Unlike Li Shimin and Sun Dali, the eldest grandson queen and Yu Xiuer, the whole thing is to play and sightseeing, go out and dance, and the eldest grandson queen and several concubines who have never been to Jiangnan in their lives are crazy by the lotus pond.

"No wonder Mrs. Anguo, you are willing to leave the position of Taile Ling and live a comfortable life in this small county, it turns out that the lake and spring here are even better than Chang'an." Under Yu Xiu'er's face-to-face teaching, the eldest grandson and the queen finally learned the dance of "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond", and after dancing a few times, Concubine Wei wiped the slight sweat on her face.

"Hehe, Concubine Wei, you don't know, this place is not just a good situation, the pregnancy is also true, before the red plum and spring peach and my husband came here, they were both pregnant, I came here with my husband last year, and I was pregnant in less than a month, and now, the belly of the red sleeves and the fragrant butterfly has also moved, and not only our family, the whole Jiuyuan County is everywhere, listen to Zhen Yizheng said, just this three months this year, the entire county has nearly 4,000 babies landing"

When Yu Xiu'er said this, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yang, Concubine Yan, including Empress Changsun, all began to be a little distracted, seeing that she stopped talking, several beautiful women were all red, and Yu Xiu'er, who was also a person who came over, knew that Li Shimin's task tonight would be very heavy.

"Ding Buwang, a member of the Sun family, just took advantage of this place to strengthen the clan, and in the future, he will definitely be able to become one of the top clans in my Tang Dynasty." Empress Eldest Sun knew Yu Xiu'er's thoughts, and followed the sentence.

"Hehe, this husband of my family! As soon as I got to those fields, I forgot about my wife and children, and I didn't see a letter back for more than two months, and what I was thinking about was those crops. ”

"Zhengming is the one who does great things! That's why you laugh when you mention him! ”

was teased by the eldest grandson queen, Yu Xiu'er also reacted, and said with a smile, "It's also ha, even singing and dancing is a good thing that can help the stability of the country and the physical and mental health of the people, and farming is naturally the same, husband He can always do what he likes, and he can also gain fame and fortune, no matter how good it is." ”

"Listen to you, he still wants to plant here forever! I think it won't be long before His Majesty will still use him, and only in the court can he play the greatest role. ”

"This, it's really not necessarily, the husband said before, there are princes in the court, and there will be no problems in the next ten years, but if there is no big change in the people, no matter how strong my Tang Dynasty is, it will be difficult to comprehensively surpass the Qin and Han dynasties and reach a new height, and if it can't reach such a new height, there will still be a change of dynasty, so the husband and the king in the opposition, the significance for the country may be greater."

Hearing this, the eldest grandson and queen and the daughters who knew a little about politics all entered deep thought, and it was the first time they heard that reform is not only a matter of the court, but also the people need to be reformed.

However, these things, they women can't talk about, and the parents are short, which is their main topic, no, the topic will soon inevitably talk about the marriage of their children.

"Qingque has grown a lot here, what does Zhengming think about his marriage with the little sister of the Sun family?"

"This, I'm afraid it won't work, not to mention that the laws of Jiuyuan County stipulate that young men and women must be eighteen years old before they can get married, and the younger sister still has five years to be old enough, and they themselves are not happy with each other, and the husband's attitude is not in agreement."

Yu Xiu'er has always obeyed the orders of Empress Changsun, and she herself thinks that marrying with the royal family is an honor and the only choice to stabilize the family status, but Sun Xiangfu has always been opposed to this matter, if it weren't for Sun Deshou's own willingness, he would not let his younger brother go to Princess Shang.

Therefore, after getting her such an answer, Empress Changsun suddenly looked embarrassed, but she did not give up, he had already learned from the news transmitted to Chang'an by the secret guards that Sun Xiaomei was a genius girl, and in arithmetic, she surpassed Sun Xiangfu a lot, and could even be compared with Li Chunfeng, in agriculture, she was also the leader of the new generation of disciples of the agricultural sect, such a daughter-in-law, she naturally did not allow her to slip away to another house, and said, "It seems that this palace will talk to Your Majesty in person to talk to Zhengming later." ”

Yu Xiu'er naturally didn't dare to tell Empress Changsun that Sun Xiangfu was ready to resist the decree early on, anyway, it was not the first time he had done this, but he cautiously persuaded, "Since we already know that the best age for marriage is after a woman reaches the age of eighteen, then it is still too early for them to succeed or not, why should Niangniang rush for a while!" ”

Empress Changsun thought about it, but since she talked about the age of marriage, she asked again, "This Jiuyuan County, really did not affect the population growth because of the postponement of the age of marriage and childbearing?" The people have no complaints about such regulations of the government? ”

Yu Xiu'er saw that Empress Changsun did not continue to pay attention to this matter, and immediately replied with a smile, "This is natural, didn't you say it before, our Jiuyuan County, in the first three months alone, more than 4,000 babies were born, which is the fastest growing county in the Tang Dynasty, which is actually due to the postponement of the age of marriage and childbearing, and the situation of dystocia stillbirth has been greatly reduced."

In fact, these things, as long as they are explained clearly to the people, let them know that the government is for their good, they will naturally understand and support, and the husband wants to break the bad habit of 'the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker', so that all young men and women can freely choose their beloved to marry, but it is still difficult, but the people have gradually begun to understand. ”

"Is 'the words of the matchmaker of the parents' a bad habit? How is this possible? ”

This time, not only the eldest grandson queen made a surprised sound, but even Concubine Wei, Concubine Yan, Concubine Yang and other women also covered their mouths in surprise.

After all, governing the country with filial piety is the Han tradition, the main ideology of Li Tang, or the Han culture, and the general ideology of the people is that everything about children belongs to their parents, and parents have the right to help their children be the masters of everything, and children cannot speak of their parents' faults, and if they do not obey their parents' orders, they are not filial.

Sun Xiangfu previously expressed his different opinions on this matter, not all parents can be role models for their children, drunkards, bad gambling, lazy and lazy, and lustful dogs and horses, there are many in any era, what they care about is not the happiness of their children, but their own pleasure.

However, at present, this kind of mainstream thinking is too deeply rooted in the people, even if Sun Xiangfu is now famous, he does not dare to touch it easily, and if he pushes it too quickly, it may cause big social problems.

Therefore, he can only use some euphemistic ways to imperceptibly influence everyone in a place like Jiuyuan County, where the people absolutely believe in him.

When they first arrived in Jiuyuan County last autumn, there was a pair of young people who loved each other upstream, but because their parents were opposed and could not get married, they were forced to jump into the river, and their bodies floated to the Jiuyuan River stall and were salvaged by the patrolmen.

After some investigation, Sun Xiangfu figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and deliberately put this story on a small song adapted from a similar story in later generations, which was widely sung in Jiuyuan County.

Such a small song can cause some reflection among people in this era, so Yu Xiuer plans to sing it to the eldest grandson and queen as well.

"Whether it is a bad habit, not necessarily absolute, can be judged by the people themselves, the reason why the husband has such an idea, is also because he encountered some things here last year, he made this matter into a small song, very popular with everyone, now, the marriage in Jiuyuan County, in fact, has paid more attention to the opinions of the married men and women themselves, at least, will let them meet one or two in advance, so that there will be no hijab before the bride and groom do not know each other, by the way, I will make the little song made by the husband, play and sing it to all the mothers, You'll find out when you hear it. ”

After that, Yu Xiu'er picked up the five-stringed pipa, red plum and spring peach brought with the boat, and also carried the tambourine on the boat to the lotus pavilion, and suddenly, various musical instruments were flapped and played.

"The peach leaf is sharp and sharp, and the willow leaf hides the sky"

Later generations came to "Exploring the Qingshui River" song, which is very popular on the Internet, and the story told is poignant and heartfelt, as a southerner, Sun Xiangfu also likes to listen to it, but the background and name of the characters are changed slightly, and the smoking is changed to clinging to the powerful, and the daughter is sent to the old man to be a concubine, the lyrics are changed, and the music and charm are still used in the original version.

This kind of performance form of arranging and singing with stories is very novel, the eldest grandson queen and several concubines just listened to the beginning, and they were attracted by the story of men and women falling in love and meeting each other in this song.

When Yu Xiu'er sang about a pair of lovers who both jumped into the Jiuyuan River and died in love, they began to unconsciously touch tears for this pair of young people who seemed to be somewhat deviant in this era.

When love conflicts with the so-called foolishness and filial piety, in their hearts, they will not hesitate to choose to favor love, and they also begin to reflect on how to redefine 'filial piety', this kind of status quo of listening to parents for everything is definitely wrong.

In Sun Xiangfu's view, this ideology involves more than just filial piety, only by removing this ideological shackle, the creativity of the next generation will be stronger.

Take the most common son inheritance of the father's business in this era, the father is a carpenter, and the son, almost ninety percent of the children are likely to be required to learn carpentry from their father from an early age, but in fact, this child, in mathematics, painting, or some other aspect, is very talented and interested.

But in the end, he had to obey his parents and become a carpenter, which might have deprived the rest of the industry of a genius who could move the industry forward, and this genius, because of their filial obedience to his parents, was reduced to a mediocre carpenter.

Song Xiaoyu of Yuezhou is a living example, his parents want him to farm, but he likes to build ships, learn shipbuilding technology, and is also very talented, later, he ran to Weinan, with the help of Song Tao, and Sun Xiangfu's recommendation, he went to Lantian Vocational and Technical College to study, and now, has been outstanding among the students in the same period.

If he just listens to his parents with filial piety and farms honestly at home, then Datang may lose a good shipbuilder and one more farmer in the future.

This kind of reform may be more difficult than the reform of the system in the court, but someone needs to do it slowly little by little, otherwise, it will at least affect the development of this nation for more than 1,000 years.
