589 Free Love Marriage Draft

After the end of the air battle. The two armies temporarily stopped the air duel. After all, the Qin Heavenly Army is a veteran air force. And the Qi Air Force could no longer rely on hot air balloons alone to counter the Qin army's huge technological superiority. Meantime. A cold wave of warm and moist air from the north converging to form rainfall. Let the aerial combat take a moment to rest.

However, the report of the Celestial Army will be forwarded to the General Staff for approval. After all, the news is too big. It turned out to be the plane of the Qin army that was shot down in the air battle of the Qin State. And it is currently the first Shangwen aircraft in the world to be shot down.

And in the country. Shangwen released a draft of free love. This draft, if adopted. It will change the traditional marriage customs and other aspects that are not conducive to social development.

This draft is related to the specific lives of the people of Qin. The social impact is enormous. Many scheduled wedding ceremonies have been postponed due to free love and simplified wedding styles. In order to appease the people. At the same time, the right of the public to participate in legislation has been increased. Shangwen left the draft for the public to extract opinions. King Qin also thinks so about status. After all, the opposition of the people is too strong. Even if this bill were enforced, it would be very counterproductive.

The draft covers a wide range of aspects. In particular, some property-related customs will be abolished unconditionally. Like what. The man's bride price. The woman's dowry will no longer be allowed. It will be replaced by property registration. The property of the spouses is divided directly according to the principle of independence. This mainly catered to the idea of women's independence in the Qin state. It is also the meaning of Shang Wen. This is to avoid discord between the husband and wife because of property. and the loss of family independence of the weaker female parent because of property issues.

Shangwen's intentions are good. But the idea is a bit too much. In fact. There was a large part of the housewives in the Qin state. These housewives already exist de facto. Property registration is no longer possible. It's very difficult to implement.

The difficulty of this implementation. Not without consideration. It's just that they can't come up with appropriate guidelines. Since it is a draft. So it was announced without thinking about it.

On the issue of love and marriage. First of all, the state of Qin officially set the age of marriage for both husband and wife. This age is based on medical studies on human beings. The age is set at 18 years of age, and marriage can be made between a man and a woman. It was accompanied by a large number of judicial amendments.

In accordance with the provisions of the draft. Yingyu is not yet old enough to get married. At least wait a year or a few months. Shang Wen didn't know what Yingyu's birthday was.

Secondly, it is free love. Male and female parents do not interfere in any other way. This includes property pressures, among others. However, Meng Yi added one very strangely. The principle of survival independence. That is, both men and women must be financially independent after the age of eighteen. This independent criterion is to pay taxes. This is actually a precondition for falling in love. You must be financially independent. There is a certain material basis.

Such conditions are the forced entry of both men and women into social work. In fact, this is no longer a condition. In the state of Qin. It has become common for men and women to enter the social work from the age of 14 to 16. For example, Lu Pheasant, who just came. He was only about fourteen years old. If put it now. This also falls under the umbrella of child labour. But in the state of Qin, it was already the working age. It's not just work. Another point is the education system of the Qin State. The education system of the Qin State was very chaotic. In particular, the system of social re-education. Other words. As long as you pay the tuition, you can study at any time. But to graduate is an academic achievement. No fruit than no graduate can not be. It is precisely this kind of education system that exists. In particular, the continuation of continuing education in society. Many young people have chosen to work. Then earn money to pay for tuition. Then work while learning. Here's what makes this approach: What you learn and what you do are basically the same. Most young people choose a profession that is basically related to their own industry. Once the learning outcomes. Promotion. Or there's a lot of room to start a business. At the same time, the state of Qin gave young people free space. It also magnifies everyone's social potential infinitely.

So to speak. Without these basic safeguards. In particular, the existence of a socialized mode of production. Then the free love marriage of the Qin State is nonsense. This is a social need. It is also a social trend.

One last point. That is, after entering the marriage. The marriage between the parties will be recognized by the Qin government. And not the approval of a family. Dilute the sense of family. It is also a social need to strengthen the public's understanding of strangers. And this foundation. It is the credibility foundation of the strengthening of the legal system of the Qin State.

These are not enough to meet the requirements of the draft. It also makes clear provisions on some specific practices. For example, the gift money of both parties. Change to a specific gift with a value of no more than 10 and a half taels. The key money has been cancelled. If found. The penalty will be 100 times the amount of the key money. In addition to the gift money, there is also dining. The dining requirements for weddings have been changed to buffet style. Specifications are also extremely restrictive. It can't cost fifty gold. If exceeded. The same will be dealt with in the form of a hundred times the fine.

For the ceremony, though. The bill does not interfere too much. Because I can't intervene. But the principle is not to be too extravagant. Violators. Huge penalties.

In this way, the draft could control the extravagance of the Qin state. Let the society re-enter the benign development.

If that's it, it's over. Not enough to cause a huge response. Because of the propaganda through the media. These things have been finalized by the people. The problem arises over the division of property. In particular, the issue of concubines is linked to the many interests of the Qin State.

The population of the Qin State grew rapidly. There are a lot of new generations. There are a large number of mestizos in this generation. The reason comes from the loot. Yue's women have some characteristics of the Western Regions. Especially the tall figure. Let the increasingly wealthy Qin people have a tall western woman as a symbol of wealth. Most of their presence are prisoners of war. So the status itself is not equal. Many families enter their homes as concubines. It is mainly used for reproduction. And most of them play the role of domestic servants. and does not participate in social production.

The draft requires concubines and children born to them to have the same rights as their children. This includes inheritance rights as well as the same social status rights. Shangwen was originally going to abolish the concubine. But this is not in line with Qin's population policy. Shangwen compromised. But this article of the bill has had a huge impact. It's almost an explosive one.

Wives and concubines will have equal status and will have the same inheritance rights. People were stunned. They can no longer imagine what this will happen.

Those mixed-race children had no national consciousness. But the foreign war allowed Qin to see the wonders of the outside world. In particular, there are some differences in physical fitness. These differences give birth to racial discrimination. Marriage is not responsible. But when it comes to property, it's more complicated. Shang Wen, however, unexpectedly touched on another issue. Race. Shang Wen is in big trouble.
