I want to be a grandson

Chapter 459
"Kang ku ku ku! ku ku ku ku!..."

At the gate of a county government office, the petty official rang the gong to gather the people.

Pointing to the posted notice, the little official said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to me. This is the content of the imperial court's mansion report. Foot binding is prohibited in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This is a vulgar thing, and its roots began in the Southern Tang Dynasty Empress Li Yu,
This person is arrogant and extravagant, licentious and immoral, dissatisfied with the concubines in the palace, he even makes people's feet bound to satisfy animal nature, and those women, in order to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, to satisfy their lust,

To have no sense of shame, and flattery, is really an act of depravity, and the people of the world should take it as a warning..."

"There are even more ignorant people, superficial people, and filthy people who want to preach footbinding. They are really shameless, have no sense of shame, and are in vain as sons of men!
Therefore, as a commoner, the imperial court did not want the common people to be deceived by this, so it was spread throughout the world. From now on, the Ming law strictly prohibits foot binding. If necessary, you will be punished..."

Some people asked: "My lord, so you can't bind your feet in the future? No one can?"

"That's natural! Didn't you see that this is a notice from the court!"

After finishing speaking, the little official added: "As for Lehu and prostitutes, there are no regulations. After all, they are indecent, and what they do is to entertain people with sex..."

Hearing such a definite answer, the people began to discuss:

"If you want me to say that the imperial court should have this law long ago, who would let their daughter's feet be bound by ordinary people? It's all a mess made by those officials!"

"Hehehe, looking at the behavior of their young ladies, a gust of wind can blow them down! Just like this, they still despise us! So shameless..."

"Some time ago, Mrs. Chen introduced her in-law's family to our daughter. When she saw that the other party was a rich family, she picked her nose and eyes, to see if tnd wanted to marry a prostitute back!"

"These big families are really shameless. Isn't this pushing their daughters into the fire pit? They are still rich, I am! You can be chaste with a little foot? They are full of male robbers and female prostitutes!"

"It's still the emperor's grandson who understands the truth, has the style of a gentleman, and hasn't been bewitched by these people, so what if he doesn't indulge in beauty..."

"The gang who killed thousands of knives have no good intentions..."

At this time in Jishui County of Ji'an Prefecture, Xie Jin's father held a copy of the notice in his hand and hurriedly pushed it away from the study.

"Father, why are you here?" Xie Jin was studying, and seeing his father panicked, he quickly got up and asked.

"It's a disaster, take a look, what can I do!"

Father Xie handed over the notice copied from his hand, Xie Jin took it over and looked at it, and said angrily: "Nonsense! Absurd! Foot binding didn't start with Empress Li at all. There are many records of this incident in ancient books, and there are also many controversies. , but according to my opinion, it should be the Northern Song Dynasty..."

Father Jie said anxiously: "Oh!Now is not the time to be fussy!The imperial court has issued a decree to severely punish this matter. If you take the lead in discussing this matter in Jiangxi, will the imperial court hold you accountable? "

Xie Jin frowned, thought for a while and said, "Father, don't worry, the mouth of the people is better than that of the river. If the river is blocked and collapsed, it will hurt more people, and the people will be the same. How can there be any reason not to let people talk?
Even the sage kings of all dynasties did not prevent the people from discussing and expressing their opinions. Even the emperor couldn't do it, so why should my father worry about it. "

"Ugh……"

Father Xie sighed and said, "That's what I said, but I believe you will never be at peace, son, you can't be so unscrupulous in the future, discussing the court, especially the affairs in the palace..."

"Father, don't worry, my son understands, but the inner courtyard of the palace, the selection of concubines in the palace is also a matter of concern to the world, and my son is only looking at this matter from the perspective of the people of the world... The matter is already like this, so let's stop talking about it."

Xie Jin pouted, although he didn't agree with it, he didn't say anything to refute it after all.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable in his heart, but was very angry!
Although the imperial court issued a decree, he did not approve of it!

Is there any factual basis to list footbinding as a ban, with penalties attached?
Are there speculative arguments?

Have you asked about the meaning of the Shilin clan?
To put it bluntly, Gan Gang is arbitrary, but to put it bluntly, he is an independent husband!It is a closed remonstrance!

Just go my own way!
Glancing at the notice, he knew that the matter had basically been settled, and he had no way to reverse it. Even if he strongly opposed it now, and even wrote a letter of impeachment,

Who dares to make trouble with him?

How many people dare to risk their lives?Xie Jin doesn't know...

Father Xie saw his son's depressed and angry expression, which could not be hidden by anything, and knew that he was not convinced.

So he persuaded and said: "Son, this matter is already like this, but you must not cause trouble anymore, thinking that your father's observation, His Royal Highness, the emperor's grandson, is not easy to get along with, if you can not provoke it, don't provoke it again It's..."

At this moment, a loud noise came from outside the study, and when the two were surprised, the door of the study was kicked open with a bang!

Before the two could react, a team of officers and soldiers rushed in.

"Presumptuous! Where are you officers and soldiers, how dare you break into Jiefu!" Xie Jin scolded.

My home is in Ji'an Mansion, and even the whole of Jiangxi is well-known. Even in the whole of Daming, there are many people who know Xie Hanlin's name!
But seeing this group of officers and soldiers barging in, they didn't pay attention to decency, it's just absurd!
Seeing the prefect of Ji'an walking in, Xie Jin found the person in charge, and before he could speak, he asked coldly: "Prefect Chen, what do you mean? Why did you bring officers and soldiers to my house?!

Although I am idle at home, but my brother is still an official of the court, how can you allow you to be so presumptuous! "

Seeing that he was still tough, Chen Zhifu obviously didn't know what he had done and who he had offended!

Then he said: "Mr. Xie, your cousin killed someone and caused a lawsuit, but you didn't report it. You harbored criminals, and you were still treated as a guest of honor. The government searched hard to no avail. I just got a clue recently, so I had to go to see you." Already!"

Father Xie was taken aback, and quickly argued, "Master Chen, how could my nephew kill someone? Did you make a mistake?

Besides, we are completely ignorant of these things, we don't know what's going on at all, please Master Chen to be aware of the details..."

At this time, the officials came to report, "My lord, the murderer has been arrested."

Chen Zhifu didn't hesitate at all, "Come here! Bring Xie Jin and his son who are harboring criminals to justice, and Xie's family will be sealed up for now!"

This command made Xie Jin's heart sink to the bottom...

Only now did he understand that the fundamental reason for the government's visit today was definitely not because of harboring criminals!
I wouldn't treat my own home so harshly!
The prestige of the Xie family in the shilin and his status in the shilin made the government not rashly bring troops to the door just because of a trivial matter, let alone detain him!
Palace, let's go!

Almost the same scene also appears everywhere.

It's not Jin Yiwei who is in charge, but the magistrates are handling these matters, so that they are justified and not arousing criticism.

In particular, Jiangxi has the most prefectures, because those voices of discussion come from here, and the voices of opposition are the strongest, of course, they bear the brunt of it!

The crimes of each family are varied and not the same, but they are all well-founded, and there is absolutely no wrongdoing of good people!

In Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yunxi was dealing with government affairs.

Baozhao, a doctor in the household department, and Tiexuan, a doctor in the business department, asked to see him. After saluting, they took their seats.

Tie Xuan reported, "Your Highness, I have ordered all the businesses under the Department of Commerce, no matter whether it is a business, an imperial store or an official store, no matter who they are, all ladies in the family must not bind their feet, and those who violate it will be fired."

Bao Zhao also reported and said: "Your Highness, I also ordered that all the common people who planted official land should not have their feet bound, and they also issued a notice to the Department of Cleaning Officials of the Household Department of each chief envoy. And urge his family not to slack off..."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Yes, I see."

The Department of Commerce and Trade now has a very large stall, with all kinds of firms in various industries in Daming, and some of them have become leaders in the industry.

For example, wine and porcelain, the Department of Commerce holds gold and jade liquid, and the following types of wine, and the entire Jingdezhen has been monopolized by Zhu Yunxi, so don't make a loud name, because the time to exert force is relatively early, and the expansion is relatively rapid. Now it is second to none, and there is no rival that can compete.

Some are still in the development stage, and the business of the emperor's grandson, with strong financial support, will definitely not be bad.

Therefore, the Department of Commerce and Trade can now influence many people, not to mention the Ministry of Accounts as the largest department.

Bao Zhao reported again: "His Royal Highness, the beautiful girls selected by the state capitals will go to Beijing in a few days. After primary selection, secondary selection and selection, they will be handed over to the palace."

Although there were a thousand beautiful women who entered Beijing, after three screenings, only less than 200 were able to enter the palace.

After that, they have to go through another strict screening in the palace.

Li Fu said from the side: "Your Highness, the palace has already made preparations for the reception, and all the affairs are in place, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about it."

Because Zhu Yunxi's choice of concubine was involved, Donggong was also involved in this matter.
