Chapter 533: Black-box operation

Negotiations in the West are in full swing, but the Ming Dynasty in the East has ushered in the biggest prosperity in the seven years of the Jiajing Dynasty!

Jiajing Emperor Draft Ceremony!

As soon as they enter the palace gate, they are as deep as the sea, for the real ladies, they do not have much will to enter the palace to be concubines for the emperor, and even when the dynasty is in decline, as soon as the people hear that the emperor is going to be drafted, they can't wait to match their daughters out, because they naturally don't want their daughters to jump into the bottomless fire pit.

But it did not exist in the Jiajing Dynasty......

There was not a single draft in the real sense of the Jiajing Dynasty, the first year of Jiajing was a draft after the draft, but it was not a draft, and in the end, only Xue Zhilei became the queen alone, and the rest of the female emperors who stood out did not stay, and all of them were married to the best generals in the army!

It's been seven years, and there are still only a few women in Emperor Jiajing's harem, Emperor Jiajing is not a lover like his father, nor is he a forced love saint like Emperor Wen of Sui, let alone a hungry ghost in his brother's horn, so a few women are obviously not enough.

Inside and outside the Manchu Dynasty, to be honest, as long as they have beautiful girls of the right age, almost all of them have prayed for the emperor's draft, because only the emperor's draft has a chance!

At this time, what to talk about as soon as you enter the palace gate is as deep as the sea, it is simply pure nonsense, the fewer women in Emperor Jiajing, the greater the chance of promotion for women, the wealthy and powerful do not want their daughters to be just women at the bottom of the emperor, but what if they can be crowned concubines?

It is estimated that the world's wealthy families will flock to it!

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the opportunity!

It is no secret that the emperor wants to expand the territory and divide the princes to establish a new dynasty overseas, and it is no secret in the world, how big the world is, not to mention that the emperor has no reason to favor one over the other.

It is said that the Americas are vast, almost as big as four Ming Dynasty, and Australia, compared with the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is also about the same, and the prince is divided overseas, which is an absolute real power vassal king......

It is not accurate to describe it as a vassal king, it should be said that it is the same as the Dawu Dynasty opened up by Emperor Zhengde in Western Europe, it is to occupy a large piece of territory and open the country as an emperor!

That's a Taizu!

Five Ming Dynasty is so big, how many countries can be opened?

Not to mention, more than ten or twenty are always sure, then ten or twenty princes are needed!

Now Emperor Jiajing only has four sons, according to this calculation, there is at least a gap of twenty or thirty!

Why? You've got to count the dead in the middle, right......

The opportunity is too great, who doesn't want their grandson to be the emperor, isn't this?

Now Emperor Jiajing, under the strong request of the Empress Dowager and Manchu officials, the emperor finally agreed to the draft!

Here's your chance!

It doesn't matter whether it's a noble or a rich gentry or a small citizen, whether it's a southern or northern Zhili or Shandong, Shanxi, Hunan, and Hubei, but anyone who knows that the emperor is going to be drafted and there are school-age girls at home immediately go to the government to sign up, and most of them are the gentry who arranged their daughters into the people's households.

This is nothing more than avoiding suspicion and background, such as businessmen......

The status of Shangjia in the Jiajing Dynasty has improved many times compared to other dynasties, but after all, it is a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the ideology is so easy to change.

As for the powerful and wealthy, it is even simpler, because they know that officials do not want to see them, and the draft starts from the primary election, and the primary election is generally the official of the local government and even the capital, that is, the original Ministry of Rites, and now the Ministry of Rites and Music, so in order to allow officials to choose their own girls, they change their identities, pay bribes, and use all the means that should be used......

But soon a message spread throughout the world!

The emperor announced to the world that all the daughters who participated in the draft would be recorded in real books, but all impersonators would be eliminated, and in addition, all those who were under the age of 16 and over 22 years old would not be selected!

The first one is easy to say, after all, as long as you change it back, but the second one is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!

At this time, there is no marriage law in the Ming Dynasty, and the marriage of folk women is usually thirteen or fourteen years old, and the younger ones even have twelve years old and even child daughters-in-law, and the marriage of women from high-ranking families is slightly later, but it is normal to make a promise at the age of sixteen or seventeen or become relatives directly.

As for the eighteen-year-old...... That's definitely an old girl, don't say you can't find a good family if you drag it down, I'm afraid that my parents will be pointed at behind me and poke my backbone.

Twenty, twenty-two...... Twenty-five......

Hehe, then it's not an old girl, and there is no older leftover girl, it's just that no one wants it, there is a problem, and the name of the stone girl is added up, and at this age, it is more appropriate to be a nun.

Zhu Houwei set the range of eighteen to twenty-five at the beginning, and was immediately sprayed back by a few old guys, what the hell is this a joke.

It's easy to find something at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and up to the age of twenty...... If you really find it like this, it is estimated that the important ministers in charge of the draft, such as Comrade Jiang Mian, can be sprayed into a sieve by the saliva of the world......

Finally, at the insistence of the ministers, the minimum age limit was relaxed to sixteen years and the upper limit to twenty years.

However, according to the minister's meaning, the lower limit is thirteen and the upper limit is seventeen, which was sternly rejected by Zhu Houwei!

Just kidding, Thirteen ...... That's a crime, and it's better than a beast!

However, in this way, those who have older leftover girls in the family are very happy, and there is even a wave of divorce in various places!

You must know that in the feudal era, it was a complete shame to be divorced, and it was not uncommon for the two families to turn against each other in the end, but in the face of such a great opportunity as the emperor's draft, the vast majority of people expressed their understanding.

If you are chosen, the two families will be honored together, and if you are not chosen, you will continue to get married, and this phenomenon can almost be regarded as unprecedented and spectacle......

In April, the show girls from all over the world came to the capital under the escort of various government offices, and the capital was full of flowers and beautiful for a while.

Jiang Mian is busy with his feet not touching the ground, as the head of the Ministry of Rites and Music, his main job at this stage is to be responsible for reviewing the age, origin and so on of the show girl.

So the black-box operation came into being......

Lack of age, but with background, talent, and good appearance, those who are over 20 years old, have no background, and their appearance is not to the point of disaster to the country and the people......

Don't think that the woman chosen for the emperor will be the same as Xi Shi Diao Chan will not destroy the emperor's fighting spirit, and even make the king indulge in beauty from now on, and make a king not early dynasty, that's all!

The Manchu Dynasty now only feels that the emperor's fighting spirit is too strong, and he wishes that Emperor Jiajing could indulge in beauty and can't extricate himself......

What's more, they are all men, and there are still bad sex among men?

What is the purpose of the draft? It's to let the emperor be a stallion, you get some mediocre women into the palace, the emperor doesn't even have the interest to carry a gun into battle, so he is still a fart stallion......
