Nowadays, the population of a village and town ranges from a dozen to several hundred, and if you are involved in it, you will die after all.

At the rate of killing hundreds or thousands a day, hundreds of thousands, or millions, will soon be accumulated.

Over the years, this big dry will ...... sooner or later It's over!

The Demon Suppression Division hurriedly reported the matter, and the imperial court realized the seriousness and hurriedly convened the capable officials to discuss countermeasures, and the cabinet also invited household officials to make some inquiries to understand the relevant situation.

The result was not good, because someone got the yellow book of the household department and found that the number of people involved in the law was far greater than expected.

"How can this be, I am a big man and a rich people, and the four seas are peaceful, how can there be so many men who are old and unmarried?"

"It should be that in recent years, the looms in the south have flourished, the cloth industry has flourished, and many female workers have been recruited, which has led to the delay in the marriage of a large number of daughters.

In addition, wealthy businessmen and tycoons are spending a lot of money and often enjoy luxury life, and more and more villagers are moving to the city to work, and they are naturally touched by the prosperity."

"Yes, those who have seen prosperity, no matter how difficult it is to live in poverty, they will naturally no longer be easily willing to be willing to live in the countryside of their wives and children.

Nowadays, men, women, and children are all valuing profit over separation, and even more, they still do long-term work in the master's house during the New Year's holidays, and it is even more difficult to settle down and settle down.

If a rural man has the opportunity to marry a big girl released by a wealthy family, he can get more dowry, and if he is a rural woman, he has the opportunity to enter a wealthy family as a concubine, even if he is just a good person, he is proud of life.

In this way, the young man and woman, who should have been their own children, look at each other and hate each other."

"In this way, a lonely man and a woman, full of grievances!"

Unconsciously, the marriage situation of this big cadre turned out to be a bit grim.

Everyone finally figured out why a place like Hujiazhuang was born so treacherous.

Li Yu learned about it, but he thought of a sentence.

"Heaven sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to itself and the people listen......"

Man is the soul of all things, with emotion, will, and even wisdom, which is the greatest treachery.

The spiritual power of man can guide the power of treachery.

Treacherous powers will chase people.

All these things make the treacherous scattered between heaven and earth will be attracted by the will of the underworld.

It's no wonder that since ancient times, there has been a saying that resentment becomes a ghost, and greed and hatred become demons.

Now that you know this, you have to deal with it.

The imperial court was quick to act.

……

"Da Qianlu, where a woman is double ten, and a man is twenty-two, he must get married, and if he is in the prime of life, he should be married again......

At the gates of the city, the vegetable market, and all kinds of public gathering places, officials put up new notices, attracting a large number of people to gather.

A literate person shook his head and read the words on the list, and was suddenly surprised to find that this was actually a strict urging of marriage ordered by the imperial court.

"How can there be such a thing, the imperial court actually controls the marriage of the people of Li."

"Brother Tai's words are wrong, this matter has existed since ancient times, and even there are clear provisions in my big cadre law, but it has always been treated leniently and has not been strictly enforced."

"Yes, "Zhou Li" contains, the age of women's marriage is 20 years old, during the Spring and Autumn War, in order to compete for hegemony, they have to marry early and have children early, and the age of women's marriage is stipulated to range from 14 to 15, and even more, when they grow to a certain height, they have to marry, otherwise they will be taxed, and they are not rich and noble, so they can't afford to delay." ….

"Yes, my dynasty also stipulated that the age of marriage is fourteen, and if you don't marry or marry after fifteen, you will have to pay a fine."

"There is such a rule? We haven't heard of it."

"Brother Tai is lonely and unheard, there used to even say that parents over seventeen years old do not marry, and the local officials will forcibly pull the media, and then you will not be able to pick and choose, no matter how tall or short, fat or thin, rich or poor, young or old, you have to obey your fate."

"What is this, there were still women in the Song Dynasty who didn't marry at fifteen, and their families sat on them, so they had to go to prison directly."

These people read one out of the words

It means that the imperial court wants to change its policy, forcibly urge marriage, or even force marriage.

Sure enough, after the official list was posted, everyone continued to read it and found that the government had issued the most stringent policy to crack down on lawlessness.

Basically, the penalty starts at the age of 15 and doubles the poll tax every year.

This also means that if a woman in a family is not married at the age of twenty, she will start with twice the poll tax at the age of fifteen, three times at the age of sixteen, four times at the age of seventeen, and so on.

When he was twenty years old, he directly arrested one of his parents and put him in prison until he got married.

If they are still unmarried after one year, they will be imprisoned by another relative and serve hard labor.

The same is true for men.

When everyone saw this, they shook their heads and said, "It's a good thing that the court is so enthusiastic, but if these methods are used, I'm afraid it will backfire."

……

Under the decree, in the holy capital, there were gongs and drums one after another, and they got married quickly.

This was an immediate effect, and many overage marryers hurriedly got things done, so as not to have to pay more money and even be arrested and sent to prison.

[In view of the general environment, Li Yu went to Beiya early in the morning to order, and met several teams to welcome relatives one after another, and he couldn't help but sigh that the imperial court's control over the holy capital was still very strong.

There are many dignitaries living here, and they are working to eliminate hidden dangers, lest the time come to the holy capital and involve the whole city.

If it really makes millions of people in the holy capital crowd into Hujiazhuang for dinner, it will really be a disaster.

Even the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was affected by this policy, and several servants and maids were assigned to marry by the housemother, Xiao Qingyue.

"These were originally set, and they were originally planned to be done after the year or in a few years, but I didn't think that the court would rush it, so I just hurry up."

In this regard, Xiao Qingyue is also indispensable.

However, the good times did not last long, and within a few days, both the people in the city and the Hou Mansion returned to their old state.

Li Yu inquired with his colleagues in the Demon Suppression Division, and learned that it would be difficult to continue this policy if it was implemented halfway, because there were many high-ranking officials and nobles in the Holy Capital City, and there were many maids and maids in the family, and there were groups of wives and concubines.

These people are all going to serve in the master's family, how can they easily take out and marry?

At best, it is just to send some maids and the like to the small servants in the family, and to give birth to children and slaves.

But how can those who are used to being used by young men, old men and officials, and even pampered tightly, be released?

Li Yu asked himself, but he refused to change it.

The other maids and maids are good to say, the maids they have used are such as the moon, cherry, Meishu, Huanting, and the concubine Huang Ying, although they are not so much to say that the heart is meaty, the baby is tight, but at least the possessiveness is strange, and they refuse to let go.

It's a huge Hou Mansion, and it's not that you can't afford it.

Parents are also counting on them to spread the branches and leaves of the Hou Mansion, and there is no need to do anything like beating mandarin ducks.

As for the officials in the workshop and the like, they can't control the head of the Hou Mansion, and they don't dare to manage it.......

Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods
