"What you say, Da Miu!"

In the debate square, a scholar stood up, refuted Zuo Qiu Ming's statement, and said loudly: "The women in the room have been criminals in ancient times."

"So far, in the kingdom of the heavens, between the four fields, and within the high gate, there are not many female cadres."

"Restrained only by etiquette, I'm afraid that the trend of women doing wrongdoing is still prevalent!"

"This kind of woman can't do it for long. I, the Wu people, should abide by the law and discipline, start from a small age, and grow from small to large, so I think that we should put an end to the trend of women doing wrongdoing, and formulate punishments!"

"If a woman commits wrongdoing, the woman shall be punished with fifty canes and detained for one year. A man will be punished with a hundred rods, and he will be exiled to the border for three years!"

"Set an example and show the severity of the punishment!"

As soon as these words came out, the scholars present couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.

In their view, such a punishment would be too severe.

After all, unmarried women fornicating with others, or even getting pregnant before marriage, this kind of thing is common in all parts of Wu and in the world.

Why is there such a harsh punishment to crack down on such female wrongdoing?

"What the gentleman said is unfair."

Zuo Qiu Ming got up again and retorted: "As you said, sir, in the kingdom of the heavens, between the four fields, and within the high gate, there are no ordinary women."

"I heard that in Yandi, as well as in the Guanzhong, Southwest, and Lingnan areas of my Wu Kingdom, there are people from the countryside who stay with foreign surnames as little girls in order to have children.

"This ......"

The scholar was speechless for a moment.

There are a lot of such things.

Common!

As far as Qingji knows, like the Qin people, they were neighbors with dogs in their early years, and they killed and fought each other for generations.

At the same time, it produced mixed blood, and customs and habits influenced each other, so that the Qin people had some nomadic temperament.

When Wu Zhou invaded the Shang, the Qin tribe was loyal to the Shang Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, it was severely suppressed and excluded from the Central Plains cultural circle, so it culturally maintained more of the original characteristics of Rongdi.

Serving guests with women was not a special case in this era, and the Yan State on the border also had this custom.

Moreover, in the south of Wu State, there are still some mountain village tribes that still retain this bad habit.

The scholars knew about this kind of thing.

And they may have all done it, intercourse with the women of the country house.

Scholars are a profession with a bright future, and they are admired by ordinary people, just like the "showmen" and "lifters" of later generations, so in the eyes of the common people at the bottom, the scholars have excellent genes, and let their daughters give birth to a son and a half daughter with him, maybe they can become scholars in the future......

It is worth mentioning that the theory of women's innocence was advocated by Cheng Zhu Lixue, which was formed in the Song Dynasty.

"Guests pass by, and women stay overnight. On the eve of marriage, there is indeed a custom that there is no distinction between a man and a woman."

At this time, Li Ke stood up and saluted to Zuo Qiu Ming, "This is a bad habit. If the new law is introduced, such bad habits must be eradicated, so that the trend of women doing wrongdoing will disappear in our country from now on!"

"Hehe, dare to ask what Mr. is called?"

"Under Rick!"

"Oh, it turned out to be a plum, and I have admired the daimyo for a long time!"

Zuo Qiu Ming saluted Li Ke.

Li Ke, who is in his twenties, as a disciple of Deng Xi, is well-known in Xianyang and even in Wuguo.

He did not become a scholar, but he traveled all over the world all year round to learn so that he could enrich his experience and broaden his knowledge.

"What are the feet?"

"Lu people, Zuo Qiu Ming."

"Qiuzi, I've heard of you. Qiuzi's words are really sharp, but why do you stick to the theory of etiquette? As far as I know, Zushi is not a child of Confucianism, so why do you respect Confucianism so much?"

Hearing this, Zuo Qiu Ming said, "The learning of a hundred schools of thought, each has its own strengths. Although I am not a disciple of Confucius, I also advocate Confucianism and have a desire to learn!"

"Shicai Li Zi, you said that there are "guests who have passed each other and stayed with women" in various parts of Wu Kingdom, but Li Zi can know, what is the reason?"

Li Ke said slowly, "I understand it below. The people of the countryside, who live in the middle of nowhere, or a dozen or dozens of families, are relatives of the same ancestry, and have lived there for generations."

"If you have the same surname and are not married, how can you be so close by blood?"

Therefore, they "passed by the guests, and stayed with their wives."

"Good!"

Zuo Qiu Ming nodded, agreeing with Li Ke's statement, but after a change of words, he said, "Li Zi, since you know that there is such a custom in some places in Wu Kingdom, and it is a last resort, so that 'guests pass each other and stay overnight with women', why do you have to make laws to prohibit women from doing wrong?"

"Isn't this forcing some Li Shu to change their customs, or even have to go out of the mountains and stay away from their homeland?"

Hearing this, Li Ke said vigorously: "Since it is my people of Great Wu, it is a great blessing for them to obey the king's orders, obey the laws of the country, and go out of the mountains to live outside!"

「……」

Zuo Qiu Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Good!"

"Asai!"

The soldiers in the square cheered and cheered.

"Li Zi is right, although the king did not force those Rong barbarians to change their customs, there are some bad habits, but it is unacceptable."

"If this method can force them to get out of the mountains and live with us Wu people, it would be more suitable!"

"That's a lot to count!"

"No, I still think that it is too serious to enact legal sanctions in order to prohibit women from engaging in illegal activities."

When the scholars had different opinions, Zuo Qiu Ming was still not convinced, so he glanced at Li Ke and argued: "Today, the grass eucalyptus special train has no husband and woman to commit the crime, and the one who has no husband and woman is guilty, it is a big loss!"

"If you think you are sinful, you are not fit to do to the hearts of men. Dare to ask Li Zi, if a woman does something wrong, what crime does a woman commit? What is the crime of a man? Should his parents be punished for their lax discipline?"

"Good!"

Zuo Qiu Ming's sharp words stopped Li Ke, and the scholars couldn't help but have their eyes shining, and they all supported Zuo Qiu Ming.

Li Ke thought for a moment, and then said, "If a woman does wrong, both men and women should be punished, and their parents should be punished."

"Okay. I'll give you an example of plums!"

Zuo Qiu Ming squinted his eyes and said, "If one day, a man and a woman do wrong, and the East Window incident happens, and the woman's father kills the female godfather, may I ask, is the woman's father guilty?" How should it be dealt with?"

When Li Ke heard this, he thought about it and replied, "The woman's father killed someone and should be killed. If you commit manslaughter, you don't have to pay for your life, and if you deliberately kill someone, you have to pay for it!"

Zuo Qiu Ming said with a smile: "If there is such a thing, I am afraid that the people will be in an uproar and provoke ***!"

"Why?"

Rick was a little puzzled.

"The fornication of a man and a woman is a woman's wrongdoing, which means that the woman of a man and a woman is not guilty. And the woman's father is killing the criminal by killing the woman's man, and this is also a crime?"

"It shows that the man who does not do it is an ordinary person, so Li Zi, the woman you said is not a crime...... Not true!"
