The chief attendant came over, quietly handed over the silver dollar, and said in a low voice: "Two military masters, please show your noble hands. Please accept it with a small smile."

The two patrolmen swallowed, hesitated for a few seconds, accepted the silver coins calmly, and warned: "You should go home immediately and don't go out of the city to offer incense. This time is really the emperor's order. The county magistrate will keep a close eye on him. After returning home,

Those who have bound feet should put their feet down quickly. Also, bow shoes are not allowed to be worn in the future. If you wear them, your family will be in bad luck."

A female family member who wore bow shoes said angrily: "Why are you not allowed to wear them? The emperor has no control over heaven and earth, so does women have to bind their feet? I just bound my feet, and it didn't hurt my body!"

This woman's feet were bound in an ordinary way, even in the northern style of foot binding. Apart from her slender feet, there was nothing unusual about her.

There are many types of bow shoes, and most of them are not harmful to the body. There are even men's shoes that are also bow shoes.

But the imperial court wanted to cut it across the board. When Zhao Han was alive, no one would dare to wear bow shoes. As for the round-faced pointy shoes that fit deformed feet, and other deformed styles, they had not yet been seen in this era.

invented.

When the patrolman heard that the woman dared to refute, he immediately threw the silver dollar back and said sternly: "I can't tell you clearly, but I'd better go to jail!"

Chang Sui hurriedly stuffed the silver coins away and said flatteringly: "Master Jun, please don't be angry, we will go home immediately."

It is impossible to stop corruption and bribery by officials and the police. The larger the territory, the more complicated the situation becomes.

Fortunately, the group targeted by the "Prohibition of Foot Binding Order" is not such adult women, but poor developing girls.

At this moment, schools across the county were in a state of uproar.

In particular, girls' schools are a key target for investigation. The girls who study here have rich or noble families, and they are the main group for foot binding.

Classical historian Yang Zhen asked female teachers to check the feet of female students, and soon found more than a dozen toes that were deformed. He summoned all the students in the school and lectured on the spot: "Your Majesty said, "The Book of Filial Piety" says that if the body is hairy and skin is damaged, it will be damaged.

Don't dare to hurt your parents, this is the beginning of filial piety. If your parents bind your feet and hurt your body, it is unfilial. Even if your parents let you bind your feet and hurt your body, it is unfilial. Anyone who binds their feet is an unfilial daughter and will not be able to marry in the future..."

There were already girls who were so frightened that they cried loudly.

Yang Zhen added: "It's not too late to relax now. As long as you relax enough and no longer damage your body, you will be filial. The principal and teachers of the girls' school have reminded me to check regularly every month in the future. That girl

Dare to bind feet,

Report it to the government immediately! If there is any concealment, the girls’ school will be closed immediately!”

Under normal circumstances, the central government has policies and grassroots officials implement them one-size-fits-all.

This time the ban is very special. It is a one-size-fits-all policy from the central government, but grassroots officials try to soften it. The reason is that the targets are all noble ladies. If there is a stalemate, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Local officials must leave room for leeway.

.

Therefore, in girls' schools, there is no punishment for the time being if someone is found to have bound feet, they just let them go and that's the end of it.
