Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Once the auspicious time is over, maybe people will call off your engagement directly, and who will reimburse me for the bride price and offerings that were spent earlier?

All in all, although this matter is a bit absurd, the public grievances aroused by a piece of decree are real, and even the Civil Affairs Bureau in Lujiang... No, the Department of Civil Affairs fell into a situation where the 24 hours were full or even paralyzed.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan is not the kind of person who makes a quick decision and then lets go.

Seeing that each of the other parties was so resentful, after understanding the actual situation, Zhang Yan immediately issued an order, and carried out a "hot update" after this decree, adding a pudding to the previous decree.

……

"...Considering the lofty nature of our country's etiquette and the general morality of the people, the following supplements are made to the previous decree:"

"Although the legal age of marriage and childbearing in our country has been extended to [-] years of age, due to the current situation, residents are allowed to go to the Lujiang Civil Affairs Department to register for engagement if both couples are voluntary, and after both parties meet the marriage age requirements, they can go through the wedding registration procedures. "

"Anyone who is officially registered as engaged is managed as a married couple, but intercourse is still not allowed."

"If there is any violation, it will be dealt with according to the original disposal method."

……

In this way, on the third day of public dissatisfaction, a brand new decree was promulgated.But this time, after seeing that their problems were solved, the people who were still making noise before became quiet in an instant.

The common people got the concessions they needed, and Zhang Yan also gained valuable progress in the marriage and childbearing laws, which can be said to be a win-win situation.

After the new decree was promulgated, Zhang Yan greeted the following local officials:

If there are those young couples who really have a good relationship, even if they just live together after completing the engagement, it doesn't matter, just turn a blind eye or close one eye.

As long as no one reports, or there are such vicious practices of forced marriage and human trafficking, then there is no need for Lujiang's judicial system to beat mandarin ducks.

However, if the perpetrator is under the age of 15, or someone knows the law and breaks the law, and still engages in the previous behavior of "selling daughters", Zhang Yan's instructions for this kind of scum are very clear——

That is to make an example to the monkeys.

If one or two typical cases are not found and dealt with emphatically, there will always be people who don't know the severity and insist on trampling on the red line of the law.

……

In this way, a regulation that did not lose its majesty and was full of humanitarian care was born, which left a profound impact on Lujiang and at the same time made everyone have a new understanding of the prefect.

During the whole process, some people may feel that Zhang Yan lost his majesty, and even compromised with the "threat" of the "common people", but Zhang Yan himself quite enjoyed it.

It's not because of anything else, it's just that he has been in charge of Lujiang for more than a year. After a whole year of hard work, finally someone is willing to express his dissatisfaction to the government in a timely manner when he is dissatisfied.

Even if the process is still rough, and even if the feedback method needs to be improved, it is undoubtedly an improvement in the wisdom of the people.

For Zhang Yan, he is not worried about these people expressing their opinions, what he is worried about is the situation where they are silent and secretly resist.

As long as you speak out, it doesn't matter whether it is solved or alleviated, you can always find some corresponding ways to deal with it.

And if you don't say a word, it will inevitably develop into the Taipingdao before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and a completely different resistance organization will be established at the lower levels of the entire government.

In this way, with Zhang Yan's hard work for the past month, a series of changes related to education between men and women, the best age for marriage and a series of changes have been implemented.

Since there are not many talents under Zhang Yan, and he only remembers one man who ruled by law in the Three Kingdoms period, so when there is no one available, he can only go into battle by himself, constantly thinking about the differences between various regulations and laws. relationship, trying to find the balance point.

As for the rest, it was much easier for him.

Aren't the people unwilling to let their daughters come out to study?Then I will simply set up a bursary for children's education, which is specially used to subsidize the family.

As long as those people are not stupid, even if their own children don't want to go to school, they will force each other to go to school. This is the same regardless of gender.

And the "school uniform" thing is also very simple, before the age of eight, uniformly wear neutral clothes.Now Lujiang has its own textile and garment factories, and has been trained to be very reliable by the previous military uniform requirements.

As long as Zhang Yan gave an order, it would not be difficult for those clever women to make some children's clothes.

The most important thing is that he also made a breakthrough in the original school uniform - that is, after the school is divided into boys and girls, the school uniform no longer needs to be respected as "ugly", and can show some things like youthful firepower .

In this way, when everything is progressing steadily, a hidden deep change is constantly happening in Lujiang.

Perhaps in a short period of time, these people can't feel anything.Once the time has passed, for them, contacting the residents of the outside world will feel like there is an era gap.

Perhaps it is inappropriate to say this, but for a human being, the reason why he is a human being is because he has an extremely complicated "sociality".

When the ideological and moral development of a region is at the forefront, even if it is not as rich as other regions, these people still have the illusion of "these guys from other places must not be primitive people".

During this process, Zhang Yan also encountered some very interesting things, such as the sudden increase of thousands or even tens of thousands of school-age children in Lujiang, and some small and insignificant resistance in the process of promoting education. .

……

It is also very interesting to say that the Han Dynasty has been established for more than 500 years, and it has a history of [-] years including the inheritance of Qin's regulations.

But these 500 years add up, and for the common people, they have never heard of such absurd things.

It has been hundreds of years to raise a child to protect the old, and adopt a daughter to lose money. When someone suddenly tells you that your girl can get a subsidy every year as long as she goes to school, most of the people feel a little bit in their hearts. Enlightened.

After living for so long, I have only heard of taxation by the head, but who has heard of paying money by the head?

If it weren't for the fact that the money given was a little too little, I'm afraid some parents wouldn't care what their daughter was doing in that kind of place——

As long as you can make money, it will be much, much better than before.

……

"So, these people are the hidden population of those families?"

……

"Good guy, these people can really hide... I sent someone to dig three feet into the ground and count the heads one by one. I didn't expect so many fish that slipped through the net. This is to make it clear that I don't know They will be punished, otherwise how could they break the law knowingly?"

A few days after getting close to Qiaoying that afternoon, Zhang Yanduan sat in the official office in Lujiang, looking at the report in his hand with great interest.

His face looked haggard and gloomy, probably because he hadn't had a good rest during this period of time.

In front of him, Kuai Qi had a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something.

……

"Well, my lord, I actually know a little bit about this matter. Some of these people are indeed people who were hidden by the previous family, but the number is definitely not that large."

"The main force of the more than 1 people, if the subordinates guessed correctly, probably those aristocratic families went to other places to 'buy' them back..."

……

"Bought it back?"

Suddenly feeling a little curious about what Kuai Qi said, Zhang Yan couldn't help asking another question:

"There is no famine in the big man now. Where are so many people willing to sell their sons and daughters? Where can these people buy these people..."

"And don't buy it sooner or later, why buy more than 1 people for me at this juncture?"

And Kuai Qi seemed a little helpless.

After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he looked into Zhang Yan's eyes, and finally decided to tell the truth to the other party.

"That's right, my lord... it was bought."

"During the famine, there will indeed be cases of selling children and daughters, but who has stipulated that I can only buy them if you say you want to sell them?"

"My lord, don't feel angry. In fact, based on my subordinate's understanding of the big man, as long as these aristocratic families go to the remote villages in the outer states and counties, especially the populous towns such as Hanoi and Nanyang, then Yaya will not be as young as one or two years old." Children who are learning languages, and girls who have just come out at the age of thirteen or fourteen, there is almost nothing they cannot buy."

He hesitated and said to Zhang Yan, Kuai Qi saw that the other party was not angry, but looked down in thought, so he continued to speak with confidence.

……

"Master, in fact, you have lived in Lujiang for a long time, and you have somewhat forgotten the outside world...not only you, but also your subordinates."

"Although under your governance, Lujiang now hates the business of buying and selling people... But it is also biased towards selling. On the point of buying people back, the aristocratic family can be said to be absolutely unambiguous!"

"What do you think, suppose you are an ordinary commoner in the rural areas of Nanyang, and the husband and wife are harmonious, and you want to have a son to carry on the family, but you have given birth to a dozen daughters in a row, what would you think?"

"It is said that the bond of flesh and blood is stronger than that of blood. After all, this is a child born by myself. I must be reluctant to strangle and starve to death, so I have to grit my teeth and raise it."

"There are too many people here, and there will always be someone who can't bear the pressure first and wants to send these little guys out."

As he spoke word by word, Kuai Qi seemed to think of something, and suddenly grinned lightly...

"My lord, you have never lived in the country, so you don't know how those people treat girls. You can't even send them away. You are like a plague god."

"It's not easy for everyone. They all want to raise a son, but who will support so many daughters? Who has the strength to support them?"

"Don't be surprised. Under such circumstances, people from our aristocratic families have gone. They are not the ones who snatched children from them in the past. They are the great benefactors and saviors sent to them by heaven!"

"As long as the child is handed over to a family like ours, the child who couldn't even get enough to eat may be able to live a decent life in the city. If he is lucky, he may even be taken into the house by some son. To be a concubine would be beautiful!"

"I don't have to work, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, so I just lie on the bed... You may look down on this kind of life, but I have to say, how many people want to do it, but there is no such way..."

……

To be honest, Kuai Qi's words are indeed a bit ugly, but from another aspect, this is like a hell joke, which makes people want to laugh, but they can't laugh after understanding it.

Zhang Yan has been intoxicated for too long... Or to put it another way, he has been cultivated for too long in this "comfort zone" in Lujiang.

He loves his concubines with his wife every day, or just watches the development of the cities under his command... This even makes him a little forget that the combined population of the four counties and six countries in Lujiang River is only one million, and there is still no Less than one-fiftieth of today's big man.

On this land full of misery, there are still countless people still rushing about for their livelihood, crying out in mourning, longing for the last trace of mercy from fate.

Just like what Kuai Qi said, buying and selling human beings is a major crime in Lujiang, but he can say it boldly without worrying about being punished by Zhang Yan.

Because for those families whose children have been bought away, these aristocratic families are not demons who take away their flesh and blood relatives, but angels who help them bear the pressure and come to save them.

Under such circumstances, how can Zhang Yan punish these people?

……

"The so-called three wives and four concubines are not despicable in feudal society, but represent people who occupy more social resources, actively and voluntarily undertake the work of supporting more people. This is a kind of free dedication and dedication."

……

Before he came to Dahan, every time Zhang Yan saw this sentence in the chat group, he would feel a little nauseous subconsciously.

But this time, he discovered with some sadness that what the other party said turned out to be a kind of truth.

Willing to "voluntarily" or even "freely" help them support blood relatives they cannot support, and the price is only the ownership of a child... For these people, the family is indeed no different from an angel.

……

"Huh, you said your family?"

"Kuai Qi, do you mean that a family of the Kuai family level has also participated in this type of thing?"
