The Reborn Lady is Farming

"You should know that although aristocratic families and some well-established families also arrange marriage rooms for their children, they will generally not be younger than fourteen years old, and marriage will not be younger than seventeen years old. There are many restrictions on this, but why did the royal families of the past dynasties arrange for the prince to pass the room at the age of twelve? Even more so that one or two concubines were admitted to the room early?"

   "In order to spread branches and leaves for the royal family," Xiaobao said in a slightly lower voice, "It's even more precautionary in case..."

   To prevent the death of the emperor, there will be no successors. Only by giving birth to an heir early can the people's hearts, the ministers' hearts, and their own hearts be at ease.

  Life is impermanent, who knows what will happen tomorrow?

   One of the important reasons why the royal family arranges the maid to sleep after the first sperm of the prince is to prevent such accidents. Moreover, the lifespan of the royal family is not long. If they have children early, they can stand up when they die.

   However, the earlier you have sex, the shorter your lifespan, the more anxious you are to have children, and the earlier you will have sex. This is almost an endless cycle.

It's not that Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Wenchen didn't know about this kind of truth, but they didn't want to break it. If it wasn't for Xiaoxiong and Xiao'an, they would not have been too upset, so they did it according to the rules of the palaces of all dynasties.

"This is the case with the royal families of all dynasties. That's because they never changed from the first generation to the second generation, so should our Qi family learn from them? Get enlightened early, and then give birth to children early. Those children are weak because of weak sperm. Either a miscarriage, an early death, or a weak child, the children who can grow up continue this inheritance, because they have an early awakening and repeatedly indulge themselves, and they obviously have the most abundant medical resources, but their average life expectancy is less than fifty.”

Mu Yangling said this with endless regrets. In her opinion, the average life expectancy of the common people is low because of poor living conditions and shortage of medical resources. However, in the royal family and these upper-class people, their life expectancy is not high. It's because of too much indulgence.

The first and second generations of the royal family were fine, and they were a little restrained, but the founding emperor suffered many injuries and his lifespan was not long. , Gradually hollowed out the body, even if there are occasional people who pay attention to health care, there are very few.

   Mu Yangling vomited as long as she thought that her descendants would one day become descendants of the previous royal family.

   However, it is impossible to only rely on the family rules she set, because the environment is like this, even if their nature is good, they can be brought down, so Mu Yangling hopes to fundamentally improve the environment.

She will not set a lot of rules for future generations, because they will not necessarily follow them, and they will be set in vain. It is better to educate this generation and let them educate the next generation, so that these things should be taken for granted. , even if it's not a rule, it's a rule.

"Your father was seriously injured and poisoned in the early years, and his body was indeed damaged, but the imperial doctor has been recuperating for many years, and I dare not say that he is all well, but his health is definitely not much worse, Xiaobao, you said that he can live for a few more years. ?"

  Xiaobao was surprised by the straightforwardness of the fourth aunt, but he still thought about it seriously and said, "If the royal father can always focus on health care, he will still be strong in twenty or thirty years."

   Twenty or thirty years later, Qi Xiuyuan will be in his 60s, and Xiaobao will be in his 30s or 40s.

   "What about you," Mu Yangling asked, "do you think there is no sudden illness, no accident, how long can you live?"

   "It shouldn't be a problem to be in your fifties or sixties."

"That's it, was your son not yet twenty at that time? So I think you are completely unfounded. You are twelve years old, but how many children can you conceive or give birth to before the age of sixteen? "

  Xiaobao said solemnly, "Fourth aunt, I have no children."

"Then go and check, just check the information of the previous royal family. When you have checked it, come and tell me, how old were the children of the previous royal family who were born to their parents? Let's talk again when you are finished. "

Xiaobao is the prince, and it is not difficult to check these information. Besides, he has a lot of life, and he got several forms the next day after one order, which not only contains the age of the parents when the child was born, but also the life expectancy of their parents. Your own lifespan, the age of your first child, etc.

Mu Yangling is right, the table records the life expectancy and production of the children of the royal family in the past five generations. In general, the output is very large. The worst prince has 16 children, but he can survive and grow to Twelve-year-olds are only eight, and this is not a miscarriage or a child who died at birth, and the survival rate is extremely low.

In the table, most of the children who can grow up to 12 years old or more have fathers who are 16 years old or older at birth. As Mu Yangling said, the father is too young and the sperm is too weak, and most of the children born will not grow up. .

  Xiaobao copied the form in two copies, sent one to his father and the other to his mother, and took the originals out of the palace to find Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling said: "So I suggest that the palace should abolish these rules. It is best for the prince to arrange a marriage after the age of seventeen, marry the main concubine after the age of eighteen, and then take the side concubine. This is not only beneficial to the children, but also beneficial to the children. The relationship between husband and wife is also good.”

  Xiaobao pondered: "I'm afraid the ministers of the previous dynasty will not agree."

  The issue of the royal family's heirs is not only a family matter, but also a state matter.

Mu Yangling smiled and said, "I didn't say anything about changing the rules with great fanfare. We can do what we want to do. When the ministers from the previous dynasty mentioned it, we will set the rules. Your father emperor is the first term of Daqi. Emperor, his words are the rules, who said we have to abide by the rules of the previous dynasty?"

   This makes sense, but he was speechless.

  Xiaobao asked: "Fourth aunt, you told me so many great truths yesterday, wouldn't you just want to change this rule of the royal family?"

   Mu Yangling smiled, took down the "Da Qi Law" on the shelf, flipped to the marriage, clicked on one of them, and said, "I think this should also be changed."

   That is the age regulation for ordinary people to marry in the law. The limit for women is that after the age of thirteen, they must be married before the age of eighteen, otherwise they will be fined.

   That is the copy of the previous law, and the Daqi law did not modify it.

This law stipulated that women should be fifteen years old and twenty years old after the age of 15, when foreign enemies invaded and the population of the country withered, and the age of marriage was repeatedly lowered. It is too dangerous to have children, and the age limit of the previous dynasty will be lowered.

Qilu copied it because the population was really small at that time. After more than 20 years of war and chaos, when Daqi was founded, the population was only in the early 40s. 50 million, but for Daqi, which has a vast territory, the population is still a little small.

   So this marriage age condition has not changed.

  Xiaobao looked at this law and pondered, if you want to change this law, the resistance is even more difficult than the conditions for the royal family to change, because if you change it, the population growth rate will definitely decrease a lot.
