The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 666
[Chapter 666: One stone stirs up a thousand waves]
. Both Baolefang and Kitefang are extremely efficient.
Before Fang Xiu issued the order, a bright kite rose in the sky above Kyoto City, with four big characters written on it – Women’s Imperial Examination.
No other modifications or even specific descriptions were needed, just these four words, and everyone couldn’t help but be shocked when they saw it.
Women’s imperial examination?
Can women also take part in the imperial examination?
For a time, the entire capital seemed to explode.
Not just scholars, not just ladies, but many ordinary people also participated in the heated discussion.
It was more of a war of words than a discussion.
There is no doubt that more people are pointing their fingers at the proposer of the women’s imperial examination.
Of course, they still don’t know who specifically proposed this plan.
But that doesn’t stop them from swearing.
“A woman takes part in the imperial examination? What kind of idiot came up with this? Could it be that something is wrong in her head? How unbecoming is it for a woman to take part in the imperial examination?”
“I don’t like hearing this anymore. Why shouldn’t women? Can you take part in the imperial examination?”
“Because, because in short, it’s not possible!”
The man couldn’t tell me why women couldn’t take the imperial examination.
All he knew was that it had always been like this.
A woman should stay at home to look after her husband and raise children. If she could take part in the imperial examination, what would happen?
When the man next to him heard this, he snorted disdainfully and said, “It’s nothing more than prejudice. Who stipulates that women can only stay at home? If
nothing else, let’s just say that in this capital city, women work to support the family. , is there no such thing?
They all put in the same amount of effort, so why can’t women take the imperial examination, why can’t women study, and can’t do anything except support their husbands and raise children
? That’s a good idea!”
“Fuck you! How many women have you seen through the ages like you said? If it is too high, our country is not far away from the imperial examination!”
“Yes! Women must not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination, otherwise it will harm the country and the people!”
“That’s right! You are always talking about the female imperial examination, are you? Man?”
Everyone around them pointed their fingers at the person who defended the woman.
When the man heard the scolding from everyone, he just smiled lightly.
There was a trace of disdain in his smile, and he said coldly: “Throughout the ages? How many women have been officials throughout the ages?
Since there are not many, how did you come to the conclusion that women are not suitable for officials?
I think that if a woman takes the imperial examination and passes People who take scientific examinations may not be able to become officials, they can even do better than those in the civil and military affairs of today’s temples!
Among other things, everyone knows about Xia Captou. You said, Xia Captou and the previous Liu Captou, Which one is better?”
Everyone was silent for a second when they heard this.
indeed.
Xia Baotou is a ready example.
Even though they are reluctant to admit it, Kyoto City has indeed become more orderly than before since the arrival of Captain Xia.
But
they are still unwilling to admit it like this.
After all, this has been true throughout the ages!
Moreover, this woman cannot take part in the imperial examination or serve as an official. It is a rule set by the saints. It has been so many years, how could it be wrong?
“Then that’s different. You’re confusing the public!”
“Why is it different? Tell me!”
“In short, it’s different. Stop messing around. If this women’s imperial examination is implemented, I will be the first to disagree! “
I don’t agree with it either!”
“I don’t agree with it either!”
For a moment, the crowd was furious.
When the man saw this scene, he sighed leisurely and was too lazy to argue with them.
The same thing happened in every corner of the capital.
The arguments are not just between passers-by, but also between friends and family.
Of course, most people are not optimistic about this woman’s imperial examination.
At the same time, in front of Baolefang.
A notice attracted everyone’s attention.
“Not only does it cost no money for a girl to study in Baolefang, but if she studies well, she can get a subsidy of one tael of silver every month?”
“If she wins the provincial examination, can she also get a subsidy of fifty taels of silver?”
“Not only that, There are also many benefits, such as giving away food and mutton during festivals.
“Is there such a good thing in this world?”
Everyone looked at the notice in disbelief and started talking.
Soon, someone asked questions.
“Is it okay for boys?”
Wang Baole looked at the man, shook his head, pointed at the notice, and said loudly: “It is clearly written on it. Only girls around ten years old can study for free!
Boys can also I was sent to Baolefang to study, but I had to pay one tael of silver a month for study expenses.
This tael of money was not only for room and board, but also for the husband, books, and spring outings. In short, I only had to pay. With one tael of silver, you don’t have to worry about anything!” After hearing
this
, everyone looked at each other, and they could see each other’s shock in each other’s eyes.
At the same time, someone soon questioned loudly: “Why can girls get one tael of subsidy to study, while boys have to pay one tael of silver to study? This is not fair!”
One stone caused thousands of waves!
Everyone shouted.
“Yes, this is unfair!”
“Where can you do things like this in Baolefang? What do you mean by treating you differently?”
“Even if there is no subsidy for a boy to study, he shouldn’t charge so much money! He lives next door “My husband is a real scholar. He only charges one tael a year. It’s too much for you to ask for one tael this month!”
“That’s right! He is a real scholar!”
“”
Wang Baole Looking at everyone, his face was full of coldness, and he said calmly: “You can go to study elsewhere, it has nothing to do with our Baolefang.”
“Why doesn’t it matter? If you charge so much money, let the private school next door see it. Well, they have to charge so much money, how can it not matter?”
“That’s someone else’s business, it has nothing to do with us!”
Wang Baole looked at the crowd coldly and said loudly, “I’ll just say it once. If you want to study in Baolefang, you can stay, you can discuss, you can even make noise.
But if you dare to slander us again, don’t blame us Baolefang for being ruthless!”
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in Baolefang costumes appeared. The boy stood up.
They are said to be servants, but more like guards. They are all strong and strong.
When the person who spoke before saw this scene, he didn’t dare to say anything and only dared to whisper in a low voice.
“If Baolefang does this, it will end sooner or later!”
“It’s just a bank that opens an academy for no reason and provides free reading. Bah! It’s weird to believe them!”
