Chapter 282: The Male and Female Ratio Is Out of Balance
Otherwise, with the temperament of the Night Clan, they would never let go of such a good opportunity.
Since there are already other countries to take on the first wave of strong offensive against Su Yu for themselves, Su Yu is naturally happy to be at ease.
In this way, it can avoid directly confronting the army of the anti-Su Yu Alliance, second, it can take advantage of the situation to take down those disobedient human principalities, third, it can figure out the enemy's combat effectiveness through battlefield observation, and fourth, the Yanhuang Empire can gain precious respite and preparation time.
Su Yu's move kills four birds with one stone!
"What is the kobold messenger for?"
Su Yu's deep eyes revealed a smile and asked indifferently.
"It is said that it is here for peace!"
The chamberlain whispered.
"Summation?"
"There is no war, what kind of peace is this?"
"It is estimated that it has something to do with the Anti-Imperialist Alliance!"
The civil and military officials speculated in low voices.
Su Yu waved his hand and said indifferently, "I know." Let him wait in the messenger's post until I am empty, and see him again. ”
"Wow. ”
The chamberlain respectfully agreed.
It seems that the emperor is not very interested in the kobold messenger, and it seems that he can do some hands, feet and movements to win the emperor's favor.
The chamberlain's mind wandered, and he planned to inform one of his brothers, who was on an errand at the messenger's post, to embarrass the kobold messenger.
"Okay, where did I just say?"
After arranging the matter of the kobold's envoy, Su Yu thought about it slightly, and continued to say indifferently: "That's right! It's a matter of the empty treasury! Send someone to issue an edict to me in the seven major counties: Yanhuang's strength is inseparable from the support of the good family! But anyone who donates money and materials to the noble family of the empire free of charge can get a pair of ink treasures written by me, and I will give them the name of the good house! This title can be compared to the seven-rank noble! If you want more power, then donate more!"
Su Yu said with a smile: "Guo Da, go back and send someone to draw up a form and sell it at the price! Remember, don't sell the four products and above." ”
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, Emperor, you are a grandiose traitor!
"Your Majesty, this is a bit of a big deal, right? If they all come to buy officials, I am afraid that it will bring a bad atmosphere and affect the local officials' governance. ”
Guo Da hesitated for a while, but still chose to persuade the emperor: "Emperor, the minister thinks that the profits obtained by Mr. Zhuge Tobacco and Alcohol Trading House are enough for the national treasury, and there is no need to pay for money, right?"
"You know what? It's not too much money!"
Su Yu smiled lightly, and said in a sly tone: "Besides, I haven't finished talking yet! When you have sold the first batch of official positions, the Ministry of Officials will send someone to adjust the law, and add the regulations on official and civil positions mentioned last time, starting with the fourth grade! Officials below the fourth rank, except for the privileges in business and military service, all others will be abolished. ”
Come on, the emperor is really cunning!
Let the noble gate lords of the seven counties spend money to buy a noble name, but they don't give them benefits!
Although this move may make these noble gate lords hold a grudge, Su Yu doesn't care, he is worried that there is no excuse to solve the deep-rooted family gate lords in the seven major counties, if the family gate lords in the seven major counties are dissatisfied with Su Yu, he can take this opportunity to exterminate them in one fell swoop!
You say that the family has a lot of influence, and it has a lot of resources and talent in the upper class?
Maybe other emperors will be afraid of the strength of these families, and they can't do without the support of these people, but only Su Yu is not afraid.
With the support of the university scholars, the Yanhuang Martial School, the lord's altar of the system, Zhuge Liang's tobacco and alcohol trading house, the support of the imperial capital's family, and the civil and military officials who have completely returned to their hearts, etc., Su Yu has completely realized the concentration of power and the power in his hands.
is a mere family, how could it be possible to shackle Su Yu's footsteps.
Moreover, the reason why Su Yu didn't want to use too much of the wealth of the tobacco and alcohol trading houses was the idea of beating the family gate valves of the seven major counties in the country.
There are three months, which is enough for Su Yu to clean up the tumors of a large number of family gate valves.
No matter how bad it is, you can fight a group and support a group.
Su Yu wanted to ensure the concentration of all materials, wealth, and population in the country, so that he could better meet the later targets of the anti-Su Yu alliance and the very likely war situation.
Su Yu retracted some of his wandering thoughts, he looked down at the hundred officials, smiled and asked, "Do you Aiqing have anything to do?"
"We have nothing to do. ”
Hundreds of officials have surrendered.
"Hmm. ”
Su Yu nodded indifferently and said softly, "I have something." ”
The officials looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Our emperor is really different. Normally, even if the emperor had any ideas to propose, he would communicate with his confidants the day before and put them forward through the mouths of the ministers; in this way, the correctness of the ideas could be tested, and secondly, the situation that the officials did not dare to put forward different opinions because of the emperor's status.
But Su Yu didn't, if he had any ideas, he would only say them himself, and most of what he said was some shocking ideas.
"Ministry of Justice, have you done what I said about women's art learning last time, and how are the preparations for the girls' school?"
Su Yu asked indifferently.
Everyone trembled, the emperor hadn't forgotten this matter!
The emperor intended to improve the social status of women at the court meetings several times before, but the officials tried to admonish him, and the women in the seven counties responded very little, so the matter was delayed.
"Back to the emperor's words, the minister has arranged for craftsmen to build the Yanhuang Girls' School and the University Scholar Women's Mansion in the imperial capital, but there are very few women who take the initiative to learn art, mainly because there are no talented women to serve as teachers, so this matter is difficult to continue. ”
The official Shangshu walked up and sighed softly.
"Emperor, the minister has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Guo Da stepped forward and said respectfully.
Say. ”
Su Yu nodded his chin.
"Emperor, since ancient times, women's status has been low, and this is the case in the four continents; this is a concept that is deeply rooted in the marrow of the people, if you rashly make some policies to promote women, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil, and it is not in line with etiquette. ”
Guo Da carefully worded and said cautiously.
Fortunately, the emperor was open-minded and accepted advice, and generally did not condemn the courtiers who raised objections.
"This matter, our monarchs and ministers have been noisy many times, and I don't bother to explain it anymore. ”
Su Yu waved his hand and pointed at Huang Zhongyi, the secretary of the military department.
"Huang Zhongyi, you come out and talk about the current military service situation in Yanhuang!"
Su Yu's voice was cold, and the jade crown bead curtain covered his eyes, making it impossible to see whether Su Yu's expression was happy or angry.
"Wow. ”
Huang Zhongyi stood up and said respectfully: "Emperor Qiyu, since recruiting a million Qin troops and expanding the Tiger Ben Army and Zhuge Repeater Army, and then streamlining and promoting a number of city guards in various places and expanding the number of troops in Southern, Eastern, and Western Frontiers. ”
"At present, there are very few people in the domestic army, and it is winter, and there are very few people in the seven major counties who took the initiative to serve in the army last month, less than 10,000; fortunately, the military service of the domestic population this year is barely completed, and the minister is afraid that after the spring begins tomorrow, I am afraid that there will be no one to correspond to the military service. ”
Huang Zhongyi said with a sigh.
"I understand everything, right? There are no men who respond to military service, I don't need women, who else can I use!"
Su Yu's voice was cold.
"Emperor, I don't agree with General Huang's words; although the population of Yan and Huang is not much, the combined population of the seven major counties should barely exceed 100 million, right? How can no one respond to military service? Could it be that hundreds of millions of men do not love their family and country?"
A military general stood up and arched his hand and said: "The normal annual military service requirement is only 500,000, and those who serve can be discharged from the army in five years, and the military salary given by the emperor is more than five times richer than that of the previous dynasty. ”
"All the people of my Yanhuang Empire are patriotic and talented men, but there are more than 100 million men ......"
Before General Huang could speak, Hubu Shangshu stood up and said with a sneer: "Hmph! I'm afraid General Chen is dizzy, right? The population of my Yanhuang Empire is only more than 80 million! Among them, there are less than 20 million men! There are 60 million women's football women! Where are more than 100 million men!"
Mention: The land area of the Yanhuang Empire is similar to that of Huaxia, but the Chengtian Empire and the Orc Empire fought for thousands of years in the previous dynasty, so the current population of the Yanhuang Empire is extremely small, and the real population is less than 100 million.
