Chapter 2255 Li Haiyue's appeal

Wu Zheng said "hmm" and thought to himself that the law is good. If you don't get married at the right age, you will pay five times the tax or the government will force marriage... Nowadays, the salary of the Weaver Girl in Jiangnan is so high that the people are proud of having a woman. This has caused the man's status to drop rapidly, which is equivalent to indirectly losing the right to speak in the family. Even if there is a family of girls, they insist on not marrying their daughter, because even if they are unable to see their eyesight, they can still teach girls to embroidery, and the benefits are quite considerable.

Faced with this newly emerging social conflict that he had caused, Wu Zheng really regretted it and was thinking about finding an opportunity to change this situation... Tsk tsk, if it were the laws of the previous dynasty, there might not be many women who dared to commit crimes against the wind.

As Wu Zheng thought about it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Haiyue looked around and was anxious, "The female unit was created by the prince... You can't change your orders every day!"

"Cough... it's impossible!" Wu Zheng coughed dryly and said seriously, "How can I go back on my word? The million Weaver Girls in Jiangnan have worked hard for the court, so I should reward him..."

Li Haiyue was happy and shook Wu Zheng's arm and smiled: "The prince is wise!"

Wu Zheng nodded with a smile, patted Li Haiyue's back of his hand and said, "...But he has to say it back. He has to reward his merits, but he has to marry someone!"

When Li Haiyue heard this, he stared at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng coughed, "Haiyue, this is not a trivial matter... Millions of Weaver Girls are at the age of marriage, and it is related to the country's foundation... If the lonely issue an order to support the millions of Weaver Girls to ignore their age and not get married, or even support them to become self-combed girls, then the world will reduce hundreds of thousands of newborns every year... This is not a good thing!"

Li Haiyue jumped several feet high when he heard this, pointing at Wu Zheng and was about to speak.

At this time, Xia Shuji said, "Prince, what the prince said is very true. Women's marriage is related to the foundation of the country..."

Wu Zheng nodded at Xia Shuji with admiration, "I haven't seen each other for many days, and the county lord has become much more calm!"

"Thank you for your praise," Xia Shuji said, "My dear daughter thinks that the prince must also consider that if the Weaver Girl does not have the autonomy of the age of marriage, it will also cause adverse consequences...such as the urging of the husband's family..."

Wu Zheng raised his hand and interrupted, "No need to go around... What the county lord wants to say, you can speak frankly!"

Xia Shuji said, "That minister is arrogant... My minister has a plan, and the prince issues an order to grant women all over the world the autonomy of marriage!"

As soon as these words were said, not to mention Wu Zheng, even the faces of Li Yong and others changed drastically.

Li Yong was afraid that Wu Zheng would respond on a whim, so he said anxiously: "Prince... This is absolutely not allowed. Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been sent to the countryside, and even the imperial power cannot interfere. If the prince promulgated the imperial decree... it was decided to cause chaos among the people and cause disasters for no reason, it would be unwise!"

Wu Zheng was already in a dilemma. After hearing what Li Yong said, he praised Li Yong for supporting him and gained his position. So he spread his hands and said helplessly, "You see, everyone says that his parents' orders and matchmakers' words... Even if he is the king of politics, he cannot deprive his family of family and live a life of separation, right?"

At this time, Xia Huiji, who was dressed as a good girl at the end, raised her head and said, "But if a woman is trapped by the marriage, she will naturally not be able to contribute to the court by her own will... At that time, it may be difficult for the weaving departments of the various prefectures in Jiangnan to obtain enough weaving manpower... Please think twice!"

Wu Zhengzhi shook his head, "No... I can't respond to this matter... I have to consider it again!"

If it were someone else, I would naturally not dare to continue to bothering me. Even the Xia sisters would not do it.

But who is Li Haiyue, the legitimate daughter of King Jin and the consort of King Wu, who has just turned fifteen years old, is the age of marriage stipulated by the law.

Earlier, Li Haiyue was indeed determined to marry Wu Zheng.

But in the past three years in Jiangnan, she became ambition. She used to learn to be a self-combed girl, but now she wants to show her strength and prove to the world who says women are not as good as men?

With the platform of the Women's Universities, Li Haiyue was like a fish in water. This time she returned to Hangzhou Prefecture, and she originally intended to delay the wedding date.

So, after Wu Zheng clearly stated that he would not agree, Li Haiyue spoke.

"The prince is the king of the new dynasty in the future. If you have a golden word and a jade word... how can you regret it?"

Wu Zheng asked in surprise, "What did you not allow you before?"

Li Haiyue jumped and said, "The prince clearly promised to reward merits before... The second thing I didn't say is to ask the prince to postpone the age of a woman's marriage!"

Only then did Wu Zheng come back to his senses, it turns out that he is waiting here.

"Rewarding merits and punishments is the right reason. What can be rewarded is something that I must consider!"

"But why can't we get married later?" Li Haiyue pouted.

These words made Wu Zheng feel a little moved when he looked at the girl who had just turned fifteen.

That's right, fifteen years old, it's still a vain year. This matter must be placed in the future, so I'll definitely... cough.

Wu Zheng turned around and said to Li Yong, "Zhongfu, I think what the two county lords said is reasonable. Just imagine, the Weaver Girl started to learn crafts at the age of twelve or thirteen. Three or five years later, it was the time to look at the eyes and skills were the most effective. If you were urged by your parents and husband's family at this time, then the learning of the arts in the past few years would be wasted... Should this be regulated by the government?"

Obedient and listen to the sound, gongs and drums listen to the sound.

Those who want ministers can't even hear this, so they should retire and return home early, so they should come just right.

Li Yong and Chen Mingxia's eyes touched and bowed, "The prince is wise. What the two county magistrates said is indeed a current problem... However, how to regulate it, forgive me and others for ignorance, please ask the prince for advice!"

Look, look, this Tai Chi is so perfect that it is perfect and superb.

However, Wu Zheng had no intention of delaying his work on this matter, and moreover, this is indeed a matter that is beneficial to both public and private.

So he thought, "Then let's go a few years later... twenty years later, and the General's Mansion will promulgate to the prefectures and counties... If there are any violations among the people, a woman may take the initiative to appeal to the government, and the government must support it in accordance with the law..."

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng said seriously to Li Haiyue and the Xia sisters, "But, although I do not object to the woman's self-combed, I will never agree with it... You, don't do anything that harms Guozha!"

"The prince is wise!" Li Yong and Chen Mingxia bowed together.

Li Haiyue was overjoyed when he heard this, and shook Wu Zheng's arm and jumped, "I remember!"

The Xia sisters also showed joy on their faces and responded, "My servants remember the prince's instructions!"

Wu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart. This is not like a woman who wants to get married. She is obviously a child, at most, a child who has just begun to grow up!

"Since the princess is back, there is no need to go back to Taiping Mansion... The princess has prepared a residence for you in West Lake and wait..."

"No...no, I want to go back!" Li Haiyue said seriously, "I am the deputy signing order!"

Wu Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
