The eldest grandson Wuji continued: "Then there are two special ones, two concubines of the wang family and one concubine of the famous family. Let's just say that you know someone, Dou Shikuan. If he doesn't have an official position or a title, he won't be allowed to take concubines even after the Dou family. ”

"What if you secretly accept it?" Yanagi asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "You know why you haven't seen the daughters of the Xiao and Xie families who married into your mansion until now, there are two reasons, the first is that your wife is a princess, and they first have to learn the etiquette of the palace. Another reason is that, according to the rules of etiquette, you still have two formalities left to complete. ”

"What formalities?"

"One is the approval of the elders in the family, which is just a process at the moment. Your parents are not there, so it was the patriarch of the Liu clan who wrote this letter of approval, and then officially filed it with the Ministry of Rites. This estimate has been completed. That's another one. ”

"Tell me." Liu Mu didn't expect that there would be such a rule.

"The other is that you haven't signed a contract with your bride. The three most critical items of this contract may still be under negotiation. One is how much inheritance rights the children have. The second is that the value of the concubine itself, if you abandon it halfway, then you have to compensate according to your status. ”

Yanagi's eyes widened in surprise this time.

Eldest Sun Wuji continued: "The last and most important one is ranking. ”

"What do you mean by ranking?"

"I ask you." The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly became very serious: "You tell the truth, what do you think of the hug qin next to you." ”

"That's my own family." Yanagi doesn't shy away from this.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "In this way, once you have the qualifications to become a lady in the future, you will definitely leave it to the girl who holds the qin." That's ranking. Today's ranking, and the impact on rankings in the future if new recruits are added again. ”

"Does this have a big impact?" Yanagi asked again.

"Great, as far as the saints are concerned. My sister is the queen, and her son is the prince of the Tang Dynasty for no reason. As for the other four ladies, their children are only one or two princes. Besides, the rest of the people, if Xiangyang was not married to the eldest son of Gong Xiao, she would be a princess just a false title, but in fact she was just the treatment of the county lord. ”

"So much?" Yanagi was a little incredulous.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "It's just so much worse, because Xiangyang's mother is just an inferior concubine." And if she is pregnant first and then raised as a concubine, if she doesn't even have the identity of a concubine, the saint is afraid that she will lose a lot of money. ”

"Why is that?"

"That's what you just asked, the consequences of secretly taking concubines. A merchant may have some money, so he secretly took a concubine, and was not legally included in the file by the local government. Then what he is facing is that he will be fined two percent of the family property, one percent of which will be returned to the public, and one percent will be used to compensate the private concubine. ”

"But ......"

"No, but the song and dance girls are slaves or maids, and their children will still be slaves or maids in the future, which is not considered a concubine. However, merchants are not allowed to own Kabuki without permission, so at the level of maids, they must be prepared to be fined all their property if they dare to touch it. ”

"As for the common people, such as peasants and workers. Our Datang is still very humane. There is no one in the twenty-ninth year, but he can take a concubine. Gong Thirty-four does not have concubines, but they are all one person. Of course, you also have to have money to pay, this kind of concubine is called buying, the price is very expensive, my family has no son when he is forty-five, and he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a concubine. ”

"One hundred?"

Liu Mu was really taken aback, this amount of money is already a huge amount of money for ordinary people.

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded solemnly: "Now to you, tell me what that workshop is?" ”

Yanagi didn't answer, but stood on the side of the boat and shouted at the other boat.

After a long time, Baoqin threw a bag from another boat, and Liu Mu took it and put it on the deck.

The boat was full of officials, and Pei Shiqing, who was resting in the cabin, ran out.

Liu Mu rummaged through the baggage, and took out a piece of cloth two inches wide and six inches long and gave it to the eldest grandson Wuji.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, still didn't understand what this thing was.

"This is a new type of women's menstrual towel, I don't need you to evaluate whether it's good or not. The best thing about this stuff is that it's super absorbent, because I use a sponge. What is a sponge, I'll go back and get some for you to see, the Donggang Shipping Division has a special organization for sponge mining, among which my third sister's workshop actually has seventy percent of the Donggang Shipping Division. ”

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he opened the baggage: "This is a total of sixteen varieties of different grades. The nobles naturally used silk cotton fabrics, the ordinary commoner women used white velvet gauze fabrics, and the rest of the cloth was ordinary linen. ”

"This ......" Eldest Sun Wuji became more and more incomprehensible.

"One-time use, having this does not affect the work. You don't understand, because you're not a woman. Your wife is indeed using it, you can ask when you arrive in Yangzhou in a few days. Datang is currently using less than 100 people, because it has just been trial-produced. ”

Then Yanagi took out a small dress worn by a woman.

"This one is also made of sponge as a cushion, which can make the woman feel better after wearing it."

"And this, this is for bathing, this is for makeup, this is ......" Liu Mu shows sponge products, one by one, these big men don't know much.

But in modern terms, it is not clear.

They believed that this would be the same as wool, and they had been reminded of it by Feng Ang beforehand.

After seeing the same thing, the eldest grandson Wuji asked Liu Mu: "Then, why did Gong Feng ask you to give you a ceremony?" ”

"At first I didn't understand it, but now I do. I originally planned to bring 100,000 Japanese girls from Wadao to enrich the Qinglou market in Datang. But now that I've changed my mind, I can just sell Su my family a good. ”

"I don't understand."

"My family made me a request that was not extraordinary, and they wanted to borrow seeds."

"Borrowing !!" The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned.

Liu Renliang also exclaimed: "Aren't all the men on Wadao a man?" ”

"Ahem!" Pei Shiqing coughed lightly: "That's not the case, the Japanese people are short, and many of their nobles hope to borrow the men of the Tang Dynasty to make their descendants taller, and they also want to make their lords taller and bigger. ”

"Yes. So I changed my plan, first the entire 20,000 widows over the age of fourteen who have never married go to Datang, and I think that countless businessmen are willing to spend money to take them in for a few years, and there will definitely be children in the future who will let them bring them back to Wadao, and how to distribute the rest is your business. ”

Liu Mu laughed, and threw down the bewildered eldest grandson Wuji to stand at the bow of the boat with Feng An.

Feng Ang gave Liu Mu a thumbs up, and Liu Mu sneered and said, "The men of Wadao will kill people for us, and the women of Wadao will increase the population of our Datang." ”
