Xun Yu knelt in front of the table made of sandalwood, and was lying on top of the table at this time, seriously correcting the piles of bamboo slips around him. \ These bamboo slips are all news from all over the country, and some of them report the situation of the bandits in the area and request that troops be sent to suppress the bandits.
Some are reporting on the grain production and the happiness of the people.
There are even bamboo slips about the handling of widows.
In this era, because of the Hundred Years War, the population withered, and in order to increase the population, no widows were allowed.
It doesn't matter what mood you are in, whether you have someone you like in your heart.
As long as you are a widow, you have to remarry and have new children.
Under the dominance of the state apparatus, any love affair with children is a joke.
In the Book of Jin, there is such a description: "Cannibalism among people, white bones are accumulated, wreckage and flesh remain, and the road is filthy." ” The number of ordinary people is small, and it is naturally not a good thing for the government.
The extravagant pleasures of the upper class officials can only be obtained through the exploitation of the people.
And the population.
For those officials, it is political achievements, strength, and taxes.
Therefore, the government has always encouraged the people to have children, and even forcibly married widows who divorced them, in order to get more people.
The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the world was in turmoil and the population was sparse, so women became an important resource.
The tragic stories of Liu Lanzhi and Jiao Zhongqing are mostly caused by this era.
The government forcibly married widows and unmarried people, and this matter is not empty words, but a story to follow: 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, and force marriage and childbirth.
The magistrates of each county, for the sake of political success, wanted to recruit as many local widows as possible.
Some widows have remarried, and they have to break them up.
For a time, the women left their homes, complaining and crying.
Wei Du Ji served in Hedong, and of course he had to abide by the decrees of the imperial court, but he only recruited those real widows, so he gave very little every year.
Later, Du Ji was promoted to the imperial court, Zhao Yan succeeded to the Taishou of Hedong, and the number of widows sent suddenly increased, and Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi scolded Du Ji: "You used to send so little, I thought there were no widows in Hedong."
Why are there more of them now?"
Du Ji said: "The widows I used to collect were all dead wives.
Now Zhao Yan is recruiting, and there are living wives" Cao Pi and the people around him all changed their faces when they heard this.
From this story, it can probably be seen that there were basically no widows during the Three Kingdoms period.
Yes, they are all married.
This is also one of the reasons why Xun Yu can see the recital about widows on the table.
Xun Yu finished correcting the content of the bamboo slip and put the bamboo slip aside, but he bent down to his side and took out another bamboo slip and came up.
In fact, Xun Yu is not very old, but he has half a gray hair, and he feels that he is ten years older than him, which may be the reason why he is so diligent.
On the one hand, he struggled between the Han family and Cao Cao, and on the other hand, he had to work the case.
Handling official documents is not a simple matter, which not only consumes energy, but also physical strength.
If you bury your head in the case all day, you will have no time to exercise, and if you don't have time to exercise, your body will naturally be poor.
Ahem Cao Chong looked at Xun Yu and didn't feel that he had arrived in front of him, and coughed a little embarrassedly, finally attracting Xun Yu's attention to the work.
"Cang Shu, oh, correcting these decrees made me forget the time, and made Cang Shu wait for a long time."
Xun Yu was a little apologetic in his tone.
Cao Chong smiled and hurriedly said: "Ling Jun, Cang Shu has only been here for a moment, why don't you wait for a long time, but Cang Shu disturbed Ling Jun to deal with official business, and he didn't want to go." ” After being said by Cao Chong, this matter was Cao Chong's mistake.
Xun Yu smiled on his face, and his tone became kind.
"Just your flamboyant tongue, tell me, what are you doing here?"
Looking at Xun Yu's expression, Cao Chong took out the Tao Te Ching hidden in the cuffs.
"Lingjun, this is what my father wants me to bring to you."
Cao Chong's words were very concise, and he said the general idea of the matter in one sentence.
Well As soon as he heard that it was something given by Cao Cao, the expression on Xun Yu's face became much more serious, and his eyes became square.
"What is it" Xun Yu put down the bamboo slip in his hand, and before Cao Chong handed over the thing, the person was already standing up.
He took a few steps forward and picked up what Cao Chong had in his hand and looked at it.
It's just that at the first glance, the brilliance in Xun Yu's eyes dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the momentum on his body suddenly dropped.

When Cao Chong saw Xun Yu like this, the curiosity in his heart was even more overflowing.
Could it be that this Tao Te Ching is different from the others?
Why did Xun Yu become like this just by looking at his name Cao Chong had too many doubts in his heart. call Cao Chong stood in front of Xun Yu, listening to Xun Yu's sigh, his head suddenly raised, and the words came out.
"Lingjun, my father sent you the Tao Te Ching, but what is the meaning?"
As soon as he said this, Cao Chong felt that he was a little abrupt, and hurriedly changed his words.
"If Ling Jun doesn't want to say it, it's not more reluctant, Cang Shu is just curious."
Xun Yu closed his eyes, and after a long time, when he opened his eyes again, there was no longer the strange look in his eyes.
In other words, there is absolute calm.
Xun Yu calmed down.
He glanced at Cao Chong, and there was actually a smile on his face, if it weren't for Cao Chong seeing Xun Yu's appearance before, he would have thought that Xun Yu had nothing to do "It's just a small thing, and it doesn't hurt to tell you."
Xun Yu paused and continued: "The king may have seen that my body was getting thinner and thinner, so he gave me a copy of the Tao Te Ching, because he wanted me to recuperate according to the Taoist law, and not to break my body. ” Don't break your body.
Recuperate Cao Chong frowned, he always felt that things were not so simple, and when he wanted to continue asking, Xun Yu showed an impatient look.
Seeing Xun Yu's appearance, Cao Chong also knew that even if he asked again, it would probably be useless, so he had to bow to Xun Yu and slowly retreat.
Cao rushed out of the main hall and saw that Chen Qun was still guarding at this time.
Regarding Chen Qun's previous expression, Cao Chong is still angry.
I care about your body, and you look at me like that.
Cao Chong felt that this matter was not so simple, and he wanted to ask what kind of wind this Chen Qun was smoking.
But before Cao Chong could speak, Chen Qun looked at Cao Chong in surprise and exclaimed: "Ah, why is it so fast this time":
