Chapter Seventy-Three: The Ancients Were Really Feudal
The banquet held by Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang was very successful, not only successfully beat the fame of the soap, but also won the support of some aristocratic women, so that they joined the community named the Late Marriage Society by Princess Shoukang, there were more than 200 noble women at all the table banquets, and more than half of the people who finally joined the Late Marriage Society, most of them were aristocratic girls who proposed marriage.
The so-called late marriage of the late marriage society, in fact, is not really to wait until the twenty-seven or eight of the later generations to get married, but relative to the marriage age of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is recommended that women get married again when they reach seventeen, of course, this is only advocated, not mandatory, after all, these aristocratic women sometimes have to face family pressure, so they only need to do what they can, try to delay their marriage, and when they have nothing to do, they can also participate in some activities held by the late marriage club, which is also one of the ways for these women to spend time.
For Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang to establish a late marriage club, Zhao Yan didn't ask at all, firstly, he couldn't interfere in this kind of thing, and secondly, Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang, as women, although they have some freedom, but in fact, they don't have any life goals at all, so it is better to leave this matter to them and let them do it themselves, anyway, this kind of thing is not something that can be changed in a year or two, it is estimated that it will take more than ten years or even most of their lives for the two to change the atmosphere of early marriage in the Great Song Dynasty, which is a long-term career.
However, although Zhao Yan didn't ask about the Late Marriage Society, it didn't mean that he could get out of it, on the contrary, Zhao Yan also had to do an important thing for the Late Marriage Society, which was to help Cao Ying write out the booklet that publicized the harms of early marriage and the benefits of late marriage, which was actually a manual for eugenics and parenting for later generations.
For this kind of propaganda brochure, Zhao Yan can be said to be extremely familiar, after all, he is also a person who has mixed in medical school, and usually sees this kind of brochure in hospitals and other places, so writing this kind of brochure is a piece of cake for him, on the second day of the banquet, he spent two hours in the study to finish the booklet, this is mainly because the brush is too difficult to use, and when you encounter traditional Chinese characters that cannot be written, you have to ask Xiaodou Sprouts for advice, and finally simply dictated by Zhao Yan, Xiao Dou Sprouts wrote, That's when the pamphlet was written.
Generally speaking, the content of this kind of booklet is to introduce some knowledge of eugenics, such as the harm of early marriage, some physiological common sense of women, plus a few small cases and a few illustrations, a propaganda booklet is completed, as for those illustrations, they are drawn by Zhao Yan himself.
"It's done!" Zhao Yan came to Cao Ying's room with the completed propaganda brochure and put it in front of her with a relaxed face.
Cao Ying was also sorting out the registration list of the Late Marriage Club yesterday, and when she heard Zhao Yan's words, she was stunned at first, and then immediately grabbed the brochure and looked at it, and the content on it also opened her eyes, such as Zhao Yan's several physiological tips written on it, which are very novel knowledge for Cao Ying.
But then I saw Cao Ying's face turn red, and she took a bite and threw the pamphlet in front of Zhao Yan and said, "Dirty, how can my husband draw such a thing on a propaganda pamphlet?" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yan picked up the booklet and looked at it, but it didn't seem that there was any problem.
"And asked me what's wrong, look at this painting, how can you paint it on it, if it spreads, I'm afraid others will think it's ...... Be...... Is it **? Cao Ying casually pointed to the booklet and said, but when it came to the end, not only did it become slurred, but also her voice was extremely low, if it weren't for Zhao Yan's good ear, I am afraid she couldn't hear it clearly.
Following Cao Ying's fingers, Zhao Yan appeared, there is a full-body picture of a woman he drew on the booklet, which mainly indicates the location of ** and ovaries, which is also one of the common sense of women's physiology, it is very troublesome to rely on text alone, so he added an illustration, this kind of picture is very common in hospitals in later generations, and there is no fuss at all.
"What's this, isn't it just the diagram of the two organs in the woman's Hugh?" Zhao Yan was very puzzled.
"No, this pamphlet has to be printed a lot and put it in the hands of the people, how can you draw a naked woman on it, and mark that kind of shameful place, if it is really released, I am afraid that others will think that our late marriage society is something improper!" Cao Ying said very resolutely. Although she also studied medicine, she couldn't accept Zhao Yan's avant-garde thinking.
"Okay, I didn't expect even you to be so feudal, then I'll remove this picture, and then add some text!" Zhao Yan said helplessly, it seems that ancient times are still not open enough, and even a picture that can only distinguish gender is not acceptable, speaking of which, the game beauty that he painted at the beginning, although it covered three points, but it was more than the painting on the brochure, but it was unfortunately stolen by Cao Song, and this guy didn't seem to take it out to give it away, it wouldn't be secretly hidden by him, right?
Zhao Yan took the booklet back and revised it slightly, Cao Ying felt very satisfied after reading it, and then ran to Princess Shoukang with the booklet to discuss the printing, and I didn't know how to thank it, which made Zhao Yan very dissatisfied, and was ready to blackmail him again next time Cao Ying begged him.
Idle, Zhao Yan habitually went out of the courtyard, first went to Lao Suma to look at the corn and sweet potato, the result is now growing very well, what surprised him even more is that the pepper seeds planted a few days ago also sprouted, the tender green buds in the black soil, looking at it makes people feel refreshed, and then thinking that you can put a plate of bright red chili oil when eating hot pot this winter, Zhao Yan's saliva almost flowed out.
"King Jun, don't worry, these crops are watched by the little old man, and there will be no accidents!" The old Suma next to him patted his chest and assured that now he almost handed over the matter of raising livestock to the second egg next to him, and concentrated on taking care of a few crops in the field, especially the peppers that Zhao Yan confessed, he had to count them every day, and he could show one less tree.
"Haha, Suma, I'm naturally relieved that you're doing things, but I'm just idle in the courtyard, so I came out for a walk, and the first thing I thought of you was here!" Zhao Yan said with a smile, and his words also revealed his attention and trust in Lao Suma, which made Lao Suma even more grateful, and once again said that he would take care of a few crops without eating or drinking.
Leaving the old Suma here, Zhao Yan crossed the Qingshui River again to the side of Shangshuizhuang, the riverside is the vegetable field of Shangshuizhuang, I saw that the cabbage seeds planted some time ago also grew more than two inches long seedlings, the green look is extremely gratifying, it just happened that Wang Qi was loosening the soil in his own vegetable field, and when he saw Zhao Yan coming, he immediately threw down the hoe and ran over.
"The villain sees the king of the county!" Wang Qi wiped the sweat on his head and bowed down, saying that since the last time Zhao Yan asked Wang Qi to give Wang Qi a salary, the other party was much more attentive than before.
"Don't be polite, this king came to see the growth of Chinese cabbage today, and I heard that the tenants in Zhuangzi also have complaints about Chinese cabbage, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Zhao Yan said indifferently, after Cao Ying's reminder last time, he has slowly learned how to maintain his demeanor as a county king in front of outsiders, so that what he says will be more prestigious.
Hearing Zhao Yan ask about the tenants' complaints about the Chinese cabbage, Wang Qi couldn't help but show embarrassment, but he didn't dare to hide it, and finally said with a wry smile: "King Qiyu, the growth of Chinese cabbage is very good, and the tenants do have some complaints about Chinese cabbage, although this kind of Chinese cabbage has not been grown around Tokyo, and it may be sold at a good price after harvesting, but in comparison, it is more appropriate to plant radishes and store them until winter." ”
Zhao Yan nodded after hearing this, when he asked the tenants to plant cabbage, it was Cao Ying who pressed it down with strong means, plus the tenants didn't know that cabbage and radish could be stored until winter before selling, so they didn't complain that it was a strange thing, but this is not to blame Zhao Yan, he had already told Wang Qi that cabbage could be stored until winter, but he didn't believe it at all, and in the end Cao Ying could only suppress people with power, but now that the cabbage has grown, and he has also missed the season of planting other vegetables, Maybe it's time to let the tenants know the truth again.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan smiled and said to Wang Qi: "Wang Qi, when this king asked you to plant cabbage, he had told you that this kind of cabbage can be stored until winter, but you don't believe it, but now this king repeats again, this kind of cabbage can really be stored until winter like a radish, when you think about it, the winter vegetable market is full of radish, but only you have fresh cabbage to sell, I'm afraid the whole Tokyo city will be crazy to rob, and then you are still worried about not making money?" ”
Wang Qi was also stunned when he heard Zhao Yan's words, he did hear Zhao Yan say that cabbage can be stored until winter, but he didn't believe it at all, but now think about it, with the identity of the other party's county king, there is no need to lie to himself in this kind of thing, and the tenants can't make money, and the main family also has to lose money, so thinking about it, maybe the fact that cabbage can be stored until winter is indeed true?
Thinking of this, Wang Qiyi seemed very excited for a while, and even said with some trembling: "King Jun, the yield of these Chinese cabbages is very high, one mu is enough to have a yield of several thousand catties, which is much higher than the yield of radish. ”
"Yes, I also fancy the advantages of cabbage can be stored and the yield is high, so I forced you to plant, and when this winter, you will know the king's painstaking efforts!" After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Qi's reaction, and left with his hands behind his back very pretendedly, as long as Wang Qi was convinced, the remaining tenants would naturally have Wang Qi, the head of the village, to persuade them, and I believe that after those tenants knew the value of Chinese cabbage, they would definitely do their best to take care of it, and there would be no complaints.
