang Empire are not props used to give birth to children, but women who can be compared to men!

"The specific policies and measures will be completed by the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Officials, and at the same time, the pilot test will be carried out from the imperial capital. ”

Su Yu continued to instruct: "If both men and women have excellent grades, I will give priority to those who promote women! In addition, the issue of teaching in girls' schools will cancel the appointment of male teachers! The two queens of mine will personally select outstanding talented women to serve as teachers, and the women's martial arts school will also be handed over to the queen to take care of. ”

Su Huiyin is good at strategy and piano, Su Mi'er is good at martial arts and kendo, plus the help of Guifei Nian Qingyi, Shufei Ling An'er, Concubine De Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Xianfei Mingzhu and others, there is absolutely no problem with the first batch of teaching and training in the women's university and martial arts school.

After all, there are not many talented women in the imperial capital, and many nobles and officials have doted on their daughters.

Su Yu just wanted to encourage these people and let them raise their daughters as men, so as to relieve the pressure of military service, agricultural cultivation, economic construction and so on in the empire.

"Also, some of the old customs related to women have all been abolished by me! The specific policy implementation will start from the imperial capital and gradually spread to the seven major counties! As for the military department, the first batch of powerful peasant women from the seven major counties and the imperial capital will be sent to join the army and stationed in the imperial capital in the name of the women's reserve army! The military salary and military merit system should refer to the regulations of the men's army! I want the people to know that women can also hold up half the sky!"

Su Yu's voice was firm and unquestionable.

Su Yu was in power, enough to do something that other emperors could hardly do.

Yin and Yang are in harmony, men and women are in harmony, and the right way is right! Men can serve the empire, and women can naturally do it!

As long as the court reuses women, coupled with the brewing of time, there will be no worries about improving the status of women among the people; as long as the status of women can be improved, a large number of outstanding women who are not weaker than men will show their heads one after another, and the problems faced by the Yanhuang Empire will be easily solved.

"Whoa!"

In the face of the powerful emperor, the hundred officials could only bow their hands respectfully.

The emperor has already given the direction of development, as for the remaining details of public opinion guidance, the construction of schools, the improvement of folk customs, and the focus of detailed preferential policies, it is necessary for the civil and military officials to implement them.

They didn't know whether this matter was good or bad, but at least for the problems that the Yanhuang Empire would face in the near future, the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages.

At least the current shortage of troops has been solved, and as for the pressure on agriculture and other problems, we need to slowly improve them.

After all, the old ideas of the common people have been deeply rooted, although the emperor has made his attitude clear, but to change these old concepts, it is still necessary for a large number of officials to do positive guidance, and try their best to eliminate some negative policy effects.

Fortunately, Su Yu's iron-blooded methods in the early stage have already made the hundred officials return to their hearts, coupled with the extensive use of the demon contract in the early stage, at least Su Yu now does not have to worry about the hundred officials of the Yanhuang Empire dragging his feet, nor does he have to worry about major corruption and abuse of private power.

This is also the reason why Su Yu dared to propose the formation of a women's army.

After continuing to deal with some twists and turns, Su Yu waved his hand: "Let's disperse." ”

"Scattered Dynasty~~~!"

The sharp voice of the chamberlain sounded, and the civil and military officials knelt down one after another, shouting long live: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Then these people withdrew from the court hall in an orderly manner, and the emperor explained a lot of things today, including both appalling betrayal of officials, and the reuse of women as soldiers. The emperor moved his mouth, ran and broke his leg below, and a large number of preparations were enough to keep the hundred officials busy in the next time.

"Emperor, there is still a kobold messenger waiting in the messenger's post, can the emperor summon him?"

After the dispersal of the dynasty, there was an attendant who carefully reminded the emperor.

There are chamberlains who follow Su Yu, specially reminding Su Yu of some government affairs and important matters that Su Yu may forget, which is something that Su Yu has specially explained.

After all, an empire is so big and there are many things, no matter how wise Su Yu is, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, and he naturally needs someone to remind him.

"Hmm. ”

Su Yu sat on the dragon chariot, closed his eyes and recuperated, and after a long time, he ordered: "Let that kobold stay there first, I don't want to see him now." ”

Before the time came, it was useless to see the kobold, but he made himself sick.

"Wow. ”

The chamberlain nodded hurriedly, and then asked in a low and respectful voice: "Emperor, where do you want to go now?

"Drive the Kunning Palace. ”

Su Yu smiled indifferently.

Staying in the imperial study every day, people are going to get tired of it.

As the emperor, he naturally has nothing to do to visit his harem compound.

The second more.

The women's army must be established, and the female generals must also be summoned; the plot of developing the empire is also necessary, and the big war will not be too long! There are more exciting plots waiting for you later!
