Chapter 277 Can These Things Be Solved Well?

Chen Fan left the academy and took Chen Ya and others around to check on Chun Geng's situation.

Standing at the edge of the field, Chen Zhongyan watched the villagers turn the soil and pastures over with rakes, frowning in distress.

"I'm already in love with this sea of ​​purple flowers," he said.

"There are still a lot of fields that haven't been hoeed. There are still ones on the pasture, and there are also Wangjiadun. You can go and see them." Chen Fan comforted him.

Chen Zhongyan turned around: "There is a heartache, and the role of pasture must also be brought into play. These grasses have grown for more than a year, and they can be planted with fertile land as soon as they come."

"We can also bring in some more people to plant those idle lands." Chen Zhongliang said.

In the first year, in order to find work for the refugees, a lot of wasteland was reclaimed, but many lands could not be planted for a while, so the people could not be asked to travel more than ten miles to cultivate the land.

For those who did not grow grain for the time being, Chen Fan planted grass.

Last year, 1000 people left, but the 3000 mu of land had already been planted with wheat or rapeseed, and it was tenanted to the villagers.More than [-] newcomers were allocated this kind of pasture land.The Xiangjun Mansion arranged for them to grow early rice.

In the evening, Bai Ce came back and said he wanted to report on the situation of the Sun family in Yongchang County.

He glanced at the children and asked with his eyes: "Do you want them to avoid it?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "They must understand the dangers of the world."

Bai Ce put a stack of papers on the table.

A stack of papers!The youngest son of the Sun family was even worse than the rumors said.

Chen Yue and the others looked ashamed and angry, and their faces were flushed; the boys also seemed to have swallowed something disgusting, unable to swallow or spit it out.

Chen Fan squeezed his fist, let go, and asked Bai Ce what happened next.

Bai Ce faltered: "Those prostitutes are from lowly background, no one cares about the casualties, the people at most ridicule the client's way of doing things, and some even call those prostitutes what they deserve."

Chen Ying stood up abruptly, then sat down again.

"You don't have to be punished for killing your wife and concubine. If you pay the woman some money, you will be said to be kind. The woman's family won the money, and they don't care how the girl died."

Chen Fan pinched his fingers sorely.

Bai Ce added another sentence: "The Sun family will not say clearly that they killed someone, they will only say that the first two died of illness."

"To what extent can the government control people's marriages?" Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci.

"If you don't marry when you reach the age, you will be fined."

That's it?

Chen Fan took a deep breath: "I will pass on the letter to everyone, and ask them to come and discuss the matter tomorrow."

Mo Jian and the others keep a lot of carrier pigeons, and they use carrier pigeons for simple information transmission in various places. If they need to understand and report in person, they will send someone to go there.

"Invite Cui Yunlang and the others over, and let's discuss the management of the marriage together."

The Lizhengs all came, and each of them brought five villagers, both male and female.The servants of the Xiangjun Mansion also pushed representatives to participate.

Let's discuss related matters together.

Zhang Ci said: "Everyone, the previous township regulations and treaties only advocated some virtues. Now we need to clearly stipulate what things can be done, what things can't be done, and what the corresponding punishment is. Today we will focus on marriage. What do you want to say? boldly said."

Ma Lizheng from Shiligang said: "Marriage is a major matter, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, there is nothing to discuss."

"About the matter of Shen's family in Qingshan Village, do you also follow your grandmother's advice?" Zhang Ci glanced at him.

Mo Jian briefly explained what the Sun family had done, and everyone present shrank back, fighting back the discomfort.

"That's just an individual case. Whoever meets with bad luck." Ma Lizheng didn't take it to heart.

"How to avoid this kind of bad luck?" Zhang Ci asked again.

A woman said: "You can persuade that old lady Shen."

"Old lady Shen doesn't listen, she insists that the youngest son's disobedience is unfilial, so what?" Chen Fan asked.

Everyone was silent.

"I don't want people like the Sun family in Changping Township, and I don't want girls from Changping Township to marry into that kind of family. Think about it, how do you deal with this kind of thing?"

It was still a woman who said: "The entire Changping Township is under the jurisdiction of the Xiangjun Mansion, and so is marriage. As long as the Xiangjun Mansion does not agree, no one dares to force marriage."

This is the power of the privileged class.

Chen Fan nodded: "Now let's discuss: what things can the Xiangjun Mansion stop? You are going to talk about it first."

The Lizhengs had to say what they didn't say, and racked their brains to express some ideas.

Or women wanting to fight for women.A woman in her 30s said: "The surname of a civilian woman is Pan, and she lives in Qingshan Village. The township government treats men and women equally when it distributes salt and sugar. We are very grateful. For the first time, I feel that women are human beings. Women Being beaten by your husband has never been cared about, and everyone thinks it is just and right. But women hope that women can be protected by the law." She knelt on the ground.

This one is smart, and knows to introduce himself before speaking.

Chen Fan lightly supported her shoulders: "There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony, let's sit and talk."

Pan thanked Chen Fan, got up and sat down.Chen Fan continued to ask: Which behaviors can be mediated by the clan and Lizheng, and which behaviors need to be managed by the Xiangjun Mansion? "

"A slap in the face is not a big deal, is it?" A man spoke, and everyone present had different expressions.

"If you fight hard, you still need to be persuaded."

"Just bear with it, life is still going on, and there are still children to take care of at home."

This kind of saying has been said for thousands of years, and it has never disappeared.

"Does the Xiangjun's mansion beat up the men? In the end, the women are still required to take care of them, which will increase the burden on women."

Someone raised the matter of buying and selling women and hoped that it would be banned.There are also people who disagree, saying that when a distressed person meets a kind person and buys it, it also saves her life.

The thinking was opened, and everyone mentioned various phenomena and put forward various ideas.Some disputes were obvious and turned into fierce quarrels.

Cui Yunlang and the others were getting cramps when writing.

The meeting was over, and everyone was still unsatisfied, arguing all the way back.

Chen Yue looked at the thick stack of papers: "Can these things be resolved properly?"

"Some things cannot be solved for thousands of years." Chen Fan blurted out.

Everyone was stunned.

For thousands of years?
Zhang Ci rounded up the situation: "Many things seem to have existed from ancient times to the present, and from ancient times to the present, it is more than a few thousand years."

right.Selling children and daughters, selling themselves into slavery, and changing children for food in famine times seems to have been like this for thousands of years.

Chen Ying looked solemn: "How long will it take to change? Will you sell your daughter if you say sell your daughter?"

"Perhaps it will take decades for the law to stop it before it will have any effect?" Chen Xiu looked forward to it.

"After a few decades, a generation has changed, maybe it will change again." Chen Zhonglin sang badly.

The children felt dissatisfied, and there was no distinction between men and women, so they mixed and fought directly.

Chen Fan also got into a fight with Zhang Ci, and she was upset.

After beating for more than ten minutes, Zhang Ci hugged her: "Save some strength, there are still Caizi not stepped on."

Chen Fan brought him into the space, and swung his sickle to cut rapeseed.

Zhang Ci looked at her wielding a knife, and persuaded: "Don't be so angry, things that have happened for thousands of years can't be changed in a few years."

Chen Fan swung his scythe, chopped off a large rapeseed, and said bitterly: "I am not only from the past, I am... Forget it, I suddenly figured it out. Thousands of years can't change the root, I am It would be great to be able to change a small part.”

Zhang Ci was a little puzzled by her sudden change: "Aren't you angry?"
