Chapter 3626 You Can only Get Married when You Are Eighteen Years Old
"Qingbai, you have more and more rules now. Even if you don't openly observe filial piety, you can't get married when your mother's body is still cold." Yun Dai shook her head, "Besides, she is still young and not suitable for a biological child. Now the marriage is decided Now, it won’t be too late to get married in a few years.”
"when?"
"When she turns eighteen, she can get married."
"Do you have to wait so long?"
"Must." Yun Dai's tone left no doubt, "Not only that, I have to issue a decree that in the future, women in Northern Qi will not be able to marry and have children until they are eighteen years old."
"It's so strict. Most girls among the people are married when they are thirteen or fourteen years old."
"Have you ever calculated how many little girls die every year because of giving birth?"
"This... a woman's childbirth is a hell, and there are always risks."
"If you are too young, the risk increases exponentially."
"Really?" Jun Qingbai was surprised.
She really doesn't know this.
Yun Dai said: "Today's Northern Qi is different from before. Women can also study, work, do business, and serve as officials. If anyone dares to force girls under the age of eighteen to marry, it is a crime!"
Jun Qingbai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is so kind to women."
"Of course, because I am a woman myself." Yun Dai smiled, "Just wait and see, the future of Northern Qi is limitless."
Zhao Yuanjing asked from the side: "Girls cannot marry under the age of eighteen, what about men?"
"The man... is also eighteen years old."
"Why? Men don't need to be pregnant to give birth to children. It won't be dangerous if they are smaller, right?" Jun Qingbai asked.
"A man is young and has an unstable temperament. If he marries a wife and has children, how can he be responsible and able to support his wife and children?" Yun Dai said, "The age limit for men is also for the protection of women and children."
Jun Qingbai chuckled: "Your Majesty, I have finally obeyed you."
Zhao Yuanjing said: "I would like to see what direction Northern Qi and Zhou will go in the future."
Yun Dai smiled.
As the former emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhao Yuanjing must have believed that the Great Zhou Dynasty could last for thousands of generations.
But how is it possible?
However, Yun Dai would not be so ignorant as to remind him.
Half a month later, the Northern Qi court promulgated a new marriage decree.
The law stipulates that men and women can only get married when they are 18 years old. If they disobey, it is illegal, and they can be fined or fined, or jailed.
Many people complained about this law.
But it didn't cause any trouble.
After all, women can even take the imperial examination and become officials, so it doesn't matter if they delay getting married for a few years.
The eight major families have further declined, and no one dares to go against Yun Dai's wishes.
Time passed very quickly. When the first snow fell in Northern Qi, Xiao Chuanchuan's three months of supervision ended.
She performed very well.
In the meantime, there was a major incident caused by local officials colluding with others to misappropriate disaster relief food funds due to the drought. She asked Yun Dai for help, and Yun Dai personally took action to solve the problem.
Everything else was faced by her alone.
Although there were still some green moments, she had good ministers around her, and with the help of Han Yu and Jun Qingbai, she got through it smoothly.
Yun Dai was very happy and gave Xiao Chuanchui many rewards.
Seeing winter coming, Yun Dai wanted to leave.
Han Yu and Ji Tangtang's life was stable after their marriage, and they seemed to be staying in the capital for a long time. Yun Dai was relieved.
Only Jun Qingbai's side...
Jun Qingbai single-handedly controls the personnel department and is also the Minister of Military Aircraft Department. Without her, Northern Qi will be missing an arm.
