The restructuring has come to this point, which makes Zhu Yijun feel very gratified. In particular, abandoned babies and foot binding are finally prohibited, which undoubtedly means that the civilization of the Ming Dynasty has improved a lot.

After all, the direct victims of abandoned babies and foot binding are two of the most vulnerable groups in the Empire. And these two groups have begun to be protected, which naturally shows that the characteristics of Daming's ruthlessness and external charm are slowly changing.

The ice of conservatism is really breaking. In fact. Zhu Yijun has long had the idea of banning abandoned babies and banning foot binding.

But he knows very well that the root cause of abandoned babies and foot binding is not that the common people are ignorant, cruel and impolite, but that the ruling class of this society still needs such a phenomenon to exist in order to meet its own ruling needs.

The biggest root cause is the idea of the weak and the foolish people. Rulers like to be ruled by themselves in a cheaper and more manipulative way.

In this way, there is naturally a phenomenon that Han people are worthless, and even newborn Han babies can be discarded and bought and sold at will.

At the same time, there is a sick aesthetic of liking foot binding and thin horses in the whole society, after all, foot binding and thin horses are easier to control.

And the essence of this idea of the weak people and the foolish people is because after the agricultural civilization has developed to the extreme, if it does not expand externally, it can only maintain its rule through the way of the weak people.

After all, the growth of the cake is too slow to increase productivity alone. Therefore, if there is no external expansion, the cake will not be able to grow rapidly and cannot meet the needs of the rapid increase in population and people's desires, so it is necessary to make the people easier to be controlled and continuously weakened.

After all, in order for everyone to live in dignity, the cake must grow faster than the population grows, given that the rulers will become more and more greedy.

It's just that the population of Daming is too much! External expansion requires a large share of the benefits to satisfy everyone's appetite.

Otherwise, if it is just a small fight, it is the same as the nomads who send hundreds of rangers into the pass to plunder and send tens of thousands of troops to grab a few cattle and sheep.

This kind of expansion, for Daming, is more than worth the loss. Therefore, if such a huge empire as the Ming Dynasty wants to turn foreign expansion into good governance that will benefit the future, rather than a bad government that is reckless and burdensome to the people and the country, it needs the ruling class not to be lazy, and needs to expand externally in a coordinated and scientific manner, and also has higher requirements for the ruling class in terms of ability.

But everyone has inertia. For the ruling class, it is easier and easier to suppress the needs of the people at home, or even their own.

What's more, history has proven that it is easy to bite the front teeth at the first bite in a foreign war, and even break the muscles and bones, prompting the emergence of civil strife and then the overthrow of the community.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun did not dare to let Daming accelerate his progress, including the idea of prohibiting foot binding and abandoning infants.

He only informed Yu Youding of such an idea first, and ordered Yu Youding, who went south to inspect the customs and etiquette and school, and ordered Yu Youding to discuss it with the ministers after visiting the people.

That's the case. Even if the imperial court really wanted to ban foot binding and abandoned babies, it was not the intention of the emperor alone, but the reformers in the bureaucracy agreed.

Zhu Yijun did not have to fear that the bureaucracy would not be able to keep up with his beat, and in the end even the reformers would oppose him.

Nowadays, the remnant snow is gradually melting away from the cold for the spring breeze, Zhu Yijun looked at the mountain flower bag and didn't say anything, but added a lot of expectations in his heart that he might really be better protected by himself.

……

"The restructuring has come to this point!" A cold spring just froze the river, and on the upper floor of Yifengyue outside the Chongwen Gate, Li Sancai and Fan Yingzhi, Yang Youren and other gentlemen came to sit here to discuss politics and listen to music, in order to survive the spring cold.

And after singing a song, Li Sancai took a sip of hot tea and sighed. Guozi priest Jiu Fan Yingji also said: "Foot binding and abandoning babies are banned because of this, this is certainly what benevolent government should be, but how can changing customs be changed in one day, how can it be done gradually?" Yang Youren smiled and said: "Let's wait, the reform will not last long, the ancestors and the ancients have chosen to follow the things, naturally there is a reason that he will not be wasted, and it will not be so easy to eliminate!" Even if Empress Gao of this dynasty is Tianzu, what if it is said that Heaven's will also advocates Tianzu? How can the will of the people in the world really follow the sky? Li Sancai nodded after hearing this, and put the teacup on the table: "That's exactly what happened!" But the three-inch golden lotus, Yingying can be held, it is more elegant and funny, but now it has been changed, it is really a waste of elegance and vulgarity, which is annoying, and I don't know when it will be able to reproduce the elegant dynasty. ”

"It's coming!"

"There's going to be something big going on this year." Yang Youren said suddenly. Fan Yingzhi hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?" Yang Youren said: "This matter should not be said clearly, just wait for the princess." ”……

"What's the big deal they're talking about?" The celebrant and the eunuch Zhang Whale are on duty. Zhang Whale looked at Bai Yiqing and asked in a low voice.

Bai Yiqing replied: "This Yang Yushi didn't say it explicitly, and it is not good to ask it without authorization, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Then keep staring." Zhang Jing left the master of ceremonies as he spoke, and walked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, but when he walked to the palace gate, he happened to see the eunuch Sun Bin leading someone to talk to the young man who signed up to enter the palace as a eunuch.

Sun Bin was asking someone, "What's your name?" The man replied, "Back to my father-in-law, the little one calls Gu Fengxuan." After hearing this, Sun Bin said: "Take such an elegant name, but is it famous?" This Gu Fengxuan replied: "Yes, it was originally a child. ”

"Then you can't ask for it!"

"There are rules in the inner court, and you can't ask for literate and hyphenated readers." Sun Bin said. Since Shen Shixing reminded Zhang Hongyan to strictly prevent literati from sneaking into the inner court, Zhang Hong really informed Zhu Yijun of this suggestion, and Zhu Yijun therefore asked not to recruit people who knew Chinese hyphens to enter the palace.

Gu Fengxuan's face suddenly showed disappointment after hearing this, and he knelt down and cried: "Father-in-law, give me a chance to be loyal!" Although Xiaomin is a scholar, Xiaomin really wants to enter the palace to serve the country! What's more, Xiaomin has made up his mind to be loyal to his father for the rest of his life, woo! Gu Fengxuan said that he was about to get up and take off his pants: "If your father-in-law doesn't believe it, you can watch it." ”

"Then you can't ask for it!"

"According to the order, those who are self-eunuchs are not only not allowed to enter the inner court, but they should even be sent to prison to be convicted and disposed of!" Sun Bin said.

Gu Fengxuan immediately froze in place. Suddenly, Gu Fengxuan got up and took out a short knife from his sleeve and rushed towards Sun Bin: "You traitors, I want to kill you!" ”

"There are assassins!" At this time, Zhang Jing, who had already come here, hurriedly shouted. The brocade guards in the outer duty room and the brocade guards in the inner duty room both rushed at this time.

And Sun Bin himself fell at this time and grabbed Gu Fengxuan's hand holding the knife with a young eunuch named Tian Yi: "You really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to enter the palace to prohibit killing, who let you bring a sharp blade into the palace?!" But Gu Fengxuan was still struggling, and he sneered, and at the same time glanced in the direction of the north of the Forbidden City.

Zhang Jing also followed his gaze at this time, and then saw smoke rising in the direction of the Middle Palace.

"Oops!"

"It's the middle palace that has gone to water! The middle palace where the master and the mother are in! Bai Yiqing said at this time. Zhang Whale suddenly collapsed to the ground, cold sweat broke out, and looked at Gu Fengxuan, and said in a deep voice: "Escort him to the edict first, you go in person, don't let him die!" ”
