Yaoguang Temple is such a sensitive place, as Gao Cheng, who is the Great Wei Zhongliang, he will definitely not set foot in a single step.

But under his instruction, the people inside can sneak out of the temple at night.

Gao Cheng brought enough small objects made of animal casings or fish bladders, and he was afraid that the other party would become pregnant and cause a scandal.

As for who invented this small object, it is definitely not Gao Cheng, it may be Gao Longzhi's trick.

Xiao Gaowang really doesn't fight for merit, and there is no other reason, it's just that the father of what is a little ugly.

However, when I got there, I realized that this was not a one-on-one Buddhist lesson.

"Please also ask the general to take pity on the concubine's body, save me and wait for me to get out of Yaoguang Temple, and the concubine is willing to serve the general as a slave."

A group of young concubines of twenty-five and six, under the leadership of Queen Yuen Long, bowed to him.

Gao Cheng hesitated at this time, he planned to pick out only being a dewy couple, if he wanted, he would stay, and if he didn't, he would leave.

It was impossible for him to bring these concubines into the house, not because he was worried about public opinion.

No matter how much it is criticized, it will not have much impact on Gao Cheng's notoriety.

What worries him is the restlessness of the house.

Listening to their self-declared identities, these people are not only the wives and concubines of Yuen Long, Yuan Gong, and Yuan Ye, but even the concubines of Emperor Xiaoming and Emperor Xiaozhuang, who once competed with Er Zhu Ying'e.

That's right, 9 years ago, Emperor Xiaoming Yuanxu was only 18 years old when he died, and 7 years ago, Emperor Xiaozhuang Yuanzi was only 24 years old when he died.

Not everyone is as obsessed with the royal sister as Gao Cheng.

They are all hard-working people, who have survived their youth in Yaoguang Temple.

Now give these concubines an empty promise, maybe they can enjoy the joy of the world.

But when he always coaxes his subordinates, Gao Cheng, whose face is not red and his heart is not beating, has never been able to say that good word.

Perhaps it is the conscience of modern man that makes him unbearable to deceive these miserable people.

Desire subsided, reason regained the high ground of intelligence, and Gao Cheng helped these women up one by one.

"What you ask, know everything, if there is any change in the society in the future, I will open the temple door and send a decent livelihood, let you wait to stay, and do not mention it again."

There are precedents for so many powerful ministers of the Southern Dynasty to usurp the country, and there is no need for Gao Cheng to say in detail what will happen to Sheji.

"Is the general disgusted with the concubine's body and ruined willows?"

There was a beautiful woman crying.

Seeing that the faces of the delicate concubines in the room were all gloomy, Gao Cheng had to explain:

"If you have this intention, how can you come here today, you are going to leave this Yaoguang Temple, you will have the opportunity, what Cheng can do, that's all, the night is dark, the wife and concubine at home boiled sugar water and waited, don't pass by."

With that, Gao Cheng turned around and left directly.

Watching Gao Cheng stride away, many women were disappointed, and many of them wanted to enter the Bohai Palace, rather than really leave the Yaoguang Temple to work hard to make a living.

Although Yaoguang Temple is lonely, life is worry-free and pampered.

In the final analysis, I still envy Erzhu Ying'e and Xiao Erzhu, who should be like them and go to Yaoguang Temple to endure hardship, give birth to children for the 17-year-old minister, and still enjoy honor.

Besides, I heard that the appearance of the powerful minister was handsome.

This instigated the timid Queen Yuen Long to come forward and invite.

Gao Cheng stayed away from Yaoguang Temple, but he was not in a hurry to return home, first went to visit Li Zuyi and Yuan Jingyi, Gao Cheng met with everyone in the side room, and finally stayed in Yuan Mingyue's courtyard.

In order to prevent the back house from competing for favor, Gao Cheng simply played the rotation, resting in each courtyard for a night, and coming in turn.

Yuan Zhonghua was raised in the Qinghe Palace, Li Zu'e stayed in his hometown in Hebei, and Gao Cheng had nine female dependents by his side.

When the manpower is exhausted, it will be impossible to take care of it for a while, but I have to visit them one by one every day to make them feel their concern.

Gao Cheng was laughing and teasing in his arms with his eldest daughter Ah Mi in Yuan Mingyue's house.

Including the second daughter Guo'er, who was born a day late, they have long lost the wrinkled appearance they had when they were first born when they were half a year old.

Especially Ah Mi, with a pair of big eyes and dark eyes, looks like her mother Yuan Mingyue.

Aunt Mingyue is not young anymore, as the oldest existence of the female dependents, the 29-year-old Yuan Mingyue has a little more charm than before.

This is something that the people in their twenties, even sixteen or seventeen, do not have.

handed over the obstructive Ah Mi to the nurse to sleep, and after some clouds and rain, the two of them, who are also old husbands and wives, hugged each other and slept together.

Soon it was the New Year's Festival again, and Taichang's six years came to an end.

During this period, the policy was steadily advanced, and a new decree was also being prepared.

Looking back on the past year, the defeat of the Western Expedition led to financial depletion.

This is not just the consumption of food, but also the bereavement of the families of the deceased.

If there is a shortage of this, who can be expected to work for you?

Gao Cheng promulgated a series of decrees, such as recovering the right to mint coinage, rectifying the salt administration, etc., and turned to Buddhism, and after the dry finances were a little more relaxed, in addition to the great promotion of culture and education, and the construction of schools, Gao Cheng also handed over the arrears of the people's pension.

At the beginning of the year, when the finances were difficult, he only cared about the families of the soldiers, and Gao Cheng could only give a small amount of relief to the dead people to ensure that their families would not starve to death.

Now that they have some surplus, even if they bring their children to remarry, Gao Cheng also gives them a due pension.

The people's pension is much lower than that of the soldiers and soldiers, but it can't stand the number of people, Gao Cheng calculated, and after removing the salaries of the soldiers and officials, as well as the cost of the imperial examination in the coming year, the finances are already tight.

This is mainly due to the sharp reduction in taxes this year.

At the beginning of the year, 400,000 people followed Gao Huan's westward expedition, resulting in 400,000 households being exempt from taxes this year, which is the main reason.

The release of slaves by the big families cannot increase tax revenue, they are not hidden households, and under the system of granting land to slaves and maids, this group of people is a tax-paying group.

Gao Cheng hopes that there will be another Buddhism so that he can be fed.

More than 500,000 Chinese and foreign soldiers in the Eastern Wei Dynasty needed more than 2 million households to support them, and Buddhism alone, the addition of lay monks and nuns and the hidden households sheltered by Buddhism, was no less than 15.6 million households.

Raising an army for the Gao family almost single-handedly is not a joke.

In addition to being grateful to Buddhism, Gao Cheng couldn't help but reverie, a few years have passed, where the foursome has gone, and how many people are left.

Putting these distractions aside, this year was crucial for the Eastern Wei regime.

Needless to say, Gao Cheng reformed the official election system, abolished the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, and created the significance of the imperial examination system, but the most important thing is whether the first imperial examination can be held smoothly next year.

A unified dynasty can appropriately delegate power to the localities, but in the three-legged establishment, the state controlled by the powerful ministers weakens the local government and enriches the central government, which must be done.

On the one hand, Gao Cheng granted high-ranking officials a good fortune, and on the other hand, he gradually disintegrated the military strength of the Shi clan by searching the hidden households and forcing the slaves to be released.

Even the rectification of the salt administration and the ban on the minting of private coins seem to be enriching the central government's finances on the surface, but their connotation is not to weaken the economic strength of the scholars.

The military strength and economic strength have been disintegrated and weakened, and the current Kwantung clan can indeed be called a problem.

There is still a chapter of 3000 words before twelve o'clock, and I will go home tomorrow, and the update will also be two chapters, and it will be back to normal the day after tomorrow.
