Chapter 127: The Rich Women of the Bai Di Department

"The dozen or so inferior clans that are mainly responsible for the production of the Bai Di Department still have a certain prestige among the commoners, right, Fat Patriarch." Hearing Wang Xu's inquiry, Tu Tan threw the question to the trembling Fei Tong.

Suddenly, the fat man who was called by his name weakened his knees and knelt down heavily.

Wang Xu frowned slightly.

Qiu He saw Wang Xu's displeasure, so he hurriedly hugged Fei Tong and whispered a few words in his ear.

Fei Tong's face was bloodless because of panic, and after hearing Qiu He's whisper, his breathing eased, and he began to say something in a stumbling Yayan.

"Let him speak nonsense directly, and you can translate it for me." Wang Xu frowned and waved his hand.

After Wang Xu finished saying this, the four people present who were proficient in Eastern Huhua, Mo Kui, Tu Tan, Zhu Jia, and Qiu He, raised their heads at the same time, glanced at each other, and finally made a move that surprised Wang Xu.

The four of them translated and understood Fei Tong's words separately, and finally came up with a consensus translation to Wang Xu.

It even translates calibration.

Wang Xu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The four of them pushed and shoved politely for a while, and it was Tu Tan who reported, "The Fei clan said that the dozen or so inferior clans used to be the big clans of the Feizi Kingdom, and later after the four major clans of the Zhongshan Kingdom came, they divided their populations and became small clans. ”

"The Four Great Clans?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh, and the Zhai family, so they have long been dissatisfied with the Sang family?" ”

"Otherwise, Fei Tong wouldn't have taken Fei Shi to us." Tu Tan said with a smile.

"What about the patriarchs of these dozen or so inferior clans? Would you like to come over for dinner? Wang Xu pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked with a smile.

"Bai Di Wang Sang Yang went out on an expedition and took away all the patriarchs of these small clans." Tu Tan grinned and said, "This is the rule of Donghu, when a large army goes out, the small leaders with heads and faces in the country must go out with the army to prevent the tribe from rebelling." ”

"Then it's the young master who speaks?" Wang Xu frowned and asked, "Young man, don't worry about it." ”

"In addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, it is to eat and wait for these young people to die." Tu Tan sneered lightly, "It's not a custom that comes from somewhere, after the men on the Donghu side go out, they are all women in charge." ”

"Oh?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Even if it is the royal family of the Donghu tribe, the king of Donghu goes on an expedition, and the princess is handling the affairs of the clan, so the Bai Di tribe is the same." Tu Tan explained.

"I remember that the women of Donghu don't seem to have much status." Wang Xu frowned.

"Ordinary women naturally don't have it, but the concubine or the wife has a right status, in fact, let me tell you this, the marriage model of the Donghu Department is basically two clans with similar lintels, and then after the marriage, the eldest son inherits the grandfather's property, but the other sons of the main wife may inherit the property of their parents, and then they will friendship, a big clan, basically a generation will be split into many small clans." Tu Tan scratched his head and explained with a strong brain, "Do you understand?" ”

"Even if you don't understand, you can't explain it more clearly, can you?" Wang Xu sneered.

"It is the right to constantly divide the clan, so that the core rights of the clan can never be held by one or several families." Mo Kui hit the nail on the head and said, "The Donghu people don't know whether the sword is going off the rails or by mistake, they learned the marriage of the Central Plains, but the purpose is different, the marriage of the Central Plains family is to be close to each other, and it is stronger and stronger, while the marriage of the Donghu clan is the more marriage, the weaker it is." ”

"Because the nomads themselves cannot form a large circle of interests, except for the livelihood of cattle and sheep, they have no concept of land, in fact, to be honest, the fundamental value of interest groups is land, land represents food, and pasture, belongs to every shepherd." Wang Xu sighed inexplicably.

"The land belongs to the Emperor." Mo Kui lowered his head and said in a deep voice.

"The land belongs to heaven and earth." Wang Xu pointed to it and chuckled, "So, it is actually a group of women who control the operation of the city now?" ”

"That's right, what is the Emperor going to do?" Tu Tan asked curiously.

"I haven't figured out what to do yet." Wang Xu shook his head, looking at Mo Lian and Mo Wolf who were carrying the big food box back to the front hall, "Let's eat something first, you have been outside for so long, try the new products of the Lonely Bamboo Country." ”

The process of stir-frying did not appear when the iron pot was not popular, so the crude snack of dry fried soybeans with a little salt is naturally amazing, not to mention the soy products with an unusually soft taste and fragrant taste.

Mo Kui is like a kind elder, teaching them how to eat tofu, but his smile is indescribably weird.

"Where's the ink wolf?" Wang Xu threw saltwater soybeans into his mouth, glanced at the hall, and found that the ink wolf was missing

Mo Lian leaned over to Wang Xu's side, with a gossipy smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'm going to give a gift." ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu was stunned, "The people who can let him give gifts seem to be here." ”

"The rumored Miss Zhou." Mo Lian pursed her lips and smiled, "I said why was you so kind to take me to the kitchen just now, hum, it turned out that you wanted to get some food in advance to give gifts." ”

"The first major meeting, he still has the heart to pick up girls?" Wang Xu rolled his eyes, but suddenly stiffened, as if he thought of something.

"I don't know what kind of fairy that Miss Zhou looks like, and she can make Uncle Wolf so fascinated." Mo Lian grinned and gossiped, not noticing Wang Xu's changing expression.

"Do all the royal armies have wives?" Wang Xu reached out and grabbed Mo Lian's hand and asked.

Mo Lian's body trembled, her cheeks were unnaturally a little flushed, she was stunned, and then her small mouth pouted, as if she was a little angry, "Eh, since the emperor promulgated the marriage law and stipulated monogamy, they are all single!" Oh, and it's still unmarried and pregnant with a single person with a child. ”

Wang Xu was stunned and blinked blankly.

"That is to say, they are not ready to recognize their original wives." Mo Lian gritted her silver teeth and said, "These bastards. ”

"Huh?" Wang Xu frowned, and his voice was slightly cold, "What do you mean?" Abandon your wife? ”

"Then they wouldn't dare." Seeing that Wang Xu's face was a little bad, Mo Lian hurriedly explained, "You said that as long as you get a marriage certificate, you are a regular husband and wife, and then there are a series of husband and wife benefits, but those bastards are now officials, and when they are full, their hearts will be wild!" ”

"Huh? How can they say that they didn't go to get the license? So how did the child enter the family tree? Registered? Wang Xu frowned and said, when he was working on the marriage law, he thought he was still very complete.

"Mojia and the older ones originally got the certificate, but I don't know why they left later, the child's household registration was naturally on, and then the others didn't get married." Mo Lian sighed, "I went to ask, their wives all said that they were old and decrepit, and they didn't want to delay them, after all, they still think that the more heirs the better, and they can't have children anymore when they're old." ”

Wang Xu's body stiffened and fell silent.

No matter how perfect the law is, it is always full of loopholes in the face of human feelings.

Women in this era generally regarded themselves as a reproductive tool for the continuation of their children, and they did not have much concept of marriage, in a sense, they were not much different from the group of slaves.

Wang Xu originally thought that coming up with a marriage law would make equal rights popularized earlier.

Now it seems that it is easy to think for yourself.

However, Wang Xu is not ready to interfere too much with these people, after all, everyone's life is his own, and all he can do is to provide another perspective and values from the future.

"So these guys also accepted it with peace of mind?" Wang Xu frowned.

"Hmph, they can't wait for this kind of cheap thing, there are more women and fewer men in the clan now, and everyone is praised to the sky, and Mo Ren's bastard goes in and out of different homes every night." Mo Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Emperor, why don't we add another crime of fornication!" ”

"That would be a violation of the law of free love and the law of adult rights." Wang Xu touched his nose a little embarrassed, "Forget it, as long as it's not forced, let them go, after all, they are all single." ”

"How can you get married if you go on like this!" Mo Lian blushed and said angrily.

"When the destined woman appears, there will naturally be a day when she is willing to get the certificate." Wang Xu chuckled and touched Mo Lian's head, "Go, call in all the animals of the royal army." ”

"The Emperor wants to punish them?" Mo Lianqiao's face was happy.

"Well, sort of." Wang Xu sneered with a little weakness, "By the way, Zhai Qiu was also called in, he is also a general, what are you doing guarding the door." ”

"Let him stay out and watch, he'll be at ease." Mo Lian pursed his lips, "It's harder to let him say more than to kill him, and he can't listen to what others say, just like a stone, it's just right to be a guard." ”

"Then at least bring him something to eat." Wang Xu smiled and shook his head, "By the way, let your young lady and them come in too, and there is a task for them." ”

Mo Lian glanced at Wang Xu suspiciously, didn't ask more, and ran out to call someone.

After a while, he led thirty-five royal soldiers and the Fire Phoenix Lady Army led by Qing Niang to come in.

When the royal army followed Qiu He on a mission before, he dressed up as a Donghu savage for more than a month, which made them go crazy for a long time.

Although when they were in the Lonely Bamboo Country before, they were savages.

But since Wang Xu appeared, dressing properly and paying attention to hygiene is their necessary homework, although it is not as troublesome as Zhai Qiu's cleanliness, but they are also very concerned about dress and hygiene.

The military uniform of the royal army is currently the most beautiful, the silver armor is gilded and carved with a Xuanniao pattern, the cloak is also made of red-crowned crane feathers and mink, and the helmet is the shape of a bird's head, and they are all tailor-made, some small details are not the same, so the royal army after wearing the military uniform can be said to be radiant.

And Mo Lian's Fire Phoenix Army, the military uniform is also exquisite, before the territory found a cinnabar mine, the dark red ore of the cinnabar mine is very much to Mo Lian's appetite, just in line with her fire phoenix department, so he contracted the cinnabar mine, the military uniform of the Fire Phoenix Army is also silver armor, with cinnabar inlaid with the pattern of the phoenix that has been bathing in fire, and it is integrated with the helmet.

Since they couldn't find that many red fox skins, they made cloaks out of moose skins dyed red with cinnabar, and each cloak had their names on it.

As soon as the Fire Phoenix Army and the Royal Army came in, they had a sense of wealth and nobility that was very eye-catching.

However, the relationship between the two is not very harmonious at first glance.

It is estimated that if it were not for Wang Xu's summons, neither of them would be willing to appear on the same stage.

Qiu He originally thought that the Iron Kite Ride was luxurious enough, but after seeing these two teams, he became more and more yearning for the Lonely Bamboo Country.

It has to be said that the exquisite appearance is extremely deceptive.

In the words of later generations, appearance is also a kind of strength.

Fei Tong, who had been trembling, finally eased his mood after eating a meal, and when he saw such a heroic and graceful Huo Fengjun at this time, his eyes instantly straightened, and his saliva was about to flow out.

"Get up." Wang Xu waved his hand to get them up, "Li'er, you take the Qing Niang and them, according to my menu yesterday, prepare food for two hundred people, Qing Niang, you go to the back warehouse to find some silk and satin, and decorate the hall with the decoration I gave to Li'er on her birthday that day." ”

"Whoa." Qing Niang bowed slightly, and led dozens of sisters of the Fire Phoenix Army into the harem.

"Who is the Emperor going to feast on?" Mo Lian frowned and said curiously.

"Well, give this animal a blind date." Wang Xu pointed at Mo Jia and the others of the royal army with some embarrassment.

"Blind date? What is it? Mo Lian's face was full of doubt.

"That is, let them know those mistresses who know the Bai Di clan." Wang Xu's cheeks were a little hot, and he waved his hand, "Don't ask so much, go and prepare." ”

Mo Lian stared at Wang Xu's face strangely for a while, wrinkled his nose, let out a soft snort, and ran towards the harem.

Wang Xu scratched his head in embarrassment, to be honest, this kind of night duck drops a rich woman, the routine is placed in ancient times, or a wife, it is really shameful.

However, after explaining the night's tasks to the royal army, they looked at these animals with excitement on their faces, and they were full of promises to be lucky enough to live their lives.

Wang Xu felt more and more ashamed.
