Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"This is the wild, there is no third person except you and me. There is no control of masters and servants, no suppression of seniority, no distinction between rich and poor..."

"It's just you and me here, the two of us."

"Ye'er, tell me, do you think it was the right thing to learn to read and write when you were young?"

"If you...cough, if we have a child in the future, a girl, do you want her to be educated from an early age like you, or do you want her to live a simpler and purer life?"

……

Asking Ye'er softly, Zhang Yan stared into Ye'er's eyes, as if he wanted to find his own answer from those eyes.

In order to reduce the psychological rejection of the other party, Zhang Yan even used words such as "simple" and "simple" that sound less unpleasant.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Yan's words, Ye'er's pretty face turned pale for no reason, and then suddenly rose a pink red color like a cherry.

Holding Zhang Yan's hand lightly, she faltered for a long time before finally suffocating a sentence.

……

"I... our daughter?"

"If the master likes his daughter... well, I think, it should be to teach her some basic reading and literacy methods..."

……

It seems that it took Ye'er a lot of courage to say this sentence, and it may also be because of the patriarchal thinking of this era that made her misunderstand what Zhang Yan said just now.

All in all, after hearing Zhang Yan's words, Ye'er took a long time to respond, and then buried her face on Zhang Yan's shoulder, without any intention of continuing.

"why?"

On the other hand, Zhang Yan was obviously very interested in this answer which was different from the one he had received before, so he couldn't help but continue to question Ye'er.

"Why does Ye'er think it would be better for her to read and read? I have asked many people before, and they all seem to have a lot of prejudice against letting girls accept elementary school."

……

"Because she is your daughter..."

She answered with a voice like a gnat, and after Zhang Yan repeatedly questioned her several times, Ye'er blushed and raised her head to look in the direction of her master.

……

"Because... that's our daughter. If possible, of course I want to give her the best."

"and also……"

"Also, when Ye'er entered Luoyang, it was because he knew better calligraphy than other people that he caught Zhang Changshi's eyes, and he took him back to his mansion to adopt him, and helped him along the way. Take care of some usual business."

"If it wasn't for this, Ye'er probably wouldn't be able to see the master, right?"

"Looking at it this way, it's always good to learn more..."

Leaning against Zhang Yan's side, Ye'er just chatted and talked nonchalantly.

When mentioning her past, she pursed her lips very rarely, as if she was a little embarrassed to mention it.

In this situation, it wasn't until Zhang Yan stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders and squeezed her hands into his palms that the unspeakable sense of shame gradually receded from Ye'er's heart.

"Well, it's basically like this. Ye'er thinks it's good to be able to read some books and learn to write. Anyway, master, you are not like us in the past. You have to rely on your children to work in the fields, and idleness is idleness." Come on, let’s learn something.”

"As for the others, Ye'er is just guessing, probably because they are too poor..."

"Reading and reading is not free of cost. Whether it is pen, ink, paper and inkstone, or buying books, it is not a small expense."

"Maybe some people's families are different, but when Ye'er was still living in his hometown, most of the neighbors whose families were not so good had this idea."

"Life is not easy. Everyone knows that reading is a good thing, but there are so many children, and how rich a family is, so that every child can afford to read and practice calligraphy?"

"At the end of the day, there is only one choice. The son can marry a wife and have children in the future, while the daughter can only marry into someone else's family. It's a waste of time for them..."

"If it wasn't for the fact that Ye'er's father died early and I was the only child, Ye'er's fate would be no different from those ordinary women, right?"

……

Looking at the sky with some disappointment, Ye'er was sitting beside Zhang Yan at this moment, as if recalling a bad experience in the past.

But soon, a somewhat warm touch passed over her cheek, and finally landed gently on the corner of her lips.

"Well……"

……

"Hey, don't think too much, my husband just encountered a little trouble at work recently, so I want to ask Ye'er's opinion, there is no other meaning."

"As for now, I've figured it out."

"I hope that Ye'er can also care more about her present and future, and care about those days when I existed, instead of being immersed in the memories of the past."

Gently leaning against the opponent's forehead, Zhang Yan gently closed his eyes, but in his heart, a feeling of being different was gradually rising.

……

Yes, he finally understood.

He finally understood why all the educators told him it was better not to educate girls.

The answer is surprisingly sad.

PS: Ah, another chapter, still continuing to write, come on, I will never touch fish again.

For the sake of my efforts to add updates, please count the votes and blades for a reward

As of tomorrow, I will see how many words I can write!

Chapter 2 Chinese people are always somewhat talented in this respect and are harmless

Why is there such a situation?

In fact, the answer is also very simple, that is, in the final analysis, the key to Zhang Yan’s question is not whether the people accept full education for women, but whether the people think women are “worthy” of receiving a full education.

Just like what Yeer said, it costs money to read and write, and the children who are studying can't help the family with the farm work. This removes a ready-made labor force for no reason, but it costs more Not a small amount of food.

Not to mention those people from relatively poor families, even the rich peasant family where Xiang Yeer used to live, they can only support her to read and write alone.

If you want to educate the whole people, at least the new generation of children should receive universal education. How can this matter be so simple?

And in the final analysis, Zhang Yan can't blame those common people for not being farsighted.If he has vision, can he still be called an ordinary person?

In the final analysis, isn't it because he, the prefect, didn't do enough?Is it because the people in his territory are not rich enough to afford enough surplus food?

……

If you really want to say, in fact, Lujiang is relatively rich now.At least after two consecutive years of bumper harvests, the Lujiang government's treasury is relatively rich.

Coupled with the continuous output of fertilizers, gunpowder, and cement, and the vigorous development of many pillar industries with textiles and smelting as the core, Zhang Yan is now in the entire Jiangdong... and even the entire southeast corner of China. , can be regarded as a slightly rich man.

It was precisely because of this that after thinking through all this, Zhang Yan immediately took Ye'er back to Wancheng, and at the same time questioned many women he knew well.

Except for the little girl from the Cai family who scolded him with a red face and didn't respond positively, the rest of the people gave him answers similar to Zhang Yan's guess, that is, without affecting normal life. Therefore, it is not impossible to allow children to receive education equally.

……

What does not affect life?It sounds good to say, but in practice, it will naturally take countless money to open the way.

Fortunately, Zhang Yan did not do this the first time he arrived in Lujiang, but waited for more than a year.

The accumulation of more than a year has also made Zhang Yan more confident than before.

Not worried about spending money?

simple.

All expenses incurred for basic education will be reimbursed by the Lujiang government on demand.Anyway, the paper mill and printing workshop are owned by the government. The extra paper and unconsumable productivity are still idle, so it is better to use them for something meaningful.

As for the fact that learning affects work and indirectly affects family income, it is not too difficult to solve it.

Zhang Yan needs to move the age of education a little earlier, and then use the headcount as the basis to give some subsidies to every family with a child who is studying.

In this way, after a lot of patchwork, Zhang Yan compiled a first draft version of the education bill soon.

Fortunately, this bill quickly passed the approval of those officials under Zhang Yan who had been engaged in education, such as the old man of the Pang family.

It's just a pity that before the bill could be implemented, another group of people jumped out, adding a lot of problems to Zhang Yan.

……

"Prefect, this decree...doesn't seem appropriate?"

……

It can be said that if someone else said such specious words to Zhang Yan today, he would definitely not care too much, and would treat him as an ordinary scholar who wanted to show his role, and throw him to the grassroots of Lujiang for training That's it.

However, it was not someone else who raised opinions on Zhang Yan, but the patriarch of a major local force in Lujiang, the head of the Qiao family, Mr. Qiao Xuanqiao.

Even though Qiao Xuan didn't have any fame, he had two good daughters.Not to mention anything else, Zhang Yan had to think seriously about Qiao Xuan's suggestion because of the in-law relationship.

And his seriousness really made him see a little problem.

"This thing seems really inappropriate..."

Looking at his manuscript and muttering for a long time, Zhang Yan thanked Qiao Xuan, and then retreated again, sealing himself up again.

If the problem that Zhang Yan encountered before was the main contradiction in the education of men and women, then the suggestions Qiao Xuan made to him were secondary contradictions hidden under the main contradiction under the current social system.

If Zhang Yan hadn't discovered this in advance, then this decree would not have caused the common people to live in distress, but there would definitely be quite a few people who complained about it.

……

The first thing to bear the brunt is the discrimination and confrontation between men and women in the Eastern Han Dynasty for thousands of years, which made men form a very serious discrimination rule against women.

If adults know how to restrain each other, that would be fine.With this group of children, who can guarantee that there won't be any stories about the son of a rogue family who bullied the daughter of a rich lady and was directly thrown into the Yangtze River by evil servants?

In addition to gender discrimination, class discrimination is also a serious contradiction that is almost unavoidable.

Let’s just say that between people, some people are wrapped tightly in swaddling clothes worth tens of millions at birth, while others can only hug them in cotton and linen rags, and at the same time pray that the child will not be frozen to death by the severe cold in the future.

When they finally grew up, the rich and noble, such as the Qiao family and the Zhou family, spent thousands of dollars in clothes and robes, while those from poor and poor families, even farmers, did not even have a new dress. I can't afford to buy clothes, so I can only pick up the old clothes of my parents' generation and patch them.

Don't talk about others, just Qiao Ying's new wedding dress, I'm afraid it can't be replaced by how many decades or hundreds of years a poor family has spent?

sad?

Yes, it is very sad, even Zhang Yan himself is at the top of this "chain of contempt", causing a lot of mental pressure on other scholars around him all the time.

Don't think that "discrimination" is just an active thing. When you are more "dignified" than others in everything, the other party feels "discriminated against", which is also a sin that you cannot get rid of.
