After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 273

"Great." At this time, Empress Ma couldn't wait to come out from the back hall, picked up Xu Da's letter, read it again and again, and carefully watched the 'New Marriage Law' formulated by Qin Yu, and said excitedly, "Mr. These regulations on marriage all reflect the equality of men and women in marriage."

"Husband and wife support each other, respect each other, and be faithful to each other."

"It aims to improve the status of your women, of course you are satisfied." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Isn't that good?" Empress Ma said, "It's like you and my husband, when you were struggling to start a business, you supported and respected each other. In the end, you made some earth-shattering achievements."

"So the relationship between husband and wife is very important."

"Not bad, not bad." As one of the parties involved, Zhu Yuanzhang had a personal experience of this.He deeply knows Queen Ma's contribution to him, so he agrees with Queen Ma's point of view very much.

Also respect from the bottom of my heart and enjoy their relationship as husband and wife.

"The world is made up of tens of thousands of families, and each family has a couple." Empress Ma said, "If every couple is like you and me, wouldn't the world be peaceful?"

"It sounds like it makes a little sense." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"There is more than a little reason? There is a lot of reason." Empress Ma said, "So Mr. Qin's 'New Marriage Law' is of great significance to the stability of the world and the happiness of the people."

"When the couples in the world are happy, the people will naturally be happy too."

"When the people are happy, the world will be more stable."

"If it wasn't for my sister's reminder, we really didn't expect it to be so far-reaching." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It seems that the implementation of the 'New Marriage Law' in the entire Ming Dynasty has a much greater effect than I imagined."

"Of course." Empress Ma said, "It is related to the stability of the world."

"The concubine knows that your Majesty has the great talent to expand the territory, and wants to establish an unprecedentedly vast and powerful Ming Dynasty." Empress Ma knew Zhu Yuanzhang very well. Great talent.Before he met Qin Yu, he liked to expand the territory, such as conquering the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and conquering Wusi Tibet.

After meeting Qin Yu, he became even more enthusiastic about expanding the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Sending troops to Goryeo to bring Goryeo into the territory of Ming Dynasty, and sent Zhu Di to conquer the country of Wa.

Moreover, they are still furnishing their troops in secret, ready to use them at any time.

In the past, when a new dynasty was established, the emperor would put his swords and guns into the treasury, and his horse would return to Nanshan, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not do this.He is still building cannons and muskets. Instead of laying off sergeants, he is recruiting a large number of soldiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang liked to expand the territory very much.

Moreover, Empress Ma also learned from Qin Yu that expanding the territory and plundering gold and silver from overseas would be of great benefit to Daming.Therefore, he did not persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to let him live with the people and not to like fighting so much.

"But if we want to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty and establish an unprecedentedly powerful and vast Ming Dynasty, the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of the people are fundamental." Empress Ma said, "If the world is unstable and the people are not rich, even if we have The most advanced magical guns, the Hongwu cannon, are also difficult to open up a vast territory. Even if the foreign countries are temporarily subdued, they will not be able to hold it."

"Sister, if you are a man, you can be the prime minister." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Before Li Shanchang came to help you, I was doing the work of the prime minister, okay?" Empress Ma said proudly, "And I did a good job. Without me, do you think you can succeed?"

"Sister, you are right. Only advanced firearms are indeed not enough to expand the territory, and they will not be able to hold on afterwards." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Those who think that as long as they have advanced firearms can conquer other countries and the world, they don't pay attention to domestic construction at all. Yes, they are all superficial people."

"The 'New Marriage Law' enacted by Mr. Qin has made the interior of Daming more stable." Empress Ma said.

"The people are rich and the world is stable, which is the basis for expanding the territory. We know this better than anyone else." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "The measures such as sharing the land into the mu and encouraging commercial activities will make the people's lives rich. The public land system , The new marriage law will make the future stable."

"These are all taught by Mr. Qin."

"Mr. Qin is really a man of heaven!" Empress Ma sighed, "Abolishing the bad habit of soaking pigs in cages has saved countless widows in my Ming Dynasty."

"He previously banned women's footbinding, which has been promoted throughout the country and saved many women in Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "So Mr. Qin is still your women's treasure."

……

Three days later, Lujia Village.

Lujiacun Primary School was temporarily suspended.

Because the current Lujiacun Primary School is still in the ancestral hall, no new school has been built yet.The villagers have to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony in the ancestral hall, so they can't go to class.

Early in the morning, under the leadership of the patriarch and two other village elders, all men, women and children in the village came.

The crowd solemnly opened the middle door of the ancestral hall, and all of a sudden firecrackers were fired, and gongs and drums blared.

Very grand and lively.

It was the first time Qin Yu saw the situation inside.

In the ancestral hall, there are dozens of ancient tablets enshrined, and all the names on them are surnamed Lu.

There is a stone tablet under the memorial tablets, engraved with the ancient rules of Lujia Village, there are dozens of them densely packed, among which there is probably the one about sinking the unfaithful woman into the pond.

Because the distance was too far, Qin Yu couldn't see the details clearly.

After that, the three village elders led several strong villagers to offer three sacrifices to the ancestors and light incense.After that, he led all the men, women and children in the village to kneel down to worship together, and there was a large area of ​​kneeling in the dark.

Children including two or three years old knelt down with the help of their parents.

The crowd didn't dare to talk and make noise at will, and the scene was extremely solemn and solemn.

Qin Yu took a few students and watched from a distance, keeping quiet the whole time, respecting their customs very much.

"The No. 20th generation descendants of the Lu clan, Lu Sansheng, Lu Erqi, and Lu Jinyan, lead the descendants to worship the ancestors." After the cumbersome ceremony, the current patriarch Lu Sansheng, who is in his 70s, said, "Everyone in the Lu clan Ancestors have spirits in the sky, bless Lujia Village with good weather and good weather in the coming year, and bless the descendants of the Lu family with food and clothing, so that there will be a few more scholars in Lujia Village."

"A salute."

"Second salute."

"Three salutes."

……

"Eighteen thanks."

The three village elders worshiped once in front, and all the villagers followed suit.

A total of [-] prayers were performed, and the foreheads of the villagers who kowtowed were painful, and some even bled.

However, everyone's expression is still so pious.

Of course, when children who are only a few years old kowtow, their parents have hands to help them cushion them.

Although people are devout to the heroic spirits of their ancestors, they are not stupid.
