In a world of great strife, how can we not use time?
In view of the current comprehensive advantages of the original country, as long as they are given adequate treatment and a plan for escape is arranged, the core ministers of various countries may remain unmoved, but it will be difficult for the middle-level and lower-level officials to withstand the temptation.
Recently, Zhiyao has been busy with two things. The first is the construction of a new capital, and the second is Zhikai's marriage.
Zhikai has reached adulthood, but he has no marriage partner.
The dignified prince of Yuan Kingdom has no marriage partner? This matter is more complicated.
Currently, marriages are not allowed among people with the same surname, and most of the well-known families have the surname Ji, which is not suitable for Zhikai's wife.
Zaiyu first went to the Song Dynasty as an envoy and then went to the Yue Kingdom. When he was in the Song Dynasty, he proposed a marriage to Song King Luan. When he arrived in the Yue Kingdom, he would also propose a marriage to Yue King Goujian. When he went to the Chu Kingdom, he would also do the same thing.
Originally, Zhikai's marriage would not be like that. The problem was that Zhiyao asked seriously and learned that Zhikai's views on marriage were relatively casual.
How casual is that? As long as one wife can give birth to children, it doesn't matter where the wife is from, whether she looks beautiful or ugly, etc.
Since Zhikai doesn't care who his wife is, in Zhiyao's opinion, it is best to come from the Song Dynasty. Later, he will not let go of the Yue Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom, but the princesses of the Yue Kingdom and Chu Kingdom are not his wives.
She could be a "concubine".
The Song Dynasty gave a very positive response and continued to confer titles on the young girl Mizi who was chosen to be married. Mizi, from an ordinary princess who was not an inconspicuous person, suddenly enjoyed six cities.
The princess of the Song Dynasty was named Mi, which was the surname of Zi. According to the customs or rules of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, a woman’s first name comes before her surname, so she was naturally called Mi Zi.
She is sixteen years old this year, beautiful and ugly... I guess Song Wang Luan didn't dare to choose an ugly girl to marry, right?
The Song State has already given a formal response. It is expected that the Yue State and the Chu State are also happy to become in-laws with the original state. However, the reply regarding the Yue King Gou Jian and the Chu King Yan will not be sent back so quickly.
"How is your mother?" Zhiyao asked with a wry smile.
Zhikai also laughed bitterly when he heard this.
Fen Ying has always hoped that Zhikai could marry a daughter of the Zhao family, that is, let Zhikai marry his cousin.
Marrying a cousin? Or Zhao Bolu’s daughter? Zhiyao would not agree with anything!
If Zhikai marries Zhao Bolu's daughter, it is equivalent to marrying Zhiyao's niece. Not only will the relationship be chaotic, but it is also a close relationship, right?
The Zhuxia people are still in an era where blood is important, but they are not so perverted as to allow siblings to get married.
As for marrying a cousin? It was relatively common in the history of Zhu Xia. If you look it up, you will know how many deformed children will be born, how many stillbirths will occur, or how many will die before they grow up.
In addition to not wanting incest marriage to occur, Zhiyao was actually protecting Zhao Bolu's branch of the Zhao family.
The queen is from the Zhao family, and the princess is also from the Zhao family. Even if Zhao Bolu is honest, will his son be an honest person?
Once Zhao Bolu's son is dishonest, there is a high probability that foreign relatives will appear in Yuan Kingdom. If there is such a sign, don't blame Zhiyao for taking the entire Zhao family to the ground before her death.
In order to let Zhikai marry the daughter of the Zhao family, Fen Ying had been frequently summoning several hairpin girls from the Zhao family to the palace, and then summoned Zhikai there. The idea was to make them fall in love for a long time, which made Zhikai very upset
distressed.
With that time available, Zhikai would like to read more books or spend more time with young heroes. He doesn't want to be stuck in rouge, pink and pink at all.
Zhiyao sent an envoy to the Song State. From the day the Yue State and the Chu State discussed the marriage, Fen Ying began to get into trouble. Unhappy with each other, the two couples did not see each other for almost a month.
Fen Ying's behavior made Zhao Bolu very frightened, and he would go to the palace every three days to ask Zhiyao to apologize.
The highest-ranking man and woman in the original country are at odds, and even the top management has been a little worried recently, which has caused Zhikai a lot of unnecessary trouble.
If the king and the queen don't get along, will the queen be deposed because of this? Once the queen is deposed, it means that the identity of Zhikai's eldest son will be in doubt, and will the crown prince's position be shaken?
If the king establishes a new queen and turns the family into a country, the identities of wife and concubine will no longer be so clear, and the new queen's children will definitely become legitimate children. Even if Zhikai is still the prince, what will the new queen's children think?
To use Ariake's words, the original country has a crisis that shakes the country's foundation, and the ministers really need to pay attention to it!
Zhikai said with a smile: "Recently, all the ministers are very worried that the relationship between father and mother is not in harmony, and the father has the desire to change the relationship. I asked the son to give more advice to the mother, so that the son will not depose the crown prince."
There is such a prince? He can say such things directly.
Zhiyao laughed after hearing this.
After so many years of marriage, even when the Zhi family asked the Zhao family to be removed from the Jin Kingdom, Zhi Yao and Fen Ying never had any quarrel. They had always treated each other with respect and treated each other as guests. To be honest, they didn't have much fun as a couple.
This time Fen Ying took the initiative to cause trouble because of Zhi Kai's marriage. Although Fen Ying had selfish motives, Zhi Yao felt a little bit of the fun of being a couple.
This is not Zhiyao being mean. It would be quite boring if the husband and wife didn't fight each other.
Zhiyao was thinking in her mind: "My son is not trying to test what he said by saying those words, right?"
Precisely because of this speculation, Zhiyao did not ask, "What should you do if your father wants to change the queen?"
Fun is fun. Once something is said, there is no suspicion at first, but once it is said out, there will be suspicion.
Zhikai went on to talk a lot about what he had seen and heard from Fenying. His style suddenly changed and he said, "My son doesn't care much about women. Since his mother wishes it, why not add another daughter of the Zhao family?"
Zhiyao knew that Zhikai would talk about this for such a long time, so she shook her head and said, "For the sake of your heirs, you can't do this."
This time Zhikai was a little confused.
Zhiyao did not explain directly, but asked Zhikai to check the family of the cousin who married him when he had time to learn about the situation of giving birth to a child.
"Mom's side..." Zhikai would be lying if he said he wasn't worried about the quarrel getting out of hand.
Zhiyao said, "You should check first."
Well, what else can Zhikai say?
Afterwards, Zhikai really went to find out more about it, and the more he checked, the more frightened he became.
In most marriages, the probability of giving birth to a deformed child is very high, or else the child will die within a few years of being raised. Even if the child can grow up, most of them will have problems of one kind or another.
In terms of future science, the offspring of consanguineous marriages will be more likely to develop genetic diseases!
Why do things like cousins marrying cousins keep happening even though we know this will happen? Some ignorant people think that they know the root cause, or that the wealth will not go to others. In fact, they are also aware of the harm, and what they do is to deal with the deformed children.
If you drop it, you will never yell loudly.
To put it bluntly, the birth of a deformed child is regarded as a family scandal. Naturally, they will not shout loudly to outsiders that a deformed child has been born in their family.
Not to mention the history books, the main reason is that few civilians can be recorded in the history books, and those nobles, royal families, and royal families who are recorded in the history books naturally do not allow historians to record any deeds of deformed children. After all, once this kind of thing spreads, there will be
Damage the majesty of the noble family.
The more he checked, the more frightened Zhikai became. He didn't know how he told Fen Ying that one day mother and son appeared in front of Zhiyao together.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!" Fen Ying had obviously cried. He came to Zhi Yao and first admitted his mistake before bowing down.
Zhi Yao first glanced at Zhi Kai, who was kneeling with an embarrassed look, and then walked over to help Fen Ying up, while asking Zhi Kai: "But it was checked?"
Zhikai replied: "My son was deeply shocked when he found out. Da Yuan decided to ban this matter and not let this bad habit happen again."
Zhiyao: "..."
This kind of thing can be prohibited by law, but things are not that simple.
Do you think that everyone can choose a wife at will? For the vast majority of Li Shu, they have trouble even marrying a wife. They often swap men and women. For example, your son marries my daughter, my son marries your daughter, and the next generation will be married again.
If you continue to swap like this, you have no choice at all.
In a truly selectable family, unless it is driven by political needs or interests, that kind of marriage will not happen.
I don’t know about other eras, but throughout the Spring and Autumn Period of the Jin Dynasty, the marriages of various ministerial families within three generations were very cautious, all because they knew the dangers of close relatives. The Zhao family also had no good marriage candidates, so it happened.
To marry Bai Di's woman.
Zhiyao happened to be writing the relevant laws and regulations about the marriage law of the original country, and signaled Zhikai to take a look at those laws first, while she took Fen Ying aside to speak.
What marriage law?
No matter in the Jin Dynasty or in the Yuan Dynasty, men above "disciple" got married relatively late.
Take Zhikai as an example. He didn’t get married until he was in his twenties. Which dynasty and which generation of princes were like this?
Zhi Yao is not alone in marrying late. In fact, the top nobles of the Jin Dynasty of Zhiyao's generation also did the same. Now the aristocrats of the original country also marry late.
In fact, nobles in various countries marry late, and it is normal for many nobles to get married in their thirties.
I can't say exactly why, but that's the fact.
Nobles or quasi-nobles or below? The Spring and Autumn Period was not friendly to ordinary people at all. Except for the people of the country, whether they were subjects or servants, everything the slaves had was restricted by the "master", and there was no time for them to make their own decisions.
.
Zhiyao took the initiative to break up the family and build a country, and planned counties and counties in the original country. He had been doing things like dividing families and establishing households. He initially had such a thing as household registration, which was equivalent to bringing the family to ordinary people in the form of law.
people.
In the past, ordinary Li Shu did not have genealogies to record their ancestors, and the government did not include the household registration of ordinary Li Shu.
In other words, there was a genealogy at the beginning, but it did not involve the household registration of ordinary people. It was not even an administrative agency like the government that managed the place. The people responsible for managing the place were the nobles with fiefs or the appointed governors.
The original country had the system of counties and counties. Of course, it was the Zhi clan who broke up the family and established the country. Didn't it also lead to the next stage of society?
Now that counties and counties have been established, household registration involving ordinary people has also appeared. Ordinary people can still marry if they see each other in the eye, but after registering in the household registration, the union becomes a matter protected and restricted by law.
To put it simply, the household registration will record the head of the household, as well as the information of the grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son, and daughter, which is equivalent to the first-generation marriage certificate.
When Zhiyao and Fenying came to Zhikai talking and laughing, they found that Zhikai was immersed in it.
The marriage laws in the brochure are some of Zhiyao's preliminary ideas, the main ones being the idea of encouraging and punishing men and women to get married sooner.
The original country needs a population, lots and lots of people. If men and women in the country don't get married, how can they get new babies?
Zhiyao really wanted to learn from the practice of the first queen of the Xia Dynasty, and promulgated regulations in the form of decrees, stipulating the punishments for men and women who did not get married at a certain age.
However, Zhiyao must be cautious and understand the current social structure before promulgating laws, and then decide whether to proceed in a reward mode or a punishment mode.
For example, the vast majority of people have difficulty even supporting themselves, so we cannot impose requirements through punishment, otherwise it will harm the people and may cause turmoil.
As for the encouragement model, what kind of encouragement method is it? The state gives gifts to families who get married. How many acres of land will be given to the couple? What rewards will be given for giving birth to a child? What rewards will be given for raising an adult? There must be a rules and regulations.
When Zhikai saw the relevant rewards, he admitted that he was stunned.
"My father first transformed his family into a country, and then broke up his family into a country. How many people did he think of giving farmland to every married family?" Of course Zhikai knew that the original country was now vast and sparsely populated, and it was purely for Zhiyao that there were so many people.
The first one was just stunned to see it.
The original country is really short of population, so much so that Zhiyao wants to set up a "Mother of the Motherland" medal to reward women who have more children.
Today, the total population of the original country is about nine million, far more than any existing country.
However, the population of the original country is probably more than one million less than the total population of the other countries combined.
Zhiyao has asked the core ministers to formulate a plan to conquer the world within ten years. Even if the population of each country will be reduced sharply during the war, the population of the original country will also decrease. Don't create a pattern in which a few will rule the majority. It will easily happen.
Not to mention the problem, the probability of someone accidentally dying is infinite.
Therefore, the original country has mastered the method of quickly integrating the common people in the occupied areas, and it is also very urgent to ensure that the people of the country have more children to increase the population.
"Father." Zhikai uses a formal title, which means that the topic he is talking about is about national affairs.
Zhiyao was originally asking Fenying what snacks she wanted to eat and wanted to order someone to make it. When she heard the call, she turned to Zhikai.
"The counties in Hebei are vast, sparsely populated, and have a lot of grazing. If they are combined and given land, the counties in Hebei should be the first," said Zhikai.
The impact left by the diversion of the river has been gradually improved, especially since cattle grazing there have been grazing for nearly ten years, and the wetlands are being lost piece by piece. With some reclamation, farming can now be done. It is indeed time to replenish the population.
Zhiyao asked: "So, the prince thinks it is a way to reward?"
Zhikai replied matter-of-factly: "My family is here to do the world first, and then we can do this feat. Why worry about my father not being a general figure like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
So... it seems right?
Zhiyao has dealt with the matter of giving away his daughter-in-law more than once.
Until now, when you get married, you can get land from the country. It seems that it is possible to compare with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, right?
