Han Dao world

Chapter 555
Tian Chou didn't know when the exercise ended. He only knew that the people onlookers were very satisfied, and they didn't want to leave for a long time.Wherever he went, he could always hear people's praise for the exercise.

Tian Chou went around the market, found a bookseller, and wanted to buy some books.

The borrowed "Scholar's Discourse" was crumpled by him. The young man was very dissatisfied, but he still took it away.He wanted to read it a few more times to understand the emperor's intentions.

Cai Yan is a female official next to the emperor, and her articles probably represent the meaning of the emperor.

But he was quickly disappointed.Almost all the books were sold out, and the bookseller looked regretful that he hadn't been able to buy more.

When Tian Chou asked, he realized that these books had been transported thousands of miles from Hedong.At present, only Wenxiu Bookstore in Hedong can print books quickly, and other places can't do it.However, Hanyang is preparing to build a bookstore, and there will be books in half a year.

Only then did Tian Chou realize that the article he saw yesterday was not copied, but printed, and because of this, a scholar's theory can be exchanged for only a piece of sheepskin.The young man said that after spending three sheepskins, he should have bought more than one book.

It is said that the best-selling book is a calligraphy book called "Simplified Shuowen Jiezi", which contains [-] commonly used characters.Learning these [-] characters can satisfy most of the reading and writing tasks.

To Tian Chou's surprise, the author of this "Simplified Shuowen Jiezi" is also a woman. There are three people, one of whom is Yuan Quan, who is said to be a descendant of the Yuan family in Runan.

Tian Chou had some impressions, as if he had heard Zhao Yun mention it.

Back in the camp, Tian Chou found Zhao Yun and asked about it.Zhao Yun laughed after hearing this, and called a personal guard to ask Cai Yan and Yuan Quan for a book each.

"Are there many of them?"

"Not many. After the books were printed, Wenxiu Bookstore sent over a hundred copies each for them to give away as embellishments. These two books have just arrived, so they probably haven't been delivered yet."

"One hundred sets, as a pen?" Tian Chou was taken aback.He remembered that the bookseller said that a book was worth a sheepskin, but a hundred books were worth a hundred sheepskins.Even if the cost is not so high, there are at least thirty or fifty.

Is writing articles so profitable?
"Cai Lingshi drew a picture of suppressing the rebellion for General Zhenxi. Guess how much it cost?"

Tian Chou also knew the joke, so he couldn't help laughing: "It shouldn't be low."

"One hundred gold." Zhao Yun also smiled. "But Cai Lingshi is generally unwilling to do this kind of thing. She would rather write articles and support herself without any problems."

Tian Chou smiled bitterly, thinking that one article can be exchanged for a hundred sheepskins, and she must be able to support herself.

From this, he thought of a question, would a woman who can support herself by writing articles respect her husband as the head of the family?After all, don't show your face when writing articles, you can do it at home.An ordinary man, even if he is a petty official, may not be able to earn the same amount of money through hard work.

"This outline is going to be messed up." Tian Chou said with emotion.

"It's not chaos, but a return to normalcy."

Tian Chou looked at Zhao Yun in surprise. "Do you also think that it is normal for men and women to be indistinguishable?"

"I just think it's more in line with the truth." Zhao Yun patted the saber on his waist. "Women may not be as strong as men in terms of physical strength, but the gap is not irreparable. A woman who has undergone strict training can also defeat a man who has not been trained or has not been trained strictly. Some women with good talents can even compete with men." Most men compete with each other."

Tian Chou frowned. "So, the emperor wants men and women to be no different. Women can not only write articles, but also serve in the army. Will they be allowed to be officials in the future?"

"Cai Lingshi is an official, and she is Lantai Lingshi." Zhao Yun corrected: "Master Ma, Master Wang, and Master Yuan are also officials."

Tian Chou was startled, and then he realized.Zhao Yun had mentioned this matter before, but he didn't take it to heart, and took Cai Yan as an ordinary female official for granted.Female officials are also officials, but they are later court officials, not former court officials.

But Lantai Lingshi belongs to Yushi Zhongcheng, an official of the former court, and an official of the foreign court.

Cai Yan has long been a real official.

At this time, Zhao Yun's personal guard came back with only a copy of "Scholar's Discourse" in his hand.Yuan Quan's "Simplified Shuowen Jiezi" was taken away as soon as he got it, and a hundred copies were not enough.She has already ordered from Wenxiu Bookstore, and will give it to Tian Jun Fuzheng when it arrives.

Tian Chou looked at the "Scholar's Lun" in his hand, and didn't know what to say.

His worldview continues to crumble.

-

Xingzai set off again and rushed to Jincheng.

For several days, Tian Chou was studying Cai Yan's "On Scholars".He read it over and over again, almost memorizing it, trying to find flaws and refute it.

He has an instinctive fear and wants to prevent the situation from getting worse.

But he knew very well that he could write articles to refute Cai Yan, but he could not prevent the emperor from promoting this concept in Liangzhou.Liangzhou is no different than the Central Plains, and there are not so many concepts of male superiority and female inferiority.In normal labor, women do no less than men, and there are women in grazing and farming.When thieves came to attack, there were not a few women who held spears and drew bows to fight.

The emperor chose Liangzhou as the starting point, probably after careful consideration.

There are few scholars in Liangzhou, and the veterans are not around the emperor, so no one can stop the emperor.Liangzhou's population is insufficient, and there is more room for women to play.What's more important is that the conditions in Liangzhou are difficult, and women who are forbidden to show their faces can only wait to starve to death.

Tian Chou was inexplicably anxious.

When crossing Wushao Ridge, Tian Chou, who was almost insane from reading, was summoned by the emperor.

Tian Chou followed Xia Houchong, the servant who came to pass the edict, to a hillside in front of the emperor.

Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at Tian Chou, a little surprised. "Zitai, your complexion is very bad, are you sick?"

Tian Chou stepped forward to salute and smiled wryly. "Your Majesty, the subject is sick, heartbroken."

"Heart disease?" Liu Xieyang raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Heart disease needs heart medicine, but I don't know where Zitai's heart medicine is? I have a copy here. I'm afraid it won't cure your heart disease, but it will only make your heart disease worse. Would you like to see it?"

Tian Chou reluctantly picked up his mood. "Dare to ask Your Majesty to show you."

Liu Xie winked, and the attendant at the side handed over a document.Tian Chou took it over, glanced at the inscription on the cover, and knew that it was Yuan Shao's upper form, so he didn't dare to neglect it, and quickly read it carefully.

Liu Xie was not in a hurry, chatting with Cao Ang, Pei Jun and others. "Who knows what is here, what's the story?"

"I know." Pei Jun spoke first. "Wushaoling is the main road from Jincheng to Hexi. Back then, Huo Piaoyao left Hexi through Wushaoling. When I was studying Huo Piaoyao's achievements, I read related geography documents."

Liu Xie smiled. "You work so hard, do you want to learn from Huo Piaoyao, who joined the army at eighteen?"

Pei Jun has served as an attendant for many years, knows the emperor's temperament, and is not afraid. "Your Majesty, I can't be Huo Piaoyao, but I can learn from Marquis An Lu, become a history of thousands of people, accept His Majesty's edict, cooperate with the generals in expeditions, and educate the soldiers from all directions."
