"Isn't Xiaomeng okay?"

"Xiaomeng is not easy to say, anyway, we definitely can't. ”

In fact, none of the three of them had a bad cultivation talent. Jiang Ning was stuck because of the tip of the sword, but the tip of the sword did not suck all the aura he absorbed, and after changing to a technique, he quickly broke through the half-step innate. Dao Hanqing's cultivation method is poor, there is no one to guide him, and there are almost no cultivation resources. After getting the earth dragon ginseng, he quickly broke through the innate level, and he also made rapid progress during this time. However, one is a seventeen-year-old half-step congenital, and the other is a twenty-one-year-old congenital, including Jiang Ning himself, who has no self-confidence.

Li Meng's situation is not easy to say.

Strictly speaking, she didn't lack any cultivation resources, not only did Jiang Ning explain some advanced cultivation knowledge to her, but almost all the profits of the Ruyi Liquor Store were used on her. Because of the rapid progress of cultivation, he has also received the weight of the elders of the outer sect in the Sanshan Gate.

The nature of the fourteen-year-old congenital and the twelve-thirteen-year-old congenital is very different.

For these geniuses, in the basic realm, a gap of one or two years is often equivalent to a big realm.

But Li Meng had only been cultivating for three years, and the cultivation time was very short.

The key Jiang Ning is also unclear, what means must be used to assess a person's talent, understanding, perseverance, actual combat ability, specialties and luck.

Jiang Ning added: "The Tiancang Sect is too famous, and when they recruit disciples, maybe there will be more than a dozen states and one or two thousand counties of young people to go for assessment. It's too difficult to stand out among so many young people. Therefore, although Xiao Dai'an and Niu Ruzhen were twenty years old, they had no bottom in their hearts, so they came here to try. ”

"Try it out here, with a few hares?"

Jiang Ning also laughed speechlessly.

But what Jiang Ning didn't know was that Hezhou ranked fifth in terms of area and number of households in the northwest of the Yue Dynasty, and it was a first-class state in the northwest.

Not only is the area large, the population is large, and the products are also abundant, there are more than a dozen Yuan stone mines alone, in this case, Hezhou undoubtedly has more talented teenagers.

Under the same circumstances, the Tiancang Sect must recruit teenagers from the surrounding vicinity as disciples, and "related households" are inevitable, which makes the competition among the young people participating in the assessment in other states even more cruel.

Niu Ruzhen and Xiao Dai'an are not here to "kill rabbits", mainly to adapt to the wild environment, even if they kill rabbits, they are not killed with weapons, but to be caught alive, and used to train speed. But Jiang Ning can't be blamed, he has some relatively high vision, and only some vision, and these visions are still incomplete.

There's another reason, even if the trial doesn't work well here.

They were the children of the Xiao family and the Niu family, and they could hear more news, including some news of the ambush in Shiliang Mountain, and they didn't dare to go to a place farther away from Licheng City to try.

Picking and choosing, Xiao Dai'an chose to come here.

"Second brother, don't talk about this, the envoy of the imperial court has come to Licheng, and Lord Ye will let you go back. ”

"...... so fast"

The envoy of the Moon Dynasty must come from Kyoto, and Kyoto is tens of thousands of miles away from Licheng, and it is too fast.

"It was very fast, and after a large group of envoys arrived in Licheng in the morning, they also brought a strange edict. Dao Hanqing's expression was complicated when he spoke, a little funny, a little sad.

When he was a child, Jiang Ning asked his mother how many people there were in the Tang Kingdom. Her mother replied that there were nearly four billion households, households, not mouths, and Jiang Ning did not speak for most of the day, frightened by this number.

Later, I learned that this amount is not more, but less.

Just like the current Moon Dynasty, there are nearly 20 billion households, but this number includes the Desolate Tribe, the Rain Tribe, and the Qiang Tribe, which live together with the human race, and these races will not necessarily rebel, and their loyalty will definitely be insufficient. If these people are deducted, the number of human races is only 156 billion.

This number still sounds very huge, but it can't be compared with the Blue Star in the previous life, this is a world that is many times larger than the Blue Star, just the Moon Dynasty, it is equivalent to hundreds of times the total land area of the Blue Star in Jiangning's previous life, and nearly a thousand times the land area suitable for human habitation!

The white bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, this is the population situation of the three kingdoms in Jiangning's previous life. However, the population density of the Yue Dynasty was not as high as that of the Three Kingdoms, and it was even evenly apportioned, and there was only one family within a radius of several miles. And the territory of the Moon Dynasty can be said to be the most suitable place for human habitation in the world.

Or compared with the heyday of the Great Yan Empire, the Great Yan Empire has more than 100 million households, but this household is different from household, when the Great Yan Empire was at its peak, a household could reach an average of ten people, and now the average number of people in a household in the Moon Dynasty is only four or five, just like Aunt Li's mother and daughter have only two people, and they can be regarded as one family. That is, the actual population density is less than one-twentieth of the Great Yan Empire.

Ye Chen reported the Shiliangshan ambush case to the imperial court, and the important ministers of the imperial court began to discuss countermeasures.

The head of the Huang family of the Moon Dynasty said something.

Thousands of years of war, all industries withered, sparsely populated. Except for the Gyeonggi region, ninety percent of the other citylords' mansions can really control the scope of each county city, as well as the suburbs not far from the city, as long as it is more than one or two hundred miles away from the city, the castle lord's palace cannot control.

The main reason is that there are too few people, if there are also dense people in the suburbs of Licheng County, do these enemies dare to rob the five coffins, and they have to be transported away, but there are people everywhere, and there are eyes everywhere, how to transport them?

And if there are more people, you can produce more armor, more food, and more troops.

If it is like the Great Yan Empire, even if fifty households draw one ding for soldiers and another four for logistics escorts, the burden of the people is within the scope of tolerance. Billions of armies go north or south, and only the weapons in the hands of soldiers can fill the northern wilderness and cut off the snowy desert.

So the Moon Dynasty issued a decree: the woman is seventeen unmarried, the man is twenty unmarried, the widower is under fifty, and the widow is under forty, the lord of the city will distribute it, and the married person will allow him to build a house.

Men of the Moon Dynasty reached adulthood at the age of twenty, and women reached adulthood at the age of seventeen.

Young men who have not yet married at the age of twenty, maidens who have not yet married by the age of seventeen, widowers under the age of fifty, widows under the age of forty, and widows under the age of forty, will be forcibly matched by the lord's palace.

In addition, even if it is in the suburbs, in the city, no matter who builds a house, theoretically it must be approved by the city lord's office and pay some handling fees. But now, as long as you build a "wedding house", as long as the size and height of the house meet the standards, you don't need to report and pay the handling fee.

Jiang Ning was stunned at first, then laughed.

What a familiar scene......

"Alas, alas," Dao Hanqing sighed.

Jiang Ning suddenly came to his senses.

The Moon Dynasty's central purpose doesn't work for everyone.

First of all, the various sects, the sects are nominally subordinate to the forces of the Moon Dynasty, but many sects are half outside the Moon Dynasty.

This semi-free ...... If there are special circumstances in the Moon Dynasty, such as war, or to wipe out large bandit gangs, or other circumstances, such as the ambush of Shiliang Mountain, the sect will also obey the orders of the Moon Dynasty and dispatch people to help. But in normal times, local governments do not have the right to transfer these sects at will, and even a sect like Sanshanmen, which has a close relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, also has some privileges.

Orthodox sects have disciples who get married, but people don't call it marriage, but double cultivation. There are thousands of cultivation methods in itself, and some methods have many taboos, and this middle purpose is useless to the sect.

There is also a group of people, the Moon Dynasty is highly hierarchical, various families, sects, and ordinary people, but there are many people below these people. The first is the subordinates of each master's family, these people and the nature of the master's family is equivalent to the relationship between the landlord and the tenant farmer, the capitalist and the worker, and nominally belongs to the master's family, just like the Jiang family, who originally took some money from the knife insurance before ransom them. However, these people also have some personal freedom, or let's put it this way, if the original Jiang family has to break away from the original main family, the original main family will have nothing to do, but there is no need to do this with knife insurance, and it doesn't cost much anyway. The group of Dao Family's descendants in Daojiabao also belong to this nature.

There is also a group of people below the subordinates, that is, the slaves and slaves of the various masters, these people are "not people", but the private property of each master's family, and the master's family even decides their life and death at will. "Not a man", it is property, and this decree will certainly not work for these slaves and slaves.

There is also a group, the Pinjia, which is not a Pinjia like the Dao Family, but a real door-to-door. For example, the three major six-rank families in Licheng, as well as several seven-rank families such as the Niu family, if the women of these families do not find a suitable partner, or if the young man is in the rising stage and does not want to get married for the time being, the city lord's mansion dares to forcibly match them?

Dao Hanqing obviously doesn't have this qualification, he is twenty-one years old, he is not married, and he will wait for the City Lord's Mansion to forcibly match it when the time comes.

Jiang Ning thought for a while and asked, "After the decree is posted, what is the situation in the city?"

In the morning, a large group of envoys came to Licheng, and the edict was immediately posted.

The city was in chaos, and there was no movement at the Sanshan Gate, but how many people could there be at the Sanshan Gate? It can be said that ninety percent of the people in the city were covered by this central decree.

Here's the problem...... Parents want their sons to marry a good daughter-in-law and their daughters to marry a good family. Seventeen-year-old girls seem to be adults, but they are actually very young, and there are little girls in the city who have not yet married after the age of seventeen, and there are also many young people who have not married after the age of twenty.

What's even worse is that because of the millennium war, the Moon Dynasty has always been more women than men, and after a forcibly matched decree was issued, it was impossible to really let the city lord's mansion give a strong match, so the envoy came to Licheng from the morning, and after the decree was posted, the city was full of people who proposed relatives.

It is not the man who proposes marriage to the woman's family, but the woman's family who proposes marriage to the man's family. Even several big families, including the Xiong family, the Zhong family, and the Xiao family, were also involved, although they could ignore this central purpose, they also had to make an appearance.

Some slightly better men's homes have asked matchmakers to break the threshold, including Dao Hanqing, and in less than a day, nearly 100 families have sent matchmakers to propose to Dao Hanqing's mother. There is no dowry anymore, not only do you not want a dowry, as long as your son marries my daughter, my family will take the initiative to give you a certain dowry.

After the matching order was issued, there were more women than men in the Yue Dynasty, and there were many men, and girls from good families may not be able to look at them, such as some lazy people, gamblers, and people whose families are too poor, at least marry them, and they can't starve to death and freeze to death.

Therefore, these people not only wanted to marry their daughters to Dao Hanqing, but some people pondered for a while, and said directly to the Jiang family, I will give my daughter to your son as a concubine.

Dao Hanqing is a battalion general, and his reputation in Licheng is also good, and there must be more people who propose marriage, but not only Dao Hanqing, including Da Mao Ermao, who was taken in by Jiangning, because there is no engagement, there are also people who come to the door to propose to Aunt Li.

Jiang Ning laughed again.

"Second brother, don't laugh, widows under the age of forty are also going to get married, Aunt Li is worried. ”
