Chapter 44: The Peasant Girl's Imperial Road

"In my opinion, private prostitution is a huge hidden danger to the country's foundation."

Ling Chan told her thoughts: "First of all, in the Dayong Dynasty, there were more men and fewer women-"

"How so?" Emperor Qianhua's expression was indifferent, and he said calmly: "When making decisions on state affairs, we should make inferences based on accurate data, rather than our own imagination. ”

Emperor Qianhua once sent someone to count the distribution of men and women in the capital, which was relatively balanced, far from the level of a cancer.

"The capital is balanced, and that's because everyone is rich. When I was a child, when I was at home, my relatives and aunts around me were only willing to have boys, so that when I grew up, I could help the family. Most of the girls who were slightly weaker were drowned, or a small number were raised enough to stand up and were sold to human teeth.

There are still a few people like me who don't sell until they are five or six years old.

It was easy for the nobles at the top to marry wives and take concubines, because the female resources of the entire Dayong Dynasty were converging on them.

But the lower class of singles are different, they have fewer women around, and there are a large number of beautiful peasant girls who are sold into the kiln voluntarily or forcedly. If there are fewer women, men will start to make trouble if they can't marry a wife, which is not conducive to the stability of the country. In the long run, even the country's Dingkou will decline.

If private prostitution can be abolished, it will liberate many women who are trapped in the kiln, cure their diseases, and send them to marry, which can greatly stabilize the bottom. ”

Ling Chan's heart is full of this set of statements, she never thinks that women have to be dependent on men, and they have to marry to live, but she must take into account the current situation of this small world, under the lack of productivity in this feudal dynasty, the innate physical strength gap between men and women cannot be ignored, and it is difficult to develop equal social status between men and women...... Of course, it's not impossible.

But things have to be done step by step, and the current plan has the highest success rate.

Emperor Qianhua's eyes were deep.

He looked at the girl in front of him, the earth dragon in the Pearl Palace was burning, Ling Chan was only wearing a light gauze skirt, and her slender figure was visible at a glance, as if she could break it with one hand.

is still so beautiful, she is a lonely and poor person in the back house, a silk flower who can't live without him, and a weak little girl who won't fight back if she is let down.

Who would have thought? Such a poor person, her eyes saw the entire empire at her feet, and every moaning and wailing individual in the country?

Is...... Found a treasure.

Emperor Qianhua carefully pressed Ling Chan's messy hair and smiled: "So what? Those who can't get wives are only those who are at the bottom and the most miserable, and their existence does not help the country in the slightest, even if they are tired of living and go crazy, they can't set off any big storms. ”

Emperor Qianhua has governed the country for more than ten years, how could he not know what Ling Chan said?

But the emperor, standing high in the clouds, disdained to look down at the people struggling in the dirt.

Ling Chan pursed her lips.

Emperor Qianhua pulled her to his side and patiently shared with her and said: "Don't focus your eyes on the common people at the bottom, they are inconsequential things, governing a country is like managing a sheepfold, I am the owner of the sheepfold, the people are my sheepdogs, and the common people are the sheep I raise in captivity, their ideas are irrelevant, not too little, too little can not support the operation of the country, but not too much, too many sheep, not enough forage, the sheepfold will have internal friction." ”

The idea of the feudal emperor is cold-blooded and cruel, except for himself, the subjects and people under his hands are just tools at his disposal.

But Ling Chan felt that it shouldn't be like this.

Her eyes were stubborn.

Emperor Qianhua smiled, and he retreated slightly, "Your thoughts are still your subjective opinions, and there is no file calculation to support them. ”

Ling Chan keenly sensed the softening of Emperor Qianhua, her pupils lit up, and she immediately said, "Then what if I can count it?!" ”

"What are you thinking?" Emperor Qianhua sighed and said, "You are my concubine Chen, do you still want to go to the countryside to investigate household by household?" ”

"And ......?"

"I will assign people to you, these hard errands, you can just ask others to do them," Emperor Qianhua affectionately pinched Ling Chan's little nose, "You just stay in the palace and be a commander who coordinates the Quartet." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ling Chan's eyes blinked, and she said, "Can I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help me?" ”

Prince......?

I just felt that this little girl had a broad vision and a boundless heart, but in a blink of an eye, she began to carry private goods again, and she wanted to toss people?

Emperor Qianhua sighed, "At a young age, I still hold a grudge."

"Then Your Majesty will allow it?"

Emperor Qianhua hugged her, and there was nothing wrong with it, "Quasi." ”

……

On the second day, Emperor Qianhua's decree was promulgated.

Because the concubine Niangniang was from a weak background and took pity on the miserable suffering of the prostitutes in the world, Emperor Qianhua decided to prohibit private prostitution, and this matter was handed over to the concubine Niangniang to be responsible for the transaction, with the assistance of the prince.

As soon as the news came out, it shook the capital.

Before anger, the emotions that first come to mind are absurd.

Fu Lingchan is a woman! It's the emperor's woman, who doesn't obediently stay in the deep palace to teach her husband and children, what are you dancing here for?

Above the court, a large number of people came out and said: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Qianhua sat on the dragon chair without saying a word, and the bead curtain hanging in front of him blocked all his expressions.

Another group of people retorted angrily: "The concubine Niangniang cares about her family and country, and you only look at her as a woman's private opinion, isn't it narrow-minded!" ”

Emperor Qianhua was not surprised, he was clear about the thoughts of these two groups of people.

The first group of people were corrupted by religion, and the second group was blinded by power.

Emperor Qianhua is delegating power! Ling Chan is a woman, can she check the illegal prostitutes in the capital one by one, or can she count the number of prostitutes? It's something, and she still has to leave it to someone else!

It's a real right!

said that he asked the prince to assist, but who doesn't know the relationship between the prince and the concubine? How could the concubine be careless about His Royal Highness the Prince!

In the harem, the invitations handed to Ling Chan here, the gifts proliferated, and everyone wanted to rub her east wind and hug Emperor Qianhua's golden thighs.

The licking dog around her doubled again, and Ling Chan was surrounded by people wherever she went, and the flattery and lifting were endless.

drove away a palace maid who stood in the middle of the road to recommend herself, which made Chan annoyed.

She pinched her forehead and calmly ordered: "Turn around and go to the East Palace." ”

……

East Palace.

Today's sunshine is just right, but Taizhi has no time to appreciate, he buried himself in the case, looked at the county chronicles in his hand, and the pen in his hand kept extracting the key points.

The servant ran in in a panic, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good——! ”

Taizhi frowned, "Don't be so flustered. ”

The servant gasped and finished the second half of the sentence, "The concubine is here!" ”

Yutaizhi's hand trembled, and the brush that had just been stained with thick ink wrung out a dazzling ink ball on the smooth rice paper.

Silent for a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said: "Then lead someone to pick up the car, be sure to serve the good lady, don't lose your manners." ”
