Back Off, Let Me Come

The Great Seal has many uses.

As long as national luck is given up, the national seal can allocate national luck to ensure good weather in certain places within the territory, bring rain to places suffering from drought, and even use national luck to bless an area to reduce the pain of patients in plague-ridden areas.

National luck, it can be used in too many places.

In the past, the rulers liked to use it to consolidate their rule, but Shen Tang wanted to use it to do something that was the first of its kind in the world! All the ministers subconsciously straightened their backs and listened attentively. Shen Tang said, "I want women to have the right to live or not."

Everyone is puzzled.

They couldn't keep up with Shen Tang's brain circuit.

But not including Gu Chi. His face was visibly solemn and worried, but he did not interrupt Shen Tang's words. Everyone listened as the young lord said with a gentle expression: "All living things are born from a woman's crotch, but giving birth is really a very risky matter, especially the continuous births. As long as the body can still give birth, most women will give birth until they are infertile. until."

Many people's expressions could no longer hold up.

He was impatient and even wanted to stop Shen Tang with words.

It's not that they want to commit a crime, but the topic of their own lord is too dangerous - she is the leader of a force and the master of a country. The population under her rule needs women to give birth, and only women can give birth in the world. If there are not enough people, taxes will not be enough to maintain the operation of the power, and recruiting troops will become a problem. If a neighboring country invades, it will be a fish on the chopping block. How is it different from suicide?

If this word spreads, it will shake people's hearts even more.

Qian Yong opened his mouth, looked around but saw no one coming out, and swallowed what he wanted to say - as long as this matter didn't spread, it would be fine. Even if the news spreads, it is said that the master is young and has wild and unconstrained ideas, and he can still get it done.

Shen Tang didn't seem to notice everyone's reaction, and kept talking about his explosive idea: "My initial idea is to let the women of the right age in the country receive the blessing of national luck, and the husband and wife having sex can isolate Yuanyang and prevent the woman from getting pregnant frequently. Of course, this can also Reduce the risk of women suffering from gynecological diseases due to unhealthy and unhygienic married life. Hygiene problems are really serious..."

Her official office established several perfume shops.

Judging from the quarterly business feedback from perfume shops, ordinary people don't like to take baths. Economic problems are on the one hand, and personal habits on the other. The physiological differences between men and women lead to men not caring about hygiene, and women as partners suffer very much. Women in prosperous cities and towns are better off, but women in remote rural areas basically suffer from gynecological diseases. This detail is what Dr. Dong said.

The atmosphere in the camp was silent.

Until Gu Chi asked her seriously: "Forced?"

Shen Tang shook his head: "Of course it's not forced. Our initial assumption is that women of appropriate age can control this bit of national destiny with their will."

Zhao Feng abruptly broke off several beards. There were some things he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start. When I was worried, a familiar gentle voice came from the air: "The Lord's compassion for the people is deeply touching. However, now that the melee has just passed and the various places are in depression, it is the time to encourage the people to recuperate, work in peace, and have children. The Lord's move, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate.”

At this time, we should seize the time to encourage the people under our rule. They should get married and have children when they should, but at this juncture, my lord wants to use his precious country here. Considering the current situation, this is definitely a foolish move! Not to mention what you think of the civil service under the rule, the male commoners under the rule are also going to be in trouble... There are even enemies who are secretly eyeing them to add fuel to the fire.

Qin Li knew that Shen Tang had a good heart.

But this is not the time for this proposal.

At least we must wait until the country is stable and the population is so large that the fields cannot support it before taking action to control population growth. But that kind of scene does not belong to troubled times. Hundreds of years of melee have caused the population to wither.

Qin Li's words were quite tactful.

I have advised everything that needs to be persuaded, and I have reminded you of everything that needs to be reminded. If the Lord insists on having his own way, everyone who remains silent will come out to oppose him. The atmosphere in Shen Tang's team has always been good, but this is the first time such a large-scale conflict between leaders and ministers has occurred.

Qin Li thought that the young and energetic lord might have to argue with her for several rounds, but unexpectedly she thought about it seriously.

“Um—Gong Su’s words make sense!”

Her ideas were indeed somewhat inappropriate.

but--

"This is a great idea! It's such a waste if we don't use it like this!" She sat in her seat in frustration, her shoulders slumped, and she kept mumbling, "Nowadays, many women have just given birth and have problems in their stomachs. I'm pregnant. The last child couldn't drink nutritious milk, the child in the belly couldn't be nourished, and the mother's body that supported the child was haggard. You say, one is born at the beginning of the year, one is born at the end of the year, and two are born in a year, but they are thinner than The cat is small, how can the child be fed?"

"These are still relatively stable fetuses. The baby can stay in the mother's body until full term. What about those who have unstable fetuses? If you are pregnant with a miscarriage, then if you are pregnant with a miscarriage, a woman will be pregnant dozens of times in her life. A dozen or so will be born, and finally three or five will grow up!”

"This is really cruel!"

"Since they have to live for three or five times, why can't they only have three or five pregnancies and give birth to three or five times, so as to avoid suffering less? Of course, I also know that children are prone to die young, so having so many children is to ensure that they can have enough children grow up.”

"but--"

"After all, I can't bear it."

As he spoke, Shen Tang's almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears.

Bai Su's expression was moved. During those years when she traveled around the country, she had gained a lot of knowledge. What the Lord said was normal in the countryside. Lin Feng and the other unmarried people didn't know much about this, and their eyes widened when they heard this, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

Gu Chi: "..."

Something came to his mind at an inappropriate time.

The Lord once said that once upon a time, there was a house where someone wanted to remove the windows to increase lighting, but other people in the house did not allow it. This person also proposed to remove the roof, and then the others agreed to remove the windows. Now, the lord was stabbing the roof in front of him——

The camp fell into silence again.

Until Chu Yao sighed and said something irrelevant: "After the lord took back the national seal, did he check it?"

Shen Tang, who was entering the drama, stiffened his shoulders: "Huh?"

Chu Yao said: "Even if we support the lord's move, the national destiny in the national seal does not support it. Previously, I defended the city at Liguan. In order to keep the city intact, I destroyed everything I could..."

It also includes the private treasury of one's own lord.

I don’t know how many years it will take to repay that sky-high debt.

Everyone in the camp secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Chu Yao's words of "taking the fire out of the cauldron". If possible, they don't want to have conflicts with their lord over this kind of thing. Just as Qin Li said, this proposal is so inappropriate!

There are few people and cannot stop the enemy.

Depriving the common people of their livelihood is equivalent to depriving the common people of their right to grow their families. Not to mention that if men want to make trouble, women will make trouble too.

Common people, especially those with self-cultivated fields, need more people to open up wasteland and farm fields together, so that they can survive with enough food. Villages and villages, common people and common people will even fight over the ownership of a road or a well.

Whichever village has a small population or a small family, their fields, wells, and roads will be forcibly taken away.

They may even die during the fight.

The Lord's kindness is good, but it is inappropriate.

National luck, it can be used to do more things.

Shen Tang bit her lower lip tightly, as if she was discouraged, but her heart was shaking wildly. Gu Chi's ears were almost deafened by her noise!

Gu Chi: "..."

He doesn't dare to draw hatred at this juncture!

Just when Gu Chi was about to close his eyes, adhering to the mentality of "stretching out the head is a sword, shrinking the head is also a sword", helping his protagonist to sing the play, Xun Zhen, who had been silent, sighed: "Lord Some words make sense.”

Gu Chi and Shen Tang were both surprised.

None of them thought that Xun Zhen would end up. Could it be that because the lord/her was burdened with a huge loan, his conscience grew back?

Xun Zhen seemed not to notice the strange expressions of her colleagues: "Instead of giving birth to two weak and easy-to-die babies at the beginning and end of the year, it would be better to only give birth to one who is relatively strong and can survive."

Ning Yan made a suggestion after considering it: "Allowing women of the right age not to give birth will cause turmoil. It is better to compromise - let women after giving birth have such rights, and appropriately lengthen the interval between one pregnancy and the next, for example. One year? In this way, the newborn child can get enough milk from the mother to feed, and the mother can also use one year to recuperate her body for the next child?"

She tried to use roundabout and euphemistic expressions: "Of course, babies are weak and easy to die. If the child cannot be fed during this year, the parents want to give birth to the next child as soon as possible to make up for the pain of losing a son and a daughter. They do not insist on having a full year. Year."

By the time the second child was born, the first one was nearly two years old.

Generally speaking, the younger the child, the more likely he is to die young. If the child can live safely to two or three years old, the chance of survival is greatly improved.

The mother of the child is also given time to recover.

Ning Yan's proposal is consistent with the window Shen Tang wants to poke.

However, Shen Tang’s idea is two years.

Just considering the reality, she could only give up in frustration.

It is not easy to get support for a one-year proposal.

She thought for a moment and nodded: "Tunan's suggestion is okay. If this can reduce the number of children who die prematurely, the final population will not decrease, and may even increase. Chaoliguan's defense of the city has ruined the country's fortunes. But I have saved a little in the past two months, and there are not many women who meet the requirements, so I can barely make it work. Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Everyone secretly looked at each other and exchanged glances.

While calculating the accounts, weighing the pros and cons.

The compromise proposal was not as radical as the original one, but the consequences were unpredictable. The war finally came to an end, and no one wanted to cause more trouble. Not long after, people expressed their opinions one after another, but Shen Tang was not satisfied with the result.

Chu Yao understood everyone's worries and said: "My lord, the autumn harvest will be here in a few days, and the people in Yanzhou are counting on this for their livelihood in the coming year. Yao believes that there is no room for failure in the autumn harvest. If we want to be completely safe within the country at the moment, To implement this method, the national destiny is too tight. You might as well choose a county to implement it and see the effect. If it is really feasible, then implement it to one state and finally the country."

Change has always been about going against the current.

This move also involves human reproduction, so more caution is needed.

Facts are the most convincing!

This can also prevent malicious interpretation and slander from malicious people.

Change of mind does not happen overnight.

Before large-scale implementation, it is also necessary to spread the word to test public opinion and subtly make them accept the change.

Chu Yao's proposal was a compromise after compromise.

However, it is more stable.

At the same time, it is 100% in line with Shen Tang's thoughts.

"Wu Hui's idea is very thoughtful." As a lord who can correct her mistakes, Shen Tang will naturally have the courage to admit her mistakes. She said sincerely, "It was true that I was too reckless and radical before."

Chu Yao: "We are all the lord's staff and advisers. It is our duty to solve the lord's worries and make up for the shortcomings. But the lord has a pure heart, and everything he does and thinks is for the people, so there is no need to blame himself."

What could the Lord do wrong?

The Lord will lead them to stand on the dividing line between the old and the new, break the old order with his own hands, build a new order on the ruins of the old order, and take a road that no one has taken before.

She is still young and has the right to boldly try and make mistakes.

Shen Tang nodded obediently on the surface, with a slight blush on his cheeks, as if he was embarrassed by Chu Yao's words. Actually——

Gu Chi was almost deafened by her loud laughter!

My lord’s schemes are really one after another!

Everyone in the tent also agreed with Chu Yao.

but--

Qian Yong murmured in a low voice: "If this is really implemented, wouldn't it be that civil couples would rise up at night, mingle with each other, and participate in the national destiny? It's really a bit weird to think about it-"

He frowned, searching for words but couldn't think of the right words to describe this scene. Qian Yong is not opposed to using force to block that thing. After all, his wife's body is more important. If this can be done, the relationship between husband and wife can take a big step forward.

Who knows the pain of being kicked out of the room by your wife every day?

But the national destiny is also used in this matter——

I always feel like something is weird.

Before this, the national destiny was sacred and inviolable to Qian Yong, but now that it was used in this way, he wanted to try it.

Qian Yong not only thought about it, he also said it.

Gu Chi: "..."

Everyone: "..."

What's the difference between mumbling and shouting with a loudspeaker? Just hide this habit. Your colleagues’ ears are also ears, and they can get dirty!

The proposal was passed, but implementation was difficult.

First of all, it’s hard to find a place to be a guinea pig.

Because there must be enough pregnant women in this place!

Yanzhou and Qianzhou are obviously not possible. These places have just been devastated by war and have suffered serious population loss. It is difficult for young and middle-aged people to survive, let alone pregnant women. After much deliberation, they could only attack the base camp. Longwu County was prosperous under Shen Tang's governance, attracting many refugees. They take root here to survive and reproduce, and there are many pregnant women, so it is a suitable test site.

the most important is--

Shen Tang's prestige in Longwu County is very high!

The common people are more receptive and obedient to her changes.

Even if there is opposition, they can easily suppress it!

Shen Tang made the decision: "There is no need to choose, it's Longwu County! If Longwu County has good results, the next stop is Heyin County! Heyin County is well managed, and its prosperity and stability are better than Longwu County!" After passing both places, choose Yanzhou again!"

Everyone: "..."

Heyin County is apparently still owned by Duke Wu. My lord dares to say this, maybe Xu Jie will also become a new colleague?

They all had their own thoughts and saluted one after another: "Wei."

At present, there is still no way to have fewer children and more trees. We still need to encourage births. Productivity is limited, but on this basis, we should strive for rights and interests as much as possible. It doesn’t cure the root cause, but it can treat the symptoms.
