"If you achieve great things, you will abandon your wife. Even people in the old era look down on you. There are many verbal mockery. For us, we should not only look down on you, but we should also resolutely stop such things from happening!"

After learning about this, Su Yonglin said to Xin Qiji very annoyedly: "After following me for so long, after so many tests and life-and-death battles, in the end, he lost to his lower body and did such a shameful thing?"

Xin Qiji had a different view on this matter, so hesitated for a while, but he decided to tell the truth.

"The reason why this matter has reached this point is that they are concerned about your opinion."

"I?"

Su Yonglin was stunned and felt puzzled: "Because of me?"

"Because you only have one queen and no other concubines."

After Xin Qiji said this, Su Yonglin suddenly realized.

"So, they dare not take concubines?"

"right."

Xin Qiji slowly spoke: "In recent years, I have inspected the army and went deep into the grassroots to chat with officers and soldiers. I have heard more than once that someone has discussed this matter privately, saying that although you do not explicitly prohibit the system of taking concubines, you only have one queen.

You have no concubines or other concubines, and you set an example. It is obvious that you don’t want others to do this. It doesn’t matter to the people, but officials and officers are all under your command, and your words and deeds will affect them.

They are worried that you will not like officials or officers with multiple concubines. Although it is not explicitly prohibited, they will also secretly suppress the future of such people. Many people are afraid to take concubines out of this concern."

After hearing this, Su Yonglin sneered for a while.

"Because I dare not take a concubine, but I dislike the wife of the sausage and think that the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sausage of the sau

Since they can do this now, should they divorce their young and beautiful wives when their young and beautiful wives grow old and continue to marry their young and beautiful wives? Anyway, they want to be young and beautiful, right?"

After hearing the serious dissatisfaction in Su Yonglin's words, Xin Qiji wanted to say something.

"Food, sex, nature is the nature of human beings. Although our dynasty did not regard Confucianism as an official school, there are some truths that these sages of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period could see very clearly."

Xin Qiji whispered: "The act of abandoning a wife of chaff is certainly ashamed, but at the root, it does not violate the current law. The current law does not require them not to take concubines. Moreover, many officials and officers dare not take concubines because they are concerned about your opinion. In fact, they are quite restrained."

“Very restrained…”

Su Yonglin said coldly: "I took them to make decisions because they could make decisions for themselves, not to let them be the masters of others in turn!

Because of his own selfish desires, he divorced his wife who had no mistakes and then married another wife. It can be seen that his thoughts and morals have declined, and he is no longer worthy of being a Revival member!

If it cannot be corrected and killed a chicken to warn the monkey, such things will continue to occur one after another in the future. This is just a small gap. However, as the saying goes, a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole. This matter is likely to be the ant hole on the dam of our Revival Society, so we must not be taken lightly."

Xin Qiji felt that the situation was a bit serious, so he asked, "What are you... planning to do?"

"He did not violate the law, but within the Revival Society, we have a charter. The marriage of Revival members must be filed with the Commonwealth Ministry. Has he filed it? After the registration, he has to be approved. Has he approved it?"

"I don't know this, I want to ask the Ministry of Commons."

Xin Qiji asked, "Do you need to ask someone from the General Affairs Department now?"

"certainly."

Su Yonglin nodded, so Xin Qiji immediately went to handle the matter and found Tao Yongguang, the head of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Commonwealth, who was specifically responsible for this business.

After the establishment of the Revival Society, Su Yonglin decided that the marriage of members must be reported to the organization and approved by the organization. Those who have already gotten married must also be reported to the organization for filing, so as to strictly investigate the members' personal life and style issues.

If you can't control yourself on men and women's issues, it's difficult to control yourself on other issues, so Su Yonglin has always cared about this aspect.

Some members of the Revival who fell during the Great Purge could not control themselves on the issue of men and women, and became deeper and deeper. Su Yonglin was very vigilant about this.

However, such things have never been before Su Yonglin, so that he once thought that the current situation had satisfied many people, but he did not consider that he had not abolished the concubine system.

Obviously, this kind of vigilance is not meaningless. During Su Yonglin's process of asking Tao Yongguang, he found the problem.

That is, the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Commonwealth did not play a role in supervising and vigilant on this issue.

The Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Commonwealth has just become a simple record and filing department. When someone comes to report, they record it. When someone submits a marriage application, they don’t even look at it, and they say that they allow it. They send you good things and everyone’s good style.

Of course, according to traditional concepts, getting married is mostly a beautiful thing.

Su Yonglin looked at the marriage application reports of nearly 100 Fuxing members who held positions as middle and senior officers and middle and senior officials in the second half of the third year of Hongwu to the fifth year of Hongwu, and felt a little unable to control his anger.

There was no review document, so I applied here and there immediately approved it, just like I was sending a gift to celebrate them.

This is how the Civil Affairs Department does things?

Although the things here may not be the same as Sun Jingwei, Su Yonglin was still very angry.

"I remember that there were regulations on the work requirements of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Commonwealth in the charter of the Revival Association. If you accept reports, review reports, allow or refute reports, and file reports, what have you done? What are you doing? I ask you how to review?"

Su Yonglin threw the registration record in front of Tao Yongguang with a swing, and Tao Yongguang's face turned pale.

"Chairman, this... this marriage is a happy event. Everyone wants to get married and have children and increase the population. This... Of course, this is something to be congratulated, right?"

"Should? So it's also OK to divorce your original wife and marry a new wife? Have you read the charter of the Revival Society?"

Su Yonglin suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Of course it is normal to marry, is it normal to divorce a wife? The old bureaucrats knew that divorce requires conditions and that his wife would make seven mistakes before she could divorce her wife openly, otherwise it would be injustice!

What about us? There is no problem, just stop. I thought our Ming Kingdom was more particular about this than the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that we were even worse than them in this regard?"

Tao Yongguang swallowed and looked at Su Yonglin with a terrifying face.

"The Chairman said that I...we neglected the work in this regard..."

Because he was too nervous, he kept wiping the fine sweat beads that oozed out of his forehead, trying to hide his nervousness.

But he wouldn't hide himself at all.

Su Yonglin's anger could not be curbed.

"If it's just a filing, what's the use for you? If we are not even as good as the Southern Song Dynasty, what was my purpose to establish the Ming Dynasty? You did a good job, very well, and successfully made our moral level worse than the old bureaucrats and literati. Good! Good job!"

With a roar, Su Yonglin punched the table with a punch and immediately ordered to convene the Central Meeting of the Revival Conference to conduct serious discussions and handling of this issue.
