Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Emperor Chongzhen, who was already ready to kill, did not prevent this guy from saying the third reason, and he could not refute it.

Not to mention Daming, even in later generations, it is very common for a family to have several children, especially those families that can't have a son, and they put all their efforts to give birth.

If it is said that at the beginning of the founding of the country in the later generations, it was endowed with the Taizu's idea of ​​large numbers of people and great strength, especially to guard against the fact that there will still be enough people to restore national power after the world nuclear peace, then it can be vigorously born, and there will be rewards for those born more. The idea is correct.

But after the world has no nuclear level but is relatively peaceful, some people still want to live more.

Especially those who can't have a son, they try their best to give birth, and if they give birth to a son, they will have another one.

The more children born, the greater the pressure of raising children, so there is a saying that the more children are born, the poorer they are.

This is still the case in later generations, not to mention the Ming Dynasty at this time - especially the Emperor Chongzhen has issued a decree that those who have more children will be rewarded, and the government will also give a part of the maintenance fee.

With such a good thing, plus there are no entertainment activities at night, how can you make a little man?

But the law of getting richer and poorer doesn't just exist in later generations, it also exists in Ming Dynasty.

After the youngest baby was born, it was broken and could not be supported.The money given by the government is not enough.

When I was having a headache, I found that the older son was able to work in the fields, and the daughter was able to get married—there was no solution.

The older son went to work in the fields. As for the daughter, after getting married, she will be a member of her in-laws' family, and she will no longer eat her own family's food, and she can exchange a bride price to relieve the pressure.

It was based on this kind of thinking that the big guy chose to marry off his daughter as soon as possible.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that this could not be done in this way.

It's okay to marry early, and they are all legal lolitas. If they are placed in later generations, those single dogs who can't find a wife will stick out their tongues happily.

But in an ancient society with underdeveloped medical conditions, giving birth to a child was like going to hell, and a girl who married early was a loss to Emperor Chongzhen.

If they remarry later, the chances of having a child with dystocia will be much smaller, which can be seen from the statistics of Guo Yunhou.

The probability of dystocia is small, and the speed of population increase is fast.

After the population increases, Emperor Chongzhen can collect more taxes, and more men will go to fight for Emperor Chongzhen.

There are more people fighting, which means more territory and more taxes in this era of more people and more power.

This is simply a virtuous cycle, until it occupies the whole world and no land can keep up with the population growth rate of Ming Dynasty, then it will collapse.

But does Emperor Chongzhen need to consider this kind of collapse now?

Needless to say, the Jiannu in Liaodong, the Tartars on the grasslands in the north, the monkeys in the south, and the third elder brother in the west, the land vacated after these scumbags were cleared up, was enough for Daming to survive before the death of Emperor Chongzhen. Don't worry about these issues.

As for the first two points put forward by Zheng Huanwen, even Wang Anshi, who sent the photo, shouted that "the changes of the sky are not to be feared, the ancestors are not to be lawful, and the words of people are not to be sympathetic." Kind of thing.

What's more, this ancestor is Zhu Youjian's ancestor, not necessarily his Zhu Xiaosong's ancestor.

The only problem Daming needs to consider now is the third point raised by Yu Shi Zheng Huanwen, the people are under pressure because of having too many children, and they can't afford to support them, so they marry their daughters early.

Emperor Chongzhen still intends to compulsorily formulate the law that dissatisfied people can't marry, but it can't be so simple and rude, there must be a solution.

Although there will always be some people in later generations who say that reading countless films is simple and rude to stimulate, but this is not the case with politics.

It’s not afraid of killing people’s heads. It’s for Erha, but for the common people, it’s better to be cautious about this kind of thing—it’s these common people who can really change the dynasty.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's eyes turned to him again, Wen Tiren obviously felt the pressure.

Just now he jumped out to agree with Emperor Chongzhen first, but he was slapped in the face by a censor in a blink of an eye.

Moreover, it seemed that Emperor Chongzhen also felt that this censor played well and played beautifully—won't he throw the blame on himself now and ask him to come up with a solution.

Wen Tiren pondered for a while, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think that rewards and punishments should be given equally in this matter.

If a woman reaches the age of marriage, she can be given a certain reward, but if she is dissatisfied, she needs to be given a certain punishment.

In addition, public opinion still needs to be guided to realize the dangers of women's dissatisfaction with marriage. "

Emperor Chongzhen hummed.

What Wen Tiren proposed is indeed a solution.

But fines are easy to handle, how about rewards?Rewarding a false name is useless, but rewarding money is real.But who pays for this money?

Is it from the treasury, or from internal funds?The money in the treasury belongs to Daming, but the money in the internal money belongs to him.

After thinking about it, and based on Daming's own idea, Emperor Chongzhen said: "In this case, all those who marry at the age of [-] will be rewarded by the local government. The specific amount of reward will be discussed by the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Just let me know again.

As for punishment, any woman who is dissatisfied with getting married will be counted as a gift.

In addition, the local governments also need to do a good job of guiding, so that the people know the harm of premature marriage and childbirth.After all, as a parent, I must feel sorry for my daughter. "

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen added another sentence: "Wang Cheng'en drafted an imperial edict that all daughters of the imperial family who are underage are not allowed to marry, and those who violate it will be deprived of their daughter's title and fined ten thousand gold.

For those who have a title, if the woman is dissatisfied with getting married, she will be fined a thousand gold and demoted to a lower rank. "

Emperor Chongzhen remembered such a story.

It is said that some people want to promote some crops, but the common people are not willing to plant them.

The clever county magistrate sent the yamen guards to protect the crops, and preached that whoever stole would be punished severely, but the yamen servants sent to protect the crops did not do their duty, so that the people always found opportunities to steal the seeds.

The final result achieved the desired result of the county magistrate. It was useless to promote it to the people, but the effect of letting the people steal it was unexpected.

Chongzhen's way of playing is basically a replay of the county magistrate's practice.

Once the folks find out that the upper-level clans have begun to formulate such a rule that women must be married, people will follow them spontaneously out of curiosity.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's decree came out, all the nobles in the Manchu Dynasty felt pain in their crotch.

This is the real fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to change the age of folk marriages, but he himself was also unlucky. Many people who had already written their marriage dates had to be changed now.

Fortunately, with Emperor Chongzhen's will in mind, even if the wedding date is changed, there will be no problems.

Emperor Chongzhen's temperament of running away after pretending to be forced was once again fully revealed-after most of the problems were resolved, Emperor Chongzhen went to the Royal Academy again.

Chapter 294 Not as good as a mule

In Emperor Chongzhen's impression, he hadn't been to the Royal Academy for a while—although it was less than three months since the last time he came to the Royal Academy.

Since the time to go to court early was earlier, and the time to disperse the court was naturally earlier, so Emperor Chongzhen chose to eat in a restaurant outside the palace very capriciously.

Of course, this restaurant is secretly controlled by Jin Yiwei, but there is nothing special on the surface.

Emperor Chongzhen sat at the same table with Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua, and the other Jinyiwei and Neichang fanzi were scattered around the table to ensure that as long as there was a situation, everyone could surround Emperor Chongzhen in time and block all dangers for him. .
