When you serve as a soldier, you eat royal food, receive military pay, and even have a wife!
If this advertisement is put out, it should be able to achieve good results!
For poor people, having a daughter at home is a huge worry.
Raising waste food, I feel heartbroken if I die, and I am reluctant to marry off for fear of losing money.
If you reach out to your husband's family to ask for money for childbirth and support, the other party will be as poor as yourself and won't be able to get it.
In comparison, famine-stricken areas, such as the Central Plains, are much better. You can starve to death directly...
It seems that the "Yangzhou Skinny Horse" is a typical example of being weak, pitiful and helpless. In fact, if you think deeply, they are already the best outcome.
At least they won't starve to death, earn hard-earned money, rarely get beaten, and won't turn into a fertility machine. Sometimes they can choose the man they like.
Other women, except for the wives and concubines of the royal family, high-ranking officials, and wealthy gentry, have been the same miserable life, and they cannot change it at all, they can only accept their fate!
A certain prince was unable to change this situation. The only feasible way was to let the young woman have enough food and clothing first, and other matters would be discussed later.
If you marry a soldier, especially a soldier of the East Palace Guards, at least your family will not have to worry about food and drink.
For any married soldier, 20% of his income goes to pension, 50% of his income must be given directly to his family, and the remaining 30% can be spent by himself.
The 50% given to the family members will not go through the hands of the soldiers at all, because they are afraid that they will spend it, but will be given directly to the family members.
According to the monthly salary, five achievements is one tael of silver, plus half a stone of polished rice (ninety kilograms).
As long as there is a place to live, supporting a family is not a big problem.
If the soldier is rewarded for meritorious service, his income will naturally increase, and his family's life will also be improved to a certain extent.
Through the factory guard's investigation, a certain prince learned that as long as he was an officer or soldier of the East Palace Guard, even an ordinary soldier would not have to worry about getting a wife.
Because her income is guaranteed and she can support her family, the matchmaker is willing to be a matchmaker for these people under the prince's command.
However, the sales volume of this "retail method" was too small, far less than a certain prince's expectations.
It must be changed to wholesale and marry 8,000 people at a time. This is considered appropriate!
In the future, if your pocket allows, you can come once a year at this time, which is considered a welfare treatment for the losers.
This is also one of the ways to stop them from spending money indiscriminately and redistribute wealth.
Only by distributing the bounty to women so that women's lives are secure can a virtuous cycle be achieved.
When the children of the East Palace Guards grow up and have no bad deeds, they will enjoy priority in enlisting in the army.
In the future, if these people are allowed to participate in the southern and northern wars, they can be used with confidence.
A hundred thousand losers can marry a hundred thousand women, which is equivalent to saving the lives of these women.
The marriage arranged by a certain prince would naturally not be disturbed by trivial matters.
After marriage, the man is not allowed to beat, mutilate, or kill the woman, and the woman is not allowed to be lazy or create extraneous problems.
If someone is bold enough to deny this honor to a certain prince, the man will be expelled or even executed, and the woman will also be severely punished.
"Ah? There is such a thing???"
After the meal, the soldiers immediately became lively when they heard that the prince had just issued the edict of sending people.
"I have to find a matchmaker quickly!"
"Idiot! How can it be too late?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Tell me your name first, and then go find the neighbor's daughter!"
"Yes! Uh...whose name should I say?"
"Are you stupid? Are you marrying someone else's wife?"
"Uh...too!"
The Crown Prince has spoken. Anyone who gets married, regardless of rank or quantity, will be rewarded with ten taels of silver per couple.
In the eyes of mid-level and senior officers, this is certainly not a large sum of money, but to ordinary soldiers it is very different.
Ten taels of silver is equivalent to several months' salary. If you get this, you can save a lot of money.
At least the wedding can be held in a grand manner, so that neither the husband's family nor the neighbors can fault it.
By the way, the prince sent someone to organize the wedding, so it didn't cost the parties involved a single copper coin.
Where can I find this good thing?
Therefore, those guys who usually sneered at marrying a wife were now on pins and needles.
Of course, only first marriages, second marriages and concubines can also participate for free, but they will not get the reward.
Those who can afford a concubine will naturally not care about the ten taels of silver. They simply plan to join in the fun.
It is said that the person who presided over the wedding was Feng Quan, the Minister of Rites. It would be very embarrassing to let such a high-ranking civil servant preside over the wedding!
"You bastard, please listen to me. If anyone dares to fake a marriage and ruin the Crown Prince's affairs, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Chen Guowei also did not forget to point out a group of reckless people who were about to blow off the roof of the house. They must be the first to say ugly things.
"Brigadier, I don't have enough education, so why is it a fake marriage?"
"Yes! I hope the brigade commander will explain something!"
"It's very simple. I just got married to defraud the prince of ten taels of silver, and then divorced afterward!"
"I see!"
"Whoever dares to have a fake marriage will do so according to military law!"
"Hiss... I don't dare! I don't dare!"
There was someone in the crowd who really had this plan. After hearing Chen Guowei's warning, he immediately turned into a coward.
Fake marriage is the crime of the king. For big-headed soldiers like them, deliberately offending the prince is a capital crime.
I lost my head for ten taels of silver. I really can't commit such a crime!
It’s better to honestly find a better-looking wife and get married!
"Brother Ni, how is the situation in your department? How many applicants are there?"
"No less than four thousand! Where is your army?"
"Almost the same!"
When Chen Guowei saw Ni Chong, he exchanged information. When these guys under his command encountered such an opportunity, as long as they could still breathe, they would apply.
Calculated according to this ratio, the total number of the East Palace Guards is 50,000 in ten brigades, and there are no less than 40,000 people who want to get married. In other words, the crown prince must spend at least 400,000 taels of silver as red envelopes.
Even those who were still alive in the hospital eagerly signed up after hearing about such a good thing, and some even hooked up with the little nurse in the hospital!
"Your Highness, there are so many, I'm afraid it's too late to make the clothes needed for the wedding!"
Feng Quan was about to leave the customs with Yang Wenyue, but he didn't expect that before setting off, he would take on a big job.
As the Minister of Rites, he can do this job. The problem is that there are too many participants.
Officiating weddings for 40,000 couples is something that has never happened before!
It's a great thing to do, but the troublesome thing is that it seems a little difficult to do it!
"It doesn't matter, as long as the red cloth is enough for the newlyweds, not much else is needed. In the final analysis, the wedding is nothing more than a formality. There are five batches a day, each batch has 2,000 pairs, and it is not difficult to get 10,000 pairs. In this way, four days will be enough to complete it without delaying Aiqing's departure for customs negotiations."
A certain prince is very good at wholesale. As long as he plans carefully, he can wholesale anything!
Didn't you see Huang Taiji's braided army? There are tens of thousands of people in it who have been wholesaled by a certain prince to see the Lord of Hell.
"What His Highness said is true. It's just that the scope of this site is very wide. The buildings in the capital are densely packed, and some..."
Feng Quan couldn't imagine where two thousand couples could be arranged to perform wedding ceremonies at the same time. This was completely untenable!
"I have already thought about it for you, Aiqing. It would be nice to just go to the Temple of Heaven in the outer city. First of all, the place is big enough to accommodate thousands of newlyweds. Secondly, it is also to inform the heavens, especially my grandpa Taizu, that The king's division achieved a great victory this time, repulsing the Eastern invaders and killing tens of thousands of the enemy. Wouldn't it be better to make a special announcement about the marriages of the king's troops?"
Why don't you use the Temple of Heaven for anything?
From now on, collective weddings will be held in the Temple of Heaven!
Although it is winter now, the thick clothes can be used to convey the smell and cover up the stench in the city.
Even after extensive construction of public toilets and the splashing of large amounts of lime, odors still lingered in some areas.
Only in winter can the severe cold and cold wind drive away the stench that permeates the air.
"Yes! Your Highness is very thoughtful!"
Now that the prince's arrangements have been made, Feng Quan naturally has nothing to say.
It is also a host for a couple of newlyweds, and it is also a host for ten thousand couples.
"A twenty-two-gun salute will be fired at that time, which means good things come in pairs!"
If it is a collective wedding or a military wedding, the style must be high-end.
The place needs to be unique, the person officiating the wedding needs to be in a highly respected position, and the process needs to be outstanding.
When ordinary people get married, even if they are rich and powerful, they can only do two kicks at most.
"Oh! By the way, we will also prepare a hundred pairs of boys and girls, dressed in bright red costumes, who will sprinkle dates, peanuts, longans, and melon seeds in public, which means that they will give birth to a child early!"
Unfortunately, a certain prince is also an expert in creating atmosphere~!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Your Highness is truly a genius!"
Can you think of all this?
Even Feng Quan praised it. The marriage was for good luck. This idea was extremely brilliant!
"Your Highness, Rong Nu talks too much, this longan..."
Yang Jinchao didn't want his little master to be embarrassed by that time. It was already freezing and the longan was really hard to find!
This kind of fruit has to be transported from the south, but the water transport has been ignored, and the shadow of the ship is impossible to see.
"It's okay. If we don't have longan, we can use osmanthus cake instead. Anyway, as long as it has the word 'gui'!"
For those who want to watch the excitement, it’s good to eat it in your mouth. Who cares if it’s longan?
Besides, it’s just a matter of meaning, the audience seats must be arranged five steps away from the scene.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to say or not!"
"But it doesn't matter!"
"I heard that a soldier planned to marry a girl from an entertainment venue. I don't know..."
"As long as the woman does not break the law, she can be married regardless of her profession, and she can even participate in this collective wedding. Feng Aiqing, if any courtier mentions this matter, Aiqing, there is no need to worry too much. If anything happens, I will naturally take care of you." You solve it."
Don't look at the problem from a worldly perspective. If you do, I'm afraid these brides will be strangled to death when they are born!
From now on, a certain prince will have to take these scoundrel children to conquer the world!
If we were to be serious, Ming Dynasty was like this due to the fault of the blame father. The blame father should be the first to commit suicide to apologize to his ancestors!
"Yes, I will organize this wedding for His Highness!"
Now that the prince said so, Feng Quan can sit back and relax.
"Your Highness, the report on the corruption case has been sent!"
"Oh! Let me see how spectacular it is here!"
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
The number of people involved in the case has reached nearly 900, mainly from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. Several people from the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Medicine, the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple have been implicated.
This is more than fifty taels of corruption. If the bottom line is drawn further and lowered to ten taels, I am afraid that most of the officials in the court will be killed.
Except for a very few guys with clean sleeves, most of them are greedy for money, and there are countless people who even eat and drink, such as the Minister of Rites in front of me.
If it weren't for the protection of a certain prince, Feng Quan would also have been implicated. The amount of money involved was enough for him to be beaten by Ling Chi, and now he could preside over his own funeral...
These less than 900 people actually made away with more than one million taels of silver!
The workmanship is superb, it’s so perfect!
There must be some peripheral members who have not been arrested, otherwise the per capita income would be more than a thousand taels, which is higher than the annual profit of many merchants.
"Mr. Zhong Ai, let this case be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Be sure to verify each one one by one and not miss anyone. My attitude is very clear, that is, you cannot kill one person by mistake, let alone let the moth go. After verification, report it to me Palace, pending approval, it can be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for execution. More than one hundred taels were involved in the case, the main culprit was the leader, the male family members were assigned to Shandong mining, and the female family members were assigned to the Jiaofang Division. The case involved was under 100 liang, and the principal criminal was also assigned to Shandong mining!"
Zhong Qian, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a certain prince usually pretended that he didn't exist. He didn't like to talk, and he didn't like to take sides, so that he could save his head and job.
Even if you don't clearly support a certain prince, as long as you control your own hands, don't take money you shouldn't take, and don't look for trouble or go against a certain prince, you can still get the prince's favor.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate was extremely busy some time ago, but now it's better. We finally have something to do. If the efficiency is low, we can be busy from now until before the New Year.
As for those morons, a certain prince has nothing to say to them. I have given you a salary increase, but you are still greedy. Doesn’t this mean that you have been given a salary increase in vain?
Except for sleeping, everything should be done in moderation, right?
How about you, if you become greedy, act unscrupulously and pretend that I don’t exist?
Dare to move Taicang's money from one place to another.
Then don’t blame me for moving your heads from one place to another...
Ling Chi was too bloody, which was a bit unlucky for the mass wedding to be held, so he could just cut it off with a knife.
Since I heard that some house ladies want to become good people and plan to find a new home, it would be a good idea to use the moth's daughter to fill the hole.
The women from these official families are at least beautiful and well-educated. They are probably more valuable than the "Yangzhou thin horse"!
Why? ? ?
Why don't I engage in the business of "thin horse in the capital"?
wonderful!
excellent!
A thin horse sells for 500 taels of silver, and a thousand horses can be sold for 500,000 taels!
Isn't this a way to earn back the red envelope money that was subsidized to the losers?
feasible!
Very doable!
First send them to the Jiaofang Division for good training, and then you can wholesale and retail by yourself...
If you give Jiaofangsi a little money, you can buy them all and then sell them to the little aunts!
Perfect!
Since moths are constantly emerging, this can be treated as a serious business in the future.
In this era, this is a reasonable and legal business!
Besides, a certain prince had a large number of clients, and those generals were all rich men.
I usually don’t get to play with such high-end items, but this is a God-given opportunity.
One horse only costs five hundred taels of silver!
Hurry if you want to buy!
"My dear friends, you have worked hard and achieved great results. I allow you to choose a few of the best thin horses, which can be regarded as saving them from the pain of fatigue!"
Using the children of worms to reward one's own lackadaisical deeds is really a good deal with huge profits.
Whoever dares to gossip will be rewarded with another horse!
