Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 158 Zaizi, when will you marry a wife? (4K)

As soon as the sky brightened, Zai Yu opened his eyes.

It's not that he has a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but because it's too cold and he woke up from the cold.

This is the coldest time of the year, but even though it is the twelfth lunar month, it is extremely rare to be as cold as this year.

The climate in the spring and autumn period was much warmer than that of Chen Tao's. The area north of the Yellow River was full of subtropical plants such as bamboo and plum trees.

Therefore, when Zaiyu came to Qi State this time, he only prepared a fur coat.

Now that the weather is suddenly cold, he is really not resistant to freezing.

He got out of the cold blanket tremblingly, and when he put on his clothes, he felt his arms were a little stiff from the cold.

He opened his mouth to call to the innkeeper, added some new firewood to the camp stones used in the room, the flint rubbed and splashed sparks, sat by the fire for a long time, and felt his body warmed up a lot.

Jae Yu recalled the new harvest in the library last night and sighed.

"I was really born in a good time. If the time is pushed back another 700 years, the Huai River will be frozen in winter. In this kind of weather, how can common people live!"

According to the current climate, the agricultural production in the Qilu area can completely achieve two crops a year.

However, limited by manpower, production tools and arable land conditions, we can only use the method of crop rotation. Most of the farmland is three crops in two years, and only a few good fields can be two crops a year.

This trip to Qi State solved the matter of the blacksmith and obtained a stable source of iron farm tools.

If we can get some start-up funds from Marquis Qi, then we will have the money to open canals, divert water and improve the conditions of farmland.

If we go back and import a batch of phosphate rock from Zhuguo and burn some phosphate fertilizer, then next year's grain production will not be at least doubled?
Now that there is enough food, we have to consider increasing the population.

Zaiyu studied the fertility policies of various countries in detail last night, and happened to find a plan that has been proven to be successful.

That is the population growth plan implemented by King Goujian of Yue 20 years later.

First, mature men are not allowed to marry old women, and old men are not allowed to marry young girls. Marriages that are not for the purpose of having children are all hooligans. We Vietnamese people don’t believe in love that crosses ages!

Second, women are 17 years old and men are 30 years old. If they are not married, their parents will all be sent to prison. When the children are married, they will be released.

Third, when a woman in Vietnam is about to give birth, she must report to the state in advance, and the state will arrange for medical officers and midwives to come and take care of her, so as to minimize the death caused by childbirth.

Fourth, if a boy is born in the family, two jugs of wine and a dog will be rewarded.Those who give birth to a girl will be rewarded with two jugs of wine and a pig.Those who give birth to triplets will be assigned wet nurses by the state.If twins are born, the state will provide childbirth subsidies.

Fifth, in the case of orphans, widows, disabled or poor families, the state is responsible for supporting and educating their children.

When Zaiyu saw these policies, he felt very good.

First of all, this is a policy that has been certified as feasible in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods.

Second, the cost of these policies is also within a reasonable range.

As long as everyone is willing to give birth, isn't it money?
Do you think I can't afford it or something?
Not to mention giving birth to a child with two pots of wine and a pig, none of my planned new residential areas are listed for sale yet!

As long as everyone digs coal and farms during the day and works hard at night, Zaizi guarantees that you will have a bright future!

After three children, they will be exempted from corvee labor for an additional year.

After five children are born and all children reach the age of eight, they will enroll in Tuqiu Township School collectively for free.

After eight births, the special title of "Many Children and Grandchildren" will be awarded, and a set of commercial housing in Tuqiu New Residential Area will be awarded to the husband and wife.

If the conditions are particularly difficult and you really can't find a partner, I can also arrange a blind date for you.

Under such conditions, if there are still diehards who cannot resist.

An older single man like Kong Li must pack a punch!
The whole family underwent labor reform, and all of them were sent to mines outside the city to dig coal!

When will you figure it out, and when will you release it!

I said this, even if the Master is here, it won’t work!

Zaiyu was thinking about his population plan when suddenly Zigong opened the door and walked in.

When Zai Yu saw him, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked like a negative model.

He asked abruptly, "Zigong, when do you plan to have a baby?"

Zigong was taken aback by his question, and replied angrily.

"I don't even have a wife, how can I give birth? It's not in accordance with Zhou etiquette to marry a man and a woman without marriage!"

"Then why don't you marry? Look at you. You are handsome, talented, wealthy, and well-spoken. Can't a person like you find a girl to marry?"

Zigong said contemptuously: "Yesterday you told me how could a real man grow old under Lin Quan, why did the pattern disappear today?
If a man doesn't marry, he's fine, but if he marries, he must be Qi Jiang and Song Zi!How can an ordinary woman catch my eyes? "

"Qi Jiang Songzi?"

Zai Yu said seriously: "Zigong, what you said is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

Zaiyu said: "It is said in the Poetry:
Under Hengmen, you can stay late.Secreted by the ocean, can be happy and hungry.

Does it eat fish, but the bream of the river?How can it be said that when it takes a wife, it must be the ginger?
Does it eat fish, but the carp of the river?How can it be the son of Song Dynasty when he takes his wife?
If you want to eat fish, do you have to eat bream and carp to be called eating fish?

To marry a wife, do you have to marry the daughters of the Qi and Song governments to be called a wife? "

Zigong dismissed it and said, "Although these are indeed words in the Poetry, I can't agree with them.

The person who wrote this poem obviously couldn't marry Qi Jiang and Song Zi, so he deliberately said some sarcastic words!

Everyone knows that the women of the Song and Qi dynasties are the most beautiful in the world.

Qi had Wen Jiang, Xuan Jiang, Zhuang Jiang and many other beauties, and Song State also had such a beauty as Nan Zi.

There are also sentences praising them in "Poetry":
Hands are like catkins, skin is like creamy fat, collar is like grub, teeth are like gourd rhinoceros, gnat's head is moth eyebrows, smile is charming, and eyes are beautiful.

After seeing such beauties, can you still have room for other women in your eyes? "

After hearing this, Zaiyu couldn't help cursing: "Damn! Duanmuci, you are vulgar, you are low!"

Zi Gong was also angry: "Why am I so low? What's wrong with me liking beautiful women?
The master said: A gentleman is open-minded, and a villain is long-suffering.

If I like it, I like it. Shouldn't I be allowed to say it?
Besides, don't you like it too?Why don't I like it? "

"Damn! I like it, I like it, but I can do whatever I say, even if my master asks me, I dare to say that in front of his old man!

But you kid obviously didn't answer like that in front of your master last time! "

When Zi Gong heard this, his face blushed suddenly: "Master... Can you take what Master said in front of you seriously? Contingency! Contingency, do you understand?"

Jae Yu was stunned: "Isn't this my words?"

Zigong also knew that he was in the wrong, so he had no choice but to persuade him like mud: "Okay, okay, I know you said it. I will help you record this sentence in "The Analects of Confucius" later, is it okay?

"The Analects of Confucius Ziwo" Ziwo said: Those who have power have power.I don't know? "

After hearing this, Zai Yu was still dissatisfied, he snorted, and said: "That's not acceptable, this paragraph is incomplete, and I have to add another sentence.

"The Analects of Confucius Zi Gong" Zi Gong said: I love female sex, what is wrong with it?Are the words of others true? "

Zi Gong was choked by Zai Yu and was speechless, he was silent for a long time, then his mind suddenly turned around.

"Huh? That's not right! Son, you always push me to get married, why don't you marry a wife?"

"me……"

Now Zaiyu was speechless.

Zi Gong teased: "You are so valued by the Marquis of Qi now, you can go and ask him to marry a woman from the Duke of Qi!

Isn't Qi Jiang not worthy of your high status as Zaizi Tuqiu?

If you marry the daughter of the Marquis of Qi, the land in Lu Kingdom will be divided into one-third of an acre. Even if the monarch meets you, wouldn’t you be honored as a son? "

"Zigong, you're going too far! When a man lives in the world, he should clean up the world, so he can live in peace!"

Zigong didn't speak, just nodded and looked at him: "Yeah."

Zaiyu felt guilty when he looked at him, so he had to say again: "A man should be his home everywhere!"

"Ah."

"The barbarians are not extinct, so what is the family?"

"Ah."

"I was a little aggressive just now, let's talk about something else."

"Ok."

Zai Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead.

It's not that he doesn't want to marry a wife, it's just that what he's doing now is too risky.

Whether it's expelling Yang Hu or defrauding Marquis Qi, it's all about pinning your head to your belt.

If one is not careful, it will be the disaster of extermination.

If he didn't deal with these guys first, wouldn't he be harming people if he rashly married a wife and had children?

He really wanted to marry the daughter of Marquis Qi, but such a political marriage would not be his turn.

The women of Qi State's public office are either married to the princes, or promised to be high-ranking officials of the world's ministers.

Even a guy like Yang Hu who is in charge of the country's fate is not qualified to mix into the upper class circle of the big old money.

In other words, if his son wants to marry Qi Jiang, he has to climb to the position of Lu Guosanhuan in order to speak at the poker table.

Ugh……

It seems that the important matter of marriage has to be postponed for a while!

But looking at it this way, Zhao Wuxie and his sister seem to be quite suitable?
Jae Yu was thinking about the confused future when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zi Gong pushed open the door, and Fan Li walked in.

Seeing Zaiyu's pensive look, Fan Li couldn't help asking with a smile, "What's wrong with Zaizi today?"

Zigong smiled and said, "He is thinking about what kind of woman he should marry. Shaobo, what kind of woman do you like?"

"Me?" Fan Li laughed loudly, "Of course I'm virtuous and gentle."

When Jai Yu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him.

Are you a liar?

How did I remember that your kid married Xi Shi!

Zhuxia's history spans 5000 years. In terms of appearance, your wife ranks first. Are you ashamed to say that?
Everyone said that they liked good moral character, and when they really married wives, they all went for young and beautiful wives.

nausea!

My son felt like vomiting when he heard it!

However, after Fan Li sat down, he didn't dwell on this issue for too long, but made a request.

"That... Zaizi, I have a merciless request here."

Zai Yu calmed down his messy mood and asked, "Please tell me, but I will do my best wherever I can."

When Fan Li heard this, he immediately smiled.

"I knew that with your heart, it would be impossible to refuse my request. That's right, Mr. Ou has always wanted to enter Linzi's iron smelting workshop to observe.

However, according to the laws and regulations of the State of Qi, the iron smelting workshops are all state-owned, and without the order of the monarch or Gongzheng, no one else is allowed to enter.

Gan Jiang and the others had tried their best to coordinate with the relevant officials before, but they had been unable to find the right way and were never allowed to enter.

I heard that you were summoned by the Marquis of Qi yesterday, so..."

When Zai Yu heard this, he immediately understood what Fan Li meant.

Those who are not familiar with the place where they live, and there is no one above, it is difficult to do things.

Then you have found the right person.

However, he didn't intend to give the other party an affirmative answer immediately.

If he agreed without hesitation, and things went wrong in the end, he couldn't explain to Fan Li.

If the matter is done, it will make Fan Li feel that this matter is not difficult, and he will not be able to remember this favor.

If he gave an indeterminate answer, even if the matter was not completed, Fan Li and Ou Yezi would not remember his credit, but still remember his hard work.

So Zaiyu just replied: "Since Mr. Ou entrusted me, I should try my best to do it.

But Qihou's temperament is changeable, and he and I are just acquainted for the first time, so I'm not sure what the final result will be. "

Fan Li was mentally prepared for this, and he replied: "Li naturally understands this, as long as you are willing to help.

As for whether you can succeed in the end, that is not up to you. "

Zaiyu nodded. He looked at the sun outside the window, gathered up his fur coat, and said to Zigong.

"Yesterday, Marquis Qi made an appointment with us to meet this afternoon, so it's about time we left."

The two extinguished the charcoal fire in the room and walked out of the hotel along the corridor.

As soon as he came to the door, he saw a carriage parked there.

And Tian Heng was sitting in the car, holding a book, reading it engrossed.

The servants at the side saw Zaiyu and others coming out, and immediately reported to him: "Master, Zaizi and the others have come out."

Hearing this, Tian Heng immediately put down the scroll in his hand, got out of the carriage with the help of his servants, and saluted them with a smile.

"Zaizi."

Zai Yu asked doubtfully, "Why are you here?"

Tian Heng smiled and said: "Last night you told me that the monarch will summon you today, so I guessed whether he intends to invite the two of you to a monthly private banquet."

"Private banquet?" Zai Yu asked, "Does Marquis Qi invite people to a banquet every month?"

Tian Heng replied: "You must have heard that the monarch likes to drink, but he doesn't like to drink alone, but likes to have fun with others.

Therefore, whenever the monarch is in high spirits at night, he will visit the mansions of the ministers one by one in his car and invite them to drink and have fun together.

For this matter, there have been many anecdotes. "

　Qiaodu sack, is there anything wrong with me begging for tickets like this? Now, tell me.Search Karma, you have not voted for me!What a ruthless reader, Goba Nase, let you see something unpleasant.It would be nice if a writer like me just disappeared.Maybe only in the Two-dimensional world can there be truly wonderful readers, right?
