Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"In order to motivate students to make progress, the annual examinations, excellent grades, and those who are in the top ten of the grade will be free of food expenses for one year, and the rest of the scholarship will remain unchanged."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The officials shouted.

The celebration of the taboo also takes into account the well-being of the people.

In a family, if more than three children are studying at school, the rest of the children will be free of board and lodging, without the individual family having to bear it.

The education expenses of the people in that country are left over. The mere 350 yuan accounts for less than one-eleventh of a family's monthly income, which is completely trivial.

Finally, Qingji did not forget to say something.

"In addition, the business tax and customs tax will be added, and the tax will be one out of fifteen."

Dawu's taxes are too low, which is indeed a serious problem.

You must know the regulations when Qingji implements the reform.

In terms of commercial tax, the state of Wu collects tax every two years, and in the first year, 15.00% is collected every year.

In the middle years, [-]% is charged every year.

In inferior years, 5.00% will be levied every year, which will not change in case of famine!

In terms of land rent tax, the amount of tax collection is set at one tithe.

Regardless of whether it is a good harvest year or not, the country of Wu will pay fifteen taxes and one tax. In case of famine, the tax will be exempted!
After Qingji ruled the world, in order to restore the people's livelihood and benefit the people, a new tax system was promulgated.

The commercial tax is collected once a year at 5.00%, which is one of the twenty taxes.

The land rent tax is lower, it is directly [-] tax one, and it is tax-free in times of famine.

Now Qingji is directly raising the business tax, [-] tax one!

Don't underestimate the commercial tax of a few percent, which can at least bring in a few hundred thousand taels of gold for the Wu treasury.

……

National Supervisor.

The Guozijian at this time can be described as very lively.

The predecessor of Guozijian was "Jixia Academy", which specially trained all kinds of talents for Wu, including the six colleges of politics, military, engineering, agriculture, medicine, and business. There are about [-] scholars all year round.

The scholars who left the Guozijian played a significant role in all walks of life. It is because of the existence of these people that the Wu Empire is now extremely powerful and prosperous.

At this time, Qingji kept his promise and asked Yang Ying to bring her followers to the Imperial College to participate in the debate meeting.

Yang Ying's followers are actually women of noble origin just like her.

In ancient times, women were not unable to read and write.

It's just that ordinary people can't do this. It's a fluke to be able to have food and clothing so that the whole family can't go hungry. How dare they ask for their girls to go to school?

The cost of cultivating a scholar is not generally high!
According to the agreement, Qingji selected more than 200 scholars with voting rights to debate with Yang Ying and others.

If Yang Ying can persuade these scholars to vote for her, then Qingji can "conform to public opinion" and let women in the world also join the sequence of compulsory education and have books to read.

Zeng Shen, who was by Qingji's side, counted 360 scholars and women who had the right to vote.

In other words, Yang Ying needs to get 180 votes to achieve his goal...

is it possible?

not much hope!

This time the debate meeting was also unprecedented.

On the huge debate square, there were no less than [-] scholars who came to watch. They all sat on the ground and looked at the debate stage with great interest.

Qingji was dressed in ordinary clothes, wearing a long crown, holding the Longyuan sword in one hand, and sat on the square platform. On the left and right sides were Zeng Shen, Bo Pi, Deng Xi and other important officials in the court.

And the one who took the lead in arguing with Yang Ying was none other than the emperor's grandson Wu Ji.

Originally, Qingji wanted Wu Ji to "avoid suspicion", but this kid insisted on participating.

"let's start."

"clang!"

With the sound of the gong, the debate was officially held.

Yang Ying first said: "Everyone, I think women should also have the right to read and write!"

"My Great Wu promotes 12 years of compulsory education, and it is stipulated that all the people of my Great Wu must go to school. The men are the people of the Great Wu. Isn't the daughter's family not the people of the Great Wu?"

"The world is composed of male and female genders, just like yin and yang, male is yang, female is yin, they complement each other, one is indispensable!"

"It's the same as procreating offspring. Without a man or a woman, you can never have a son and a half daughter!"

"Since this is the case, free education for all in Dawu and compulsory education for all, how can there be fewer girls?"

"What the girl said is really absurd!"

Wu Ji immediately retorted: "Women are really different from men. If you learn well, you will become an official. Miss, have you heard of any women who have been officials throughout the ages?"

"Ha ha."

Yang Ying sneered and said, "Sir, I think what you said is nonsense!"

"Who said 'scholarly excellence leads to officialdom'? Being an official may not be the only way out for scholars."

"Besides, who said that women can't be officials, can't go out into the palace, can't enter the palace?"

"Why is it that only men can be officials, while women can only care for their husbands and children, and remain unknown?"

"Rules are made by people, so they can naturally be broken by people, and they can be pushed back!"

After a pause, Yang Ying looked around again, looked at the scholars present, and said loudly: "Second and third sons, women should enjoy the same status and the same rights as men."

"So, if a man can be an official, a woman can also be an official. If a man can read, a woman can also read!"

"it is good!"

"color!"

The women behind Yang Ying all applauded and cheered.

However, the scholar was indifferent.

Wu Ji said with a smile: "Miss Yangying, the heavens have given great responsibility to the people, and the division of labor is clear, just like men plowing and women weaving."

"Women may not be able to do what men can do. Of course, men may not be able to do what women can do. This is the magic of the Creator!"

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for women to have husbands and children."

Hearing this, Yang Ying looked displeased and asked, "Sir, are you discriminating against women?"

"No."

Wu Ji shook his head and said: "They are all born in the mother's womb, who would discriminate against women? Who would dare to discriminate against women?"

"I just want to tell you that I, Da Wu, advocate virtue, and a woman without talent is virtue!"

"What's the benefit of my daughter's reading and literacy? Or how is it beneficial to the country?"

Yang Ying stared at her beautiful eyes and said, "Sir, you are clearly discriminating against women!"

"Who says women are inferior to men?"

"Thanks to His Majesty's merits, the country is now governed and prosperous, and we girls can all show our faces, go out to work, work in workshops, and earn money to support our families."

"Women can also engage in business, agriculture, medicine, labor, and even become officials in the court!"

"All we lack is a chance, a chance to change our destiny!"

"If women can read and write, they may not be worse than you men!"
