C3505 Women More (1/2)
Money, power, women... These were the three mountains that no man could avoid, the mountains of desire!
The Qing Dynasty had ruled the Central Plains for almost three hundred years, what did she rely on? Was it all a massacre, suppressed by force? Obviously not. In the early dynasties, they used knives or many knives, but they could not always kill people in the later stages of the dynasty.
In order to obtain the loyalty of the Chinese group, these three magical equipment were indispensable!
Why did Yang Zhi surrender to the Qing Dynasty? In the end, these three Chinese had not satisfied him, although Xiao Letian had offered a high salary, it was still higher than Yang Zhi's current family property.
Yang Zhi was merely a rich man in the Ryukyu, but in the Qing Dynasty, he could be said to be an extremely wealthy man. The amount of silver his family had kept for a long time exceeded 2 million Silver Coins, not to mention those properties, fields, pastures, workshops that he could not even count in himself … And countless investments.
A millionaire at the level of ten million wouldn't be able to escape!
As for his position of power, Yang Zhi was already a third ranked assistant minister. As a official who had surrendered only a few years ago, his status was extremely high.
Woman! How many women did Yang Zhi have? Even he could not count his own number. Although the Chinese had yet to abolish polygamy, there were still rules in private.
In the Chinese government, as an official, you can't possibly have more women by your side than an officer, right? And he can't possibly have more officers than Xiao Letian!
Xiao Letian had only two wives, Hu Niu and Fu Hui, and the 12 golden hairpins that the 12 big girls called the leader's backyard!
The Princess Cissie in Europe was just a lover, there was no status!
There were only fourteen of them, and to be honest, Xiao Letian did not sleep with all of them. He had a huge amount of work to do everyday, so he did not have the mood to think about these random things.
There were only so many women in the Head of State's residence, two wives and fourteen concubines. The officials below would then have to lower their numbers according to this standard!
And the highest status Xiao Letian had was Four Heavenly Kings, the Far East King's Dragon Lord, while the King Yi didn't count when he was overseas.
The Four Heavenly Kings and the Far Eastern King both had unlecherous personalities, only Luo Huo had no future. He had one wife and four concubines, while Wang Huaiyuan only had a very ordinary wife, he didn't even have a concubine.
Now, the officials could only continue to lower the number of their wives. If they waited for someone at Yang Zhi's level to be able to have a wife and a concubine, that would be the end!
The real higher-ups of the Chinese clan all knew very well that Xiao Letian originally wanted to promote monogamy just like how Europeans would. However, because of various reasons, he got himself two wives, and in the end, this rule couldn't be enforced any further.
But the promotion of women's rights was not just nonsense, it was real action. Currently, women's right to education and work had already been included in the list of Chinese Statute Book s.
If Xiao Letian was unable to do it, his successor would also have to advance to a monogamous marriage sooner or later.
It worked, even though they knew what the Head of the Guards hated, they did not dare to blatantly expand the harem, which made Yang Zhi very unhappy!
In his eyes, when a good man creates a business, isn't it just a group of wives and concubines that he wants? Without women, men would not fight at all! If you don't let me marry another wife, what am I going to do with Xiao Letian!
After escaping to the Qing Dynasty, Yang Zhi had the money and power to naturally take in wives. He had four residences in the Beijing and three manors in the Western Mountain.
Ci Xi and the others liked this kind of subjects. They weren't afraid that there was something wrong with you, what they were afraid of was that there was nothing wrong with you.
The imperial court had plenty of women. As long as you were loyal enough to make money for the imperial court, the imperial court would definitely benefit from your efforts.
