Yuan Xi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but when he looked at it, he saw that all his subordinates nodded in agreement, and he finally understood why Cao Cao was a good wife.

In fact, not only Cao Cao, but also from the incident of Guan Yu begging for Qin Yilu's wife, it can be seen that the entire Han Dynasty was in such an atmosphere.

There is only one reason, in order to reproduce, a woman who has given birth to a child has an advantage over a girl who has never given birth.

Not only in the Han Dynasty, but also in ancient times before the Ming and Qing dynasties, the key to the problem lies in the danger of childbirth in ancient times, and too many children died.

Having more children and raising more children can ensure that there are no more children, and having children is a ghost gate, and the lack of medical care makes it very dangerous for women to have children, and the danger for women who have given birth to children is much lower.

This is the reason why widows are more popular in ancient times, the mother of Emperor Wen of Han is a widow, and the mother of Emperor Wu of Han is also, until the Great Song Dynasty, the queen of Song Zhenzong is still a wife.

No one thinks this thing is bad, and there were even two prime ministers in the Song Dynasty who competed to marry a widow, escalating from a scolding war to exposing each other's old bottoms, and finally both of them were demoted.

And judging from the memorial arch of chastity built for women, it is mostly from the Qing Dynasty, not much in the Ming Dynasty, almost non-existent before the Song Dynasty, and the memorial arch is almost all to encourage filial piety, rather than chastity.

After this incident, the state pastoral government issued a notice in the afternoon of the same day, recruiting a number of Wuhuan and Xiongnu men and women, and after the examination, they entered the counties to work, and then selected candidates for Jinyiwei among these people.

All of a sudden, this matter was spreading, but a few days later, another news came out, and it was immediately confirmed by the state pastor's office, after the Southern Xiongnu Youxian King was beheaded, his wife Hutu was a concubine of the nobles Tulan by Yuan Xin.

After the battle last year, the Southern Xiongnu were forcibly divided into eight tribes, each of which moved to the four states under Yuan Xi's rule, where they lived with the Han people.

In view of the harsh jurisdiction of Cao Cao after Cao Cao divided the Southern Xiongnu into five tribes, which led to the successful rebellion of Liu Yuan in the end, Yuan Xi forbade anyone to sell the Xiongnu as slaves.

Cao Cao just didn't pay attention to this matter back then, and the life of the Huns was extremely miserable, so Liu Yuan responded to it, otherwise the Huns had been integrated for nearly a hundred years, how could they still hate the Western Jin Dynasty.

Yuan Xi was different, strictly forbidding the Hebei family and Haoqiang to treat the Huns as slaves, and all those who were found to have raided their homes won the support of the lower class of the Southern Xiongnu people in one fell swoop.

The same is true on the Wuhuan side, as for Tulan, who was accepted as a concubine, he belonged to the noble daughter of the various tribes of Hutu, at the age of twenty-eight, and gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl.

The Xiongnu Hutu tribes, belonging to the Yueshi tribe, were conquered by the Xiongnu in the Western Han Dynasty and integrated into the Huns.

also has black hair and black eyes, but Turan has a high nose and deep eyes, a gorgeous appearance, and a tall and fit figure, Yuan Xi is very satisfied when he sees it.

As for Wu Huan's side, Bun Dun wanted to marry his daughter to him, and after being scolded by him, he changed it to Su Shunji, the daughter of Su Fuyan.

Su Fuyan changed his Han surname to Su, and the name Shun Ji was the name he changed to his daughter, and he said proudly that he wanted to be Shunmin, so his daughter was called Shun Ji.

Yuan Xi also slandered him for being uneducated and taking a broken name after knowing it, but he didn't expect that this girl with a broken name would one day become his concubine.

Unconvinced, he went back to complain to his wife, and was blinded by Yuan: "Our daughter should be called Uncle Xianyi, that is his niece, how can she marry him." ”

Badun pouted and said, "Isn't the empress of Emperor Xiaohui his niece?" If you dislike our daughter, you will say it clearly, and you will block me with this, so I don't believe it. ”

The Yuan family had nothing to refute for a while, so they could only curse the stupid woman of Empress Lu for harming others and herself, how could there be any reason to force her granddaughter to marry her son, and she didn't want to be human, no wonder the Lu family was exterminated.

For this, Yuan personally wrote a letter to Yuan Xi, and after receiving the letter, Yuan Xi scolded helplessly, and ordered his niece to be brought in and recognized as an adopted daughter.

In fact, the daughter of Badun is only twelve years old, and the Han Dynasty women are more than ten years old, but very little, basically the two Han Dynasty still adhere to the etiquette system of the Zhou Dynasty, and the woman marries at twenty.

Of course, it is not copied, it is generally not less than sixteen years old, and there are many people who marry after the age of twenty, and the age at which men marry wives is significantly earlier.

Zhou Li stipulates that men marry at 30, but most of the men of the two Han Dynasty marry around 20, and the age gap between husband and wife is significantly narrowed.

"Lord, that kid has done something stupid, please spare him for the sake of his loyalty."

On this day, Yuan Xi was preparing for the relocation and was very busy, Gan Ning suddenly ran back from Liaodong and knelt straight in front of him to plead.

Yuan Xi pulled him up and asked puzzledly, "Didn't Gan Meng go to Jiangdong to recruit craftsmen?" Even if things don't do well, you don't have to ask for blame, how can everything go well, just come back safely. ”

Gan Meng is Gan Ning's general, brought out from Ba County, and grew up with Gan Ning since he was a child, and his relationship is very good.

Yuan Xi naturally wants to see Gan Ning's face, not to mention that there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, it's just whether the task has been completed or not.

Unexpectedly, Gan Ning whispered with an embarrassed face: "It's not that the matter hasn't been done well, it's that kid is too bold, snatched a woman back, and said that he would dedicate it to you." ”

"What???"

Yuan Xi looked at Gan Ning in surprise, and Xun Chen, who heard this, laughed and said, "Yes, I was saying that the lord should have more concubines, and if you rob it, you will send it to the lord." ”

Feng Ji, Xin Bi and others also laughed, and squeezed their eyebrows at Yuan Xi, not caring about Gan Meng's extraneous branches, Han Heng even praised Gan Meng: "I still think about the lord when I act outside, this guy deserves a reward." ”

Gan Ning was not happy at all, cramped for a moment, and said in a snort: "That woman is Sun Ce's concubine, Lujiang Qiao's family." ”

Yuan Xi almost didn't fall down for a while, Xu Shu grabbed Gan Ning's arm and asked anxiously, "Does Jiangdong know about this?" ”

Gan Ning shook his head and said: "I shouldn't know, Qiao's family lives alone in the small courtyard not far from his mother's house, there are only a few maids and servants in the family, and a few male servants in the front yard, Gan Meng just fell in love with a male servant in her family, who was an old craftsman who was a shipbuilder, and the other party was unwilling to be recruited and wanted to rob people, but when he saw Qiao's beauty, he wanted to give it to the lord to enjoy." ”

"Enjoy your head! How many times have I said it, if you want people to come voluntarily, how can there be any reason to tie people up? ”

Yuan Xi wanted to scold his mother angrily, needless to say that this woman was Da Qiao, although he also liked Da Qiao's beauty, but if this matter was spread, it would be strange if Sun Quan was not in a hurry with him.

I am not afraid of Sun Quan, but for the sake of a woman, I can't turn my face with Jiangdong, if I unite Sun Quan with Cao Cao, then I can't catch blind.
