Chapter 212: Night Market
After listening to this, Cheng Ting said: "On the way back that day, I was thinking about what they should do with only a hundred or so pills. I think the end result of them is to reward those who have done merit. Although this result is a little different from what I thought, this result is undoubtedly the best. "
Now is the time when the Shark Spirit Imperial Clan needs to contribute, and the men in the clan will have to go to sea to contact outsiders at that time. In the process, injuries are also expected. Wu Zhizai did not object to this result.
"Haha, Cheng Ting, you think the same as I think, if Lan Ke is returned to those family members who died in battle, how should he distribute it? This result is beyond my scope, but it is undoubtedly the best result. I always thought that those blood-colored pearls were sold by Ji Heizang, but I didn't expect that there were many blood-colored pearls that the Shark Spirit Imperial Family didn't want to destroy because they didn't want to leave them to the enemy. It's good to protect the last 'drop of blood' of your companions. "
Wu Zhi made a holy decree and asked Lan Ke to lead his people to mine ore.
Wu Zhizai had heard Lan Ruo say that people in the clan would occasionally pick up colored stones from somewhere. These stones were useless to the Shark Spirit Imperial Clan at that time, but now for the Shark Spirit Imperial Family, they are life-saving capital.
And the women of the Shark Spirit royal family, like everyone else, are farming while carrying children. Winter is just around the corner, make sure you have enough food for the winter.
Today, Goh's palace is located on a bustling street that was formerly home to pirates and their families. Ji Heizang was originally a bandit, so he naturally wanted to build his mansion here to facilitate fun with his subordinates. If there is danger, it is closer to the sea, making it easy to escape.
Wu Zhizai wanted to reassure the people, so he decided to rebuild a palace. The site of the palace is located right in the middle of the island.
Located in the center, it can reassure the people, and the people will also move to the island, and they will be truly loyal to the country of Bilai, and advance and retreat with the country of Bilai.
The construction of a new palace is on the agenda, but it will certainly not be possible to build a huge palace in a few years.
Wu Zhizai didn't like the palace, he felt that the palace was too depressing. He had once entered the Qiyang Palace, and he didn't like that feeling very much.
The high walls give people a sense of incomparable majesty. He knew that this was a demonstration of the nobility of imperial power, which made people look up.
Wu Zhizai didn't want to build such a huge palace. For him, the palace was a place to work and live. So it doesn't need to be that big.
Cheng Ting's opinion is that even if it does not have the majesty of the palace, or it is depressing. But the palace of the king of a country must have a solemn feeling and occupy a wide area.
In this regard, Conforming Kang and Su Xiaowen agreed.
Shun Kang believes that he will marry many concubines and princesses to become an emperor in the future, so the area of the palace must be large.
In this regard, Wu Zhizai promulgated a law that a man can only marry one wife in his life, and cannot take concubines. If you take a concubine, it is a crime of bigamy.
Wu Zhizai knew that bigamy was a crime, but he didn't understand how to punish it. But anyone who sins will go to prison. Therefore, Wu Zhizai's method of convicting the crime of bigamy is to go to prison, and as for the second marriage, it is naturally invalid.
Cheng Ting frowned and said: "Hao Jichen, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, why don't you let people take concubines, isn't this contrary to common sense?"
Wu Zhizai asked rhetorically: "Men can accept concubines, so isn't it true that women can also accept men?"
"That's naturally not good, men have taken concubines since ancient times, how can it be reasonable for women to accept men?"
Wu Zhizai said with a smile: "In Bilai Kingdom, it has to be changed." A man can have three wives and four concubines, which is too unfair for a woman. In the country of Bellai, both men and women live equally. Men can work to support their families, and so can women. "
Cheng Tingzhi couldn't say anything about Wu Zhizai, so he didn't say it anymore.
Shun Kang asked, "Then what if those men who have already taken concubines?"
Wu Zhizai said: "In the past, Ji Pingzang wanted every pirate to have a woman, and the women were all distributed, so how could they still let others take concubines? As for the Shark Ling royal family, there are few people, and there are no three wives and four concubines. So on the island of Bilai, there are no three wives and four concubines. As for those who come to live on Bilai Island with their families in the future, those who have concubines are not allowed to enter the Bilai Kingdom. "
Shun Kang was shocked, he was not sure if there was anyone in the country who took concubines, Wu Zhizai was sure that there was not. It seems that Wu Zhizai has secretly investigated.
"Yes, I see. Shun Kang said respectfully.
Wu Zhizai asked Lan Ruo, "Sister Lan Ruo, what do you think of my decision?"
Lan Ruo said: "Three wives and four concubines, that's a man's desire." And women, no matter what women are, I don't think they want to share a husband with her. So Xiao Zai's decision, I agree with both hands. "
"Have you all heard it? Three wives and four concubines, that's a kind of vulgarity. Vulgarity is not allowed to exist in my kingdom of Bilai. "
Each person can only marry one wife, and if they don't want to live with each other anymore, then they can also get along. Everyone thinks that this kind of thinking is really counterintuitive, but Wu Zhizai is the emperor, and everything can only follow his orders.
Since the future emperor could only marry one wife, the area of the palace could not be too large. The final area was 10 acres.
Before the construction of the new palace, Wu Zhizai still lived in the same place.
In winter, it is the third month of thunder and lightning on the Isle of Skye, and before the merchant ships of the Isle of Skye set off, they will bring a lot of goods from the Isle of Skye to sell in advance, so they will sell things on the Isle of Skye this winter. After the things were sold, they spent the winter on the Isle of Skye.
These things are quilts and cotton clothes and the like, and they sell very well on the island of Bilai.
Conforming Kang thought that there should be a curfew at night and sent people to patrol to prevent people from other islands from taking advantage of the opportunity to rush in.
Wu Zhizai believes that as long as the various passes in the city are guarded, and then arrange for the bird spirits to patrol the high places. That way, no one wants to get involved.
Su Xiaowen and the others didn't understand why Wu Zhizai was so risky and let the people move at night.
Wu Zhizai said: "One person a day, four hours of sleep is enough." Six hours during the day and six hours at night. Wouldn't it be nice to have six hours at night, four hours to go out to bed, and two hours to go out to bed, and what are you going to do with them in the house? Why don't you let them out and have fun, so that you can increase your taxes and increase your work, and you can get the best of both worlds. "
Cheng Ting said: "You don't let you open the Qinglou, what else do men have to play when they come out at night?"
Wu Zhizai scolded with a smile, "What are you thinking about in your head? Do men have to go to the Qinglou when they come out? Also, do you know how many innocent women will be abducted and trafficked to be concubines if the Qinglou here is legal? And how many men are nostalgic for the land of the Qinglou and unwilling to go home, leaving their wives without husbands and children without fathers. Therefore, the green building must not be opened. Without Qinglou, they can go to the restaurant to eat and drink with friends, go out shopping with their families, or watch the night with their lovers. "
Cheng Ting said lightly: "As you said, if you agree that Qinglou is legal, then you can have more taxes and more jobs, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"No, no, no, it's not the best of both worlds, it's a legacy for 10,000 years. The woman doesn't want to be a girl, so most of the girls in the Qinglou are trafficked. Of course, there will be some who want to make a living as a concubine, but this is a very small minority. Therefore, no matter what you say, I will not allow the existence of Qinglou. "
Lan Ruo said in a loud voice: "I agree with Xiao Zai's approach, in Bilai Country, Qinglou must not exist." "
Su Xiaowen said with a smile: "Xiao Zai, in this world, for the sake of women like you, I'm afraid that you are the first person." "
Wu Zhizai said with a smile: "I told you a long time ago that I have been to a place where everyone is equal and is a wonderful world, and I like it very much." So in Bilai, I want to recreate that wonderful world. "
Su Xiaowen didn't believe that Wu Zhizai had been to such a place, although he followed Wu Zhizai after Wu Zhizai was ten years old, but Wu Zhizai knew everything before he was ten years old. Wu Zhizai has definitely never been to that kind of place. But why Wu Zhizai had such an idea, he couldn't figure it out.
There is no curfew, and people come out at night. On the positive side, there are no green houses, and men have other forms of entertainment. Like drinking, like with your family.
Seeing this result, Cheng Ting glanced at Wu Zhizai very unconvinced.
