Chapter 585-Equality
"A girls' school? A school that only accepts female students?" Zhou Yue asked curiously.

"Yes, only female students are admitted. Except for some peripheral security positions that allow men, the rest are all women," Liu Xinqi replied.

"Can it recruit students? This kind of school." Zhou Yue didn't understand.

"Yes, we can be more professional than our families in terms of broadening relationships, learning knowledge, cultivating moral character, etc. We have an advantage. Parents with good family conditions will be willing to invest in their children." Liu Xin said.

"Investment? Does the girls' school charge fees?" Zhou Yue asked.

"Yes, there is a fee, and it's not cheap." Liu Xinqi replied.

"Then, what's the point of me?" Zhou Yue felt that this was just a business, raising ladies from wealthy families, which made people lose the sense of accomplishment of teaching and educating people.

When he was in the Ministry of Education, when he saw those children, Zhou Yue felt that he was doing a great thing. Just now he heard Liu Xinqi say that he was going to be the principal, and he thought he could continue to teach and educate people. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a cultivator. The role of "lady".

This makes Zhou Yue feel a bit like the bustard who trains the oiran in the "brothel".

"It makes sense. You should have heard the saying that the wind beside the pillow is the most powerful wind, right?" Liu Xinqi explained: "By changing the girls' inherent image of the Xinghan League in a girls' school, we can indirectly change it. How a large wave of wealthy households and gentry feel about the Xinghan League is very important to us, the Xinghan League."

"Shouldn't the main supporters of our Xinghan League be the poor people?" Zhou Yue said in surprise.

"Yes, but you have to admit that the proportion of elites in the middle class is much greater than that of ordinary people, and the governance and development of the country must ultimately be led by the elite." Liu Xinqi used a more neutral term "common people."

Before comprehensive universal education, this gap will be very large. Even if basic education is universal, it is impossible to achieve true fairness.

Because Liu Xinqi has always believed in "equality" rather than "fairness."

Fairness is a disguised form of unfairness to those who work hard and struggle.

To give the simplest example, in order to pursue fairness in later American universities, the admission scores of yellow people were much higher than those of white people, and the admission scores of white people were higher than those of black people. Even under this disadvantageous situation, the admission rate of yellow people was much higher than that of white people. It is still the highest, forcing American universities to limit the enrollment of yellow people.

This is for fairness!
Fairly protect the educational rights of whites and blacks.

But if you look at the problem from another direction, you will find that this is actually the biggest injustice to the yellow race.

If the principle of "equality" is followed, admission should be based on the same standards regardless of race.

This is the difference between "equality" and "fairness" in Liu Xinqi's cognition.

"Then let me give it a try." Zhou Yue seemed a little embarrassed. It was probably because of her husband's fate that she did not refuse. "Well, try it out, no matter whether these girls are rich or poor, they are all children, and they should be equal in education. You just organize the teaching according to the curriculum, and you don't have to think about other things." Liu Xinqi relieved road.

Girls' schools are a new thing, but this thing is necessary in this era, otherwise a large number of women will not be able to receive normal education.

But this girls' school is bound to be a place where disputes are concentrated. If it is handed over to someone who is worried, it may really become a "Madam", and these girls will be introduced to various families through matchmaking.

Therefore, Liu Xinqi could only ask his wife, Zhou Yue, whose mother is the most beautiful person in the world, to be the principal.

Not only is the gender appropriate, but the status is also the highest, which is unstoppable.

Quanzhou.

During the Southern Dynasties, the Indian monk Kanaratuo went to Quanzhou twice in the second year of Yongding of Emperor Wu of Chen (558) and the sixth year of Tianjia of Emperor Wen of Chen (565), and translated the Diamond Sutra on Jiuri Mountain in the western suburbs of Quanzhou. From Quanzhou, he took a boat to the Kingdom of Linggaxiu (today's Malay Peninsula) and the Kingdom of Uzeni (today's India).

In the Tang Dynasty, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Yangzhou, etc. were also known as the major ports for foreign trade in mainland China.The Tang Dynasty set up a military branch in Quanzhou to manage overseas transportation and trade matters.The foreign merchants who came to Quanzhou for trade during the Tang Dynasty were mainly Arabs and Persians, as well as people from Southeast Asia, India, Egypt, Japan, Korea and other countries.

At the beginning of the 33rd century of Kaiyuan, Arabia officially sent envoys to the mainland, and more and more envoys came subsequently.By the time of Wu Zetian (Kaiyuan 3381-3401), tens of thousands of Arabs were doing business in various ports in Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Hangzhou. Quanzhou Port was also frequented by "South China Sea ships", and "Islanders and foreigners were mixed on the island", which led to the emergence of " The grand occasion of "people from ten states in the market".

During the Five Dynasties, Quanzhou was under the jurisdiction of the State of Fujian. Wang Shenzhi, the king of Fujian, attached great importance to overseas trade and "attracted barbarian merchants from the sea." Quanzhou's overseas transportation further developed.In the late Five Dynasties, Quanzhou expanded its city limits, built additional roads and built warehouses to meet the needs of the development of overseas transportation and trade.

Entering the Zhao Kingdom, the maritime trade centered on Quanzhou was the leader and connected and interacted with the "Northern Ocean", "Eastern Ocean" and "Western Ocean" in the Asian seas, forming a maritime economic circle in the Eastern world.

"By 3829, Quanzhou had contacts with more than 70 foreign countries and regions. Overseas transportation was smooth, reaching the East and West Oceans, reaching the Japanese Kingdom in the east, the countries in the South China Sea in the south, and Persia, Arabia, and East Africa in the west. Imported goods are mainly Spices and medicines, silk and porcelain are the bulk export commodities." Zhao Nan introduced to Ye Chuan and Liu Xinyuan.

"Does Nan Zhao manage such an important port?" Liu Xinyuan asked.

"In the second year of Zhao Yuanyou's reign (3784), Quanzhou set up a city ship department, and later set up a distant station to receive tribute envoys and foreign businessmen. This city ship department has great power, but because it can pay a large amount of taxes to Zhao , so it has been very stable." Zhao Nan continued: "In order to encourage overseas traffic and trade, Quanzhou Shipping Department and local officials hold special "Prayer for the Wind" or "Sacrifice to the Sea" for Chinese and foreign businessmen every season when ships enter or leave the port. "Activity to wish sea ships safe sailing with favorable winds."

Seeing the two people's eagerness to try, Zhao Nan was a little embarrassed: "Are you really planning to move here? You have to understand that if you move Quanzhou, it is equivalent to touching Nan Zhao's pocketbook. Nan Zhao will definitely not let it go."

"On the second day of February, the alliance headquarters moved north to Daxing Prefecture. I estimate that the founding of the country will be within one or two months." Liu Xinyuan explained to Zhao Nan in detail the reason why he wanted to move to Quanzhou: "As a gift from the ministers, Liuqiu Island seems too big. It's 'small' now, I have to find a bigger gift to give to the new dynasty first."
