The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Chapter 312 Who knows that women can’t hold up half the sky?

On the second day after returning to Jiyang, Yan Dahu and others who were busy outside also came back.

Now they are busy in the silk dyeing and spinning, wine making and condiment workshops in Jiyang, with the seven of them, along with Han Beiwang, Liuyang, Liancheng and Hongda.

Prince Lin’s Mansion had a share of the profits from these shops, but in order to avoid suspicion, Princess Lin gave the indentures of all the people sent to the workshops to Chen.

Most of the white cloth woven by the Yan family's weaving mill is sold in Jiyang, and the profit is not high.

But Yan Hui and Yan Shi'an reorganized the Yan family caravan.

Now they also follow the Lu family's example and transport dyed cloth, white wine, hot pot base, etc. to other prefectures for sale.

This time they went to Beimingfu.

Han Beiwang heard that there was a small workshop in Beimingfu that could remove the fishy smell of wool, so he went to Beimingfu with the Yan father and son.

Lu Yanyan's eyes twitched slightly. Since she wanted to make cashmere products, she naturally had a way to remove the odor from the wool.

She asked Han Beiwang to collect the wool because she was angry for a moment.

After calming down, I realized that I was impulsive.

No matter what kind of person Han Beiwang was in his previous life, in this life, this child has grown into a very responsible young man, and she can no longer look at him with the old eyes.

Her team is now missing Lu Liang, but Han Beiwang is already able to work on his own, and with the help of Prince Lin's Mansion, he can do things more easily than when he was in Luocheng.

"I've been away for the past few months, thank you for your hard work."

"If it's not hard, how can making money be hard?"

Among the few people, Yan Dahu's voice was particularly loud.

Lan Niang is pregnant, and Yan Dahu is busy and happy, full of energy.

Among several shops, Yan Erhu and Lin Shan are in charge of the overall management.

Chang Fei and Tan Mu are responsible for technical issues, but they are now often seconded to the Baigong Institute by Li Jiren.

Yan Dahu and Wang Gui are responsible for processing management.

Li Dezhi, along with Han Beiwang, Liu Yang and others, was responsible for purchasing.

The Lu and Yan families are responsible for the sales.

Lu Yanyan looked at the account books. The workshops had just been opened not long ago and the profits were not high, but it could be seen that the trend was good.

Especially for liquor and hot pot base, the demand is particularly high when the weather is cold.

However, even in Jiyang, beef fat cannot be purchased in unlimited quantities. It seems that we have to research beef-free hot pot ingredients.

The grain production in Jiyang was low, and the people themselves did not have enough to eat. The sorghum, wheat, rice, etc. used for making wine were all transported by the Lu family from other prefectures.

Thinking of the slippery road on the way back, Lu Yanyan frowned...

Han Qingyun took the wine to Youlanyuan.

Liu Minghe was chatting with Qi Jingyu when he saw Han Qingyun and guessed his purpose.

"Qingyun is here. Go and persuade that stubborn donkey first, and then come over and play a couple of games with Jingyu."

Liu Minghe, who always had an immortal look, uttered the word "stubborn donkey", which made Han Qingyun's eyes curve.

Since he accepted a few students and came to Jiyang, Mr. Liu has become much more energetic.

When Guan Xueqin heard Han Qingyun coming, he subconsciously wanted to get up.

Xiaolu, the servant who was in charge of taking care of him, was about to help him up when Guan Xueqin lay down again.

When Han Qingyun walked in, he saw Guan Xueqin's somewhat aggrieved face.

Guan Xueqin didn't lie down anymore. He got out of bed and pulled Han Qingyun to sit down.

Guan Pengfei joined the army, and in Jiyang, Han Qingyun was Guan Xueqin's closest person.

Guan Xueqin was full of grievances and could only vent them to Han Qingyun.

Xiaolu walked out tactfully and closed the door.

"...Since we arrived in Jiyang, I haven't had a moment of rest. I've lost several pounds for the sake of school...

I agree with establishing a girls' school, but how can women be officials in this world? From ancient times to the present, how can such a thing be justified? Men should be responsible for the outside world, and women should be responsible for the inside world. That is the natural order.

The prince actually said that women can manage a county or a provincial capital like men. Isn't that like a hen crowing at dawn?

I work so hard in Jiyang, but for whom? I oppose, but for whom? ..."

Guan Xueqin felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke. During the few months he had been in Jiyang, on the one hand he felt sorry for the people of Jiyang, and on the other hand he was truly impressed by Prince Lin and his son.

"Brother Qingyun, do you believe that as long as the news that women from Beiji can take the imperial examination and become officials spreads, the backbones of the prince and the prince will be broken?

The words of a scholar are sharper than the swords of a warrior. By then, the entire Beiji Kingdom will be smeared to the point of discredit. A newly established country cannot withstand such turmoil.

And those women, as long as they dared to enter the imperial examination hall, all kinds of rumors would be poured on them like dirty water.

A woman's reputation is above all else. If they were to take the imperial examinations and hold official positions alongside men, the obscene words of the world would kill them..."

Guan Xueqin felt aggrieved and angry. He drank a few sips of wine resentfully and continued to complain.

Han Qingyun listened quietly without saying a word, occasionally adding some wine to his glass.

It wasn't until Guan Xueqin's mouth was dry and his anger was released that he felt much better.

He said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Qingyun, you've worked hard for several months to come back, and I didn't welcome you, and I even complained to you about my grievances."

Han Qingyun smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Xueqian, what do you think of Ziwei Academy?"

Guan Xueqian was stunned: "I am not opposed to women's academies. Ziwei Academy teaches girls to read and understand, and teaches them how to survive. This is very good."

Han Qingyun poured Guan Xueqin a glass of water.

"The establishment of Ziwei Academy was also controversial. Before Ziwei Academy, women had never been able to study in academies."

Many years ago, women were not even allowed to go to school. But people's minds change, and as long as you take the first step, someone will take the second step.

Many years ago, women were not allowed to study, do business, or even go out. They could only obey their fathers, husbands, and sons at home.

Brother Xueqian, do you think this is reasonable?"

Guan Xueqin pursed his lips and said nothing.

"The five great families have been passed down for over a thousand years, a history older than any other country. It is said that women's education began with the Xie family.

Xie Yunzhi's talent was renowned throughout the world. It wasn't until the Wenhui Tower competition that Xie Yunzhi's true identity became known.

The harsh criticism and abuse that the Xie family endured at that time forced the then head of the Xie family to live in seclusion in the mountains.

But eight hundred years later, it is no longer uncommon for women to study. Many women are even more talented and knowledgeable than men.

Whether they are from aristocratic families or ordinary people, they are all proud to have a talented woman in their family.

Over two hundred years ago, Empress Changsun, the wife of Emperor Xuanping, proposed establishing a girls' school. Memorials to the emperor's desk filled with them. Court officials lambasted Empress Changsun for her unscrupulous behavior, some even demanding her dethronement.

But now, Ziwei Academy has established itself in Luocheng with dignity, and the descendants of the court officials who scolded Empress Changsun in the past are now proud that their daughters have been admitted to Ziwei Academy."

Guan Xueqian was anxious: "That's different. Women study to gain knowledge, not to become officials."

“Why can’t women be officials?”

"From ancient times to the present, there has been no precedent for women serving as officials."

Han Qingyun patted the back of Guan Xueqin's hand.

"Brother Xueqian, women serving as officials is not about replacing men, but about shining in their respective areas of expertise and jointly promoting the prosperity and development of the country.

Men hold up the sky, so how can we say women can't hold up half the sky? Men's courage and perseverance, women's sensitivity and intelligence, are inherently complementary. Only when their wisdom is combined can this country become a better place.

Guan Xueqian was a little confused: "But..."

"Brother Xueqian, we should feel lucky to have followed such open-minded people as Prince Lin and the Crown Prince. They knew that making such a suggestion would lead to many difficulties and would be insulted by the world, but they still did it.

As officials of the royal palace and future officials of the Northern Ji State, we should support them, not stand against them and make them feel disappointed..."
