Chapter 235 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 38
After the imperial examination, regardless of the world's various speculations and conspiracy theories about the empress's actions, these are not things that Yan Ying cares about. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have already produced the cement and bricks she produced.
Yan Ying asked Jingming to call rich people from various places to Beijing in the name of the Governor of Dongchang to establish the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.
Using the sale of cement and bricks and tiles as bait, wealthy businessmen from all over the country were asked to pay for the construction of schools and roads for the country. All parties started construction at the same time. Six thousand tribute students went to teach.
The new officials who have just entered the court have also begun to get used to the empress's swift and non-sloppy style of doing things. They also gradually pay attention to practical things. In the restaurant, Yan Ying freed one hand.
Unknowingly, in July, good news came from all over the country, the grain harvest was bumper, farmers danced and danced, and officials were all smiling.
Yan Ying even checked the agricultural tax all night, and finally led several ministers to argue endlessly, revised and revised, and finally decided to lighten the tax, exempt corvee, and change to commercial tax.
Farmers have food in their hands, and Yan Ying, the empress who brought new grains to spread, has changed her reputation from a murderous woman who killed her father and brother to the country and is now regarded as a god by the common people.
For the illiterate people, whoever can fill their stomachs, they will serve.
And for those officials who used to be the courtiers of Daliang, but now they are idle at home, Yan Ying's usurping Daliang can be said to be a notorious, vicious villain.
Such a group of obstinate old-fashioned and stubborn, relying on their official status, wrote a few sour poems at home every day angrily criticizing the empress, which was quite sought after by other literati.
What's more, the grass growing in the flower pot turned around and scolded the empress, a weed took over the host, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest;
The flower fell and scolded the empress yesterday, the yellow flower dared to compete with the sun and the moon.
If the wind blows today and scolds her for being unkind, tomorrow it will rain and scold her for being unrighteous.
When Jingming sent the poems and words they wrote to the imperial study, Yan Ying's smile gradually became dangerous: "You know that monkey grandson who can dominate the mountains and make troubles in the heavens, how did he end up?" subdue him?"
"Today I will show you what is Tang Seng's magic spell!"
Yan Ying first gave these people who scolded her a few imperial edicts to expropriate them to become officials. She knew what these people had done, so naturally she didn't dare to seek death in front of the empress, so they complained of illness at home one by one, don't go.
Old stubborn: "We only go there when we are sick. It would be nice to be a leisurely celebrity traveling around the mountains and rivers."
Yan Ying smiled: "You can't come because you're sick, come here, find some imperial physicians to grab a few pairs of Coptis chinensis for them, and make sure they eat them in the next life; then find a few monks to chant scriptures to drive away evil spirits, so that they can have nothing to do. Come torment me, I will chant scriptures in your ears every day, and I won’t bother you to death.”
A group of stubborn old people never expected that Dongchang Banzi would bring the imperial physician to see a doctor. They didn’t write a prescription after reading it, but someone immediately brought a bowl of soup that was so bitter that they could spit out bile. After eating, another one came Monk, knock on the wooden fish and chant scriptures in front of your face.
At first, I could listen to it for a few hours, but when I listened to it, it was like a ghost filling my ears, my blood pressure soared, and I had another bowl of Coptis chinensis, protest, and there are people from Dongchang staring at me, as if I will let you in the next second Move your head.
After three days in a row, a group of stubborn old men went from high-spirited to now exhausted as if they had smoked opium, and their spirits were almost tormented.
Five days later, some people couldn't stand it any longer, and began to write notes and surrender. There was no way, the empress made it clear to you two ways: if you want to be tortured to death, you still have to live.
As a normal person, everyone would choose the latter.
With the first one, there will be the second one. Soon, this group of forces who resisted the Empress's regime was suppressed by Yan Ying before there was any splash.
When Yan Ying received the surrender letter, she laughed and picked up the poems and prose that the group of people scolded her and praised: "The literary talent is quite good, it's a pity not to teach. Let them go to government schools and train talents for the country."
This trick is called: beat magic with magic.
In the blink of an eye, at the end of autumn, every household has set up heated kangs, and craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry are still teaching farmers how to use kangs.
Yan Ying finished tossing about the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, and started to work on the laws handed down from the previous dynasty. She summoned the officials of the court to start a war of words, a war of words between you and me, and finally, Yan Ying threw the table in anger, and the courtiers Kneeling anxiously is over.
After some bargaining, Yan Ying founded a women's school in the year, announcing that women are allowed to have family inheritance rights, land rights, and allow women to enter government schools, take imperial examinations, and even enter the court as officials, enjoying the same rights as men.
After this law was promulgated, it exploded!
Empress Yan Ying's country was originally usurped from Daliang by means of conspiracy. You accepted her, but after the new year, you are lucky to poke a hole in the sky!
For men in ancient times, no matter what the good things you did before, no matter what they are, the ones who benefit are men, and the ones who enjoy the dividends are also men. Women should obey the three virtues and bear children for men. But now, the empress alone It doesn't count if people rebel against the sky, this is to bring all the women from all over the country to rebel together.
This is not bad! ! !
The capital exploded, and an old master took a group of students to parade in public to protest at the gate of the palace. Whether they were watching the excitement or protesting together, the number of people following this was increasing.
Yan Ying knew that this time, it would be impossible for her not to show up.
The gate of the city opened, and Yan Ying wore a dragon robe and looked at the group of men who claimed to be righteous and filled with righteous indignation. When they saw the Empress appear, they protested louder:
"How can I be an equal to a woman?"
"A woman obeys her father before she is married, obeys her husband when she is married, and obeys her son after her husband dies. If the ethics are reversed, what is the norm?"
"The idiot is as stupid as a pig, how can he enter the elegant hall? It's just nonsense"
"..."
Yan Ying looked at the group of people as if they were a pile of corpses: "Are you not convinced that women are allowed to serve as officials?"
After Yan Ying's words fell, the group of people became more emotional.
A middle-aged man in a long gown stood up: "I'm not convinced. Throughout the ages, women have long hair but short knowledge. What else can they do besides being gossips?"
Yan Ying smiled sarcastically: "You call your mother an old woman, your wife a bitch, and your daughter a dog girl. Every name you call despises women, but you also despise yourself."
"Today you asked me, what did the woman do in this world?"
"Then let me answer you: Is it a big thing for them to create a country with hundreds of millions of people?"
The middle-aged man didn't seem to expect Yan Ying to give this answer, and his eyes widened in shock. This was obviously a fact that everyone turned a blind eye to.
