Wen Jiu raised his head and looked at the person who was speaking, with a smile on his face: "Oh? What's wrong with that?"

Qiao Shinian recognized him, Zhao Zhongchang, the chief officer of Xingzhou. If the governor Wan Chengshi was the highest official, then this man was the second-in-command, slightly inferior.

I think it was not just Zhao Zhongchang's idea to be the first to take action.

Qiao Shinian shifted her gaze towards Wan Chengshi, whom she had just complimented. Behind him sat a young man who looked to be about the same age as Wen Jiu. When he saw her looking at him, he immediately gave a flattering smile.

Qiao Shinian looked away. Judging from his clothes, he should be the son of a stupid official.

Zhao Zhongzhang coughed and cleared his throat and said, "Since ancient times, men are superior to women. This is a rule engraved in the bones of all women.

Since ancient times, men have farmed and women have woven, men have been in charge of the outside world and women have been in charge of the inside world, in accordance with the order of yin and yang.

And now this girl wants to break the rules, I can't just sit there and watch!"

What Zhao Zhongzhang said was well-reasoned. After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Cuicui who was sitting behind Qiao Shinian, pointed at her and said, "Especially a woman who has fallen into depravity and ruined the family! How can she stand in front of people in broad daylight? It is really shameful and unworthy of the saints!"

After hearing this, Wen Jiu just turned his head and looked at Qiao Shinian. He smiled and said, "Sister, the power I gave you is too great as this chief historian said. Now, he has expressed his opinion, and it's your turn to speak."

Qiao Shinian was already aware of Wen Jiu's attitude. Wen Jiu would no longer stand in front of her recklessly as he did before and tell everyone that he was on her side.

Qiao Shinian stood up, leaned over to Zhao Zhongzhang, and said, "Since ancient times? Since ancient times, humans have worn animal skins, held spears in their hands, and run barefoot in various places to pursue prey that can fill their stomachs. Then why doesn't this lord follow the ancient custom and wear animal skins naked? Why are you standing here in a well-dressed manner and talking nonsense about confining women to the backyard so that you can enjoy yourself?"

Qiao Shinian's two questions stunned everyone present, and then the children behind her laughed out loud, and the childish voices were like a light slap on Zhao Zhongchang's face.

He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointed at Qiao Shinian and said, "Don't try to quibble!"

"No, if Zhao Changshi wants to use the past to discuss the present, then I have no choice but to do the same as Changshi and use the past to discuss the present." Qiao Shinian said with a smile.

Zhao Zhongchang turned his head awkwardly and looked around, hoping someone would come to help him. He never expected Qiao Shinian to say this. He had imagined all kinds of scenarios. He had imagined Qiao Shinian being frightened and stunned on the spot, and he had imagined that Qiao Shinian might have some courage to argue with him that women are also human beings and have their own ideas and choices.

He never thought that this woman would refute his point of view in public and find facts that agreed with his point of view.

"Oh~ This gentleman's expression, could it be that he doesn't know the ancient history? He doesn't know how we can step by step from the jungle, wearing animal skins and eating raw meat to where we are today? Then I should explain it in detail. The children behind me all know that we should not forget our roots! Don't just remember the saints and forget the ancient ancestors!"

Qiao Shinian sneered and continued, "Since Lord Changshi has nothing to say for the time being, then you all should listen to me first!"

Wen Jiu obediently handed a metal microphone to Qiao Shinian: "Use this, the sound can be heard far away."

"Just now, the Chief Clerk said that since ancient times, men are superior to women. The correct and true meaning is that men should respect themselves and women should be humble! It is not a literal translation, that men are born superior and women should be slaves at home!

Well, since we just talked about ancient times, let me talk to you about things since ancient times.

Since ancient times, our ancestors lived on the common sense of eating raw meat and drinking blood, until an ape-man discovered the use of fire. Since then, human civilization officially began!

People began to use fire to drive away wild beasts and cook food!

Since ancient times, tribes have coordinated to fight together, and women can also go out hunting, leaving a small number of injured or weak men and women in the tribe to take care of the elderly and young tribesmen!

Later, people gradually learned to capture and raise livestock alive, discovered food, understood the changes of the four seasons, and spun cloth to make clothes.

Later, he changed from a tribal leader to the current emperor!

Since ancient times, no one has restrained women. Only weak men are afraid of women leaving the house, afraid that women can do what they can do, and afraid that they will be outdone by women and hurt men's face and self-esteem, so they use all means to suppress women. "

Qiao Shinian put down the phone, looked at Zhao Zhongzhang, and asked, "Chief Secretary, do you have anything else to say?"

Director Zhao secretly glanced at Wan Chengshi who was sitting there motionless. He had not expected today's development.

"Since you said women should leave the house, what do you think we should do if they are bullied and lose their innocence outside? We are at home to protect them!"

Qiao Shinian frowned, thought for a while and said, "If so, the man who bullied the woman should be sentenced to death, but in order to make up for the harm the woman suffered, the man should serve as a laborer in the government office, and all the money he earned should belong to the woman. And when he is unable to continue serving, he should be beheaded immediately as a warning to the public!"

"How can such a harsh and inhumane ruling convince the public?!"

"Is it too harsh? Why didn't he think about the harm done to the woman when he committed the crime? Why didn't he think about the consequences? If everyone just followed their own will, the country would have been in chaos long ago. How can you, Lord Changshi, still be here to tell me that this punishment is too harsh?"

After Qiao Shinian finished his retort, he continued, "A country cannot stand without laws, and a person cannot be called a person without humanity. Has the Chief Secretary forgotten the truth that even a three-year-old child understands?"

"Tell me, what kind of work can women do? They are born weak, their hands can't lift or shoulder, and their brains are not as good as ours. When it comes to defending the country, women are as timid as mice. They will be scared to death when they see a dead person. If the enemy army comes, do you want to rely on such women to defend the country?"

"Tsk! Mr. Zhao, what an ugly debate!" Wen Jiu put down his glass and stood up. He looked at Mr. Zhao, who was still blushing, then looked at Qiao Shinian and said, "Since you both disagree with each other's point of view, let's have a competition. Choose a few topics and choose three people for each topic. Let's see who wins and who loses, who is right and who is wrong between you two on this day next year."

"This..." Director Zhao looked at Wen Jiu in confusion, and saw that Wen Jiu had already walked to the roasted whole lamb with a dagger and was cutting the lamb.

In the firelight, Wen Jiu's figure was half in the light and half in the dark.

"Your Majesty! This kind of thing..."

"Ding~~" Wen Jiu's dagger had been thrown onto his desk from a distance, making a dull buzzing sound.

"Alright! Today is my birthday, shouldn't you be happy for my birth?! I will lead you to live a good life, and no one will have to go hungry anymore!"

Wen Jiu raised his hands and almost shouted the last sentence.

The farmhands outside raised their wine bowls and shouted!

For a moment, everyone had no choice but to raise their wine bowls to pay tribute to Jiu.
