For the slaves who are sold into large families, if they violate the family law and are killed by the master, this is simply an ordinary thing that can no longer be ordinary, don't look at the time when Zhu Yuanzhang set up the "Hongwu Edict", but China still recognizes slavery after all, even if those wealthy small servants and maids are infinitely beautiful in the eyes of outsiders, but their identity is the private property of the master, and the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that private property is "sacred and inviolable". However, if a person or a family is powerless, then the inviolability rule can also find a workaround...... Jiang Tian obviously does not belong to the scope of powerlessness, and it can even be said that no one has been able to punish him except the emperor so far, but Jiang Tian's handling of this adultery case shocked the people of Sijiu City, because it was very simple to make a private agreement for life and hook up with adultery was characterized by Jiang Tian as - free love!

This word is not his originality, and it does exist in some of the emperor's quotations, but those who are familiar with the inside story know that in order to gain the support of the traditional society, the great emperor who dared to fight the heavens and the earth was only talking, and did not forcibly promote this new concept, and from the purpose of maintaining social stability and quickly restoring the population, arranged marriage has an irreplaceable advantage, and this custom gradually evolved in China actually has a very practical significance. It's just that there are more violations of women's @ rights. Looking at this trivial matter of Jiang Mansion, in fact, no one will be dissatisfied with Jiang Tian's approach, don't forget to deal with how people's own maidservants love to deal with it in principle, what really attracts everyone's attention is actually another reason.

Time pulled back to the scene at that time, Jiang Tian sat on the chair with a big grin, surrounded by people in the mansion and all of them bowed their heads, the atmosphere was a little heavy, the accusation of adultery was a relatively strict matter for both the people and the nobility, even if there was still a saying of filth in the palace, especially in some large families of scholars, this was even more of a fatal crime. Everyone was afraid that Lord Jiang would pass this matter to establish his authority.

"I said from the beginning that you are all free, and I am just the employer who hires you, so if these two people are not married, at most they are unmarried and pregnant, and they cannot be considered adultery."

As soon as Jiang Tian said this, everyone raised their heads in surprise and exchanged their heads, and the pair of mandarin ducks standing in front of Jiang Tian were even more surprised, just now they should have knelt on the ground to confess, but Jiang Tian had already waived this etiquette, and also used the woman's pregnancy as an excuse to let the girl sit aside and answer, but she never dared and refused to sit down, so she accompanied her man to stand aside. Now I can hear the overtone of these words, that is, Lord Jiang doesn't seem to be pursuing this matter. In fact, the people in the mansion did not forget that their identity was hired laborers, but they couldn't believe that Jiang Tian would really fulfill his promise, and those who left were also afraid that Jiang Tian would turn them into slaves in the future, so they refused to continue working in Jiang Mansion, and the rest of these people were people who had nowhere to go or could not live independently, for them, they might starve to death if they left, and it was a big deal to stay or a cheap @ people, and it didn't matter where they went under the pressure of survival.

Jiang Tian had heard about this mentality from Xinyue, but there was no need to explain it all the time, so he didn't care about it, until after this incident, Jiang Tian decided to take this opportunity to promote his thoughts: "Let me ask you, but there are still elders alive?" ”

The two of them shook their heads, and Jiang Tian asked again: "Then you two teach each other privately, but you are sincere?" ”

The adulterer hurriedly said: "Master, I really like Yuzhu and want to marry her." ”

"Hmm......" Jiang Tian nodded, then turned his head to look at the girl: "You are committed to him out of your own volition?" ”

The girl was asked such a question in front of so many people, and although she looked embarrassed, she nodded slightly. Jiang Tian smiled and said, "You are all voluntary, so why don't you get married?" Since your elders are gone, then I will be a matchmaker, are you willing? ”

There is nothing to be reluctant to, so the matter ended with the end of the family, but in terms of external publicity, Jiang Tian's rhetoric became that the existing law does not prevent the union of non-married men and women, but he is afraid that there will be no legal parents after the birth of the child in the future, so he will make up the due procedures for them and report it to the newly established Beijing @ Gong @ An @ Bureau, so that these two people have become a legal husband and wife in law. For a long time, for this point of people's @desire@hope, Chinese society has adopted the principle of saving heaven and destroying people's desires to deal with it, but the person in power may not be a saint, Zhu Xi can't control his lower body, so in fact, in law, he also turns a blind eye, even if this kind of thing happens to the government, the original old man can also match, unless one party is married and belongs to the category of extramarital affairs, otherwise the basic processing process is nothing more than that. But Jiang Tian's reason is very interesting, because he pointed out for the first time that the law of the new dynasty does not stipulate the crime of adultery between unmarried men and women, and not only that, but also publicly stated that he will not deny or advocate this kind of free love, which is a civil right and inviolable.

This means that a legal loophole that has been ignored by many people has been exposed in front of everyone, in fact, this is not a loophole, but when the new marriage law was formulated, Zhang Tao deliberately left a foreshadowing, the new marriage law in addition to stipulating that the parties to the marriage should go to the government for the record and receive the certificate, but also stipulate the rights and responsibilities of both parties, but these laws are vague and basically maintain the existing social habits, so they have not received people's attention, similar procedures in the Ming Dynasty are also zài, It's just that it was no longer thoroughly implemented later, and now it's just a change of soup and no change of medicine. Now people are clear that the existing law is different from the previous one, and under the excavation of well-intentioned people, they have also found many "loopholes" that they did not know before, such as the equality of husband and wife after marriage, the prohibition of domestic violence, the division of property, etc., all of which have been turned out.

In the past, only those litigants and legal experts knew and did not dare to publicize the things that were known to those who were publicized through various channels, and at this time, at the brief wedding presided over by Jiang Tian, as an introducer, he preached to the couple about the precautions after marriage: "You must know that in the law of the new dynasty, husband and wife are two equal people, and the husband has no right to decide the life and death of his wife and personal freedom, and it is illegal to beat and abuse the other half, and those who are strict can be investigated for civil or criminal liability." The property after marriage is the joint property of the parties, and if there is no justice to the property before the marriage, then it is automatically included in the scope of joint property, and in the case of divorce, the property is divided equally......"

If it weren't for Jiang Tian's high position and power, and he was still the owner of Jiang Mansion, it is estimated that anyone who said such an unlucky thing at the wedding would be beaten into a brain-dead, but the couple did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, this is not only afraid of Jiang Tian's monstrous power, but also because just two days ago Jiang Tian announced a new work management regulations, in short, the female employees in the house will not be dismissed because they are pregnant, and they will also receive three months of paid maternity leave after giving birth. Male workers can also enjoy paid paternity leave for half a month with the birth certificate issued by the government, and both men and women who are not able to raise children can pay a small amount of money in the government, and there is a special person responsible for managing children aged 0 to three. In the face of these preferential terms that are almost entirely set up for these two couples, which careless person would be dissatisfied with this kind of boss?

"This is not my deliberate kindness, but the direction of the times." On the three-foot podium, a simple political lesson was turned into a law popularization class by curious students: "Now it is true that the law does not stipulate that employers are obliged to bear the burden of childcare for employees, but everyone thinks that in the future, our country will inevitably compete for hegemony, so the population and number are the necessary conditions for achieving hegemony, but at present, because of the repeated wars and so that the young and strong withered, the restoration of the population is the top priority, so to solve the worries of parents with children, not only can ensure the mortality rate of newborns, At the same time, there is also a certain chance of obtaining excellent next-generation talents, which is the key to ensuring the long-term stability and prosperity of our dynasty, that is, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States still know how to cherish the people's power to recuperate, and how can King Goujian of Yue take revenge if he does not try his best to restore the population? ”

These young people nodded frequently, they are no longer those Taoist nerds who only know what to do, they know how big this earth is, and they also know that although those nomads in the north are temporarily dormant, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not make a comeback one day, so they can only agree with this kind of ambition to give preferential treatment to their own people to dominate the world. The Han and Tang dynasties seem to be awakening to the national genes that have the courage to expand, and compared with the huge world in the world, China's population base that has always been proud of it is insignificant, which is why this dynasty wantonly introduced Japanese and Korean immigrants to the border, after all, culturally speaking, they are still a little bit of a border with the Chinese, diligence and IQ belong to the category of excellent immigrants, and the most important thing is that the relationship between the culture of the ethnic group and the culture of the Central Plains is very close, and it will not cause too strong an impact on the society. But no matter how good they are, they are also foreigners, not to mention that Chinese nationality is not easy to obtain, even if it takes two or three generations to be completely assimilated by the Han people, it will take a hundred years, and in this hundred years, the Han people can cultivate at least four generations of excellent population, and in terms of efficiency and safety, it is more advantageous to encourage childbirth in the medium and long term.

In addition to lamenting that Lord Jiang is kind and lenient to his subordinates, the most concerned is the judicial interpretation of Jiang Tian's version of the new "Marriage Law", in the teahouse opposite the Jiang Mansion, it has become a rare place for civil political discussion in the whole capital or the whole of China, and the men of the whole country are all gritting their teeth with hatred for this new interpretation, and whether it is an old man or a young man, or a master in the temple or a pawn of a peddler, it is rare to oppose this interpretation with a high degree of uniformity across the country. As for their wives and daughters, although they rejoiced, they did not have any consciousness of turning over and being the masters. If a new thing wants to be accepted by the public, it takes time to accumulate.

"Your mouth is too fast, I originally wanted to gradually implement more detailed laws in a few years, so that you can stir up like this, and many things will have to be advanced." After the Long Shu case, Zhang Tao didn't look angry at all, but gloated a little: "It's okay now, you have become the public enemy of men in the country!" ”

"No......" Jiang Tian took out a pile of bound papers from his bookbag with a hippie smile: "If I don't let them take concubines, it will really arouse public anger." Besides, it won't be long before you will send troops to sweep the north, and there must be an explanation for the affairs of this family. ”

"You, what you say is better than what you sing." Zhang Tao got up and pulled out some books from the bookshelf behind him: "Here are some scripts I copied, I wanted to take them out later, and it will be cheaper for you now." ”

Jiang Tian put down the work result book in his hand and looked at it, and found that there were three big characters "Liu Qiaoer" written on the cover of the first book! Jiang Tian, who was holding the book, scratched his head and looked at Zhang Tao a little: "This kind of masterpiece is still under your old name, anyway, "Dream of Red Mansions" is available, so I won't join in the fun." ”

Jiang Tian's concerns are very realistic, if "Dream of Red Mansions" implies the content of indictment of society, which is not the main theme, then these masterpieces of New China are the absolute main theme and cannot be questioned. And historically, they have indeed played an important role in influencing social mores. And although Jiang Tian is now the vanguard of the reformers, he definitely doesn't want to get involved in the profession of a writer, because with his Chinese culture skills, he really can't afford to lose that person.

Zhang Tao knew that his fellow had understood the role of these scripts, but he still had to nag more: "It's so easy for you to be our older generation of revolutionaries to transform society, New China is built on the basis of being influenced by Western culture, and it has stumbled, and a lot of historical dross is still struggling tenaciously, in the final analysis, this is not a struggle against a certain system, but a struggle against male privilege that has been inherited for thousands of years, from this point of view, I really admire the courage and discipline of those old people, They are truly practicing the great goal of the emancipation of all mankind. ”

Jiang Tian got goosebumps when he heard this, although he knew that there was nothing false or exaggerated in these statements, but because he had heard too many similar slogans, he instinctively resisted: "It's useless for you to praise them now, these people haven't been born in this era, and now it's not impossible to use similar means to drive the social atmosphere and popularize the law, but how did you change this script?" There won't be anything out of place, right? ”

"Do you need to be reminded of this? But since you are willing to be a target yourself, then these things will be left to you to disseminate, and since you want to do your best, I ask that after the battle in the north is over, the whole country must basically understand the essence of the new law. As for law enforcement, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Let the whole people know that the legal provisions are not simple, the best way is to popularize the law through some vivid cases, this method is almost a standard model in the legal programs of later generations, but this is not the original of later generations, the first to do this is actually the small peasant Zhu Yuanzhang who is strict in thinking, but it is precisely because he comes from the peasants, so he has a deep understanding of the mentality of the bottom of the society, so he pioneered this method of popularizing the law in the form of case stories. As for Jiang Tian, although he was born in New China and grew up under the red flag, and the work "Liu Qiaoer" is only known for his name, he is familiar with the various policies of New China, and there are many historical summaries of both successful and unsuccessful ones, so they didn't take this arduous task too seriously, but none of them expected that a storm that had been brewing for a long time was coming. Putting down the historical task of how to popularize the idea of equality between men and women, the two monarchs and ministers began to study the various materials brought by Jiang Tian.

"If you want me to say that your expeditionary force is armed to the teeth, and equipping such an army is enough to feed three or four times the old-style army, not counting the casualty compensation standards and various preferential treatment for demobilization, so you are not afraid that other armies will not agree?"

"Who of them dares?" Zhang Tao glared confidently: "If you want to get this kind of treatment, you must first meet the standards of the new army, and those who go abroad to fight in the future will be the highest welfare. ”

"But isn't our old tradition hard and simple, and mingle with the masses?"

"It's hard and simple, because that's military discipline. Mingling with the masses does not mean that the quality of life is lower than that of the masses, and besides, these expeditionary forces are going abroad to fight for the interests of the people, so why not take more hard-earned money! Zhang Tao, as a soldier of the republic, has the most right to speak on this issue, and in the 80s and 90s, there was indeed a trend of looking down on soldiers, which was very different from the treatment of high-paid soldiers in the 21st century.

Jiang Tian said in this matter, there is no need to be serious with Zhang Tao, and there is no contradiction between streamlining the administration of the army and expanding the territory, whoever rebels because of the different treatment is also self-defeating, so it is enough for the emperor to worry about the affairs of the army, what he wants to say is actually related to the reform of the army, but it is not too related: "At present, although the process of industrial production of acid and alkali has been basically determined, it is not only inefficient but also pollutes the environment, so now I have not found a suitable site. Besides, the danger of this thing is no worse than white phosphorus, and the problem of workers is not easy to solve. Then there is the news from the merchants, it seems that the Zheng family's fleet has left the port! ”

Zhang Tao naturally got this kind of military intelligence report faster than Jiang Tian, but he also knew the importance of secrecy, so unless the military intelligence was no longer a secret, there was no need for the Ministry of Defense to notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to respond, and now that Jiang Tian knew that the Zheng family had started to act, then of course the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to make a due response, whether it was to prevent the other party from harassing the coast, or to condemn the other party for attacking the subject country, even if you were putting on a show, you had to show something, and this qiē depended on what the country's strategy was.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, His Majesty the Emperor said: "Go back and let the coastal garrisons be on guard and put on a show, since the Japanese have withdrawn from the Ryukyus, then the national strength of that small country will not be able to stop the Zheng family, and when they occupy the entire archipelago, you will issue a protest in the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so that our side is reasonable, advantageous and modest, and you don't have to worry about the result!" ”
