Chapter 309: Going to His Cold Kiln for Eighteen Years 17

There is only one thing, that is, you can arrange more guards, but you must not have too many eunuchs, let alone find people from outside and make them eunuchs.

Jian Jian doesn't want to cause so many killings just for her own idea, and Jian Jian also wants to abolish the cruel system of eunuchs when the time is right.

After the Emperor and the Queen Mother knew about Jian Yi's ideas and persistence, they had no choice but to follow Jian Yi's advice and began to select a large number of guards.

Jian Jian thought of the maids in the harem through the eunuch.

Those in the Tang Dynasty generally entered the palace when they were around ten years old. It was not until they were thirty years old that they were arranged to leave the palace under the auspices of the queen.

Those palace ladies entered the palace at a young age. After entering the palace, in order to prevent the palace ladies from becoming informants and spies for others and leaking the news in the palace, they had to live in the Forbidden City and the Inner City from the moment they entered the palace.

.

Therefore, this leads to the fact that they and their families have not developed any feelings at all, or they may have feelings when they were young, but after more than 20 years, the feelings have faded away.

Moreover, more than twenty years later, the rooms and positions that originally belonged to them at home will definitely be occupied by their nephews, nieces, sisters-in-law, and siblings. Even if they return home, they will no longer have a home.

Unless the parents and brothers of that family love the sisters very much, and the sisters-in-law and siblings are all easy to get along with, only then can the palace ladies have a good life after leaving the palace.

But in this ancient world where boys were valued over girls, the palace maids were the ones who were abandoned to serve in the palace. Just think about it and you will know what their status is in the family.

Therefore, it is rare for those palace maids to live happily and die well after leaving the palace, even if they are given a dowry by their families and are married off.

After all, in ancient times, how good of a family could a woman in her thirties marry into?

Unless they are popular people with the concubine, they can rely on their master's favor to live a slightly better life.

But even if the concubines are close to the concubines, they must be people who know many of the secrets of the concubines. Such people must either transform themselves into mothers and be loyal to the concubines forever, or they can only shut up forever.

The eunuchs are even worse. They can only stay in the palace and serve others for the rest of their lives. If nothing happens, they can only be relieved by death.

Therefore, Jian Jian took advantage of the time when other major things could not be done to resolve the issue of palace maids and eunuchs.

So Jian Jian summoned the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Minister of Dress who was busy with Jian Jian filling the harem, and two ministers, to discuss issues such as changing and re-establishing a new system of palace maids and eunuchs.

"The humble ministers are here to see the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Jian Jian put down the fold in his hand and said calmly: "Sit down flat."

After everyone sat down, looked at Jian Yi, and waited for Jian Yi's instructions, Jian Yi organized his speech and said: "When the Queen Mother worked so hard for me this time, I suddenly discovered that there were too many eunuchs in the palace.

Seeing this, I felt very uncomfortable.

Confucius said, the hair and skin of the body are received from parents and do not dare to damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.

And the eunuch system, well, is a bit cruel, so I want to abolish this system."

"Also, I think it's a bit inappropriate to think that a palace maid can only leave the palace after her thirties."

"The reason why I summoned you here this time is to discuss this matter with all my dear friends, and I hope that all my dear ladies can come up with appropriate countermeasures."

The maids and eunuchs serving in the Xuanzheng Hall were startled when they heard this, and then they were all excited and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to Jian Yi to thank him.

The director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette were a little confused after hearing this. This eunuch system has been in place for thousands of years. Why is it that the empress is ready to abolish it?

Sure enough, women are soft-hearted.

However, they have no use for eunuchs and maids, and abolishing this system will not harm their interests. Since the emperor has this idea now, then abolish it.

So after an afternoon of discussion, the new system was announced.

In the past, palace maids were recruited to the palace when they were in their early tenth year. Instead, they were recruited when they were fifteen years old. Then, as before, they were uniformly sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be disciplined for a year and a half, and then they were imported to work in various palaces.

When they work, bosses at all levels will rate and evaluate their performance every month.

After reaching the age of twenty-five, they will agree to be released from the palace. For those who have outstanding performance after leaving the palace, as long as they do not have a marriage contract, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will organize blind dates for them, assign them partners, and also arrange jobs for them.

Provide livelihood.

In this era, most of the palace maids who could walk into the six palaces of the East and West and in front of their masters had some family background, and were either petty officials or wealthy people. Therefore, the blind dates organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for them were all voluntarily signed up by this class.

man.

As for those who do menial jobs in the palace, such as cleaning and laundry, most of them have poor family conditions, so the matchmaking partners organized by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for them are workers in various industries with acceptable living conditions.

For those who did not have a marriage contract before entering the palace, and whose family members want to arrange their own marriages after leaving the palace, and who do not participate in the blind date arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they need to report their favorite candidates to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who will be responsible for the marriage.

A specially formed inspection team goes to inspect the homes they like, and only those that pass the standards set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are allowed.

The main purpose of this move is to prevent the palace maids from being sold by their parents' families to people with extremely poor conditions because of their old appearance after leaving the palace, to fill houses, raise stepchildren, or work as cattle.

Horse, to ensure that they can marry a good man with a similar family background.

In order to ensure their quality of life after leaving the palace and give them a more confident life, Jianjia established eight large factories such as a garment factory, a sugar factory, and an embroidery workshop in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to allow the palace ladies to live a more confident life after they left the palace.

You can choose a factory to work in according to your own wishes.

In a period of twenty years, their children should have grown up and be able to support them; they should have taken care of themselves at the age of fifty-five; and new palace ladies should have left the palace and been arranged to come in.

The eunuch system was also abolished, and the palace would not recruit new eunuchs.

Of course, those in the past will still stay in the palace as usual. When they grow old, they will be managed and supported by the state.

As for the problem of who will do the heavy work in each concubine's palace without eunuchs, it can also be easily solved.

The reason why there are eunuchs is not because the previous emperors and members of the royal family did not want their women to commit adultery with other men, which would make them cuckolds; and to avoid confusing the royal bloodline?

Based on this calculation, it would be enough to simply leave a magical instrument for future generations that can be used for paternity testing and blood testing.

This is very simple for the little ghost king who has been a scientist for a lifetime and has many magic spells.

As for what if the concubine and the guard have sex but she doesn't get pregnant?

Haha, it doesn’t matter if it’s simple, whoever has the daughter-in-law should take care of it.

If future generations don't even have the ability to control their subordinates, then there is nothing that can be done.

How do you say that, oh, descendants will have their own blessings, just let them be.

If the palace maids and guards secretly get involved, it is easy to handle. Just arrange a physical examination every month. This can detect the palace maids' diseases in advance and treat them early; it can also see whether the palace maids have been exposed.

body, whether you are pregnant.
