Chapter 89: Men and Women
The disparity between men and women is too large to be a headache in any era, and the consequences are the most serious when there are more men than women. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Among the 37,871 people in the Han Department, there are only 8,791 women, of which 2,178 are married women, and the rest are actually of marriageable age.
According to the advice of Ji Chang and others, Liu Yan matched those women officially, that is, Liu Yan chose which woman should marry whom.
That's right, official matching, in fact, this is also a norm in today's years, and the government is the matchmaker, and it is a law that has existed since the Western Han Dynasty to let women of appropriate age marry. That's because Emperor Wu (Liu Che) fought a bloody war with the Xiongnu, and the loss of the country's youth was too great, and in order to ensure the continuation of the race, the law appeared.
But...... Didn't Huaxia Zhengshuo already cross south to the south of the Yangtze River and die drunk? The North and the Central Plains did not speak of any laws at all, and some old customs and habits became fragmented. The government is responsible for the marriage of women of appropriate age, except for a few powerful and powerful families who are still going on, and the rest have no such thing at all.
Liu Yan almost agreed to Ji Chang for a while, but something happened during the period, that is, Tian Shuo matched a couple, and I don't know what happened that the newly married woman committed suicide, and she couldn't find out why. In a few cases, many newlyweds find that their wives are not perfect, and they will beat and scold them at every turn, and as a result, there have been many cases of women committing suicide or asking for divorce.
"Well, the virgin complex! But in the pre-Qin period, Huaxia did not pay attention to the virgin plot, and when it came to the Han Dynasty, it did not pay attention to the virgin plot, but talked about the woman's loyalty to her husband and women's morality after marriage. Liu Yan didn't have a too special expression on his face: "Now is a special era, the Qin and Han people don't care about things, and the Jin people care very much." ”
Ji Chang came to Liu Yan again, wanting to make another suggestion. He just didn't understand one thing, how could Liu Yan, who was very good at talking about other things, seem to be a little ...... in this kind of thing How so? Is it mother-in-law?
In all fairness, why didn't the pre-Qin and the Han Dynasty talk about the virgin plot, it was a kind of social atmosphere, after all, the first emperor who unified the world, that is, Yingzheng's mother Zhao Ji was not married to his father Qin Zhuang Xiangwang Yingchu (alien); The mother of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Che, who was one of the concubines of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Liu Qi, was not perfect, she was married to a woman and married Emperor Jing Liu Qi.
The emperors are like that, and what is the kind of people who are on par with the royal family in everything, you can know it if you think about it a little.
"Both the Qin and Han dynasties had strong periods, and they at least had an almost overwhelming advantage over the Hu people. In the Qin and Han dynasties, men cared about their wives' femininity and loyalty, but they were able to accept their wives' past. Liu Yan finally had an expression on his face, and he said with a mocking face: "Why are you so sensitive when you come to the Jin people?" The answer is only that the Jin people are weak, they become super self-esteem and fragile, and they begin to look at the membrane of women, as if the only thing they can be comforted in the end is the membrane of women. ”
Ji Chang was stung, he knew that what Liu Yan said was right, there were really not many things that the Jin people could protect.
"I don't care what the attitude is towards that membrane." Liu Yan shook his head: "But whether it is a man or a woman, they are all under my rule." I really don't like to hear anyone again, because my wife didn't have that membrane on the wedding night, which caused some disputes. ”
Liu Yan actually cares about that membrane. In fact, as long as it's a man, it's impossible not to care, but it has to be timed, isn't it? Jin men can't blame those captured women for being raped because of their incompetence, they have to think about why they can't protect women from being ****, not after learning that their wives don't have that membrane and become manic. Okay, manic kills Hu Go, beats and scolds his wife at every turn, is it a man?
"Remember, we are Han Chinese. It is the Han who 'the country is always destroyed by weakness, and only the Han is destroyed by the strong', the Han people! Liu Yan paused for a moment and asked, "What else is going on?" ”
"Your Majesty, there is another group of heroes and strong." Ji Chang sighed, and he didn't plan to say anything more about the 'distribution' of women. He gathered his thoughts a little, and then said, "According to the king's orders, they will walk around first, and then they will be taken over there." ”
The so-called "over there" refers to the place where the Han Dynasty traded with many families, a newly built but temporary walled city. Those Hu people or Jin families brought all kinds of goods needed by the Han people, mainly in slaves, and exchanged them for weapons or salt.
Li Tan has now entered a walled city that is almost entirely made of wood, but he has been thinking about one thing in his mind, whether Ah Xiang was captured by the Han or rescued by the Han Ministry. There is another thing, since Ah Xiang is alive, then the distant cousin doesn't know if he is still alive.
"Shaolang-kun?" Li Zhong had to speak up, and the others were all beckoned over, leaving only their Li family and his party to stay in place was too conspicuous: "Shaolangjun!" ”
"Huh?" Li Tan finally came back to his senses, and while he raised his eyes and looked around, he asked, "Uncle Zhong?" ”
The walled city is still quite large, and it sounds noisy, that's because there are really more people, and it looks quite guarded, but Li Tan is a little puzzled about what is going on with those who look thin or should I say skinny?
"We were arranged to come here and say we were going to entertain lunch." Li Zhong said with emotion: "The Han Department is also a ......" paused, and I don't know what words were swallowed back: "But some eat, and they are in the Han Department, and they just listen to the arrangement." ”
At this time, the team that had been leading the convoy into the city had been led by several knights into the walled city.
Li Tan will pay attention, that's because he saw Li Kuang!
The knight entered the walled city and dismounted, and met some of them who looked like little servants or something...... In short, it was the people who did the work of serving, and they untied something for the knights, and then got something that Li Tan couldn't understand, and a brigade of soldiers from the camp appeared and surrounded the carriages.
The shed of the carriage was opened, and people could be seen sitting or lying on it, and the hands of the Han Department were shouting loudly, sounding like they were explaining loudly what the people in the carriage should do.
Li Tan was already walking towards Li Kuang quickly, he was stopped before he could get close, and when he wanted to say hello to Li Kuang, he saw Li Kuang's attitude extremely respectful to a tall and burly man...... It seems that there is still a very dignified person to report something.
"Your Majesty!" Li Kuang must be respectful in the face of Liu Yan: "This time, eighty-seven women were redeemed. Except for the nine who died on the way, the rest have been brought back. ”
Yes, Liu Yan personally arrived at the scene. He didn't come here on purpose, he just didn't have anything to do for the time being, he came after strolling, and heard that Li Kuang personally brought back some ransom women, and came to take a look.
The women on the carriage were too thin, and most of them were naked~naked, and they looked a little dirty. They looked around with frightened eyes, as if they were about to scream at the slightest disturbance.
"Vegetable people, all of them are vegetable people." Li Kuang's lips trembled as he spoke: "The subordinates took matters into their own hands and bought twelve women whose legs were cut off......"
"Vegetable man?" Liu Yan turned his gaze to look at the women who were shocked like rabbits, and said, "As long as they can create value, do they have legs...... It doesn't matter. ”
Recently, the Han Department has been buying women as much as possible, whether it is a Jin or a Hu person, as long as they are of the right age to give birth. Liu Yan has always believed that a sentence is very reasonable, the strength of the nation depends on women, and the continuation of a nation also depends on women.
"We're going to need more women!" Liu Yan really intends to take this matter as a top priority: "Get things done and rest for a few days, but don't stimulate Ah Xiang for the time being." ”
As the leader to manage the family history of his subordinates, Liu Yan really moved Li Kuang to tears.
Li Kuang didn't know that Liu Yan purely regarded him and Ah Xiang as a typical example, after all, ...... These two people are estimated to be much more miserable than most people, if they can get back together, not only Liu Yan will feel gratified, but also have enough reference for the future of the Han Department in this related aspect......
