Chapter 12 The road ahead is still very long!

Time flies, and ten days have passed since Wang Yi was buried.

It’s the hottest time of summer:

Great heat!

There are three dog days in summer, and the Great Heat is right around the middle of the dog days, which is the hottest time of the year.

During this solar term, other people in Dahuo were drinking Fu tea, drying Fu ginger, and burning Fu incense, but Wang Sheng was hiding in the courtyard, tinkering with something unknown.

There was a new funeral in Wang Sheng's family. According to the customs of this era, Wang Sheng had to observe filial piety for Wang Yi for three years. But Wang Sheng's thinking was not of this era, and Wang Sheng really couldn't show much sincerity to Wang Yi.

The feelings come.

After all, Wang Yi only saw his corpse. How much emotion could he have in his heart?

For the unexpected death of a stranger, Wang Sheng still only had sympathy in his heart.

In addition, Wang Sheng was in huge debt, so after observing mourning for ten days, Wang Sheng felt it was time to implement his plan.

Wang Sheng’s plan has no code name, its main purpose is to make money!

Money is not everything, nothing is possible without money, not to mention that Wang Sheng is still in negative equity.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng is not without opportunities. He has countless knowledge of future generations in his mind. It should not be difficult to make a little money.

Wang Sheng’s first idea was to make wine!

Wang Sheng has a wine shop on Dahuuli West Street. It is naturally a simple matter to get some water and wine, and what Wang Sheng is tinkering with now is to purify the alcohol in the wine.

The folk customs in Luoyang are simple and the people are happy. Wang Sheng's wine shop sells most rice wine and sweet wine, followed by spicy shochu. But whether it is rice wine, sweet wine or spicy shochu, in Wang Sheng's eyes, its alcohol content is still too small.

What Wang Sheng wants to make is a famous wine that is famous all over the world.

With this famous wine, Wang Sheng feels that he can serve as CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life...

Before I could finish this thought, a pretty little loli came running over.

Children are children. After ten days, the little Loli has returned to her original innocence. She laughs and laughs all day long, which makes the gloom in this family disappear a lot.

Because of Wang Yi's death, Mrs. Zhang felt depressed all day long and was not very talkative.

Wang Sheng knew the reason for Zhang's depression.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, due to the continuous wars in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, not even a tenth of the people survived, and their bones were exposed in the wild. The imagination of exchanging children for food was very common, which also led to a shortage of population.

There is such a description in the Book of Jin: "People eat each other, bones are piled up, carcasses are left with flesh, and the roads are stinky."

The number of common people is small, so it is naturally not feasible for the government.

The luxurious enjoyment of upper-level officials can only be obtained by exploiting the people.

And population, for those officials, is political performance, strength, and tax revenue.

Therefore, the government has always encouraged people to have children, and even forcibly married widows and divorced people in order to obtain more people.

The peacock flies southeast, lingering for five miles.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the world was in war and the population was sparse, so women became an important resource.

The tragic stories of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing were mostly caused by this era.

The government forcibly matches widows and unmarried people. This matter is not just an empty talk, but a well-told story:

During the Jian'an period, the Wei State issued a court document requiring each county to recruit widows and assign them to areas with few women for forced marriage and childbirth.

For the sake of political achievements, the governors of various counties wanted to recruit as many local widows as possible. Some widows had remarried, and they also wanted to break up their families. For a time, the women left their homes and complained and cried.

Du Ji, a Wei official, served in Hedong, and of course he had to abide by the court's decrees, but he only recruited real widows, so he sent very few gifts every year.

Later, Du Ji was promoted to the imperial court, and Zhao Yan succeeded him as the governor of Hedong. The number of widows he sent suddenly increased. Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, asked Du Ji: "You used to send so few, and I thought there were no widows in Hedong. Why are there so many now?"

Get up?"

Du Ji said: "The widows I recruited before were all dead wives. Now Zhao Yan has recruited living wives!" When Cao Pi and the people around him heard this, their expressions changed.

From this story, we can probably see that there were basically no widows during the Three Kingdoms period.

Some are also married.

After a period of recuperation in the Western Jin Dynasty, although the marriage system was not as strict as during the Jian'an period, widows were still forced to marry.

In other words, Mrs. Zhang will marry into another family soon.

Whether she did it voluntarily or forced.

It's going to rain. If your mother wants to get married, it's inevitable.

And in Wang Sheng's heart, if Mrs. Zhang got married, her life would definitely be easier than now.

Why do you want to be a widow?

Wouldn't it be nice to have a man by your side to take care of you?

What kind of chastity arch should be erected?

Regarding this matter, it is a good thing that Mrs. Zhang remarried, but now it is obvious that Mrs. Zhang has not been able to get over her grief.

Her feelings for Wang Yi are so deep, and she has a daughter by her side, who would want her?

Even if someone wants her, if her husband's family was harsh to her after she got married, then she will suffer if she gets married again.

Wang Sheng could understand the anxiety in Mrs. Zhang's heart. He always had to carefully consider major matters in his life.

But the system is the system. As long as the power in hand is strong enough, it is not impossible to choose a good family for her, not to mention asking Zhang to not marry.

Systems are broken with power.

After Wang Sheng got along with Zhang for more than ten days, he also felt very sympathetic to Zhang's experience.

If Mrs. Zhang wants to marry again, Wang Sheng will definitely find her a good, down-to-earth family. If she doesn't marry, no one can force her!

Wang Sheng looked at the appearance of the little Lolita and secretly swore in his heart.

Of course, Wang Sheng knew very well that he currently did not have the strength to navigate the system.

Now, in addition to paying off debts, Wang Sheng has added this to his short-term goal.

Phew~

Wang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and put down the work he was doing. He smiled and said to the little Loli: "Little sister, what, do you want to help brother Wei?"

Unexpectedly, a disgusted smile appeared on the little Loli's face. Looking at Wang Sheng's dirty appearance, she covered her nose with her hand and pretended to be disgusted.

"I don't want to be as dirty as my eldest brother."

Dirty?

Wang Sheng looked at his clothes and saw that they were indeed stained with a lot of stains. But isn't it inappropriate for you, little girl, to dislike me in front of me?

Wang Sheng rolled his eyes and thought of some bad idea. When the little Loli was not paying attention, he hugged the little Loli over and painted the little Loli's face into a little cat with his dirty hands.

.

The little Loli struggled fiercely during Wang Sheng's "violence", but with her body, how could she escape Wang Sheng's clutches?

afterwards......

Wang Sheng looked at the little Loli puffing up her face with a depressed look, a smile appeared on her face, and a warm feeling filled her heart.

Even if it's not for Mrs. Zhang, for this cute little loli, we have to find her stepfather, right?
