I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Wang Qiulong refused repeatedly, but to no avail.

In the end, I can only respond.

In the evening, Wang Family prepared the meal. Du Qi was sitting at the main seat during the meal. The men of the Wang Family were in attendance. After the wine had three rounds of dishes and the five flavors, the food was almost finished. Du Qi looked towards Wang Qiulong and said: “Wang Village Head, now in this area near Mingqiu Mountain, I have taken a look at the life of the people in general, and it is still good.”

“It’s just that the king visited and checked. , I’m just looking at the flowers, I didn’t look carefully enough.”

“So those of you who live in the local area will understand more about specific issues. Tell me, there are some problems now. Good situation.”

Du Qi looked towards Wang Qiulong, with a look of expectation.

Because Wang Qiulong is the Village Head.

Similar to local tyrant, he is the one who knows the local situation best and the people’s livelihood best.

Wang Qiulong said resolutely: “Majesty, in fact, today’s age is really different from Heaven and Earth compared to a few years ago. The life in the past, if you can eat, it’s pretty good. I want to be extravagant. More, it is impossible to imagine.”

“But nowadays, the king exempts agricultural tax, corvee, etc., in addition to a few days ago, the government also ordered that as long as the people have more children, There are awards. For authentic Han people like us, children are registered and registered, starting with the third child, to the fourth child, and so on. There are more awards. It’s the past. These are things that I can’t even think of.”

“Now, it is great.”

“In addition, there is also an Academy in the village, and there is an Academy in the entire Mingqiu Mountain area to teach knowledge, so that children can read and read, and can understand the truth. all are things that are extremely cherished.”

Wang Qiulong said: “I think back then, when my grandfather was still alive, they wanted to read books at all. Because ordinary people couldn’t read books and didn’t have the capital to read books. But now The government grants financial subsidies to run schools so that more people can study.” Du Qi nodded, Wang Qiulong’s words are indeed good, and the world is much better today.

But Du Qi is not complacent because of these.

This is what he should do.

Du Qi said solemnly: “What Wang Village Head mentioned just now is a well known policy and a good thing. This king wants to listen, you should know that it is not these things, but some improper things. It’s good for the people. It’s just so, it’s good for the king to make adjustments, and won’t continue to affect the people.”

Wang Qiulong said resolutely: “Xia Wang, want to say something bad now There are also many trivial questions. Don’t go into details. Because in the world, impossible is nothing bad. This Commoner knows one thing, and if it can be corrected, it’s really good.”

Du Qi Said: “Let’s talk about it!”

Wang Qiulong said resolutely: “This Commoner not only serves as the Village Head in the village, but also in charge of the affairs of the village. In addition, there are many villages near Mingqiu Mountain, all Together we set up the Academy, which is the Mingqiu Mountain Academy in our village.”

“This Academy is a place where many people’s children study. People’s children only need to pay very little money to study. Because the government has subsidies, these children can study for a small amount of money.”

“The problem is that in this case, there are still many people who are unwilling to send their children to school, thinking that they Useless. In addition, especially girls, the common people are unwilling to send them.”

“In the eyes of the people, girls are money-losing goods. When they grow up, they have to marry. They cannot be passed down. Scattered leaves. It is not easy to persuade the people. This situation has formed a rigid cognition and it is difficult to change it.”

Wang Qiulong said: “This is the moment. The most troublesome.”

Du Qi nodded after listening.

Du Qi can understand the problem mentioned by Wang Qiulong, especially the poorer the place, the more obvious this phenomenon is.

Preferring sons to daughters.

This is very common in later generations.

Du Qi is also a little silent at the moment, because it is not a matter of one day to solve this matter, and he can change it without a command. Especially under the current premise, it is difficult to solve the phenomenon of patriarchy.

The status of later generations of women has increased because of the advancement of society with the development of science, and women can live independently and have a place in society without being attached to men.

This is the foundation of status promotion.

Even so, there are still some problems. So it is quite difficult for Du Qi to solve this problem now.

Shangguan Yi said: “Majesty, according to the minister, it is not a matter of one day to solve the problem of women not going to school. At present, Wang Village Head can only bother and persuade the villagers to let these women Enrollment.”

As a counselor, Shangguan Yi knows the situation.

It is difficult for women to read.

Ma Zhou echoed: “The minister also agrees with Mr. Shangguan’s analysis. Under the current circumstances, it is difficult to reverse the problem of girls enrolling in school. Therefore, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of children’s schooling. It is fundamental to let all boys go to school.”

Laiji also holds the same opinion.

At the moment, whether it is Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, or Laiji, for the sake of vision and insight, it is impossible to make more reforms.

Du Qi is wondering in his heart that in this era, men dominate, and even in future generations, although men and women are equal, women have children and other reasons. In many cases, impossible and men have the same development. space.

However, in many ways, women have the delicateness that men do not.

Du Qi has a plan in mind.

Women’s situation is indeed to be changed, but as Shangguan Yi and the others said, you can’t be anxious, you can only change it step by step.

Du Qi looked towards Wang Qiulong, said resolutely: “Wang Village Head, you are in charge of the Academy’s education. It’s good to be able to pay attention to women’s affairs. In this regard, you have to bother, and this king will Start arranging the Imperial court officials to inspect the matter and persuade the people to try their best to resolve this matter. What you have to do now is to encourage the people to let their children study.”

paused, Du Qi continued : “If you don’t study, you can only face the loess with your back to the sky, or go out to work. If you want to change your family’s destiny, if you want to stand out, you can only read. As for a family that is too difficult, you can’t afford the tuition for studying. You are the Village. Head, you can start to give some subsidies and help.”

Wang Qiulong said resolutely: “This Commoner understands.”

Du Qi said: “But there are some others Things?”

Wang Qiulong said: “Otherwise, there are not many things. After all, in Xia Country now, because of the rule of King Xia, the people live well and live well. Everyone, I cherish the hard-won life now.”

Du Qi stopped talking and continued to eat with everyone. After dinner, Wang Qiulong led Du Qi, Ma Zhou, Shangguan Yi and the others to a separate courtyard for Du Qi and the others to rest, and then resigned.

Du Qi and Shangguan Yi were together, and Shangguan Yi said: “Majesty, the minister looks at you. You had some thoughts on the matter of girls enrolling in school. It was just not elaborated at the time.”

Ma Zhou, Laiji, Guan Zhilan looked towards Du Qi together.

They all see it too.

Du Qi lightly said with a smile: “To solve the problem of women’s status, it is not something that can be done overnight, nor can it be done easily. However, this king does intend to reform.”

Shangguan Yi asked: “How is the king going to reform?”

Du Qi passed a sharp light in his eyes and said: “The reform is carried out from top to bottom. In the previous Imperial Court, They are all men as officials. But then, as long as women are talented and capable, they can be officials, without taboos or squeezing. In addition, many factories, many hospitals, etc., need to use women, which can be done gradually Change. More and more people notice the abilities of women and that women are indispensable, and they will naturally change.”

bang!! !

Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou and the others were shocked when they heard this.

They did not expect that Du Qi’s reform would be like this, but they can be sure that implementing Du Qi’s plan will inevitably cause an uproar. There will be countless people criticizing this matter, and it is more likely Someone blamed this.
