Chapter 10: Goodbye Scholar 10

Because the concubine was very favored, the emperor directly praised such little feet as really good-looking, so the celebrities at that time followed suit.

But people's feet are so big, some people may be smaller, but they will not be much smaller, that concubine is a cat demon, everyone knows that the cat's feet are a little more prominent than the legs, but people can't, so it became what it is today.

Although the cat demon was later exposed, the emperor at that time was not as enlightened as the one he is today, not only did he not care that he was sleeping with a monster, but also made the best use of it, and the natural disaster asked them to save the field, but found that the monster was going to fight and kill, and the cat demon naturally fled.

But this bad habit has been passed down, and now it has become a shackle that binds human women, so when she hears this, she becomes irritable.

She thought that this world was the same as the first life, because of some reason, but it turned out that there was such a reason here that there was a wind of foot binding, the problem was that the cat demons of people were exposed, why should humans continue to be so ugly******* I hadn't thought about this problem before, and now I think about it, it's really wrong, can people and cats have the same feet? He hadn't paid attention to foot binding before.

"Even so, it's become a custom, and it's not so easy to change. The Queen Mother sighed.

"Actually, I think this has to be changed. Ouyang Lin suddenly said with a twist of his mind.

"Oh, why?" the Emperor wondered.

"Didn't the emperor worry about the country and the people now, but the population has not been able to grow?" Ouyang Lin also thought of this by chance.

"What does this have to do with foot binding?" The emperor looked at her to see what she could say, and he understood that Ouyang Lin had been committed to getting them to abolish foot binding, and had thought of a torture for him before, the punishment of foot binding.

"If the population does not grow, it is not that people do not give birth, but that they do not have children, the children are weak, and the mortality rate is high. Ouyang Lin said.

"That's true, even in the harem. The Queen Mother nodded, in addition to framing each other between the imperial concubines, the weak health of the children themselves is also the reason for the high mortality rate.

"Could it be that this kid's weakness has something to do with the binding of his feet?" the emperor raised his eyebrows, not thinking that it had anything to do with it.

"The so-called fertile land is highly productive, but the food grown is also of good quality, and people are the same, women with bound feet have difficulty walking, and they can sit and not stand on weekdays, and their bodies are very weak.

How can a child born from such a body be good, think about it, another point is that the girl is too young, she has not fully grown up, and she is not suitable for childbearing, and most of the children born are born weak.

Look at it, are those who have children healthy and live in their 20s?" Since Ouyang Lin spoke, he naturally said that it would be a loss to get married and have children in the 14th Five-Year Plan.

The county lord of Yuyao didn't look good at talking about having children with the emperor's unmarried daughter, but unfortunately, she saw that the queen mother and the emperor were in good spirits, and she didn't dare to say anything, but she made up her mind to go back and teach the rules well.

"So, you mean that if you don't bind your feet, you can improve the survival rate of your children if you marry later?" the emperor thought about it and found that it was true that the vast majority of the surviving mothers of the children in his harem were above 20.

The few young surviving princes have a worse physical foundation than others, and it seems that this is also the case among the emperors and grandsons, and it actually makes sense when you think about it.

If the mother is not strong, how can the child be well, this foot binding really has to be carefully considered whether it should be abolished.

After Ouyang Lin finished saying this, and after contributing a few blessed sharing talismans, he left with Yu Yao, but the emperor also took her words to heart.

This is the real Mingjun, after leaving the Queen Mother, he found the imperial doctor, asked about this matter, and got a positive answer, he asked the prince to come over and told him about it.

After the prince heard this, he felt that it was a bad habit anyway, and it was good to abolish it, and the prince also died some children.

So, the next day in the court, the emperor mentioned this matter, and most of the courtiers were still confused, not knowing why the emperor suddenly mentioned this matter.

Some sour Confucians immediately jumped out to oppose it, they have always admired women's virtues, and they think that binding their feet is also a good way to restrict women, so they naturally oppose it, they say, women should be like this.

For these people, the emperor and the crown prince made them taste the punishment of foot binding, and they asked people to find the girl who had just bound their feet and was still in the adaptation period, and used the blessed sharing charm.

Immediately, they tasted the pain like dancing on the tip of a knife, every step was like walking on a mountain of knives, and the pain was really unbearable.

The others looked at their appearance, and suddenly they all admired those women, such pain, men can't bear it, how did they endure it.

Some of them thought of their mothers, wives and daughters, and they originally thought that since foot binding was an established custom, they should abide by it, but now, they began to wonder if such a bad custom was really necessary.

Although the vast majority of men restrict the status of women, suppress them, and trap them in the back house, the custom of foot binding, which has nothing to do with their position of power, is not within the scope of their suppression.

And there was the filial one, thinking that his mother had also suffered this kind of suffering when she was a child, and immediately knelt down and begged the emperor to abolish the foot binding.

As long as it doesn't hurt them much, the man himself doesn't mind being a pity, so abolishing foot binding is actually not as difficult as Ouyang Lin imagined.

In particular, the emperor also put a bomb on them, and when they saw the ugly appearance after their feet were wrapped, they immediately lost all their sense of beauty, how could this ugliness be beautiful?

In feudal society, men's preferences are the trend of society, such as the beauty of fat in the Tang Dynasty, the beauty of black teeth in the Heiankyo period of Japan, such as small feet.

And once the men themselves don't like it, women will also change their aesthetics and ideas, which is the sadness of feudal society.

The emperor understood that the woman's body bones had not grown up before the age of 18, and that pregnancy and childbirth were not only easy to cause two lives, but most of the children born were also frail, so he decided to adjust the age of the woman's marriage.

Of course, there are also objections to this, so the emperor took people to test the pain of childbirth, found a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, used a talisman, and looked at the sour Confucianism who had no image and rolled in pain, and the courtiers once again had respect for the woman.

Is it so painful to give birth?
