Soon, the edict was issued.

Nowadays, there are not many literate people, and the edict is passed down layer by layer, not posted. In addition to the literacy rate, there is also the lack of paper, which cannot be posted. Bai Ji handed over the news to Xi, and then Xi ordered someone to pass it on to the township chief, and the township chief to the pavilion chief...... In the end, the lieutenant chief was in charge of the ten families and informed them of the news.

From now on, a woman will marry at seventeen and have children at eighteen. If it is a violator, it will be punished. Now leather armor is worth a lot of money, and it is normal for a perfect armor to be worth a few hundred dollars. Such a punishment is enough to deter many leaders. In addition, if the Jingyang woman goes like this, or postpones it a little later, she can still get a hundred yuan.

However, there are drawbacks. Raising children is not easy, and it has been a problem since ancient times. The man said that after all, there are many things that need to be done, such as being more pawned. Women are different, they can only grow mulberry and hemp at home. There is also a point more important, as the saying goes, it is the water spilled by the married daughter, and this concept is even more so in these years.

If you marry early at the age of fifteen, the burden on the family will be smaller. Raising to the age of seventeen or eighteen is also stressful for Qianshou. In fact, Jingyang is better, because there are many jobs in Jingyang, and women can also help, but it is difficult for other counties.

Bai Ji also specially asked Zhuo Shu to recalculate, which is actually a very simple arithmetic problem. Nearly sixty percent of those who give birth at a young age die young. And to eighteen, it is about thirty percent. These data are all based on Jingyang, and cannot be counted as the average level of the Qin State. Even so, it also made Xu Fu and others realize.

The death of a child is also damaging to the woman and affects her health. In short, it is always good to raise the age a little. Bai Ji asked Xu Fu to use the data of Zhuoshu's statistics as the basis, and then write a strategy, which was sent to Xianyang when the time came, and then handed over to Qin Shi Huang.

The finch was wrapped in a thick coat, as if it had eaten honey, and it was happy. After the edict was issued, some people were happy and some were worried, and the happiest one was the finch. I won't mention his age, which is definitely in line with the law of Qin Guochengding. As for Meng Cao, not to mention, she was already married two years ago, and she is just seventeen this year. When they get married in the spring of the next year, they can still get congratulatory money from Bai Ji.

That's a hundred dollars, which is already worth a month's salary.

The finch is very energetic now, and has to go to training every day. Now that he has been transferred to Bai Ji's personal guard, his martial arts physique naturally has to keep up. And Shang Niu is responsible for training, including finches and other soldiers have to accept it.

They take care of the food every day and are paid every month. In fact, according to Chun Yuyue, there is no need to give it at all, as Bai Ji's personal guard, this is their glory. Even if you don't give money, a lot of people want to get in. Bai Ji, as a national teacher, is still the title of Immortal Monarch, and not everyone is qualified to be his personal guard.

Bai Ji is still a little far from the Qin nobles of the Wang family, similar to the Wang family's personal guards, which are all side branches of the Wang family. Cultivated since childhood, knowing the roots, there is no doubt that he is not loyal enough.

In fact, he doesn't need personal guards at all, and it's hard to say who will protect anyone on the battlefield. It's just that according to Chun Yuyue, Bai Ji's status is here, if he goes out without a personal guard, what does it look like? Although their foundation is a little worse, they can barely make a living if they cultivate well, anyway, Bai Ji doesn't dislike them.

……

……

These days have nothing to do, and Bai Ji is planting medicinal herbs in addition to cultivation. Similar to ginseng, these drugs are indeed much more effective, but those who are weak and weak still can't eat too much. If you take too many supplements, you will have nosebleeds. His strength has also been successfully upgraded to the thirty-ninth floor, and he is only one step to the fortyth floor before the last floor.

At that time, he will be able to set foot on the foundation!

Hu Hai walked to the back of Bai Ji on tiptoe and bowed, "Sir." ”

"What's the matter?"

"They're fighting again."

Bai Ji was a little puzzled, "Who?" ”

"Qin Shou them and Shi Zhouqin."

Zhou Shi and Zhou Qin are Meng Cao's two younger brothers, and they are studying in the house these days. Their talent is barely okay, mainly because they are very diligent, and they are deeply loved by Shangshan Sihao. In addition to studying every day, I will also do a part-time job. I don't make a lot of money, but I can cover my personal expenses.

"What are they fighting?"

This ticket monkey cub is really ruthless!

Under the joint management of Wang Jian and Wang Ben, it has indeed stopped a lot. It's just that occasionally they fight. They are already young, and they play for real when they fight. There's no malice, it's just a joke. They belong to the type who do not get beaten for a day and have itchy skin all over their bodies.

It's just that this time he will fight with the two stone brothers?

"Sir knows ...... at a glance"

"Then go check it out."

On the way, Hu Hai also talked about it, and the cause of the incident was actually very ridiculous. Because the weather has begun to warm up now, the ice on the creek has melted a little, so Zhou Shi and Zhou Qin took advantage of their free time to go fishing. They are just the heads, and all the money they earn is saved for later use.

Meng Cao is about to get married, and the dowry has to be prepared. If you don't give a dowry when you marry a daughter this year, you will be scolded by countless people poking your back. The dowry is the capital of the daughter in her husband's family, and without the dowry, she can't even straighten her waist. The law of Qin also protected the woman's dowry, which was handled by the woman herself.

The two of them have always done their duty, and they will not cause trouble. The problem was on Qin Shou's side, a few little children deliberately peed in the upper reaches of the ditch. Zhou Shi's personality was extremely upright, so he couldn't stop it at that time, but they didn't care about it. You came and went, and they scuffled on the spot.

In the final analysis, it lies in their superiority and superiority. They didn't take Zhou Shi and Zhou Qin seriously at all, because they were the queens of the nobles, and Shi was just a Qianshou with no surname and no name. But the two Shi brothers also learned some skills from Huang Tianqiong, and the two sides fought back and forth. There were more than a dozen people on Qin Shou's side, and they didn't take advantage of anything.

Bai Ji sighed softly, he had actually expected such a day. Even if Wang Jian is in charge, he can't change the views of Li Chun, Qin Shou and others. This sense of superiority cannot be so easily eliminated. After the Xianyuan Academy Palace has a Qianshou and a nobleman, there will be such a day after all. The two are of different classes, and there will inevitably be quarrels, and it is good to come early now.

When they came to the river, Wang Jian and Wang Ben had already arrived. I saw Wang Jian blushing and cursing angrily: "You are so incompetent? More than ten people, but not the opponent of the two? Is there shame?! ”

Zhou Shi and Zhou Qin also had blue noses and swollen faces, and there was a lot of mud on their bodies. On the contrary, Qin Shou and the others were even more miserable, and some of them collapsed in the mud and wailed. It's not that they are not as good as others, it's purely that these two brothers don't want to die......
