Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

Chapter 29 The Best Candidate (Part Two)

The annual increase of the unmarried tax of civilians may be +1, +2, +4...

However, the Lord of the Ye Kingdom believed that good things should be followed, so he required all officials to set an example. If they did not marry a wife when they reached the marriageable age, they would be punished severely.

The unmarried tax increases or decreases according to the level of the official position. For officials like their generals, the increasing multiple of the unmarried tax is +1, +10, +100...

Yu Wencheng was indifferent, and took off his blood-stained gloves with downcast eyes.

Wang Zebang saw that he couldn't persuade his master, so he could only use all the blood of his loyal ministers to finish speaking in one breath with his eyes closed.

"The lord of the country ordered that the general must get married this year. He said that if you don't even abide by the laws that you promote, won't all the people in the whole country follow suit? He also said that if there is no woman in the entire Ye Kingdom that satisfies you, then He will give you Princess Sheng'an."

The latter sentence is a complete threat.

Naturally, Yu Wensheng would not marry Princess Sheng'an, whose guest was like a crucian carp crossing the river, and the king knew that Yu Wensheng was unwilling, but he was willing to use this matter to scare Yu Wensheng.

Sure enough, Yu Wencheng's originally indifferent expression was like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples. Under the deep water, there seemed to be some ferocious beasts that were about to move.

A chuckle broke the frozen atmosphere.

"Is he putting his mind on the side of my couch?"

Wang Zebang knew that forcing the general to have a blind date with the words of the lord would definitely annoy him, and his palms were already wet with sticky sweat.

"This time there are quite a few virtuous women in the sending-off team. Although their families are a little low and not worthy of the general, but fortunately, their temperament and appearance can barely be seen. If the general really doesn't like one, they can take a concubine first. At the side, blocking the mouths of His Majesty and Chaozhong."

Whoever is powerful in the court will only marry one wife, if he does not find a satisfactory wife for the time being, the family will give him a concubine to cope with the imperial court's forced marriage policy.

He took out the information on the daughter-in-law he had collected these days for the general to read and reference.

"Concubine?"

Yu Wencheng smiled, like a cuttlefish drawing a dark color: "But Yuwen's men only marry their first wives in their lives."

No one else, no divorce, no divorce, the only thing that can separate them is the widow.

Of course, this is a matter of Yu Wensheng's parents' generation.

It doesn't matter to Yu Wensheng whether he gets married or not, anyway, even if he marries a woman and returns home, it's just a decoration.

When Wang Zebang heard about this for the first time, he was startled.

But this may be the only chance to help the general get out of the order.

He knew that the general was cold-hearted, and he didn't want the general to be alone all his life. At least one woman could be by his side, take care of the general's daily life, and bear children for him. Only people can rest assured.

"General, there are too many people in the sending-off team, so it is inconvenient to enter with your real identity. This subordinate has already forged part of your identity information for you, so that you can join in without interruption and choose the woman you like."

"Zebang, you have prepared everything well." Yu Wencheng smiled.

It's a data album, and it's identity camouflage information. This kind of intention is really "touching".

Upon hearing this, Wang Zebang knelt down in panic.

"Please punish the general."

"It just so happens that I have something important to do. I want to take advantage of this trip to see off the relatives. You are a mistake. If you make up your own mind like this next time..." Yu Wensheng's tone became softer, but Wang Zebang felt cold all over his body , with his head low on the ground.

"Let's go to the blood fish pond for a day."

After Yu Wensheng led the army away for a long time, Wang Zebang still maintained the posture of kneeling and bowing his head.

Wei Yao squatted down and patted Wang Zebang on the shoulder: "Warrior, you can persuade our general to marry a wife, but those country girls are not worthy of our general."

Wang Zebang straightened his stiff back and patted his hands: "The general said he came to garrison for training and build the frontier, but in fact he was exiled by the king's fear. No one knows when we will be able to return to Taiyuan. Could it be that the general Always single? More importantly... the general has never been married, and our unmarried tax is multiplied every year, so far this year, do you know how big it is?"

"Okay, okay, don't be irritable, I don't know what kind of woman the general will marry as his wife in the end."

When Wang Zebang said this, he also imagined what his future wife would look like.

First of all, it must be fair and beautiful, tall and tall.

The little master born in this way will be fat in vain.

Then you must be gentle and virtuous, considerate and pleasant, caring for your family.

Only in this way can he take good care of the general and take care of the chores in the back house for the general.

The best candidates he selected with great effort for the general were basically of this type, and he believed that the general would never pick the wrong one.

-

On the day of seeing off his relatives, Wang Zebang picked out a soft cotton shirt for Yu Wensheng, covered his eyes with a layer of veil, and walked slowly on the country road with a stick.

Today's Yu Wensheng is no longer the image of a general killing iron and blood, but an image of a gentle scholar.

Wang Zebang disguised his identity as a scholar for him, allowing him to appear on this batch of household registration lists without any sense of disobedience.

And in the remote corners that no one has noticed, there are many hidden sergeants who are closely watching everything on the street, and if there is anything unusual, they will act at any time.

On the Marriage Field in Fuxian County, the man came to wait early. Many of them could not restrain their excitement, and some of them were calm, but none of them were looking forward to the woman who would see him off.

A little later, the send-off team finally arrived. Dozens of tall, short, fat, and thin women were juxtaposed together. At a glance, each of them was full of the demeanor of a different girl.

Their eyes were shy, full of curiosity, worry and expectation, and they fell on the thirty or so unmarried men facing each other one by one.

I saw that the oldest one here should be in his thirties.

He is a retired soldier with a broken arm. Because he is permanently disabled, he has a state subsidy. He does not have to pay fiancée tax. Although he has participated in the sending team every year, he has not found a partner who is willing to marry him every year.

The small ones are naturally green and tender 16-year-old boys.

Zheng Quchi would not choose a partner at such a young age, even though she knew that getting married at such an age is very normal in this era.

But for her, someone in her twenties is more suitable.

In fact, the retired soldier with the broken arm is also suitable, with a decent age and a decent appearance, but she found out that his family has a large population, and it is often rumored in the village that their family affairs are a mess, so she stopped thinking about it.

After Xiangzuo and other men and women are all present, they will introduce the man's situation first.

You must report your name, age, family background, and even whether you have paid unmarried tax.

Although the man chooses the woman first, the woman can decide whether to marry this person.

Marry, okay, choose a date to get engaged and get married.

Don't marry, that's fine, but if there is no other man to choose, then you can only obediently pay the unmarried tax afterwards.
