Chapter 308 Going to His Cold Kiln for Eighteen Years 16
After arranging things such as maritime trade and cement, Jian Jian made no other big moves and started doing regular things. After all, there was not much money left in the treasury after being eroded by canonization rewards, gunpowder for shipbuilding and other gold-eating beasts.
Therefore, even if she now has thousands of ideas and ambitions, she still needs every financial foundation to support her in doing so.
Moreover, Jian Yi has only been on the throne for only two months, and the big and small things she has arranged before have not yet seen results. She is now at a stage that requires investment and development.
At this time, if you want to do this and that, and have so many ideas, it will definitely leave a bad impression in the hearts of civil and military officials and the people of the world that they are overjoyed at success, greedy for success, exhausted, and unrealistic in doing things.
In ordinary times, with ordinary status, Jian Jian would definitely not take outsiders' views and public opinions at all.
But not now, because she is now the leader of a country, and she has to set an example for all people and for future generations.
And Jian Yi is still a woman. In ancient times where women were very unfair and unfriendly, as an empress, sometimes she really had to be dignified and steady.
Otherwise, it will make people think that women are just women. Even the woman who can conquer the world is still just a short-sighted woman, completely inferior to men who are tall and have a long-term vision.
Seeing that Jian Yi was free, the courtiers began to urge Jian Yi, a single man, to get married.
Originally, these courtiers didn't want to talk. After all, they were all men, and their Majesty was a daughter. This, this was so embarrassing.
But if their wives were to enter the palace to persuade the emperor, or the emperor, the emperor, and the empress dowager, would it make the emperor feel that they looked down on her and had objections to her becoming emperor as a woman?
So this matter became a big stone that weighed heavily on the minds of all the ministers. It was hard to get up and down, and there was no precedent for this matter before, so they couldn't do anything as usual.
In the end, they pushed out the former old master and now Uncle Chang Yuan and the old marquis and asked him to persuade them.
No matter what, Chang Yuan Bo and Lao Zhen Yuan Hou are also His Majesty's teachers, aren't they? Isn't it normal for elders to care about the life events of younger generations?
Jian Yi felt very relieved to see that they finally thought of this.
Although she is not a lusty woman, she has done almost all the things she can do at hand. She needs money to do it and time to wait, so isn't she free now?
This person will want to relax as soon as he has some free time. As an adult, it is normal to have needs in various aspects, right?
However, despite being happy, she still needed to save face. As soon as the courtiers said it was not good, she agreed, which made it seem like she was very eager.
So Jian Yan left the news about how Uncle Chang Yuan and Marquis Lao Zhen Yuan asked her to select a handsome man and recruit a harem for the time being.
When the courtiers saw that Jian Jian did not respond, they asked Uncle Chang Yuan and Lao Zhen Yuan to make two more concessions, but Jian Jian remained silent.
When the courtiers saw this, they were a little anxious. What could the country do without a crown prince? So they all went to the court together. After two days of courtship, there was still no response from Jian Yi. They asked the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Seeing this, Jian Yi felt that it was almost time, so he responded to the matter at the court meeting.
"The draft is okay, but now the national treasury is tight and there are too many projects that need to be spent, so this draft must not be too expensive and waste people and money."
Although Jian Yi seems to have been tortured by the courtiers and finally agreed, in fact Jian Yi is still quite happy in his heart.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing that Jian Yi was finally willing to relent, the court officials quickly agreed, and they felt that Jian Yi's offer was quite reasonable.
Seeing the reaction of the courtiers, Jian Yi was quite satisfied, and then said loudly: "Song Aiqing, I'll leave this matter to you."
The Minister of Rites hurriedly came out and said, "Yes, I must do my best."
This is the Queen's first draft, and women are different from men. Men can have many children. If a man wants to, there is no problem even if he wants twenty or thirty backstage.
But women can't. A woman can only have a few children in her life, and these days, children are too fragile to support.
In addition, each child was conceived by their mother for ten months and raised with all kinds of hardships, which means that the mother's affection for the child is much deeper than that of the father.
For various reasons, the earlier a man can become the queen, the more likely his descendants will be to ascend to that position in the future.
Thinking of this, the blood of all the courtiers boiled. As soon as the court and errands were completed, everyone went home without stopping to discuss with their parents and old wives to see which child in the family should be pushed out and let him become the emperor.
Draft and make him the queen's man.
But although the man who became the queen looked quite human, ancient times was a patriarchal society after all. Whether it was a young man from the aristocratic class or a man from the poor class, everyone was the backbone of the family, unlike those who were raised to be men since childhood.
Accessories of the canary woman.
Therefore, those men who are truly talented, capable, and ambitious cannot accept becoming a member of the Queen's Palace and competing with other men for a woman's favor.
But they really don't dare to send the second generation ancestor who is talented but not talented, and who is moral but not moral.
What if the Queen feels that the people they sent are too bad, or those ignorant second-generation ancestors cause trouble in the harem and anger the Queen? Wouldn't that be a catastrophe for the whole family?
As a result, the courtiers who were still enthusiastic at first became depressed one by one after going home to discuss the matter with their families.
While the courtiers were racking their brains one by one, Jian Jian was also busy in the harem.
This harem was originally used to house concubines and women. Therefore, the ratio of maids to eunuchs and guards in the harem is about seven to two to one. This arrangement can not only protect the safety of the concubines, but also effectively prevent the concubines.
Their cheating and so on.
However, now that the emperor has become a woman and the concubine has become a man, everything has been reversed.
Under such circumstances, if we still follow the old rules, there is no guarantee that the male concubines will not want to put a cuckold on Jian Jian's head. After all, there are not many ugly maids who can enter the palace to serve the emperor's concubines.
ah.
Think about it, if there are a large number of beautiful women walking in front of you every day, who can bear this?
Therefore, it is very important to change the current structure of the harem, so I simply leave this matter to the Queen Mother.
Yes, Queen Mother.
In any case, the Queen Mother is also a real woman who has been in charge of the backyard of the Prime Minister's Palace for nearly thirty-five years. She must have a lot of skills and means to control her subordinates, and she also knows more about this convenient matter.
Although there is a big difference between the harem and the backyard, they cannot be separated from each other, and Dali is the same.
