"Yes, yes, I agreed just like that …" Sun Lan added guiltily as if he was trying to regain his dignity. "Rong Li, I have no choice but to agree. You know Jinghui's temperament. She always does what she says. I don't dare to take the risk."
Feng Yi naturally did not pity his friend because Sun Lan agreed to a request. It was because Sun Lan was too timid in front of Jinghui.
With such a temperament, if he really married Qiguan Jinghui in the future, he would be controlled by the other party and would never be able to make a comeback.
Feng Yi was exasperated at his failure to live up to his expectations.
How could a comrade who usually had his own opinions forget everything when he was in front of a little girl?
Was his big head just for decoration?
Sun Lan said timidly, "Anyway, it's not a matter of principle. If I agree, I agree."
Qiguan Rang's father-in-law was too difficult to deal with. If he could use a promise to avoid his father-in-law and quickly clear the game, he felt that it was worth it. Besides, it was becoming more and more common for women to live alone. Sun Lan did not find it unacceptable.
He suddenly thought of something and asked Feng Yi.
"If Changsheng made such a request to you, would you agree?"
"Of course I would …" Feng Yi subconsciously paused. After thinking, he said, "Naturally, we would discuss it."
Sun Lan could not help but roll his eyes.
He was already like this, and he was still scolding him.
"I'm not talking about discussing it or not. I'm just asking for the result."
Feng Yi said matter-of-factly, "After discussing it, if there is no room for negotiation, we will naturally agree."
Could it be that he could abandon his future wife for something that was in the current situation?
Just the thought of his childhood sweetheart marrying someone else in the future was unbearable.
Sun Lan was speechless.
Wasn't this the pot calling the kettle black?
Was it interesting?
Of course, Feng Yi was able to laugh. He and Changsheng had negotiated and had a certain degree of leeway, unlike Sun Lan. Sun Lan was instantly terrified. He could foresee that if there was any conflict between Sun Lan and Jinghui in the future, the former would most likely give in first. This way, she would be completely dominated.
After saying so much, what did Sun Lan promise Qiguan Jinghui?
It could be said to be complicated, but it could also be said to be simple.
To put it simply, it was for the householder.
For the idle fish in the live broadcast room, the household head was just a name. The person who wrote on the first page of the household register had nothing to do with the interests of the couple. This was because the law stipulated that during the duration of the relationship between husband and wife, regardless of who was the head of the household, the rights enjoyed by the husband and wife were the same.
For example, if one of the spouses wanted to dispose of their joint property, such as taking a loan or selling it, they would need the consent of the other spouse.
Let's not talk about the actual implementation, at least there was such a saying.
It was different in Sun Lan's era. The rights and obligations of the head of a household were slightly different from those of others.
Qiguan Jinghui's request was naturally not to let Sun Lan enter her household registration. Sun Lan was her only child. Putting aside Sun Lan, even Old Master Sun Wen would not agree to her request. Qiguan Jinghui didn't want to start a feud, so she naturally wouldn't make such a request.
Her request to Sun Lan was to have an independent household registration.
In other words, even if she married Sun Lan, she could still retain her status as the head of the household.
Sun Lan agreed. Since the female soldiers were all like this, Jing Hui's request wasn't too much.
However —
Feng Yi felt that this young couple was a little wishful thinking. The difficulty of having two heads of household was not small. It might not succeed. In the current household registration, either a man was the head of the household or a woman was the head of the household. The latter specifically referred to those who came from the female battalion. In the future, after marriage, the man would enter the household.
Note that it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman who was the head of the household. A family only had one head of the household.
Sun Lan and Qiguan Jinghui wanted a household with two heads.
The current household registration and the head of the household were not as simple as just writing a name. It also affected many aspects.
The establishment of the household registration was not only to check the population, but also to levy taxes and assign labor. The contents recorded also included the number of men and women in each household, name, gender, date of birth, place of origin, identity, appearance, and even wealth. The head of the household had greater rights, but at the same time, they also shouldered heavier responsibilities. If two households were to be operated at the same time, the workload would be huge.
In addition, the situation where a woman became the head of the household was not Jiang Yu's original creation. In fact, there were examples in the past, but there were certain conditions.
Only when there were no men in the household could a female household be established. In other words, the woman would be the head of the household and enjoy more preferential treatment in taxes.
If this woman died, it would be the end of the household.
Feng Yi had to remind her little friend so that he would have a clear understanding of reality.
"For the time being, I don't know if the Lord's implementation of female households is a temporary measure or a long-term plan. However, to really implement it, the current laws must be changed drastically. Taxes are the foundation of a country. If it's peaceful times, not to mention a major change, even a small change would shake the interests of all parties and attract countless opposition. It would not be beneficial to the stability of the country. However, it's a chaotic world now. Even if it's a drastic change, no one would dare to object. "
These two young people slapped their heads and made a decision, completely disregarding the possibility of implementation. Feng Yi was not them.
"If the existence of female households is recognized on a large scale, but the preferential treatment for female households is not exempted, many people will definitely take advantage of this loophole. This is not beneficial to the country's taxes, so it can't be implemented on a large scale for a long time. If the preferential treatment for female households is abolished, the taxes will be too heavy for single women. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer female households that are willing to be independent. This is also contrary to the Lord's actions in recent years. If two households were to be operated at the same time, it would definitely make the household registration more complicated. The burden on the government would increase, and at the same time, it would mean that the collection of taxes would become complicated. There is no need to implement it. If it were to be implemented, it would definitely affect the whole body. It all depends on whether the Lord is willing or not. "
Feng Yi told them what she was worried about so that Sun Lan and Sun Lan could be mentally prepared.
When Sun Lan heard this, he also calmed down. According to the current tax collection methods of the Xia Dynasty and Dongqing, there was a close relationship between household registration, population, and land. If the population did not change, but the household registration increased and became complicated, it meant that the tax collection and labor would also become complicated.
"Then what should we do?"
Sun Lan frowned. He had already agreed to it. If it couldn't be implemented, how was he going to explain? If only he was to be the head of the household, Jinghui would not agree. If only Jinghui was to be the head of the household, his grandfather would not agree. If both of them were to be the head of the household, the government did not have such rules and regulations, most likely they would not agree as well … Sigh, he just wanted to get married. Why did he have to face such a difficult problem?
"Changsheng didn't give me this difficult problem. I don't have to worry about it." Feng Yi covered her face with her fan and smiled. "You ask me, how would I know?"
Sun Lan was speechless.
