Now Shen Mingzhu is going to Yue Country, so she relies on them. After all, she doesn't understand the customs and customs of Yue Country very well, and the national conditions of Yue Country are also very complicated.
The Yue Kingdom has been dominated by female emperors since ancient times, but they are not completely superior to women. They only have one condition, and that is to respect the strong.
Whoever has a strong fist speaks.
The emperor could be a woman, and there were both men and women serving as officials in the court. There were also wealthy men who headed the house, while women had low status and had many wives and concubines.
Of course, there are also rich families where women are the head of the family, and the men are of lower status and have husbands in groups.
There's nothing surprising about this.
This is what Ding Yong and others said.
The things I read in books before were not so detailed, because after all, Qin and Yue were far apart and there was little contact between them.
Moreover, for the sake of their own rule, the people in power in Qin naturally wanted to weaken some of the characteristics of other countries, belittle their strengths, and infinitely expand their shortcomings.
The history books of the Qin Dynasty basically preached that women in Yue were superior to men, which was really an anomaly.
When a woman becomes the emperor, there are many men in the harem. In many families, one wife can have several men, and the power in the family is controlled by the woman. Children will take the mother's surname.
And many of them are men who look after the children and do housework at home, while women go out to do business and earn money to support the family.
Countless people want to give birth to a beautiful son so that he can marry into a wealthy family.
It can be said that if the son is born ugly, then it is really useless.
Because it is so shocking to the world, the Qin court generally prohibits talking about the Yue Kingdom, and does not have much contact with the Yue Kingdom.
It is necessary to keep it as mysterious as possible and to be able to use it as a reference to remind the men of the country of their happiness and dignified status.
Today's border between Qin and Yue is not as closed as it used to be, and small trading fields have been opened to trade with each other. Qin and Yue have each built outposts and trading houses to supervise normal transactions.
In addition, the Yun family, as a special entity here, can participate in it, and the Yun family's business tax is very small.
Lingnan is already hot and humid, especially in summer, when it gets even hotter and the air is damp and stuffy, making people feel heavy in their chests.
However, everyone in the sales market was in high spirits. In addition to the shop owners who had been doing business on the ground for many years, there were also foot traders who came out to sell goods on their shoulders or on carts.
There are a lot of people coming and going, and they usually have a lot of income.
Especially if you meet merchants from the Kingdom of Jin or Xichen who don't know the market very well but want those goods very much, they can take the opportunity to raise the price and always make more money.
The folk customs here are more open. Fengzhou and other places are more open than the capital, and this place is more casual than Fengzhou.
Women do not need to wear veils, let alone be submissive. Instead, many of them walk with their heads held high. For the sake of convenience, some women do not wear skirts, but wear robes and trousers. They walk with a whirring sound, and their belts catch the wind.
At a glance, everyone can tell that most of these people are from Vietnam.
But no matter what kind of woman she is, most of them like rouge and gouache.
The young couple selling rouge and gouache are doing particularly well today. She happily counts the coins in the basket.
The money in their hands included copper coins from Yue and Qin, but the silver was universal, so they didn't care.
