Chapter 302: Blind Date Conference
Qingji was ready to implement the second change in Wu, so he proposed to Sun Wu and Fan Li about the 20-level military merit title system, so that they could prepare early.
This time, Qingji has been planning for a long time in his heart.
It involves military, political, rule of law, education, economy and other fields, and its significance is far-reaching, not much worse than the first Wu Guoxin Law!
On the bustling streets of Jinling City, Qingji wore a regular uniform, dressed as a noble child, and paid a private visit with Sun Wu and Fan Li to observe the people's feelings.
Jinling is the capital of Wu State, although the capital has just been moved not long ago, but as early as when Jinling City began to take shape, a large number of Wu State Lishu have been moved, and merchants from all over the country have also heard the news to contribute to this emerging city.
"Sell fish! The sea bass, crucian carp, and carp that just came online this morning! Don't miss it when you walk by! ”
"Weapons! Weapons sold! Swords, axes, swords, halberds, and halberds are available. Strong, why not buy a sword to defend yourself? ”
"Cloth! The best cloth! There is the brocade of the ground, too! Come and take a look! ”
The street vendors are shouting hard, and from time to time a few customers will come over to take a look and give it a try.
At the end of the market, the three of them suddenly saw a banner hanging on a beam.
When I looked closely, I saw the banner reading "Blind Date Conference"!
What kind of fame is this?
Qingji was quite curious.
"It's ......"
Fan Li, who was on the side, smiled slightly and said, "Lord, have you forgotten?" My Wu country encourages childbirth and has a strict reward and punishment system, so before the beginning of the year, at the beginning of spring, the local government will organize a blind date meeting, so that men and women of appropriate age can participate, so as to tie the knot and become a good thing for a hundred years. ”
Qing Ji heard the words and bowed his head slightly.
He did issue such an edict.
In Wu's policy of encouraging childbirth, it is clearly stipulated that the government will give wine, dogs or dolphins to congratulate those who have given birth, and when the pregnant woman gives birth, a doctor will be dispatched to deliver the baby and take proper care!
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......
If this man and woman of appropriate age do not start a family, they are afraid that they will be punished by the government.
"Let's go, I'll take a look."
After living for so many years, Qingji is still the first time to participate in the blind date conference.
In the previous life, there was no such harsh birth policy, so it was okay for Qingji to remain single all the time.
As for now, when there are already a group of wives and concubines and more than ten children, how can they worry about their own relatives?
The same is true of Fan Li and Sun Wu.
is the so-called life of parents, the words of matchmakers.
With their identity, even if there is no matchmaker to introduce a partner, and there are no parents to marry a wife, there will be countless nobles who will break through the threshold and come to talk to them as matchmakers.
Therefore, the blind date conference is really quite unusual for them.
"Three, can there be a fish charm?"
The little guy guarding the gate asked.
The fish charm is the identity card of this era.
Naturally, the three of Qingji didn't go out with a fish talisman, and besides, if they took out their own fish talisman, wouldn't they frighten the people present?
This is contrary to the original intention of Qingji Weifu's private visit.
"I forgot to bring the fish charm......"
Just when the three of Qingji were about to retreat, the little guy just smiled slightly and said, "You can enter without a fish talisman." However, please pay a deposit, fifty dollars per person, and fill in your own name. ”
"Thank you."
Fifty dollars is not much, which is about the salary of an ordinary craftsman in a day.
Not long after, Qingji, Sun Wu, and Fan Li all entered the venue of the blind date conference.
Looking around, I saw that the venue was full of young men and women, the oldest was only in his twenties, and the youngest was only fifteen years old.
Such a blind date conference naturally has no matchmaker.
Their matchmaker, to be precise, the government.
The local government just provides them with a place to go on a blind date, and whether they can really start a family depends on their own creation!
There were already quite a few bold men who began to talk to the woman who looked pleasing to the eye.
Once you can speak, basically this marriage is done!
"Young uncle, Changqing, do you want to take a concubine?"
Qingji asked with interest.
"Excuse me."
Sun Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, my wife is enough of a headache. Another concubine, I'm afraid that the family will have no peace! ”
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect you to be a strict wife, Changqing."
This was something Qingji didn't expect.
"Young uncle, what about you?"
Fan Li shook his head and said, "Big ...... Lord, I already have a few wives and concubines, and I am afraid that I will not be able to keep myself busy. ”
Are they all so cowardly?
Qingji couldn't help but laugh a little.
In Wu's fertility policy, it was not explicitly stipulated that men could not take concubines and not have several concubines.
Therefore, as long as you can afford it, and the other party is willing, it is your own problem to marry a few concubines!
"Lord, behold, the maiden must be coming towards you."
At this time, Fan Li pointed to a plainly dressed girl who came from the lotus step not far away and smiled.
Qingji looked back and saw that the girl was really coming for him!
"Jun ...... Gentleman, I wonder if you have already married a wife? ”
The girl asked timidly like a frightened fawn.
The girl who is the right person and the young man has not seen many men, and this is the first time she takes the initiative to talk to a man, it is inevitable that she will have stage fright.
This surprised Qingji.
"I have a wife."
"Do you want a concubine to serve?"
The girl plucked up the courage to ask again.
Is this going to be your own concubine?
It's really a peach blossom that is coming, and I can't stop it!
Sun Wu and Fan Li beside him all looked at Qingji with a narrow look.
"Ahem!"
Qingji coughed lightly and said, "Girl, there are a few concubines in the next room, and this time I am accompanying my friends to go on a blind date." ”
"I see, excuse me."
The girl was very disappointed.
With the appearance of Qingji, Sun Wu, and Fan Li, as well as the clothes on their bodies, and the temperament they exude, there are really a lot of women who can be attracted.
Therefore, as soon as they entered the venue, many women came forward to ask one after another.
It's not okay to be a wife, and it doesn't matter if you're a concubine!
After all, looking at their clothes and extraordinary conversations, how can the girls not know that the three of them are either rich or expensive?
Seeing so many young girls from Yingying Yanyan coming up and boldly showing their love, the faces of the three of them turned green with fright.
I really shouldn't have come to join in the fun!
