Quickly travel through the life history of a young couple

Father Shang did not expect that after he discussed it with his daughter after he returned, Shang Mohua directly agreed. He also wanted his daughter to think about it carefully.

"Dad, don't worry, I have thought about it. What you are worried about will not happen to your daughter. I saw Mrs. Chu San when I went to the shop to deliver the goods that day. She came out of the shop next door and she had just finished talking. My daughter is envious of the wanton publicity of her business. I am thinking that if the Chu family allows Mrs. Chu to go out, she will also be willing for me to come home often to take care of you and my brother. And I know how my reputation will be spread. They can find out as soon as they inquire, and they are willing to marry our family, which shows that they don't mind."

Shang Mohua slowly told her father what she was thinking. She didn't know what Chu Erlang was like, but she could tell that Mrs. Chu's life was not difficult in the Chu family. Whoever she married was not her fault.

Father Shang saw his daughter's resolute look and knew that she would not change her mind and would not force it.

Soon, the Chu and Shang families had decided on the marriage and exchanged the Geng Tie as quickly as possible. With this exchange of Geng Tie, the Chu family's hearts were settled.However, before exchanging Geng Tie, I secretly told the merchant that the merchant had no objection to Chu Erlang's past affairs. The Chu family was quite sincere. They knew it was the same thing from other sources, but what they said from the Chu family's mouth was another matter. Another thing.

There have been a lot of things going on recently, but one good thing will still make everyone feel better.Chu Bai felt very strongly about this. He was now perfectly integrated into the circle of exchanges between officials and officials, with Zhang Min in front of him and Yan Shao in the back.But now everyone gathers together not to exchange knowledge, but to discuss state affairs.

The war in the north has begun. Although it is not large-scale yet, there are only a few small-scale wars. Both sides have wins and losses, as if they are trying to find out the other side's bottom line.At the same time, the war between Shanxi and Shu slowly stopped. After all, they were recuperating in the winter. The tug of war between the two sides seemed to have calmed down. They only watched the war between Daliang and the Turks from the sidelines. The Turks and Khitan would not stop because of the winter recuperation. After coming down, they are now very short of food resources. This war is to allow them to survive the winter smoothly.

Daliang's current ministers in the DPRK and China have many suggestions on this. Although the war aspect needs to be changed in real time and there can be no specific plans, on top of other policies, these ministers are playing their own roles and competing for suggestions.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the female household policy confirmed by Empress Wu on her own.It is believed that if women do not marry and have children, the subsequent population will become smaller and smaller. When it comes time to go to war, it will be bad if the beams cannot gather enough young people.

Later, this topic gradually expanded to include lowering the age at which it is difficult to get married. It is believed that a girl of fourteen and a boy of sixteen can get married.

Regarding these statements, most officials in the court still agreed. This time, the emperor stood on the side of Empress Wu and did not agree because so many ministers all agreed on one thing, which was not conducive to the emperor's rule. He was worried about being pinched by the ministers. They are walking by nose, so the two sides are now in a stalemate.

This matter slowly spread in many places, and students or officials in most areas did not side with the emperor.Maybe there are selfish motives, or maybe there are other ideas, but this is the status quo.

Not to mention that students will discuss it in daily situations, even people on the street will discuss this matter.

This time, Chu Bai discussed the current situation with other students. He heard many people discussing how to persuade the emperor and empress, and there were various methods.Chu Bai was still thinking, fortunately, everyone usually has a good relationship, and their positions are relatively firm, and their ideas are relatively unified, otherwise we don't know when the quarrel will end.

After five or six people talked like this, everyone was tired and wanted to take a breath. At this time, they habitually turned their eyes to Chu Bai. Chu Bai was very interesting. He didn't speak at first. When everyone said they were tired, he got up and expressed himself. Views.Now that everyone is tired, it depends on what Chu Bai says.

"I have an idea that can break this situation. Whether you agree or disagree, this method is applicable." When Chu Bai said this, everyone's eyes gleamed when they looked at him.

"Whether it is the abolition of female households or lowering the age of marriage, in the final analysis it is to increase fertility and worry that the population of Daliang will be too small. But in addition to quantity, we must also look at quality. To use an analogy, because ten people are weak There is no better way to reassure parents than five healthy children. The bottom line of this matter is to allow Daliang to have a large number of healthy children in the shortest possible time. During this time, I also We have conducted a survey and focused on the data of Fucheng and surrounding towns, which is basically between ten and fifteen years." As he said that, Chu Bai took out a thick stack of paper from his desk.

"The time is relatively short, there may be omissions in the statistical process, and there may be some errors. Please forgive me. What is recorded here is the status of couples having children in the past ten to 15 years. Judging from the age at marriage, Most of them are between 17 and 15 years old. Most of the people who successfully give birth to their first child are between 18 and 20 years old. Children in this age group are now basically growing up healthily and are almost as good as pregnant women. They can be born at an early age, and the probability and number of premature deaths are much lower than those of other age groups.

Among people who get married under the age of 15, the number of people who can successfully conceive and give birth to their first child is very small. And in the follow-up investigation process, even if they are pregnant after birth, they basically do not raise the child until they are seven or eight years old. Death in infancy, or long-term illness and weakness. "Then, Chu Bai passed the first piece of paper to everyone to see. Chu Bai saw that everyone had read it, and then he said what was recorded on the second piece of paper.
