The gap between men and women is too large. No matter what era, it is a headache. Among them, the situation of more men and less women will have the most serious consequences.
Among the 37871 people in the Han Dynasty, there are only 8791 women, including 2178 married women. The rest are actually of marriageable age. After all, you can get married as long as you reach the hairpin these days.
According to the suggestions of Ji Chang and others, Liu Yan matches those women, that is, Liu Yan chooses which woman should marry whom.
Yes, official marriage, in fact, this is also a normal in today's years. It has been a law since the Western Han Dynasty that the government acts as a matchmaker to let school-age women marry. That's because Emperor Wu (Liu Che) launched a bloody war with the Huns. The loss of the country's youth was too great. In order to ensure the continuation of the race, there was no law.
But... Hasn't China's zhengshuo crossed south to the south of the Yangtze River? The north and Central Plains do not speak any law at all, and some old customs and habits have become fragmented. The government is responsible for the marriage of school-age women. Except for a few powerful and powerful families, there is no such thing at all.
Liu Yan almost promised Ji Chang, but one thing happened during the period, that is, Tian Shuo set up a couple. I don't know what happened. The newly married woman committed suicide, and I can't find out why. If there are only a few cases, many male newlyweds find that their wives are not perfect, but they are prone to beating and scolding. As a result, women commit suicide or ask for marriage and divorce many times.
"Well, virginity complex! But in the pre Qin period, China did not pay attention to virginity plot, and in the Han Dynasty, it did not pay attention to virginity plot. It talked about the woman's loyalty to her husband and women's morality after marriage." Liu Yan didn't have a special expression on his face: "now is a special era. Jin people care about things that Qin and Han people don't care about."
Ji Chang came to Liu Yan again to make suggestions again. He just doesn't understand that Liu Yan, who is easy to talk about other things, how can he seem a little... How to say? Is it grandma?
To be fair, why didn't the virgin plot be mentioned in the pre Qin and Han Dynasties? That's because of the social atmosphere. After all, the first emperor to unify the world, That is, Zhao Ji, Ying Zheng's mother, was not Wanbi who married his father, Qin Zhuangxiang, Wang Yingchu (a strange person); neither was Liu Che, the mother of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, who was one of Liu Qi's concubines of emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. She married and gave birth to a daughter, and then married Liu Qi, Emperor Jing.
The emperor is like that. You can see what the folk are like when you think about it.
"Both Qin and Han dynasties had a strong period, and they at least had an almost overwhelming advantage over the alien Hu people. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, men cared about their wives' womanhood and loyalty, but were able to accept their wives' past." Liu Yan finally had an expression on his face. With a mocking face, he said, "Why are you so sensitive when you come to the Jin people? The answer only lies in the weakness of the Jin people. They become strong and fragile in self-esteem. They began to take a fancy to the film of women, as if they could only be comforted at last."
Ji Chang was hurt. He knew that what Liu Yan said was right. There were really few things that Jin people could protect.
"I don't care what attitude that film is." Liu Yan shook his head: "but whether men or women, they are under my rule. I don't like to hear who again, because my wife didn't have that film on the wedding night, causing some disputes."
Liu Yan actually cares about that film. In fact, as long as it's a man, it's impossible not to care, but it's time-sharing, isn't it? Jin men can't blame those captured women for being raped because of their incompetence. They have to think about why they can't protect women from being raped by Hu people. They don't become manic after learning that their wife doesn't have that film. Well, go crazy and kill Hu. Beat and scold your wife frequently. Is it a man?
"Remember, we are Han people. We are the Han people who say, 'the country is always weak and only the Han people are strong!' Liu Yan paused and asked, "what else?"
"Jun Shang, another group of strong and powerful people are coming." Ji Chang sighed and did not intend to say more about women's' distribution '. He sorted his thoughts a little and said, "according to your command, they will walk around first, and then they will be taken there."
The so-called "other side" refers to the place where the Han Dynasty traded with many families, a new but temporary stronghold. Those Hu or Jin families brought all kinds of goods needed by the Han Dynasty, mainly on slaves, in exchange for weapons or salt with the Han Dynasty.
Li Tan now entered the walled city where almost all the wood was picked up, but he had been thinking about one thing in his mind. Was Ah Xiang kidnapped by the Han Dynasty, or was he rescued by the Han Dynasty. There is another thing. Since Ah Xiang is alive, my cousin in the distance doesn't know if he is still alive.
"Young gentleman?" Li Zhong had to make a noise. Everyone else was called over, leaving them and the Li family in the same place. It was too conspicuous: "young gentleman!"
"Huh?" Li Tan finally regained his mind. He looked around and asked, "Uncle Zhong?"
The stronghold is still very big. It sounds like a lot of noise. That's because there are more people and it looks very heavily guarded. However, Li Tan wondered what happened to those people who look weak or should be said to be bony?
"We were arranged here to entertain lunch." Li Zhong said with emotion: "the Han part is also......" he paused and didn't know what words were swallowed back: "but some eat in the Han part again, and listen to the arrangement."
At this time, the team attracted Li Tan's attention. It was a team that had been led by several Knights into the stronghold.
Li Tan will pay attention because he saw Li Kuang!
When the knight entered the stronghold, he dismounted and met some people who looked like boys or something... In short, they were people who served people. They untied something for the knight, and then got something that Li Tan couldn't understand. A brigade of soldiers in the camp appeared and surrounded the carriages.
When the shed of the carriage was opened, people sitting or lying on it could be seen. The hands of the Han ministry were shouting loudly. It sounded like they were loudly explaining what cooperation the people in the carriage should cooperate with.
Li Tan was already walking towards Li Kuang. Before he got close, he was stopped. When he wanted to say hello to Li Kuang, he saw Li Kuang reporting something to a tall and dignified person with an extremely respectful attitude.
"Jun Shang!" Li Kuang must be respectful to Liu Yan: "this time, 87 women have been redeemed. Except for nine people who died on the way, the rest have been brought back."
Yes, Liu Yan personally arrived at the scene. He didn't come here deliberately. He just didn't have anything to do for the time being. He wandered here. I heard that Li Kuang brought back some redeemed women himself. Come and have a look.
The women on the carriage were too thin. Most of them were also naked and looked dirty. They looked around with frightened eyes, as if they would scream as long as there was something wrong.
"Vegetable people, all are vegetable people." When Li Kuang spoke, his lips were shaking: "my subordinates made their own decisions and bought twelve women whose legs were cut off..."
"Vegetable man?" Liu Yan turned his eyes, looked at the women who were surprised like rabbits and said, "as long as they can create value, it doesn't matter whether they have legs or not."
Recently, the Han ministry has been buying women as much as possible, whether Jin or Hu, as long as they are of childbearing age. Liu Yan has always believed that a sentence is very reasonable. The strength of a nation depends on women, and the continuation of a nation also depends on women. Whoever has more fertile women of school age will have a future for the nation.
"We will need more women!" Liu Yan really plans to take this matter as a top priority: "finish it and rest for a few days, but don't stimulate Ah Xiang for the time being."
As the leader to manage his family background, Liu Yan really moved Li Kuang to tears.
Li Kuang doesn't know. Liu Yan just takes him and a Xiang as a model. After all... The couple are estimated to be much more miserable than most people. If they can get back together, not only Liu Yan will be pleased, but also there will be enough reference for the future of the Han Dynasty in this related aspect
