I open a restaurant in Daqin

Chapter 578
Why did three wives and four concubines appear in ancient times?

Many women in the 21st century can't understand this problem, they just feel that the ancient rules are very unfair to women.

Many men can't figure it out, they just think that those who have three wives and four concubines are rich men, and men without money can't even marry a wife.

Actually neither!

In peacetime, it is true that only men who have money are eligible to have three wives and four concubines. For men without money, it is good to find a wife to live by.

But the key is that in ancient society, were there so many peaceful periods?

It is said that strong men are so powerful in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Fu Song Dynasty, and Gangming Dynasty.

The strongest period of the Han Dynasty was nothing more than the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.However, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he fought east and west for dozens of years. The big man seemed to be so powerful that he shocked the world, but how many men's blood and lives did he actually pay?

In that era, how many men died, and how many women were unable to marry?

It just so happens that for the sake of war, a country needs to continuously increase its population.

At this time, various national policies came out. Even if you can endure loneliness as a woman, you don’t have to marry, but the national law will force you to marry.

If you do not get married at the age legally stipulated by the national policy, you are a sinner and you have to be punished.

Who can stand this law?
There are only a few men with partial births left, and even fewer men at home.

At this time, in fact, no matter whether the man likes it or not, as long as the woman chooses you, if you don't marry, they can even force you to marry, even if you are a concubine, they will be happy.

Therefore, it is unavoidable for the ancients to have three wives and four concubines.

This was the case during the Han Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, it was also expanding its territory. How can it be an exception?

What's more, the Song Dynasty was ravaged by the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongolian Kingdom in turn. The rich are rich, but the number of men has also decreased. Who can bear it?

Now that the Seven Kingdoms are in chaos and the Seven Heroes are fighting for hegemony, it can be said that it is a great era of the Warring States in history. Under such circumstances, everyone is unwilling to be a soldier.

But what can you do without being a soldier?To do hard labor?Or go into exile everywhere, waiting for the country to be destroyed?

All kinds of helplessness drive the people of this era. Even if they are afraid of death, they must rush to the battlefield at all costs.

At this moment, Qin Yong said that he wanted to take them in. For these soldiers, that was simply a great thing.

After all, Qin Yong is also a king. If he follows him, he will not have to work so hard in the future, and he can even be exempted from hard labor, and he can support his wife, children and mother. What a blessing for a man?

"Really, but you have to promise me one thing!"

Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Qin Yong nodded slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Xuan Wen, please speak!"

Everyone hurriedly responded.

"From today on, no matter what the reason is, what I say must not be violated!"

Qin Yongdao.

Everyone was taken aback, what does this mean?Everyone seems to have never disobeyed Xuan Wenjun's words, right?

Along the way, everyone also asked themselves that they took enough care of Qin Yong, and they really did their best.

Could it be that Xuan Wenjun is still dissatisfied?

Seeing everyone frowning, Qin Yong knew that everyone was thinking wrong, he said coldly: "I don't think you don't take care of me well, nor do you think you treat me badly, and I don't think you are disobeying me!"

"On the contrary, you guys did a great job, great job!"

Everyone was puzzled, Chen Shan said: "Why?"

Qin Yongdao: "I also know that you want to protect me. It's your duty. You are willing to die yourself, and you can't let me die. I am very moved and grateful!"

"But you have to understand one thing. This is not a national war. This is not a battle between two armies. Now we only have more than 100 people. Facing the background of each country, it is useless for you to rush forward. You can't play what a thousand troops should have. Powerful!"

"Before I said that you are a burden, maybe many of you are very angry. But I tell you now, you are not a burden, but I don't want you to die, understand?"

"When I was helpless, you came out to protect me. There is nothing wrong with it. I have nothing to say about your responsibilities. But I have a way to deal with it. If you die, it means death in vain. Tell me, should I let you die? ?”

Everyone understood, and they couldn't help but bow their heads.

It turns out that after talking and talking so much, it is precisely because of what happened just now.

That's right, before Qin Yong said that everyone was a burden, everyone felt very uncomfortable.

But now everyone understands that, after all, Qin Yong is protecting them.

For so many years, there have been dozens of battles on the battlefield, and they have only experienced soldiers fighting for the generals, and it was the first time that they felt that the leaders were fighting for the people below.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned red, and their hearts were inexplicably soft.

"Remember, my Qin Yong's life is my life, and yours is also my life. I'm very happy that you help me, but since I brought you out, I can't let you die in vain. I also have an obligation to protect you!"

"In the future, if I tell you to leave, you will leave without any delay. To tell you the truth, in the situation just now, don't say I have a way, even if I can't, even if I can't beat them, but I want to escape, who can Can you stop it?"

"But once I'm gone, you'll still be there. Who will be able to protect you then?"

"You are the sons of my Daqin, you have to save your lives, do more things within your power for my Daqin, and do your part for my Daqin to be strong and prosperous."

"When it's time to work hard, I will naturally let you work hard, but when you shouldn't do it, it's stupid, understand?"

Everyone's heart trembled, including Chen Shan, who couldn't help lowering their heads.

"Understood!"

After a long time, everyone said in unison.

Now, they really have to accept reality.

What Qin Yong said made sense. Without them, Qin Yong could run for his life at any time. What they should do, in the final analysis, is to obey orders.

"Okay, everyone, let's rest!"

"Chen Shan, count the casualties later, record the dead, the old rules, send it to Xianyang, and ask the king to convey it to Xuanwen Jun's mansion. Everyone died because of me, and I should do my part for everyone. Their Family, let me take care of it!"

Qin Yong waved his hand and gave instructions to Chen Shan while speaking.

Previously, Qin Yong had asked Chen Shan to sort out such a casualty report.

Chen Shan didn't understand that such compensation for casualties was often arranged by the country itself, and Qin Yong's intervention like this had never happened before.

But he could also see that Qin Yong had good intentions, and what he said made sense, so he wrote it according to Qin Yong's instructions and posted it.

"promise!"

Receiving the same order again at this moment, Chen Shan bowed his hands and said, "However, Mr. Xuan Wen, my subordinates will monitor the other side first, and deal with it slowly when we have time!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

What do you mean?
On the other side, is there another battle next?
However, neither Qin Yong nor Chen Shan answered everyone's questions. Qin Yong nodded slightly, and Chen Shan turned around and left immediately.
