The gathered crowd of onlookers was abuzz with discussions.
Bai Qingyan watched the people chatting and laughing, wiping the sweat from their faces with handkerchiefs.
Today at the Imperial College, those students also asked Bai Qingyan the same question: why encourage widows to remarry?
To those students, Bai Qingyan explained clearly that for hundreds of years, nations have fought over land and population. More people mean more productivity, and with productivity, the nation can be prosperous and strong.
Bai Qingyan only needed to briefly point this out for the students to immediately understand that encouraging widows to remarry was ultimately to increase the population, with the aim of strengthening the nation and preparing for unifying the world.
But while these students could understand, it wasn't certain the common folk could grasp it.
