According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if a wife could not give birth to a child, she could be divorced. However, if she gave birth to a child at the age of 49, she could not be divorced.
The reason why it was set at the age of 50 was that some people could still give birth at that age.
At that time, there were people who gave birth to children at the age of 70. They had a son and a granddaughter, and in the end, his son gave birth to another child of the same age.
The child then clamored to break off the relationship, feeling that it was shameful for his parents to give birth at such an old age.
In the Tang Dynasty, this did not exist. As long as they could give birth, they would do their best to give birth. They did not even consider whether they could afford to raise the child.
While Noble Consort Lu was happy, Li Yi thought of another benefit.
"Third Brother, there should be subsidies for giving birth. In any place where taxes are collected, for every child born, they will be given ten grains. In the future, they will be given one grain a year until the child is 15 years old."
Li Yi stated the prerequisite first. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to afford it.
"Give money? Ten grains, and one grain a year? "Li Longji was worried. How much money would they have to give out every year?
Millions of newborns a year? Tens of millions of grains? In the future, millions of grains would be given a year, and many more children would be born this year.
"Collect taxes, collect taxes." Princess Yongmu understood. They would use the local taxes to raise the local children.
"Ten thousand is too much." Li Chengqi considered the amount. On average, one person would be 30 yuan, which was considered middle class.
If they could get 4,000 yuan a year, it would be enough to build a new house.
Li Yi lowered his head and thought about it. He admitted that it was too much. "Change it to two grains. In the future, they will be given 500 yuan a year, enough for the child to eat."
500 yuan, according to the grain price this year, could buy 500 catties of grain and corn.
Instead of wheat and rice, they would be called Dou rice, and Dou rice referred to corn.
Sorghum, millet, glutinous rice, highland barley, and indica rice could all be considered corn.
When the mother was pregnant, two grains were enough for her to eat good food.
When the child was born to 15 years old, the mother would usually eat more than one catty of millet. She could also eat meat once every two or three days.
After that, the child would gradually grow up and be able to eat by himself. At the same time, he could help the family with 500 yuan.
The key was that there would be more and more indica rice, potatoes, and corn, which would be just in time.
In that case, they could really raise the child to the age of fifteen with only five hundred dollars a year, and the family would not need to bear any additional burden.
Since such subsidies were adopted in tax collection areas, the finances of the Tang dynasty would not be greatly affected.
For the time being, local officials were unable to be promoted due to insufficient political achievements and were more willing to increase the population.
As the population increased, the lower county became the middle county, and the middle county became the upper county, which was equivalent to the county-level cities during Li Yi's time. The overall level of the officials increased by one grade.
At the same time, it was also considered a political achievement. He believed that the officials would do it seriously.
When Li Yi said these things, it sounded quite easy. There would not be a situation where the subordinates did not carry out Wang Anshi's reform.
"In this way, it will be easier to spread the tax collection. The local governments already have tax collection." Li Longji instantly thought of the convenience of tax collection.
Which county didn't collect taxes? If the local families refused and interfered, and the officials didn't work hard, the population of the county would decrease.
This was especially true for the commoners who did not have land. If they wanted to have children, they would go to other counties to have them. After giving birth, they would receive subsidies.
Due to the decrease in population, the upper county became the middle county. If the officials wanted to be promoted?
The Winged Knights ran away first again. He told the four chancellors of the Political Affairs Hall about this matter and told them to respect the officials' positions.
When Li Yi and Princess Yongmu each rode a big horse in front of him, Li Longji sighed with emotion.
"We agreed to come out to play, but in the end, Brother Yi didn't stay idle. He helped one county after another. Occasionally, he came up with the imperial court's policies and made money at the same time. "
"Next time, let's go somewhere else." Empress Wang did not feel that Li Yi was in a difficult position. It seemed to be quite easy. He came up with ideas in a short while.
Li Dan smiled and said, "I'm used to Xiao Yi. When I look at the officials again, I don't like them."
"Stupid!" Li Tan interrupted and quickly lowered his head.
"Yes, stupid!" Noble Consort Lu was still thinking about having children.
At least, no one dared to guarantee it. Otherwise, how could she not have children until now?
"The chancellors are not good at administrative policies, economic development, military command, research, and medical treatment. Their only advantage is that they are obedient."
Wu Jieyu also looked down on the chancellors, including the former Yao Chong.
In the past, she thought that Yao Chong was very powerful. He made many things clear and suppressed the aristocratic families at the same time.
When the Li Family Zhuangzi rose, the aristocratic families were not suppressed at all. It was purely because they were helpless.
If they were suppressed, they could resist by other means. If they were helpless, they could only stare and do not dare to move.
The little girl listened in the car, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon. She wore a mask connected to an oxygen tank. It was a breathing mask to breathe in oxygen.
At the same time, the temperature of the oxygen inhaled was not low. It would alleviate her illness.
She was half full from the meal. She was afraid that her stomach would swell and squeeze her lungs. She was also worried that it would affect the function of her heart.
Although she was young, she was very sensible. She knew that her illness could be cured, but she needed to practice on death row prisoners.
In the entire Tang dynasty, except for her master, no one could do it.
"Li Lang, this year, I will also spend the New Year in Zhuangzi."
Princess Yongmu rode side by side with Li Yi. She thought about where to spend the New Year.
On the thirtieth day, she had to spend the New Year in the Imperial City. On the first day of the New Year, she had to spend the New Year in Hanyuan Palace. She did not want to go because Li Yi could not go.
In the Li Family Zhuangzi, there would be fireworks and water screens. The "big shots" of Nanqu would come.
The other "big shots" of Nanqu wanted to show their faces in front of His Majesty. The fifty "big shots" who were familiar with Nanqu did not care about the performance in the Imperial City.
They held a competition this year and also advertised for the vermicelli. They could be considered to have sponsorship.
"Actually, you can spend the New Year in other places. I can also go there. Everything is not a problem." Li Yi said with a smile.
"How do you do it?" Princess Yongmu did not think it was possible.
"Your Sweet Orchid Pavilion sponsors you. Then you can have a place! My Li Family Zhuangzi also sponsors.
We will be a little further away from His Majesty. For example, fifty steps. We will not look to the side. I will put on makeup for you.
Others can't recognize who you are, and they can't recognize me, but the two of us can. "
Li Yi gave the idea. Fifty steps away, not looking, not greeting, and enjoying their own view.
Princess Yongmu turned her head and stared at Li Yi. Then she nodded vigorously. "Li Lang, you are smart. What should I sponsor?"
"Water screens. I will exchange for another set of water screens. Add hot water and install pipes on the Imperial City wall to spray it. Use iron plates to make troughs below.
Zhuangzi is getting bigger and bigger. There are too few water screens. It will not be a waste to add another set.
Many relatives of the southwest barbarians come over. We have to show them cartoons or something. The children are very cute. "
Li Yi planned to exchange for water screens. He had never explained this thing. The people always thought it was a miracle.
Was it not good to be a miracle? As long as they did not spread bad ideas and adopted positive education, they could increase their lifespan.
"What if someone comes over to greet us? We are so close to His Majesty. "Princess Yongmu still had a question.
"Ask the Winged Knights to stop them. Is there anyone else who can make the Winged Knights give in?" Li Yi was confident.
"Yes!" Princess Yongmu smiled. Yes, stop them. Who cares what they think.
