After binding the system, I became a national mystery person
Chapter 13 Brother (12)
Besides, this is a great temptation.
I believe Xie Anyun will work very hard to persuade the noble ladies in the capital to join.
Not long after, news spread in the capital that the Prime Minister's sister, Xie Anyun, was holding a flower viewing party in three days and invited all the noble ladies in the capital to attend.
In order to make everyone think that this was a matchmaking party, Miss Xie specifically pointed out that married women could also participate in the party.
After Su Jinru handed the matter over to Xie Anyun, she went to take care of her own business. She believed that Xie Anyun would get it done.
Sure enough, three or four days after the flower viewing party, Xie Anyun came to Su Jinru's house with a piece of paper.
"Miss Xie, you look so radiant. Did you come to see me with good news?" Su Jinru joked.
Xie Anyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. There are so many people who want to participate in this event."
This incident was a little unexpected for her, but not completely unexpected.
After all, the imperial decree allowing women to serve as officials had been issued a few years ago, but there had been no movement in the capital, and some noble ladies had not mentioned this matter in public.
She thought she was the only one who wanted to serve as an official in the court, and no one else had the same idea.
When I asked someone at a flower-viewing banquet a few days ago, I found out that it was because of the strong opposition from their fathers and brothers that everyone was afraid to take the imperial examination.
But things are different now. Imperial Physician Su Jinru suggested that Prime Minister Xie’s sister take the lead, and then they will not be afraid anymore.
When their father and brothers at home questioned them, they had no choice but to use Doctor Su as an excuse.
Just thinking about the fact that I could serve as an official in the court with my father and brothers, as a woman, makes me happy.
Su Jinru took the list brought by Xie Anyun, which included the names of those who were willing to participate in the establishment of the Imperial College, and the amount of investment at the end.
"Although you are providing the funds, everyone also wants to contribute their own efforts. We all sincerely want to run this Imperial College well."
Looking at the list, Su Jinru was very happy that she had not been working on this matter alone.
"That's great. Thank you, Miss. Please discuss this matter with them and get it done as soon as possible. Just let me know how much silver you need."
The papermaking technology that he had collaborated with the emperor on, as well as his previous contributions of things like glass and the rewards given by the emperor, all these combined were more than enough to accomplish this task.
With Su Jinru's financial support, Xie Anyun and others quickly finalized the address and teacher of the Women's Imperial College.
Xie Anyun and Su Jinru took the lead in opening the Imperial College and did not intend to hide it from others, so everyone soon knew about it.
Some people reacted calmly, while others reacted strongly. The imperial decree allowing women to serve as officials in the court had been issued for several years, and Su Jinru thought everyone had accepted it.
I didn't expect that most people would disagree.
People in the court did not object to Su Jinru's participation in political affairs because her contributions were something that many people could not do.
But that doesn't mean they are willing to be in the court with other women. They thought that the imperial edict issued by the emperor was only aimed at Su Jinru.
Because Su Jinru was still the only one in the court, they had never taken the imperial edict issued by the emperor seriously.
So during the court meeting, everyone strongly criticized the idea of opening a women's room.
"The Emperor has issued an imperial decree allowing women to serve in the imperial court for several years. Are you now opposing the establishment of a female Imperial College? Are you openly defying His Majesty's decree?"
Now they only use the idea that men and women should be kept separate and women can only stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.
"If that's the case, shouldn't I be at home playing the zither and writing poetry instead of serving as an official in the court?"
If it weren't for their own contributions, the Shang Dynasty would not have become so powerful so quickly relying only on the things the emperor brought back from his voyages.
"Besides, the establishment of the Imperial College for Women did not require any financial or human resources from you gentlemen, nor did it require any financial or human resources from the court.
What are you all objecting to? Are you afraid that women will be more capable than you and you will lose confidence?"
After all, the biggest reason these people opposed it was that having women serve as officials in the court would infringe upon their interests and deprive them of some of their voice.
"You..." How could the court officials agree with this statement? How could they be inferior to women?
"It has been a long time since the Emperor issued the decree that women can also take the imperial examinations and serve as officials.
In the past few years, I haven't seen any women other than Doctor Su serving as officials in the court. Is it because of the secret manipulation of the gentlemen present?
Not allowing women to study is a blatant rebellion against the Emperor's decision?" Prime Minister Xie said, clasping his hands.
This is a serious crime.
"Your Majesty is innocent. How could we openly disobey your imperial decree?" The ministers knelt down.
As things have developed to this point, no matter how stupid they are, they have realized that the emperor has not expressed his opinion, but what Prime Minister Xie said represents the emperor's opinion.
Maybe the emperor has disliked them for a long time and is just giving them a warning now. If they don't understand, the consequences may be serious.
Everyone calmed down and agreed to open the Imperial College for Women.
When the Imperial College for Women was opened, most of the students who came were daughters of court officials and wealthy businessmen. They were strongly opposed to it at first, but are now so active.
The Imperial College for Women is now only in the capital, and if we want all women in the world to have access to education, this one Imperial College is not enough.
More imperial academies for women need to be opened, but not everyone can afford to study there.
I could open a school where women only need to study for three years, learn a few words, and learn some skills, and start guaranteeing job placement, just like a modern technical secondary school, Su Jinru thought.
This allows girls from ordinary families to go to school.
One day, Su Jinru came to the Women's Imperial College and found Xie Anyun.
"Although the Imperial College for Women in the capital is now open, only wealthy families can attend. I want to allow girls from poor families to study as well."
Su Jinru took into consideration that for her daughter from a poor family, it would take a long time for her to study in the Imperial College, and families without money would definitely not let their children go to school.
“But education costs a lot of money, and we can’t afford to send all girls to school.
Although books are not as expensive as they used to be, it is still out of reach for ordinary families.”
Everyone has such great ideas, but human power is limited.
"I want to run a short-term school, with only three years of study, where they can learn some traditional crafts and be assigned jobs after graduation, so that they can support themselves after completing their studies."
Su Jinru and the emperor cooperated to open many factories. As more and more factories were opened, there were not enough staff.
This school can not only solve this problem, but also enable more people to read and write.
She will stay in this era for the rest of her life, and money is not that important to Su Jinru now. She hopes to make women of this era freer and live happily.
After all, I come from the modern era and can better understand the difficulties faced by women in this era. I hope they can break free from their shackles.
"That's certainly feasible, but for very poor families who don't value their daughters,
It's unlikely that he'll be able to go to school, since he still has to pay for school and make a living." Xie Anyun wasn't very optimistic.
"As for the money, I'll give it to you first. This school has a rule that children who enter the school will be provided with food and accommodation.
However, after one and a half years of study, students will go to the factory for internship.
The school can take one tenth of the funds received by students each month as expenses for the school until the students graduate."
Xie Anyun thought about it and thought it had great potential, so the two of them finalized the plan.
The next day, Su Jinru submitted a memorial to the emperor, informing him of the incident.
The emperor agreed.
