The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry

In the ancient times, rich people had three wives and four concubines.

The prerequisite is that you have money and can afford to support it.

"Why do ordinary people here have to marry more than one woman? It's an iron rule of the imperial court! Those who can't get enough women will be fined and even exiled!" Lu Yao became furious when she thought of this!

"What kind of weird rule is this? Why force others to marry more than one husband? Have you ever considered that many people can't even afford to marry?"

Even if I get married, how will I have and raise children?

Lu Yao thought of the more than 30 people in the Lu family and their previous poor life, which was mainly due to their many wives and children.

If this is the case for one family and every family, aren't the people in power in Feng Dynasty afraid of the collapse of the country's strength?

Jiang Yulang couldn't help but look at Zhou Chengxi, wanting to know the answer.

"This is a longer story." Zhou Chengxi sighed slightly.

When she first came here, she was also shocked by this shocking rule.

Her thoughts were similar to Lu Yao's. She also felt that this iron rule was meaningless to the rich and powerful.

But for ordinary people, it is really terrible!

Why should such an iron law be enacted?

For this purpose, Zhou Chengxi consulted a lot of historical materials about Feng Dynasty.

Following the chronicles, I finally found out that this iron law was promulgated in the third year after the founding empress of the Feng Dynasty, "Empress Zetian", ascended the throne.

It has been passed down since then, and has gone through five generations so far, with a history of more than one hundred years.

"Why did Empress Wu Zetian establish such an iron rule? It happens to be recorded in history books."

It turns out that this world has a history of nearly two thousand years and has seen many different dynasties.

Of course, no matter which dynasty or generation, women are dominant.

This is determined by the gender differences in the world, and men cannot oppose it even if they want to.

Whenever a dynasty changed, the country was in chaos, smoke of war rose everywhere, and the people were displaced by the war and lived in misery.

Zhou Chengxi: “Before the establishment of the Feng Dynasty, this land had been in war for decades.

Nine out of ten houses were empty, and a large number of women died on the battlefield. In the early days of the Feng Dynasty, there was a time when the number of men far exceeded that of women.

Therefore, after Empress Wu Zetian established the Xin Dynasty, she promulgated this iron law in order to restore the population and national strength.

It was the long years of war that led to the massive disappearance of the population, and the Feng Dynasty formulated policies to restore the population.

At that time, there were very few women and very many men. If there was no mandatory requirement for women to marry several husbands, there would be a large number of men who would never find a wife in their entire lives.

Although this regulation is strange, it is in line with the situation at the time.

Zhou Chengxi added: "I have looked up a lot of information from that time. If it had not been promulgated as an iron law, many people would not have married her even if they asked her to.

Because I can’t afford to support or give birth to a child after marrying her.”

“If we make it an iron rule, then we can afford to marry and support her?” Lu Yao’s neck stiffened.

Jiang Yulang answered quickly: "The imperial court doesn't care about the lives of the people."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhou Chengxi carefully, and then lowered his head.

Zhou Chengxi smiled and shrugged, not sure whether he agreed or disagreed with this statement.

“Although this iron law has left many people poor for life, it has indeed solved the population problem.

After the Feng Dynasty had been implemented for twenty or thirty years, the population recovered rapidly.

Farmlands were cultivated, wastelands were reclaimed, towns and villages gradually had people, and the Feng Dynasty gradually recovered.

The emperors who followed have always followed this iron rule, and it has continued to this day."

This is pretty much the origin of the iron law of marriage in Feng Dynasty.

Lu Yao curled her lips and said, "This iron law was originally issued to increase the population. Now that the population of Feng Dynasty is already quite large, why do they continue to implement this weird system?"

She always felt resentful about this iron rule that harmed the dog.

"Haha, in this kind of classical imperial society, there is a saying that 'the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed', so no one in the court mentions this matter." Zhou Chengxi laughed.

Jiang Yulang's beautiful big eyes began to roll around again.

'The rich and powerful can legally enjoy the blessings of life without having to worry about their livelihood. Why would anyone object?

As for whether the people live well or not, who cares! '

Zhou Chengxi heard Jiang Yulang's angry voice and said in surprise: I didn't expect that fellow Jiang looks weak but has a very tough and upright character.

"Daddy! By the way, the fine paid for not being able to marry can also enrich the national treasury, right!" Lu Yao understood!

It can both increase the country's population and generate revenue for the treasury. Those in power must think they are stupid to make this change, right?

Lu Yao held Zhou Chengxi's hands tightly and said seriously:

“My fellow countrymen, we come from a country with a fluttering red flag. We have known how to serve the people since childhood, and we also understand that a country can only be stronger and more enduring if its people live a happy and prosperous life.

We also know how to adapt to local conditions and keep pace with the times.

Times have changed, and if we stick to the old ways, problems are likely to arise.

Promise me that when you become emperor in the future, this iron rule must be abolished!

Change it to voluntary and resolutely abolish the unreasonable system of fines and exile! "

After being caught in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others.

The more miserable Lu Yao had been at the hands of this bizarre system, the more determined she was to abolish it.

As long as people live a prosperous life, the population will naturally continue to grow.

If you want to enrich the national treasury, you must rely on economic development rather than fines.

Lu Yao looked at Zhou Chengxi expectantly, silently reciting the words "prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony" in her heart.

Zhou Chengxi looked at Lu Yao deeply.

Since my fellow villager has asked me for a favor, it means he supports me.

Therefore, my hope of getting that position is much greater, isn't it!

After all, these are two powerful fellow villagers!

One with an encyclopedia that could change the world, one...

What is Lu Yao's fellow villager's golden finger?

Lu Yao said she didn't, but Zhou Chengxi always felt that Lu Yao did.

Moreover, the invisible golden finger is probably the most powerful.

Zhou Chengxi held Lu Yao's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, fellow villager. I will definitely not bring shame to our original world."

By the way, Zhou Chengxi announced another important secret——
