Only when your status is high will others be affected by you.
If you want to express a change, you have to find the right time to make your claim.
Otherwise, it will have no effect except to attract a lot of scolding.
Furthermore, there were very practical reasons for the low status of women in ancient times.
That is, men join the army and go to the battlefield. There are often conflicts in the border areas, and there are almost constant battles, large and small.
How vast is Daqi’s frontier?
The border is very long.
To the west and north it is bordered by a foreign tribe that grew up on horseback.
To the south are the Southern Barbarian countries.
There are also many pirates on the east side near the sea.
And as long as there is a war, there will definitely be casualties, and all of them will be men.
Dozens, hundreds, or nearly a thousand people died in small battles. Casualties were small but uninterrupted. As time went on, a lot of sergeants were killed.
And if a large-scale battle breaks out, hundreds of thousands of people may be lost in one battle!
Of course, every time a major war breaks out, there will be a period of calm for several years.
All sergeants were men, and there were often casualties. As a result, the number of women far exceeded that of men.
Then there are men who can marry three wives and four concubines.
Furthermore, men protect the family and the country, are also the backbone of the family, and are the main labor force, so their status will naturally be higher than that of women.
Jiang Long's previous life emphasized equality between men and women, but after coming here, he must also pay attention to the true status quo of this world.
Otherwise, if you give random opinions and the ratio of men to women is unbalanced, will the extra women remain unmarried for the rest of their lives?
As long as the family has enough money, men from wealthy families, officials, nobles with hairpins, and landlords and merchants will basically take in several concubines.
Furthermore, although men suffered a lot of casualties on the battlefield, in this era, sons were favored over daughters, and the number of boys was higher than that of girls. In this way, it was unlikely that men could not marry wives, or that girls would marry
No more going out.
If we really want equality between men and women, we must first solve the problem of war.
Jiang Long naturally would not support Pan Wenchang and did not post such a list.
Now that everything is on track, Jiang Long and others are much more relaxed than when they first started.
After talking for a while, Jiang Long left and walked to the backyard of the county government office, asking Qin Yu to take the peppers to the kitchen.
When Dai Lisi learned that Jiang Long was back, she dressed up and went out to welcome him. Jiang Long came back early today, and when he saw Dai Lisi's brows full of spring, his eyes lit up. After dinner, he hugged Dai Li
Liz entered the bedroom.
As time goes by, the river digging project in Lingtong County has been progressing smoothly, and Pang Cheng'an, the governor of Wangshacheng County, was a little surprised.
I feel a little worried.
Can the Jing family boy really turn wasteland into a granary?
Pang Chengan shook his head again, how is this possible?
But although he didn't deliberately inquire about it, he still heard some news.
The excavation of rivers and land reclamation in Lingtong County is the most lively thing in Xianzhou today. The streets and alleys in Wangsha City are also talking about it. It is difficult not to know the news about Lingtong County.
On this day, in the morning, Pang Chengan couldn't sit still, so he summoned his confidant, Peng Xi, the director of meritorious service, and asked him to take a few fast-class yamen officers to Lingtong County to see how much changes there were in Lingtong County.
Is there any possibility of success in the river digging project?
Peng Xi responded and withdrew.
Then he picked six yamen servants who were quite easy to use on weekdays, mounted his horse and went straight to Lingtong County.
On the horseback, Peng Xi smiled.
Wei Yong was one of the yamen servants. He was middle-aged and had a very majestic figure. He was familiar with Peng Xi, so when he was confused about something, he asked directly, "Mr. Peng, on this hot day,
How cool and comfortable is it to stay in the city?
How come you are so happy after accepting such an arduous job of traveling back and forth?"
The sun was high in the sky and the weather was very hot. Riding a horse under the scorching red sun to Lingtong County was indeed tiring and hot.
Peng Xi's forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, but he was in a good mood, "What do you know?"
He curled his lips first, and then continued: "Today's Lingtong County is no longer the place where birds pooped in the past. Before Jing Jianglong took office, I would naturally have been lazy and ran to Lingtong County."
Since Jiang Long came to Lingtong County, it can be said that the entire county has changed day by day.
"Business is booming in Lingtong County now. As far as I know, many wealthy families in Wangsha City have come to buy shops and restaurants, intending to do business here for a long time. Pang Pang has a high position, and many things can only be heard faintly.
, I want to know more details."
Another yamen servant named Hu Bao, with a thin body and a very clever mind, rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Then there is a lot of money to be made in Lingtong County this time?"
All the government officials' eyes lit up when they heard that they could get rich profits.
Peng Xi also laughed, "That's natural. Although Lingtong County is developing rapidly now, if I intervene to stop it..." At the end of the sentence, Peng Xi let out a malicious chuckle. As long as he goes to Pang Cheng'an
A few words there can have a big impact on Lingtong County.
This alone is enough to threaten the officials in Lingtong County.
"Then how much benefit will we get from going there?" Yamen officer Zhou Jun asked bluntly.
Obviously, they have done this kind of thing before.
Hu Bao continued: "Master Peng has worked hard and accomplished a lot, so naturally he gets the big reward. A little bit of it from the gaps between Master Peng's fingers will be enough for us brothers to support our family."
"We are going to Lingtong County on this trip. We really want to make a fortune, but we are not looking for money." Peng Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils shone with a shrewd calculation.
Wei Yong was puzzled, "If you don't want money, what do you want?"
Peng Xixiao's cunning, "The entire city of Lingtong County will be renovated. Not only will all the houses be built new, but all the shops along the streets will be demolished and rebuilt. If you need money, you will lose it if you spend it all. But if you can get a few shops in prosperous areas,
, can last a lifetime.”
The six yamen servants were all ecstatic when they heard this.
Although Peng Xi collected a lot of information about Lingtong County, when he arrived in the afternoon or almost evening, he was still surprised by the changes in Lingtong County.
Riding a horse, he came to the city wall of Lingtong County. Peng Xi jumped off the horse and touched the cement surface on the city wall with his hands. It was very smooth. He praised softly. The last time he came to Lingtong County, he didn't check it carefully. He just thought the scenery was beautiful.
Jiang Long was fooling around. Only now did he realize that putting a layer of cement on the city wall would strengthen it a lot.
And it is so smooth that there is no way to use force. It is simply impossible to climb the city wall with bare hands.
It is no wonder that it can withstand the attack of more than a thousand foreign armies.
After the last war, Peng Xi came here once, but he knew that Pang Chengan didn't like Jiang Long and was afraid that Jiang Long would ask for credit, so he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
A sergeant guarding the city saw them and saw that Peng Xi was wearing official robes, but did not come forward and asked around.
There was always someone who recognized Peng Xi or the six government officials, so the city guard sergeant did not come to question him.
Peng Xi led six people and successfully passed through the city gate.
"His! What a wide street!" After walking out of the dark city gate, Peng Xi's eyes suddenly lit up.
What came into view was a street that was ten feet wide.
People are coming and going on the street. There are many small stalls on both sides of the street, which is very lively. There are also many street vendors walking among the crowd, constantly selling and drinking.
"Master Peng, here, the ground is actually paved with cement!" Zhao Ping, another government official, exclaimed.
The sound was relatively loud, attracting the attention of many people. However, people who were new to Lingtong County would make such noises, and the people would not take it seriously after seeing it too often.
But in my heart, I am quite proud.
I am proud to be a native of Lingtong County.
Peng Xi saw many people looking over and couldn't help but glare at Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping shrank his neck in fear.
It was indeed a bit embarrassing to scream out loud before and attract the attention of the people.
Although he glared at Zhao Ping, Peng Xi was actually very surprised that the entire street was paved with cement!
God, how much money is there in Lingtong County?
Such a generous act!
And with such a wide street, it is already far wider than Wangsha City.
The group of people held the reins and walked slowly on the street, constantly looking left and right.
The eyes of the six government officials were full of envy. These houses were so beautifully built, and all were built with brick walls.
Although they were on official business and had some shady income in addition to the monthly salary, because of their low status and the need to take care of themselves, their residence was not shabby, but it was just so-so.
In Wangsha City, it is already very good to have a house of your own in the city.
Peng Xize was still just amazed. His house was naturally much larger and more exquisite than these brick houses. There was no need to be jealous. He had only known about renovations in Lingtong County before, but he didn't want them to be so beautiful.
It actually allowed so many people to move into new houses.
Several people arrived at the inn in Lingtong County.
Peng Xi is an official. This visit to Lingtong County for inspection will not come back in a day or two. He has to stay at a post station, even though Wangsha City is not far from here.
A few people washed up at the inn and walked out again without eating.
"Master Peng, are we going to the county government office now?" Hu Bao came forward, looking a little excited.
Lingtong County has changed too much, and it must be very rich, otherwise it would not be possible to renovate the county seat into such a new and beautiful place.
Wei Yong, Zhao Ping, and three other government officials were also impatient.
But Peng Xi shook his head gently. Jiang Long's life story was now unknown to everyone.
It’s not that easy to handle!
He walked over blankly and threatened not to suffer any more.
"Follow me!" Peng Xi looked around, and based on his previous memories, he thought about the general direction of where he wanted to go, and walked slowly.
At the time of the incense stick, everyone stopped in front of a house.
Peng Xi nodded, and Wei Yong immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
At this time, a figure not far away suddenly turned around and trotted away.
After a while, He Dao, the leader of the county government's Zao class, rushed to the county government office.
I heard that He Dao had something to ask for, and Jiang Long came in.
He Dao has also taken on an errand these days. He is very busy every day and has lost weight. However, when there is something to do, the power in his hands has also greatly increased, so he does not complain and is in good spirits.
"Sir, Mr. Peng Xipeng, the chief minister of Wangsha City's meritocracy, has just arrived in the county with six government servants. However, after settling at the inn, he did not go directly to the county government. Instead, he immediately went to the residence of Mr. Pan, who was teaching him."
