Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

“Everyone knows its harm, but no one can avoid it.”

Xu let out a long sigh.

The late emperor certainly had good intentions, but he could not stop the people below him from taking advantage of loopholes.

No matter what is required from above, people in the world will always try to turn things in a self-serving direction.

And the world is the cruelest.

How could such a situation be reversed when so many women, generation after generation, were inspired by the spirit of altruistic dedication?

“Just let women support themselves!

As long as there is work that a woman can do and can support herself, even if the man in the family dies, she can still support her children.

They are not so easily controlled by others!

Mother, I want to set up girls' schools and workshops in the capital.

We are not in the previous Yuan period anymore.

Without all the burning, killing and looting, to be honest, the capital city is much more dangerous than the imperial capital.

The women in our capital are not afraid.

The capital should not be afraid!"

Zhu Zhiming felt that the bottom line was that women were unable to go out and find a job to support themselves.

Then let them find work!

She used to feel like she couldn’t find the direction in her life.

It's nothing more than getting married, having children, and living a happy life.

But, at this moment.

She suddenly had it.

She and Zhu Anle followed Zhang Xin to set up the women's workshop and women's school in the capital little by little.

At the beginning, the total number of people in the workshop and the school was less than two digits.

Also, after only two months of studying, my family wouldn't let me come back.

Zhang Xin used both soft and hard tactics, and even offered food as a lure, in order to get the officials' families in the capital to cooperate and actually get a group of students and trainees.

The wives of officials, distant aunts and uncles, and all the poor relatives were all used.

Only then were these two places maintained.

At that time, she didn't understand the significance of Zhang Xin's arrangements for these things.

It's a thankless job and I have to work hard.

But the first batch of people who graduated in the workshop have already found jobs.

There are more female clerks, waitresses, female managers and female accountants in the shops on Zhongjie Street.

This is a living example.

They and Zhang Xin have also experienced times when they were criticized by others.

Got through that period.

Wherever she went in the capital, she saw devout smiling faces everywhere.

She couldn't believe it.

The capital can’t get over it!

Originally, she was thinking that after cooperating with Zhang Xin, she would ask her mother to move back to Beijing.

Not now.

She wants to twist the capital into a dough twist.

“Great!!!!”

Zhang Xin was inexplicably moved.

The sister-in-law she brought up spoke out her thoughts.

"It's not a one- or two-day thing."

Xu was also very pleased, but she still gave a reminder.

"I won't marry. I will marry when I have built up my workshop and school and they are successful!"

Zhu Zhiming knew who his aunts married.

No need.

It’s better to stay at home and not get married.

"Uh, that's over."

Xu frowned in disapproval.

"How about waiting for mom to improve the quality of dad's consort?"

Zhu Zhiming bargained.

"Seconded!"

Zhu Anle also raised his hand.

God knows, it turns out that so many aunts married princes-in-law who were nothing.

No matter how I think about it, this doesn't seem right.

A princess from a royal family, still being controlled by her husband's family?

What are you doing? !

"So, the pressure is on me again?"

Xu raised an eyebrow.

"Mother can do anything. Mother, work hard!"

"roll--"

"Mother's words 'get out' have the aura of a queen, grand and magnanimous, upright and unyielding—"

"I see you haven't been studying lately!"

"Well, my guess is right. Mom, you are the bug in our stomach—"

"You're asking for death! Xin'er, use the cane!"

"Here you go, Mom, do you want a large, extra large, or an extra extra large?"

"Sister-in-law...hates you——"

"Ah, help-"

"Invincible Flower Scattering Hand, hit!"

···········

The women in the imperial city were thinking about how to push forward various reforms in the harem so that women across the country would not have to live in poverty, but it ended up in a mess.

Zhu Gaochi was not idle either. He was a poor man and could not sit idle.

The two younger brothers are completely in a mess.

He sometimes comes and sometimes doesn't.

When he didn't come, they had a ready-made excuse to inspect the Beijing camp.

As the only remaining representative among the princes, Zhu Gaochi had to stand there even if he was the only one to be stabbed.

Motivated by a bad mood.

He frequently teased Zhu Di at his morning court, afternoon meetings, and large conferences.

of course.

There was also the intention of secretly cooperating with Xu and Zhang Xin to take precautions against the court officials.

Zhu Di's morning court was at the same time as that of the previous emperor.

When it was still pitch black outside.

He got to sit on the supreme chair.

I sat there for more than two hours.

Court officials often talk about the same old things.

There's a disaster here, unrest there, talk about the unrest in someone's family, and talk about the eldest prince's wife and the two little princesses who often show off in public.

The princesses have been restless recently, with people coming and going in the princess palaces.

The censor impeached Prince Ning for privately building sea vessels and undermining the Ming Dynasty.

There were also censors who impeached King Zhou for not receiving officials who came to pay him a visit.

There were still a few people in the six departments who opposed moving the capital.

The Ministry of War kept submitting reports on the progress of the abolition of border guard posts.

The Ministry of Industry complained that it was difficult to find shipbuilders and sought to introduce advanced shipbuilding technology from other countries.

The Ministry of Justice hinted at a new year name, and wondered whether to grant amnesty again to reduce the burden on prisons.

The Ministry of Personnel is shouting that it is short of people every day, and every memorial submitted is a recommendation.

The Ministry of Revenue mainly played the role of crying poor. Prince Ning brought ten treasure ships with him on his voyage this time, and took away tens of millions of silver coins.

There were also some court officials who were obviously there just to keep watch and did not say a word from beginning to end.

Zhu Di was extremely annoyed.

Even though he had already written it in the memorial, he still had to say it again in the court.

My ears are callused from listening so much.

In addition, after two months of getting up early every day to listen to nagging, Zhu Di had lost the novelty of becoming emperor.

It's a conditioned reflex that makes me feel sleepy as soon as I sit on the throne.

In order to prevent his father from falling asleep, Zhu Gaochi would occasionally contradict Zhu Di.

April 5th.

Zhu Di ordered the change of the Beijing Xingdusi to the Daning Dusi, and moved it from Daning to Baoding.

Zhu Gaochi:

"This won't work, Dad. Liaodong and Xuanfu are cut off from each other, and the northern defense is weak."

The eighth day of April.

Zhu Di ordered the selection of those with clean family backgrounds, handsome personalities and mature age to come to Beijing for selection.

Zhu Gaochi:

"Dad, please change it. The daughter of a noble or a minister can also be fine. My third brother is so outgoing."

The ninth day of April.

Hu Huan, who was then the acting governor of Annan, sent an envoy to Nanjing to congratulate Zhu Di on his accession to the throne.

Zhu Gaochi:

"Huh, Dad, what time is it already? It's been almost a year since Dad ascended the throne. Did he crawl all the way here from Annan?"

The tenth day of April.

Zhu Di ordered the shipyards in Fujian to undertake the construction of large treasure ships. Among them, the Fujian Dusi built 137 sea-going ships, and the Beijing Guards and the prefectures of Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Suzhou and other places built more than 200 sea-going ships.

Zhu Gaochi:

"Dad, Fujian has built too many ships. The regulations for lifting the maritime ban have not been completed yet."
