The Overlord of the Red Mansion

In the eighth year of the Holy Dynasty, in April, the world was at peace.

Holy Palace, Women's Virtue College

"Strange, why is no one pregnant yet?"

Jia Rong sat on the holy virtue chair of the Women's Virtue Academy, looking at the students of the Women's Virtue class kneeling in front of him.

As early as the first year of the Sheng Dynasty, Jia Rong opened a women's virtue academy in the palace to train ladies.

These women mainly studied courses such as mathematics, medicine, and court banquet etiquette. Their tuition was paid by the court. After graduation, they could be granted imperial titles individually, with the lowest rank being ninth and the highest being sixth.

The members are mainly daughters of court officials and orphans of meritorious officials, and their age must not be higher than 25 years old and not lower than 8 years old.

The nobles have their own ways to enter the palace, and the ministers have their own ways to enter the palace.

Shangguan Wan'er followed the virtuous female route and entered Jia Rong's bedside to serve him, and these women were similar.

Lin Daiyu and others often came to teach the young people here, and Jia Yuanchun also came to teach the rules to prove her virtue as a queen.

Most of the time, only by acting as a teacher of etiquette can one appear authoritative.

As the queen, Jia Yuanchun needs this kind of authority.

However, Jia Yuanchun did not come today. When Jia Rong came, he helped these ladies to check their health.

Xue Baochai stood aside and listened, and asked, "Your Majesty, during the New Year, Xue Ke's wife said that she was pregnant again."

Jia Rong was speechless. "That has nothing to do with me. The affairs of a few people do not represent God's will. They are like a few small puddles during a drought or a few trees left by a fire. They are insignificant."

"It is only me and many other princes and ministers in the court who are not pregnant. The rest of the princes are too old to be pregnant. The King of Dongying, the King of Tianzhu and other nobles have not had any children in the past two years."

"It's almost the same for all the ministers in the court. Anyone who was in Beijing last year couldn't get a woman pregnant. If she gets pregnant now, it must be a bastard. Just ask her and you'll know she's having an affair."

Xue Baochai nodded, and understood that Xue Ke’s health had nothing to do with this matter. He was just like the people in the capital and had better luck.

Jia Rong remembered that his birth control pills were effective for one year, but it had been three or four months already, so why hadn’t the effect worn off yet?
Could it be that because I ate too much, not only did I lose my immunity, but it caused a systemic collapse?
Jia Rong soon stopped thinking about this matter.

It doesn’t matter whether you have children or not. As for whether others have children or not, it has nothing to do with you.

There is no harm in having fewer children, and it is also good to have no children.

"I feel very sad when I think about you women with excellent moral integrity being unable to get pregnant and become mothers."

Jia Rong sighed and said, "Don't worry, I will study medicine carefully and help you heal your body."

A group of young ladies from the women's virtue class quickly fell to the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Holy Emperor!"

Jia Rong said, "If you have no offspring, you will be ostracized by others after you leave the palace. It is common for your property to be seized and you to be homeless. So you should work hard in the palace. If you don't want to leave the palace in the future, you can serve in the palace. If you want to leave the palace, I will give you the title of a royal lady to ensure that you will not be bullied or humiliated after you leave the palace."

The women thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! We are loyal to Your Majesty and are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, no matter what it takes!"

Jia Rong soon went to the women's courtyard again.

It was the turn of spring and summer, and the Holy Palace Hospital was filled with young women wearing head nurse uniforms, with their hair tied up and wearing nurse caps.

The oldest one is in her forties. She has been with Jia Rong for ten years and was one of the first women to be confiscated by the late emperor after the Minister of Personnel's family was ransacked.

The ladies and girls of the Hong family not only had to serve Jia Rong, but also had to learn various nursing knowledge and accompany Jia Rong to run the first women's hospital.

As the dean of the hospital, Jia Rong had to take off the pants of many female patients at that time, but he also saved many people who were in excruciating pain from the brink of death.

Not only women, but many men were saved as well.

Such as the common wisdom tooth problems, as well as various inflammations and stomach problems.

I've had several surgeries, and most of the patients died.

The main reason why Jia Rong has not practiced medicine much in recent years is that some young doctors and nurses have gradually grown up under him.

These female doctors and nurses know a lot about medical chemistry.

In the absence of professional instruments and modern equipment, Jia Rong felt that the difference would become smaller and smaller, so he simply ignored it.

Mrs. Hong brought a group of female nurses to accompany Jia Rong on his ward rounds.

As they were checking, a group of people went to the dean's room to check.

After coming out refreshed, everyone can discuss medical issues calmly.

Jia Rong was idle all day long, and gradually the country became more and more prosperous.

After two or three years of recuperation, the population in all parts of the country increased.

Strong industrial capacity allowed textile technology to become more outstanding, and a large number of poor people could also afford fresh clothes.

Because the imperial court did not collect much grain and did not distribute grain to most officials, military officers in various places had to spend money to buy food, and local people could also exchange money for food.

Because of the encouragement of agriculture, grain production also increased. While steel production increased, various agricultural machinery was also driven to Jia Rong's royal farm, and some oxen were eliminated and handed over to the public.

Even if food prices are repeatedly suppressed, people can still earn some money, which allows them to survive and buy food, drinks, clothes and other necessities for their families.

In particular, in several places that were exempt from tax, beauty pageants were held every year to select the most beautiful girls as tribute to the benevolent Holy Emperor.

There is basically no privileged class in the court.

Either it is dead or it has not grown up yet.

Or maybe he was just too far away from Jia Rong.

The advancement of science and technology, productivity, and a ruler who spent all day playing with women in the palace and did not put much pressure on the lower classes allowed the people of this era to live a good life that they had not seen in thousands of years.

We have been engaged in industry for more than ten years, and policies have always been supporting and encouraging us. We have developed railways, trains, ships and airplanes.

Jia Rong had no money to arrange national defense because there had not been any enemy that could be considered a threat in recent years.

It would be fine if he didn't hit others, but others would come and provoke him for no reason.

In the past, when people sent women as tribute, they would still be beaten by people sent by the previous emperor.

After Jia Rong became the Holy Emperor, all the people in the south were beaten regardless of whether they sent women or not. Then he continued to collect women and tributes, and sent people to assist the local king in governing the people.

Populations everywhere began to explode.

Jia Rong is already the emperor of the world's most powerful country, so he actually doesn't need so many people.

Whether it is the development of science and technology or other things, not many people are needed, and most people are farmers.

Machines are better than humans at farming, and there is no need for those people to go to war, and there is no shortage of outstanding talents willing to serve the country.

Jia Rong actually doesn't care about the lower class. He is too lazy to pay attention to them, but he also doesn't want to torment or abuse them.

When a disaster occurs, all we have to do is send people to provide relief, just like it’s a game.

If there is a corrupt official, he will be killed.

When there is a plague, send people to treat it and accumulate experience.

Encourage production, have children and farm well.

For popular science education, just read some books and recognize some words.

In short, it’s just like playing games. If something goes wrong, just solve it casually and don’t keep asking about it.

This has surpassed ninety-nine percent of emperors and reached the level of a saintly monarch.

Most rulers also have to consider factions, funding, work order, etc., but Jia Rong does not have so many considerations.

June, the eighth year of the Holy Dynasty.

Jia Rong sat at the entrance of the indoor swimming pool of Shenggong Water Park, lazily lying on a beach chair, watching the thousand beauties and girls in front of him doing warm-up exercises together.

Squat and stand up.

Squat and stand up.

Turn around, squat, and stand up.

Squat and stand up.

Hold the ground with both hands, slowly open your legs, and squat down. Put one hand on your left knee, straighten your right leg, and stretch your leg.

Change your position and press your left leg.

Get up.

Put your hands behind you, touch your hips, stretch your left leg, take a step, and squat.

Recover, stand up, turn around.

Squat down slowly, lean your body slowly against the ground, lift your feet, curl up, hug your legs with your hands, and maintain the position for one minute.

……

Jia Rong felt bored as he looked at the women lying on the ground with their legs hugged and their buttocks exposed.

Just when Jia Rong was bored, a palace maid near the door quickly said something to Shangguan Wan'er.

Not long after, Shangguan Wan'er came in and knelt down, then moved her knees closer to Jia Rong.

"Your Majesty, there's news from the palace that the son of the director of the Transportation Bureau and the president of a Kyoto newspaper were fighting over a female actor and had a gunfight in the street. The newspaper president is dead."

Jia Rong felt even more bored. "Is the actor a man or a woman?"

Shangguan Wan'er replied, "I don't know."

Jia Rong was too lazy to ask, "The murderer shall be put to death, and the crime of murder with a gun shall be aggravated! He will be taken to the Meridian Gate and shot tomorrow. His father will be dismissed from his post and demoted back to his hometown for not educating his son strictly. His brothers and sisters will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations, and his sons and the sons of his brothers and sisters will not be allowed to go to school. For those who are already enrolled, forget it and continue their studies."

"From now on, just follow the rules for things like this, no need to ask me."

Shangguan Wan'er said respectfully, "As you wish."

It mainly involves officials, and such matters where people have died should be decided by the Holy Emperor.

But Jia Rong didn't even want to care about such matters of human life, he just felt bored.

Jia Rong had the idea of abdicating again and didn't want to be this boring emperor anymore.

It would be better to let the prince come back and familiarize himself with state affairs in advance.

This is what Jia Rong thought.

At least that's what I thought at this time.

Jia Rong quickly stood up and walked outside.

After the beauties who were doing warm-up exercises noticed that the Saint King had left, they continued to do their exercises carefully, wondering if someone had done it in the wrong order and made the Saint King unhappy.

Normally, the Holy Lord would play in the water with everyone for a while.

Jia Rong soon arrived at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Jia Yuanchun was taking a nap at this time. Although there was no air conditioning or fan in the room, there were maids fanning her, and the room was not hot.

When Qingyun saw Jia Rong come in, she knelt down quickly and quietly without making any sound.

Having followed him for twenty years, I know very well that Jia Rong doesn't like others making noise when he comes in alone.

Jia Rong walked over to Jia Yuanchun and sat down, looking at Jia Yuanchun who was sleeping soundly.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun was taking a summer nap, so she was only wearing a silk robe similar to pajamas, with her arms and large areas of white hair exposed.

Jia Rong quickly reached down from behind Jia Yuanchun's open collar, and immediately woke up the sleeping Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun opened her eyes, and after seeing that it was Jia Rong, she continued to lie down, looking at Jia Rong lazily and in a good mood.

"Why did Your Majesty think of me?"

The two had been married for twenty years, and the palace maids nearby had also been servants and maids who had served for a long time, from servants to palace maids and then to nannies.

Whether it is sex or other matters, there is no need to avoid these servants who are like buildings.

Jia Rong took off his shoes and lay down, facing Jia Yuanchun on the bed.

"Nothing, I just came here to have a look out of boredom. Something seemed to be going on, but I forgot what it was when I got here."

Jia Rong helped Jia Yuanchun take off her clothes.

Qingyun and Qinyun, who were nearby, stood up and helped take off Jia Rong's socks and pants.

She was used to being served and didn't need Jia Rong to say anything.

As soon as Jia Rong sat on the bed, the two of them knew what good thing he was going to do.

Jia Yuanchun, who is almost forty years old, has considered herself an old woman in recent years. She also remembers that when her mother was her age, she had stopped sleeping with her father.

Now that she saw that her husband still liked her body, she felt happy in her heart.

"Forget it if you want to. The world is peaceful now, the country is prosperous and the people are strong. It must not be a big deal."

Jia Rong stroked Jia Yuanchun's well-maintained mature body and said with a smile, "You're right. Although I always forget things, I can always remember them sometimes."

This is an advantage.

Jia Yuanchun was also moved at this time, but she said: "Your Majesty has so many young and beautiful girls around him, I thought Your Majesty didn't like me anymore."

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I have played with Li Wan many times, and you are no worse than her. What's wrong with me coming here?"

Jia Yuanchun blushed, "Your Majesty is still so casual and still so young."

"I am in good health!" Jia Rong laughed and said, "Qingyun and Qinyun are ready to serve me! I will also favor you later!"

Qingyun and Qinyun, two women who had been maids for half their lives, knelt down excitedly and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!!"

They had been favored by Jia Rong in their early years, but that was when they were young.

But unfortunately, I didn't get pregnant, so I was a maid for half my life.

It is definitely impossible for her to get pregnant now that she is forty years old, but being favored by the emperor is undoubtedly a good thing. For the two of them who cannot leave the palace in their lifetime, this good thing may be the last time.

Jia Rong quickly remembered what he was going to say about the prince, but at this moment he didn't care about it anymore.

Not only did Jia Rong favor the two personal maids who served as nurses, he was also very kind-hearted.

"Let Zijuan, Xueyan, Jinchuan, Yinchuan, Caixia, Caiyun, Xiren, Bihen, and Sheyue come here! Whoever can get pregnant will be promoted from a palace maid to a queen!"

While Jia Rong was being intimate with the queen, he was kind enough to let other women come and serve him, giving each of them a chance to improve their class!
This is undoubtedly... exciting news!

It directly gave hope to those slaves and maids who had been working like beasts of burden for more than 30 years!
Everyone was so moved that their eyes were filled with tears. After quickly washing themselves, they knelt beside the bed and waited in line, serving this benevolent king with all their heart.

Unfortunately, the whole group of people were useless, and by August no one was pregnant.

Generally speaking, if more than 4,000 beauties in the harem cannot get pregnant, it must be because the only man is useless.

But that's not the case here. Jia Rong's woman is not pregnant, and a group of important officials and nobles outside have not had a pregnant woman in almost two years.

"Someone must be holding a grudge against me and the Holy Dynasty!"

Jia Rong passed the buck in the court.

"Investigate! Investigate those monks and Taoist priests, as well as those I ordered to be severely punished! If the remaining poison is not eradicated, I and all of you will never have peace!!"

Soon, the imperial court began to crack down on Buddhism, Taoism and various folk groups in various parts of the country. No matter what religion it was, as long as it was not a holy religion, it should be punished.

Countless people began to cry out for injustice, but Jia Rong could not hear any of it in the palace.

Three months later, when it was the twelfth lunar month again, the diligent Jia Rong made Jia Yingchun pregnant.

After Jia Yingchun became pregnant, starting from the ninth year of the Sheng Dynasty, good news gradually came from the homes of various nobles and ministers in the court.

Now people are more convinced that those monks and Taoists are all bad people, and they also believe that only the Holy Emperor can lead everyone to a good life!
Whether it is striving to get rich or having children, or women and enjoyment, the Holy Emperor is always the one who takes the lead, otherwise it would be unjust.

With destiny as their witness, everyone accepted the fact that their newlywed wives were sealed by Jia Rong as a matter of course.

It happened that this year that scientific and technological productivity exploded, people's living standards improved, the Holy Religion Midwifery Team became more free to operate, the number of babies born in various places also increased sharply, and coupled with the publicity of this event in local newspapers, everyone believed that it was the Emperor Jia Rong who communicated with the heavens to allow everyone to have children smoothly.

Two years passed in a daze, and the Holy Dynasty lasted for nine years. Jia Rong, who had been on the throne for ten years, had become the well-deserved Holy Emperor. (End of this chapter)
