After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Regarding Wang Yongxin, Qin Yan believes that it is not a bad thing for businessmen to pursue profits, but if they act recklessly for profit and disregard laws and morals, they will eventually play with fire and get burned.

Master Chen, Qin Yan believed that greed was like a snake swallowing an elephant. He was originally a juren, and he learned the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, but he had the heart of a poisonous scorpion.

He also talked about how the law's care for scholars was intended to promote the imperial examination system, but without restrictions, it could easily become a means for some people to exploit.

He wrote this point very obscurely. Qin Yan did not want to offend the scholars in the world, but there would always be scholars who could understand it.

Wang Fujiao was greedy, lustful, domineering, and powerful, but she was also stupid. Stupidity also had its advantages; she never truly had the intention to kill. But because of her stupidity, she had lived a muddled life to this day.

Qin Yan thought that she was like this because she had no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and had not been educated, but only indulged.

People are born with desires, but smart people can control their desires, while stupid people are controlled by their desires.

But Qin Yan also talked about his views on women marrying multiple times.

First of all, there is divorce by amicable consent. He believes that there are few couples who divorce by amicable consent nowadays, but many couples divorce their wives. This phenomenon is very problematic. At least it shows that few women can take the initiative to end their marital relationship after getting married, which means they do not have enough choice.

Qin Yan finally restrained himself and did not write it directly, hoping that the law could add regulations on marriage.

He was just a student at the Imperial College and didn't have the confidence to do much.

Qin Yan could only focus on the clear laws of the imperial court that supported widows and widowers to remarry.

He believes that this move has many benefits. Firstly, it will open up the customs of the people and give women more choices.

But the implementation is not enough.

There are still women in the folk who have to remain widows for the rest of their lives after their husbands die. Some of them are willing to do so, but more of them obey the orders of their husband's family or their own family.

Qin Yan believed that widows should be able to make their own choices, which meant vigorously enforcing the laws of the court.

He didn't mind at all and directly compared it with his own family, mentioning the difficult life his family had after losing their biological father.

Before Qian Fengping got married, she lived a good life in her parents' home because her parents were still alive. Although they valued their sons more, they would not treat their daughters harshly.

After getting married, Qian Fengping subconsciously obeyed Qin Xiucai. Qin Xiucai was undoubtedly rigid. He believed that men should be in charge of the outside world and women should be in charge of the inside world, which was the balance of yin and yang and was natural.

The couple's life was quite harmonious, and Qian Fengping subconsciously began to soften herself and become a dignified scholar's wife. Therefore, after her husband's death, she could not immediately become as aggressive as other women in the village.

Qin Yan is filial and sensible, but he is young and cannot do many things. He can only watch his gentle mother, who holds the family property, endure step by step, and occasionally explode to protect the mother and son.

The mother and son had a very difficult time during those years, being looked down upon, bullied, and so on.

Their lives got better after Qian Fengping married into the family.

Before Fang Tong married into the family, he and his daughter did not live a good life. They were hungry one day and full the next, and were bullied and humiliated by their family members.

Fang Tong is smart and clever enough to deal with the biased old man and the selfish elder brother, but some things are hard to break free from.

For example, filial piety.

The word "filial piety" can crush a person to death.

Even now, Fang Yin and Fang Tong have been adopted and are no longer members of the clan, but they still have to call Old Man Fang "Uncle" in front of outsiders and cannot treat him as a stranger.

It’s not that they are not cruel enough, it’s because of filial piety.

Filial piety in the eyes of the world.

Marrying into another's wife's family is the first step for Fang Tong to break free from the shackles.

Well, Qin Yan certainly wouldn't write all of this in the article. He simply wrote about how difficult life was for him and his mother in the past, and how Fang Tong and Zhizhi were forced into a desperate situation.

Simply put, both parties were forced into a desperate situation due to various pressures, and it was the marriage that changed everything.

If the imperial court did not have this policy, Qin Yan and Qian Fengping, who had broken legs, would probably not have survived the disaster. Fang Tong would also likely have left the village and become a refugee for the sake of his daughter. How many refugees could survive?

Therefore, Qin Yan believed that this law could save lives and increase the population.

Finally, he wrote Fang Jin.

The victim Fang Jin is not so innocent in the whole thing.

Fang Jin is a selfish person. His parents, brothers, wife and children are all his tools.

Deep down, he is a person who has lost all humanity and only cares about interests.

He was also arrogant and proud, which Qin Yan believed was a habit he had developed since childhood, influenced by Grandpa Fang's constant calls that the eldest son was the most promising and could bring honor to the family.

Qin Yan was not polite to Fang Jin at all.

He mentioned that he was originally from Mushan Village, but he treated the villagers as peasants. He had the opportunity to study with the support of the farmers, but in turn thought that the villagers were ignorant and lowly.

Speaking of his vanity, he ignored the poverty of his family and repeatedly met with his so-called classmates, pretending to be rich in front of others.

Mentioned that he was irresponsible.

As a son, he had never been filial to his father and even caused his father to lose his hand.

As a father, he has never educated his own children. This is regardless of whether he is a son or a daughter. Although he favors sons over daughters, the reason he favors sons is so that he will have someone to take care of him when he is old, not because he loves his sons more.

It is obvious that Fang Jin has been studying for decades, but he has no time to teach his two sons to read and never considers their future.

As a husband, he first abandoned his wife and then despised his new wife.

Mentioned that he was unfaithful.

That's right, he was disloyal to the court. It was said that he had a sinister mind and no talent but was determined to become an official. His purpose of being an official was not to serve the people, but to seek personal gain. In other words, the goal that Fang Jin had always been striving for was to undermine the court.

This is great disloyalty.

In fact, he still wanted to write about Mr. Fang, but he didn't start in the end because of his identity.

No matter what, to outsiders, Mr. Fang gave birth to my father and my second uncle, and he is now my father's son. His every move more or less contains some of the meaning of my father or my second uncle.

So I decided not to write it.

After reading this long article, the teachers in the Imperial College all praised it and posted it on the wall of the Imperial College.

Therefore, the news spread among the students and caused a great sensation.

In fact, there are some views in the article that students still disagree with, even though Qin Yan wrote them in a tactful way.

One is that the law favors scholars. They believe that among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, scholars are superior to others.

If people in the world did not respect scholars, wouldn’t it be chaos?

Don't forget, scholars can govern the country.

There is another point, Qin Yan's opinion on the divorce. The students believed that Wang Fujiao committed adultery because she relied on the court's permission for divorce. It would be fine if he did not criticize her, but how could he encourage her in words and deeds?

Married women in the world should abide by the law and live with their husbands instead of thinking about divorce.

Regarding what Qin Yan said, that women should be educated, implying that studying is important, the students also have opinions, and that women's virtue lies in their lack of talent.

Anyway, there was a big uproar in the Imperial College because of an article. Some people thought that the teachers should criticize Qin Yan and not publish such a treasonous article.
