In this way, there is a lack of humanity. The eighty-year-old groom is happy, but what about the eighteen-year-old bride?Marry an old man in a good time, and when the old man dies in two years, well, there will be one more widow in the world who has lived a miserable life.

As far as the country is concerned, a woman in a good age spends her whole life wasting labor, which is a waste of a good woman who is imported for the country.

Besides, even if the grades of the male and female are similar, the two have never met in the ancient ceremony wedding, and they only met after lifting the hijab. The relationship needs to be cultivated slowly, what if it cannot be cultivated?They don't see each other well, well, the man can divorce his wife, or if he can't divorce, the backyard will catch fire and the family will be uneasy.

The promotion of a marriage seems to be a trivial matter in the family, but it is actually related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. More than two families are busy for a wedding for several months. What is the cost?What about the official census?The more powerful the more difficult it is, it seems that it has nothing to do with the court, but in fact, if it fails, it will be a waste of people's resources and financial resources. "

"This, this, a small marriage, why does it involve so much? According to what you say, isn't there a big problem with the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker? How should the court solve it?" Li Jiancheng asked puzzled.

Bai Fan waved his hand and said: "No, no, there has never been a perfect rule in marriage, so this incident, my son-in-law's opinion, since the other party wants me to come out to confront each other, take the opportunity to take me down.

It is better to make it public and let the people choose to judge. "

Li Er shook his head and said, "Most people follow the crowd blindly, how would they choose?"

"No, the people are actually the people who know the most about etiquette. Etiquette should come from the people, and then return to the people. Only when they are accepted by the people will they be passed on.

Fan's solution is to hold a public debate in Chang'an City. The topic of the debate is whether marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, or the free choice of men and women.

As for the two sides of the debate, those who support ancient rituals can publicly select ten people as representatives, and those who support humanized blind dates can also choose ten people to respond. Both sides prepare their own debate points.

If the two sides are on the same level, Chang'an City will select 50 elders with high moral character, 50 mature and prudent middle-aged parents, 50 young people who have married and have children, and 50 young people who have not yet married and have no favorite people. Party officials, a total of 100 people as referees, will finally evaluate the results.

Let's see whether the law of the ancestors should be changed. The result of the conference is the choice of the people, and His Majesty can follow the people's will. "

Li Er stroked his beard and smiled: "Boy, you must have made up your mind a long time ago. Your name of Bai Fan's iron-tongued debate is several years earlier than your apprentice Du Gou. With you, how can a group of Confucian scholars and masters come to you?" Aren't they going to be pissed off? They're going to win?"

Bai Fan took out a pamphlet and handed it over, and began to argue: "No, no, the boy has a public heart, regardless of personal enmity, he only wants to solve the national situation, even if the other party wins this time, it can only represent the public opinion. I, Bai Fan, have no official position. At worst, don't the Marquis go back to teach for the rest of his life, and with the royal family as his backer, can he still kill me?

These are the advantages and disadvantages of both parties in my handwriting. Your Majesty can hand it over to those respectful adults. I heard that Lord Wei Zheng is the leader this time. Your Majesty will tell Lao Wei to see the big from the small, and guide this matter to state affairs. There are different effects. "

Li Er smiled, "Seeing that you have a mature mind, you know who you must be plotting against. I heard that Old Master Yan and Mr. Wen Ji also opposed it. Why didn't they come to the stage to debate?"

"Those two old men have already been enlightened by my sincere words. They said that this time is a practical literary assessment for the students of the academy, and they will not participate in this matter as teachers." Bai Fan said seriously.

enlighten?Everyone covered their mouths and laughed instantly. Bai Fan's enlightenment might not be a good thing. The two old men don't know how they were abused.

Sealing and Pushing Testimonials

Today’s recommendation on the cover of Genesis, it is said that there must be a testimonial on the cover.

After thinking about it for a long time, I really don’t know what to say. Since everyone has supported me so much, I am only grateful. I am grateful to all the book lovers who like this book, and I am grateful to the editor Zhu Lida who has always helped and encouraged me.

I really want to write down all the book friends who support this book, but the space is not enough, and I will feel uneasy if I miss any one.

I have an idea that is ready to be realized. In addition to writing books and rewarding everyone more in the future, I also want to try to add everyone into supporting roles or appear in the book, because I think this is not my book alone. This is the Tang Dynasty dream woven together by all of us.

This idea will be put into action as soon as possible, or build a dragon set building, and everyone will describe the set they want by themselves, or I will build a group for everyone to discuss in it. The position of the set has nothing to do with money, as long as it is a fan who likes this book. Hate trolls and trolls.

I also want to declare that although this book is a new book and I am also a newcomer, I have never invited a sailor except for my small account to vote for recommendation. Book friends, although I really don’t understand how many people who sprayed me and said that I asked the navy to comment are thinking, why their psychology is so dark, and there is no basic trust between people, but their mouths belong to others , I am also very helpless.

There is also a book friend named 6595, who has to post five 66666 in the comment area at a fixed point every day. This looks the most like a navy, but he is really not. I understand that he is doing app activity tasks. Brother, it’s okay ,I support you!No matter what others say about whether you are a sailor or not, as long as we know whether we are or not.

Before, some book friends asked me to build a book friend group. I was actually afraid that trolls would come in and spray me, and I was also afraid that it would be embarrassing to build a group without anyone adding me. . .So it has not been built until now. I will try my best to do my best. If I find a reliable group leader, I will build it. I hope that brothers will support me a lot and don't embarrass me too much.

Well, let’s talk so much, my point of view has always been, don’t waste time with nonsense, and when you have time, come out with more code words to make everyone feel better.

Bow again and thank you all who have supported Hua Tsai along the way, I will work hard!Thanks!

Chapter 358 Everyone Prepares Before the Conference

"Everyone, three days later, the imperial court will set up a stage outside Chang'an City to hold the first public debate meeting in the Tang Dynasty. I've been walking around and taking a look. The imperial court will select [-] people with good moral character and high prestige to participate in witnessing. , I hope everyone will sign up to participate enthusiastically!" Teams of people beat gongs and walked through the streets to promote.

A commoner stopped and asked: "My little brother, what is a public debate meeting? We are all ordinary people, what are we going to participate in? Do you have any juggling fun?"

The leading Marquis Wu smiled and said: "Master, what kind of juggling is it? Isn't this a few days ago that Hou Bai of Lantian held a blind date meeting at home, and proposed that the younger generations and girls should choose who they want to marry, so as not to hurt their parents. Refers to the dissatisfaction of marriage.

At this time, Lord Genduo and his wife thought it was inappropriate, and advocated the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, so the court proposed to ask the two parties to have ten representatives from each party to have a debate to see which method is suitable for the younger generation to choose a spouse and marry. "

"Nonsense, since ancient times, it has been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can it be the children's turn to mess around?" The old man was instantly angry.

Marquis Wu Xu had seen a lot, so he didn't take it seriously, and persuaded him with a smile: "Don't get angry, the old rules have their benefits, and the new methods have their attractiveness. You are always mature and natural. I think parents see better than children.

But Bai Houye said that in the past, when parents pointed out marriages, many children would be dissatisfied with each other after marriage, resulting in family disharmony or remarriage. This would take time and effort, and would harm both families. As for the matter, can you always understand Hou Ye's painstaking efforts? "

Hearing this, the old man seemed to think of something related to the past, nodded lightly, and sighed: "The Marquis of Lantian is a benevolent and good man, naturally he will not cheat us people, he is trustworthy, so, the old man must go and see one look."

Seeing the success of the matter, Marquis Wu urged: "Master, Lord Marquis said that this is a national affair for generations to come, and it is also a matter of letting the children participate. It is best to take them to see it together. I am always there." When can I grow up listening to my parents at home?"

"got it!"

Publicity like this will be publicized on Chang'an Avenue every day. At the same time, a huge stand will be set up outside Chang'an City. Mohist disciples will preside over the construction to ensure that the audience can hear and participate during the conference. Originally, Bai Fan wanted to build one directly. The conference venue or the huge stadium, but there is too little time, so we can only talk about it later.

At the same time, a group of officials who have been notified by the imperial decree are also busy. Regarding the matter of adhering to the ancestral etiquette this time, they cannot give up an inch, so this debate must not be lost.

Wei Zheng, the boss of the Yushitai, looked at the seniors and Confucian scholars who were temporarily invited, as well as many Yushi officials, and said loudly in the middle: "Everyone, the situation is now clear. Although the matter is caused by Lantian Hou Baifan, everyone in his debate booklet I read them all.

Lan Tianhou was able to link the national economy and the people's livelihood from a small matter of marriage, but it was an act of serving the public wholeheartedly. It can be seen that his quality is not as good as that of an old man.

I was deceived by people the day before yesterday, thinking that the Marquis of Lantian was trying to destroy the ancestral etiquette, so I criticized him a lot, but today, the old man is here to tell you that the argument is not convincing. Regarding Lan Tianhou alone, regardless of whether our viewpoints succeed or fail in the end, we should not criticize him personally.

A person who can say that he worries about the world's worries first and enjoys the world's joys later, as an official, who would dare to say that he is dedicated to the country more than Lan Tianhou? "

"What Wei Gong said is reasonable, I will keep it in mind!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I didn't know the cause and effect before. Now Lord Bai has explained that the marriage involves the guarantee of the country's population, financial and material resources. Who dares to neglect such a major event? We will definitely do our best to perfect all the reasons. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or fails afterwards, I think it will definitely satisfy the needs of the people in the end." A young official said loudly.

Zhongnan Academy is also preparing. Only ten people can participate in this debate, and there are certain rules. It can't be as rude as haggling in a vegetable market, so this candidate is very important!

"It's okay for others not to go, but Junior Brother Du Gou must be indispensable." Cheng Huaimo shouted.

"Master Li said, I can't do it alone as the academy's liberal arts assessment this time!" Du Gou said.

Everyone nodded, "I'm not very good at speaking. I'm not very good at martial arts. Ten of the twenty counselors in the academy will be selected from the liberal arts."

"No, Master ordered. This time it is related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. Ten people are representatives. They can't all be people from our academy. It needs the support of the people.

We are going to Chang'an City to invite two more foreign aid. " Li Chengdao explained.

"Come on, senior brother, we asked in Chang'an City, and we heard that our academy disciples are fighting in the arena, who else would dare to participate?

People have said that Du Gou of Zhongnan Academy can fight ten against one, so he doesn't want to bring shame on himself. ’ someone explained.
