Chapter 3 Troubled Times Descend Section 50 Luoshui Farewell

Under the persecution of the emperor Zaisan, I had to hastily arrange Liu Zhou's caravan to Yizhou on the fifth day after the wedding, and set out on the return journey.

Zhou Yi led the remaining personnel to Luoshui to see them off, but after waiting for the other people to see them off, we had the opportunity to speak in the cabin in private: "The situation in Luoyang is complicated, Botong, stay in this land of tigers and wolves, you have to be extra careful, if you violate any laws you don't know, or if you provoke some great big person, you will be arrested and imprisoned, and your property will be confiscated, you have to be careful, many people are eager to confiscate your property." "I advise with great concern.

"I understand", Zhou Yi said with deep feelings: "The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, no wonder the people would rather stay in a place where there is a tiger than in a place where there is an official government." I plan to try not to come forward in the future, I just pick up girls and win over the relationship between all parties. So, who can find fault with me? ”

"You pervert", I laughed and scolded: "I'm really worried about the good woman in Luoyang." ”

Zhou Yi let out a wicked laugh, and I asked casually: "Speaking of pickle girls, how many sisters do you plan to marry and go home." ”

"Of course, the more the merrier," Zhou Yi replied nonsensibly: "Taking advantage of the fact that your damn primogeniture inheritance law has not yet been implemented in the Central Plains, I will get a few beautiful sisters first, hehe, when they come back to the aftertaste, it will be too late." ”

"Hahaha", I laughed: "Then you have to pay attention, there are no family planning measures at this time, you have to educate the children you give birth to, once they can't pass the heir exam in the future, according to the law of succession, hehe, my children can inherit your property." ”

"You go to die", Zhou Yi said viciously: "We are not related, although we are from the same place, we have no blood relationship, you want to inherit my property, in the next life." ”

We laughed and gasped. After a while, Zhou Yi turned around and asked seriously: "Seriously, I've been wondering, in this troubled world, with constant wars and killings, and a vast and sparsely populated land, how did you think of using this kind of ghost law to restrain childbirth?" ”

I nodded slowly, it seems that even Zhou Yi doesn't understand this law very well.

I stood up and walked around the cabin twice, carefully choosing the words, and explained to Zhou Yi: "The establishment of this law is ostensibly to determine the custom of primogeniture inheritance that was tacitly accepted by the Han and Qin dynasties in the form of a law, but in fact, it has a deep meaning. First of all, it is the reason why I told you when I first established this law - it can make the feudal feudal system fixed, so that the imperial court will not be unable to bear it because there are more and more children, the division of property is becoming more and more detailed, and there are more and more titles. Above all, this law ensures that every person has more adequate resources, that he has a better life, and that he has the financial and energy to study something, and perhaps to do something for the development of the productive forces, and for the progress of the nation.

China's bloody and violent revolutions were all due to insufficient resources due to population expansion, excessive land pressure, excessive population, and insufficient resources per capita to support itself. In this way, the proletarians can only reach out their butcher's knives to their own people if they want to acquire property. And I've always thought that maybe we can solve the root cause of bloody violence – the over-expansion of the population. Let everyone who is alive have access to more resources, so that they can live with a higher quality. Instead of having a large family and only one mouthful of gruel to live, it is better to let everyone live with rice and white flour.

If each of the Chinese people has the same living resources as the Western world, I believe that they will have the financial resources, leisure time, and opportunity to research a more brilliant scientific culture.

If you are worried about the lack of manpower, it will lead to too much production pressure and fewer soldiers. On the contrary, I think that this is a good opportunity, and we will study more advanced farming techniques because of the lack of manpower; With fewer people, powerful, manpower-based machines will sell well, and people will naturally work harder to invent more powerful machines. China will have the opportunity to get rid of the agrarian culture and enter the mechanical civilization.

To be precise, our primogeniture system is a system of inheritance in which real estate is basically individed. In most cases, the eldest son, who passes the examination, inherits real estate and bears the burden of maintaining the family name.

Other children are born knowing that they cannot inherit property, and they must work hard to learn the ability to earn a living, learn military and business, and must make a share of the world themselves, which is also to encourage other children to learn to compete, instead of only thinking about relying on their parents' property.

Of course, parents must provide for the various learning expenses of the other children. Therefore, the "primogeniture system" and the "regulations on the assessment of inheritance rights" put great pressure on parents and eldest sons. All children must have enough knowledge and abilities to survive in this world. This will be of great benefit to improving the quality of our nation. Parents will also take into account the cost and difficulties of raising children, and will consciously curb having more children and raising more.

Of course, this system is unlikely to work under polygamy. Berton, we don't have a hard and fast rule on monogamy, because we don't want to cause the feudal scholar class to attack, so you can marry multiple wives now. By the time the power of this law is revealed, and when everyone understands the limits of this law—it will take about 4 or 500 years, as a general rule—then monogamy will be practiced so naturally that no one can shake it. ”

Zhou Yi looked at me maliciously and said, "I'm thinking, what will you do if your wife gives birth to a stupid son for the first time?" ”

I immediately retorted, "You boy crow's mouth. You don't have to worry about this, in most cases, a family does not need the most intelligent person in the family to bear the burden of maintaining the family name, and explicitly let the eldest son inherit it, but saves a lot of trouble competing with each other. Even if he is a stupid son, as long as he has a good housekeeper, he can do this job. As for the housekeeper's worries about making property, I don't think it's necessary, the stupid son is dead, or he can't pass the heir assessment, according to the succession law, the young son who is out of the house will go home to inherit the family property, and the housekeeper can't take away a little property. ”

Zhou Yi was silent and stayed for a long time, but he still asked unrelentingly: "You have such a big family business, are you afraid that under this kind of law, there will be no heir in the end?" ”

I patiently explained to him: "Historically, there are often families or businesses with a long history in areas where the inheritance system is more popular, while there are fewer families with a long history and greater contributions in areas where the inheritance system of 'equal division of family property' is adopted. Think about it, anyone who has struggled all their lives wants to pass on this family business completely, and the children don't understand how to maintain the family business or family if the family's real estate, house, and business are demolished. Therefore, if the law of primogeniture is implemented, perhaps the family or business can be maintained for several generations, and if this law is not implemented, the family will be broken up and decay in the second generation. Therefore, the primogeniture law is the law that can maintain the long-term strength of the family. ”

Zhou Yi pondered for a long time and shook his head: "A few of us have never been able to talk about you, but it sounds a little reasonable." Wait, anyway, the future generations will feel that it is inappropriate, as long as they get enough votes to support it, they will change this law. ”

I said lightly: "Of course, this law also has many drawbacks, but in this era of material poverty, low productivity, and lack of equality, the advantages of implementing this law generally outweigh the disadvantages." This Fa is not omnipotent, and when we don't adapt to it, we will naturally get reforms. As long as we put in place a mechanism for change, all laws will be properly amended. ”

Subsequently, we put down this heavy topic and chatted about some light-hearted things, Zhou Yi specially asked me to write the poems of Han Yuefu that I saw in Lu Zhifu, of course, he specifically asked me to write the remuneration and poems that men and women in the Han Dynasty wanted to meet and date: "Knowing myself and knowing my opponent, I want to find out how these old masters make up girls." However, I believe that this last classic of love in the Han Dynasty is with me. Sima Xiangru kidnapped his beautiful sister Zhuo Wenjun to sell wine, I want to kidnap my sister and help me sell vegetables. ”

In my long laughter, we reluctantly parted.

"Anchor," I shouted to the sailors.

On this errand, in order to supervise my decree, the emperor sent 10 eunuchs to accompany him. The 10 eunuchs were all elated, and it is said that they had paid bribes desperately to obtain the position, and along the way, they were arrogant, domineering us, pointing fingers at us, and unaware that they had caused death.

However, Zuo Feng's eunuch wisdom is really not ordinarily high, and in this battle for his entourage, not only did he not participate, but even recommended to me a guy who was said to be his enemy. It's really a bad intention.

Hehe, my mind, how can you see it.

We rushed to western Liaoning on the return Izumo cargo ship, which was loaded with grain and cloth purchased in Luoyang, and in the later period of Dong Zhuo's reign, the price of grain was 200,000 to 500,000 yuan per Hu, and the price of a good war horse was 1 million yuan per horse. Now at the beginning of the ****, Zhang Lu has not yet cut the granary of Hanzhong, and the new grain will gradually go on the market in June. All these factors add up, but food prices have not yet begun to rise. Therefore, every one of our boats is full of pits and valleys. Of course, after our big search, the price of food immediately began to rise, and it will continue to rise, and it will continue to rise.

Since we had a deep draft on each boat, we walked very slowly. On the boat, the yellow warbler surrounded me like a small bird, so that I could enjoy the endless beautiful scenery. When our ship entered Puyang, a messenger sent by Fu Zhi arrived as promised, bringing the news that the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans had attacked Linzi again. The letter used Gong Jingqing's seal letter, ordering me, who was the driver of Qingzhou, to immediately rush to Linzi to organize the defense. I readily accepted the order. The flotilla, under my command, turned around and entered Pushui and rushed to Le'an by water.

As soon as the fleet turned, the eunuchs immediately noticed the movement. Suddenly, there was an uproar. It's a pity that those eunuchs and the 200 former forbidden soldiers were specially arranged by me at the stern of the fleet, and it was inconvenient to communicate on the ship, so I ignored them when they jumped to their feet and scolded.

That night, the flotilla entered Onozawa.
