Chapter 931

Merton on the stage continued: "of course, in the book of songs, there is also an unswerving love until death: death and life are broad, talk to Zicheng, hold the hand of Zicheng, and go with him; throw me a papaya and repay it with qiongju. It is always good to report the bandits; summer day, winter night. After a hundred years of age, it belongs to him."

"There is also Shangxie in the Han Dynasty: the mountains have no edges, and heaven and earth unite, but dare to break with you. In addition to love, there is loyalty in marriage. If you can't even be loyal to your own love, talk about how loyal you are to the Mohist School and how loyal you are to serve the country."

Merton's loyalty theory can't help but make a group of old Mohists nod. It is these excellent qualities that have spread in Mohist village to this day.

"In addition, Mojia village will issue new village rules for household marriage. Men and women enjoy equal obligations except monogamy."

"Husband and wife have equal status in their families, have the right to use their own names, have the freedom to live, study and work, have the obligation to bear children, have the obligation to support each other, and have the right to inherit each other's heritage."

…………………………

Merton loudly announced the household marriage law drafted by Han Zheng, and had to admit that Han Zheng was indeed a rare legalist talent. The household marriage law drafted by him overnight was almost the same as that of later generations.

"Husband and wife have equal status! Brother Mo has integrated the concept of universal love into his marriage." Li Yun raised his head in surprise.

"The idea is good, but it sounds good. It's one thing to do. It's probably just empty talk!" Tian Mou shook his head and said.

"Before that, both men and women needed the orders of their parents and the words of a matchmaker to get married. With the efforts of Ben Hou and the willingness of both parties, we can have today's day of free pursuit of love." Merton looked around.

Merton can be highly sought after by the younger generation. After all, everyone is young and energetic. Naturally, they are reluctant to be arranged by their parents, especially men.

"Today, with the promulgation of the new village rules, I will add another one after the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, and leave freedom." Merton's voice was like a thunder, which immediately stunned the whole audience.

"Peace and freedom."

He Li, that is, divorce in later generations, which is a common behavior in later generations, is extremely rare in Datang. Once a woman is divorced or divorced, it will be regarded as a great humiliation. There is a saying in later generations that there is only widowhood and no divorce. This sentence may be a threat in later generations, but it is the most true portrayal in Datang.

Women who have been expelled from their homes are called abandoned women. They will be displaced, and even their mother's family can't lift their heads. Therefore, even if they have suffered humiliation and abuse, some women still bear it silently and are unwilling to leave.

"It's nonsense!" some Confucian people who listened in were furious.

You know, in this era, people believe that it is better to dismantle ten temples than one marriage, and Merton advocates peace and freedom, but they don't know how many marriages have been dismantled. Before that, people may think that Merton's new rules are to protect the calf and why to protect the Mohist women, but they didn't expect to put forward such outrageous suggestions.

Immediately, even the people in Mojia village looked at Merton suspiciously, especially Han Zheng. The fairest household marriage law he wrote did not have the paragraph of divorce freedom.

Looking at the faces of the crowd, Merton explained: "Since the husband and wife are equal, the husband has the right to divorce his wife, and the wife naturally has the right to ask for peace and separation. Of course, the freedom of peace and separation here does not mean that the husband and wife can divorce at will. It means that once both men and women violate monogamy, both men and women can put forward peace and separation methods; or if the husband and wife have different personalities and broken feelings, it is really difficult to continue to live two years later Can put forward and leave. "

Han Zheng suddenly realized that Merton's so-called harmony and freedom is a supplement to monogamy. Otherwise, two people who disagree with each other and hate each other are also a kind of pain or punishment for the man's cheating.

"At the time of peace and separation, the premarital property of both men and women will be taken away respectively, the income of both men and women after marriage will be divided equally, and the children born and raised will be raised by one half, or one party will pay alimony until the children become adults. After peace and separation, individuals can again seek their own happiness and pursue their own love," Merton added.

The dowry of the Mohist daughter is very rich. Merton directly defines this dowry as premarital property, which also gives the Mohist woman confidence. As for raising children, the identity of a Mohist woman and the annual dividend are enough to bear, which allows the Mohist woman to avoid unfair treatment after marriage.

The women in Mojia village were deeply moved. In this era of extremely low status of women, Merton can be said to ensure their interests to the greatest extent.

However, many good families in Guanzhong changed their faces, which was a humiliation to the men who were generally patriarchal. At present, some men were furious and left the table without looking back.

Among the women of the Mohist school, big girl, don't call Zihan now! Suddenly she burst into tears. One of the men who left the table had fallen in love with him at first sight and agreed to get married at the end of the new year. This man usually made a solemn pledge, but he took the initiative to leave. He obviously didn't want to abide by the rules of the Mohist monogamy. It's obvious that he was deceived in his daily life.

Ziyi couldn't help scolding: "what are you crying for? Recognizing his face now is much better than exposing it after marriage. At that time, you won't even have a chance to cry."

"But why is Zhang Lang so heartless!"

As Merton's maid, Ziyi has high prestige among the Mohist daughters. Big girl immediately put away her tears. Although she still couldn't help sobbing, she also understood that what Ziyi said was the truth.

"Even if the Mohist children dare to love and hate and butcher Zhang dies, we won't eat pigs with hair." Erhua advised.

"Even if they don't want to abide by the rules of monogamy, it can be imagined that they came to Mojia village for the prosperity of Mojia. Where is pure love? Since they enjoy such good conditions of Mojia and are unwilling to abide by the rules formulated by Mojia, there is no such good thing in the world." Gongsun Yue helped.

Gongsun Yue couldn't help looking at these girls with envy. They are the happiest women in the world. They were born in Mojia village. Merton took care of everything for them.

The girls' minds are naturally simple, but Han Zheng on the podium frowns. Merton's supplementary household marriage law is more rigorous and complete, but he knows that such a reasonable, sound and fair law can only be effective in Mohist villages,

If you go out of Mojia village, the law of the Tang Dynasty will not recognize it at all. That is to say, if you get into the government, the fate of Mojia women will not be as good as other women.

He didn't know what Merton's solution was? Is it based on the wealth and reputation of Mohism? Or the identity of Lord Merton and the influence of Princess Changle.

Tian Mou, a spectator, looked coldly at the good family children with different expressions around him. He was sophisticated and naturally saw through their inner entanglements one by one. Naturally, he also saw the discontent and disguise in the hearts of many men.

It's true that any parent in the world doesn't want his daughter to marry well and live a happy life, but like the book of songs, most beautiful love ends in tragedy. It has become the norm in the world for men to marry and take concubines. It's obvious that some Mantis stand in the way when mojiazi wants to change the World Customs on his own, as he said just now, This is nothing but empty talk in the end.

Merton looked at the expressions of all the good sons one by one, smiled and said, "I know you don't agree with me and think it's discrimination against you, but you're not the only one who abides by this village rule. The women in Mojia village also abide by it, and even the men in Mojia village also need to abide by it.

All the Mohist men listened proudly. It is recognized by the world that Mohist men have abided by monogamy for thousands of years.

"But to be honest, this village rule is only implemented in Mojia village. I'm afraid no one will recognize it when I leave Mojia village. If I go to the government and Sue the imperial court, I won't give you a penny?" Merton threw out another fierce material.

They were surprised and didn't understand why Merton revealed all his cards.

Merton said with a sly smile, "so in order to show fairness and make this love more pure, Ben monkey thinks it is necessary to insure the love again."

Han Zheng suddenly looked up and couldn't help listening. Is this Merton's solution.

"That's the prenuptial agreement."

Merton said loudly, since the household marriage village rules of Mojia village are not subject to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, let's sign this commitment in black and white. Such an agreement is naturally protected by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.
