Chapter nine hundred and seventy-one: the beautiful marriage
The people watching the excitement were talking.
Bai Qingyan looked at the people who talked and laughed, and wiped the sweat on his face with a sweat towel.
Today, in the Imperial College, the students also asked Bai Qingyan about why they encouraged the widow to remarry.
Bai Qingyan made it very clear to those students. In fact, for hundreds of years, the countries have fought and fought for... it is the land and population. Only when there are more people can they have productivity, and only when there are more productivity can the people be rich and the country is strong.
As long as Bai Qingyan pointed out a little, the students immediately understood that Bai Qingyan encouraged the widow to remarry to increase the population, and the ultimate goal was to enrich the people and strengthen the country, and to prepare for unification of the world.
But these students can understand, but the people may not be able to understand.
"No one forced me to remarry! I wanted to remarry myself! I don't want to live alone for the rest of my life!" The young woman who was sunk just now had already changed into clothes. Her hair was wet, but I heard her
My mother-in-law was calling for a new method to force the widow to remarry, but she still couldn't help but come out of the carriage.
The young woman stood on the front of the carriage, full of embarrassment. Seeing that the river had gathered to see many lively people standing under the trees, she was afraid... She was afraid that such a fuss, Bai Qingyan felt that this new law was implemented
If it is difficult, it will change... The widow will no longer be allowed to remarry! Then there will be more women like her trapped in a cage, and she will not be able to get out!
So she is willing to stand up.
The young woman got out of the carriage and walked forward quickly, knelt down in front of Bai Qingyan, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, no one knows how difficult the life of a widow is. Her husband is dead...the child is gone! I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life, I
I still want to have my own child! I still want to be a mother! I can't just finish my life in the Bai family! So when the new law encourages the widow to remarry, I... I really want to kowtow to Your Majesty and thank you!"
"We women are not objects placed by men at home! We are also human beings! We also have feelings! How can we live our lives by guarding the tablets for the rest of our lives! It's fine to have children, but it's not that sad to live by guarding children! But now... it's simply a matter of life...
Life is worse than death!" The young woman cried bitterly, "I was locked up in that house, and I was not allowed to go out, and even the male servants in the house were not allowed to see each other! It was said that it was a widow who had a lot of trouble! I was locked up in that day and day
In the small yard..."
"Why can't we women with children remarry!" The widow, who was carrying a hoe to watch the fun, heard the young woman who was almost buried in the pond say this, put down the basket she carried in her arms and the hoe on her shoulders,
He said unconvincedly, "I have no man, I have to go to the field to work and take care of the baby. You are a rich wife... I have a maid to serve you, and I feel embarrassed to say that life is worse than death. We poor families, these widows who have no man, die even after death.
Even if you don’t dare to die, you’re dead... The baby is not taken care of by anyone, and you may be swallowed up by others! Those who really can’t survive... all died with the baby!"
The woman who went to work said that she was sad, wiped her tears with her sleeves, and couldn't say anything: "I'm fine. I have two boys at home, and the tribe is still willing to help me. My cousin married me
Go to Lin County... Her man and my man died on the battlefield, but her man only left her a broken woman. The fields and houses in her family were occupied by the clan, and she really couldn't survive and took care of her children.
Got into the river!"
Bai Qingyan looked at the people who were watching the lively and calmed down because the woman said, and then he slowly spoke: "In recent years, many of them have frequently fought against each other, and soldiers, the people have died or injured countless times... Many of them are at the age of childbirth.
Good girl, because of the old ethics, many of them have never seen their newlywed husbands, so she has lived her life with a tablet in her arms.”
Her words reached the hearts of many women, and many women nodded.
"There are many women who have left their husbands and cannot support the physical work of farming at home, and they have to work to death... There are many people who have left their own children." Bai Qingyan's eyes swept over the men with numb expressions, "Only,"
Only by encouraging widows to remarry, so that there are strong laborers in the family and men to help widows raise their children can reduce the tragedy of mothers committing suicide with their children! To ensure that children who have lost their fathers can grow up smoothly."
Having said that, a man had already nodded slowly.
Even if the bloodline left by themselves is just a girl, it is their bloodline. If they really lose it... they naturally hope that their children can grow up safely.
"To put it more broadly, the remarriage and childbirth of widows can increase the country's population, the family has more people, and the labor force has decreased, and the idle arable land has decreased... Only in the family can there be rich food reserves in the people! The people are rich and the country is strong, which is why the new law encourages widows to remarry again.
The reason.” Bai Qing's words slowly.
The new laws are implemented on the people. Only when the people are rich can a country become strong!
After Bai Qingyan said that, his eyes fell on the clan elder who wanted to sink his daughter-in-law into the pond.
"During the implementation of the new law, I openly disobeyed the new law, took human life, and sent it to Jingzhao Yin's mansion, and let Jingzhao Yin investigate and deal with it strictly!" Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Qihe, "National law, clan law, first country and then clan law should be based on clan law.
With national laws as the benchmark, the places that should be changed... will be changed."
"Yes! Bai Qihe received the order!" Bai Qihe hurriedly bowed.
Bai Qingyan stepped forward and helped the young woman from the Bai clan who was kneeling on the ground. He also ordered Lupin: "Lupin, let this person settle in the Bai Mansion in the capital, first, her marriage... Bai Mansion will take charge of it.
!”
"Yes!" Lupin held his fists and took the order.
Bai Qingyan looked at the young woman in front of him and patted the woman's hand gently: "Don't worry, it's reasonable and legal to marry again after losing her husband. The Bai family will double the compensation for the grievances you suffered today.
I will definitely let you marry in a grand manner!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you!" The young woman knelt down and bowed.
Even the girl behind the young woman knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Qingyan: "Thank you for saving my lady! Thank you for your Majesty!"
Before the sun set, Bai Qingyan’s refutation of the students at the Imperial College spread throughout the capital.
In addition, the Bai family guards sent the old wife of the Bai clan and the clan to Jingzhao Yin Mansion together, which attracted the attention of the people. They sent the guards of the old wife of the Bai clan and the clan and the clan to Mingyan. Bai Qingyan hoped that Jingzhao Yin would investigate strictly.
We must strictly handle all those who resist the new law and violate the new law, and learn from it from now on.
The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty was determined to protect the new law. When the Bai family guards sent the Bai family relatives to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion and asked Jingzhao Yin to punish them severely, the people understood that the new law should not be violated.
It is precisely because the widow, the widow of the Bai family who has been a widow, dared to take this step and want to remarry, and Bai Qingyan also promised to let the widow of the Bai family marry in a grand manner...
