Qiming 1158

Chapter 945 Shen Ge decides to oppose
Shen Ge's question is a bit interesting, and it is a situation that everyone has not considered for the time being.

So everyone looked at each other and said they had never thought about it.

Su Yonglin's eyes lit up, and he already knew what Shen Ge was going to say.

"Because of my work, I have to read a lot of books. While reading the books, I found some historical materials about the history of ancient times. After reading, I have a very important insight. I don't know if you agree with me. comprehend."

Shen Ge took a deep breath and said, "The so-called matchmaker's words for parents are just an expedient measure by the ancients to ensure the population of the country and the inheritance of the family, which gradually evolved and became the rule after being forced to do so. , not from the beginning.”

Shen Ge's conclusion aroused everyone's astonishment and caused a wide-ranging discussion. After about a stick of incense, Su Yonglin ended the chaotic discussion and asked Shen Ge.

"Go ahead and say what you think."

"clear."

Shen Ge nodded and said, "I read the ancient books of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and there are records in the ancient books. It is said that in the three pre-Qin dynasties, the government would hold group activities at a fixed time and place. When the event started, the government would organize a large number of young men and women to participate.

At that time, most young men and women in China will go to participate in group activities, play with each other, even take off their clothes, show people with their bodies, let loose, and even become short-term couples during the activities.

As for how long this relationship can be maintained, it is probably maintained until the next event is held. When the next event is held, if you are still willing to maintain the relationship, you may be able to maintain it. If you do not want to maintain it, you can go to find a new Kansai .

Reading this, I feel absurd, but after thinking about it carefully, I feel that this may be the custom at that time. There is no record of marriage between men and women in ancient books at that time. Maybe there was no such stable in-laws at that time. relationship, and if there is no stable marriage and no acquaintance between men and women, there will be no population growth.

National development and military expeditions do not require population. In order to obtain enough population, the government can only come forward to organize large-scale group activities, hoping to increase the population and achieve development through such activities one by one. "

"so what?"

Kong Maojie smiled and said, "What's the point of you saying so much?"

"The next thing is the focus."

Shen Ge opened his mouth and said: "For the country, the marriage of men and women can increase the stability of the people and the stable acquisition of the population, which is of great significance to the country. Therefore, the superiors all hope that the men and women of the people will form a stable husband and wife relationship in order to strengthen the The stability of the country is the upper-level factor that emerges from the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents."

"So folks?"

Kong Maojie also seemed to realize what Shen Ge wanted to say.

"The folks are of course very simple. Men and women who are parents hope that their children can reproduce like themselves, and pass on the family blood so that they can inherit the family property and provide for their own old age. This is quite difficult for ordinary people.

Not to mention other things, just talking about the number of lifespans, the folks who can live over thirty are the main ones, and those who live over forty are considered elders in the countryside. In this way, if you don’t get married and have children early, how can you ensure family inheritance?If the parents are not dead and the children are dead, how are they going to support them? "

Kong Maojie knew what Shen Ge wanted to express.

"I understand, so you want to say that in order to ensure the country obtains enough population, folk family inheritance and the safety of family elders, children are required to marry early, and early marriage is not something that young children can decide. Therefore, Did you have the words of your parents' life matchmaker?"

"Isn't that true? Zhou Wenwang got married and had a child at the age of 13. Comrade Maojie, you don't think that the 13-year-old Zhou Wenwang can handle his marriage properly, right? Even if King Wen is like this, let alone the folks?"

After Shen Ge finished speaking, he stopped looking at Kong Maojie, but looked at Su Yonglin, and said, "Chairman, although there are some mistakes in the matchmaker's words, but from the court's standpoint, it is important to maintain civil stability and promote population growth. There is an irreplaceable role.

I think your original intention is good, but once the good intention falls into the people, it will be magnified infinitely. At that time, I don’t know how many men and women will not want to get married, which will lead to endless family conflicts, complaints from the people, and stability challenges. , and more importantly, population growth will decrease.

In this way, a large number of folk families are more likely to become extinct and broken in ten or twenty years. It is okay if the elders have passed away by then. If the elders are still there, the son is dead and there are no grandchildren. At that time, what will they do?

The policies pursued by the imperial court have caused such changes among the people, causing the families of the people to be ruined, suffering serious losses, and everyone resenting the imperial court. So should the imperial court admit its mistakes?If admitted, how to make up for it? "

Shen Ge revealed his worries and all, and finally got to the heart of this issue.

Su Yonglin considers the problem from a human point of view, while Shen Ge considers the problem from the point of view of the ruler of the country who has no personal feelings.

Both of them are not wrong, but this problem is to come up with a solution after all, and it can't be left here.

So Su Yonglin was silent for a while.

There was an unnerving silence in the hall for a while.

Finally, with a long sigh, Su Yonglin broke the silence.

"Life is very difficult, and there are only two tasks when you are born, one is to farm the land, and the other is to stay, and the most important thing is to stay. After completing this task, it is like dry oil that has been drained of oil and water. Can be abandoned, can die at any time.

It seems that as long as you stay, people themselves are worthless, and you can even not be seen as a person, and you can directly kill them. Is it too cruel? "

Su Yonglin focused his words on the five words "the past you", obviously reminding them not to forget where they came from.

There was a long, suffocating silence in the hall of the Central Conference.

Shen Ge felt inexplicable uneasiness, but he still chose to stick to his own views and insisted on the hard-won courage to oppose.

"On this matter, even if I am convicted, I will insist on my opinion. I always think that we must consider the Kingdom of Daming from the perspective of the Kingdom of Great Ming. The establishment of the Kingdom of Daming is not easy. still remember.

Because of this, once this state is broken, the Ming Congress will be shaken by the national capital, the population will be reduced, the family will be broken, the people will be turbulent, and everyone will complain... So Chairman, no matter what, I will stick to my opinion. "
