After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

"In the world, yin and yang are in harmony. There are as many men as there are women in the world. If these women can read and write like men, and become officials through the imperial examination, can't we directly double the number of talents available to us in Daqing? And other countries have not yet reused women. If we stay where we are, I will still worry about not being able to make the world bow by then in Daqing?"

What she said needs to be based on facts and expectations.

Any king would be agitated when he heard this, what's more, this was Ying Ze's plan in the first place, but he just said it through her mouth.

The progress was so fast that many officials never expected it, let alone organized verbal rebuttals in an instant.

And Lou Rongrong was also quite disturbed——

She herself knows better than these shocked officials that the biggest problem in allowing women to take scientific examinations is not to convince officials and emperors above the court, but the difficulties faced by every joint when it is actually implemented.

Not to mention anything else, just to say that no matter whether it is the county examination, the government examination or the provincial examination, the scholars have to take off their clothes and socks to check whether they are entrained or whether they bring prohibited items into the examination room.

But if it's a woman, who should be used for this inspection step?Female official?Where can I find so many female officials?

Ordinary woman?But how to ensure that these people will not bend the law for personal gain and accept bribes to help ladies cheat?

How to ensure that women will not bribe examiners or invigilators for the results of scientific examinations?

Women have been misunderstood by the world for a long time, and even they themselves are imprisoned by themselves. These seemingly simple details are actually fatal.

Fortunately, these men never put themselves in the position of women, and no one expected to get this. They just searched for some groundless reasons to refute without any offensive force.

There is only one general meaning: women should not study and become officials, so they cannot take part in the imperial examination.

Lou Rongrong retorted so much that she even found it funny.

What needs to be emphasized is that some officials know in their hearts that they are on Ying Ze's side, even if they want to demote others, it will never be their turn, and after some positions are vacant, it will definitely be their turn.

Therefore, even if they originally resisted the women's imperial examinations, they would keep silent for the sake of the next promotion.

In this way, in this strange atmosphere, the matter of women being able to participate in the imperial examination was finally settled.

With this matter settled, Lou Rongrong heaved a sigh of relief, the nerves that have been tense these days finally had a chance to breathe.

Leng Yuyan looked at her across the courtiers, and there was a complex emotion in her eyes that only women could understand.

After discussing the business, Ying Ze was obviously in a good mood, and asked Lou Rongrong with a smile:

"Rongrong, this time you have made meritorious service, but have you ever thought about what kind of reward you want?"

coming.

Lou Rongrong lifted her spirits and immediately said:

"Tianlu has been well-clothed and loved since he was a child. He really has nothing to want. If we really talk about it... In Tianlu Academy, there is a woman from a humble family background, but she is the most hardworking and diligent among all the students in the academy. , understanding and wisdom roots are not bad.”

"Tianlu has the courage to ask His Majesty for a grace to allow women like her, who are not reduced to low status due to family crimes, to take part in the imperial examination. If they can pass the exam and become officials, they will be given a chance to get rid of low status and become good. -"

Before she even finished speaking, someone stood up and retorted:

"Absurd! How can a lowly family take the scientific examination! If a lowly woman can participate in the scientific examination, does that mean that those who belong to the three religions, nine streams, and businessmen can also participate in the imperial examination?!"

"Princess, don't rely on His Majesty's favor to make more mischief! The court is not a play house for children, the princess should go back to the palace to play her own academy game!"

……

Even Leng Chuchun said calmly:

"The princess's heart is very kind, but this move is probably against etiquette."

Lou Rongrong knew that she would be opposed, but such a fierce refutation still made her feel a little cold.

In fact, what those officials said was right. In feudal dynasties, not everyone was able to take part in the imperial examination, not to mention lowly people like Qinglou women. Even businessmen and craftsmen were considered humble and could not take part in the imperial examination.

It is really difficult to give a woman who has gone astray a chance to start over.

But in the future, when more and more women can enter the court as officials, perhaps this situation will gradually change.

Lou Rongrong sighed inwardly, didn't insist any more, just continued:

"If so, Tianlu has another request."

……

Half an hour later, Lou Rongrong, who was facing backwards, dressed in court clothes, and followed Zheng Baisheng directly to Ying Ze's imperial study.

Ying Ze threw her a fruit from a long distance away, motioning for her to sit beside her:

"Take off that cumbersome body. I feel tired and flustered when I look at it. Your sister-in-law told me a few days ago that the phoenix crown she usually wears on her head weighs ten catties. I don't think the one on your head is much lighter. .”

Lou Rongrong turned her head to look at Zheng Baisheng, and the old eunuch smiled in her ear and said:

"The little prince is making a lot of noise these days, and His Majesty often visits the empress."

This makes sense.

Lou Rongrong smiled and took off the precious jewelry on her head, and she didn't see her. She sat next to Ying Ze while eating some fruit.

Ying Ze asked her:

"You recommended today that the Yun's Commercial Firm will be responsible for the construction and maintenance of all the academies. The imperial court will not pay for it. If it's a waste of money, where will he make money?"

Lou Rongrong was picking out her favorite snacks from the table, and saw a plate of lotus root pink pastries, which were quite unique in style, so she wanted to take them back to give Jiang Yu a taste, so she wrapped two pieces in silk cloth.

While moving, he turned back to Ying Ze and said:

"Brother Yun's business firms have opened all over Daqing. Compared with the imperial court looking for people to build them everywhere, the construction period, skills and costs are also uneven. Yun's commercial firm directly pays for the construction of all the academies, and the imperial court only needs to set aside corresponding sites. And Brother Yun’s request is only to state that the academy was funded by the Yun’s firm on the plaques or stones at the gates of all the academies...”

After wrapping up the velvet, I picked a piece to taste, only to find that it tasted like plums, sour and sweet, and she squinted her eyes involuntarily when she tasted it:

"Brother Emperor, don't underestimate this small line of characters. You must know that the women's academies that can be established today are all located in the state capital, and they are not exempted from schooling like in Beijing. Those who can really go to the academies are all from wealthy families. .Women’s brows, lip balm, clothes... Which one of these does not cost money? Add up all kinds of things, and the annual cost of a lady of a great family can easily be thousands of taels.”

"Using this small line of words in Yun's business is equivalent to promoting all kinds of shops in the family. When those girls need to spend money, they will naturally think of Yun's business in the first place. It will not take many years to earn back and build an academy. money used."
