I want to be a grandson

Chapter 266 Legislation
Zhu Yunxi stared deeply at the crowd and said, "Besides, don't they want a son? All the boys born in the homes of drowning infants will be taken back to the nursery hall, and then handed over to other families to be raised. They are not allowed to see each other in this life!"

"Whoever dares to kill a baby girl, the lonely king will let him cut off his children and grandchildren!
Zhu Yunxie understood that patriarchal thinking has been going on for thousands of years, and it is difficult to change it for a while.

No matter how powerful the propaganda is, no matter how good the daughter is said, the common people will not be able to treat everyone equally.

Even in later generations, when technology is so advanced and material life is so rich, there is still a rule that it is not allowed to check whether the fetus is male or female. What is the purpose?
Not to mention in ancient times!
People's ideas are hard to change!

That being the case, you must use the heavy code!

Otherwise, people will not have a long memory!

Cruel but useful!
Just like in Xiaopin Chaosheng guerrillas, there are always people who would rather not have a house or a home in order to have children, and would rather wander around.

In ancient times, in order to have a son, some people would rather have their homes ransacked and exiled than be charged with crimes.

Even if he died, he still had to give birth to a son to continue the incense!Will also drown a baby girl for her son!
So we must cut off their thoughts!
Of course, such people are also in the minority after all.

"Also, for those who drown infants, their sons can't take scientific exams, and they can't be officials! In addition, every prefecture and county should count the number of infant drowning as one of the evaluation criteria for the official department. If infant drowning occurs frequently All incidents will be dismissed and investigated, and if the worst is serious, the family will be ransacked and punished!"

Which parent doesn't want their son to become a dragon and honor their ancestors?
But if you dare to drown your baby, then I will block your way to success!

Just like later generations, although planning to have children is not recognized by many people, especially the regulation that public officials can only have one child, otherwise your qualifications will be disqualified!
As a result, ordinary people dared to have more children, but in order to keep their jobs, they did not dare to have another child regardless of whether the first child was male or female.

Therefore, interests are always what people care about most!
And Zhu Yunxi also knows that it works!
No matter how good the system is, it can become dispensable in the hands of law enforcement officers, who are lax and slack and do not implement it.

Then it won't do anything!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that imperial power does not go to the countryside.

The reason is that the decree cannot be communicated effectively because of the inconvenient transportation.

Moreover, the people have a serious sense of clan, and many things will only be resolved within the clan, and they will only sue the officials unless there is a major incident.

At this time, once the county magistrate turns a blind eye and closes one eye, then infant drowning will continue to happen, and it cannot be effectively solved at all!

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi must strictly demand these officials!
You can't just rely on beautiful articles to be an official!
If you can't implement the imperial government's decrees, and you can't follow the law, then...

What's the use of keeping it!

As long as the curses on the heads of officials are related to whether their black hats will be removed, or they will be stained red with blood, or they will be promoted.

So they will definitely implement it seriously and dare not slack off.

So not only must the people be restrained, but officials must also be restrained!

Before everyone could react from their astonishment, Zhu Yunxi ordered again: "Tie Xuan!"

Tie Xuan shook his head, saluted quickly and said, "Your Majesty is here! Please give orders, Your Highness!"

"From now on, no matter whether it is the official store or the private property of the lonely king, all relevant people, all officials, regardless of size, if anyone in the family dares to drown a baby, they will all be cleared out and will never be hired!"

In fact, everyone knows the consequences of drowning a baby girl. In history, if you compare the population in Hongwu 12 years and Wanli [-] years, you will find that,
In the seventh year of Wanli, the population in the north increased by more than 100 million, while the population in the south decreased by more than 960 million.

The biggest reason for the negative population growth in the south is that female infanticide is very serious!

And the women who can grow up to adulthood are occupied by some officials and wealthy households and merchants, and become their private belongings.

This leads to fewer women who can marry ordinary people, and the population is naturally difficult to grow.

In some years of the Ming Dynasty, the ratio of men to women was as high as three to one, and the rich had many concubines and maidservants, while ordinary people could hardly find wives in their lifetime, and this phenomenon was very common.

And this also gave birth to "Qi Brothers".

Especially in Fujian and Guangdong, the custom of "Brothers of Brotherhood" has formed. Most of the brothers are from poor families, and they send their beautiful sons to another family for a so-called "betrothal gift".

And as the brother of the brother, generally have to bear the food and clothing expenses of the brother and part of the cost of getting married in the future.

Therefore, there is a record that said that among the Qi brothers, "the younger brother's livelihood and all the expenses for marrying a wife will be taken from the Qi brother."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the crowd again and said: "Furthermore, father, son, mother and daughter are close relatives! If you disregard family affection and destroy benevolence and morality because you can't afford the dowry, you are really stupid! It is the responsibility of the government to change customs, and it is the responsibility of the common people!"

"How can we allow the evil custom of child drowning! The government will also tell the people that folk weddings and funerals should be done according to their ability, and extravagance and waste must not be pursued in the pursuit of luxury..."

"In addition, rich households and wealthy businessmen should be encouraged to donate property, adopt babies, and set up nursery halls. The government should also broadcast food according to financial resources..."

Zhu Yunxie said angrily: "In the future, if someone still drowns a baby girl, allow the neighbors and neighbors to report and report! As long as the situation is true, the government will give a heavy reward!"

"If the lonely king doesn't believe in such a severe punishment, he won't be able to stop the evil habit of drowning babies!"

Zhou Zhiqing said worriedly: "Your Highness, it is a big event to change and revise the Law of the Ming Dynasty. If there is no permission from His Majesty..."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I will tell Grandpa Huang, you just do what I tell you!"

"The lonely king doesn't understand the law of the Ming Dynasty, nor how to formulate laws, so he has to trouble Yang Butang and Zhou Qing. It is related to the population issue. Yu Xinfu Youwen, the servant of the household department, will assist him!"

Several people took orders together and said: "Yes! My minister obeys!"

In fact, everyone has a different opinion in their hearts.

Some people think it should be like this, some people think that this kind of criminal law is too strict, and some people are worried about whether it can be implemented...

But no matter what, since His Royal Highness has given the order, they must obey it.

As for whether it can be realized, it depends on His Majesty's will.

"Hey, what kind of wind brought our grandson here, he is really a rare visitor, please sit down..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was revising the memorial in Jinshen Hall, and when he saw Zhu Yunteng coming, he immediately joked.

You must know that several ministers of the imperial court were busy all night in the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment last night.

On the one hand, you have to look through the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and compare and deal with each other. There can be no contradictions.

In addition, other penalties should be used as a reference.

What's more, we have to discuss how the punishment can be applied, how to avoid conflicts, and facilitate implementation.

What's more, there are rewards and punishments for officials, how to balance the level and other assessment standards, after all, we can't just focus on cracking down on childcare, but forget about people's livelihood.

Therefore, it is not so easy to formulate a law. It requires multiple considerations and comparisons, multiple deliberations, and listening to various opinions.

So it was not until the next morning that the punishment method for drowning the infant was written.

Of course Zhu Yunxi won't stay with them all the time, only the wage earners work overtime, how can the boss keep an eye on them?
However, in order to show that he valued this matter, Zhu Yunxi did not return to the palace. Instead, after ordering them to do things, he came to the back hall of the Ministry of Punishment to rest.

Even so, they dare not slack off!
So the next day Zhu Yunxi took the memorial, and immediately went back to the palace, and went to the Jinshen Hall to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's ridicule, Zhu Yun said with a smile: "Didn't my grandson come to pay my respects every day these days? My grandson is fine, I'm just afraid that Grandpa Huang will be impatient."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and said arrogantly: "How dare we, our good grandson Shenlong can't see the end, but we are eager to see people, but we just can't see them!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly saluted and said: "Grandson pays respects to Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang is safe!"

"Well, listening to this, I really feel like I haven't seen it for a long time..."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I heard that you didn't go back to the palace last night. Did you visit the Qinhuai River earlier?"

Zhu Yunxi understood that there must be someone by his side reporting to Zhu Yuanzhang.

If someone else puts eyeliner around him, then he must remove the eyeliner himself!

But if it was Zhu Yuanzhang, then this matter could not be more normal!

Because he is now the grandson of the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to pass on the throne to himself.

He will not be wary of the prince like other emperors, just like guarding against thieves.

He understands his situation more out of concern and love, fearing that something will happen to him, not for surveillance.

Zhu Yunxi knew this well, but he didn't say it clearly, otherwise it would appear that Zhu Yuanzhang had ulterior motives and he was a little too cautious.

So Zhu Yunxi didn't have the slightest fear, and said: "Returning to Grandpa, my grandson has been holding back in the palace these days. Don't you often say that you want to have fun with the people? My grandson is also going to experience the people's feelings. It is your teaching, my lord..."

"Grumpy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded: "Fortunately, you just went to swim in the river. If you went to the singer's painting boat, let's see if we don't hit your leg!"

Zhu Yunxi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no! Grandpa, you are worrying too much! How could my grandson set foot in such a place of fireworks! My grandson just swims in the river, absolutely nothing!"

Since you want to be an emperor, you must pay attention to your reputation!

Later generations said that Emperor Zhengde was not in good shape, and someone even made up a story about visiting the south of the Yangtze River and sparking love with the village girl Li Fengjie.

It's going to be rumored that the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty is going in and out...

hiss……

this reputation...

So it’s no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was nervous. You must know that the last emperor who visited a brothel was Song Huizong who liked thin gold bodies and was obsessed with Li Shishi!

It finally led to the Jingkang Change, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and the fate of being captured in shame!
So how could Zhu Yuanzhang allow him to go to that kind of place!

After the warning was over, Zhu Yuanzhang resumed his playful smile and said, "We also know what swimming in the river is, but what we don't know is how to swim and swim to the building boat in Duke Wei's mansion?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Zhu Yunxi knew that he must have misunderstood!
So he quickly explained: "Grandpa, it's all because my grandson insisted on taking the boat. I accidentally bumped into Wei Guogong's building boat, and then I met..., my grandson was burned, and then I went to the building boat." Put some plaster on, and the poncho boats are never safe."

Zhu Yuanzhang reached out his hand to stop his words, and said with a smile: "No need to explain, we all understand..."
