Chapter 160 The surface is all isms, but the inside is all interests

After Zhu Jingyuan took notes, he continued to watch An Xiaona and the three show off their clothes.

After having a practical feeling for the upper body effect of the "capitalist suit", let An Xiaona and the three of them change into other clothes:

"I don't have to come out after changing, I'll go in and see ......"

The three little girls didn't react, so they agreed as a matter of course and went back to change their clothes.

Chu Yuqiang and the craftsmen were all smiling.

When they made the clothes themselves, they realized the characteristics of the leftover clothes.

Only the men's "capitalist suit" is suitable for large-scale promotion and sales in the market.

The other two sets of women's clothes with skirts only reaching the knees are definitely not suitable for women's rolls to wear directly out of the door.

It is estimated that it is used in the backyard of the palace.

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan himself was originally going to let An Xiaona and the three of them wear it, but the discussion just now reminded Zhu Jingyuan.

Women now show their legs, both in the East and the West, and are considered immoral.

Of course, I can't let my company's subordinates wear immoral clothes to show outsiders.

Although he doesn't feel anything in his heart, it may affect his reputation as a prince and the reputation of his female subordinates.

This time, the three girls were slow to change their clothes, and Zhu Jingyuan waited for nearly ten minutes before Mama came out and invited herself in.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw three completely modern girls standing in the middle of the antique room.

Slim white shirt and short suit, knee-length slim tube skirt, simple pumps, silk tie and silk over-the-knee stockings.

Wearing this modern women's professional attire, the three little girls are even more unnatural.

Although the whole body is tightly wrapped, there is nothing directly exposed.

But the clothes are all slim, and the lines of the body are fully displayed.

There are also strange skirts and high heels, which make people have to walk carefully.

But now it's in the room, and there is only the housekeeper and His Royal Highness the Prince, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

So they all stood there reluctantly and calmly, letting Zhu Jingyuan watch the effect of his dress.

An Xiaona, the most lively, also took the initiative to comment:

"Your Highness, you designed these high-heeled shoes so much better than anything we've seen before.

"The heel is the highest level, but it's not hard to wear......

Zhu Jingyuan looked at the three of them, and the feeling in his heart was very wonderful.

This kind of dress was originally intended for modern mature women, and it can show their femininity very well.

But the clothes themselves are completely unrevealing, so they can be worn in formal public places.

These three little girls are all children, and their bodies can basically be regarded as "straight", of course, there is no feminine charm.

However, the little girl wears a men's suit and has a very special feeling.

When a little girl wears a suit of a mature professional woman, she has another special feeling.

But either way, it's a lot of fun.

Zhu Jingyuan listened to An Xiaona's words, and immediately asked with interest:

"How old are you and you've worn high heels before?"

An Xiaona immediately explained endlessly:

"I've seen it at home before, the structure of the shoe, and the foot is put in a posture where the toes are gripping the ground.

"It's hard to walk a few extra steps, so basically no one goes out in clothes.

"His Highness designed this kind of shoes, the posture is the same as normal tiptoeing, and the whole soles of the feet are supported.

"I feel like I can go out with it straight away.

"This is the dress...... Hey...... It's really too short......"

An Xiaona laughed as she spoke, and reached out to stroke the skirt at her knees:

"If we go out dressed like this, we will probably be arrested by the police......"

Zhu Jingyuan immediately sighed again, these two girls from the merchant family really have seen too much.

This lively personality is really likable.

But it's still too small, and you have to raise it for a few years before you can use it......

Zhu Jingyuan shook his head with a smile and said:

"Then don't wear it out of the house, just wear it at home, go and change into another dress for me to see......"

Zhu Jingyuan said and entered the bedroom inside, and did not go to the living room to wait again.

The three little girls immediately moved, and the simple change of skirt was very fast, and it was solved in less than three minutes.

Now the professional uniform has become the college uniform, but the three of them forgot to change their shoes and are still wearing high heels, which looks nondescript.

Zhu Jingyuan came out again, asked them to change their shoes into student leather shoes, and looked around them again.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, he asked them to change into their last shirts.

The last outfit is a sailor suit, a pleated skirt, and student leather shoes.

The version is not slim, it is more convenient to put on and take off, and the pleated skirt is also convenient for movement.

However, the top of the sailor suit is relatively short, so it will not be good to stand normally, but as long as you raise your arms and move, a little tender flesh on your waist will occasionally be exposed.

However, as long as it is not a particularly large amount of activity, it will not leak out of the navel.

That's the wonder of a sailor suit that's cut just right.

The skirt can be placed to cover the knees and thighs, but a little movement can show some of it.

This is also the subtlety of knee-length pleated skirts.

The three little girls had apparently noticed these problems, so they didn't dare to move, and stood there with their heads bowed and didn't speak.

Zhu Jingyuan sat down behind his book and nodded slightly as he looked at the three of them.

The image of the three little girls is very good, and they have a very comic sense with this dress.

It's just that skirts that cover the knees are conservative in modern times, but they are really too radical in this era.

Their current outfits, whether in the East or the West, are indispensable to have immoral labels, which are more serious than the ones just now.

It is probably in the private room and on the occasion of Fengyue, so that ordinary people will not be pointed at.

Obviously, it is impossible to wear it out normally no matter what.

Zhu Jingyuan put one hand on his cheeks, looking at the appearance of the three little girls slightly distracted.

So much so that the grandmothers in the room became nervous.

What she cares about is not the three little girls, but Zhu Jingyuan, the prince of the imperial grandson.

Zhu Jingyuan is only fifteen years old this year, and according to the rules of the royal family, he can only break after the New Year.

If Zhu Jingyuan makes an exception here, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, so he has to be careful.

In fact, Zhu Jingyuan didn't think about it at all, and Zhu Jingyuan was thinking about deeper social issues.

Which groups are more favorable to a relatively conservative social climate, a relatively open enough social atmosphere?

For the traditional aristocracy and the middle and lower class ordinary people, it seems to be relatively advantageous.

Nobles could take advantage of the privilege of taking concubines in an open and honest manner.

Ordinary people can rely on the conservative social atmosphere and the harsh laws made by the aristocracy to ensure the safety of their own family daughters.

In this social environment, adultery is an absolute felony.

The Ming Law clearly stipulates that the husband can directly kill both adulterers without being guilty when he is caught committing adultery.

The damaged people may include people who are not engaged in production, who are street ruffians all day long, or Ximen Qing and others who covet other people's families.

Such people are the most common participants in adultery, and if they are caught, they will have to shed their skin if they do not die.

Or they are a group of merchants who have money but no status, they can't have more concubines, and money can't bring enough enjoyment.

Especially after the Renwu Dynasty, the enforcement of various laws became more and more strict, and at the same time, it was completely forbidden to enslave the Ming people.

This conservative atmosphere has also become beneficial to the ordinary women of the Ming Dynasty.

Either enter an ordinary family as a wife, or enter a powerful family as a concubine.

Don't worry about being called a concubine, but you will be a slave.

In the Ming Dynasty, a concubine is not the same as a slave.

However, the premise is that it is a real and legal concubine.

Da Ming law, commoners, over forty years old, no children, can take a concubine.

A concubine who meets this condition is a legal concubine who has the status of a family under the law and is a formal family member.

Legal concubines have the same official documents as wives, but it is clear that their family status is subordinate to their wives.

But a concubine is definitely not a slave.

Neither husband nor wife can beat and scold at will, let alone sell or give away.

Killing a concubine is, of course, also punishable by homicide.

It's just that, before the Renwu Dynasty, in most cases, many nominal concubines were essentially just slaves.

If the man is less than forty years old, or his wife has already given birth to a son, then any concubines are illegal, and they are all slaves when they come in.

Or a man claims to be a concubine, but there is no official paperwork and is still legally considered a slave.

Even the lowly musicians who were originally bought back in batches, kept at home for entertainment or specially given away.

This practical environment has led to the erroneous perception that many people have the status of a concubine as a slave and can be transferred or even sold at will.

It's not that the status of concubines is equal to slaves, but that many slaves are borrowing the name of concubines, so it sounds nice, so that the master and servant hypnotize each other.

After arriving in the Renwu Dynasty, it was completely forbidden to enslave the Ming people, and even if the prince did it, he would be punished according to the law.

The situation of being a slave in the name of a concubine has finally been basically eliminated.

Of course, the ruling class is privileged.

Those who have meritorious fame can take one concubine, and officials can take two concubines.

The royal family, the prince has ten concubines, four princes and county kings, three generals, and two lieutenants.

This amount is stipulated by Ming Taizu, and it is much lower than the number of women these people can actually get.

Therefore, before the Renwu Dynasty, even if they had this privilege, these people would still illegally take concubines and refer to slaves as concubines.

It was not until after the Renwu Dynasty that these regulations were truly strictly enforced, and the situation of slaves as concubines was fully corrected.

Later, it was even overkill, and most of the clans did not have the required number of concubines.

Zhu Jingyuan's father, Zhu Jianyan, is a prince, and according to the regulations, he can take ten concubines, but in fact there are only four concubines.

Why did ancient dynasties limit the number of concubines for nobles and wealthy merchants?

Universal marriage is an important foundation for the stability of the dynasty, and people with wives and children are not afraid to make trouble.

Assuming that too many women became concubines of nobles and wealthy families, a large number of lower-class men would be left without wives, and it was difficult to predict what a bachelor could do.

In the absence of any management at all, male fertility may also lean towards the 28th rule.

That is, eighty percent of newborns will be left by two percent of men, and the other eighty percent of men will only leave two percent of offspring.

The aristocratic class could not possess a large number of women, wealthy families could not refer to slaves as concubines, and ordinary people of the middle and lower classes could marry relatively normally.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty can be stable.

At the same time, after the Renwu Dynasty, the Ming began to expand in full force.

While prohibiting the people of the Ming Dynasty from being slaves, the people were allowed to purchase and use foreign slaves.

The wealthy business class was able to buy foreign slave girls to meet their needs.

The current slaves must be foreigners, and the concubines are only Korean maids and maids in addition to the Ming people.

Whether it is a Ming aristocrat or a commoner, men and women who pursue a stable life tend to maintain the original relatively conservative atmosphere.

On the other hand, the group that opposes conservatism and favors openness is actually not large.

Whether it's ruffians and ill-intentioned people, or women who are naturally inclined to seek thrills and experiences, they are only a tiny minority in society as a whole.

The main force that really promotes the opening up of the social atmosphere is actually the owners of the manufacturers.

Proprietors who do not have aristocratic status and fame can also buy foreign slaves for entertainment, but business is a more important thing.

Women make up more than half of society's potential workers.

The cost of employing citizen women as workers is actually lower than buying foreign slaves to do the work.

The relatively conservative social atmosphere makes women's families and women themselves do not want to work in the factory, and even if they are allowed, they will be extra cautious.

In particular, when the social productive forces have developed greatly, the husband can support the whole family by working alone, and the woman can be a full-time wife.

Is there any reason for women to get out of the house and work in factories as well?

The proprietors of manufacturers, the new elite group, and the bourgeoisie chose to spare no effort to promote the female market and advocate an open and free social atmosphere.

The emancipation of women can reduce the cost of production in two directions.

As more labour enters the market, the bargaining power of workers themselves decreases, and jobs that can be done by both men and women are handed over to women.

At the same time, since women can come out to work, there is no need to pay men to support the whole family alone.

The remuneration of both spouses to work in order to support the family will become the new "reasonable" remuneration for labor.

From this point of view, female *** is actually the same as abolition, and is essentially profit-driven.

Only things that are related to practical interests can be promoted by people who spare no effort and can truly achieve long-term success.

As for openness in sexual relations, adultery is legal and irresponsible, and is only a by-product.

Zhu Jingyuan's current identity is actually very contradictory, he is not only the top Ming noble, but he may even become a ruler.

But Zhu Jingyuan is also a manufacturer operator.

Zhu Jingyuan thought about it, and four words slowly came out of his mind:

"Do nothing."

That is, neither against nor support.

What is not objected to is that women learn and master knowledge and take the initiative to play a greater role.

There will be no punishment for women who show up for the sake of life.

Just like many traditions of the Central Dynasty, it is not a matter of going out with only pants, a woman dressed as a man, or a dragon and a mirror.

When it comes to the oppression of women and other special groups, the Central Dynasty is really insignificant in front of Xiyi.

What is not supported is anyone who fuels the flames in related matters, and anyone who pretends to be a ghost around related topics for personal gain.

Continue to severely punish those who force good people to become prostitutes and induce red apricots to go out of the wall.

Continue to severely punish those who voluntarily commit adultery and wild partners.

To put it bluntly, it is to protect the real honest people, and most of them are honest people, both men and women.

This is the tradition of the Central Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingyuan's attention returned to his eyes again, looked at the three girls in front of him and said:

"Just wear this dress at home, but don't wear it out of the house......"

An Xiaona subconsciously said:

"Even if His Highness allows us, we won't dare to wear it out......"

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded:

"Put away the clothes you gave you today, go back and pack up the rest of your things, and you should be home in two days."

The three girls immediately let out a small cheer.

Although the three outfits are very weird, they are also very interesting, and maybe they will be of great use, so the three of them are very happy.

And it's finally going to the Ming Dynasty, and it's finally going to the Celestial Empire Jingshi, the largest city in the world.

It's also a matter of course to be happy.
