Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

Many people in the venue looked unhappy.

You know, the Yangzhou thin horse is considered a trend in the Jiangnan area, and is even given to each other as a heavy gift by many dignitaries and dignitaries - after all, a good Yangzhou thin horse costs a thousand and five hundred taels of silver.

Now Cen Mingche's scolding really criticized all of them.

"Your Highness, everyone has his own merits. Maybe you haven't realized it..."

"No need, the deformity of those little feet makes you sick just by looking at them."

In fact, there is another important point. Due to the popularity of thin horses in Yangzhou, many people will deliberately recruit five or six-year-old girls from poor families, train them from childhood, and sell them to rich people as concubines in the future, or sell them into fireworks venues.

Natural reasons determine that the ratio of men to women in the world is basically one to one. In ancient times, when there were no wars, women's loss rate was slightly higher due to childbearing and son preference.

There are no women who cannot marry, only men who cannot marry a wife.

The sale of thin horses in Yangzhou will aggravate this situation, and foot binding will also increase the mortality rate of women.

Originally, these girls from poor families might have grown up hungry and well-fed, and would later marry ordinary teenagers from the same village, forming a stable but fragile family.

But due to the popularity of thin horses, a big gap will gradually appear among women at the bottom.

This means that more men than before are unable to find wives.

When a rich man can have hundreds of concubines, but there are thousands of poor people who can't even get wives...

It will become a huge destabilizing factor in society.

At this time, there is no TikTok for those people to distract their energy!

This country will be his world in the future!

Will the emergence of rebels or bandits make him proud?

Population is the primary productive force!

Just because of the disgusting hobbies of these "upper class people", there may be turmoil and unrest at the bottom of society...

Besides, Cen Mingche really doesn’t think there’s anything beautiful about Chao’s little feet!

Is it a morbid aesthetic? !

Damn it.

Cen Mingche frowned.

"If you like this kind of thing, go ahead and like it, but don't let me see it. It's just dirtying my eyes."

"Yes Yes Yes Yes."

Li Yanshang quickly waved his hand and told the dancers with bound feet to leave.

The scene was silent for a while.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. After all, skinny horses are a specialty here. It's just a little thought of me to present them to you. It's my fault that we didn't think carefully and only put the best ones on the table."

The governor of Yangzhou came out to smooth things over.

"Chen Zhizhou is interested."

Cen Mingche laughed it off on the surface, but in his heart he had already decided that once he came to power, he would eradicate this bad habit of the previous dynasty completely.

If your little feet look good, then they must be natural little feet!

A petite girl with a pair of petite feet, snow-white and pink, and nails like pink pearls.

Just like Jin Yong wrote about Guo Jing watching Huang Rong wash her feet, and then this loyal and honest man was extremely shy.

This is beautiful!

He didn't believe it. He took off his embroidered shoes and foot-wrapping cloth, and a normal man could still be interested in a pair of feet wrapped like that.

Have a mental illness?Admiring Chou, or admiring Can?

What's more, small feet will greatly increase the probability of a woman dying before childbearing age.

As a ruler, the loss of a large number of women of childbearing age is a greater loss than the loss of money.

Not to mention that small feet can indirectly lead to dystocia.

For an agricultural country, increasing population is its lifeblood!

Cen Mingche smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped Liu Bohong.

"Besides, my brother-in-law is still sitting here, so you are giving me a woman? Aren't you afraid that I will be beaten out by my wife when I go back?"

Everyone present laughed in a dignified manner.

That's it.

that night.

"Sir, our business... has been suspended for several days. You see..."

"Are you desperate for your life? The Third Prince's guard of honor is here to stay, and everything will be strictly investigated. If our business is found out, I will certainly be hurt, but your whole family will be destroyed!"

"I understand, I understand, we are good citizens who cannot be more law-abiding."

"Huh, you're pretty clear-headed."

"By the way, sir, what we are doing, will the Third Highness know..."

"Yes? No. What can a young boy like me do?"

"Then you think, should I give him something else?"

"Send them away? Don't you have several thin horses in your hands? Can't you just send them over?"

"But, sir, His Highness... doesn't like women with small feet."

"Don't you have several daughters? Your feet are not bound, right?"

"Yes, yes, the younger one will give his daughter to His Highness the Third Highness as a concubine, and then give her a dowry of one hundred thousand silver, 1 taels of gold, and twenty handfuls of pearls. What do you think?"

"You can take care of these little things yourself. As long as you fool him, our business will still be open."

"With these words from the adults, the little one will feel relieved!"

There was a low chuckle from the adult.

"Boss Li, let's work together and make a lot of money together, ah?"

"Yes, the wealth will be prosperous, the wealth will be prosperous."

……

Cen Mingche looked at Li Yanshang's face with a flattering smile and didn't even want to be angry anymore. He wanted to laugh.

No, he seems to be so in need of women?

The skinny horse didn't get stuffed, so why don't you stuff him with a daughter?

No, he is a dignified prince, but he needs a woman?

Take another look at the "dowry list".

Oh, I understand, it’s not just about stuffing my daughter, it’s also stuffing me with money, in the hope of blowing my pillow.

Sorry, I am not short of money either!

Cen Mingche casually threw away the dowry list filled with gold, silver, pearls and jade, and looked at Li Yanshang with a half-smile.

"Boss Li, what does this mean?"

Li Yanshang nodded and bowed.

"This, this, His Highness is so heroic and handsome that the little girl in the family fell in love with him at first sight. This, this is not my infatuation as a father, wanting to fulfill my daughter..."

Come again, come again.

Commander Cao used the same words when he gave him his daughter, and Li Yanshang used the same words when he gave him his daughter.

Did you two have a dialogue with each other?

Do you really want to hook up with him?

Sorry, I won't cooperate.

"Boss Li, I think you may have misunderstood something."

Cen Mingche stood up with a smile and walked slowly around Li Yanshang.

Li Yanshang's back was soaked with sweat.

"This prince is not short of money, nor is he short of women."

"Even if you want to please me, you should get something you can use in exchange."

"Don't treat me like the king, treat me like others."

Cen Mingche gently tapped Li Yanshang's shoulder with the folding fan in his hand.

Li Yanshang felt uneasy. After being hit like this, his legs went weak and he knelt down on the spot.

"Hey, Boss Li, why are you kneeling? Get up, get up, I won't blame you, right?"

"It's just, Boss Li, you can't look down on me."

Cen Mingche frowned slightly, shook his head, opened the folding fan, and shook it twice, still with a gentle smile on his face.

"Before you give me a gift, you have to ask me what I like, right?"

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be just carrying three animals to worship Guanyin and giving the wrong tribute?"

"Boss Li, you have no intention."

"Tsk, no, Boss Li is such a well-rounded businessman, how could he not be careful?"

"Oh, I understand. Boss Li looks down on Xiao Wang, a mere county king, and wants to send me away casually, right?"
