The two new words Li Gang spoke had no precedent in history, so Xiao Yu and others had no idea what Li Gang was talking about.
Li Gang stroked his long beard and explained: "Sharing a house means combining two families into one family. The owner of the family is the owner of this family and the owner of the other family. Dual-living means that the two families continue to live apart, but the male of this family
The owner can live in that family and even take charge of the household, but the head of the household is the woman or the eldest son of that family."
In short, sharing a house means turning two families into one family, and the male owner of the family can take charge of the affairs of both families, and can be the male owner of both families.
A double house is still two houses, but one of them becomes an outer room.
Although these two proposals allow a man to have two wives in compliance with etiquette and law, they are a bit coquettish and break his waist.
Pei Ju was the first to stand up and object, "Wen Ji, this is not okay, this will cause problems."
Wang Gui nodded and said: "Yes, once there is a conflict between the women of the two families, there is no way to determine who is right and who is wrong."
Li Gang said without hesitation: "Then use legal principles to judge. Whoever is reasonable is right."
Pei Ju opened his mouth, wanting to clarify the matter. At present, it can only be dealt with in the county. In the township, clan etiquette is still the standard, and the various village elders look to determine what is right and what is wrong.
They will definitely be biased, which will cause some non-local women to be bullied to death.
Li Gang seemed to notice Pei Ju's worries, and added, "I will give orders to the local officials to help select village elders who can uphold justice for the women who live in a shared house or double house."
Pei Ju couldn't help but said: "How to choose? The village elders in various places are controlled by prominent families in each place, and outsiders cannot get in at all."
Li Gang said boldly: "With me waiting behind them to support them, which villager would dare to make a mistake?!"
The implication is that the government is supporting the women who live in shared houses and double houses, and the village elders want to bully them, but they are a little bit worse.
Pei Ju hesitated and said: "But even so, how can you be sure that the village elders you elected will think about these women?"
Li Gang chuckled and said, "I'll wait until the women living in shared houses and dual-living houses in various places get along with their husbands for a while before making a choice."
Pei Ju was speechless for a moment.
Li Gang wants to first indulge those village elders who bully others, and then create a group of victims, and then select these victims as village elders to bring justice to the women who live in shared houses and double houses.
In this way, the newly appointed village elders will be biased.
Although it is unfair to the old village elders, the old village elders themselves have deep roots and great influence. If we treat them fairly, it will be unfair to the new village elders.
Therefore, it is really fair to favor some new village elders.
Some people may say that the newly appointed village elders have no local roots, so how can they secure their position as village elders?
Then you have to think about it carefully.
How come the newly appointed village elders have no foundation?
They have two foundations, one is the government officials, and the other is women who share a house or double house like them.
With the support of the government and the fact that these women are clan members, they are enough to fight against the old village elders.
The reason why Li Gang asked people from all over the country to take charge of this matter was also after careful consideration.
It can be said that the officials from various places have the most contact with the village elders. They are not only in charge of household registration, road guidance, but also taxes.
If the village elder doesn't listen to them, all they need to do is to fiddle with taxes and they will torture him to death.
Not to mention the cruel methods used, just a small kick is enough to trample the disobedient villagers into the mud.
You, a village elder, lead everyone to pay taxes. You were originally supposed to pay one hundred shi of grain, but in the end, you paid an extra ten shi due to kicking and fighting by the officials. How can you ask everyone to obey you?!
Let's take another look at the female village elder next door, who led her people to pay taxes. She clearly paid one hundred dan, but paid ninety dan. Your ten dan were used to make up for the tax that the female village elder lacked. We still haven't paid it yet.
Immediately run off to hang out with the old girl?
If you have an opinion and want to cause trouble, the soldiers will immediately bring people to suppress it. If you want to file a complaint, the government will not care about you. How can you still be a village elder?!
When the government once again presides over the election of village elders, your own people will step on you into the mud without the government having to say anything.
Although the imperial power did not go to the countryside at this time, the government still had the final say in matters of taxation and lawsuits, especially those involving a large number of people.
As long as the government is biased in taxes and lawsuits, a village elder will fall, no matter how powerful he is.
Even if a village elder wins the hearts of the people and has a large number of young men under his command, who can compete with the government, the government can also use the method of beating the young men under the village veteran to wipe out all the young men under the village veteran, and then change the method.
to toss.
It can be said that it is very difficult for the officials in various places to lead the people to get rich and help the people to build their families, but if they are allowed to torment the village elders, they will definitely be able to handle it properly.
This is the biggest basis for Li Gang’s two suggestions of shared housing and dual living.
He has thoroughly understood the behavior of officials in various places, and can easily turn the viciousness of officials in various places into good deeds.
Of course, many of the Cao officials in various places come from prominent families in various places, so officials in various places also have to explain separately.
Let them keep an eye on the evil officials, and don't let the evil officials associate with the villagers.
"This method, Mr. Li, is wonderful. I don't have any problems here."
After Xiao Yu understood Li Gang's thoughts clearly, he agreed.
After Chen Shuda hesitated for a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "For extraordinary things, we can only do this extraordinary method."
Although he still couldn't agree with Li Gang's method, he could only agree when he thought that the women and children in the north of Hebei Province, Duji Province, and Guannai Province were still in dire straits.
After all, letting those women and children live well is what they should pay most attention to.
As for other etiquette, contradictions, etc., they are secondary.

Li Shentong was conquered by Li Gang's words, and was also shocked by the two crooked ideas Li Gang came up with.
He didn't expect that Li Gang, who was usually as upright as a sharp bamboo, would actually have such a side.
Li Gang glanced at Li Shentong without any trace, and said indifferently: "I'm just trying to make a living, so why bother?"
Li Shentong opened his mouth in astonishment and kept shouting in his heart, "I learned it, I learned it."
Being able to describe all kinds of sinister evil ideas as being for the good of the people is something that everyone who wants to take power should learn from.
"I am ashamed of myself..."
Li Shentong bowed to Li Gang with emotion on his face.
Qu Tutong, Shi Wanbao and others also followed suit and expressed their admiration.
Li Gang knew that these people were trying to hurt him, so he snorted and waved his sleeves and left the front hall of Wude Hall.
Pei Ju and others bowed slightly to Li Shentong and others, and followed them out.
Li Shentong and others looked at the departing figures of Li Gang and others, and kept clicking their lips.
After Li Gang and others had completely gone away, Li Shentong grabbed his son-in-law and asked, "Have you learned anything?"
Xie Shufang said speechlessly: "My son-in-law doesn't bother to learn it..."
Li Shentong suddenly opened his eyes and scolded: "If you don't learn these things, how will you become a general or a high-ranking official in the future?"
Xie Shufang rolled his eyes and said nothing.
With a father-in-law like you, how can I still become a general and become a high-ranking official?
It would be nice if I could live a down-to-earth life.
"Uncle Wang, this is my uncle's temper, why do you have to force him?"
Li Xiaogong couldn't stand the bad people taught by Li Shentong, so he couldn't help but speak up for Xie Shufang.
Qu Tutong and Shi Wanbao nodded in agreement.
"That's right, we generals must seek merit on the battlefield instead of using our brains."
"Yes, yes, the battlefield is our destination."
"..."
Li Shentong glared at Qu Tutong and Shi Wanbao like a fighting cock for a moment and shouted: "What do you know?"
Qu Tutong smiled dryly and said nothing.
Without Li Shimin's support, he could hardly speak in front of Li Shentong and other relatives of the emperor.
Shi Wanbao had no inhibitions and shouted: "Yes, we don't understand. We only know that we are obedient to His Highness King Yong. But you are different. You have already surpassed me and others, and you still want to let your son-in-law go out and enter the army."
Mutually."
Li Jing said suddenly, "That's incredible."
Li Shentong's face suddenly turned dark, and his heart began to beat rapidly.
Shi Wanbao's words woke him up. He was indeed a little distracted. He had already become the number one person in the military, and he still wanted to make his son-in-law become a general. What did he want to do?
He doesn't want to do anything!
But when Uncle Xie becomes a general and becomes a prime minister, if he tells Li Yuan and Li Yuanji this, will Li Yuan and Li Yuanji believe it?
Li Xiaogong was simply hidden away by Li Yuan because of his great achievements. If Li Yuanji hadn't reactivated Li Xiaogong, Li Xiaogong would have been hidden away for the rest of his life.
He is now the number one person in the military. If his son-in-law becomes a general or prime minister again, Li Yuan will keep an eye on him, regardless of whether he has any ulterior motives or not.
He knows Li Yuan better than anyone else, so he knows better than anyone else where Li Yuan's bottom line is.
"Now you know you're afraid, right?"
Shi Wanbao saw Li Shentong standing there with a dark face and said nothing, so he asked in a mean tone.
Li Shentong glared at Shi Wanbao fiercely and shouted: "Whatever you are afraid of, whatever you have to be afraid of, come out of the palace with me!"
Shi Wanbao knew that Li Shentong was a tough talker, so he asked with a smile: "Why are you leaving the palace?"
Li Shentong glared and shouted: "Of course I'm keeping an eye on the Wu Houwei on the left and right, and asking them to strictly implement a curfew after dark, and no one is allowed to come in or out."
Shi Wanbao was stunned and said: "Are you going to lock all the people in Chang'an City at home and let them focus on making babies?!"
Li Shentong raised his head and quickly left the front hall of Wude Hall with an expression of "That's natural."
Shi Wanbao stood there blankly, muttering: "What happened to these two?!"
Isn’t that too shameful?!
In order to find a home for the widow and let the widow continue to contribute to the Tang Dynasty, he has become shameless.
This is even more outrageous. They actually want to lock up people and force them to make babies?!
Aren’t you afraid of being poked in the spine?!
"Actually... it will be better to collect the Fang Zhongshu records collected in the palace and various folk erotic picture albums, select some top-quality ones, reorganize them into volumes, and then distribute them to the people quietly."
Li Jing's cheeks turned slightly red and he hesitated before saying this.
He didn't originally want to come up with this bad idea, but somehow it came out of his mind.
He didn't have to say it, but it was related to the war against the Turks and Tuyuhun, and he had the greatest hope of serving as commander-in-chief, so he still shamelessly said it.
Shi Wanbao was stunned for a moment, and Qu Tutong, who had dated Li Jing several times, also looked at Li Jing in shock.
Su Dingfang and others have begun to regard Li Jing as a natural person.
When it comes to fighting, you are the hardest working person.
If I don't give you the position of commander-in-chief to conquer the Turks and Tuyuhun, I'm sorry for what you said.
