Chapter 787: Three Thousand Harem

"Your Majesty, Su Wei has been asking to see him."

In the Yanying Palace, Shangshu's left servant shot Hou Mo Chen Yi wearing a purple robe and jade belt, and wearing a jade unicorn charm unique to Yuanmou heroes on his waist, and his face was full of red light.

Now that Great Qin has replaced Great Sui, he is no longer a courtier of the Sui Dynasty, but has become the founding hero of Great Qin, and has also become the central prime minister.

Because Luo Cheng had served as the Shangshu Order, the Internal History Order, and the Zhongshu Order before he ascended the throne, the current positions of these three high-ranking officials are all empty and not granted.

Although the power of the center started from the Daye Dynasty and has been slowly transferred from the Shangshu Province of the Kaihuang Dynasty to the Political Affairs Hall, the Political Affairs Hall is still located in Shangshu Province, and it is naturally still dominated by Shangshu Province.

His left-hand shot is equivalent to the prime minister.

"Su Wei is old, and he can't go home to care for the elderly, what do you want to do when you come out?"

Yanying Hall is not an outer court, nor is it an inner court of Zichen Palace, this is just a place for the emperor and the prime ministers to discuss matters, so there are no guards here, and there are no imperial history and ritual supervisors, and the monarchs and ministers do not pay attention to so much etiquette when they speak, which is very convenient.

Su Wei is talented, Luo Cheng admits it.

This guy can become one of the four nobles of the Wen Dynasty, and one of the five nobles of the Yang Guang Dynasty, after two dynasties of the Sui Dynasty, a total of five ups and downs, I have to say that he is very capable, this is a very talented prime minister. It's a pity that this person also has a lot of problems, such as greed for money, for example, he likes friends, the party is the same and different, and he has the backbone of a loyal minister, and he likes to flatter the emperor.

Yang Guang's defeat, I have to say that he is also largely responsible.

Thinking of Su Wei's cooperation before, Luo Cheng therefore awarded him a second-grade Guanglu doctor this time, and retained his title of Duke of Piguo, although he was demoted to a virtual duke, he was still the position of the Duke of Guo.

But with him, Luo Cheng is unwilling.

I'm too old, I'm in my eighties. Second, there are a lot of stains on this person, especially those who can't be washed away in the name of this traitor in the past, and using him again will not be good for the reputation of the new dynasty.

"I won't see Su Wei anymore, send someone to reward him with some money, and then let him go back to his hometown to retire."

Solvay's matter was pressed.

Shangshu's right servant shot Du Ruhui said that the establishment of the new dynasty is to be revived, and the most important thing now is to appease the people's hearts, so an edict should be issued to implement an amnesty, and at the same time exempt the people of the world from rent for one year.

Luo Cheng nodded.

"In the past, the lord fainted and treacherous, which led to turmoil in the world, and hundreds of people were also in dire straits, and now we have the responsibility to restore peace in the world and relieve the people from hanging upside down."

The voice of the young emperor echoed in the main hall.

After thinking about it, Luo Cheng said again, "Although we have not yet pacified the whole world, for the areas that we have controlled, including Lingnan, Annan, Daibei and other places that are attached to the table, I think we should also implement the two-tax system that we began to implement in Liaodong before, and change the past to Ding as the basis of national taxation, and to take the wealth of the family and the amount of land as the basis for tax collection. At the same time, industrial and commercial taxes should also be grasped. Now the country is in ruins, and even most of the world has not been reunified, and there is still a war, which requires money, and we can't put these burdens on the people, we have to find a way to open source. ”

Several prime ministers have no objection to Luo Cheng's two tax laws, after all, this is a top policy that has been implemented in Liaodong before, and the effect is still very good.

"Your Majesty, now you should call me instead of me." Wei Zheng reminded the emperor.

Luo Cheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm immortal, there is no one else here anyway." ”

"Tuntian should continue, and at the same time, it is also necessary to step up the implementation of Juntian in Shandong, Huainan, Fanyang, Daibei and other places. Let the local government clear the fields and appease the displaced people, no matter where the people are from, as long as they are willing, they can settle down in the local area and grant land, so that they can settle down as soon as possible. ”

"Wei Zheng, you are responsible for taking the lead and starting to draft the laws of my Great Qin Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, please give a name to the new law, and at the same time ask Your Majesty to instruct the new law to be loose or tight?" Wei Zheng asked.

There are two laws in the Great Sui Dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, it was the law of the emperor, which was revised several times, and the law of the great cause was repaired after the son of heaven succeeded to the throne. In general, the law of the great cause was more lenient than the law of the emperor, and the law of the emperor was also looser than the law of the previous dynasty, and many corporal punishments were abolished.

"Although it is said that the troubled times should be re-enacted, but if there is turmoil today and the people are in danger, I think it is better to be more relaxed. The new law is called the Great Qin Kaiyuan Law. ”

After Yan Ying's recital ended, Luo Cheng returned to the inner court.

Qianqing Palace.

This is the dormitory of Emperor Luo Cheng and the head of the inner court.

Shan Binbin brought the Li family and the Cui family to meet the emperor.

"Your Majesty!"

The concubines saluted Luo Cheng.

"Why are the concubines here?"

When Luo Cheng went to that station, the palace maids came over to take off the robe when the emperor met the prime minister, and changed into relaxed civilian clothes.

Taking off the Ming Huang Yanlong robe, the palace people changed into a black robe for the emperor.

Shan Binbin said that now this Forbidden Palace City was originally the Linshuo Palace of Emperor Sui Ming, although it took a lot of manpower and material resources to build it, and it was newly built for a few years, but after all, it is only a palace, and it is still a little narrow.

In addition, there are relatively few eunuchs and palace people in this palace, and many of them are still very old, and many palace people were taken away or fled in the war.

"The concubine wants to ask His Majesty to issue a decree to recruit a group of young ladies from all over the country to enter the palace, and at the same time release those old palace people from the palace."

In the past, the palace people were elected into the palace, and under normal circumstances, they would not be released from the palace, and only after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, some palace maids would be released out of the palace.

"The affairs of this harem should have been managed by you, but now at the beginning of the founding of the country, some rules have not yet been established. I think that the local government can recruit show girls, instead of conscription, by the private age of women voluntarily sign up, the selected one to their families a settlement fee, these show girls sent to the palace, after training and then assigned to the palace to work, three years can be released to their hometown, so that there will be no palace people in vain, old age miserable. ”

Moreover, changing recruitment to recruitment can also prevent the local government from taking the opportunity to disturb the people and make chickens and dogs jump.

Anyway, this show girl was only selected to be a palace person, not a concubine for the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks this is a virtue, but if this is the case, the concubine thinks that she should choose some more virtuous and virtuous women to enter the palace to enrich Your Majesty's harem."

"We'll talk about that later." Luo Cheng interrupted Shan.

"I think about it, now it's time for me to canonize you as queen."

The first year of the Great Qin Dynasty, October.

The emperor issued an edict to canonize Shan as the empress, Li as the noble concubine, Yan as the concubine, Cui as the concubine, and Zheng as the virtuous concubine.

One queen and four concubines, these four concubines are all fixed, and the first and four concubines are all one person.

Below the four concubines, there are nine concubines such as Zhaoyi, and nine Jieyu and nine beauties, all of whom basically have their own quotas. At present, the emperor divided the first and fourth concubines, and canonized several Hu women, and the six Hu concubines from Xi Qixi and Goguryeo were the third grade Jieyu, but the position of the nine concubines of the second rank was still vacant.

Under the emperor's first queen, four concubines and nine concubines.

Jieyu, beauty, and talent each have nine, twenty-seven, and they are generations of women. Baolin, the royal maid, and the maiden are twenty-seven each, eighty-one, and they are the royal wives.

Of course, it is impossible for ordinary emperors to really have so many concubines and beauties, such as Yang Guang, the son of heaven, in fact, the number of concubines and beauties in the harem is very small.
