Chapter 606: The Saint is kind-hearted and loves the girl (Thanks to Mu Chuan Mu Zi for the reward~)
After the Longevity Festival, it rained several times, one autumn rain and one cold, this day can be regarded as a Cool down.
Although the weather has turned colder, the heated atmosphere created by various topics in Chang'an City is still as lively as in summer, making people's interest in discussion unabated.
Since more than twenty days ago, at various gates of Chang'an City, you can always see the caravans entering the city that are as long as a stream, and the teams leaving the city are also not small, and they are all dragging their families. Those who led the response responded by relocating to the border towns in the north.
And the officials were also very responsible. After gathering enough people who signed up for relocation, they arranged for them to follow a group of Imperial Guard soldiers to go north.
In this way, their safety is guaranteed and they can spend the early days safer and faster.
However, no matter how bold they are, this group of people is only a thousand people. For the millions of people in Chang'an City, they are just a drop in the ocean.
But Lang Guan'er, who is in charge of this matter, is very optimistic about this matter. According to Lang Guan'er said: "People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They can take the initiative to respond to those who go to the border town at this time." , I am afraid that life in Chang'an City is really unsatisfactory, or even life is very bad, so I have to take the risk and go to the border town to seek a way out.
But people have in-laws, even if they are alone. , there can also be three or five friends coming.
As long as this group of people arrives in the north, settles down, and establishes themselves there, we will wait until their letter is sent back to Chang'an City next year. , I’m afraid I’ll be too busy by then.
Moreover, don't forget that there are only so many people in Chang'an City. If people from all over the Tang Dynasty migrated there, there would be a lot of people in total. ”
In addition to the fact that the people in the streets and alleys are still discussing the matter of moving to the North, there is another major event related to people’s lives that occupies everyone’s minds.
Nearly a month has passed. In August, regarding the "prohibition of incest marriages" in the report from Li Sanniang that was presented in court by the Imperial Medical Office Wang Shu, and the matter of "raising the age of marriage" mentioned in Li Sanniang's report that Xu Jingzhen later supported. Son, the news finally came out on this day, and it was also included in the law.
The paper posted at the door of Jingzhao Mansion was clearly written word for word.
And, The Jingzhao Mansion also asked various workshops to give them lessons to make them thoroughly understand these two items, and then sent them a task, asking them to have a good talk with the people in the workshop after they went back
"This close relative is included in the three servings. If you don't want to give birth to a stupid child with a weak body, you have to remember this."
Most of the people sitting below are gray. The old men with blond hair were all prominent people from all walks of life in Chang'an City. Occasionally, there were a few young people mixed in among them. Everyone was really shocked by these words.
Everyone opened their mouths and stared with disbelief on their faces.
The scribe of Jingzhao Mansion who was speaking naturally saw their confusion, and raised his hand to the hundreds of people below him. After seeing that they had calmed down, he turned his attention to what he had said earlier. Come up with examples you have thought of and tell them.
“In a certain family, the husband married his maternal aunt’s cousin and had no children. After three or four times of this, he would give birth to a weak child with a heart disease. That child Neither lived past his first birthday.
This is all pretty good, but for those who have a bad fate, they will be born with idiots who only know how to eat, drink, and defecate, but cannot recognize people or do anything.
What's the use of having a child like this?
It would be better not to give birth! "
After the scribe gave a few more examples, he saw that everyone in the audience was moved by what he heard, and then he stopped talking.
Then someone else came up, this one The scribe mainly came to explain the second specific issue of "raising the age of marriage for girls"
"This is because doctors at Tai Hospital have discovered that if a girl remarries and gives birth after she is eighteen years old, the child's survival rate can be increased. At this time, the girl herself can also increase the probability of a normal birth. This means that , a girl who is over 18 has a greater chance of saving her life than a girl who is under 18, and can give birth to a child that is healthy and easy to feed.
But this is not a rigid rule like the previous one, it is optional.”
An old man standing in the front row cupped his hands and asked, “May I ask, what does optional mean?” "
"Hey, it's easy. If your family has a small fortune, some spare money, and you feel sorry for your daughter, you can come to Jingzhao Mansion to pay money to extend the marriage age.
< br>
For example, you have to get married at the age of 15, that is, you have to marry at the age of 15. As long as you pay the money for one year, you can keep the girl at home for one year, and you can keep the girl at home for three years at most. After you turn 18, you must Married.
But you still have to follow the old rule of marrying off a girl at the age of fifteen. That is also possible, and there is no need to pay. "
As soon as the scribe finished speaking, the people standing under the stage began to chat in a buzzing manner. Those who understood stroking their beards and said: "The saint has a kind heart. This is because he feels sorry for the woman. Mother. ”
And those who agree will naturally have objections.
Human beings are such a species. In a group, there must be two groups of people with completely different opinions. Sometimes the same person Question, there will be multiple or even dozens of people with different opinions
"Absurd!
A girl should get married when she reaches old age. Otherwise, she would have to spend her family's money to buy flowers. Wouldn't it be ridiculous!"
There are also those who are silent in response, As for whether they support or deny it, it actually doesn't matter. After all, the rules set by the top will naturally be enforced by the people below.
Moreover, when others benefit from the new rules, those who did not follow the new rules will definitely regret it.
With such examples, you will naturally have your own ideas on how to choose people.
After explaining clearly, the scribe handed over his hands and left.
The hundreds of Fangzhengs left Jingzhao Mansion in small groups. On the way back to the place, they were all thinking about how to talk about these two things to the people in the place. Speak clearly.
The old man Wang sitting on the donkey cart heading back to the three cities outside the city was the one who just said in Jingzhao Mansion that Emperor Wu was a kind-hearted man.
As for why Mr. Wang can stand in the front row?
Because although he is the chief of the three cities outside Chang'an City, the number of people under his management is much larger than that of the first village.
Mr. Wang has a loyal and upright temperament, a kind heart, and is very fair and moral. Because of this, he was elected as Fangzhenglai within a short period of time after Waisancheng was completed.
Because of this, Mr. Wang can be regarded as having two points more noodles than other squares in Jingzhao Mansion, so he can stand in the front row of Jingzhao Welfare among hundreds of squares.
As for what Old Man Wang could say in Jingzhao Mansion just now, in addition to the fact that he really felt that the saint was kind-hearted and loved women to make such a rule, it was because Old Man Wang was There are really such pitiful things happening in the outer three cities where I am.
The donkey walked slowly, and there were many people in Chang'an. After walking for so long, he still didn't reach Anhua Gate.
Zhao Da, who was holding the whip and spanking the donkey's buttocks, couldn't help but froze after hearing what Old Man Wang said. He turned his head blankly and looked at the people sitting on the carriage. Old man Wang asked: "Fangzheng, what the officials said should be true!
Isn’t that little girl in Old Man Li’s house just giving birth to a child? ”
Thanks to Mu Chuan Mu Zi for supporting 100 starting coins, and I am very grateful to Bao Zi for his support and encouragement to me~
