The area of ​​the Empress Palace of the Great Yin Dynasty is not small. If the area of ​​the palace of the former dynasty is excluded, the area of ​​the Harem Palace is approximately a square, with a length and width of more than 1000 meters and an area of ​​more than [-] hectares.

On such a huge area, there are pavilions, terraces, pavilions, palaces and palaces.The entire palace complex relied on the natural terrain and natural scenery at the beginning of its construction, enclosing a delicate low mountain and a flat lake at the foot of the mountain within the scope of the palace.Both the mountain and the lake have been given elegant names, one is Cuiwei Mountain and the other is Jingcheng Lake.

It was originally a beautiful scenery, but under the imperial power, it became a private scenic spot, only for the emperor and the concubines who have nothing to do all day to watch and play.I once boarded the observation tower specially built by the lake, overlooking the entire harem from a height.There are rows of flowers in clusters, which is not unsightly.

The entire palace is the crystallization of the beauty and wisdom of the working people, how can it not be beautiful?But no matter how wide the area inside the wall is, it is not the whole world.The farthest place I looked from the tower was the rolling mountains covered by clouds and mist under the blue sky.There is Changyuan Mountain, the highest place above the vast river plain where the capital is located.

Shi Qiang once mentioned Changyuan Mountain to me. She said that there is a horse farm under Changyuan Mountain, and the good horses raised there are the source of war horses in the entire Great Yin army.When she was young, she was taken there by her grandfather, and with her grandfather's permission, she rode a pony and ran wantonly on the endless pasture.

There have been several generations of officials in Shi Qiang's family, but only her father's generation was a military officer, and the next few generations were all horse breeders working in Taipu Temple.Taipu Temple is the horse administration institution of this dynasty, which is subordinate to the Ministry of War and is in charge of the horse administration of the whole country.Horses were equivalent to an important strategic resource in ancient times, and the head of Taipusi was all high-ranking officials from the third rank.

Although the Shi family has been operating in Taipusi for many years, they did not occupy a very important position in it. Even in Grandpa Shi Qiang's generation, because they stood in the wrong place in the competition for the position of Taipusi, they were in the same position as the defeated Shaoqing faction. Together, marginalized and snubbed.It is precisely because of this that Shi Qiang's father thought of changing his family and re-establishing a world, so he became an official by force.

When Shi Zhongming fought alone and gained a firm foothold in the ranks of military attaches, his father simply withdrew from his position as the Prime Minister of Taipusi, and lived out his old age at home, dying of old age.Shi Qiang's grandfather loved Shi Qiang very much. Before he retired, he took his granddaughter to the racecourse at the foot of Changyuan Mountain from time to time.Therefore, Shi Qiang has a good skill in riding and shooting.

She is the only daughter in Jia's family, and the whole family is very fond of her. Before she got married, Shi Qiang had a high degree of freedom.The knowledge reserve has thrown away a lot of Beijing and China's dudes by hundreds of streets.It can be called both civil and military.

But the original owner is the real deal. The biggest advantage is that people are good, and the three views are correct.After Shi Qiang married the original owner, he was very dissatisfied for a while, and even looked down on the original owner a bit.The original owner was also obedient, so he simply didn't come up to him to be annoying.It was also during this time that the original owner and Luo Chun formed a bond.

If it is said that the original owner and Luo Chun fell in love at first sight and saw each other again, it was simply a collision of hormones and a heart-to-heart exchange, I don't believe it.Judging from the clues in the memory of the original owner, a large part of this marriage was due to Luo Chun's initiative.

At the beginning, the original owner only acted as a hero once in a while, and planned to be a living Lei Feng who did not expect anything in return.But then every time I go shopping, I can see the same woman in the same place. This woman is good-looking and likes to smile shyly at him.After coming and going, the original owner had long forgotten that the person selling vegetables at this stall was a middle-aged man with a weathered face.That is Luo Chun's father.

So why do I say that Luo Chun has the temperament of a white lotus?She really has.But the amazing thing is that Luo Chun's white lotus temperament is like a small animal's perception of danger, it is a magical instinct.If doing so is beneficial to him, Luo Chun will be able to unconsciously become a bitch.Naturally formed, without flaws.That's scary, and of course it's fun.

The original owner's monogamy and one concubine are not simple, but the original owner is a real fool. He doesn't know anything and still thinks that his wives are kind, pure and beautiful, and he should be protected.Probably because of this, he won the sincerity of the two good girls.

So this stupid boy's death is not worth it, and after I took the top, I consciously took it as my duty to take care of the two little girls.To put it bluntly, Shi Qiang and Luo Chun were widows at a young age, and because they were married to the emperor, there was almost no possibility of remarrying and finding happiness elsewhere.One can imagine how cold this seemingly gorgeous harem is to them.

Counting me, the harem of the two consecutive emperors is very bad, with few people, no stories to happen, and lack of royal secrets for people to talk about after dinner.The late emperor's concubines could be counted on one hand. When the late emperor kicked his legs, all these noble women who were promoted to empress dowagers and concubines moved to the north of Jingcheng Lake, and lived in the Xianju Palace at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain. The Hall of Supreme Harmony was also built nearby.

A few women who are not old lady age, but have already lived the life of an old lady, their daily life is nothing more than eating, eating, sleeping and sleeping, go to sit in your yard today, and go to her garden to see the scenery tomorrow.Oh, since I got poker out, they finally have some more entertainment, playing cards together all day long.I listened to the gossip that Chen Fu had inquired about. These concubines have a lot of money to gamble, and a loss is worth half a month's profit as the emperor.

I also told Shi Qiang and Luo Chun about it for fun.But they couldn't laugh.I asked why.They said that it hurts their hearts to think that this is the life they will live in the future.

Hearing this, I was also heartbroken.Hey, it's just something that hurts its kind.How can I pat my chest and say, no, the two of you will definitely have a more interesting life than the concubines in the future.Unless I can overthrow the existing system, make top-down reforms, liberate women, and promote equal monogamy between men and women.Obviously, the cost of doing this is too high, and it cannot be afforded by a single emperor and the existing social structure.

So an equal and civilized society, in my lifetime, is just my own secret fantasy.After staying in Dayin for a long time, sometimes I feel in a trance that the society with highly developed technological civilization is just a dream of mine.

According to the standard of an emperor, I work and live step by step.But I can always feel the stagnation in my heart in the dead of night or when I am alone.I am like a beast trapped in a deep prison, accidentally knocked and stumbled into a confined space. The vast jungle where I was born and raised is too far away from me. I can no longer wander in it and run freely. To suffocate to perish.

People who have eaten meat will not be satisfied with eating three meals a day as vegetarians, and those who have enjoyed a higher level of spiritual wealth will not be satisfied with the earnest teachings of heaven, earth, monarchs and relatives.Women who have learned the benefits of freeing their feet cannot be restored to footbinding.And I look at the social labor productivity all over the palace, working hard to serve a few people, instead of transforming labor into social wealth, I am very troubled.

I asked Chen Fu to count the number of attendants in the harem for me, and I took it over to have a look, good guy, there are two thousand people!I was startled, so I asked Chen Fu how much could be reduced.Chen Fu looked at me with a look of surprise and said, Your Majesty, there are so few of them, you still have to reduce them!This palace is not enough!Oh, it turns out that two thousand attendants are few.I asked, how many people do we need to have sufficient manpower?Chen Fu calculated silently and gave me a five.

Then he said that 5000 people would be enough, if there were a few more masters in the palace, tens of thousands would be needed.He also gave an example of the time when there were the most court servants in the history of the Great Yin Dynasty, that is, the time when Emperor Wenxuan was the younger brother, when the grandfather of the original owner was the emperor.

Just in time for the calamity year, many ordinary people sold their wives and sons, and the mentality of being an emperor collapsed. They were addicted to pleasure, and the harem was full. There were more than 3000 servants in the palace, including those with official positions. There must be fifty thousand.This number is scary, okay, 5 people do nothing but serve the emperor and concubines, how extravagant and corrupt is this?

Chen Fu also said with regret that his master was the one who came here at that time. Although his master was an order of the Yeting Bureau, he had 1000 people under his command, not to mention how beautiful he was.But after Zhang Yuli became the prime minister, the first thing he did was to scold Emperor Wenxuan to reduce the number of people in the harem and drastically reduce the manpower.

In the period of Emperor Chengye, because there were too few concubines, the palace servants in the palace without concubines were directly laid off.From [-] to [-], it takes only one emperor to take over.What he is doing now is the internal servant and provincial supervisor. From the second rank, he has become a top official, but he still has to compete with the female officer of the sixth bureau.Very aggrieved.

I am happy to hear it.Said that your Ministry of Internal Affairs is serving me, and the responsibility lies in the outer court, and there is no competition with the Sixth Bureau of the Harem, which manages the harem, and there is no business competition, so why feel aggrieved.

Chen Fu didn't say that. He said that there are too few people in the palace now, and it is useful to have two legs.He also took himself as an example, saying that there should be two internal servants and provincial supervisors, but when it comes to him, he is the only one who is busy.He also said that the same is true for other organizations, where there are multiple positions, the staff will be cut in half.Now the whole palace is extremely tense even for the manpower for sanitation and cleaning.The maid who washes my face in the morning will go to Shanggong Bureau to weave in the afternoon.It's completely one person wearing several hats.

In fact, I also thought about streamlining the harem staff.After hearing what Chen Fu said, I suppressed my thoughts.I don't think there is anything wrong with having fewer people in the harem.I have done some calculations, the maids with no rank in the harem receive an average of one tael a month, which is 12 taels a year, and the lowest rank, nine-rank female officials, can get one and a half taels, which is 15 taels a year, like Chen Fu The second-rank official is no less than six taels a month, not to mention the in-kind salary such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck, and fish.

A servant of 60 yuan, based on the minimum standard, will have to spend 60 taels of cash in a year, but in reality it is more than 60 taels?If you have no concept of 3000 taels, then it will be [-] billion if converted into soft sister coins based on the conversion rate that one tael of silver equals the purchasing power of [-] yuan.

My heart is shaking.Zhang Yuli did a great job, I give him a thumbs up.Is it because the army does not spend money or does infrastructure construction?Why should the [-] billion be spent on raising servants who serve people?Who has no arms and legs yet?

Not to mention the unnecessary expenses saved by downsizing personnel in order to please the emperor after layoffs in the palace.The dossier records that in the years when Zhang Yuli first became prime minister, the national tax revenue increased by dozens of percentage points at once, and the investment in national defense construction hit a record high.Da Yin insisted on tightening his belt, won the battle at the border, and won back the occupied land.

After learning all this, I feel more and more that in Dayin, I, the emperor, have a long way to go.I set a small goal first, to bring out the buds of the bourgeoisie.
