Chapter 574 - Let the woman hold up half the sky

"Erya, Uncle asked you. Will the military merit fields and pension fields left by your father not be distributed to you when you grow up in the future? Keeping his eyes on Xiao Erya again, Liu Xing asked with a smile.

Although the person is small, he is typically a precocious second girl Hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "The question of the senior official of the Hui Xiangguo is yes." ”

The civilization and tradition of the Central Plains have entered the feudal social system after the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. Women, in rural society, are a group of people who are very important in facts and not important in ordinary times, and they are completely unneeded when it comes to the distribution of property.

Patriarchy was not first advocated by Confucianism. Because as early as the era of Emperor Yan and Huang, this kind of thinking has begun to emerge and gradually began to be rooted in the hearts of the Central Plains people.

The reason for this thinking is that the Central Plains has been a war-torn region since ancient times. From the Yellow Emperor's battle to the replacement of Xia, Shang and Zhou. From Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries, to the change of dynasty since the Han and Tang dynasties.

In any dynasty and generation, when those who want to compete for the position of hegemony in the world wage war, it is not all men who are charging forward. After the establishment of the country, it is not all men who are in charge of the country, entering the house, and taking charge of the democracy movement of the country and the nation.

Although there have been many heroines in the long-standing Chinese civilization and the long Central Plains civilization, the number is still too small after all, and they do not have the ability to form a "group team" at that time to gain an advantage in the struggle for power and dominance, and in the end it can only become a so-called tradition of male power.

Let's take the countryside as an example. At present, the mother and son have a field at home, but without a "man" who is based on the field and writes with strength, the family is about to change from rich to poor.

The man's arms are thick and strong. Farm work must be dominated by men. This is the life of civil society in the Central Plains for thousands of years. Men play an absolutely dominant role. Thus turning women into this kind of almost chicken rib social role.

Women's liberation, Liu Xing didn't dare to think about it. Because in the society thousands of years later, the emancipation of women has reached a level that Liu Xing does not dare to agree with or even accept in many cases.

But Liu Xing still expects to let women appropriately improve their positions, at least to achieve true equality between men and women.

So starting from Wutai Mountain, the guards all became leading the female hunters. Therefore, in the past, only men could do official positions, but now Chong Yanling has become the commander of the forbidden army's inner and outer guard camps, and Zhi Meifeng is in charge of the forbidden army's guard camp, and Yang Ling'er has become the missionary of the Tai Hospital.

There are many more women. In today's Northern Dynasties, because they are also from the families of the generals and confidants around Liu Xing, they themselves also have talents and are playing various official positions in military and civilian positions.

This is a potential foreshadowing practice of redistributing power and balancing men and women, and it is also a practice of "reconciling yin and yang" in the true sense.

And this series of practices has initially seen the effect, the carefulness and fickleness of women's nature made Zhe Meifeng the person with the highest strategy and merit at that time during the Bianjing Rebellion. It has also made many female officials today make achievements in local administration that are difficult for men to be meticulous to that extent......

Seeing these initial results, when Liu Xing answered Erya, he had an idea in his heart, and it was a very firm idea: to break the shackles of patriarchal thinking and truly let women play the role of half the sky in rural society.

The idea was born. Liu Xing immediately turned his head sideways and said to Lei Zhenzheng: "Command the world." From now on, the distribution of military merit fields and bereavement fields will no longer be given only to the male members of the martyrs' families, and the female children will also be paid the same treatment. ”

After a slight pause in his words and a little thought, Liu Xing continued: "These fields were joined to the mutual aid society together with the in-laws' fields before the widow's daughter got married, and the housewife of the two families negotiated when the widow's daughter got married. It can be used as a dowry and a dowry to be reclassified as a mutual aid and shareholding field for the in-laws. If it is a person who marries in a different place, the county government is responsible for coordinating the replacement. ”

At this point, Liu Xing stopped again. Looking up at Erya again, Liu Xing's face became more determined and said: "I want to let every martyr's daughter not be angry at home in the future, and her husband's family will not dare to be angry." I want women to support half of the sky in my court, and no longer be a weak woman who is bullied. ”

"This ......"

Liu Xing had just finished speaking, but Liang Xing stopped in surprise when Liu Xing's voice fell.

"What's going on? Brother Liang Xing, is there anything wrong? If you have any thoughts, please say so. Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Liu Xing stared at him sideways, lowered his face and asked.

Liang Xing didn't dare to look up at Liu Xing, but decided to say what he thought in his heart: "The distribution of family property has always been passed on to men but not to women, and the traditions and ideas of our ancestors are that girls are the water spilled by married daughters. This is something that has been passed down from the ancestors, and it seems unrealistic for Taifu to want to completely change it through decrees. ”

Halfway through the sentence, Liang Xing slowly looked sideways at Erya and continued with a worried face: "If you don't do it, it will push many girls to the other extreme, and the housewife of the family will not give girls a marriage match when they are old in order to keep their own food. When a girl gets married, the housewife refuses to divide the land. ”

At this point, he finally turned his eyes to Liu Xing and said his last worry: "Others have land to marry, if some women don't." When the woman who did not marry the property arrived at her husband's house, not only would she not be looked down upon, but on the contrary, she would be discriminated against and oppressed under the comparison of people with others! ”

Liu Xing is a person who understands folk customs and folk conditions, but compared with Liang Xing, the commander of Tiancewei, who receives information from all over the world every day, no matter how big or small, it is extremely complicated, and there are all kinds of information, he really does not know more about the folk customs and people's feelings today.

He could think of these possible things and possible drawbacks, so that Liu Xing had to say approvingly to him: "Very good, very good, it seems that it is not a waste of talent to let you take charge of Tiance Guard." Tiance was originally Li Shimin's strategy, and this is the first time that you have really offered me a useful reminder suggestion. ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Xing looked at Lei Zhen again, and his voice became a little cold and deep: "Add a provision that all the fields that a woman is assigned to shall have her own property rights when she reaches the age of fourteen. At the time of their marriage, no elder in the family or clan shall coerce, coerce or induce him to leave his or her property in his parents' house in any form or by any means. ”

After pausing for a moment, bowing his head and thinking for a while, Liu Xing continued: "After marrying a woman for many years, if she wants to claim back the land that was originally left in her mother's family, she must immediately transfer it to the woman's name as soon as possible. In short, it is a principle that the land in whose name it is assigned to shall not be separated from the original property owner unless it is fairly resold and leased for a long time by the county government. Whoever dares to disobey will be held accountable for the crime of seeking property and seizing industry, and will be severely punished. (To be continued.) )
