Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1100 Renting a Wife
Qin Tian felt that there was something wrong with Sanren County.

But at this time, it's not convenient for him to ask more questions, so he can only find a place to live before talking.

While they were walking like this, a carriage suddenly appeared in front of them, followed by some yamen servants.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and after a man got out of the carriage, he ran over in a hurry: "Qian Shan, magistrate of Sanren County, pay my respects to the young master."

Qian Shan was a little fat, and he seemed very nervous at this moment. It might be the first time he had seen such a big man like Qin Tian, ​​or he might have heard too many rumors about Qin Tian killing people without blinking an eye. In the rain, shivering.

Qin Tian glanced at Qian Shan, nodded, and said, "Okay, find a place for me to stay."

"Don't worry, my lord, I heard that you are going to pass through Sanren County, and the post has already been prepared for you."

Hearing that it was the post house again, Qin Tian immediately became distressed.

Along the way, in all the small places, none of the post houses were comfortable to live in, so he was a little afraid of living in a post house now, but in this rain, they seemed to have no other choice.

After thinking about it, Qin Tian could only wave his hand and said, "Okay, let's go to the posthouse."

Seeing that Qin Tian was not angry, Qian Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief, so he quickly led the way without hesitation.

Not long after, Qian Shan led Qin Tian and the others to the posthouse.

Entering the post house, Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, he thought the post house here should be very dilapidated, but unexpectedly, the post house here is very clean and looks very comfortable.

After seeing this situation, Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, it's not bad."

Seeing that Qin Tian liked it, Qian Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "If you have any orders, you can just mention them."

Qin Tian nodded, but he didn't have any instructions, because he was a little tired after traveling for a long time, so he wanted to rest, so after waving his hands to make people retreat, he rested.

After dusk, there were lightning flashes and thunder in Sanren County, followed by bursts of heavy rain and strong winds.

Qin Tian lay on the bed listening to the wind and rain outside, but felt very comfortable, and fell asleep not long after.

Xia Yu came quickly and went quickly. The rain stopped in the first half of the night.

Early the next morning, the sun rose high, and the entire Sanren County looked very refreshing.

After Qin Tian got up, he called Luo Huang over.

"Did you see what happened yesterday?"

Luo Huang was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what Qin Tian was referring to, he nodded quickly: "I have seen it all."

"Okay, you send someone to investigate and see what's going on."

Although that incident was not particularly serious, Qin Tian always felt awkward, so he wanted to know what was going on.

After Luo Huang listened, she didn't hesitate much, and quickly agreed.

And they didn't ask Qian Shan directly, because they were worried that Qian Shan would hide something from them. You must know that this kind of situation is definitely indecent. If this happens to Qian Shan's rule of land, isn't he worried about being punished by the court? ?

If you ask Qian Shan like this, you will definitely not get anything out of it.

The spies went down to find out the news, Qin Tian felt that it would take a long time to get the news.

But what Qin Tian didn't expect was that the spies had news around noon.

"Young master, I got it."

"Got it, so fast?"

Luo Huang nodded: "Yes, the situation is really unacceptable."

Even Luo Huang couldn't accept it, Qin Tian became more curious and asked, "What's going on?"

"Young master, the thing is like this, the three people's counties are relatively poor, and some people will rent out their wives in order to survive."

"Renting a wife?" Qin Tian was taken aback. He had heard of such a situation. In his previous life, there was a practice of renting a wife in Thailand, but renting a wife in Thailand was just renting a girl with an innocent background as a wife.

But in Sanren County, it's just a man who rents out his wife. No matter how you look at it, it's unacceptable and very indecent.

Most importantly, in Qin Tian's view, this is simply disrespect for women.

Although the status of women in Datang is not very high, and many women of status can be given away or bought and sold by men at will, but it is really rare to rent out your own wife.

Here, Luo Huang continued to talk: "Yes, it means renting a wife. Some people have no money to support their families, so they rent their wives to other men. As long as other men pay, they can take their wives. Go for a few days, and during these few days, this man can do anything to his wife."

"My lord, this kind of situation is very common in Sanren County. It is said that this is their custom. They are no longer surprised by it. The three people who came to Sanren County back then were two men and one woman. For physical problems, they only shared one woman, so later on in this place, they took such things very lightly and didn't take them seriously."

"Because you can rent a wife here, many foreigners will come here to play, so the business here is quite good..."

Being able to play with other people's wives is a great stimulus for a man. I'm afraid that every man who knows the situation here will want to come here to play, right?

That kind of temptation, as long as it is a man, I am afraid that it will be impossible to refuse.

Luo Huang explained the situation in detail, Qin Tian fell into deep thought after listening.

The customs of a place have a reason for their existence. For example, there are walking marriages in some places, and they are still in the primitive matriarchal society, but their existence does not give people a sense of violating ethics.

But renting a wife here is also for survival, but what is the difference between this and letting a woman sell her body in disguise?
"Indecent, indecent."

Qin Tian thought in his heart, and felt that the situation here was very bad, and he had to find a way to change the situation here.

But it has become a custom, how easy is it to change it?

This matter is much more difficult than dealing with a few bullies.

To deal with bullies, you only need to use your own fists to solve the problem. Problems that can be solved by hands are much simpler than reasoning.

But things here obviously cannot be solved with fists.

It is really not easy to want the people here to change their atmosphere and thinking.

Qin Tian walked back and forth in the room, feeling that things were difficult to handle.

"Is it necessary to educate the people here, or to give a speech to let them understand what is etiquette, righteousness and shame?"

Qin Tian thought, thinking that doing this might have some effect, right?
