After listening to Cao Cao's words, Tang Xiaobai's expression became serious. Since it is a matter involving himself and the soldiers, I am afraid that it cannot be underestimated, so he said: "It doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Cao Cao got up and sat down at Tang Xiaobai's signal, and then said: "Lord, the promulgation of the late marriage tax regulations, we all agree. Among the people, there are also ten ** who agree. However, there are still some people who oppose this for various reasons. ”

Tang Xiaobai has thought about this problem, the so-called difficult to reconcile, he does not expect his order to be supported by everyone. However, as the lord of a city, he also needs to show his toughness. Especially in these matters related to the future development of the forces, it is even more necessary to show their authority. He said: "The matter of public opinion is also in human feelings, but if the interests of a small number of people are sacrificed in exchange for the grand cause of the future of the family and country, let them go to make trouble, and it will stop in a few days." ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Definitely." The promulgation of the late marriage tax decree was widely supported, especially by the older generation, who even felt that the tax was too light and that those over 22 who had not yet married should be put in jail. ”

emm。

Tang Xiaobai broke out in a cold sweat on his back, it seems that the same universe and the same parents...... He remembered that when he interviewed an old man on a certain station before, he said this. If you don't get married after the age of 30, you will be dragged to prison.

Cao Cao continued: "But the people who oppose it are some school-age youths, who say that your order restricts their freedom. ”

The corners of Tang Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and sure enough, it was this group of middle two teenagers. Shaking his head helplessly, he said, "If they make trouble, let them make trouble, and it will stop in a few days." If you don't stop and go to serve three months of military service, you will be honest. You see, the soldiers in our army are all young and strong of the right age, and they are making a fuss? ”

Not every young man in White Sugar City can become a soldier, some people may be born disabled, and some may have special talents in other places, so there are still a small number of young people who are active in the town. Those who are soldiers don't dare to make a fuss, since they are young and strong, there are only these people.

Cao Cao waved his hand again and said: "If they really make trouble, it doesn't matter if he is crippled or not, as long as he is arrested and served for three months of military service as the lord said, he will be honest." ”

Tang Xiaobai looked at Cao Cao, as if what he said was not so simple?

Really.

Cao Cao said with a bitter face: "But they are very smart, but they don't make noise or noisy, but they just go to the tavern, inn, post station and other places where there are many people when they are idle. ”

"What?"

Tang Xiaobai wanted to know what made this generation of heroes Cao Cao so helpless.

Cao Cao said with a sad face: "They are chattering, chattering about something, General Zhao Yun did not marry, Guo Jiajun did not marry, General Dian Wei did not marry......

"Ugh." Tang Xiaobai was really speechless this time, it is true that if such an edict is promulgated, as a result, none of the official soldiers will marry, it seems that it is really unreasonable.

"The most hateful thing is ......" Cao Cao stopped talking and secretly glanced at Tang Xiaobai.

Tang Xiaobai seemed to know something, and stretched out his hand to stop Cao Cao and said, "Since it's hard to say, then there's no need to say it." ”

"Ah......" Cao Cao was stunned. I just deliberately hung down my appetite and led you to the trick, but you didn't follow the routine so much, so how can this chat continue happily?

So, he ignored Tang Xiaobai's stop, and said directly: "The most hateful thing is that they said that the lord you seem to have two decades, don't you have a marriage and don't marry?" Those who issue ordinances themselves do not follow the ordinances and regulations, and they are naturally dissatisfied. ”

I'll go!

Tang Xiaobai slapped the table and made a "pop" sound. As soon as Cao Cao heard the sound of slapping the table, he didn't know whether he was deliberately or really frightened, so he sat on the ground with his buttocks, and then stopped looking at his father-in-law.

"It's so damning! He actually said that I was twenty, and I was only fifteen. Is fifteen good? Tang Xiaobai looked distressed and shook his head again and again.

Cao Cao looked at Tang Xiaobai with a shocked face, as if to say: Lord, shall we have a face?

"But they have a point." Tang Xiaobai himself felt that it seemed to be a bit too much, after all, the ordinance was promulgated by himself, and if he didn't get married, it would be a little difficult to convince the public.

"Well, that's a question."

Tang Xiaobai pinched his chin and paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about a very important issue.

After a while.

"Smack!" A bang rang out. Tang Xiaobai slapped the table again.

"Cao Cao."

Hearing the call of his lord, Cao Cao immediately responded: "Humble duty." ”

Tang Xiaobai issued an order: "Today is the second and fifth day of the lunar month, and I order you to find a wife for yourself before the end of the first month." ”

"Ah~~" Cao Cao crashed on the spot.

Isn't that a little too embarrassing, wow.

"Lord!! There are five out of forty now! Where are you going to let me find it? Cao Cao shouted with a crying voice. After all, he is not as popular as General Zhao Yun, nor is he as talented as Guo Jia, and he is not as pink and white as Sun Taishou, so isn't this embarrassing for him?

Speaking of this age, in fact, Tang Xiaobai is also very puzzled, why do these generals and strategists seem to be of the right age when they are drawn out? For example, Xun Yu and Cao Cao, the two are of the same age, but after drawing it out, Xun Yu is a handsome son, but Cao Cao is an uncle with five out of forty? Why? Can't figure it out.

Since you can't figure it out, you don't want to.

Tang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this, you go to the matchmaker group yourself." Anyway, my order has already been given. With that, Tang Xiaobai hurriedly left the Taishou Mansion and went back to the council hall.

"Lord, lord......" Cao Cao followed from behind.

"I said, my order has been issued, you go and solve your own affairs quickly, don't reason with me again." Tang Xiaobai was about to leave in a hurry, walked to the door, suddenly turned back, and said to Cao Cao: "By the way, remember to tell Old Man Hua and Old General Hansheng that they also want to marry." ”

Belch.

Cao Cao was silent.

Although he is forty-five out, he is still middle-aged. But the old man is more than eighty, right? Old General Hansheng has five out of seventy, right?

Suck...... Thinking about it like this, Cao Cao suddenly felt as if he wasn't a particularly miserable one?

The mood suddenly opened up, the mood was broadened, the thinking was broad, the thinking was broad, and many things that I didn't expect came to my heart. For example, he thought of Dian Wei, who was a giant man more than two meters tall, and he didn't look good, so he could find a wife?

Hmm~ Thinking about it this way, how does he feel as if he is a little bit of a schadenfreude and good show?
