Having so many new ladies, a certain new emperor who hadn't tasted "new dishes" for a long time was a little excited.
It is expected that the official wedding will be in September or October of the Eastern Calendar, when it will be neither cold nor hot, so it would be perfect to schedule it during the Mooncake Festival.
In the twenty years before this, there must have been many young ladies with strange figures in the Ming Dynasty.
However, they are destined to have a fate with a certain new emperor in this life, and basically everyone who can come this time has come.
The youngest is only thirteen years old, and the oldest is already thirty-five.
But what is surprising is that after careful inspection by the imperial physician, it turned out to be perfect...
The reason for reporting her was that her figure was too weird, and her family background was pretty good, so she was raised like an old girl.
Now I finally participated in the audition, and unexpectedly, I became a phoenix, which probably made the woman's father so happy that he had a heart attack.
A certain new emperor does not care about age. As long as three conditions are met, age does not matter at all.
There were actually nine women over thirty years old. This was probably what Xue Wanqing and Liu Xier meant.
Both of them have passed their prime childbearing age, and they do not plan to have any more children after being persuaded by a certain new emperor.
So in order to nip problems in the bud, some older women were selected.
Being older means that the likelihood of having children in the future is lower, much better than those in teenagers.
The queen and the imperial concubine didn't have much confidence in themselves, so they came to the queen's residence during the flower season. However, they had too much fun over the years, so they couldn't have more children.
Fortunately, under my careful care, the children have grown up, and they will have someone to rely on in the future.
As the empress dowager, a certain mother naturally liked younger women because she could have more children for the emperor in the future.
As a result, those women in their twenties were not taken seriously, and there were only five of them.
All of them are as beautiful as flowers, and their facial features are comparable to those of Kou Baimen, who is known as the most empress.
Of course, so far, the new emperor's impression of them is only at the level of good looks.
Before getting to know more deeply, no one dares to say for sure whether there is a woman with a heart of snakes or scorpions in this place.
Even if there is, a certain new emperor is not afraid. He spent half a year just to nip it in the bud.
Every two people have a room, and the remaining three live in the same room, so the problem is solved.
They were said to be concubines, but after they were qualified, all thirty-three of them were high-level nannies before that!
You have to do whatever you are told. If you don't want to do it, you can just leave and no one will stop you.
Liu Xier worked as a maid for a certain mother for several years, and Xue Wanqing also served her prospective mother-in-law before arriving at the East Palace.
The Six Golden Flowers were not like this, but they had been empty for half a year. They were guarded by special personnel and could not leave the yard.
Nowadays, the daily life of a certain new emperor is taken care of by six golden flowers. It is inevitable to be called here and there, and he also has to take care of the big business of the family.
Besides having fun and entertainment, the Queen and the Imperial Concubine basically do one thing...
For wealthy gentry, marrying eight wives is considered as enjoying all the blessings of the whole family.
For an emperor, having eight wives seemed a bit shabby.
A certain new emperor thought that as long as he was not allowed to marry so many young ladies every year, everything else would be easy to talk about.
The thirty-three people left behind in the end, and one person gave birth to two children, that is, sixty-six babies, but this requires a lot of money for milk powder.
The eldest son, Zhu Xiangtang, was born to Queen Xue Wanqing. He is already eleven years old this year. He has basically learned and mastered everything he should have learned at this age.
Regarding the matters between men and women, a certain new emperor did not shy away from it, and gave him some pointers, lest this guy be made self-taught by a beautiful palace maid.
Now I am very interested in the affairs of the Academy of Sciences, so I often go to Sun Yunqiu's place to have a meal, and I can be regarded as Sun's student.
As for the matter of establishing a prince, a certain new emperor did not consider it at all at the moment.
I have many more years to live, and I may live longer than my sons and grandchildren...
Therefore, establishing a prince will become a joke and let the son die as the prince. How funny that is!
Think about it, how many years did Jiaqing serve as the crown prince to Qianlong?
If Qianlong had not taken the initiative to abdicate in favor of a worthy man, Jiaqing would have been in power for several more years...
The prince is already in his seventies, but the emperor is still healthy and active. This is very embarrassing!
It is also a good thing for the eldest son to go to the Academy of Sciences to learn some skills. Firstly, it can broaden his horizons. Secondly, he can learn knowledge. Thirdly, he can avoid being exploited by his subordinates in the future.
A certain new emperor also told his sons the story of one egg and one tael of silver. This is the consequence of being ignorant of the world.
Although the Academy of Sciences is a place for researching science and technology, it will not focus on doing things behind closed doors.
Whether they are academicians or craftsmen, they will always communicate with each other about what is happening outside and what is going on inside and outside their parents.
In the future, the eldest son will become a scientist, which is also something that a certain new emperor would like to see.
Anyway, no matter what, you can't follow your own old path...
Before I die, this world still belongs to me!
The second son, Zhu Xiangzhen, was born to the imperial concubine Liu Xier. He was only half a year older than his elder brother, but their personalities were quite different. One was introverted and the other extroverted.
He was very naughty before he was ten years old. He promised not to run around, and then disappeared in a flash. Then he came back with dirty hands. His mother Liu Xier was so angry that she had to spank him if she caught him.
Now he is somewhat sensible. No matter how naughty he is, he will restrain himself a lot when his biological mother is unhappy. A certain new emperor has decided to send him to the military camp for some exercise when he comes of age.
Even if he becomes a general in the future, he will not have the chance to launch a mutiny. Before that, he will be sent overseas to be stationed. Without a naval fleet for transportation, it is impossible for the direct descendants to return to the homeland.
Li Er's success in rebellion does not mean that a certain "Zhu Er" can follow in his footsteps.
Especially since the new emperor is not Li Yuan, he will not let his son have the opportunity to seize power.
You can do it, I can do it!
You don’t know how to do it, I’ve known it for a long time, and I can teach you how to do it with a beating!
The third son, Zhu Xiang, is living in a certain fat house of his uncle. He is very delicious, lazy and greedy. At a young age, he is already teasing the maids around him.
The road ahead can basically follow his uncle's old path. He will not go off track at all, and he will walk very steadily!
If it weren't for his incomplete development, he would probably be a father by now. His biological mother, Dong Xiaowan, was worried about this all the time.
The fourth son, Zhu Xiangcheng, used to play with mud and pile sand with the second son, Zhu Xiangzhen. Later, his brother stopped playing and he became self-reliant.
Although he is less than ten years old, he recently built a two-meter-high mini turret with a few servants in the yard.
There was the Ming Dynasty's Shen flag on it, and I felt very accomplished. I actually took a photo with the tower...
From now on, if people live up to their names, they can go to study architecture and avoid harming their own backyards.
A certain father doesn't care about his children at all and has no time to take care of them. He basically lets his wife manage them.
As Zhu Xiangcheng's biological mother, Kou Baimen didn't care much.
Wouldn't it be nice for my son to play quietly in the corner, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble?
However, under the guidance of a certain new emperor, Kou Baimen and Dong Xiaowan felt more at ease.
The prince is not afraid of being stupid, but he is afraid of being smart and energetic, which will be a disaster in the future.
Like a certain fat house who is lazy and greedy. When he was a child, he was exactly like his third son. Isn't his life very happy now?
The fourth son, Zhu Xiangcheng, is just like Sun Yunqiu when he first came to the palace. Now he has also married a princess, and they can be called a model couple.
As a concubine, giving birth to such a son not only made the new emperor feel relieved, but also made the queen and the imperial concubine feel relieved.
The fifth son, Zhu Xiangsu, was born to Bian Yujing. He used to like playing in the water, but now he likes fishing.
If you can't catch anything within ten minutes, then go fishing yourself. It's a miracle that you didn't drown...
The sixth son, Zhu Xiangbao, is the child of Li Xiangjun. He loves to cut newspapers and write freely on the paper according to his own ideas.
In particular, I think that a certain father-in-law actually has three heads and six arms. He can fly after nightfall, but it's just invisible to mortals. This guy can be the master in the future.
The biological mother of the seventh son Zhu Xiangtan is Chen Yuanyuan. This son is doing relatively well...crying!
That's right, this is the project that Liu Bei is good at!
In this regard, a certain new emperor had no idea. If he could cry, it would at least prove that the child was not mute, and that was all he could do for the time being.
The best thing to do is to find him a wife who doesn't like to cry, and the couple can reconcile!
The most common thing "Tan'er" says is - father, mother, concubine, my sister beat me again...
It's better now, my personality is not tanky, and I cry very openly!
One of the things that Zhu Xiangtan's sisters like to do the most is to make their little brother cry, then comfort him, and then beat him to cry again!
The eldest of the five daughters is already ten years old and will be married in five years.
As his father, he has now begun to think about a suitable menu for his in-laws.
The Zheng family is a very suitable match, but if the new emperor is willing to let his daughter marry in Fujian, his own mother may not be willing to do so.
Many direct military generals have passed their thirties, some are already in their fifties or sixties, and the same is true for civilian officials.
So either they marry their daughters to their sons, or they have to marry their grandchildren.
The princess is golden, that's for sure.
What's more, a certain new emperor can indeed turn his daughter into a veritable golden branch.
Marry a daughter with a dowry of five hundred thousand taels of silver.
A certain new emperor could totally afford this fee, although it was really painful.
The son also wants to marry, and will marry beautiful women more than once in the future.
But the new emperor's payment was only one time, five hundred thousand, regardless of gender, and everyone was treated equally.
If you can't afford the money, it will become half a million silver coins, and the total value will shrink by 33%, which seems to be acceptable.
Because the son of a certain fat man is older than the new emperor, he will reach adulthood in two or three years, and then he will get married.
At that time, the money will have to be paid according to the share, and it cannot be less. Plus the children of his sisters, a certain new emperor can only sigh.
No matter how much money you have in your pocket, there won’t be as much human kindness and sophistication!
It takes money to marry the children of the royal family, and it also costs money to marry the children of civil servants and military generals.
Since crossing over, the only time I successfully made money back was from Huang Taiji!
What can I do?
I am also in a dilemma!
Fortunately, the money will only be given to the courtiers and their heirs when they get married for the first time, or they will be given after the first one fails, otherwise the new emperor will not be able to afford this money.
This is also the reason why a certain new emperor is unwilling to have more children. If he pays 500,000 yuan for a child, regardless of whether it is silver or silver coins, it is still 500,000 yuan.
One hundred babies is 50 million. How much mining do you have to dig to make up the number? ? ?
Even if a new emperor is worth hundreds of millions, he is not willing to let his wives have more children.
If there are so many babies, the future territories will either be in Africa, with lions, or in Antarctica, with penguins.
The enfeoffment outside is a definite matter, otherwise such a large family will be in Beidu. In the future, the sons will have grandsons, and the grandsons will have babies.
Children and grandchildren have endless deprivations.
A hundred years later, all the direct descendants of the royal family will be able to form a group!
The Ming Dynasty was eaten alive by a group of clans before, and this can't happen again in the future.
Prenatal and postnatal care, starting from a certain new emperor, it is better to have as few children as possible to avoid conflicts between brothers and sisters in the future.
How bad would it be to make you and I live to death?
A certain new emperor thought it would be best for both parties to die together directly, so that it would completely stop!
How many armored ships can be sold with the red envelope money given to a group of children?
The most important thing is not to waste your precious funds on non-major projects.
In order to win the Boer War, Britain spent hundreds of millions of pounds to completely eliminate the mixed-race indigenous people in South Africa, but the return was close to zero.
With this money, at least sixty Queen-class battleships can be built. Even if they don't fire and just bask in the sun in the waters of the North Sea, the German Navy still dares to go out and dance?
With sixty Queen-class battleships...
The British Navy's maritime supremacy can be maintained at least until the end of World War II!
Therefore, a certain new emperor was not interested at all in a war that could not see much return, let alone launch one.
Retaking the Northeast is unavoidable. If you don't do it, the braids will come and beat you.
Attacking Luzon can prevent the South Sea route from being threatened by Spanish warships and gain a grain-producing area at the same time.
The expedition to America can absorb the supplies Zhang Xianzhong obtained in the North American continent, and can also go to South America to scrape territory.
Team up with France and Holland to fight England and Spain. After that, there will be two less scourges in the world to share the cake with.
From now on, the Ming Dynasty will be a first-rate country, France, the Netherlands, and the Ottomans will be considered second-rate countries, and the Pan-German region, Russia, and Sweden will be considered third-rate countries.
It doesn't matter to a certain new emperor whether there is such a thing as Portugal, there is no sense of existence at all.
Therefore, most of the military expenditures must be spent on the main battlefields. The thirty-three newly married beauties should be kept in captivity first.
They will not be missing out on food, clothing, and play. Apart from not being able to go out and having to undergo a lot of training from the Queen's Residence, there are not many restrictions.
For the selected woman, a certain new emperor would first give two thousand taels of silver to each family as settlement allowance for her mother's family.
You don’t need any money, you can choose equivalent value vouchers from Qianqi Department Store, which must be more popular.
Even if he finally becomes a relative of the emperor, he will not be as arrogant, arrogant, or even as fishy and meaty as before.
All the natal family also have to accept the treatment of being kept in captivity. If they don't accept it, their daughters will not be able to stay in the rear mansion.
Everything you get comes at a price, let alone being related to the royal family.
A certain new emperor also plans to use this method to further reduce the number of new wives.
Spend less money to marry your wife now, and you can spend less money to share with their children in the future.
However, a certain mother may not agree. After all, her son can sow widely but reap little...
