"Why, it seems to me that you don't want to be the father of this father!" Seeing the depressed expression on Liu Xu's face, the Princess Huang's face suddenly darkened as she rarely smiled.
"Yeah!" Unexpectedly, Liu Xu nodded and admitted very simply, "I don't want to be scolded to death by my male compatriots in future generations! I have deceived them all my life!"
"I can make you regret it for the rest of your life!" Princess Huang said lightly, and Liu Xu immediately corrected his attitude.
"I don't care what you think, I will definitely promote the institution of marriage, and as the father of marriage and the father of fathers, you are destined to go down in history."
"It's just that you still have too few descriptions of marriage in the article, and almost all of them are royal marriages, which do not have much reference. More details are not clearly written, and there are still many questions in my mind. So I came to you because I hope you can have a good talk with me and tell me all the settings in your mind about marriage, so that I can think of a more perfect marriage system!"
"That's it!" Liu Xu suddenly realized, and finally understood why this majestic princess came to him. It turned out that she didn't know how to get married, so she came to ask for advice.
"The institution of marriage is very simple. In fact, it is a man and a woman forming a family through legal and social consensus. In the family, the husband and wife are loyal to each other, only have a reproductive relationship with each other, and only have children related by blood of both parties. At the same time, they are financially responsible. It is highly bound to social relations, and both men and women are jointly responsible for raising their children, and that’s pretty much it!” Liu Xu considered the words and then explained.
He didn't expect that one day he would have to explain to others what marriage meant.
"It's almost as I understand it!" Princess Huang nodded. Regarding this marriage relationship, the only thing he valued most was the last sentence, which was that it was highly bound in economic and social relations, and both men and women were jointly responsible for raising their children. In this way This can legitimately allow the man to invest his own finances in running the family and solve the problem of population decline.
But the princess still had many questions in her mind, so she directly asked, "Why must a marriage be between one man and one woman? Isn't it possible to have a more diverse marriage such as two men and one woman, or two men and two women?"
"And why do you require fidelity from both parties in a marriage? Is it necessary?"
"..." Liu Xu was directly hit by the question from Princess Huang. He wanted to say that most men and women would not accept sharing their partners with others.
But then I thought about it, this problem actually does not exist in the rose world, because women in the rose world have always been looking for sources of seed, and they never mind having sex with more men.
And in this environment, a man would naturally not have any thoughts of dominating a woman. Wouldn't it be nice for me to have more women openly?
So there is no concept of marital loyalty in the Rose World. How do you ask Liu Xu to answer this answer?
Seeing that Liu Xu didn't answer, Princess Huang suddenly felt a little proud, and then said, "So your setting is wrong. Marriage does not require loyalty, let alone one-on-one. I think you can be more free and let Men and women choose their marriage partners according to their own wishes.”
"You can have any number of men or women, and as time goes by in the future, there will definitely be many changes in social relationships, so you can add more people to the marriage, etc. These are all okay."
"Don't give so many restrictions, otherwise what if you scare people away!" Princess Huang kept talking, and Liu Xu thought of a marriage relationship consisting of more than a dozen men and women in the future, and then there would be more from time to time. When men and women joined in, the chaotic scene really made Liu Xu...well, if he was the only man, he would look pretty good!
While Liu Xu was thinking about it, he let the princess talk endlessly. When the princess and her own wishes came up with a complete marriage system that was completely different from the one set by Liu Xu, he planned to directly promote this When the marriage system was introduced, Liu Xu suddenly asked, "Your Royal Highness, the Princess! Why do you think men are willing to marry so many people after the marriage system is promulgated?"
"Huh?" Princess Huang was stunned for a moment.
"Your Highness, this marriage system should not be forced. It only requires men to take the initiative to join and carry out it. But if the marriage system is just a group of men and women having fun together, and a man's funds must not only be given to women, but also distributed to If other men use it, then except for some cuckold men, who would be willing to join such a marriage?"
"..." Princess Huang advocated and opened her mouth. Only then did she realize that the marriage system she had just set up with great enthusiasm had such a big loophole.
Yes, why would such a marriage system attract a man who enjoys a wonderful single life to join?
"Your Highness, the core logic of all social behaviors actually lies in two words, that is "interest." Only marriage can make men feel that they can benefit, then men will spontaneously and actively join in marriage, and Not after the age of 35, enjoying the wonderful life of being single!" Liu Xu said with his head lowered.
"Benefits!" Princess Huang couldn't help but reveal a wry smile as she said, "What you said is simple, but to put it bluntly, marriage means using the man's funds to subsidize the mother's expenses in raising children. How can there be more benefits? These are all It’s just pure consumption.”
"So we need to create benefits!" Liu Xu said lightly. "In the past, all the income of the children in a family would be owned by the mother, and the men would not get any benefits. This is wrong. So once a marriage relationship is formed, both men and women should If we divide all the output income equally among the women, wouldn’t the benefits come from this?”
"It makes sense!" Princess Huang's eyes lit up and she said, "As long as a man can take half of his children's income, then his marriage will naturally be profitable!"
"Not necessarily!" Liu Xu continued, "Children's output will not increase out of thin air. Having an extra father to share the mother's income is a huge blow to the mother. At that time, it is very likely that the mother will not be able to increase her income. I’m willing to get married.”
"And this income is not enough for a mother to raise a family, and now she has to share half of it with her father. The benefits received by both parties are far from enough. In the long run, this is still a loss-making business, so if it is just an equal share of the income, , it is still impossible to attract men to get married!"
"Normal people wouldn't get married as long as they didn't have trouble thinking!"
"What should we do?" Princess Huang's head was a little numb after hearing this. She originally just wanted to recreate the marriage system. Why is it so troublesome to get married, and there are so many disputes over interests?
"terrible!"
"Then why do you keep normal people from thinking about getting married?" Princess Huang couldn't wait to ask.
