Su Maoxiang actually didn't even care about the punishment put forward by Emperor Chongzhen.

Even if the punishments proposed by Emperor Chongzhen were added together, what should be cut or what should be cut or cut. As long as there is a glimmer of hope of entering the palace to become a eunuch, there is no possibility of eliminating it.

However, since Emperor Chongzhen proposed such a high penalty, it must have had some effect during the period when it was strictly enforced.

As for the future, let’s talk about what’s going on later.

In fact, programmers like Emperor Chongzhen hate eunuchs very much.

Although Zhongguancun in later generations has become a gathering place for kicked people, the great profession of eunuchs in New China has no longer existed.

but!

In the famous time traveler training base, a certain Chinese website, generations of eunuchs are emerging one after another.

The most hateful thing is the five eunuchs called the Five Green, Five White, Five Yellow, Five Eunuchs.

In addition, there are a lot of eunuchs of all sizes, and they are always digging holes and not filling them. There are even some guys with big dicks who cut them when they are on the shelves!

It can be said that some point is simply Zhongguancun in the new century, making people feel itchy.

But in the Ming Dynasty, people like eunuchs are indispensable.

After all, no matter how bad the eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty were, no matter how arrogant and domineering they were, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are loyal to the emperor.

Among these eunuchs, the more famous ones are Zheng He, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, Wang Zhi, and Wei Zhongxian. All of them are like this.

Zheng He, who is better, has been famous throughout the ages, and those who are worse, such as Liu Jin, Wang Zhi, Wei Zhongxian, are killed by one piece of paper.

Compared with the ten eunuchs created by the Liu family and the old Li family who often deposed the emperor, the eunuchs of the Zhu family are simply as obedient as cats.

But no matter how awesome a cat is, he has to kneel down when he meets a husky-like civil servant.

What does it mean? My brother, I, have a lot of timid talks, have never won a fight, and have never lost a quarrel.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, eunuchs may be rampant like cats, relying on their master's favor, but only the two Hakkas can live for generations.

Anyway, the eunuch's affairs can only be done like this first. As for improving the eunuch's treatment, Emperor Chongzhen said that he would not consider this matter at the moment.

The Queen can only take care of the release of a group of palace maids outside the palace, and there is no need to take it to the court for discussion.

As for the officials who are allocated to the soldiers of the garrison, I will discuss this with the British Duke and others later.

But in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, since the ministers in the court had already received their own salary, they should work hard, otherwise they would be lazy.

Emperor Chongzhen, who could not bear to be lazy at his own employees, simply asked: "I asked the Ministry of Revenue and the Imperial Hospital and the Jinyiwei to work together to check the marriage and childbirth of women in the capital and surrounding areas. Can there be any results now?"

When the Minister of Revenue Guo Yunhou heard the question from Emperor Chongzhen, he went out to listen to the comments: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to check the capital city and the two counties under the jurisdiction of Daxing and Wanping, surrounding Changping and Liangxiang, etc.."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Guo Yunhou had finished investigating the matter, he asked with great interest: "What's the result?"

Guo Yunhou bowed and said, "I will tell you that the situation is worse than I imagined.

In the seventh year of Tianqi, more than 2,300 married women in the capital and surrounding counties, and more than 1,700 children were born in the first year of Chongzhen.

More than 1,200 of them got married at the age of fourteen, more than 200 got married at the age of sixteen, more than 200 got married at the age of seventeen, most of the rest were thirteen, and very few were eighteen.”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "That means that most of them have children at the age of fifteen?"

Guo Yunhou didn't even dare to straighten his body, but then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, that's true. Among them, more than a hundred people died of difficult labor, most of whom were married at the age of thirteen. More than a thousand people had insufficient milk, and more than a thousand people fell ill after giving birth.

Later, I went to consult with the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Hospital, and found that the situation was indeed as Your Majesty said. Anyone who is under 18 years old has a bone that is not fixed, his qi and blood are not full, and he has children, which is really a great risk."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Every time nine people get married, a woman under 18 years old dies of dysfunction due to childbirth. That is to say, few people get married only at the age of 18, but they die of dysfunction due to childbirth?"

Guo Yunhou bowed and replied, "Yes."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I intend to change the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Any woman who is under the age of eighteen cannot get married. What do you think?"

Wen Tiren had known what Emperor Chongzhen wanted to say for a long time, so he immediately went out and said, "Your Majesty is wise, I will discuss it."

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen thought that this was the case, after all, this is a good thing, right?

But Erha is Erha after all, and no one can think of what they are thinking. However, Erha's IQ sometimes will be unsealed, such as when the weather is colder.

For example, the Censor Zheng Huanwen did not think this was a good thing. After leaving the shift, he bowed and said, "I will report to Your Majesty, I will object."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was waiting for him to continue talking, Zheng Huanwen continued, "Your Majesty, the Daming Rule was decided by Emperor Taizu Gao, and should not be moved lightly. This is one of them.

The people have always believed that women can get married after the arrival of the Thirteenth Day. If Your Majesty forcibly stipulates that those who are under the age of eighteen will not get married, this is a policy that disturbs the people.

Third, folk women have a last resort to marriage earlier.”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was still speechless, Zheng Huanwen continued, "If the people have four or five children in their families, it would be difficult for them to raise them."

If you marry your daughter early, you can reduce the burden. Therefore, it is a last resort to marrying your daughter early."

In the first two points, Emperor Chongzhen only thought that the censor had his head twitched again, wanting to get a name for himself or her.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was ready to kill, was not careful that this guy actually gave the third reason, and he could not refute it.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, it is very common for a family to have several children, especially those families who cannot give birth to sons, who have devoted themselves to their full strength.

If it was said that the founding of the country in later generations was the great idea of ​​Taizu's great power, especially to beware of the fact that there was enough population to restore national strength after the world nuclear settlement, then the idea of ​​having a lot of people was correct.

But after the world has not had nuclear revision and is relatively peaceful, some people still want to live more.

Especially those who cannot give birth to sons, they are even more dedicated to giving birth. If one is not a son, then another one will be born.

The more you give birth, the more pressure you bring to raise your children, and the more you say that the more you get, the poorer you get.

This was the case in later generations, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty was at this time, especially Emperor Chongzhen, who issued an order, and many of them were rewarded, and the government also gave some support.

If there is such a good thing, and there is no entertainment at night, then can you still be a villain?

However, the law of becoming poorer and poorer as you live, not only exists in later generations, but also in the Ming Dynasty.

After the youngest child was born, he saw that it was broken and could not afford to support it. The government gave him no more money.

When I was having a headache, I found that my older son could already work in the fields and my daughter could get married. Isn’t this solution?

The older son went to work in the fields. As for the daughter, after getting married, she became a family member of her husband's family. She would no longer eat her own food, and could also exchange a bride gift to relieve the pressure.

It was precisely based on this idea that the big guy chose to marry his daughter out earlier.

Emperor Chongzhen felt that this could not be done in this way.

It’s okay to get married early, and they are all legal luoli. If they were placed in later generations, those single dogs who couldn’t find their wives would stick out their tongues happily.

However, in ancient society where medical conditions were underdeveloped, having children was like walking to the gate of hell, a girl who married early was a loss for Emperor Chongzhen.

If they get married after the age of 18, the chance of having a child difficult to give birth will be much smaller, which can be seen from the data statistics of Guo Yunhou.

The probability of dysfunction is small, and the population will increase faster.

After the population increased, Emperor Chongzhen could collect more taxes, and more male men would go to fight for Emperor Chongzhen.

With more people fighting, in this era of more people and more power, it means more territory and more taxes.

This is simply a virtuous cycle, until the whole world is occupied and no land can keep up with the Ming Dynasty's population growth rate, and then it will collapse.

But does Emperor Chongzhen need to consider this kind of collapse now?

Needless to say, the Jiannu from Liaodong, the Tartars on the grassland in the north, the monkeys in the south, and the third brother in the west, and the empty territory after these trashmen were cleared, which was enough for the Ming Dynasty to not consider these issues before Emperor Chongzhen passed away.

As for the first two points raised by Zheng Huanwen, even Wang Anshi, who was sent by Zhao, shouted "The changes of heaven are not worth fearing, the ancestors are not worth law, and people are not worth care about", and the time traveler programmer emperor would not care about things like the changes of heaven are not worth care about people's words.

What's more, this ancestor is Zhu Youjian's ancestor, and may not be his ancestor Zhu Xiaosong.

The only issue that Ming Dynasty needs to consider now is the third point proposed by the Censor Zheng Huanwen. The people were under pressure because they had too much birth and could not afford to raise their daughter, so they married their daughter early.

Emperor Chongzhen still planned to compulsoryly formulate a law that would not marry under the age of eighteen, but it could not be so simple and crude. There must be a solution.

Although some people in later generations say that they are still simple and crude to stimulate when reading countless movies, but this is not how politics happens.

The one who kills people is not afraid of it. However, for the people, it is better to be cautious in this kind of thing, and they can really change the dynasty. These people are the people.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were turned to him again, Wen Tiren clearly felt the pressure was high.

Just now, I jumped out and agreed with Emperor Chongzhen first, but in the blink of an eye, I was slapped in the face by a censor.

And it seems that Emperor Chongzhen also thought that the censor was good at fighting and was beautiful, so he threw the pot to himself and asked him to come up with a solution?

Wen Tiren pondered for a while and bowed and said, "I call you to your Majesty, I think this matter should be rewarded and punished at the same time.

If a woman gets married at the age of 18, she can give a certain reward, but if she is under the age of 18, she needs to give a certain punishment.

In addition, public opinion still needs guidance to make it realize the harm of a woman getting married under the age of 18.”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded.

Wen Tiren proposed a solution.

But punishment is easy to deal with, how to reward? Is it useless to reward a false reputation? The reward is real. But who paid for this money?

Is it the treasury or the treasury? The treasury money belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the treasury money belongs to your own.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Since that's the case, all those who get married at the age of 18 will be given a certain reward by local governments. The specific reward will be discussed with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue before reporting it to me.

As for punishment, any woman who gets married under the age of 18 will have two taxes.

In addition, local governments also need to provide guidance to let the people know the harm of premature marriage and childbirth. In any case, parents are all the same, and they will definitely feel sorry for their daughters."

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen added another sentence: "Wang Cheng'en, I have drafted an edict. Anyone with a royal family who is under the age of eighteen shall not marry. Those who violate the violation shall take away the title of his woman and be fined 10,000 yuan.
