Chapter 230: Coming up with an idea
He clutched his wrist and looked up at the guards not far away.
The guard drew his sword neatly and easily cut off the big man's wrist.
"You dare to do something to our son-in-law, who are you? What a daring! ”
Hearing the guard say this, the big man trembled and raised his other hand and pointed at Chen Mu.
Because of the pain, he couldn't spit out a word, and after a while, he fainted in pain.
"Where does this man live?"
Chen Mu turned his head and glanced at the woman, who saw this, slowly stood up and pointed to the end of the alley.
Her house was in the depths of this alley, and the man just pulled her by the hair, pulled her out of the house, and said that he was going to divorce her.
He said that she was unwilling to take out the ten taels of silver, so he beat her to death.
The woman remembered that the ten taels of silver would take a whole year, and said that she was not willing to give it to the big man.
In the end, if it weren't for Chen Mu's subordinates showing up, he was afraid that he would really be killed by that big man.
Chen Mu saw the woman dragging her feet pitifully, walking towards the depths of the alley.
Chen Mu frowned, turned his head and glanced in the direction of the two adults.
The two adults pondered for a moment, and immediately understood what Chen Mu meant, and one of the adults turned around and left in a hurry, and after a while, they invited the county order to come over.
Although the county order did not recognize Chen Mu, but the two adults he recognized, when talking to the two adults, they were so frightened that they trembled and were honestly afraid.
He didn't know why these two adults from the capital came to their town.
Seeing that the two adults were respectful to Chen Mu, the county order was even more frightened, and he also saw that Chen Mu was born in a powerful family.
"This man wants to divorce this woman, is this woman's maiden family from this town?"
"This man is about to kill this woman, and I see that this woman still has old wounds."
"If something happens to their family again, I also hope that you, as the county magistrate, can come forward to make adjustments."
Chen Mu thought about it for a while, frowned, and said to the county order.
When the county magistrate heard this, he also nodded in response.
Chen Mu sighed heavily and glanced at the woman again.
The woman clenched her sleeves, obviously not wanting to be suspended.
But Chen Mu looked at the woman pitiful, but he still persuaded two more words.
"Rather than being beaten to death, or living with such a person for the rest of your life, it is better to find a better way out for yourself as soon as possible."
Way out?
That's easy to say.
When the woman heard Chen Mu say this, tears fell in her eyes,
Where can a woman like her find a way out?
If she is really repaired, no man will want her in the future, and she has no way to go back to her parents' house.
Although her mother's family also has good land, the good land is left to her brother and younger brother.
She didn't have the right to go home at all, and when that time came, she would have to sleep on the streets, freezing to death and starving to death.
The woman seemed to think of her fate, and there was a sudden excitement, and a little sadness appeared in her eyes.
Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh when he saw her like this.
The county magistrate on the side saw Chen Mu's eyes heavy, and after muttering for a while, he finally stepped forward.
He only thought that this person was a person from a high-ranking family in the capital, and he didn't understand how hard these peasant women lived.
The county commander took a step forward and spoke.
"I also know that you are a philanthropic person, but the affairs of these farmers are not something we can manage."
"On the one hand, this is a family affair after all, and on the other hand, even if we take care of it, this lady is really separated from her husband and divorced by her husband, and she has no other way out in the future."
"Now that she stays with her husband, she can still have a place to live and food under her husband's protection."
"But if her husband divorces her in the future, she will have nowhere to go, and when that time comes, I am afraid she will not be able to think about it."
"In our village, there are many women who have been divorced by their husbands, and they have all gone to the wilderness and hanged themselves with a roll of white silk......
Chen Mu's eyelids jumped when he heard the county order say this, and he immediately raised his head to look in the direction of the county order.
What? How can there be such a thing?
But on second thought, it doesn't seem impossible.
In ancient times, it was the water spilled by the daughter who got married.
After those women were married, they felt disgraced when they were repaired by their husbands' families.
In the future, it will be difficult to find someone to marry again, and there is no way out, so it is natural to despair.
The most fundamental reason is that I am not able to support myself.
If you have the ability, you naturally won't feel that this marriage is nothing.
Chen Mu frowned, glanced in the direction of the woman again, and then he spoke.
"Is there any industrial craft in your town that a woman can do? For example, silkworm raising, spun cloth embroidery. ”
When the county commander heard Chen Mu say this, he blinked blankly, and then immediately came back to his senses.
He shook his head silently, their town was a large agricultural town, and there were not many women or craftsmen who were good at this craft.
"There are quite a few people in our town who raise wild animals, or chickens and ducks, and everyone else farms at home."
"There is a lot of fertile land around our town, and everyone has good land to rely on, and no one does this kind of work."
"But then again, I have heard that several cities in the northwest have started to raise silkworms and weave cloth, and some people from above have ordered the local county guards to send craftsmen who are responsible for teaching women to weave and spin."
"Let those people teach the local women this trade and trade, I have heard that many people have already begun to learn it, and I think they will be able to rely on this skill in the future, but there are not many people in our town who are good at this craft."
The towns that the county commander mentioned in the mouth of the sericulture and weaving industry are the pilot towns that Chen Mu sent people to set up mulberry fish ponds some time ago.
Chen Mu also knew that the county guard had found a craftsman who was good at imitation cloth spinning to teach local women to learn this skill.
After all, he still gave this order, and now he frowned when he heard the county order say this.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the county commander say with a smile.
"But then again, the people above are really forward-looking, and I heard that after the local peasant women learned this skill, many of them went to the towns to spin and weave cloth."
"In this way, the family has more income, and many families are richer, and the people above are still smart."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really wise and powerful, we heard that the idea of raising chickens and ducks to control locusts in the villages not far from our town was also from His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Tsk...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really the birth of Zi Weixing! ”
This county order is to admire Chen Mu from the bottom of his heart, and now in front of several Beijing officials, the sycophants are said one by one, without being stuck at all.
