Chapter 149: Marriage, Mrs.

On the way home, Xiao Wu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said thank you to Zu Yongji. If the other party had not come forward to protect him today, there would be a fight in the stable.

"Haha, you little guy, why are you polite to your brother? Uncle Wang's family is the only one who joins the young army, but you are so precious." Zu Yongji waved his hand to Xiao O intimately and comforted him.

Because according to the rules of the Junior Army, those teenagers who have no father or mother will come forward to find suitable foster care for them. In addition, the government will also provide foster care subsidies for foster care every year, which is considered as food for supporting Zu Yongji.

It is also better to grow up in a family with a perfect relationship than to have no father or mother. And the Young Army is an extremely glorious place to help the government raise such children, and the family will also receive subsidies and provide care in other aspects. Almost no family is unwilling to do so.

Perhaps because of the wandering, Xiao Wu seemed more precocious than other children of the same age. Seeing Zu Yongji talking about this, he was only moved.

At this moment, the sound of blowing and beating suddenly came from the street. Soon the security army quickly rode over to persuade the people parked on the street to retreat, so that they could all stay outside the chariot and horse lanes and stay on the sidewalk in a regular manner.

"Is this the king going? Otherwise, why did he even have a ceremonial guard?" A charcoal seller who was about to leave the city said in suspicion.

"Nonsense, isn't the King's trip like this? You've never knelt down to welcome the King into the city before, right?" Another man wearing blue work clothes and with the Shangjing Construction Workshop on his chest said proudly.

"It's the extreme! The king's formation at that time was much more majestic than this!" An old man with gray hair listened to the conversation between the two and interrupted.

As he was speaking, rows of men wearing big red wedding uniforms and wearing big red flowers on their chests came in front of him. Everyone's hair was cut very short and they rode a tall horse. While they were festive, they also exuded the solemn spirit of the people in the army.

"Ah! I remembered it! Today is a good day for the king to hold a marriage for those who have made contributions in the army." The worker in the construction workshop thought of something and immediately reacted.

In any era, the army is a weapon and cornerstone for maintaining the national ruling order. In this era where cold weapons are the main force, the army is an important ceremonial war for Eastern Mongolia to survive. When Ulutus was founding the army, he customized the principle of preferential treatment of soldiers and military families.

Although it was impossible to allow the soldiers below to go to the battlefield to steal women like the Mongolian Khanate. But Ulutus still understood the predicament of those young men not finding women. Therefore, taking advantage of this great victory, we will hold a unified marriage for the soldiers who performed well in the army.

It was also the governments and business banks in Eastern Mongolia who bought a lot of female slaves from other places before, but now they are still unmarried. Many people are here to take this opportunity to promise them to the soldiers who have made contributions on the battlefield.

Perhaps in the eyes of later generations, this will be a bit disrespectful of feminism.

Unfortunately, this was a feudal era that paid attention to arranged marriages. Women have always been just men's accessories and property that can be bought and sold. Even if the Song State in the south has less restraints on women in terms of ethics, it cannot change the reality that women have no legal status.

Although Ulutus was a later generation, he could not achieve equality between men and women at once. Moving forward in violation of the laws of social development would eventually only cause the rule to collapse. But he was also changing little by little. For example, after these female slaves were bought into Eastern Mongolia, they first abolished their female slaves' identities.

Then, under the arrangement of the government, we enter major workshops to work. Half of the wages will be paid to the government every month as their redemption fee. This is to let them know that the government is not a charity that only knows how to do good deeds, and there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to get something, you must make some contributions.

The remaining half is their own money. Generally, the large workshops in the government are for food and accommodation, and even if they require money, they are not high. Therefore, many frugal women can save money. And the money they have to pay back has a deadline, usually ranging from five to ten years. This is calculated based on the money spent by the government when buying them!

Moreover, if you marry, you can also let your husband's family pay back together. This is also clearly stipulated by law. Any woman who gets married through the government's redemption fee has the obligation to help her wife repay the debt after getting married with her husband's family.

One day if the wife cannot repay the loan, the husband's family must repay the loan for him.

In this way, although the risk of the government not getting money is minimized, it also increases the burden on the husband's family. This is also the fact that Ulutus deliberately raises the price of women so that those men who marry them can know. If they don't treat their wives well, the wife will be gone in the future and the one who loses money will be the one who loses money.

You should know that the most important reason why women have low status in this era is that women have no property rights. Not only can they not buy their own industries, but they cannot inherit their parents' industries like men. If they don't have the opportunity to work outside, they will be even more unlikely to make money to support themselves.

The biggest change that Ulutus has on women in Eastern Mongolia is that they have the right to not rely on men and support themselves. In other words, without men, they will not live on the streets or starve to death.

Moreover, women can not only work, but even if they buy industries, they are legally allowed.

Nowadays, most people have not yet realized the meaning it represents. They just simply think that the king thinks there are too many people in Eastern Mongolia, so women need to go out to work like men.

Of course, this is also a reason! It is not nonsense to liberate productivity and women can hold half of the sky.

At present, the grooms are not sure what their wife looks like, including the veteran Lugen. Although his face is wrinkled, it looks like he is seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old. In fact, he is only thirty years old. It was just that when he was a shepherd slave like that, he was very busy, so his old attitude became prominent.

He is going to get married today! He has been single for decades and it is impossible to say that he doesn't want to get married. It's just that he felt the humbleness of his identity in the past. Only now does he feel that he is so close to the moment he gets married.

As a result, the biting cold wind on the street felt as soft as the spring breeze.

Zu Yongji, who was standing on the street watching, looked at the well-dressed soldiers who were sitting with their heads raised their heads and chests, walked past him with their heads raised. His current grade has entered adolescence, and it is also during that time of enlightenment.

"It's great to be a soldier for the king! Even the wife is preparing for it!"
