Chapter 4 This World

004 this world

Her original name is ‘Xiyue’, and when it comes to her name, she cannot continue to introduce the weirdness of this time and space.

Some of the surnames here are rather special. I don’t know if it’s a matter of cultural inheritance. In short, they are very different from many of the ones Ling Xi knew in his previous life.

And because this is a strange world without light, people instead respect light, the sun and the moon, so there are a lot of names with words like moon, light, and morning in them!

Thinking of this, Ling Xi gritted her teeth again.

The ancient time and space is similar to my own previous life, but it is full of fantasy, and it is ruled by an imperial dynasty, that is, a slave-class rule!

But they all have a common problem, and even such fantastic time and space are not immune to it.

That is, this place is very similar to the ancient system that I am familiar with in previous lives. Men can have three wives and four concubines. Although women may not necessarily stay together, they must keep their integrity!

Although it is not as strict as the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, the ethical restraints on women are also very strict.

Fortunately, due to the living environment, women are not as conservative as they were in their previous lives. They must be wrapped up very tightly, and they must be married just by looking at their arms and legs.

But if you lose your virginity before marriage and rely on the world's constraints on women, there will be no good outcome except getting married.

Even if you don’t get married again in your lifetime, you won’t find a good destination again!

Men in this time and space are naturally the type who do not suffer any loss, so there is not much pressure or moral condemnation.

This is created by the background of this world.

Food in this world is very scarce, and there is only one kind, called wheat and rice.

Wheat rice is a natural plant that is directly steamed in granular form. The cooked food is like rice from previous lives.

It is then ground into powder using stones, similar to flour.

This kind of thing is also common in the wild and can be cultivated, but whether it is wild or cultivated, the yield is not optimistic.

But it is edible food after all, so in this time and space where farming technology is underdeveloped, humans can only keep digging for various edible species.

The cultivation in this world is also based on the land tax system. Of course, there are also big landowners like farmers, because many beasts in this world can be farmed just like poultry in previous lives.

Therefore, the wealth of the rich will continue to expand the scale of their land and breeding, and then lease it to the poor to become rich.

It is not easy for the poor to own their own land to grow crops. After all, the land belongs to the king, so they have to pay grain taxes to those in power!

But fortunately, there are many types of food that can be eaten in the wild. Generally, as long as you are diligent or brave and have the strength to leave crowded places and enter the depths of the forest, you can find many edible species.

But that is also very dangerous, so this makes men become the main breadwinners of the family!!!

After all, men are much stronger than women and can fight wild beasts, are bolder and braver, and can go into deep forests to find food, hunt, treasure hunt, etc.

After all, nature is a natural treasure house. Since human existence, many food and other species have been excavated little by little!

so,

One is because of productivity reasons;

Second, because men in primitive societies have a high mortality rate because they are always exposed to dangerous environments, so this time and space attaches great importance to population.

Because no matter what era, a polished commander is useless!

The prosperity of a country is mainly reflected in its population!

Therefore, on the one hand, the jobs faced by men are very dangerous, and death in accidents is very common.

Therefore, coupled with feudal ideas and rule, it is natural for men to have three wives and four concubines without any pressure!

Giving birth to more children will increase the population, so that there will be more soldiers when there is a war.

At the same time, because the probability of death of men is higher than that of women, the uneven ratio of men to women can be alleviated to a certain extent.

This is why, once the chastity is violated before marriage, the woman will get married!

No matter what kind of person the other person is, even if it's not mutually exclusive, otherwise the world won't give you too many choices.

No one can tolerate endless abuse and insults.

There is no other way except to admit that you are unlucky. And it is your good luck that the other party is willing to take responsibility.

If you sleep in vain, you don’t have enough evidence to prove that the other party is wrong, and you don’t even have a chance to explain or struggle.

Of course, except for those who have a family, because that is called Hongxing cheating!

If the man doesn't pursue the case, then he will be punished. If he does, the adulterer and adulteress will not be much better off!

Of course, if a man intentionally hurts someone, he will be severely punished, but in short, the woman will suffer some losses.

Ling Xi wanted to scold her, so she might as well just go into the pig cage!

"Sister, when you go back, don't say anything else. You know that uncle has always disliked us.

Now that something like this has happened to you again, the life of my parents is not good enough, and my father will no longer be able to fetch salt."

"I didn't, not with him."

Ling Xi's integrity, after all, the smell of love flowers on her body has not dissipated yet, no one would believe her even if she told her.

Ling Xi looked at the girl walking in front of her with her head lowered, and her mood was really complicated.

The original family population is not too large, even the grandparents have passed away.

But the Xi family did not split up because the eldest family did not agree. After all, they relied on the second house to support themselves!

The eldest uncle, Xixin, and his family are very lazy, so on weekdays, only his father, the second wife, is the one doing the hard work.

Now the original father has also been seriously injured, and he may not be able to work anymore because of his illness. The Xi family will soon face a crisis of survival.

So how stupid is the original person? At this time, he only cares about the personal relationship between his children and was deceived by someone with just a few kind words, and something like this happened!

The girl is talking about getting salt because the salt in this world is obtained from the nearest large salt lake in the region. Human beings can have ready-made salt to eat without having to make it.

However, there are many wild beasts around the salt lake and it is very dangerous. Only the king has the right to form a group of hunters similar to mercenaries to collect salt and then sell it to the people for some profit. However, how much you can get depends on luck.

Because the country's army is used to protect the safety of the city, it will not easily do such a task.

The journey to get salt is long and the sacrifices are huge, so salt is not cheap.

But people cannot leave Yanba, so no matter how difficult the country is, it must solve this serious problem, otherwise it will lose its population. After all, there is nothing in this world that cannot be immigrated.

Whichever country is strong will be more attractive, the more people will live there, the more resources will be found, and the military force will be stronger.

This is a mutually reinforcing rule of survival.

Therefore, the king will use part of the profit from selling salt to reward and compensate the sacrificed hunters, and part of it will be used to manage the basic expenses of the entire city.

After all, they live in forests and shrubs, and there are many wild beasts, insects, and birds. Every country must form a powerful army to protect the safety of the city.

Otherwise, once the city is destroyed, it will mean the destruction of the country!
