Chen Ling was enjoying watching the war when he received this news.
What about these people?
Of course, it was cold.
Could it be that he still had to worship them?
It was impossible to kill them directly. This was not a siege.
Killing people during wartime was called manslaughter.
Killing people after a war was called a massacre.
The nature was different, and there was no way to wash it clean. After a few decades, it would become a stain.
Although Chen Ling didn't care much about the fishing wheel, he didn't want the Chinese Empire to have a stain that couldn't be washed away.
Moreover, these people were not useless.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ling made a decision.
"Leave the elderly behind and send the young adults, women, and children back to the country. The young adults and those with families were all sent to Shanxi. They were arranged with houses, but they were not given land. The men were allowed to mine, and the women were allowed to work in the dye factory.
Send the widow and child to Zhili, and make other arrangements when the time comes.”Chen Ling ordered the high-ranking commander.
The labor force was still very important to the industrial countries.
Especially during this period, the degree of machinery was too low and could not replace the role of manpower.
However, Chen Ling would not send them to learn techniques. Mining was more suitable for them.
It was the same for women. A job with a high risk of illness like the dye factory was also more suitable for them.
As for the widow and the child, Chen Ling had other arrangements.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Chen Ling took out a pen and paper and began to write a letter to Yuan Lin.
As one of the first batch of golden talents, Yuan Lin was now the governor of Zhili Province, and he was doing quite well.
The content of the letter was very simple. He asked Yuan Lin to gather the people from the Education Bureau during the Qing Dynasty to train these widows and children.
Of course, it couldn't be called the Department of Education anymore.
We are not in the feudal era. This kind of twisted and brutal place cannot exist in the Chinese Empire.
But we can change the name.
For example, the Korean War Orphans 'Welfare and Security Institute specially trained these children who were persecuted by the island nation. They taught them opera, performing arts, dancing, musical instruments, and other artistic subjects so that they would have a prostitute when they grew up.
Moreover, when they grew up, they could still be assigned jobs.
Our Celestial Empire is humane. When they are nurtured, they can directly go to Heavenly Earth to work.
Although there was no Heavenly Earth now, it could be built.
He would build a large-scale performance stage, a high-end entertainment club, and name it Heavenly Earth.
Perhaps in a few decades, he could even nurture a few powerful girl groups.
The more Chen Ling wrote, the more excited he became. Not only did he give a general idea, but he also listed a specific implementation plan.
Chen Ling was very satisfied after he finished writing and sent it back to China.
Suddenly, Chen Ling thought of another matter, which was about the marriage law.
Previously, when discussing the marriage law, many people had their own opinions, especially on the issue of how many wives and concubines a man could marry. Everyone had been arguing for a long time.
The current draft of the revised marriage law was like this.
A commoner could marry a wife and a concubine, but the wife had to agree to take a concubine. However, if he took a concubine first, he did not need to, but he had to pay a concubine luxury tax.
A citizen could marry one wife and two concubines. The rules were as above.
A baron could marry one wife and three concubines.
A viscount could marry two wives and two concubines.
An Earl could marry two wives and three concubines.
A marquis could marry three wives and two concubines.
A Duke could marry three wives and three concubines.
A prince could marry three wives and four concubines.
The emperor did not set any rules. The three palaces and six courtyards were free.
After the marriage law was enacted, Chen Ling thought of a problem.
If they followed this marriage law, then in the future, there would definitely be a lot of people who were just fooling around.
This had already happened in the era of monogamy.
Rich people could have mistresses, mistresses, mistresses…or even mistresses.
As long as you have money, you can have a mistress. Those women are willing to be a hundred for money. They won't marry a poor man.
This was still a monogamy system. If it was a polygamy system, it would definitely not be a joke if the poor could not marry a wife.
Therefore, in order to prevent this problem from happening, Chen Ling added a clause to the marriage law.
That was, the women of the Chinese Empire were not allowed to be concubines.
Although there was a citizen clause added, it actually meant that Chinese children could not be concubines.
This was because Chen Ling was 10,000 percent confident that he could obtain a lot of land and plunder a lot of people through war in the future.
In this way, the Ukraine girls and Korean girl groups, which could only be seen on TV, were all civilians.
The household registration system of the Chinese Empire was also implemented in accordance with the Marriage Law.
If a commoner married a Chinese citizen as a concubine, they would enjoy the social welfare of a citizen, and their son would be a citizen.
Commoner women married Chinese citizens and enjoyed social benefits. Their children were all citizens.
If a citizen woman married a commoner, she would be stripped of her citizen benefits and become a commoner. Moreover, all of her children would be commoners.
What was the difference between a citizen and a commoner?
In fact, the difference was not big. At most, the medical reimbursement base was reduced by 20%, but this was nothing.
The only difference was that there was one law, which was that commoners were not allowed to be officials.
This completely sealed off the path of the civilians.
The Chinese Empire was not a Western country, and the West could be a capitalist empire.
However, even if the Chinese Empire developed capital in the future, the Chinese Empire had the idea that power was the greatest for thousands of years.
One couldn't do whatever he wanted with money, but one could with power.
Commoners were not allowed to be officials, which meant that commoners had no right to speak.
You don't have the right to speak, and you want to change the country's laws? Are you kidding me?
"The men of the Chinese Empire are too blessed. I'm helping them send their people back and help them train them well. When the time comes, they can directly spend money to bring these young ladies who have been groomed for more than ten years and have super good skills home to play with.”
Chen Ling pouted and muttered.
