Many emperors looked at the group of data, and then looked at the pictures of the generation being weaker than the generation released on the canopy, and they were terrified.

The First Emperor couldn't help frowning, he looked at Li Si: "All my Daqin women can read and write, become officials, farm, do business, and so on. ”

Li Si said while remembering: "Your Majesty is wise. ”

None of the Manchu civil and military forces objected.

After all, at this time, it was the Qin Dynasty, and it was still a time when a hundred schools of thought were contending, and the influence of Confucianism was not so great, and the oppression of women was actually the smallest among all dynasties.

Li Shimin looked at it and found a problem.

"Let's see, is it that women have become more and more petite since I became a Tang Dynasty?"

Zhenguan and the ministers all took a closer look, and it was really like this.

The figures of men and women in the Tang Dynasty were not much shorter than those in the previous dynasty, but since the Tang Dynasty, it has really fallen off a cliff.

What's going on?

Not only Li Shimin saw it, but many emperors after the Tang Dynasty also saw it.

Zhu Di saw it.

He asked his attendants to record the data, thinking that he would discuss it with his ministers later.

Wu Wu took out the data, and then said: "Those who have planted the land know that the more fertile the land, the better the crops will grow, and the farmers know that the land is carefully tended in order to be able to have a good harvest, so why don't you want to think about how many healthy children can they give birth to if they treat mothers so harshly, don't give them enough food, don't let them go out, and reduce their activities?" ”

This is a really difficult question.

The truth of worry-free is simple and simple, and anyone can understand it.

Even the illiterate people can hear it clearly.

A lot of people just discussed it.

"The fairy is right, the ground is not fertile, and no matter how good the seeds are, they will not grow good grain."

"Yes, we all want to plant high-quality fields, isn't it because of the high yield of high-quality fields?"

"You said that I will give our family a good meal now, and take her out and walk around every day, can she give birth to a healthy and smart son for me?"

Carefree took a deep breath and threw out a more serious question.

"In addition to the quality of the population, the suppression of women has also brought about a worse and more terrible social phenomenon. When women are restricted and cannot produce direct economic benefits, people will want to give birth to boys, not girls, every family has a boy and a girl, and many poor families, even those who are not poor, will drown and throw away girls when they give birth, and in the long run, the problem of the ratio of men and women will become more and more serious. ”

"Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, most places in the country had a very serious problem of imbalance between men and women, and even serious places where the ratio of men and women reached three to one, such as Changzhou County in Suzhou."

Worry-free also came up with the demographic data of many places in the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the ratio of men to women in many places above is 200 to 100, and even a few places have reached more than 300 to 100, many people feel shocked.

How many people can't marry a daughter-in-law, and there are many men who can't marry a daughter-in-law, what a big social problem.

"See, the ratio of men to women is three to one, a pair of mandarin ducks and a pair of bases, isn't it very good."

Belch?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What does the fairy mean by this, it sounds like a sarcasm, but what does it mean? I don't understand.

"Oh, I forgot that there are still many people who don't understand what it means, I'll explain it, a pair of mandarin ducks is very easy to understand, that is, men and women fall in love and form a family, what about a pair of bases? In fact, it's very understandable, three men and one woman, that one man and one woman form a family, what about the remaining two men? ”

Having said that, many spiritual people understand.

They couldn't help shouting: "So that's what it means, a pair of Ji is two men together......"

"Isn't this just a broken sleeve?"

"Yes." Worry-free nodded: "That's what you guessed, I can't marry a wife, and I don't want to be alone, so many of them are two men together." ”

Multiply......

I don't know how many people gasped, they didn't dare to think about it, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.

Especially those emperors in ancient times, they felt creepy when they thought about it.

This is worse than getting worse and worse.

There is only one normal family out of four, that is, only two out of four people can have children, and if a couple has two children, the population will be reduced by half.

There are still many couples who can't have two children, maybe several, but you must know that it is difficult to support the children in ancient times, and maybe these children will not survive.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was too serious.

The population problem has always been a big problem, and this is even more serious than fighting at the border gates.

Many emperors thought in their hearts that they had to elevate the status of women.

Wuwu took a sip and continued: "Don't think that a pair of mandarin ducks and a pair of bases are the most serious, the actual situation is even more serious than you think, because people are rich and poor, many high-ranking officials and nobles are monogamous and have multiple concubines, a man will occupy several women, and the rich and noble will have girls, how many women are occupied...... As a result, more men are unable to marry a daughter-in-law, and in some places, even a man in a village cannot marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Speaking of this, many people can't help but feel sad when they think about their own situation.

"Woo, we have five brothers in our family, and none of them can marry a daughter-in-law."

"I'm thirty years old, and I'm still a single."

"There are only a few female dolls in our village......"

", why drown the girl."

"They all want to have men, they all want to have men, how can they pass on their ancestry without women."

No one reminds of this kind of thing, no one will deliberately investigate, and coupled with the closure of ancient information, many people don't understand.

But as soon as you talk about worry-free, everyone will understand.

"Damn, there are few women in the first place, and those who are officials have to account for several ......"

"No wonder we can't marry a daughter-in-law."

For a time, the people were indignant.

The atmosphere in the court is also tense.

Those Ming monarchs issued an edict at the first time: "It is forbidden for the people to take concubines, men who have no children in their thirties are allowed to take a concubine, officials below the fifth rank are not allowed to take concubines, five officials are allowed to take one concubine, and third-grade officials are allowed to take two concubines......"

Wuwu turned the water cup in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile: "The imbalance between men and women will cause extremely serious social problems, and the constant suppression of women will trigger a bottoming out, what should I do when women are unwilling to get married and have children?" The only way to do this is to find a way to get men to have children. ”

I don't know how many men heard that it was pale and shaky.

And the women felt very happy.

Some of the women laughed together.

"That's it, if you always bully people, your mother won't give birth, and you have the ability to give birth to yourself."
