Chapter 107 Clearance + Red Mansion dares to ask the sun and moon to change the sky 107
The old man smiled and said, Jia Lian and others saw that although he was poor, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not as timid as the people in the capital.
It's not because of how good his eyesight is, but because the pig tails on the back of their heads are too obvious.
I didn't think anything of it before, but now it looks really ugly.
He remembered that before he came a few days ago, Sister Qiao was making a fuss about wanting to eat honey milk, and grandma was about to send someone to buy it.
He came in. Honey and milk are good things.
Although the price is not affordable for the common people, and although Rongguo Mansion is now in decline, the direct granddaughter can still afford what she wants to eat.
He knew that the south was wealthy, but he did not expect that the common people of the Great Qin Empire in the south would be eating the honeyed milk that the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion was eating.
"His Majesty the Emperor is not wise. Since the Emperor came, our life has become much better. During the holidays, with the tax receipts from that year, we can buy a box of low-priced honey for our children to sweeten their mouths. How dared the old man before? I want to live like this." The old man sighed.
"If it weren't for Your Majesty the Emperor, how could we have lived like this? Your Majesty the Queen buried those landowners alive and gave us the land. She also increased the grain output from two to three hundred kilograms per mu to six to seven hundred kilograms. Jin. Reduce the tax burden to [-]%. You must know that in the past, the landowners who collected [-]% tax were all kind-hearted. Some even collected [-]% tax."
"Niuniu will study hard in the future so that she can fight for your majesty in other countries." The old man said to his granddaughter.
"If the old man didn't have such a granddaughter of his age now, he would send all the children to school."
The school was established by Ying Qingyan and others. As long as they are over six years old, both men and women must go to school.
This is not a discussion, but a notice.
But children from ordinary families finally get the opportunity to study, so how can they refuse it?
There are also stubborn ones who don’t want girls to study and do more work at home.
Ying Qingyan knew it and didn't say anything, so he posted the notice.
The notice stated that if the school-age girl in the family did not go to school, the fields belonging to the girl would be taken back.If the report is successful, the land can be awarded to the person who reported it.
Back then, Ying Qingyan was ready to go on an expedition before he could deal with the foot-binding matter, and now he plans to deal with it directly.
Where there are open-minded people, there are naturally stubborn people.
Some people believe that women's foot binding is an ancestral tradition and has always been the case.
Never discard it.
These people are all old antiques that have been accumulated for many years.
Ying Qingyan directly ordered: "If a woman in the family has her feet bound, her descendants will not be allowed to take the imperial examination or join the army. If an unmarried woman has her feet bound, her father and brother in the family will not be allowed to take the imperial examination. If a married woman has her feet bound, the men of her husband's family and her father's family will not be allowed to take the imperial examination."
It's nothing more than taking the fire out of the cauldron!
As soon as this order came out, everyone in the world was shocked. This was the root cause of the family having girls with bound feet.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were also shocked by Ying Qingyan's iron fist.
You know, when the Manchus first entered the customs, they also banned foot binding, but it ended in failure.
Because at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a decree to shave hair and change clothes, so it aroused strong resistance.
Later, because of this incident, there was the tragedy of Jiangyin on August 81st.
But these weaklings in Jiangnan came up with a ridiculous saying that men should be demoted and women should not be demoted.
Unable to resist the Manchus, he could only resist by binding women's feet.
It's so elegant that people look down upon it.
Ying Qingyan didn't have the temperament or the time to spend time with them on such nonsense, and her methods were inherited from her ancestors. She said directly, "I remember that foot binding started after the Jingkang Disgrace."
Listening to His Majesty the Emperor telling this matter in a calm tone, the ministers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
His Majesty the Emperor usually does not speak. When he does speak, someone designated will be in trouble.
"Your Majesty, foot binding began in the Southern Tang Dynasty. In order to please Empress Li, the concubines bound their feet with strips of cloth while dancing. It became popular in the Song Dynasty. When the Jingkang Disgrace and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, foot binding reached its peak. The Ming Dynasty was even more shameful, and by the Qing Dynasty, it had reached its peak." Nian Yuyao, the daughter of Nian Xialing, the former governor of Huguang, said angrily.
"The country is not well managed, but having fun is the best." Ying Qingyan said lightly.
She was extremely disdainful of footbinding and was extremely angry.Now that someone wanted to abolish foot binding, she naturally wanted to support him.
Nian Yuyao's words shocked Nian Xialing. Although Ying Qingyan treated his ministers very well, the emperor's majesty was really overwhelming.
This was not experienced by Emperor Kangxi.
Not angry.
Nian Xialing was not afraid of his daughter being beaten to death because the emperor was a reasonable man.
His daughter's words were not correct, but he was afraid that her daughter would give His Majesty the Emperor a reckless impression, which would affect his daughter's future future.
Nian Yuyao also knew that she might have been a little reckless, but she had no regrets.
This was the best opportunity to abolish foot binding, and she would call herself a coward if she missed it.
Ying Qingyan nodded, "Since they abide by this old rule, it's a family matter, so I can't say anything, but the imperial examination has not existed since ancient times. I will follow their opinions, and the imperial examination will not be oriented to them. Even though I am the emperor, I will not force the people to do things they don’t like.”
"Since there are unspeakable secrets, I can't let this family bear the reputation of resisting the imperial decree. Let these families who insist on foot binding be recorded on stone tablets. Don't let others misunderstand that they resist the imperial decree."
After these words, it sounded like the emperor was giving in, but the meaning was not that.
If I don't say something, I'm afraid that my children's and grandchildren's career will be nailed to the pillar of shame for my family.
"What is your name?"
"My daughter Nian Yuyao, my daughter Nian Xia, comes to pay homage to Your Majesty."
Ying Qingyan nodded, "She is Nian Aiqing's daughter. Xiaonian Aiqing should be responsible for the foot binding. Prime Minister, allocate 500 people to hand over to Xiaonian Aiqing."
"The minister obeys the order."
Nian Yuyao was very surprised that Ying Qingyan entrusted her with the matter, "I will not disappoint His Majesty!"
Nian Yuyao was in a daze all the way, His Majesty used her!Let her be responsible for abolishing foot binding. This is a sign of trust in her!
The system always feels like something is wrong with the host, but it can't tell.
It always feels that the host is working in vain.
Nian Xialing on the side said, "Your Majesty, my daughter is only a teenager. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble?"
"What's wrong, isn't it me?" Ying Qingyan replied to the memorial, "Can you still poke a hole in the sky? Moreover, I see that Xiaonian Aiqing really wants to do this well."
"Nian Aiqing, you must believe in Xiao Nian Aiqing's ability and determination."
"Your Majesty, Nian Xialing, and the Nian family, will sacrifice themselves to death for Your Majesty!" Nian Xialing knelt down and said.
Thousands of words gathered into this sentence.
He could hear his daughter's resentment about the foot binding, but he did not expect that His Majesty would directly use his own daughter.
