If this thing sets a precedent, then the embankment of the new Song Dynasty, which has finally built a legal system, is likely to be destroyed in this small anthill.
Therefore, the official post of the official office of the Civil Affairs Bureau wrote the matter into a recital.
This recital was submitted to the Administration Department, and after a round of discussion by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Prime Minister of the Right Servant, it was finally concluded that this was a legal loophole in the "New Song Law", and someone took advantage of this legal loophole.
Wang Sizong, Wang Xianqi and others have a very clear view on this matter: Some people take advantage of legal loopholes, this is the first precedent in the history of the founding of the New Song Dynasty, and it is a manifestation of a heinous crime, and it must never go along with their wishes, and they must be severely punished to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future.
However, they are just talking about this, and no one can come to a final conclusion about this kind of thing that exploits the loophole of the "New Song Law", and this matter needs to be judged.
So the recital of one person accepting fifty-four concubines was presented to Jiang Yin's desk.
To be honest, when Jiang Yin saw this piece for the first time, he wanted to laugh three times, and someone who was so genius used such a small loophole as a tool to make money, it can be seen that this person must have some research on "New Song Law".
However, when he saw the comments of Wang Sizong and Wang Xianqi at the back of the chapter, he couldn't help laughing and crying, these ancient literati seemed to be very disgusted with the whole young man named Xu Fu, and they thought that his behavior against the morality of a gentleman was very shameful, and even if he was a businessman, he could be regarded as smearing a businessman and so on.
This matter needs Jiang Yin to make the final decision.
Then, as a later generation, Jiang Yin's view on this matter is obviously different from that of these ancients, and he has always insisted that the manifestation of a country or a high civilization is a society that can tolerate individual differences and accept the existence of all kinds of individuals is truly democratic, enlightened and free.
Therefore, this person named Xu Fu not only should not be punished, but he should also get everything that the previous law provided for, the rights he should enjoy, and after he enjoys these rights, the state should revise the marriage law in the "New Song Law" as soon as possible to prevent this kind of thing from happening again....
....
After Jiang Yin's holy edict was issued, this matter instantly became the front page headline of the "New Song Daily", and for a while, everyone in the entire New Song Kingdom talked about this Xu Fuying's marriage to fifty-four concubines.
The officials of the New Song Kingdom were all very taboo about the name Xu Fu, and they even felt that the name itself carried a kind of shame.
As literati with a spiritual purity, they can't imagine what kind of moral degradation it is to take advantage of the law for money and ask women for alms.
But fortunately for Xu Fu, he did not meet a lord who had the same spiritual purity as those ancient officials, but met a king who was very open-minded, tolerant and easy-going.
Under the king's protection, he not only did not receive the guilt, but received everything he was entitled to.
Xu Fu was released from prison, and the 54 women were also recognized by the law and obtained a red skin hukou in Cangzhou.
And those women were also very trustworthy, and after getting the red-skinned household registration book, they handed over one hundred taels of silver to Xu Fu.
Originally, Xu Fu was very frightened when he was imprisoned in prison, he looked back and thought about it in the bars, and he was also very afraid of his behavior, as if he was blinded by lard, so he did such a rebellious thing, he only hoped that the officials above could let him live.
But what Xu Fu didn't expect was that the people above not only let him live, but also changed all the fifty-four women with green hukou to red hukou according to the rules.
When he came out of prison, Xu Fu received the money given to him by those women, a total of 5,400 taels of silver, so much silver, it was a huge amount of money in Cangzhou, and when Xu Fu got the money, he felt that everything was like a dream, and the ups and downs of life were so fast.
And after getting the money, the stone tablet of "New Song Law" standing on the city square of Xincangzhou City was also urgently modified.
Since Xu Fu, the "New Song Law" has newly stipulated that "all citizens of the New Song Dynasty cannot marry more than five concubines, and the concubines do not enjoy the same household registration as the master." ”
And Xu Fu also became the first and last man in the history of the New Song Kingdom to have more than fifty concubines.
After having more than 5,000 taels of silver, Xu Fu returned to his old business, he originally planned to collect grain by himself to start a winemaking workshop, before he was suffering from no funds, and now that the funds are sufficient, opening a tavern is naturally a matter of course.
With 1,000 taels to rent a large wine-making workshop, and then spent a lot of money to recruit a group of brothers who had been skilled in wine-making with him, after reaching an agreement with the owner of the grain store, Xu Fu began to use a large amount of cheap grain to make wine, and he gave himself the name of the wine he produced.
Originally, Xu Fu only gave the name 'Xu Fu Wine' for convenience, but he didn't expect that as soon as his home-brewed wine was put on the market, it aroused the praise of the people of Cangzhou City, and everyone was very curious about Xu Fu, who took advantage of the loophole of "New Song Law" and married the wife of the fifty-fourth aunt.
However, the ancients were closed to information, and many things about Xu Fu were difficult to know, but his home-brewed wine could be bought, so most people would buy a bottle and a jar to try it.
Because Xu Fu is the cheapest grain from the grain store to make wine, so the price of Xu Fu wine brewed by his family is very low, and all the wine made from those old grains actually has a unique taste, and this wine is also particularly spicy and has great stamina, so Xu Fu wine is deeply loved by those bold men who work hard.
When the big guy drinks Xu Fu's wine, he will unconsciously say some meat jokes, such as Xu Fu sleeping fifty-four concubines in one night, such topics are never tired of talking, and as long as he talks about these things, the hard work of the whole day will disappear.
Xu Fu's name also spread throughout the streets and alleys of the New Song Dynasty with the expansion of his liquor industry, and even this story spread to Youzhou and other places in the Liao Kingdom, and Xu Fu wine also became the most popular drink among ordinary people in the New Song Kingdom.
Xu Fu didn't know, in fact, his experience, if it was placed in the 21st century, he would definitely be called an Internet celebrity, and now, he was the first 'Internet celebrity' in the New Song Dynasty in the Great Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.......
