Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

However, Sheng Changan looked at Ye Ru and asked, "Do you know the Yuan family?"

Ye Ru nodded. "Grandfather once mentioned it."

Sheng Changan was a little curious. There wasn't much he could find out about the Yuan family. "What did Old Master Ye say?"

Ye Ru hesitated to speak, "They say...the Yuan family is a troublemaker." It was the first time she saw such an elegant grandfather swearing, so the memory of it was particularly deep.

Sheng Changan was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Old Master Ye is...quite straightforward." But, why doesn't it count?

As long as there are troubled times, there will be the Yuan family. It can only be said that they retreated quickly every time, and no one knew where they lived exactly. In addition, the Yuan family’s reputation was not low, which allowed them to survive to this day.

Ye Ru smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to respond.

Li Hui could not stay here for long, so she came here specially to say goodbye. She knew that the adults valued Ye Ru, so she brought her here this time.

As for Li Dashan, he was organizing his troops so that they could set off at any time.

After a few days of recuperation, Sheng Changan's complexion had recovered a lot. Occasionally, he could sit in a wheelchair and go out for a walk. Sheng Changan asked them to sit down. "What do you think of the status of women in Guangping now? Is it comparable to that of men?"

Li Hui thought about it and said, "The difference is not big."

Sheng Changan's lips curled up, it was good that she could notice it. "Then there is still a gap." She sighed. "In my opinion, it is just a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror, a fleeting bloom."

"For this Spring Boudoir event, I've counted all the applicants. Nearly a thousand people signed up, but only about thirty women showed up. Only a handful made it to the final round."

Sheng Changan looked at Li Hui and said, "Do you know why I insisted on setting up a female barracks? Obviously, the battlefield is more suitable for men, isn't it?"

She turned her gaze back, her eyes unclear. "I hope that no matter where it is, whether it's the court or the military camp, women must occupy half of the important places."

"When that day comes, we will be closest to true gender equality. Don't be a chess piece in their hands, but become the chess player."

"No man can truly empathize with a woman. They may sympathize and feel pity, but they won't truly understand."

“Only when you are a woman yourself can you understand the difficulties women face and speak up for them.”

"But I can't achieve this alone, nor can two people. I also don't want the laws of gender equality that I established to slowly disappear after I'm gone."

"I can guarantee that it won't happen while I'm here, but in the future, it might become like this again, or even worse."

Sheng Changan's eyes were long and his tone was firm, "You must step out, walk up to them, and share power with them. Why can't women be officials, why can't they be generals, why can't they establish their own families?"

"But these things need someone to take the lead. It can't be just one or two people, but a group. We should take control of our own destiny."

Ye Ru listened attentively. Her grandfather had also said, "Why isn't A Ru a man?" But why can't a woman be a man? That's what she thought at the time.

But why did it stop later? It was because those people humiliated her over and over again, shattering her self-esteem.

It was also at this time that she began to place her hopes on others, hoping that someone would come to rescue her, and then the adults appeared.

She was both envious and afraid. When she felt a slight pain in the palm of her hand, she slowly came to her senses. She thought that maybe she could realize her once naive idea.

Li Hui was stunned. She hadn't actually thought about it so much, but her blood seemed to start boiling inexplicably.

"When I get back, I will hold a competition. Except for you three, everyone else can participate. I hope that at least three of the top ten will be women," Sheng Changan smiled lightly.

"This is the best opportunity." Even though discrimination against women is not common in Guangping County, it does exist.

"The ring match is not limited to men or women, and there is no limit on positions, which means that anyone can participate" can also be watched.

Li Hui clenched his fists and said solemnly, "Sir, this is a guarantee. We will occupy half of the top ten."

Sheng Changan raised his eyes slightly and said, "Let's wait and see."
