Chapter 102: Don't Disturb If You're Not Sincere
In the seventh year after Zhao Weiji's visit to Heiankyo, Apei Qingming died, and this master who existed like a god in District 11 died.
According to legend, for the last seven years of his life, he struggled with a problem, and that was the mystery of Zhao Weiji's one-man duality, which he did not solve until his death.
But although he did not solve the mystery, he left a side of the proverb, but it did not attract attention at the time until the time of the change.
……
"Now it's time to explain to us that you didn't hesitate to take a detour to Dongying just for the sake of this boat's girl?" Chai Yu and Li Nian were very unhappy, and their husbands went all the way to Dongying to talk about business, but they didn't see a penny coming in, but got this boatload of girls.
"I said that when you and that Yuan Laiguang talked about things, you had to go behind our sisters' backs, so you were doing this kind of thing."
"Wife, listen to my explanation, this is not for myself, for those singles in Xinhua City, you also know that all the population of Xinhua City is immigrated to the past, and all the people who used to be in the early past were men, and many people did not marry wives in the Central Plains, and now they have a good development in Xinhua City, so they naturally hope to marry and have children."
"And then?"
"And then, your husband and I don't have the ability to get a suitable unmarried girl from the Great Song Dynasty to Xinhua City, so I can only fight Dongying's idea."
"So you're not selfish?"
"Absolutely not, conscience of heaven and earth." At this time, Zhao Weiji had a posture of thunder and thunder if I lied, and finally fooled the two ladies in the family.
At this time, Li Nian spoke: "Then husband, how are you going to marry these girls to those who are not married, do you let them choose at will, or draw lots?" ”
"Of course not." Zhao Weiji shook his head, "I have a better way." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Don't bother if you're not sincere."
What is this called, the two girls really don't know what kind of new idea their husband has come up with.
……
Soon the fleet returned to Xinhua City, and what people did not expect was that a large number of people came to the dock to pick up the ships on the return voyage of the fleet.
When Zhao Weiji's family stepped down from the boat, the crowd on the dock broke out into thunderous cheers, and some people even shouted the words long live the prince.
"Husband, husband, is your prestige in Xinhua City so high?" Li Nian, who was taken aback by the scene in front of him, hurriedly pulled Zhao Weiji's sleeve and asked.
"This ......." Zhao Weiji himself was taken aback by the scene in front of him, it was not that he had never been to the sea before, and he didn't have such an exaggerated welcome scene when he came back.
But soon Zhao Weiji understood why such a thing happened, because when the Dongying girls in the other boats got off the boat, the crowd erupted into a sound that was louder than the thunderous cheers just now.
It turned out that the people who came to pick up the ship were basically bachelors, and they had already heard from the ship that had returned earlier that the prince had gone to find a wife for them.
So these people have been looking forward to it for a long time. And today, from the lookout built on the coast, it was learned that the last fleet had returned, so by the time the fleet entered the bay, the group had already begun to assemble.
The result is such an exaggerated scene.
"Look, the people down there are actually here to pick up the girl."
Seeing the scene below, Chai Yu and Li Nian finally believed that these girls were really used to get married.
After returning to the mansion and settling his family, Zhao Weiji immediately went to the city hall, and he needed to arrange a place for these girls to live first.
"Zhongding, your inn has been requisitioned for the time being, you go back and see how many people still live there, discuss with them, and the men will move out of the city first." As soon as he arrived at the city hall, Zhao Weiji immediately began to give orders.
"Where are they going to live when they move out of town?" Jiang Yu asked.
"Do we still have tents when we come, send people to set up camps outside the city, let the men live there first, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you have to sacrifice it."
After hearing Zhao Weiji's order, Jiang Yu immediately went to do it.
"Then Lord Wang, how are you going to marry these girls?" Ling Huhuang said here the topic that everyone is most concerned about at the moment, that is, how to get married.
"Blind date."
"Blind date?"
"Yes, it's a blind date, Yao Ri, you go and make a count of the names of all the unmarried men in Xinhua City to see how many there are."
"Oh." Ling Huhuang also turned around and left.
"Why are unmarried men counted?"
"You'll find out soon."
……
Soon the statistics came out, and the adult population in Xinhua City today is about 50,000 people, of which more than 10,000 are unmarried men.
This statistical result really scared Zhao Weiji, it seems that the first batch of girls brought back from Dongying is not enough, and at least another batch of unmarried men will have to be matched.
But I can't manage it so much, and it's a batch of solutions to be solved.
After making this statistics, Zhao Weiji is ready to implement the Great Song version, the reverse version, and the simplified version in Xinhua City.
The rules are basically similar to the large-scale TV blind date programs in later generations, except that Zhao Weiji has made some changes to adapt to today's situation.
First of all, it was reversed, and there were more wolves and less meat in Xinhua City, so the original blind date of one man and many women became one woman and many men here. The final decision was given to the woman.
The second is that there are not so many complicated links as the future generations, and it is self-introduction and VCR, and it is troublesome to death. In order to shorten the time here, Zhao Weiji only set up two links, the first is the man's "lights out", before the blind date, the city hall will tell every man who comes to the blind date about the common characteristics of Dongying women.
Because Dongying women are basically husbands and children at home after marriage, there is nothing inappropriate in terms of personality, and the ancients did not consider so much when marrying wives, so Zhao Weiji did not plan to set this precedent, and whether the man "turned off the lights" basically depends on his appearance.
After the man "turns off the lights", the rest will introduce themselves, and then the woman will choose, and whoever you pick is who.
Then, for the sake of fairness, Zhao Weiji immediately divided all the men who were going to participate in the blind date into 1,000 groups of 1,000 people, each group of ten. Then the women were divided into 1,000 groups of five in each group. The 1,000 groups of men and 1,000 groups of women were then drawn together so that each man could have a chance to qualify for the women's selection.
In the end, Zhao Weiji asked all the men who participated in the blind date to sign an agreement, that is, even if they were not selected this time, then they could not have any resentment and retaliation. Since this time it was not selected, there will be a next time, and the town hall will try to ensure that all unmarried men have wives.
However, after Zhao Weiji announced the plan to the city hall, it first caused an uproar here, not to mention how strange this form is, just a woman picking a man is a bit unacceptable.
"Lord Wang, this woman may not be too suitable to pick a man."
"The wolf has more meat and less meat, what can you let me do? If it is replaced by a man picking a woman, some people estimate that the girl has already been picked before it is their turn. ”
"That's just as well."
"But Lord Wang, why can't you find someone to talk to the matchmaker?"
"Talking about the media? Will you? Or will you? Or is it you? ”
Everyone shook their heads.
"Isn't that the end of it, besides, even if we can find a matchmaker to match, when will the matchmaker of these thousands of people be finished. So it's better to have a group blind date. ”
Since others really couldn't find a better reason to oppose Zhao Weiji's insincere Do Not Disturb action, they could only let him mess around.
As a result, the content of this huge blind date activity was posted at the entrance of the city hall, and someone was sent to give a detailed explanation for the illiterate.
And on the day the content was posted, the unmarried registration began.
When the content was just posted, there were still many people who did not understand and disapprove of it, and this kind of thing of women picking men can only be described as madness in such a male-dominated society at this time.
However, it was later explained by the city hall, and most people were relieved, after all, there are more men and fewer women, so that male compatriots can compete in a relatively fair environment, it is slightly fairer for women to pick men.
However, of course, there are still people who don't accept it, but if they don't accept it, they can't help it.
Of course, this blind date activity here naturally can't be called "Don't Disturb", because no one can really understand what these four words have to do with blind dates.
Zhao Weiji gave this event a somewhat vulgar name, called God-given Good Fate.
"There are three days left before the registration deadline, how many people have signed up so far?" Four days have passed since the registration campaign began, and Zhao Weiji wants to know how many people have responded to the event.
After hearing Zhao Weiji's inquiry, Ling Huhuang, who was fully responsible for the progress of this activity, opened the statistics and took a look: "Back to the prince, as of last night, more than 7,000 people have signed up. ”
"Okay, you guys should get the word out and try to get more people to sign up."
In fact, there are really few single men who are really against this activity and are not ready to sign up, after all, according to the rules, the man also has a choice, so it is fair.
And the temptation to marry a wife is too big for these single men, and the city hall has also publicized the benefits of Dongying women, so it is too few to resist this temptation and not sign up in the end.
In the end, after the registration deadline, basically 98% of the single men participated in the registration, and in this way, this reversal version of the poor people of the Great Song Dynasty officially kicked off.
