Chapter 68: No one can return home until the law is completely changed



"Also, why is it that women in our dynasty can only return to their parents' home once a year?"

"And the woman's dowry belongs to the man from the moment she marries him. Doesn't that mean a man can become wealthy every time he marries a wife?"

"Why is it that my dynasty has no restrictions on men taking concubines or keeping mistresses? Everyone cries poor before me, yet they keep more women than I do."

"Do you need me to add anything else?"

[Wow, I have to look at Emperor Dad differently. Emperor Dad has made sufficient preparations.]

[The scholar next to him actually had thirteen concubines and gave birth to almost twenty children, but he still wasn't satisfied and even kept a mistress outside.]

[No wonder he had the money to support so many children. He was an invigilator almost every year, accepting a lot of bribes and turning a blind eye in the exam room.]

[Ah, that's why we need to conduct a background check, a background investigation, so that we can know whether it is a human or a ghost.]

Qin Yuanhao silently memorized the new words in his heart and wrote them down in his little notebook when he returned.

"Today, you will be here to work with me to revise the laws of the Qin Dynasty."

"I believe that with so many officials here, and with this manuscript of mine, we will be able to complete this work before sunset."

"Otherwise, the imperial court would spend so much money every year to support you, right?"

After Qin Yuanhao's speech, all the officials in the Hanlin Academy were speechless.

[The Emperor is so handsome today. Hey, my power of faith has increased again. I guess those kids have a sense of belonging to the Great Qin.]

【very nice. 】

"Your Majesty, I will take the little princess to take a nap."

The Concubine Chen was standing outside. Seeing Qin Zhenzhen yawning several times in succession, she took the opportunity when His Majesty paused to quickly step forward and speak.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in political affairs. It is already against the rules for His Majesty to take the little princess away, and this Concubine Chen also came along.

All the officials below looked at the Concubine Chen in shock.

Moreover, His Majesty was speaking when Empress Chen interrupted him. Isn't this a punishment?

His Majesty, who had just been scolding them majestically, now gently handed the little princess to Empress Chenfei, and even his voice became softer.

"Take Zhenzhen to the carriage, and you should take a rest too. I'm here."

The officials opened their mouths wide, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

The next second, His Majesty's voice came again.

"Still watching? Why don't you start organizing the laws quickly? Do you really think I have time to watch you every day?"

"By the way, where are the names of those people who just registered?"

"Send three people to formulate educational laws. If you don't know how to write them, look them up in the book in the scholar's hand. If you still don't understand, come and ask me again."

"Most importantly, children aged seven and above, regardless of gender, must attend school and be stratified according to the first and second levels."

The first scholar from the Hanlin Academy to disagree was, "Your Majesty, how can women be admitted to school? Isn't this a disgrace to the culture and a disgrace to the Saint?"

Qin Yuanhao took a deep breath and said, "How can you have the nerve to say such things?"

"Do you know why I brought Consort Chen with me?"

"It's because Concubine Chen is much stronger than you men. She created a crossbow chariot for our Great Qin, which can fire sixty arrows continuously. Tell me, does our Great Qin have such a capable person?"

"I also know that there is a female teacher in Jiangnan who is dedicated to teaching children to read. However, due to her gender, she will never be able to take the imperial examinations."

"I don't want talented people to be hindered from advancing because of their gender."

He also didn't want these things to become a constraint for the little princess when she grew up.

He wanted to change Daqin and even other countries before the little princess grew up.

Create a carefree country without any constraints for the little princess.

Let her know that reincarnation into the Qin Dynasty is the right choice.

Seeing that the officials wanted to speak, Qin Yuanhao quickly said, "It's not that I don't know about your past affairs, but I'm just too lazy to talk about them."

"And now, you just need to do what I ask. Even if the historian wants to scold me, it will be me who is scolded, not you."

Seeing that His Majesty was determined, everyone could only suppress their thoughts, sit back in their seats and start studying the law.

During this period, Qin Yuanhao had countless quarrels with the officials of the Hanlin Academy.

On this side, Qin Zhenzhen had a good sleep after eating and drinking her fill.

When Liusu saw that she had woken up, she quickly carried her out of the carriage and sent her to Chen Fei.

Watching from afar, Concubine Chen was surrounded by a group of children. They listened to her deconstructing words and watched her write words in the mud.

He didn't pay any attention to Qin Zhenzhen's approach.

[Wow, Mom is amazing! This traditional Chinese character was so hard for me to recognize, but now that Mom explains it, it seems so easy!]

[Mother is a natural teacher. If Mother could come to the academy to teach, I believe they would be very happy.]

Chen Fei looked at the words written on the mud, and began to think about what her daughter said about movable type printing, and unconsciously reached out her hand to the piece of mud on the ground.

"Empress, this mud is dirty." The girl Wan shouted in surprise when she saw Concubine Chen playing with mud.

She didn't expect that the empress in the palace also liked to play in the mud.

But playing in the mud is very dirty. The last time she played in the mud, her clothes got dirty, which made her feel sad for a long time.

Concubine Chen pursed her lips and chuckled, "It's okay, this mud has many uses."

"Let me tell you, mud isn't just for playing around with. It can also be used to build basic mud houses. Everything has its own uses. It all depends on how you use it..."

The children who were originally practicing calligraphy were attracted again by Chen Fei's words.

They had all experienced abandonment and wandering, and had a natural respect for knowledge. They also understood that only by studying hard could they have the opportunity to repay the empress and the little princess in front of them.

In the end, even Qin Zhenzhen was attracted by Chen Fei's words.

When Concubine Chen finished speaking, everyone discovered that the mud in her hand had turned into a seal, and she had engraved some words on it.

"This character is similar to the character Qin we just learned, but why is it different?" Ergouzi looked at the thing above with a confused look on his face.

"You are stupid! This word is wrong, it is written upside down. Why don't you turn it upside down?" Seeing that Chen Fei did not stop her, Maru Ya directly turned the word upside down.

"Hey, why is it still different?"

"How can I turn it into the character Qin?"

The Concubine Chen did not intervene, and the children were discussing there until one of them accidentally spilled water on it, and the small seal was knocked off onto a leaf.

A word "Qin" was printed on the leaf.

"Wow, the kids are amazing. They actually created the word 'Qin'. Are there any other words that can be created this way?" Concubine Chen showed the small seal she had prepared behind her.

"I want to try it."

"I want to, too."

Soon, the other children started playing with mud stamps and gained a deeper understanding of the characters they had learned today.

[My dear mother, is it too magical that it can be printed out like this? ]
