Chapter 400: The Weakness of Scholars and the Way to Increase the Number of Han Chinese

Wei Guangwei's face turned dark and immediately stretched out his hand to point at Bi Ziyan, but then he gritted his teeth and put it down. He had to bow to the other cabinet ministers and said, "I feel a little uncomfortable, so I will take my leave first!"

Wei Guangwei suddenly felt that Bi Ziyan was very abominable. He spoke very neatly and spoke incisively, so he forced himself to admit that he did not want to reform the commercial tax.

Wei Guangwei decided to try not to talk to Bi Ziyan in the future. If he could, he would avoid it. He thought to himself: "When Fang Congzhe was in charge of the cabinet, he didn't find that his surname Bi was so hateful!"

As he said that, Wei Guangwei really left here.

Bi Ziyan said next: "But how can the world's long mouth be blocked? It's better to guard against the people than to guard against rivers! Chongwen Temple and Dongchang, those who only criticize the king and father, but no matter who criticize the ministers, they will not prohibit the world from criticizing the ministers. This will really block the world's way of talking about the world and are not conducive to the long-term stability of the country."

Xu Guangqi didn't say anything, but just glanced at Han Du.

"I think I'm redundant?"

Han Yu immediately understood and was very embarrassed for a moment.

But Han Yu thought that although he was still a secondary assistant, he did not have as many opportunities as Xu Guangqi to get along with His Majesty. If Xu Guangqi made a few slander in His Majesty because he did not cooperate, he might not be able to take the blame, and he did not need to participate in the reform of these three people. He would offend the world and even have a bad reputation or even a bad ending. He would not be able to get up, so he stood up and said, "I suddenly felt a headache, I'll take it first. Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Guangqi was the first to bow to Han Du and say goodbye: "Han Gong walks slowly!"

Han Dong forced a smile, feeling very uncomfortable.

At this time, Wei Guangwei turned around and saw Han Du.

For a moment, Wei Guangwei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He didn't expect that Han Dong would also leave the cabinet after him.

When Han Yu saw Wei Guangwei in front of him, he also sighed in all kinds of emotions.

Both of them couldn't help but realize that since Fang Congzhe was gone, they had no qualifications to participate in the cabinet votes to make a resolution, and the real power seemed to fall only in the hands of Yuan, Xu and Bi.

Neither of them expected that Fang Congzhe's actions at the end of his life would cause both of them to lose power.

On this side, only Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan were left with the cabinets of the three of Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan, and suddenly, a lot of sunlight shines in due to the sudden dispersion of clouds, and therefore much brighter.

The three of them suddenly became bright and transparent because of this dark cabinet. In addition, Han Dong and Wei Guangwei left, so they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Xu Guangqi said at this time: "It is not impossible to discuss things in the world. Whether it is civil and military officials or scholars, if they really want to incite the people in the world to resist the commercial tax and discuss state affairs, they will definitely be in brothels!

This is because these places are indeed places that high-ranking officials and prominent officials love to go, especially scholars!

Therefore, we should apply to the emperor to issue an edict to prohibit the opening of brothels and even prostitution in Middle-earth, as the reason why prostitution is prevalent and prevent Han women from being traded at will or even forced to sell silver due to the prevalence of prostitution!”

"If they do this, they will mostly just criticize and scold friends at home or write them in their personal notes, which is naturally difficult to become a climate. Of course, by prohibiting organization and participation in brothels, it is not just this benefit;

More benefits are to shift the public opinion of the world to whether the court should allow women to sell their chastity, and whether scholars and scholars should prostitution and ruin the trend. The officials have served as local officials. I believe that if there is a sensational big news in a certain place, in addition to the personal pain, people outside will always pay attention to the matter. When there is a new big news, people outside will forget or ignore the news that has not been completely resolved before. For this world, what we should care about is whether most scholars and people outside will keep grasping this matter and oppose the court! To avoid causing greater trouble! As long as most scholars and people are not involved, they will naturally be easy to deal with. If they only solve a few of the problems, they will be honest."

Xu Guangqi continued.

Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan have both been local officials, so they naturally understand that when a hot topic of public opinion occurs in one place, as long as another hot topic appears, they will indeed forget the truth of the previous hot topic.

So, Yuan Keli heard this and said, "What should I do! The scholars in the world are romantic and do not cultivate their civil and military affairs, so it is time to take care of them. By the way, more Han women can marry and have children steadily, instead of using sex to make profits. In order to regard this as a shortcut to wealth, corrupt the customs of the world and not be conducive to the long-term stability of the country!"

So, next, Yuan Keli submitted a memorial to ban the opening of brothels and prostitution in Zhongtu.

"Asking what he said, he immediately voted to approve the prize. The Ministry of Rites Jiaofangsi will be changed to the Lishui Music Department and the Wedding Department. The Lishui Music Department is responsible for managing and training people who are good at musical instruments, singing and dancing, and even creating poetry and music, serving major ceremonies. The Wedding Department is responsible for the registration of marriages among the scholars and people in the world, and organizes the marriage of women who do not know how to play musical instruments, singing and dancing and not having the talent to learn. In addition, it is to accept registration for all unmarried women from Han families who have no parents and relatives. The department organizes blind dates to increase the household registration of husband and wife in the world, and make it easier for Han people in the world to increase!

Nowadays, there is a great demand for immigrating Han people to enrich the newly opened territory in various places. We need to find more ways to increase the number of Han people!

The number of people is very important to the strength of the country! The Five Barbarians invaded China back then was because of the lack of Han people in the north and there were too many Hu people!

In addition, the Censorate, the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial College and the Provincial Commission for Education strictly control the social atmosphere, and used this imperial edict to all government offices and schools to inform bureaucrats and scholars that they should learn civil and military skills wholeheartedly, rather than nostalgic for fireworks and willows, which will not only ruin oneself and also ruin one's family style!"

Xu Guangqi is now the only cabinet minister who was asked by Zhu Youxiao to enter and exit Damingyuan every day.

Therefore, Yuan Keli's memorial was brought in by Xu Guangqi.

Zhu Youxiao also wrote a letter to Xu Guangqi to submit a letter and asked Wei Zhongxian to criticize the news. Moreover, he himself said a few more words to Xu Guangqi.

The prohibition of anyone to organize and participate in prostitution in the two capitals and 13 provinces was on the surface proposed by Xu Guangqi, and adopted and reported by Yuan Keli. In fact, Zhu Youxiao instructed Xu Guangqi to do this when he was discussing knowledge in order to increase the number of Han people and to correct the social atmosphere and curb the phenomenon of too many Han women being abducted and trafficked.

Now that Zhu Youxiao continued to instruct, Xu Guangqi naturally followed the order according to Zhu Youxiao's wishes.

Soon, the formal imperial edict was formed by prohibiting the organization and participation in prostitution in the two capitals and 13 provinces, and the imperial edict was soon announced to various government offices and schools.

...

"It is well known to everyone that the treacherous minister Yuan Keli slaughtered the royal family and abused power and chaotic government! How can we allow this treacherous minister to harm the court? Tong suggested that everyone go to Yuxiang Pavilion tonight to discuss the condemnation of this treacherous man. I wonder what you think?"

At this time, Tong Kuixing, a student of the Imperial College, was inviting a group of students to go to a brothel called Yuxiang Pavilion to discuss the matter of Yuan Keli slaughtering the royal family and abusing power and chasing politics.

All the students in charge wanted to use this reason to go to Yuxiang Pavilion together to show the women in Yuxiang Pavilion that they criticized the current problems and were upright and promising scholars, so they responded.

"Very good! Fei had long wanted to drink and scold him for being a traitor. Now he has caused serious losses to our business gentry. I wish I could swallow him alive!"

"The same is true for Qian! When I scold Yuan Keli for being a traitor for this powerful traitor!"

...

But at this time, the officials and students of the Imperial College came to the Imperial College, and after all the officials and students of the Imperial College gathered together, they read out the imperial edict prohibiting the brothels from going to brothels and organizing and participating in prostitution in the two capitals and 13 provinces.

"It is prohibited to go to brothels and kilns, and to organize and participate in prostitution? Why did the court suddenly implement this decree? Is this going to force us to be monks by ourselves? Or do we just want to break our roots and go to the palace to be eunuchs?!"

After learning about this imperial edict, the civil servants and students of the Imperial College became angry and threw the matter behind their heads to denounce Yuan Keli and discussed the matter excitedly.

These romantic scholars regard going to brothels as a necessity in daily life, so they naturally attach great importance to it.
