Chapter 619: The Tumbler Lady.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "You mean the twelve beauties Cherry sent over, right?"
It had been a long time since Cherry had sent over the twelve singing and dancing beauties.
Ye Kun didn't even look at them and directly arranged for them to learn new songs and dances and participate in performances in the Grand Theater.
Cherry nodded and smirked.
"I have already made plans. I plan to marry these beauties off to young talents in the army. Or, I will publicly recruit them and marry them off to suitable young men."
Ye Kun knocked on Bingbing's head:
"In recent years, there have been many newborns, but many families have abandoned their girls. In a few years, you will see that the ratio of men to women is unbalanced, and many young men cannot find wives.
Therefore, I intend to amend the current laws, formulate the Han marriage laws, and make regulations on the concubines of wealthy people. "
Of course, there were relevant laws for marriage in ancient times.
But it is not perfect, and some parts do not conform to the humanistic spirit.
Ye Kun wanted to formulate a complete marriage law, declare equality between men and women, and set limits on rich people taking concubines.
Otherwise, in ten years, there will be a large number of bachelors.
Bingbing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't you like beautiful women? Why did you give those twelve Jiangnan women to others..."
"Silly girl, there are so many beauties in the world, how can I like them all? I am the emperor, but I cannot use my imperial power to act too much."
Ye Kun shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't mention these topics in the future. Collect your thoughts and focus on serious matters."
Bingbing smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Ye Kun called two young sketching eunuchs and dictated two short stories in the imperial study. He asked the eunuchs to record and organize them, and then handed them over to professionals for polishing.
After dinner, Ye Kun asked Bingbing to call for music scores and instrumentalists to adapt a few old songs in order to enrich the entertainment programs during the Spring Festival.
Until late at night, Ye Kun suddenly remembered something and said with a smile:
"By the way, Bingbing, I have another idea, which is to train a few tumbler girls. During the Spring Festival, we will arrange a few tumbler girls to sing and dance in the cultural square and interact with tourists, which can be regarded as a landscape."
The lady with the tumbler, that was what Ye Kun saw on a short video before he traveled through time.
Paired with a Hanfu long skirt, it is very elegant and lively.
Bingbing asked, "What is Miss Tumbler?"
Ye Kun explained, drew a simple blueprint, and said to Huang Ye: "Tomorrow morning, notify the Science and Technology City to make the base of the tumbler as soon as possible."
The base of the tumbler is equivalent to a big pot.
After the bottom of the pot is weighted and the performer's leg and waist supports are installed, the performance can begin.
Bingbing is also very smart. She understood it immediately and said with a smile, "Then I won't call her the tumbler anymore. I'll call her the tumbler sister."
"Let's call her Flying Fairy, it's more impressive."
Ye Kun was also tired, so he washed up and went to bed.
Bingbing felt very sorry for Ye Kun and was very caring and gentle to him.
The next day, Ye Kun got up at noon.
But the complexion is still good.
Bingbing said goodbye and went to arrange the cultural and artistic conference tonight.
Ye Kun also notified Wen Axiu, Hongyu, Wei Caiqin and others, as well as Sang Buzhi and Guan Bao.
Unexpectedly, Guan Bao's family replied that Guan Bao was sick and asked for leave tonight.
Ye Kun was a little worried and sent the imperial physician to see Guan Bao.
Tan Bamao happened to come to report on his work. Upon hearing this, he whispered, "Godfather, Guan Bao is not sick, he is just a little upset."
Ye Kun frowned: "Nonsense, Guan Bao is now the second in command of the Nine Departments. In this world, apart from me and Sang Buyi, he is the most powerful. Why are you so upset?"
Guan Bao is one of us. He has followed Ye Kun since Dongba County, and they have a deep relationship.
At the earliest, Guan Bao was entrusted with an important task by Ye Kun and served as the academic officer of Dongba County. Later, in Yizhou, he was responsible for mineral exploration and development in the entire territory. He also served as the prefect of Chengdu for several years. Now he has become the second-in-command of the Nine Departments, second only to one person and above everyone else. He can be said to be in the highest position among officials.
Therefore, Ye Kun didn't believe that Guan Bao would lose his temper.
Tan Bamao said with a smile: "Although Guan Bao's official title is very high, he is dispensable among the nine ministries. This is because Sang Buyi is too capable and has monopolized power. Ma Zhao, Wu Qiong and others are also very powerful, and they may not respect Guan Bao in their hearts.
This time Zhuge Hong was given an important position and was about to take charge of the overall situation in the northwest. So Guan Bao was unhappy and felt that he was useless. "
I rub!
Ye Kun thought about it carefully and realized that it was really the case!
Among the nine departments, Sang Buyi was the most capable and he made all the decisions on matters big and small.
Wu Qiong, Ma Zhao, Ye Qingyang and others all have unique personalities and manage their own territories, so it is difficult for Guan Bao to intervene.
Although Guan Bao held a high official rank, his position was awkward and dispensable in terms of actual work, and he was almost reduced to the level of an ordinary counselor, who just attended meetings as usual every day.
Tan Bamao added: "Godfather, you should assign some specific tasks to Guan Bao."
Ye Kun nodded and asked, "What kind of work do you think Guan Bao is suitable for?"
"Guan Bao is meticulous in his work, and most of his work is done in an orderly manner. He is also honest, not greedy for money, and knows how to keep a low profile and not fight for power..." Tan Bamao thought for a moment and suggested:
"He can be an excellent provincial governor, and can also do a good job in overall work, such as the Minister of Water Resources and Transportation. But I think it is best to let Guan Bao go, so that he can maximize his value."
Ye Kun pondered: "I have already promised Zhuge Hong to go to the Western Regions. Now where should I put Guan Bao?"
"Jiangnan, Jiangdong."
Tan Bamao pointed at the map and said, "The Jiangdong gentry is too powerful, and it is difficult for the imperial power to penetrate to the grassroots. In a few years, I am afraid it will not be a good thing. Godfather wants to relocate the Jiangnan gentry, which is more difficult than fighting a war. Without a reliable person to preside over it, it will be difficult to accomplish."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Ba Mao, I underestimated you. I didn't expect that you are also a talented general. You consider some things more thoroughly than I do."
Ye Kun often has headaches about Jiangdong.
There are too many mountains and transportation is inconvenient, so the nobles form groups and hide their population and land.
Big families oppress the common people and monopolize trade.
There are even bandits in some places who cannot be eradicated!
Every time immigration was carried out from Jiangdong, troops had to be mobilized to enforce the law.
Although there has been some improvement in recent years, it is still far from what Ye Kun expected.
Tan Bamao said with a smile: "Godfather, Guan Bao is also old, fifty years old. It would be good to let him go to Jiangnan for ten or six months to build a career, and then come back to retire."
Ye Kun nodded: "This time, Godfather will listen to you. Let's go and see Guan Bao."
There is a special rickshaw in front of the imperial study.
Ye Kun and Tan Bamao, each in a car, went to Guan Bao's house in casual clothes.
Tan Bamao sat on the rickshaw and said with a smile, "Godfather, this rickshaw is very easy to use. It's not bumpy at all when sitting on it. I tried to pull the rickshaw, and it wasn't tiring. I could run three miles in one breath."
Ye Kun squinted his eyes and smiled: "How about letting the driver take a break, and you pull the cart for a while, that would be considered as exercise?"
