"According to the provisional code, every child who is a scholar or a scholar can start receiving subsidies as soon as they are born." Until now, the constitution and laws implemented in Sichuan and eastern Zhejiang are still the same as at the beginning, stating this This is a temporary measure when the emperor is hunting south. However, when the council discussed this matter, everyone seemed to have never thought about what to do after the emperor came back. For fellow scholars in Sichuan, the Ming Dynasty Law was already a long time ago; Although it has just begun to be implemented in eastern Zhejiang, cases have been decided not based on the Ming Dynasty Law but on the military law of the Eastern Zhejiang Army for many years. After announcing the promotion of imperial law the year before last, the Eastern Zhejiang Army and the Zhejiang Forbidden Sea Zone were all jubilant. Because they regard this code as civil law, and replacing military law with civil law undoubtedly means that the top brass of the Ming army are more confident in ensuring the security of the ruled area.
"The amount of subsidies given by each government is different, because it is decided by each government's parliament. The interim code only sets a big framework. The specific amount and how to give it are all at the discretion of each government." Some governments have this subsidy. For example, Xuzhou gives a monthly payment to encourage immigration and childbirth, while Chengdu gives a lump sum at birth. Kuizhou gives a symbolic red envelope to mothers because it is relatively poor and cannot afford it. The plan is to improve it later when you have money; Jianchang is the most interesting, because the legal master He Daoning has a large fortune in Jianchang, so he now regards himself as a Jianchang native, and has formulated very detailed plans for Jianchang like an experiment. The subsidy rules for people with different incomes are very different. The subsidy for an unemployed person is several times that of the rich, and it will decrease when he has a stable income - many rich people in Jianchang are The retired warlord didn't care about the money, so everyone gave He Daoning face and allowed his judicial experiment plan to pass easily.
??And these subsidies are theoretically equivalent to buying shares, redeeming the complete ownership of the children from the parents - the state helps raise the children, so the parents cannot kill or sell them whenever they want. In the future, if parents want to sell their daughter, whether it is a child bride, a marriage exchange, or anything else, theoretically, they need the consent of the government as a "shareholder", and the government will not agree to it in any case.
"If you want to marry a Sichuan girl, you need the consent of her father and the government. The government will unconditionally support the girl's wish. As long as the girl personally admits that this is her wish in front of the officials, the government will agree to the marriage. My daughter is also a citizen of the empire. After the age of 18, a lesbian will also be awarded the title of scholar. At that time, my opinion will be the same as that of the government. As long as she likes it, I will see if it's okay and I probably won't object." Deng Ming said calmly. Feng Xifan explained that he had used the same reasoning to dismiss other relatives.
"The prime minister also gets allowances?" Feng Xifan was shocked when he heard this. He had never heard of Sichuan giving allowances to children, but he never thought that Deng Ming would care about such a small amount of money.
"Only the emperor's exports are established in the constitution, which cannot be controlled by the law; and I am only the prime minister of Huang Ming, not the emperor himself, and the law is above me; as a soldier, I am also a scholar in Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan, and currently reside in Chengdu Hall 17. Every time when the director of the department is elected, I will vote if I am here, and of course I will take the allowance given to me." Deng Ming said with a smile. In order not to violate the regulations that officials are not allowed to do business, Deng Ming put his Most of the shares in the ivory import company were sold. At this point, Deng Ming was completely under the law. In exchange, he received full citizenship rights: "Since I have received the subsidy, I must give up my arbitrary control over the marriage of my children, otherwise it will be illegal." , you will be fined or even jailed."
Before her daughter was born, Deng Ming also thought about what she would do if she had a daughter in the future. Should we follow the rules of this era, carefully choose a husband-in-law for her that she can tolerate, and find a husband-in-law for her who may be afraid of or beg for the power of the Deng family? Although the lower class people in Sichuan are already quite free in marriage, the upper class still believes that parents' orders and matchmaking are the right way. In their view, freedom of marriage is only due to the special background of the large-scale immigration and is an expedient measure to overcome the early difficulties in Sichuan. , sooner or later it will change back to its original state.
It is precisely because of this common phenomenon that Deng Ming also hesitated. However, after her daughter was born, Deng Ming held her and patted her gently every day after she nursed, and patiently waited for her to hiccup. Finally, he made up his mind to not compromise at any cost. If this society did not support free love, Then change it; if the upper class still doesn't know how to loudly applaud the independence of marriage, then Deng Ming can teach them step by step.
Feng Xifan was thoughtful, and Deng Ming added: "Although the imperial constitution has not stipulated that concubines are not allowed, I have publicly stated that my son is not allowed to take concubines, and the same is true for my son-in-law - I also wrote it in my will Okay, and it has been notarized. If my son dares to take a concubine, he will lose my inheritance rights; my son-in-law must sign an agreement before marriage. If he dares to take a concubine, he will divorce my daughter, compensate for the loss, and give up his children to me. My daughter¡ª¡ª?Yes, I stipulated that if my son wants to inherit my inheritance, he must make the same will as me, and my son-in-law must make the same will. "
Looking at the astonished Feng Xifan, Deng Ming laughed: "As I said just now, the law is above me, so whether it is my son or son-in-law, I can't use the law to control them. I can only rely on this agreement. ¡ª¡ªSpeaking of which, since my rules are like this, does Feng Weishi think my daughter is still a good match for Yanping's legitimate son?"
Feng Xifan did not answer the question immediately, but thought for a moment before asking: "Since the Prime Minister does not care about my daughter's marriage, then if the son-in-law of another family wants to become the Prime Minister's bed and son-in-law, how should he implement it?"
It seems that Feng Xifan still has no intention of giving up, but as long as the other party is not engaged in arranged marriage, Deng's name does not matter: "For example, sending Yanping's legitimate son to Sichuan to go to school. Now there are many children in Sichuan who met when they were in school, and they are in love. , the marriage was established by applying for government approval; my daughter will definitely go to school in the future, and maybe she will also fall in love with a certain classmate." Seeing Feng Xifan's eyes flashing, Deng Ming hurriedly added: "I didn't promise you anything. I will never contribute to it, my daughter wants to see it to her own satisfaction."
Having his legitimate son stay away from Dongning and go to Sichuan does not seem to be a good thing in order to compete for his father's favor. Feng Xifan thought about it and felt that this matter must be considered in the long term.
Seeing that Feng Xifan was starting to back down, Deng Ming felt a big stone fall in his heart. He is a powerful man and has considerable wealth, so he must give this daughter and the daughters who may come to the world one after another the right to choose. However, Feng Xifan's visit today also sounded a warning to Deng Ming, that is, there is still the possibility of internal strife in Taiwan, and this internal strife may lead to coups and purges.
"Does Feng Weishi think Dongning will always be outside China in the future?" Deng Ming believes that the best way to eliminate the risk of internal strife in Taiwan is to let Dongning's civil and military forces realize that what they are fighting for does not seem to be as valuable as they imagined.
"What does the Prime Minister mean by this?" Feng Xifan suddenly became nervous.
"Feng Weishi may think that Dongning will be a vassal state that will surrender to China and have the same governance power as North Korea? But in my opinion, the situation in Dongning is different from North Korea. North Korea is really too poor. Looking around There is probably no land more barren than that around China. Only the king of North Korea can afford to eat noodles, because the white noodles are specially given by our country. Not to mention that the mountainous areas in northern North Korea are so dangerous and difficult to navigate, and the climate is harsh ¡At the beginning, the Tartars were so greedy that they were unwilling to annex North Korea. I guess no other country, except Japan, would even think of annexing North Korea.¡±
Taiwan produces rice and cane sugar, has a warm climate, abundant water resources, and is surrounded by warm fish farms. It is also located at a strategic location in the Southeast Asia and has benefited greatly from maritime trade. No country will refuse the addition of such a province.
"But this is all for the future. First of all, King Yanping treated me very kindly, so I will not instigate conflicts between the Academy and Dongning under any circumstances. In the future, I think the descendants of King Yanping can also consider selling Dongning to Yuanhui is also a way." For Deng Ming, this was indeed a very long time ago. Just like the method of dealing with the Jin vassal, Deng Ming would encourage Taiwanese children to go to school and serve in the empire, gain status within the empire, and then slowly Promote the values ????of the empire, and reunification will be a matter of course - Deng Ming is very confident in his own soft power advantage, and both sides have the same culture and ethnicity, so others cannot use nationalism to resist.
There was one last thing he wanted to do for Zheng Chenggong. Deng Ming vaguely remembered that the internal strife in Taiwan seemed to have led to the murder of Zheng Chenggong's grandson: "I told Feng Wei Shiming just now that I will not be biased on the issue of the ownership of Prince Yanping. But if you get into a fight¡ª"
Feng Xifan did not hastily confess that there was no such possibility, but quietly waited for Deng Ming's next words.
"I hope no one will die, because they are all descendants of Mr. Guo. If the eldest son is deposed, I hope he can go to Sichuan to study. I swear that I will never use the eldest son to cause trouble in Dongning, and if he wants to return to Taiwan for restoration If so, I will do my best to stop him, and if you don¡¯t believe me, I can sign a legal agreement.¡±
"The Prime Minister's words are serious." Feng Xifan couldn't help but want to defend himself. Although Deng Ming had launched a bloody coup in his previous life, the internal conflicts in Taiwan were far from reaching this point at the moment. Feng Xifan still thought about how to gain favor in the competition. prevail, rather than fight against each other.
"Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. Judging from the experience after the Jiashen year, the fight for position will eventually develop into a sword fight, where one's own people will be killed and a river of blood will flow, and then an outsider will take advantage of him. This has never happened once Exception. And since you have this idea now, and King Yanping doesn't seem to stop it, then I have no choice but to prepare for a rainy day - my promise is not only valid for the eldest son, but also for you.In this way, if Feng Weishi and you unfortunately miss the mark, you will be put in jail and punished. " Seeing Feng Xifan's face turning pale, Deng Ming smiled and said: "After Jiashen, the internal strife has never ended well - far from it, if that day comes, Feng Weishi can tell the officials who are interrogating you, just say I said it, anyone who is willing to open the door to let you go to Sichuan and prevent you from bleeding inside Dongning will receive my eternal gratitude; and if anyone harms the flesh and blood of King Xian Yanping and his generals, then I will Feeling regretful and unhappy.
