Rebirth of marriage

"Although there have been no major wars in Daxia in recent years, small wars have continued. In addition, there have been many natural and man-made disasters in the past few years. Many men have died, leaving widows and wives alone. In this way, it can also stimulate population growth. What do you think?" Gu Xiao asked.

Of course it's better.

A wave of warmth flowed through Xie Jiu's heart.

Gu Xiao's move was not so much for the widows of Yuyouguan, but more for her.

In this feudal dynasty where widows are not allowed to remarry, even if Gu Xiao doesn't care about her identity, and even with his full protection, she can't escape the eyes of the world.

But if a widow's remarriage is no longer something that is blocked and scorned by others, the world's saliva will not fall on her. At least there are countless precedents in Yuyouguan, and everyone will not stare at her alone.

What's more, if the decree is implemented smoothly, remarriage of widows will become commonplace, and she will not be an outlier.

She hugged his neck tightly, "Ah Xiao, thank you."

Gu Xiao patted her back lovingly, she was always so sensitive and smart.

Because of this, he had to think more about her. When they got married in the future, he could use his power to suppress people from gossiping about her, but he could not stop everyone from criticizing her behind her back.

As long as she lives in the secular world, she will not be hurt by rumors.

He could change her identity, but it wasn't her who was wrong, it was the world that was wrong. Why should she abandon her original identity and spend the rest of her life pretending to be another person just to marry him.

He didn't need such a sacrifice from her.

Then he can only break the inherent rules and change the world's views so that her identity is no longer a shackle.

"Ah Xiao, will you be invited to play in the capital?" Xie Jiu was a little worried. It was passed down from the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty that widows were not allowed to remarry. I'm afraid that if he sets a precedent, the ministers in the court will jump up and object. He's in trouble.

He was challenging imperial power and secularity.

Gu Xiao smiled lightly and said, "If this matter is beneficial to the people and approved by the people, they can only obey public opinion."

The man on the dragon throne dreams of being a wise king praised by the people. The hypocritical Cao Zhicheng is vicious in private, but wants to gain a good reputation in front of the people.

As for what the man on the dragon throne thought of him, Gu Xiao didn't care at all.

Whenever what he does pleases his heart, even if he does nothing, he is just a traitor in his eyes.

But he might be angry and say no, so he wanted to use public opinion to counter him.

Xie Jiu didn't know what the relationship between father and son was, but she knew Gu Xiao and soon understood Gu Xiao's thoughts. She said, "Ah Xiao, Jiuxiao Pavilion is willing to pay a sum of money. As long as the remarriage is successful, the palace will A resettlement subsidy will be distributed to them.”

Inherent ideas cannot be broken by a decree or a few sentences. If you encourage them, they must have substantial benefits.

Moreover, life is difficult for the people. Getting married means that there will be children in the future. As the population grows, the economy must keep up. Otherwise, Yuyouguan will not develop in a good direction.

After Xie Jiu thought for a moment, he said, "Dad wants to make a living, but I'm not worried about him leaving Yuyouguan. Maybe we can let him open a few large workshops in Yuyouguan."

He supplies goods from the source, so he doesn't have to travel around for business as before. When the workshop is opened, manpower is needed, which can provide some employment opportunities for the people. "

"Employment?" Gu Xiao thought the wording was strange this time, but he understood.

Xie Jiu nodded, "Master said this, it is to provide people with errands to make money. For people, having land to farm and making money is a great happiness.

If these job opportunities are given priority to women who remarry, this policy may be better implemented. "

Gu Xiao's eyes brightened slightly, "What a good idea."

He originally had some ideas of his own, and the two of them started discussing this issue, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

Xie Jiu was not sleepy at all. Maybe she had slept too much these days, or maybe she was discussing the development of Yuyouguan with Gu Xiao, which gave her a sense of happiness that the two of them would build a home together.

Her eyes were burning and she was full of energy.

The same goes for Gu Xiao.

But he thought of something, and suddenly he carried her to the bed, "It's too late, go to bed quickly and have a good rest."

If you rest well, your body will recover quickly.

Otherwise, even if Jiuer allows him ten times a night, it will only be a fantasy after all.

Xie Jiu didn't know what he was thinking, but she really couldn't sleep. She snuggled into Gu Xiao's arms and whispered her thoughts in a low voice. Gu Xiao had no choice but to seal her lips with his lips.

After Xie Jiu was almost suffocated by the kiss, he fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Xiao got up and went to the study to write down and complete the things they discussed tonight.

The next day, at dawn, he asked Mo Li to summon local officials and staff and send them this decree and the implementation regulations written last night.

After everyone read it, most of them agreed, but a few felt that it was best for them to be conservative at this time and make fewer mistakes, so that the capital would not be taken advantage of.

"This king has decided on this matter. What you want to think about is how to make this matter more perfect and truly benefit the people." Gu Xiao left this sentence and went out.

The minority obeys the majority, and Yuyouguan has been developing better and better in recent years under the leadership of King Xiao. It is obvious to all that this decree is indeed beneficial to the development of Yuyouguan, and those who opposed it also fell silent. Voice.

Gu Xiao went to the camp. The most indispensable thing in the camp was bachelors. When he tasted the hot bed of his wife, he wanted to benefit his soldiers.

Both of them are people with strong execution ability. Xie Jiu also asked Lu Kang to pick up Xie Baoshan early in the morning.

She told Xie Baoshan exactly what happened.

After hearing this, Xie Baoshan's eyes filled with tears, "This kid is really a good boy. Dad will treat him better in the future. But, Jiu'er, do you have any suggestions about opening a workshop?" "

He had previously made a living by buying and selling. This was the first time he had given birth on his own, and he had no idea at the time.

But Gu Xiao can think so carefully for his daughter, and as a father, he is determined not to hold him back.

Xie Jiu smiled and said, "Dad, come with me to the kitchen to have a look."

Master had described a kind of noodle cake to her countless times. He said that the noodles were made by wrapping them together and frying them in oil, so that they could be stored as dry food for a long time.

When ready to eat, you can chew it dry or add some hot water to soak it, and you will have a delicious bowl of noodles.

She had never seen it, let alone eaten it, but the days in prison were difficult and the food was even worse, so the master thought about the pancake and how to make it over and over again.

Xie Jiu is very familiar with the cooking method.

Grandma Ning didn't dare to let her do it herself, so she chose a chef who was good at making noodles and asked him to follow Xie Jiu's orders.

The first few times, it either burned or fell apart when I put it down. After trying more than a dozen times and spending a lot of flour, I finally made it.

Xie Baoshan had seen a lot of good things when he traveled all over the country, especially when Nanny came out of the palace. After trying them, they both felt that this way of making a living was feasible.

Thank you for the wine and smile. As expected, it is something that can make Master think about it even in prison.

When Gu Xiao returned home, he heard that Xie Jiu had been busy in the kitchen all day, so he also found the kitchen and tasted it. The first thing he thought of was military supplies, "This noodle would be great if it could be supplied to the army. "

The main dry food for the army of the Great Xia Dynasty is a kind of steamed bread. After being stored for a few days, it becomes as hard as a stone. It is not only difficult to bite, but also makes the throat sore. He does not eat less.

This bread is much better than that dry food.

"Your Majesty wants to supply the army?" Xie Baoshan asked.

Gu Xiao nodded, "You can change to this one, but if you want to make money, you need to find a garrison nearby. The King of Liaodong has 15 troops."

After he moved half of the treasury, the court no longer paid for raising troops, and he had always maintained the [-] troops himself.

His family is also rich in wine. Xie Baoshan will not make money from his daughter. Although the King of Liaodong is allocated money from the court, he, the commander of the army, has the final say on what to buy for dry food. Once negotiated, it will be a big order. .

Xie Jiu frowned, "The prince is familiar with the King of Liaodong?"
