"I believe that private prostitution is a huge hidden danger that endangers the fundamentals of the country."
Ling Chan explained her thoughts: "First of all, in the Great Yong Dynasty, there were more men than women -"
"How can you see that?" Emperor Qianhua looked indifferent and said calmly: "When making decisions on state affairs, you must make inferences based on accurate data, not your own imagination."
Emperor Qianhua once specially sent people to make statistics on the distribution of men and women in the capital. It was relatively balanced and far from being a cancer.
"The reason why the capital is balanced is because everyone is rich. When I was at home, the relatives, uncles and aunts around me only wanted boys who could help the family when they grow up. And most of the girls who are slightly weaker than They were all drowned, or a few were sold to Renyazi after they were old enough to stand.
There are still only a few people like me who keep it until they are five or six years old before selling it.
It was easy for the top nobles to take wives and concubines, because the female resources of the entire Great Yong Dynasty were converging on them.
But the bachelors at the lower level are different. There are fewer women around them, and there are a large number of beautiful farm girls who are voluntarily or forced to be sold into the brothels. If there are fewer women, men will start making trouble if they cannot find wives, which is detrimental to the stability of the country. If things go on like this, even the country's population will decline.
If private prostitution can be abolished, many women who are now trapped in brothels can be liberated, their illnesses can be cured, and they can be married off, which can greatly stabilize the lower class. "
Lingchan laughed at this statement deep in her heart. She never believed that women had to be dependent on men and marry to survive, but she had to take into account the current situation of this small world. In this feudal dynasty, where women were lacking Under productivity, the innate physical difference between men and women cannot be ignored, and it is difficult to develop equal social status between men and women... of course it is not impossible.
But things have to be done step by step, and the current plan has the highest success rate.
Emperor Qianhua's eyes were deep.
He looked at the girl in front of him. The earth dragon in the Pearl Palace was burning brightly. Lingchan was only wearing a thin gauze skirt. Her slender figure was clearly visible, and she was so fragile that she could break it with one hand.
She is still so beautiful, she is the poor lonely person in the back house, she is the dodder flower who cannot live without him, she is the weak little girl who will not fight back even if she is let down.
Who would have thought? Such a poor person, what she sees is the entire empire under her feet, and every moaning and wailing individual in the country?
What a treasure...
Emperor Qianhua carefully pressed Lingchan's messy hair and smiled: "So what? The only people who can't get a wife are the lowest and most miserable people. Their existence does not help the country at all, even if they are Even if you get tired of living and go crazy, you won't be able to make any big waves."
Emperor Qianhua had been in charge of the country for more than ten years, how could he not know what Lingchan said?
But the emperor, standing high in the clouds, did not bother to look down at the people struggling in the soil.
Lingchan pursed her lips.
Emperor Qianhua pulled her to his side and patiently explained to her: "Don't focus on the common people at the bottom. They are insignificant. Managing a country is like managing a sheepfold. I am the sheepfold." Master, the officials are my shepherd dogs, and the common people are my sheep. Their thoughts are irrelevant. It should not be too few. Too few cannot support the operation of the country, but it should not be too many. If there are too many sheep, there will not be enough fodder. There will be internal friction in the circle.”
The ideas of the feudal emperor were cold-blooded and cruel. Except for himself, the subjects and people under his command were just tools at his mercy.
But Lingchan felt that this shouldn't be the case.
Her eyes were extremely stubborn.
Emperor Qian Hua laughed and backed down slightly, "These ideas are still your subjective opinions and are not supported by any dossier plan."
Lingchan keenly sensed Emperor Qianhua's softening. Her eyes lit up and she immediately said: "Then what if I can calculate it?!"
"What are you thinking about?" Emperor Qianhua sighed: "You are my concubine Chen, are you still thinking about going to the countryside to conduct household inspections one by one?"
"So……?"
"I will allocate people for you. You can just ask others to do these hard tasks." Emperor Qianhua pinched Lingchan's little nose affectionately, "You just stay in the palace and be a commander who coordinates all directions. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lingchan blinked her eyes and asked more carefully: "Can I ask the Crown Prince to come and help me?"
Prince...?
Just now I thought this little girl had a broad vision and a boundless mind, but in the blink of an eye she started to bring in private stuff again and wanted to torment people?
Emperor Qianhua clicked his tongue, "At such a young age, I still hold grudges.
"Is your Majesty sure?"
Emperor Qian Hua hugged her and said, "Yes."
…
On the second day, Emperor Qianhua's decree was promulgated.
Because the imperial concubine was from a weak background and sympathized with the misery of women who were prostitutes in the world, Emperor Qianhua decided to ban private prostitution. This matter was left to the imperial concubine, with the prince's assistance.
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the capital.
Before anger, the first emotion that comes to mind is absurdity.
Fu Lingchan is a woman! She is the emperor's woman. If she doesn't just stay in the palace and take care of her husband and raise children, why is she dancing in the front court?
Above the court, a large number of people came out and said: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Emperor Qianhua sat high on the dragon chair and said nothing. The bead curtain hanging in front of him blocked all his expressions.
Another group of people retorted angrily: "The noble concubine cares about her family and country. You guys only look at her as a woman. How can you not be narrow-minded?"
Emperor Qianhua was not surprised. He knew exactly what these two groups of people were thinking.
The first group of people have their minds corrupted by ethics, and the second group of people are blinded by power.
Emperor Qianhua is delegating power! Lingchan is a woman, can she check the private prostitutes in the capital one by one, or can she count the number of prostitutes? These are some things that she still has to leave to others!
This is a real right!
It is said that the prince is asked to assist, but who doesn't know the relationship between the prince and the imperial concubine? How could the imperial concubine be so indifferent to His Highness the Crown Prince!
In the harem, the number of invitations and gifts delivered to Lingchan surged, and everyone wanted to rub her in the east wind and hug Emperor Qianhua's golden thighs.
The number of licking dogs around her doubled again, and no matter where she went, Lingchan was surrounded by people, who flattered and flattered her endlessly.
They also drove away a palace maid who recommended herself in the middle of the road, which made Chan very annoyed.
She pinched her forehead and calmly ordered: "Change to the East Palace."
…
East Palace.
The sun was shining brightly today, but Tantai Zhi had no time to appreciate it. He buried his head in the papers and looked through the county annals in his hand. The pen in his hand kept excerpting the key points.
The servants ran in in a panic, "Your Highness, it's not good——!"
Tantai Zhi frowned, "Don't act in such a panic."
The servant gasped and finished the second half of the sentence, "The imperial concubine is here!"
Tantai Zhi's hand trembled, and the brush that had just been dipped in thick ink twisted out a dazzling ink ball on the smooth rice paper.
After a moment of silence, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Then take the people to pick you up. Be sure to serve your lady well and don't lose your etiquette."
