"Besides, men and women are inherently different, so they are suitable for different jobs. Men are outsiders and women are insiders. This is a rule passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years... Although it cannot be said that it cannot be modified, normal people, uh, I It means that if there are no special circumstances, I don’t think anyone would think of changing this kind of thing.”

……

He smiled awkwardly at Zhang Yan, Xu Shu stopped speaking after saying this, but fell into silence for a while.

His eyes were fixed on Zhang Yan's face, apparently waiting for an answer from this somewhat different emperor.

……

"Well, you said that the division of labor between men and women is different, it is true, you are right..."

Gently nodded towards Xu Shu, Zhang Yan touched his chin, and then continued:

"Yuan Zhi, it's just that, yes, it's not right."

"Many times, we can't just know something, but also understand why something happened."

"Have you ever thought about why our Chinese girls have never had the habit of receiving extensive education?"

Fingers tapped lightly on the table, Zhang Yan's eyes shone brightly - he didn't want to delve into this issue at first, but since Xu Shu asked here, he didn't mind saying a few more words.

Even if he was unlucky, it wouldn't do any harm for the words to come out of his mouth.And if you're lucky, Zhang Yan might use this opportunity to expand Xu Shu's way of thinking, making him more transparent than the original world line.

PS: I understand the truth, but this kind of dialogue is really difficult to write.

I really want to write the kind of fight between two strong men, you can punch and kick each other, and you can swear a lot of words!

This kind of literary drama also needs to consider the thoughts of the characters, it is very tiring to write...

Chapter 23 Old Master Confucius: Don’t cue

"Indeed, not only our Han people in China, but also those Huns in the northern part of the Great Wall, Hu people in the Western Regions, or Jiangxia barbarians in the south, there is also a division of labor between men and women in them."

"But it should be noted that this division of labor does not mean that the two are different in the field of 'human', but simply because of the difference in physiological structure, so they have their own specialties."

……

"Yuanzhi, don't look at me clamoring to give women the same social rights all day long, but I also support the division of labor between men and women."

While talking to Xu Shu word by word, Zhang Yan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly he laughed uncontrollably:

……

"Equality does not mean that the two are exactly the same. I don't think it's a bad thing to have a male lead outside and a female lead inside."

"But learning is different."

"Learning is to open up wisdom, and it is a right that any member of a civilized race should enjoy, not a job."

"I made a promise to one person. I can't control other people's territory, but in my territory, both men and women will have the minimum human rights."

"In terms of receiving education, I will definitely find a way to guarantee it through legislation from the government's perspective."

Turning around and looking at Ye'er behind him with a smile, Zhang Yan took advantage of the time when everyone was still bowing their heads in thought, quietly took the other's hand and squeezed it lightly.

That was more than a year ago, when he just came to Dahan, 2000 years ago, Zhang Yan made the promise to Ye'er in Luoyang City.

And although these words sound reasonable from the perspective of modern people, if they were placed 2000 years ago, it would be a bit shocking.

……

"Mr. Zhang, from your point of view, I am afraid that what you want is not just that women can receive education in schools like men, but that men and women should treat each other equally and enjoy the same social resources and social status?"

"My lord, you have big plans!"

……

A somewhat old voice came from Zhang Yan's side. This time, it was not the young and aggressive Xu Shu who spoke, but Huang Chengyan, an old man who had been racing all the way to the age of 40, with half of his foot in the coffin. ——As for the current Xu Shu, he is still meditating with his eyes closed.

……

"My lord, what you said is really interesting. You actually said that you want to gradually realize equality between men and women."

"But do you know that before us, the Three Emperors Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin, there was never even a single day when men and women were equal?"

There was a faint light in his eyes, and it was obvious that Huang Chengyan was waiting for Zhang Yan's answer.

It has to be said that after Huang Chengyan became interested in the topic between Zhang Yan and Xu Shu, and tried to get involved in it, Zhang Yan's pressure suddenly increased by more than an order of magnitude.

Not because of anything else, but because Huang Chengyan, an old fritter, is not as easy to talk as Xu Shu, but he posed a huge problem to Zhang Yan when he came up:

That is to say, "the law of the ancestors cannot be abolished".

……

"My lord, according to the thousands of years of our Chinese tradition, there has never been a dynasty where men and women were equal!"

"Even if you have a lot of power locally, it is still very difficult to change the living habits of people in a region, right?"

……

"Indeed, that's the truth."

Fortunately, Zhang Yan is not easy to get along with.

Don't look at Huang Chengyan's eyes shining now, as if he is so shrewd... But Zhang Yan's advances and retreats are well-founded and well-organized, so why isn't he at the peak of his thinking?

I saw him blinking, then slowly said:

……

"Patriarch Huang, of course I know what you said."

"But it should be noted that the reason why men and women were not given the same social status before was because in China, there are not so many resources to call on. This is a last resort behavior, and it does not mean that Absolutely true under any circumstances@”

"In other words, in the past, there was no ability to support all the people to receive education, and only men with a longer average life expectancy could receive education."

"Women have to be temporarily put on hold because of the high mortality rate in childbirth."

……

"I, Zhang, are not talented. I have been in Lujiang for more than a year. I may not have done much in other things, but only in the field of food production, which is now related to people's livelihood, the field of agriculture, animal husbandry and animal husbandry. It’s a bit of a gain.”

"I dare to talk to you today, Patriarch Huang, just take it for fun and don't need to pay too much attention to it—"

"Today's big man, among dozens of hundreds of counties and cities, there are probably no more than one hand with enough grain storage in the city to play like me."

"For most of the local officials, following me to popularize education has almost no meaning except to speed up the rate of starvation of the people in their territory."

……

Speaking to the few people present with extraordinary confidence, Zhang Yan's expression at the moment was also full of wisdom.

"For anything, we should try our best to understand and learn his inner logic and methods, instead of simply learning a simple noun and applying it."

"Otherwise, let alone a literati, who knows it but doesn't know why, at most he is the kind of layman who has spent two days in the collection of classics and history!"

……

"Haha, interesting, indeed interesting!"

"Zhang Shijun, you are a layman's statement, but it makes us brothers a little ashamed!"

On the other side of Zhang Yan, Huang Chengyan and others burst into laughter after hearing this.

Zhang Yan's statement was indeed a little new, and the sentence that he only knew but didn't know why, really spoke deeply into the hearts of the people present, and shocked the spirits of the people present.

Whether it is the younger Xu Shu and Cui Jun or the older Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and others, which one of these people is not a master with a big heart and a lot of arrogance?

Although they usually don't talk about it, literati are born with contempt, which means that in their eyes, those vulgar literati are no different from ordinary people, and may even be worse.

Under such circumstances, how could they be unhappy after hearing Zhang Yan's words?

……

"Hehe, of course, but today these are just the opinions of my family. All of you here are famous celebrities, but I am just a layman. Just listen to it, and don't pay too much attention to it."

"But if there are no other questions, can I continue to talk about the previous topic now?"

Arching his hands towards everyone present, Zhang Yan stood up with a smile, stroked the wrinkles on his body, and then walked to the middle of the square hall.

……

"The words of the emperor are like thunder piercing through the ears, and they are clear to the ears."

"Please say it again, say it harshly, and I will treat you with respect!"

Behind him, several people looked at each other, then they all bowed their hands to Zhang Yan in unison, and then looked at the man in the middle in unison.

……

……

……

"Okay, since everyone has expressed their views, I will simply say a few words."

"It's an honor for me, Marquis Zhang Yan of the Wan Kingdom, to meet you today, but at the same time... this will also be a great blessing in your life, and a unique opportunity for you!"

"I have already told you during the meal that the inequality between men and women in our society is actually a rather backward status quo. It is a compromise with backward productivity and production conditions. It requires us to Deficiencies for which relentless effort has been made to improve.”

"Unfortunately, the current Lujiang River, the current Wancheng City, may be the only place where we big men have the ability to make changes."

"As long as you are willing, you will join me in participating in an unprecedented transformation."

……

In any case, he has been a provincial and ministerial senior official for more than a year. It is hard to say whether Zhang Yan's other abilities have improved, but he is indeed much better than before in terms of giving speeches and motivating people's hearts.

I saw that he walked like a dragon and a tiger, his eyebrows and eyes were straight, and there was a powerful aura in his gestures.

An aura that seemed to coerce Mr. Pound and others to devote themselves to a great cause.

Don't you see, the older ones, such as Huang Chengyan, are now kneeling on the floor, taking deep breaths, as if their blood pressure is rising.

As for the younger ones, such as Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, they stood up with excitement, as if they would draw out the sword at their waists anytime and anywhere, and dance for a while.

……

"I... of course I am willing to wait!"

……

Humming gently with a very small voice, no one else noticed Xu Shu's small movements at this time.

In other words, at this moment, everyone's attention has already focused on Zhang Yan.
