My Daming New Empire

In the innermost part, there are also eunuchs, Habayashi guards, and two Taoist masters with superb martial arts skills.

More importantly, although his current strength is less than half of his previous life, he mainly has space, and he will not be afraid of any attack.

So unless it snows, when it rains, he rarely chooses to sit in the car.

The Zhang family lived in Taipingfang in the north of the city, not too far from the imperial palace.Zijin Mountain is on the east side of Taipingfang, Jiuhua Mountain and Jilong Mountain are on the west side, and the famous Xuanwu Lake is just outside the city gate.

With its unique geographical advantages and not far from the imperial palace, it has become a community where the most dignitaries and nobles gather.

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wuyi Lane, which belonged to the city's aristocratic settlement, was too close to the Qinhuai River red light district that has developed now.Although it is a bustling city center, few great nobles and high officials live there anymore.

As for Qin Huaihe, Zhou Nan, a man who has enjoyed beauties from all over the world, is not that attractive.

What's more, many women there still have small feet.

Little feet are the most disgusting thing about Zhu Zhanji in this era, bar none.

He originally thought he hated Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, but these are actually part of traditional culture.

Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have actually experienced the integration of the three religions, which are closely related to the lives of all people and cannot be separated.

Moreover, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism themselves also have a certain degree of positive effect, playing an irreplaceable role in education, belief, and life stability.

But little feet, this is an absolute bad habit.

The history of foot binding began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it had been spread in the Sui Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, women's status improved and their participation in social activities increased, so they were curbed to a certain extent.

But after the Song Dynasty, the rise of Confucianism made foot binding really spread.

When the Mongols entered the Central Plains, they even encouraged women to bind their feet for the convenience of ruling.

In the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang was born from a grassroots background and suffered a lot when he was a child.Therefore, after taking charge of the world, they can often look at problems from the standpoint of disadvantaged groups, thinking that they have done many good things for the people wholeheartedly.

However, due to its own limitations, it has also done some ridiculous and wonderful things.

Before the Ming Dynasty, foot binding was just a "circle game" of some nobles. What men admired was deformed beauty, but innocent women were the victims.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated in the form of law that women all over the country must bind their feet.

In the pre-Qin law, women were allowed to elope and marry, but in the Ming Dynasty's "Da Ming Law", elopement was a felony.

Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated in the "Gunmian System" promulgated in the 16th year of Hongwu that "complex and prosperous crown ornaments and foot binding for women are ordered".

This move is intended to make it difficult for women to move, run, and of course elope.

Women can no longer run around, and of course men have to worry about their family affairs, so as not to cause trouble everywhere and cause trouble for the court.

They didn't realize at all that the productivity in this era is inherently low, and if half of the people are made weak, the productivity will not be liberated.

Zhu Zhanji once analyzed the dangers of footbinding with Zhu Di, but even Zhu Di prioritized the stability of the country's rule and was unwilling to liberate women at all.

What's more, this move will be opposed by the whole society.

With great power in his hands, Zhu Di can deal with any class at will, but he can't fight against the whole society.

Looking at the trembling women on the street, Zhu Zhanji knew that this matter was more difficult than reform.

"Brother..."

"Get out!"

"Bold!"

Zhu Zhanji looked up, and two guards from Habayashi guard stopped a majestic man in a flying fish suit.This person was around thirty, with deep eyes and a straight nose, dark complexion, and a pinch of short stubble on his upper lip.

Although he is not handsome, he does not have a certain momentum.

"My lords, I am Yang Zhangde, General Banner of Jinyiwei, and I am not someone who has a different heart. It's just that Daoist Xuanzhen is my senior brother, so I lost my temper for a while. Please make amends."

Zhu Zhanji himself is not very handsome, and he likes this kind of man who is very masculine, or has the appearance of a tiger and a wolf.

In the eyes of others, this kind of person must be ruthless, complicated, and difficult to control.But for him, he only appreciates those who are capable, and those who are not, no matter how good-looking they are, they are also useless.

Whether you can control a person, you can see that it is your own means, not by benevolence, righteousness and morality.

He looked back at Xuan Zhen who was following him. "Is what this person said true?"

Xuan Zhen was a little embarrassed and ashamed, but he still nodded and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, this person's surname is Yang and his name is Zhang De, and he is indeed a junior from a poor family."

Zhu Zhanji looked at the flying fish suit on him, smiled and said: "I don't know that you still have such a relationship in the capital. It seems that you, a cultivator, are also entangled in common affairs! Since you are a junior, you can do it in the future." Don't worry about me, make more contacts."

I have been with Zhu Zhanji for ten years. Although Xuanzhen thinks that Zhu Zhanji has deep scheming and hard to guess, he still knows more than others.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, I knew he had other thoughts.But..."Your Highness does not know, although this person has a lot to do with Wudang, he was expelled from the mountain gate seven years ago because of his unhealthy mind."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "What is this person's ability?"

Xuan Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's quite capable."

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Today is inconvenient. I will go to Huangzhuang on the 25th. Let him meet me at Huangzhuang that day."

Xuanzhen had no choice but to respond, and drove his horse over to deal with the matter.

The convoy continued to move forward, Zhu Zhanji rode on the horse, glanced at Yang Zhangde, although he was facing Xuanzhen, but still looked at himself from time to time, and couldn't help laughing.

Since this person is trying his best to catch up with his own line, let's see if he can get his own bowl of rice.

Regardless of whether he was sent by Ji Gang or wants to rely on himself, ability is the most important thing.

I will be 17 soon, and I am afraid that I will marry a wife when I come back from the Northern Expedition this time.

It's time to develop your own power. Jin Yiwei is not considered a foreign minister, but can only be regarded as the emperor's minion. It is very appropriate to cultivate your own power from this aspect.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of Zhang's house, all members of the Zhang family greeted them at the gate.

After Zhu Zhanji jumped off the horse, he first greeted his mother, and then asked the eunuch to help Zhu Gaochi, who was inconvenient to move.

Zhang's family is dominated by Uncle Pengcheng, Zhang Chang. Except for his grandmother, Lao Fengjun, who is old and was held by Zhang and refused to bow down, everyone else knelt down. "Minister Zhang Chang, Zhang Sheng and his family welcome the Crown Prince, Crown Princess, His Royal Highness the Grandson."

Seeing hundreds of people kneeling in front of him, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but secretly sighed.Because of his low background, Zhu Yuanzhang paid special attention to these ceremonies and ostentation.

These bad habits of kneeling and worshiping relatives are not bad.He dug out those sacrificial burial systems that had long been swept into the dustbin of history.Thinking that a living person would be buried with him, Zhu Zhanji wanted to change this bad habit of Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 18 Emperor's Art

Zhang Qizheng's wife has two sons and one daughter, that is to say, Zhu Zhanji has two uncles who are serious.
