Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Zhu Yunhuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he also understood the reactions of Zhu Chaofang and Zhu Xuening. In an era when girls were expected to get married at the age of fourteen, eighteen was no longer considered young.

I don't know.

In the 21st century, hundreds of years later.

Eighteen is just the beginning of the best years of a girl's life.

Otherwise, why would Boss Cao specifically target married women? Do you really think Boss Cao has a particular taste for women in their thirties and forties?

"Big sister, second sister, please don't misunderstand."

Zhu Yunhuan pursed his lips and quickly proved his innocence: "I didn't dare to show up in the Eastern Palace before. What I did on weekdays was nothing more than reading and exercising in my room, so I once saw a statement in a medical book." He made up a reasonable excuse for himself.

"What's that?" the two girls asked curiously.

"Women have a short lifespan and often have difficulty giving birth. This is because at the age of fourteen, their bodies are still immature. If we can push the marriage age back, it will not only increase women's lifespan, but also make childbirth easier for them."

"Although the age of childbirth will be relatively delayed, it will be more long-term and will not be detrimental to the people's reproduction." Zhu Yunhuan explained slowly.

Zhu Chaofang and Zhu Xuening frowned and looked at each other.

There was a look of doubt on his face: "Is that so...?"

Or.

They are more unbelieving.

For people with preconceived notions, it is certainly difficult to understand this statement when they hear it for the first time.

Fortunately, it was Zhu Yunhuan who said this.

The two girls would not deny it immediately.

This is another reason why Zhu Yunhuan immediately decided to start working on the newspaper as soon as he thought about it - the ignorance of the people requires a subtle influence.

"But Yunhu...you just saw it in a nonsensical medical book. Who can be sure whether it is true? Moreover, it is not appropriate to act so recklessly in the matter of selecting a concubine just for such a nonsensical statement?" Zhu Chaofang hesitated after a slight pause.

Zhu Xuening also raised an eyebrow and expressed another concern: "On the other hand, there are not many unmarried women at the age of eighteen. You are the king of a country, and it is inappropriate to compromise on the matter of selecting a concubine."

"Uh……"

Zhu Yunhuan was speechless for a moment.

This is indeed a reality he has to face.

After a pause, he tentatively asked, "What about sixteen?"

Zhu Xuening did not comment, but did not object immediately. Zhu Chaofang frowned tightly, probably still thinking that Zhu Yunhuan was too ridiculous to believe what was said in the "medical book".

Zhu Yunhuan saw the hesitation between the two of them.

"In fact, it's not difficult to verify this. Our Fifth Uncle has always been fond of studying medicine and compiling medical books. If we ask him to bring his doctors and physicians to investigate this matter among the people, it won't be difficult to draw a conclusion."

"There's no need to rush the selection of a concubine in just one or two days. Eldest sister, why don't you wait for me to summon Fifth Uncle to the capital and draw a conclusion before you decide whether this matter is appropriate?"

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Zhu Chaofang with bright and determined eyes and said.

Speaking of medicine.

We have to mention his fifth uncle, King Zhu Su of Zhou.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica for Famine Relief" and "Puji Fang" compiled by him were even used in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" in later generations.

Medical conditions and medical and health awareness in ancient times were extremely poor.

If one wants to increase the population, medical conditions are indispensable, so Zhu Yunhuan naturally thought of him immediately.

Zhu Su liked to study medicine, and he must have dealt with doctors and patients on a daily basis. As for women's childbearing age, no one mentioned it to him, so he might not have noticed it.

But as long as Zhu Yunhuan mentioned it to him, maybe he would be able to conclude from the many cases he had come across that Zhu Yunhuan’s conclusion was correct!

Hearing Zhu Yunhuan's words.

Zhu Chaofang and Zhu Xuening both had a thoughtful look on their faces.

His younger brother's seemingly absurd viewpoint did sound a bit outrageous at first, but Zhu Yunhuan didn't mean to blindly believe what was said in the book. Instead, he would first verify it in person...

Think about it carefully.

If this is true, it will be a blessing for women all over the world.

They were both women, and had heard a lot about the deeds of the Emperor's grandmother, Empress Ma. She not only helped the Emperor's grandfather manage the inner palace, but also used her own body to think about women all over the world, allowing ordinary women in the world to get married with phoenix crowns and red robes.

This kindness is admired by people all over the world.

The two of them are Empress Ma's granddaughters, and they are also girls. How could they not want to emulate and learn from her?

Thinking of this, the two women exchanged glances and nodded: "Okay, you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally you have the final say."

After saying this, Zhu Chaofang couldn't help but look at Zhu Yunhuan again, and after a moment, he said with some emotion: "Yunhuan, you will definitely be a good emperor."

There was an expression of immense relief in his eyes.

Without him.

Regardless of whether the view on the age at which women should marry and have children is correct or not.

At least my younger brother saw this point in the medical book, so he immediately brought it up, implemented it, and asked my fifth uncle to conduct research and demonstration.

Women have always had a hard life. Who in the world doesn't take it for granted that women should get married and have children? They also consider childbirth a common occurrence...

But his younger brother is the most respected person in the world.

But he can take into account the difficulties faced by women.

Such a person will surely benefit the world and take care of the people's lives. How can he not be a good emperor?

This sigh was made on behalf of all people in the world.

Being stared at by Zhu Chaofang with burning eyes, Zhu Yunhuan felt a little uncomfortable. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "At least when you are in a position, you should do your job."

"But Yunxun... have you considered one more thing?" At this moment, Zhu Xuening seemed to suddenly remember something, and frowned slightly, as if with some concern, she said, "Even if Fifth Uncle can really verify this, the concept of passing on the family line is deeply engraved in the bones of every citizen. Will they accept it? By then, there will always be some rumors about you..."

Zhu Yunhuan chuckled: "It's just right that Second Sister thought of this. We can just get to the point. I asked Second Sister to come here today because I have something important to discuss."

Public opinion? — Run a newspaper!
