After speaking, Yichen was about to retreat, but he heard a sudden commotion outside the door, and the bursts of shouts had already overshadowed the sound of the rain.

Outside, it was pouring rain, and from time to time there was lightning and thunder.

Yichen strode to the door, and at a glance he saw a large group of people.

"Monogamy! Monogamy!"

It was a group of plainly dressed men, and at a glance, there were at least seventy or eighty people, and behind that group of people, there were many people watching the excitement with umbrellas.

Because the tavern was surrounded by soldiers, the group of people crowded across the tavern when they passed by, but they didn't take a few steps, and they still shouted loudly.

"Abolish polyandry and concubines! Abolish three wives and four concubines!"

"Must be monogamous!"

"Monogamy!"

The men's voices were loud and loud, shouting and clenching their fists in protest.

Soon, in the houses on both sides of the road, many people poked their heads out to see the excitement.

This movement naturally also attracted Liu Shengsheng and Nan Muze.

After eating and drinking, it was not good to sit all the time, so Liu Shengsheng followed to the door, looking at the mighty crowd outside the door, he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What's going on?"

Yichen shook his head, "I don't know, it looks like I'm rebelling against something......

Nan Mu Ze said, "They are rebelling against the system of three wives and four concubines."

Yichen sneered, "Since ancient times, men have three wives and four concubines, these men are crazy, right? I rebelled against this ......."

Liu Shengsheng also said meaningfully: "Isn't the real beneficiary of the three wives and four concubines a man? Why are these men still resisting?"

Several people were a little confused.

But Du Tingyun walked behind them at some point, and said in a cold tone, "The city lord here, doesn't he know that this prince is resting here? Don't you want people to deal with it soon?"

The attendant next to him lowered his head, and after a while, he silently retreated.

A moment later, a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man led a large group of people to the front of the group.

Without saying a word, more than 100 soldiers surrounded the group of men, and the middle-aged man in the lead was furious.

"How many times have I warned you? If you dare to mess around, you will be sent to the city lord in the dungeon!"

The rain was pouring down, and the men were already soaking wet.

The man standing at the front was tall and tall, and even if he was washed by the rain, he could barely see that his facial features were very delicate. Look at the book

I only heard him say angrily, "Why do you dignitaries have three wives and four concubines? And it is difficult for us ordinary people to even marry a daughter-in-law? There are already more men and fewer women in Huicheng, and if this continues, we ordinary people will not want to pass on the ancestry!"

As soon as the leading man spoke, the man behind him immediately responded.

"Yes, why can you have three wives and four concubines? And we're going to be alone for the rest of our lives?"

"The situation in Huicheng is so bad, as the city lord, you should set an example by taking fewer concubines, and let all those rich and noble families have fewer concubines, and also give us ordinary people some opportunities!"

"Abolish polyandry and triple wives and four concubines!"

"We want to be equal! We want monogamy!"

「……」

There was a lot of commotion on the street, and Yichen sneered, "It turns out that there are more men and fewer women in this city, and these ordinary people are quite good at making trouble."

Du Tingyun next to him nodded, "Yes, it seems that these men can't marry their daughters-in-law to make this fuss."

Liu Shengsheng frowned, "How did such a big city cause more men and fewer women?"

Yichen whispered, "Now there are more men and fewer women in many places, which is normal."

Liu Shengsheng was shocked, is there such a thing?

Feeling her curiosity, Yichen explained in a low voice: "Men are inferior to women in the world, no matter where they are, they value baby boys more, especially from poor families, most people will feel that it is useless to have a girl, only to give birth to a son is useful."

"Some even found out that it was a baby girl and threw it away, or secretly drowned, the smaller the place, the more such things, over time, naturally there are more men and fewer women."

After a pause, he added, "But in this world, there are not only men who are inferior to women, but also strong men, such as rich and powerful men, who not only have many maids to serve, but also have three wives and four concubines, and it is not uncommon for a man to have several women......

"The poorer the family, the more they think that only sons can carry on the lineage, so the poorer the place, the more men, the more boys, so as to form a cycle, those poor little places, there are fewer and fewer female dolls, and naturally there is a group of old men who can't find a daughter-in-law."

After listening to Yichen's explanation, Liu Shengsheng understood the roughly.

So there was such a thing......

As a modern person, she has always thought that this kind of place in ancient times was only unfriendly to women, and it turned out that it was also so unfriendly to men.

If those ordinary men come to this world, not only will they not be able to have three wives and four concubines, but they will not even be able to find a daughter-in-law......

Who would have thought that?

I heard Yichen say helplessly: "In the past, when the world was in turmoil, men had to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and in every war, countless men would be killed and injured, so the ratio of men and women was also balanced."

"But in recent decades, everywhere has lived and worked in peace and contentment, men do not need to go to war, and the number of survivors is particularly large, but female dolls are still the same as before, most of them are either thrown away or buried at birth, and very few can grow up safely, so it will gradually form a situation of more men and fewer women."

"At present, only this city is led by someone who is leading the resistance, and if it continues like this, maybe more and more cities will break out in this kind of ......

Before Yichen's words were finished, Du Tingyun said coldly: "What nonsense, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you tolerate these Diao people making such nonsense?"

Yichen glanced at him and didn't speak.

He said with a serious face: "The world is respected by the strong, and the women in the world are like resources, and they should live by the side of the strong!

People live for a mouthful of food, those men don't work hard themselves, they don't have the ability, and some even can't eat enough, why do they ask everyone to be like them?

Why do you think that if monogamy is practiced, women will willingly go with them?

To tell the truth, most women would rather be concubines of the strong than marry the weak!"

Du Tingyun's tone was full of disdain, and then he said, "These people, instead of thinking about how to strengthen themselves, instead think about robbing the resources of the strong, it's just whimsical!"

The men in front of them were still yelling and making noise.

"Why is it that a rich and powerful person not only has three wives and four concubines, but can also invite many, many women to be maids, while a man without power and power can not marry a daughter-in-law after exhausting his life savings?"

"That's right, why can't we ordinary people marry a daughter-in-law after most of our lives, but you people can have a full house of wives and concubines while lying at home?"

"It's not fair!"

"Our village is very poor, there are very few female dolls, our whole village hopes to practice monogamy, and we hope that the rich people will stop taking concubines, and now the girls in the village would rather go to the rich families as concubines and maids than marry us ordinary people, so that none of us can marry daughters-in-law."

"The best way is to abolish polyandry and concubines, everyone can only marry one, and only when it is compulsorily can we ordinary people have a chance!"

"Yes! It has to be monogamous! Everyone is equal at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Our poor lives matter!"

"That is, we, the common people, also need to pass on the ancestry!"
