Mohist Tang

Li Shimin said solemnly: “The matter of marriage is not a trivial matter, but is related to the stability of the countrys society, going down to the common people, going up to the backyard of the Imperial Palace, and asking for nothing but family and prosperity. Self-cultivation Qi Family governs the country and the world, if the family is restless, how can you serve the country with peace of mind? Today’s Hu Family female affairs, let me be alert, since there are many problems in marriage in the world, how can I just ignore it.”

“All Listens to your Majesty!” Qunchen said respectfully.

Even Quan Wanji has nothing to say, no matter how stubborn people are, they all hope that their family will be harmonious and their father is kind and filial.

Li Shimin looked around for a week, watching Mo Dun squeeze Fire Dao with anger: “Mo Dun, since this happened because of you, then let you talk about my Great Tang marriage. Defects?”

Mo Dun didnt know that he had already revealed his stuff, and said confidently: One is to get married with close relatives; the other is to get married early, and the third is to be a married baby. For the child bridesmaid, the fifth is to arrange the marriage and the parents interfere in the marriage.”

When Mo Dun’s voice fell, the ministers felt heavy. Who would have thought of the traditional way of matching the words of the parents Next, so many problems are hidden.

Li Shimin’s hands trembled, and paused said: “Everyone discuss it! If you have any questions, you can confront Mo Dun face to face. Today I am waiting for all the problems to be solved one by one, and it is also the man and woman in the world. Good marriage.”

All the ministers were speechless and looked around.

Zhangsun Wuji clenched the teeth and said: “Back to His Imperial Majesty, this small official thinks, Marriage between close relatives is very harmful. According to this small official investigation, many married couples have children who are disabled and foolish, and many of them die from many diseases. The harm is great. Please also Your Majesty to order the public to be expressly prohibited.”

The marriage between Zhangsun Chong and Princess Changle has been cancelled for nearly a year, and it is no problem to mention it at this moment, and it is most appropriate for him to initiate it.

In fact, Zhangsun Wuji resents Mo Duns marriage of close relatives. Although Zhangsun Wuji resents that Mo Dun has lost the opportunity of a hundred years of wealth and wealth, it is not without a trace of happiness. Zhangsun Family has developed into a huge monster. If the future Zhangsun Family is in the hands of a fool, I am afraid that is the future that will cut off the Zhangsun Family.

Li Shimin glanced at Zhangsun Wuji with satisfaction. Although the marriage of close relatives involves Zhangsun Chong and Princess Changle being suppressed, it is impossible to delay indefinitely, although Mohist Periodical has spread among the folks about the marriage of close relatives. Harm, but the effect is not obvious. There are still many people getting married with close relatives among the people.

“In this case, Zhangsun Minister added this ban when revising the Law of Zhenguan, and all relatives within three generations of the five generations and collateral lines cannot be married.” Li Shimin nodded and said.

“This small official, obey!” Zhangsun Wuji sighed in relief, and then he retreated.

“This small official has some doubts about early marriage.” Zhangsun Wuji just stepped back and Quan Wanji immediately went out.

“Quan Minister, please speak.” Li Shimin said.

Quan Wanji nodded and said: “Replying to his Majesty, I am to the law that men and women can get married at fifteen. However, the Medical School of Thought believes that men and women need physical development before they can get married. Its not right.”

“Development is complete, how old is that?” Li Shimin frowned, turned his head and looked towards Mo Dun and asked:

Mo Dun said in a vacant heart: “18 years old.”

Li Shimin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could relax, he heard Mo Dun continue to say: “It’s not a false year, but a full year.”

“One year old?” The ministers asked in doubt.

Mo Dun explained: “Great Tang currently calculates the age by using an imaginary age. Birth is one year old, and one year is increased every Spring Festival. The Medical School of Thought believes that this calculation age is extremely inappropriate. , If a baby is born on New Years Eve and another baby is born on the Spring Festival, the difference between the two is one day, but the calculation is one year apart. If it is the same year, the same year, the end of the year, the same year, but one tottering, the other is still in the baby In.”

Mo Dun explained clearly, and the officials could not help being nodded.

“Medical School of Thought calculates the age from the date of birth, until the birthday one year later, it is counted as one year old, which is the virtual age of 15 years old that I stipulated. of Thought seems to be only 13 years old.” Mo Dun said bitterly.

“13 years old!” Li Shimin suddenly felt shocked, 13 years old was still a child and has been married. No wonder Medical School of Thought is such a big reaction.

“The minister opposes!” Quan Wanji said loudly.

“Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, our population has withered, the land is barren, the Retired Emperor and Your Majesty have rehabilitated, and the population has gradually recovered. However, it is still not as good as before. If a woman gets married at the age of 18, our Great Tang population will grow. It must be greatly reduced. There will be a shortage of men by then, and this will endanger the Imperial Court!” Quan Wanji screamed, eighteen years old, isn’t that 20 years old? In the current situation of Great Tang, he is already the mother of several babies. .

At this time, the population is labor, which can create wealth, there are taxes, and there are forces. In order to increase the population, rulers often encourage early marriage. When Quan Wanji said this, he was immediately affected. The minister’s approval.

Mo Dun retorted: “Early marriage is very harmful. According to the Medical School of Thought Statistics, there are countless cases of women having a dystocia and two lives. In this way, instead of increasing the population, it is counterproductive. As for population Growth, and as the Medical School of Thought flourishes, the number of infant deaths in the future will definitely decrease, and the child survival rate will increase dramatically. When the time comes Your Majesty, Im afraid its how to accommodate so many newborns.”

What’s the point of having more births? Survival is the right reason. As an expert in gynecology and pediatrics, Sun Simiao has started to write medical books on obstetrics and gynecology, and started to instruct female doctors in the Female Medical Academy. The survival rate of Great Tang’s infants and young children will surely increase greatly. When the time comes, the entire Great Tang will surely usher in a population peak.

“Assume a woman, married at the age of eighteen, has five children in her life, within 100 years, can give birth to five generations, and has a population of nearly one hundred people in four generations.”

Ministry of People High Official Dai Zhou nodded, Ministry of People is in charge of the National Household Registration Statistics. In some wealthy families, the population of four generations under one roof is really hundreds of people.

“The population of Great Tang and so on will double every 20 to 40 years. At present, Great Tang has a population of 3.8 million households and a population of 20 million. After 20 years, the population will reach 40. million, the population will be hundreds of millions in a hundred years, this small official may ask Your Majesty, whether my Great Tang is ready to feed hundreds of millions of people in a hundred years.” Mo Dun’s voice is sonorous, shaking the Imperial Court like thunder.

“Hundreds of millions of people?” Entire Court officials suddenly looked at Mo Dun inconceivably.

Li Shimin was shocked and immediately turned his attention to Ministry of People High Official Dai Zhou.

Dai Zhou quickly leaned over and counted on the Chaohuo. The more he counted, the more frightened he became. After a while, he was already brow beaded with sweat. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and stood up and said: “If Medical School of Thought can guarantee the survival rate of newborn babies. After a hundred years, our population may be hundreds of millions.”

Entire Court ministers suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air. Before that, they were worried about postponing the marriage age of women. , Is unfavorable for population growth, and such worries have disappeared at this moment.

Great Tangs population has skyrocketed, but the land growth has not kept up. If there are more people and less land, the land output will not be able to feed so many people, Im afraid when the time comes, the people will not live, and the chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty will definitely be there. Great Tang repeats itself.

Mo Dun secretly nodded, but he knows how severe the population growth rate is. In the later Tang Profound Sect period, the population has reached more than 80 million. If there is another Medical School of Thought Moving forward, Great Tangs population of over 100 million is not impossible.
