In Gu Si's opinion, it was wrong not to let the girl go to school.
Many girls are even smarter than boys!
His second uncle said that if his third sister went to school, she could also pass the imperial examinations and achieve academic success, and her achievements might not be lower than his fourth brother's.
Unfortunately, in their Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no precedent for women taking the imperial examinations.
Not to mention the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no precedent for this even going back to before the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Women were not only forbidden from taking the imperial examinations, but also from attending school. Most literate girls were either from families with older or younger brothers who were studying, or from families with good financial means that hired female tutors to teach them at home.
Gu Si was very envious of the Goddess Kingdom!
In the Goddess Kingdom, although women are revered, as long as you have money, schools will also allow men to enroll. In terms of education, the Goddess Kingdom does not distinguish between men and women.
The court of the Goddess Kingdom is mostly staffed by women, but there are also men who have risen through the ranks by passing the imperial examinations, though they are few in number!
"I think this is a good idea." Gu Yingxue was originally from the modern era, where men and women are equal. As long as you have the talent, you can study.
Moreover, the population of the Flowing Sand Kingdom is indeed small, unlike that of the Great Zhou. If all the children in the Great Zhou were to attend school, it would certainly be impossible.
However, this problem does not exist in Liusha. In Liusha, as long as you have the ability, both men and women can become officials and do whatever they want.
Gu Yingxue took out paper and pen and wrote down Gu Nian, Gu Xin, and Gu Si's suggestions.
"It seems that in a few years, the most powerful country in the West will be the Flowing Sand Kingdom. There's no way around it, they have a princess who is devoted to the country and its people!" Gu Hui joked.
"Big sister, I'm standing with Brother Jin. I'll do everything in my power to help, even if it's hard work! Besides, I want Brother Jin, Brother Yun, and I to have a better life!" Gu Yingxue answered frankly.
“I suspect that, Xue’er, you’ll definitely be the Queen within a year!” Gu Yingxue said.
"Why? Uncle Jun is in good health!" Gu Yingxue was taken aback, then asked.
“My uncle is in good health, but he has a playful heart! I noticed it the last time we met. He gets along really well with my eldest uncle, my father-in-law, and Uncle Kang. Tell me, if someone can get along with them, are they focused on their career? They must be going wherever it’s fun! My eldest uncle has complained about my father-in-law and Uncle Kang so many times, and he even secretly cursed the emperor for being inhuman, saying that he can’t have fun himself and wants to keep him locked up in the capital so he can’t go out to play!” Gu Nian said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, sister is right. Father has this plan. Now that Uncle Xue and Uncle Kang have gone to the Western Lands, they'll probably be left there to play. If brother goes back, Father won't have to worry about anything. When brother comes to the Great Zhou next year to marry you, Xue'er, Father can abdicate directly to brother. Brother even wanted Father to choose someone from the Dugu lineage of the Goddess Kingdom, but Father doesn't want that. How can the princes of the Goddess Kingdom be as reliable as the princes he's carefully nurtured for years? So, Xue'er, if you marry there, you won't be a princess for long before becoming a queen.” Gu Xin strongly agreed with Gu Nian's statement.
She knew the Sand King too well. The Sand King and Queen Dugu were twins, and they were the same in that they liked to play around. It was just that Queen Dugu was more irritable and the Sand King was more gentle.
