It doesn't matter if the court ladies who have never been favored by Zhao Ji are released from the palace or Zhao Huan keeps them for himself.

The difficulty is that those who have been favored but have no children are more difficult to deal with.

In the final analysis, she is also Zhao Ji's woman, and if she is released, she will cuckold the royal family, which is inappropriate.

Staying in the palace is just delaying youth, which is inhumane.

Zhao Huan had already thought about how to deal with it.

The next day, when Zhao Huan woke up satisfied, he issued an edict: "Those who have not broken their bodies, those who are above 22 and below [-], are free to marry meritorious soldiers in the army as their wives.

Those who are over 22 years old will work as weavers in Shaofu Textile Factory, and their wages will be raised by one level within three years, and their future will be determined by themselves after that.

Those under sixteen will study gynecology and pediatrics, and will be released after completing their studies.

Those who are broke and have no children are taught medical skills by special personnel as a way of making a living. "

When this order came out, more and more people in Kaifeng wrote to ask the emperor to reopen the draft.

Gynecology and pediatrics doctors have always been in short supply, and their status is quite high.

It's just that ordinary people don't even have a chance to become a teacher.

Send your daughter to the palace, even if you can't be a relative of the state, you can still become a doctor.

Of course, given the current situation, Zhao Huan is not interested in the draft.

Zhao Ji recruited a lot of beauties, it can be said that there are all kinds of beauties, such as Yanshouhuanfei, why bother to go to the folks to choose them.

However, the queen mother will not agree to release all the maids.

How can there be only one eldest son?

In case of death, wouldn't it be possible to pass the throne to his brothers like Zhezong?

Therefore, before giving birth to ten or eight sons, the Empress Dowager Zheng will inevitably leave some court ladies of the right age to serve the emperor.

280 The Royal Expedition

He ascended the throne on the fourth day of August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival passed on August [-]th, and everything in the center stabilized.

On this day, at the request of Zhao Huan, all the central officials gathered in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the government is just on the right track, but affairs are still complicated..." He Li said bluntly.

He is the newly-appointed Yushi Zhongcheng, who is responsible for supervising and inspecting all officials. Now that the old and the new are changing, he has to inspect all the officials in the world, and he is really busy.

Therefore, Zhao Huan was looking for trouble for nothing, which made him very upset.

However, the emperor is the emperor, and he can call a group of ministers without reason.

Ignoring He Li's resentment, Zhao Huan said: "Currently, the imperial court's [-]-odd army and the rebels are stalemate outside Jiankang City, the war is endless, and the people in the southeast are overwhelmed.

In my opinion, in order to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, I will personally conquer! "

"No!"

"Your Majesty has recently ascended the throne, and the foundation has not been firmly established. How can he leave the center without authorization?"

"Liu Kai, Han Shizhong and others are all loyal ministers and good generals. They all have talents. Although they have never won Jiankang, they have never been defeated. Why do you need your Majesty to conquest?"

Sure enough, as soon as the plan of Yujia's personal conquest was announced, everyone expressed their opposition one after another.

"Suzhou and Hangzhou, the land of great wealth in the dynasty, and the land of great wealth!

Now it is occupied by thieves, so the taxes here must not be collected, and the shortage of national resources is inevitable.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to put down the rebellion as soon as possible.

The Mingjiao bandits are determined, and it is really hard to break the city's hold. I have to personally supervise the battle to break the bandits as soon as possible. " Zhao Huan said.

It is a long-standing idea to conquest by the royal driver, and it must not be stopped because of the opposition of the ministers.

"Suppressing thieves is a matter for my subordinates. Your Majesty will go there in person. Local officials and generals in front must ask for instructions on everything, or delay the opportunity of the battle." Fan Zhixu persuaded.

"You don't need to worry about it." Zhao Huan explained: "Before I came to the throne, I was conquering Daozhou, and I also experienced military incidents. I am sure of the scale."

Zheng Juzhong said again: "If your majesty personally conquers the southeast, and the center has no master, the government affairs will inevitably be sluggish, and it will be inconvenient for the country and the people. Please be aware of your majesty."

"It doesn't matter, you can deal with matters big or small in the court, or if you can't decide, you can send them to the front as soon as possible, and I will deal with them.

Come to think of it, many things will not be delayed. " Zhao Huan said.

Seeing Zhao Huan's resolute attitude, Yang Shi asked curiously: "The grass bandits in the area are in chaos, and the place will be settled sooner or later. Why does your majesty insist on doing the imperial conquest?"

Zheng Juzhong and Fan Zhixu's reasons were actually very far-fetched and could not stop Zhao Huan.

Therefore, Yang Shi decided not to look for a reason for the time being, but to figure out the reason first.

Zhao Huan said: "There are two reasons.

First, the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River have a clever strategy. They do not plunder the people, but only plunder the local tyrants and gentry.

Therefore, the people were desperate and resisted violently. "

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of equal distribution of land, the Center has already accepted Liu Wei's request, so it is not a matter of concern.

As for the tax exemption, when next year the thieves don’t have enough money, they will either plunder the people or start to collect taxes. Their slogans are self-defeating, and the people will naturally complain. "Luo Congyan said.

Evenly distribute the land, the center has indeed passed the ratification.

This, of course, upset the landlords, but it didn't matter.

Compared with the tens of millions of people in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the tens of thousands of landlords are completely negligible.

The tricky part is the tax exemption slogan.

The slogan of Mingjiao: "Follow the king of Ming, never pay food, enter Mingjiao, and never have corvee."

Land tax and corvee have always been two big mountains pressing on farmers.

In this dynasty, corvée has been transformed into tax in the form of currency, which is also one of the major revenues of the court, and the burden on the people is also quite heavy.

Not only that, except for commercial tax, Mingjiao exempted all taxes.

In this way, the people of course desperately supported Mingjiao.

It's just that, as Luo Congyan said, when the income from the big households is used up, Mingjiao will naturally be unsustainable.
