Lin Yutong put down his pen and looked at Fourth Master, "Master, I also want to get a discount."
The Fourth Master smiled: "No, I take your opinion seriously." He said, looking at the folding paper on the table, "This folding paper is not up to par." He patiently pointed to Lin Yutong, "This is
Objectively speaking, the content mentioned in the booklet has a good starting point. You have to try to see something else from here." After saying that, he simply put down his work and stood opposite Lin Yutong, "First
, there are only punishments but no rewards in this book, then you have to look at this person’s resume and whether this person’s foundation is more admiring of Legalism. Secondly, even if you know that this opinion is inappropriate, then you have to show your
Take the matter of marriage and childbearing of women, you can add a few things at the end. For example, what kind of rewards should the government give to women who give birth between the ages of eighteen and twenty? Set the age limit so that it is neither too early nor too late, so
, not only does it encourage them to get married, it can also prevent women from marrying and having children at an early age, which brings danger to their lives and health. For example, how much is the reward for giving birth to a second child? How much is the reward for giving birth to a third child? This method is better than discounting
The above method not only appears benevolent and lenient, but also has another benefit. That is, the reward from the court is the same for both children and women. Subtly, it can improve the status of women. Although this is not a concept that can be changed overnight, at least
, many newborn baby girls can be saved from the fate of drowning because they cannot afford to raise them. Not only must they be born, but they must also be raised. In addition, this reward does not have to be money, can it also be wasteland?
When a girl gets married, she can leave a piece of property for the family. Why not? Of course, there are still many details that need to be perfected. For example, if these families give birth to girls and receive fields, what will happen to them?
What should I do if my child dies in infancy? Is the death score intentional or due to accidental factors? It all needs to be improved by people. To prevent some people from deceiving the government by only giving birth to children but not raising them."
"There is also the matter of widows remarrying. This is definitely recommended. But you have to think about the specific difficulties. For example, children. Many widows do not remarry because they cannot give up their children. Then we have to think in advance about the upbringing of children and the elderly.
Issues such as support, etc. This also involves clan, bloodline, and surname, which is very complicated."
Fourth Master pushed forward the note that Lin Yutong approved with the word "no", "Write down what I have considered. It is not comprehensive, but it gives the people below a direction and lets them know our attitude. Then, he
We will work hard to improve it in our direction. This is the case with employees. It is common for his ideas to be contrary to yours. What you have to do is to correct it. Give him a direction, that's all."
Lin Yutong weakly raised his hand and looked at Fourth Master.
Fourth Master glanced at it and nodded: "Any more questions?"
Do you really think he is a teacher?
Lin Yutong put down his hand: "I want to say something that I have always wanted to say, but I don't know how to say it or how to do it. I have been thinking about it for a long time, but there has been no specific solution?"
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows: "You say."
"Foot binding!" Lin Yutong uttered these two words softly, but her heart became even heavier. "I have thought about asking people who have already bound their feet to let go..." She paused, and then said: "I have thought about asking those who are willing to let go..."
There are some rewards for women who let go. But later they denied it. This thing, concept, cannot be changed by money. Later, I thought, if rewards are not enough, let’s punish them. For example, officials’ family members, whether they are wives or daughters
, their readiness is linked to their official assessment. For example, if they want to take the imperial examination and martial arts examination, if there are sisters in the family who don't go well enough, they will make fun of their qualifications for the exam. Wait, it makes my head spin thinking about it. But it still doesn't work.
. If we really do this, the world will really be in chaos. The most important thing is that I feel that I am liberating them, but they feel that I am harming them. The recognition of this concept... I am powerless."
The fourth master laughed and said: "This is not something that can be solved in one day. It will take more than ten or twenty years to change the situation."
As he said that, he saw Wu Chunlai coming in with his nanny holding palm beads.
It’s time for Zhangzhu to nurse.
Both of them stopped talking for the time being and looked at the child.
The fourth master hugged the whimpering palm and waved the others to retreat. Lin Yutong then untied his clothes, wiped them with a hot handkerchief, and took the child.
The fourth master looked at his daughter who was enjoying the delicious food and said with a smile: "The problem you want to solve lies with our daughter. When she gets a little older, it's time to have a special school for girls. This school for girls, with our eldest princess,
The school accepts students regardless of their origins, but there is one thing: those with small feet are not allowed."
Lin Yutong suddenly looked at the silly girl who didn't know what to eat. The girl was licking her head and smiling at Lin Yutong.
The fourth master came over to look at her, and she quickly reached out, held her baby bottle, took a few sips, and gave the fourth master a very wary look.
Even if you kiss me, you can't even try to steal her food.
"What a force to protect food!" The fourth master sat back again, fearing that it would affect his daughter's eating. "There are so many big and urgent things to be done now. Let's take it easy first. This matter is not urgent."
Lin Yutong nodded and stopped talking for the time being.
This made Fourth Master heave a sigh of relief. Using his daughter's name means that, but in fact it is fundamentally difficult to change this problem. If you want to get women to let go, the root is still in men.
As long as a man's perception changes, everything will change accordingly. It's the same as looking at the relationship between the eldest brother and the Lin brothers. If they only choose girls with big feet, this is a signal. When the upper class no longer accepts women with small feet, the lower classes will take care of themselves.
Follow suit. In a few years, when good men choose wives who will refuse small feet, then they will untie the shackles that bind them without anyone forcing them.
It is said that a woman's happiness and joy for hundreds of years are left to others. This is the truth.
But the Fourth Master would not say this to Lin Yutong. Otherwise, her mind would explode and she would explode.
By the time snowflakes began to fall outside, almost everyone who had accepted the invitation had arrived.
It has been getting dark for a while now, and snowflakes are floating in the sky outside.
Fourth Master returned to the back hall with a chill all over his body, rubbed his hands and said, "Would you like to go out for a walk?"
Lin Yutong glanced outside: "What do you mean?" On this cold day, "Where are you going?"
"Juxian Pavilion." Fourth Master urged Lin Yutong to change clothes, "Let's go there on foot." After speaking, he whispered: "It's been a long time since we took a walk together."
Lin Yutong chuckled: "If you don't want to take a walk, please drive for me."
The fourth master remembered the time when the two of them rode a carriage to get food. He immediately became more interested, "Okay! Quickly change your clothes, let's go." After saying that, he looked at Wu Chunlai and said, "Find an ordinary carriage.
."
Wu Chunlai almost cried, you really know how to do things.
Lin Yutong not only changed her clothes herself, but she also took the Fourth Master to change her clothes too.
Because she went to the Juxian Pavilion incognito, Lin Yutong only chose a blue scholar's robe for the fourth master. As for herself, she only wore plain clothes and a silver hairpin.
After all, Fourth Master put the chinchilla skin cloak on Lin Yutong, "Don't really freeze it."
The palm bead was in the Longevity Palace, and Yin Laoer and Qian were watching. They were not worried at all and went out together.
Wu Chunlai hurriedly sent the message to Hei Qi and followed him from a distance. It would be terrible if something happened.
After saying that, he quickly changed his clothes for leaving the palace and chased the two of them away.
Along the corridor of the palace, the two held hands and walked slowly.
The snow crunched under my feet. The whole world fell silent.
"Why do you remember going to Juxian Pavilion today?" Lin Yutong hid his mouth in his big fur collar and asked angrily.
The fourth master held Lin Yutong's hand and rubbed it, "It's okay, people from the Juxian Pavilion are almost here. Let's go and have a look. No matter how clear others say it, we don't have to go and have a look. After feeling it out, we feel at ease.
Can’t get up.”
Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows and looked at him, always feeling that his purpose was not pure.
But the fourth master smiled: "I want to find an opportunity to take you out for a walk. Is this a purpose? I have been busy in the past two years and have not had time to accompany you."
That's pretty much it.
Lin Yutong sniffed: "It's okay, we still have a long, long time together..."
The two of them talked incessantly, and after leaving the palace gate, Wu Chunlai came over and said, "Sir, it's better for me, this old slave."
Fourth Master smiled and said: "Just sit aside and go. Don't you ladies want to take my car?"
But Fourth Master’s car is really—not very good.
Bumpy people have a sore butt.
"The main reason is that the car is not good," the fourth master explained calmly.
The wheels of carriages in the past were all made of rubber. They were incomparable to the wooden wheels of today.
Lin Yutong nodded and glanced at Wu Chunlai.
Wu Chunlai said quickly: "Master, please come here."
The fourth master got into the carriage. It was nothing at first, but when the carriage moved, the difference came out. He walked very smoothly.
The technology is still not good enough!
The Fourth Master secretly glared at Wu Chunlai, but he really didn't know how to do things.
Wu Chunlai said to her heart, "My lord, if you don't get it right, you'll feel sorry for your wife. If you get it right, you feel that the old slave doesn't give you face. Your requirements for the old slave are really not high at all!"
Lin Yutong threw herself into Fourth Master's arms and giggled, "It's okay. The main problem just now was that the road was not good."
The fourth master tapped Lin Yutong's nose, but said to Wu Chunlai who was driving the car: "Learn a little bit and see how your mistress speaks."
