Chapter 157: The Widow Remarries
"Good!"
Qingji adopted Wu Zixu's proposition.
He decided that all orphans of Wu could be gathered in Wu to form an army, that is, to implement militarized management, and daily tuntian drills were indispensable.
In this way, the orphans have been raised by the state since childhood, baptized by the military, and will be able to unswervingly loyal and patriotic and become a powerful trump card in the hands of Qingji.
What's more, it is necessary for Qingji to be able to build the orphan camp into a professional army, an army with super high military literacy!
Just as Qingji was about to turn back to the Six Imperial Carriages and enter Meili City, a young woman suddenly ran out of the crowd and rushed towards Qingji with a brisk walk.
"King! The women are wronged! ”
The nearby guards hurriedly blocked the young woman and pointed the long ge at her, and if the latter dared to act rashly, he would surely splatter five steps of blood and die on the spot.
The woman threw herself on her knees with a thud, just shouting out for injustice!
"What grievances do you have? Although. ”
It was rare to meet a sue for the emperor, and Qingji was interested, so he asked the young woman to come close and say.
Seeing this scene, the Meili County Commander on the side was embarrassed, obviously he knew what was going on!
I saw this woman weeping and wiping her tears, and said, "Great king, the women of the people are wronged! ”
"The woman died two years ago and never remarried. I don't want the new law to be promulgated, but the government actually ordered the women to remarry or levy additional taxes, and the parents of the women are guilty! ”
"The women were forced to be helpless, and they repeatedly sued, but they were desperate."
"Please let the king be the master of the people's wife!"
After that, the young woman fell on the ground again, and she wept so much that people felt pity.
Seeing this, Qingji was speechless.
"Why can't you remarry?"
"Returning to the king, the woman is already a widow, but she misses her deceased husband and has no favorite, how can she remarry?"
The woman had a point.
According to the modern view, the state cannot interfere with private marriage.
But, this is in the Spring and Autumn period, is ancient!
The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker.
How can Qingji let the people of the country pursue free love?
If everyone can't have early births, how can the population of Wu increase?
Without population as the foundation, how can the state of Wu be truly strong and prosperous?
Therefore, in terms of reasonableness, Qingji can only pity this woman's suffering, but he must put the interests of the country first and leave all personal compassion behind.
"Do you know that in the new law of my Wu Kingdom, there is an item to encourage childbirth?"
Qingji said patiently: "If you keep being single and determined not to remarry, what will benefit the country?" What's good for home? ”
Hearing this, the woman choked up and said, "My lord, the women of the people know that what they are doing is contrary to the new law. ”
"However, the new law only clearly stipulates that a woman must marry 17, and the woman is indeed over 20 years old, but the woman is already married to a woman, so why should the parents of the woman be guilty and levy the woman's oral endowment?"
The woman had apparently learned some of the new laws of the state of Wu.
The new law stipulates that the government will give wine, dogs or dolphins to congratulate those who give birth, and send a doctor to take care of the pregnant woman when she gives birth!
On the date of promulgation of the decree, the existence of old husbands and young wives or young wives and young wives is strictly prohibited, and those that have already existed will not be investigated.
However, since then, the Chinese are not allowed to marry an old woman with a man in the prime of life, or an old man is not allowed to marry a strong woman, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!
Again, when a woman reaches the age of seventeen and a man reaches the age of twenty, she must marry, or her parents will be guilty and the payment of the oral allowance will be doubled......
It all looks fine.
The woman is really picking bones in the cracks of eggs, looking for loopholes in the new law to exploit loopholes!
Vexatious!
Qingji's face immediately turned straight, and he said slowly: "You are now a surviving person, and you are in your prime, why can't you remarry?" ”
"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about your parents and children, your future, your deceased husband, and the country!"
"Your deceased husband is in the spirit of heaven, and I expect to see you widowed and lonely?"
"Thou shalt guard thyself like jade, and say that thou shalt be chaste, but in fact thou hast no compassion for the country, no compassion for yourself, and no compassion for others!"
"The government blames your parents for the crime, and you are levied on your mouth, why is it forgivable?"
Hearing this, the woman was speechless, so she could only bow her head silently, sad.
Qingji knows that he must not be soft-hearted about such incidents.
As soon as this opening is opened, widows will not remarry in the future, and men will not continue to renew the strings, why will the population of Wu increase rapidly?
Love?
Qingji didn't care about any of this at all.
It's not that he doesn't believe in love, but true love is precious.
In Qingji's view, love at first sight is almost equivalent to falling in love at first sight, and love over time is king!
This person is everywhere, how can he not secretly feel affection?
The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches your thirst!
A widowed widow?
This is not allowed to exist in the state of Wu at this time!
Qingji immediately said to the left and right: "Second and third sons, according to the widow's opinion, the local government can hold a blind date meeting once or twice a year, and order all local men and women of appropriate age to participate, either to marry or to marry, and widows are not exempt from vulgarity. ”
"The king is wise!"
Qingji is already trying to increase the population of Wu and increase the marriage rate of men and women in Wu.
Therefore, the official organization of blind date activities, that is essential!
No matter how bad it is, Qingji can be allocated by the state, so that men should marry and women should marry.
……
Qingji stayed in Meili for three days, during which he worshiped the mausoleums of the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom, inspected the streets, and observed the people's feelings.
Overall, Merry's sensuality to Keji is still good.
After all, most of the people who live here are old Wu people who are full of loyalty and patriotism, dare to fight and die, and can give their lives for Qingji!
That alone gave Qingji enough reason to be kind to these Merites.
After leaving Meili, the next stop of Qingji's patrol was the line of Yu'er and Wuyuan in the south.
It is the junction of Wu and Vietnam, and it belongs to the frontier land.
Therefore, Qingji plans to meet with Yue Wang Yunchang on the Yu'er River to talk about Wu Yue's goodness.
After all, he is an old neighbor, and Qingji is Yunchang's fast son-in-law, and he can't say anything if he doesn't see him.
Therefore, as early as before the tour, Qingji had already expressed his willingness to meet with Yue Wang Yunchang to the envoy of the meeting.
At this time, in the capital of the Yue Kingdom, in the palace of the Yue King, Yun Chang summoned the two of Da Sima Shimai and Da Si Kou Luming to discuss his meeting with Qingji.
"The widow wants to meet with Qingji in Yu'er River, but I don't know, how should I treat Qingji?"
Yun Chang frowned and asked his two important ministers.
Upon hearing this, Shi Mai and Lu Ming glanced at each other, and they both knew in their hearts why Yun Chang was worried.
Qingji, it may not be good!
