Chapter 11 No Intermarriage
Yuxi nodded and said "yes".

I think that the tribe will use a lot of crops, prey, or timber, etc. to carry out unequal barter exchanges with them in exchange for daily necessities.Yuxi thinks it's not worth it.It's not worth it, it's impossible.

Because of this, Yuxi wants to become an outsider, and wants to do business to improve her life.

Bian Jinbo said again: "There are several types of exile in the law, and most of them are exile and ransacking the family. Although our Bian family has faults, they also have merits, so they have not been expelled despite the exile. I will issue a general amnesty in the future." It is possible to return to Beijing to make a comeback."

"Uncle Jin, I know that. But if we become outsiders, we won't be able to return to Beijing?"

Bian Jinbo looked at Yuxi's curious baby, and thought that daughters are more attractive than sons. Because there is no scientific examination in Nanzhang, you cannot participate in the imperial examination. Unless Nanzhang becomes a county and the imperial court sets up a scientific examination."

In order for Nanzhang to become a county, the population of households outside the customs must reach a certain number or the land reclaimed reaches a certain number, and the neighboring Nan'e County magistrate will report to the imperial court for rewards, and let the imperial court set up new counties and government offices. scientific research.In this way, the territory of the country will become wider and wider.

It is conceivable that it is not easy for Nanzhang to become a county.

Yuxi frowned and became even more puzzled, "Then our son becomes an outsider, he can join the army again, without taking the military examination and imperial examination, he can be promoted according to merit, and he can enter Beijing again as an official with merit."

Uncle Bian shook his head, and kept saying, "No, no. Yu Shiqiniang, think about it again."

Yuxi pouted her chin, and after thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure out why. The main reason was that she was not from this era and didn't know much about these legal matters.

Seeing Yuxi's hard-to-think, Bian Jinbo explained with a soft smile, "If we become Guanwaihu, although we are the people outside the court in name, but as you said before, Guanwaihu has nothing but freedom The first four people are composed."

"Their predecessors were not good citizens, and they all had a criminal record. Not to mention the Nanman, they often invaded the Guanzhong of our court. Just imagine how the court would reuse the people outside the Guanzhong with a criminal record as important ministers."

Bian Jinbo paused and said again: "If Nanzhang becomes a prefecture, Guanwaihu is the real people in Guanzhong, the situation is different. In order to improve the status of the county, the court will not care about the predecessor of Guanwaihu, it is not a slap in the face what?"

Yuxi nodded, thinking it was the reason, she patted her forehead, and scolded herself for being stupid, why didn't she think of it, she asked again: "If you don't become an outsider, you and I will be exiled, so what's the difference when we return to Beijing after the amnesty order? "

Bian Jinbo explained in detail: "It's very different. If you can persist in exile, it means that you have confessed your crimes, subdued the law, and reformed. After the amnesty, you can restore your status as a good citizen. In addition, there are many married women in the clan in Beijing. As long as they Being able to keep one or two dowries is not too merciless, it is enough for our Bian clan to spend in Beijing. If he employs people in the court, he will definitely be able to make a comeback!"

Yuxi turned her head around and said, "Uncle Jin is talking about Lang'er's family, so why not our daughter's family become outsiders?"

Bian Jinbo continued earnestly: "My daughter's family can't do it either. If you can, think about why the patriarch would rather not allow the clan relatives to marry a wife and be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and not allow intermarriage with outsiders, but only marry people from Yijia village."

Yuxi only thought of a question now.Why did the Bian family and the Yi family agree to marry each other, but there was no suitable candidate, and the children in the family could not find another marriage partner.There is no one else in Nanzhang except Guanwaihu and those exiled people who refuse to become Guanwaihu.

The area further south of Nanzhang is where the Nanman is located.Yuxi knew that the Nanman in this era had not yet surrendered to the court, and in the eyes of the Bian clan, they were aliens, and it was impossible to intermarry with them.

"It's actually like this." When Bian Jinbo thought about this problem, he felt a sea of ​​bitterness. He still has two sons who can't get married, and he will be a bachelor in the future. If you bow your head in exile, your descendants will also become outsiders when they register for household registration."

Bian Jinbo then said bitterly: "There are still many political enemies of our Bian clan in Beijing. They hope that we will never recover. We died of starvation, illness, and so many descendants during our exile. They have nothing to do with them."

Thinking of his daughter Bian Jin's fourteenth mother who died in exile, Bian Jinbo felt a lingering hatred in his heart, and continued: "As long as one person in Bian's village becomes an outsider, they will definitely use this as an excuse to say that we submit to exile and write a letter to the emperor. We will remove all the clan ties, and there will be no more Bian clan in Kyoto from now on."

"Let us become households outside the customs, farmers for generations, and not be able to stand up. Only when Nanzhang becomes a county can we conduct military examinations and imperial examinations."

Bian Jinbo patted the wooden stakes on one side vigorously, looking like he was gnashing his teeth and wanting to fight with others, and then he sighed, "If so, after Nanzhang becomes a county, I don't know how many generations have passed. Years later. At that time, how much blood and military spirit can be preserved in our Bian clan, I am afraid that because of long-term farming, they have already become people with no ambitions."

As the saying goes, the rich cannot last for three generations, not to mention their persistence is even more difficult.

Yuxi understood what Bian Jinbo said very well, and comforted him softly: "Jin Bo is not excited. It's just that we are far away from Beijing, if we become outsiders, how will they know?"

Yuxi speculated from Eleven Niang Yuling that this time and space is not like modern times where you have to move to register.

One is that transportation is inconvenient. The farthest place some people have traveled in their lives is ten miles away from their home, and few people move their households. For three memberships, and so on.

It is also impossible for the local magistrate to investigate the origin of good people because of a change of household registration.So it is much easier for those criminals to live incognito in one place than it is in modern times.

Bian Jinbo took a breath, and said in a peaceful tone: "How could they not know? The household registration management in Kyoto is stricter than other counties. Good people do not need to erase their household registration when they move out of Kyoto, but we are exiled people, criminals, If it is a household outside the customs, the household registration in Kyoto will be erased. If there is such a disturbance, they will be able to know immediately if they have sent someone to watch the household department."

After hearing this, Yuxi knew the serious consequences of what Bian Jinbo said, and was a little worried. She sat on the bench and pressed her thighs with both hands, and asked, "If this is the case, why didn't you hear from the elders in the clan that you can't do anything outside the customs?" household business?
