Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 467 The Importance of Late Marriage and Late Childbirth

Mrs. Cheng saw what Wang Yin said as if it was serious, and decided to give in first: You can not get married, but you have to get engaged first!
"Engagement." Wang Yin rubbed his chin: "Let me think about it. Let me tell you, it's getting late now, should you two go back to sleep?"

"Okay, but don't make us wait too long, kid." Cheng Yaojin nodded upon hearing this, and then left with Mrs. Cheng.

After Wang Yin sent the two of them to the door of the house, he also turned around and went back. He sat on the sofa in the hall and rubbed his chin and began to ponder: It seems that it is okay to get engaged first. Let me take a look at the ancient engagement process first. . .

Although they had sworn before that Wang Yin would not leave unless he gave an explanation, the two of them did not dare to push too hard, otherwise it would be a great fun when Wang Yin was forced to quit. . . .

But speaking of it, Cheng Yaojin and his wife didn’t gain anything at all tonight, at least Wang Yin’s attitude is generally pretty good, anyway, it seems that this marriage can’t be escaped, if it doesn’t work, they can only wait for two years too. . .

In any case, it is much better than before: before Wang Yin appeared, none of the honorable sons whose daughters were full of Chang'an City liked him, and the couple really got angry about this matter for a long time, especially It was after seeing that the girl was getting older and older, her mouth started to burn every now and then. . .

next day
After the morning court, Cheng Yaojin deliberately stayed and went to find Li Shimin again.

Although what I told Wang Yin last night was about my daughter's private affairs, but when it comes to the fact that giving birth too early will cause harm to the woman's body, it is a state matter!
It's just that it's really not good to discuss this kind of thing in the morning, otherwise wouldn't it be too embarrassing to bring out the matter of my daughter?
As for talking to Li Shimin in private, it would be much better, anyway, Cheng Yaojin has a thick skin. . .

"Zhijie, but what happened to Wang Yin?" Looking at Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin in front of him, Li Shimin suddenly regained his energy.

After all, there are no wars happening in the Tang Dynasty now. It is probably Wang Yin's business for Cheng Yaojin to find him.

Once it comes to Wang Yin's matter, it's basically a good thing!
"Return to Your Majesty," Cheng Yaojin hurriedly replied, "Yesterday I learned something from Wang Yin, I think this matter is of great importance, and hereby report it to Your Majesty."

"Tell me about it." Li Shimin's expression immediately became serious when he heard this.

Although I heard that Wang Yin didn't come up with anything good, but seeing Cheng Yaojin's serious expression, it should be quite important.

After all, although Cheng Yaojin is usually thick-skinned, he is still very reliable in major matters, which is one of the reasons why Li Shimin indulges him.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yin said last night..." So Cheng Yaojin told Li Shimin the things that Wang Yin gave him popular science last night.

It is true to say that it is a major event, but it is more or less selfish to say that the process of biting gold is more or less selfish, after all, we are human beings.

If what Wang Yin said was true, then it would be easy to say, but if Wang Yin was deceiving himself. . .

See you tonight!

"Wang Yin said so?" Li Shimin frowned after hearing Cheng Yaojin's narration.

"I dare not deceive Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin quickly replied.

"There is such a reason..." Li Shimin couldn't sit still any longer, stood up and started pacing on the spot.

Now the people of Datang only know that it is dangerous to have a child. Basically, having a child once is equivalent to going through hell before the gate of hell!

Although Li Shimin is the emperor, he is not exempt from such a big social environment.

But why this is so, no one has really studied it. . .

After all, this is a normal thing for them, just like people have to eat when they are hungry, and they are full after eating.

Knowing this kind of common-sense question is enough, and I have never seen anyone go to study why people are hungry and feel full after eating.

If it is really because of the high infant mortality rate caused by premature marriage and childbirth, then this matter must be treated with caution!
The importance of this news is no less than that Wang Yin has come up with something good!
No, it's even more important than the fact that Wang Yin came up with something good!
After all, too many people died in successive years of fighting, and now Datang is seriously short of population!
If it is really because of the death problem caused by women's premature birth, then the country at this age of marriage will have to intervene compulsorily.

And if what Wang Yin said, even if it won't lead to the death of adults and children, it won't work even if it causes a disease or something? !
On the one hand, it increases the living burden of the common people. After all, how can seeing a doctor not cost money?If the condition is mild, it's okay, but if it's serious, I'm afraid the whole family will be dragged down!When the time comes, the lives of the common people will be unspeakably miserable. Wouldn't it be that I have no sense of accomplishment as an emperor? !

Secondly, Li Shimin still expects the women of Datang to have more children to increase his population. If there is a root cause of disease that cannot be reproduced, or the whole family is directly dragged down, then there will be a chicken feather!

If this situation can be avoided, from a certain point of view, it can be regarded as increasing the population of Datang in disguise!
"Knowledge..." Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin strangely: "Why are you and Wang Yin, two big men, suddenly studying the matter of having children?"

"Return to Your Majesty...this..." Cheng Yaojin immediately held a grass in his heart: "this..."

"Okay, I got it, you go back first." In the end, Li Shimin sent him away without waiting for him to come up with something.

"Your Excellency will leave." Cheng Yaojin bowed and then withdrew.

In fact, Li Shimin was just deliberately teasing him. As for the specific reason, Li Shimin also guessed about the same: Cheng Yaojin probably brought it up by telling Wang Yin about his daughter's marriage. It seems that the marriage between the two probably has some signs up. . .

It was precisely because of the thought of being preempted by Cheng Yaojin that Li Shimin felt a little uncomfortable, so he asked him that way on purpose. . .

But it’s okay to be unhappy, the business still needs to be done.

Immediately, Li Shimin started to prepare for the census: Let the states and counties of Datang report in detail the age of marriage and childbirth of women of different ages, the survival rate of children, and whether adults have any problems.

If it is true what Wang Yin said by then, then the marriage age of common people in the Tang Dynasty must be pushed back. . .

Of course, it would definitely not work to wait until adulthood to get married as Wang Yin said. At that time, I'm afraid that I don't need others to agitate the common people, so I will have to use my own flag to create my own rebellion. . .

After all, this is considered to be an obstacle to the succession of the family. At that time, it doesn't matter whether you are an emperor or not. . .
