Chapter 4 The Butterfly Effect
"Just calm down and wait for news."
Fang Yiai is still alive and looks as if he is sure to win. He already knows the result.
In front, the table was covered with paper, and it was very detailed in terms of household registration, whether the relatives were close to each household, and the health of their children.
As the data continues to increase, Changsun Chong feels colder behind his back, his hands holding the pen are trembling, and he can even hear his heartbeat.
The data cannot deceive people, and the survey base continues to grow, and the situation that Fang Yiai is talking about is becoming more and more obvious.
Currently, there are nearly 1,500 couples, of which 400 are married, and nearly 70 families have mentally retarded children, which is many times that of normal couples.
There is not much difference in the data of the child who died, and the health and medical conditions in ancient times were too poor.
If she gave birth to a silly son, who would the Changsun family give her the future? What a heavy blow to Changle, how sad she would be as a mother! That's his cousin, how could she get into that situation?
Changsun Chong was in a complicated mood, and seemed to feel a little relieved, but more of his gratitude and shame.
I wonder how to face Fang Yiai?
He had been shook his face for a day, and at this time he was sure that Fang Yiai was not a lie, so he bowed deeply to Fang Yiai, "I, Changsun Chong, remember this love between Fang Er, in my heart..."
"We brothers don't need to look for this."
Fang Yiai has always been, you respect me one foot, I respect you one foot.
Before, he sat still. In addition to being confident, he was also because of Changsun Chong's attitude. Although he could understand it, it did not mean that he would stick his face to the cold butt.
At this time, Changsun Chong's attitude was so stunning that he would no longer hold him.
"I have to report this to my father. I will thank you very much in the future and say goodbye first."
Changsun Chong hurried home, but the result was obvious. Cheng Chumo looked at Fang Yiai in surprise, "It's really a foolish son when he gets married!"
"Fang Er is awesome! How do you know?"
Cheng Chuliang was so shocked that his chin dropped, and he almost turned into a little fan, feeling that Fang Yi had love god.
“Low down and low profile.”
Fang Yiai said low-key, but she looked pretentious and her smile was very flat, so Cheng Chumo couldn't stand it.
"Hurry up and have to go home before the curfew."
...
The next day.
In the Tang Dynasty, we didn’t have to attend court every day. There was only one court meeting every three days. There was no court meeting today, but Changsun Wuji rushed to the palace early.
Liangyi Hall, where Li Er handles the government affairs on a daily basis.
After receiving the notice, Changsun Wuji hurried into the hall.
Li Shimin was using breakfast at this time. He was wearing a dragon robe and his whole body was majestic and unspeakable.
"What made the auxiliary machine so anxious?"
The auxiliary machine is Changsun Wuji's name. He is Li Shimin's elder brother-in-law and is a family member. Li Shimin did not meet Changsun Wuji. After he asked him to take his seat, the palace maid brought him a breakfast.
But Changsun Wuji was not in the mood to eat, so he handed over a memorial, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I have eaten breakfast! Please take a look at this first."
After finishing the porridge in the bowl, Li Shimin picked up the memorial and looked at it carefully. Looking at the contents, Li Shimin's expression changed suddenly, and he was obviously shocked by this incident.
"This is really the case!"
This is not only related to each household, but also to the fate of the entire country. Li Shimin has to pay attention to it, so he needs to ask clearly.
Population was a very important resource for ancient times.
Let’s take military as an example. Wars are caused by human lives. Unlike later generations, weapons of mass destruction only require a button.
In terms of farming, there is no modern technology, and it is all done by manpower, otherwise the country will be hungry. In addition, there are river construction, road construction, corvee labor...all done by manpower.
"This matter was found out by Chong'er and the others. All the household registration details are on the list and should not be faked."
"Oh? They discovered it." Li Shimin was surprised. Changsun Chong was too young, but out of trust in Changsun Wuji, he chose to believe it and wait and see the evidence.
"Come here, call the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters!"
"And! Zhao Changsun Chong...who else?"
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, and he immediately added: "Fang Yiai, Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chuliang."
"Summon four of him to the palace to meet him and bring me the information they have found."
Li Shimin issued a series of orders, and the eunuchs serving in the hall naturally did not dare to neglect and hurried out to the palace.
For a moment, only the two of them were left in the hall.
"I didn't expect that there were three of them," said Li Shimin's impression. Fang Yi loves the three of them, and they only love martial arts and not study. It's better not to cause trouble. He can do such a big thing.
Changsun Wuji smiled, "I heard that Fang Yiai discovered this first."
"I underestimate young people, hahaha..."
Changsun Wujicai hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, the marriage between Lizhi and Chong'er..."
This is the main purpose of his trip.
"I will arrange this matter properly. If another princess marry Chong'er, she will naturally not treat Chong'er badly."
Li Shimin still attaches great importance to the Changsun family. Even if this happens, Changsun Chong and Li Lizhi will blew up the marriage, and he still plans to choose another princess to marry him.
Fang Mansion.
When the eunuch came to pass the imperial edict, Fang Yiai was still dreaming in the quilt.
These days, he has been troubled by future fate and has had many nightmares. Now that he finally thought of a solution, he felt relieved and finally able to have a good sleep.
"Young master, get up soon, Your Majesty summoned me!" The maid Qiaoer rushed into Yiai's bedroom.
The emperor issued an order, but the Fang family did not dare to neglect. Lu also came over to inquire about what happened to His Majesty? His Majesty was not relieved to summon him suddenly, afraid that his son would cause any trouble. "Dare you ask the eunuch, why did His Majesty summon Erlang?"
"Don't worry, Mrs. Fang, Your Majesty is just asking some questions. If it is true, Mr. Fang will only make no mistakes." After thinking about the best intentions, the eunuchs are good at making good relationships with the Fang family.
"call……"
Lu breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxed, and rushed into Fang Yiai's bedroom.
"I'll go and call him up."
The eunuch also followed in. Seeing Fang Yiai's face, he got up slowly, and was so anxious that he stamped his feet, "Oh, Mr. Fang, please hurry up, don't let Your Majesty wait..."
With Qiao'er's help, Fang Yiai dressed neatly and rushed to the palace with the eunuch.
The eunuch quickly reminded, "By the way, bring the case files you have investigated."
“Take it with me.”
All this was expected by Fang Yiai, otherwise he would not have told Changsun Chong about this.
A stack of copywriting was carried by a middle-aged and middle-aged man, followed the two of them, and under the urging of the eunuch, he boarded a carriage and rushed to the palace.
...
Liangyi Hall.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other ministers gathered together. At this time, Changsun Wuji's memorial had been copied into many copies and sent to the ministers.
When they first saw this memorial, the data on it took a breath, which was a point they had never noticed.
"Is this... true?"
Everyone asked in surprise how important population is to the country. There is no need to say much about it. What kind of loss does it cost to the country if so many mentally retarded children born in a year?
They never thought that by preventing close relatives from getting married, such a simple method would increase so much population.
"The evidence will arrive soon."
