Jizhou already had a textile workshop of the Ministry of Commerce, and the textile workshop was full of female workers, a large number of female workers.
Yan Shiyue thought of asking the Queen to select a few female officials to teach these female workers how to read.
For example, if you take out half an hour every day, or half an hour every two days, without deducting any wages or charging any money, you can use the "public" time to study your own knowledge. No one should object to this, right?
Then, after the queen takes action, she can follow suit and do the same to the people from Yuefang and Mengji.
This is a weather vane. I hope someone will follow it. If not, I will find another way.
You know, this time, if Qi Yunduan hadn't been trying to hook so many people, and the veil and the hat hadn't been a big problem, there might not have been any women who complained. In that case, even with Xu Liuyuan, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
She always wondered, what if this person was an old lady of high moral character? What if the old lady really thought that this was better for women? In that case, she wanted to overturn this matter and break this shackle that might harm her for a thousand years, but she was afraid that even the emperor and empress would not help her.
So, what should women of this era be taught, besides the teachings for women, so that they can be accepted by the general public?
Women hold up half the sky? That's a joke.
Self-respect, self-love, self-reliance and self-improvement? Can you live without relying on men? It does not conform to mainstream values, and I am afraid that only one in ten thousand people can do it.
...
...
It wasn't until she saw dumplings and rice cakes that she had an idea.
She is so stupid!
For women of this era, besides their husbands, their children are their main concern. Moreover, this direction is also in line with the general social environment. If they can get support from their family, elders, and husbands, they will be strong as mothers!
Everything else can be hidden under this major theme, striving to achieve the effect of "being the best version of yourself for your children" and saving the country in a roundabout way.
Moreover, she thought that it would be best if this was written and spread to the world in the name of the queen. Firstly, the queen's background was easily criticized, and having such a thing could improve her reputation. Secondly, it would be more convincing if the queen came forward. After all, her image to the outside world was not that of a good wife and mother.
So she wrote with extra caution.
At this time, the effect of her hard study during the previous period was reflected. At least when she wanted to look up some information, she knew what to look up, instead of having to use only modern knowledge and text structures.
But this is not a one-time achievement.
Moreover, she is the kind of person who likes to create alone. She doesn't like to discuss with others before finishing her work, nor does she like others to read it. She just finishes it in one go and then presents it to others.
Emperor Ming Yan had no idea what she was writing, so he just laughed and teased her: "My Yue'er not only wants to monopolize people's food, clothing, shelter and transportation, but now even takes over people's thoughts!"
Yan Shiyue sighed: "I used to do things with a strong utilitarianism. I know the importance of public opinion and how to guide it, but I was more concerned about paving the way for my own goals rather than doing something for them."
She stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed to hold the position of Prime Minister."
Emperor Mingyan smiled and patted her shoulder: "Take your time. My Yue'er will become a famous prime minister throughout the ages."
She said: "Then Yue'er's father will also be a wise ruler throughout the ages."
Emperor Ming Yan smiled but said nothing.
After the father and daughter had a sincere business exchange, they were both in a very happy mood.
But Qi Yunduan's mood was not so good.
After the emperor left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but after being beaten with a stick, she lay on the couch, thinking about her grandmother who was executed for "spreading evil words to confuse the people", and then thinking about the future...
The children outside have been making a lot of noise and yelling non-stop. In the past, Madam Qi had a reputation as a virtuous woman and could control them, but now... I heard that even the clan members came yesterday and wanted to take over the Qi family's property and these children. They were not at ease letting Madam Qi raise them.
What are you worried about? It's nothing but someone plotting to get your wealth!
But they had no way out.
Qi Yunduan's tears fell on the pillow drop by drop. She just wanted to plan something for herself, so why did she force her like this? These nobles really don't take human life seriously!
At this moment, someone outside suddenly said, "The Second Young Master is here!"
Qi Yunduan was startled and hurriedly tidied his clothes and hair.
The second young master refers to Liu Ziwei, the second son of Governor Liu. This time, although the academy was closed, Governor Liu was not demoted. The subsequent performance evaluation is a matter for the future. Anyway, for now, he is still the governor.
Originally, Liu Ziwei was not the best choice, but at this point, he has become the best choice!
But... she was afraid that she could no longer be the legal wife.
But even if she becomes a concubine, she is confident that she can win his heart just by relying on her beauty and the skills taught by her grandmother!
So when Liu Ziwei came in, she lay on the pillow, gave him a pitiful smile, and said softly, "Erlang."
Liu Ziwei sneered.
He was also a well-educated man, and was well-known for his talent in the local area. He was also infatuated with her beauty when he caught a glimpse of her when her veil slipped down... But all his admiration turned into anger when the truth was revealed!
I was angry at myself for not being able to see through such a shabby scheme and for being deceived by appearances!
I began to have doubts in my mind, and when I thought back to the past, I saw loopholes everywhere.
Every time he came before, Madam Qi was always "just" busy and didn't even have time to serve tea... He was young and in love with her then, and he only felt pity for her poor family, but was also happy to spend more time with his sweetheart. But now think about it, he is a stranger, and he stays alone with her like this, and his family doesn't even stop him. How the hell is this chastity and virtue?
Liu Ziwei sat down in front of the couch and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Qi Yunduan lowered her eyes, and said weakly: "It's okay." As she spoke, her eyelashes trembled and tears fell.
Liu Ziwei was so annoyed that he simply stopped wasting time and said directly, "I'll be your matchmaker. The young master of the Sun family in East Street has just divorced his wife. He likes people like you the most. You can marry him!"
Qi Yunduan was shocked and looked up at him suddenly.
Yan Shiyue arranged two divorces: one was Zhou's leaving with her aunt, and the other was Zhao's.
But Zhou's ex-husband could be arrested because he was involved in a murder, but Zhao's husband... was cruel and beat his wife, daughter, and maids all over their bodies, but in this era, this was not a crime! So they just divorced.
But the news spread widely, and everyone said that no one would dare to marry their daughter there again.
But Liu Ziwei actually wanted her to marry him? Didn't he...didn't he want to marry her? Those sweet words were still ringing in his ears, but had he forgotten them? Didn't he even want a concubine?
She looked at him in disbelief.
Liu Ziwei sneered: "The Qi family has already agreed, and the bride will be welcomed in a few days..." He gently stroked his clothes, meaningfully: "After all, you are 'Mr. Qi', even if others don't know the "Female Prohibitions", you should implement them. Then you and your wife will be in harmony. I congratulate you in advance!"
He stood up and left.
Qi Yunduan screamed, "Erlang! Erlang! I won't!"
She suddenly rushed over and tried to pull him, but Liu Ziwei had already left like a flash.
Now there are still a few days before the wedding. If she is really a person of integrity, she can commit suicide! Otherwise, just bear it! This is what she deserves!
