Entering the main hall of the council, the ministers were all wearing court clothes, and the military generals of the ministers were all wearing the same court clothes, dark court clothes, red clothes, wide robes with large sleeves, high crowns on their heads, and a pair of soft cloud boots under their feet.

Of course, in this troubled era, or the era when the martial style has not been completely extinguished, even civil officials can do a little martial arts to strengthen their bodies, so the civil and military generals are all swords to the court, but when they go to the court, they will take off their boots and hand over their swords, so that they can enter the council hall step by step.

However, there are exceptions to this! For example, Shi Min!

Prime Minister Shi Min, because of his great merit, was added by the emperor to Jiuxi, the sword went to the palace, did not enter the court, and praised and worshipped!

What does this mean?

Sword shoes on the hall - the ancients sat on the ground, they had to take off their shoes when entering the room, nobles and ministers wore swords, and the Qin system was not allowed to wear swords in the upper hall. The sword goes to the temple, that is, wears shoes and swords and goes straight to the temple.

Praise and worship without name - When a courtier worships the emperor, the person who praises does not call him by his name, but only by official position. This was a special courtesy given by the emperor to his ministers.

Until the eunuch Liu Ba arrived, shouting: "Your Majesty has arrived!" Only then did the ministers stop talking, lowered their eyebrows, and were silent.

Shi Zun was supported by two chamberlains.

The color is a bone scraper!

These days, Shi Zun's body is not as good as day by day, working the woman's belly, and Shi Zun's previous body bones are strong enough, and he is also a little unbearable.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Qunchen Mountain shouted.

"Flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Shi Zun stood up, and Liu Ba shouted on the side: "Something starts!" Nothing to retreat from! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" The first one to stand up was Shi Min.

"Please."

Shi Min lowered his hand and said: "In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, the minister will reduce unnecessary expenses for the treasury, and specially dismiss the palace maids and return them to their hometowns." However, this matter is not considered, and most of the palace ladies are reluctant to return to their hometowns! ”

Shi Zun yawned impatiently: "King Wei, at this time, I have been handed over to you to dispose of it all. The palace maids don't want to return to their hometowns, so they just send them out. ”

Looking at Shi Zun, who looked like he hadn't woken up, Shi Min frowned, then walked to the front of His Majesty's platform, and said in the middle of the ministers: "Your Majesty, by all means." ”

"Why not?"

"I don't know what Your Majesty thinks, what is the value of the world? What should the state do? ”

"This ......" Shi Zun tilted his head and thought about it, but he didn't come up with it, "I also ask the King of Wei for advice." ”

Shi Min said loudly: "In the world, people are precious!" The country is people-oriented! ”

When the ministers heard this, they were all thoughtful.

Shi Min continued: "In order to save unnecessary expenses for the treasury, the minister can forcibly dismiss the palace maids, but why bother? In the past, when the first emperor was in power, he recruited the world's beautiful women several times to fill the harem, but with the first emperor's own strength, how could he be wet with rain and dew? During the reign of the first emperor, the beauties of the harem reached 200,000 in their heyday! That's more than the population of five or six average counties! ”

"Ministers, you and others are all people of insight, and they should know the importance of population resources! Whether it is the elderly, the weak, women and children, or the young and middle-aged, they can serve the country! The people have high and low, but the strength is not big or small! ”

"Now there are still 120,000 palace maids in the palace, and the lonely king is ready to dismiss 100,000! What effect can these 100,000 palace maids have? It is no exaggeration to say that this is a huge new force! When these 100,000 palace maids leave the palace, become free bodies, marry a good person, and have children, a year later, my Da Zhao will add 100,000 people! Two years later, the population increased by 200,000! Three years later, the population has increased by 300,000! And so on! Within ten years, my Da Zhao will add more than one million newborns! ”

Shi Min used a more exaggerated statement, which is quite realistic.

After all, it is impossible for a woman to have children every year, and with the probability of premature death, this goal is really too big, but it is not impossible to achieve!

When the ministers heard this, they all bowed their heads slightly and expressed their approval.

Shi Min said in a deep voice: "And if you forcibly dismiss these palace maids as Your Majesty said, what will happen to them?" It's nothing more than just getting out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den! After being dismissed, some of these palace maids will be favored by dignitaries and nobles, and then enter the mansion as slaves and maids, and some will be killed by strongmen, share food, or be taken captive as maidservants on the way home! Some are helpless and can only beg for a living! It is precisely these reasons that make the palace maids dare not leave the palace and dare not face the outside world! ”

Hearing Shi Min compare his harem to a "wolf's den", Shi Zun's heart was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it, but frowned and said: "If King Wei has any advice, you might as well say it directly." ”

Everyone understands the importance of women, after all, when this family is passed on, in addition to men, women are also needed!

In particular, the ministers of the Hu people in the court saw it more clearly. In the steppe, the fighting between the nomadic tribes is very fierce, and the victorious side often has to exterminate the defeated side, that is, slaughter their tribes and exterminate them!

Of course, the massacres of the steppe tribes were aimed at the elderly and young adults.

In the eyes of the grassland people, the old man is frail and sickly, and he really has no effect on life except for wasting food. And the young and middle-aged are strong-blooded, powerful, and have the memory of extermination, so they must cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving no future troubles.

And the rest are women and children.

Teenagers can't be let go, these people are also hateful, only children below the height of the wheels can be kept and not mutilated.

As for those lonely and helpless women, they continue to survive and become the "reproductive tools" of the victorious side, or the object of venting sex.

Therefore, the importance of women is beyond doubt for a country and a nation!

Shi Hu had occupied so many important resources before, it was really tyrannical!

Shi Min said: "There are many beautiful maids in the palace, for the sake of multiplying the population, please ask Your Majesty to allow some unmarried soldiers in the army to marry some palace maids to them!" ”

"Accurate!"

"There are also some palace maids who still have relatives in the family, according to their wishes, they should be escorted back to their hometowns by various localities or military officers and soldiers, so as to demonstrate the sanctity of Your Majesty and the righteousness of the country!"

"Accurate!"

"There are also some soldiers who are unwilling to marry soldiers and refuse to return to their hometowns, so the ministers should set up some workshops to settle them!"

"Accurate!"

Shi Zun has three "quasi" in a row, anyway, he has no exception for the things that Shi Min proposes-quasi!

Shi Min was very satisfied with Shi Zun's knowledge, and it seemed that the next move should continue.

Out of the palace gate, before crossing the imperial bridge, Li Nong hurriedly ran in front of Shi Min.

"King Wei go slowly!"

"What else is the matter with Da Sima?" Shi Min was stunned for a moment.

"King Wei, I have something I want to tell you in private."

"It's inconvenient to say it in the court?"

"Yes."

"What?" New Bayi m.x81zw

"In the Battle of Xiapi, the Nong led the army to capture more than 10,000 prisoners of war of the Jin army, how to settle them?"

Hearing this, Shi Min was stunned, and then reacted: "It's the lonely king who was negligent." ”

Shi Min can be said to have a lot of opportunities, no matter how big or small, he has a big deal on himself, and he still wants to put off the matter of the prisoners of war of the Jin army and wait for disposal. However, since Li Nong asked, he had to deal with it.

"So be it. In the afternoon, King Lone will inspect the prisoner of war camp, and the disposition of them will be announced. ”

"No."

Li Nong didn't ask much, not because he didn't care about the disposal of prisoners of war, but because he probably guessed the outcome of these prisoners of war.
