Chapter 784 People-friendly Policies

The crowd was completely excited, the discussion became louder, and most of the women were extremely excited.

The men were extremely shocked. Although most of them had not thought of taking a concubine, they still found it quite unexpected.

What they cannot accept the most is that they have to give up half of their property after the divorce. In their hearts, their daughter-in-law is their private property.

Not only can they be beaten and scolded at will, but they can also be divorced at any time.

But from what the princess said, this is no longer allowed in the future, which is a bit hard to accept.

Han Muchen was also feeling uncomfortable. He didn't expect Chuchu to talk about monogamy. When he remembered that there was an engaged concubine in the capital, he became panicked.

If Chuchu knew, she didn’t know what would happen and she started to worry.

Even Feng Liu and the others standing behind him had worried expressions on their faces and naturally thought of this matter.

Given the princess's temper and what she's saying now, I wonder if she can accept being the master's concubine.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in these men's eyes, Qin Chuchu also became angry.

“I know that many of you may disagree with this.

Anyone who cannot accept this can go to Butler Liu to register after the meeting. I will then move your household registration back to your original place, and I will not force you to do anything."

Qin Chuchu said it calmly, but everyone was getting uneasy when they heard it.

Especially the men, their expressions were extremely wonderful.

What the princess meant was that if she didn't agree, she wouldn't be allowed to stay here. Wouldn't that mean she wouldn't be able to live a good life?

Not to mention earning one or two taels of silver a month, I can't even earn five hundred coins.

The women and children in the family can't earn any money at all. When you add it up, the loss is huge.

His originally indignant expression softened after he figured out the situation, and he seemed to be able to accept it.

What's more, most people are quite good to their wives and children, and have no intention of taking concubines.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished their discussion, Qin Chuchu continued:

"Now let's talk about the issues concerning the elderly and children."

After hearing this, the children and the elderly immediately listened carefully. They didn't expect that it was related to them.

"I can clearly tell you that beatings don't necessarily produce filial sons, let alone talented people.

Therefore, from today onwards, parents are not allowed to physically punish their children without reason, and their children are not allowed to do heavy physically demanding work before they reach adulthood.

Girls cannot be married off before they are fifteen years old, and they cannot marry unsuitable people for money, such as those who are particularly old or widowers whose wives have died.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, if they are not satisfied with their marriage, their parents cannot force them to marry. If they are found out, they will be severely punished."

As soon as the words fell, the little girls and children in the crowd became excited and smiled happily.

Especially those who had stepmothers at home, they would be forced to work every time they came back from school, and they would not be able to review their lessons until dark.

Now, with this, my stepmother won’t push me so hard.

The little girls were extremely happy and dreamed of having a good marriage and marrying the person they loved.

I don’t have to worry anymore that my family will sell me out.

But the old people were not happy. Since ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, so it was not their turn to make the decision.

But I could only keep this in my heart and dare not say it out loud. What if the princess drove me away? I could only talk about it later.

Lord Zhao and the others who were sitting nearby were shocked again.

They think the same as those parents. Since ancient times, marriage has been decided by parents and matchmakers.

After the parents have seen each other's faces, they can talk about marriage. This requires the consent of both parties, the man and the woman. This is really a rare thing for Princess Chen.

Looking at the surprise in their eyes, Qin Chuchu could guess what they were thinking.

It's very feudal here, there's no such thing as free love, and almost every woman's marriage is arranged by her parents.

Some women have never even met the man before getting married. It would be strange if such a marriage could be happy.

It is for this reason that this clause was added, also in the hope of improving the quality of marriage.

Seeing the elderly people in the crowd staring at her, as if waiting to talk about them, Qin Chuchu did not hesitate.

"Now let's talk about the elderly. From today on, all elderly people aged 70 and above, regardless of gender, will enjoy free medical treatment.

Not only that, but at the end of each year, they can also receive a subsidy of five taels of silver, which will last for a hundred years.”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd that had just quieted down became excited again. Compared with the previous ones, this one made everyone the happiest.

Especially the older ones, they were so excited that tears came out.

I thought I had become a burden to my family, especially those who were suffering from old illnesses, and there was no point in living anymore.

Now, after hearing what the princess said, I suddenly feel hopeful about life again.

The children in the family are also happy. They used to think that the elderly in the family were a burden, but now it seems that this is really a good thing.

The elderly no longer have to pay for medical treatment, and they are given five taels of silver every year. Two taels are enough for food and drink, leaving three taels of silver for free.

The betrothal gift for marrying a girl is only three taels of silver, which is almost the same as the betrothal gift for marrying off a girl every year. It's a profit no matter how you calculate it.

Looking at the excitement on their faces, Qin Chuchu was also very satisfied.

People in this place don't live long. Living to sixty is considered a long life, and those elderly people are still sick.

Especially those elderly people who have been bedridden for many years are often abused by their children. Now there is this clause.

I think those children will treat the elderly in their family well, even for the sake of money.

As if she remembered something, she looked at everyone and continued:

"I think many of us know Doctor Sun's family. When you need to see a doctor in the future, please go to them. I will make arrangements later."

After saying that, he glanced at the crowd again, but did not find any trace of Old Sun.

Old Sun, who was buried in the crowd, clenched his fists excitedly and his eyes were wet.

“………………”

The princess is really nice! Her father is nothing compared to her.

If I had any prejudice against her before, I don't have any now.

The points I just mentioned are all for the benefit of everyone. It would be great if they could be implemented.

The crowd was also excited. Among so many messages, this one was the most exciting.

I didn’t expect that I would become more valuable as I get older. I used to think that I was a burden to the family when I got old, but I don’t think so now.

Those who are almost seventy years old are especially excited. They can earn money to see a doctor without spending any money, which gives them a sense of purpose.

Qin Chuchu was also very happy to see everyone discussing so happily. Although she couldn't take care of everyone, she still had the ability to take care of the elderly.

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Qin Chuchu continued:

"That's the main thing. There are also some things related to hygiene and the environment, which will be presented to everyone in the form of a notice later. The next thing to talk about is the issue of punishment."
