"Alright, I'm not kidding you. I'll get you down to business. Wu Zong's face straightened.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruxi hurriedly smiled, pointed to the pavilion and said, "Let's go in and sit and talk." ”

The two sat down, the maid stepped forward to pour tea and send snacks, and Zhao Ruxi asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"What do you think about your family?" Wu Zong asked.

Zhao Ruxi: "......"

"What do you mean by seriousness?" She asked, skeptical.

"Or else?" Wu Zong is still serious, "This is a major event in life, and it will determine what life you will live in the next few decades, isn't it a serious matter?" ”

It makes sense, Zhao Ruxi is completely speechless.

"No, I ......" Zhao Ruxi gave up arguing with him and answered his question first, "I don't think about this now, so I don't have any ideas." ”

She asked curiously, "Why do you ask this?" Don't you want to be my matchmaker too? ”

"I thought so, but is there anyone in Jingzhong Erlang that you can look at?" Wu Zong glared at her, "Originally, Fu Yunkai had thoughts about you, but you didn't agree." Later, did that Tanhua also have an interest in you? I said, aren't you going to get married? ”

Wu Zong admitted that in the entire Great Jin, there is no more outstanding woman than his own junior sister. No one can match this talent and ability alone. But no matter how good you are, you have to get married, right? If you want to die alone, don't say how you are, the spittle stars of the world can drown you.

Zhao Ruxi was unhappy when she heard this: "What's wrong with not getting married?" I didn't eat other people's rice. If I can support myself, why do I need to look at people's faces and wait for others? ”

She has no idea of getting married in modern times, and in ancient times, she was forced to marry every day, which is really unreasonable.

Wu Zong saw that she was still vibrating, and immediately laughed angrily: "Do you think I want to take care of your idle business?" You have a father, a mother, and a master, no matter how much it is, I can't take care of it. But I have to remind you, when you reach the age of 16 and are not married, the emperor will definitely give you a marriage, do you believe it or not? ”

"Huh? No way? Zhao Ruxi's eyes widened, "Why?" ”

"Because you're a woman." Wu Zongdao, "Now the women of the Great Jin Dynasty all learn from you. ”

Although the Great Jin Dynasty has been established for a long time, the people have recuperated and recuperated, and the population has gradually increased, and the imperial court no longer has to force the people to marry when they reach the age to reproduce the population. But I don't want to see everyone get married.

Zhao Ruxi is the female champion, and the entire Dajin people are staring at her, and she is a model for the women of the Dajin Dynasty. If she doesn't get married, the emperor will not be the first to be happy. Isn't this a bad example for women? In the future, all women who have a little talent will learn from her, rely on their own talents to learn to live, and do not want to get married. Won't the population of Dajin increase?

In the era of cold weapons, more people are power. There is no doubt that a country of five million people is more powerful than a country of two million people, both in terms of the advantage of conscription and the advantage of labor resources.

Wu Zong told Zhao Ruxi about this, and Zhao Ruxi was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Co-authoring her is so important, she has become a benchmark and can affect the increase in the population of the entire Great Jin, which is really capable.

"I'm going to turn sixteen soon, and my birthday will be in a few days." She said with a sad face.

"Did you have a crush on that? If so, tell me quickly, I am a prisoner, and I will also take that kid to propose marriage to you. Wu Zongdao.

Zhao Ruxi calmed down. It is impossible to make a marriage, at least not within this year.

She said, "I'll write a letter to Master." The emperor wants to give me a marriage, so he must have asked the master first. When the time comes, let Master explain a few words for me. I don't want to get married at first, but I promise that I will get married this time next year. ”

Wu Zong shook his head: "Senior sister, why haven't you realized the seriousness of the matter?" Is this the emperor's problem? This is the problem of the courtiers. The emperor is naturally biased towards you. As long as you're not out of line, and haven't moved before the age of seventeen, he won't care. The question is, will the courtiers let you go? When I appointed you as the champion, the emperor used such an excuse, and the courtiers couldn't say anything. They're all waiting for you here. ”

"Women study, women are officials, because there are rules set by Empress Shengyao, they can't stop them. But when there is a conflict between a woman's education, her position as an official, and her marriage, they have something to say. Population growth is a national priority, and everything else has to be compromised to it. After all, there is no shortage of officials in the country. The woman went home to give birth and the man became an official, which was the best arrangement for them. ”

Zhao Ruxi: "......"

I think that modern working women are reluctant to get married and have children, and the more highly educated they are, the more so; Population growth in developed countries is negative, and the leaders of the countries are also heartbroken about this. She couldn't say anything to refute it.

"You make me think about it, and I'll take care of it." Zhao Ruxi said.

The reason why she and Xiao Lingyan concealed their relationship with each other was that they were worried that the hostile faction would be unfavorable to her, and they used her to blackmail Xiao Lingyan.

Now in order for women to study and become an official, the road to study and become an official will not be blocked, and let people know that studying, being an official, and marriage and family can also be taken into account, should she make her relationship with Xiao Lingyan public?

Xiao Lingyan is two years older than her, and she is eighteen years old this year, so he is probably under more pressure to marry than her, right?

Some people want to become the princess of Qi, but they can do anything. Xiao Lingyan doesn't know how many rotten peach blossoms he has encountered in the past two years.

Wu Zong nodded and said, "I'm just reminding you that you understand the truth in this, and it's good to have a countermeasure." ”

After saying this important matter, he asked, "Is there any difficulty in business?" ”

Zhao Ruxi shook his head: "There are no difficulties, just some doubts." ”

She told Wu Zong about the fact that she accidentally got a wine-making recipe, and said: "If I want to grow a large number of glutinous rice and make wine in Nanyang, I don't know what the imperial court's attitude will be towards this matter?" ”

Why did we emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce in ancient times? It is nothing more than because agriculture is not developed enough, the yield per mu is too low, and the grain planted is always not enough to eat, so the imperial court wants to press the peasants to the land, and has also made great restrictions on what can be grown on the land. Fields that can grow food must be planted with food. It is very difficult to develop a side business to grow cash crops, and large-scale planting is absolutely not allowed.

Wine is the most expensive thing to eat. Although glutinous rice is also considered a grain, its use for sake brewing is also restricted.

Zhao Ruxi also knew this, and he was not sure what the imperial court would think, so he asked Wu Zong.

Wu Zong arched his hand towards the sky: "Speaking of this, we have to thank Empress Shengyao." If it weren't for Niangniang's call to find the two high-yield crops of sweet potatoes and potatoes from overseas, the people of Dajin would not have been able to eat enough. If you want to make a lot of wine, it's not possible. ”
