“Knowledge changes destiny. I hope everyone will actively respond to the Northern Territory College’s enrollment campaign.
Anyone who has participated in the construction of the Northern Border can study for free.
This opportunity only comes once, so I hope everyone doesn’t miss it.”
As soon as Xu Wenzhi finished speaking, the people began to talk.
"Ah? Can you still study at sixty?
Isn’t this bullshit?”
"Who says it's not? At such an old age, who can understand and still study?"
"Oh, if you don't learn, won't others learn too?
Don't underestimate our people in the north.
I'm going to sign up, just in case I can really read and count.
Then my life has not been lived in vain."
"Hey, now that you put it that way, it seems to make sense.
What if I'm actually a smart guy?
"Ah? Registration starts tomorrow?
I have three kids at home, so I have to go back and get ready."
At this time, a commoner jumped up and asked.
"Lord City Lord, can girls and women sign up?"
I heard this sentence.
Everyone looked at her. What a courageous girl.
They had never heard of girls being able to go to school.
So, they all looked at Xu Wenzhi again, waiting for his questions and answers.
Xu Wenzhi smiled and said gently.
“That’s a good question, girl!
In our northern region, women can sign up for studies.
Women can also rent a shop to do business.
After completing the training, women can also participate in discussions on important decisions in Northern City.
Therefore, anyone who wants to study can sign up at the college.
Welcome to Northland College!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some opposing voices emerged.
"How can this be? What's the point of women studying?
Women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children.
My daughters will not be allowed to study outside the home. They will be married off when they grow up anyway."
"Yeah, yeah, a woman reading? It's a joke.
How can they be compared with men?
My wife is only fit to do laundry and cook at home."
“This elder brother is right.
If women can both study and earn money, wouldn’t the status of men decline?
Will they still stay at home and take care of their husbands and children?
No, no, no."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Wenzhi and asked, "City Lord Xu, are you planning to cause chaos in the Northern Territory?"
Hearing these objections, Xu Wenzhi smiled.
Jiang Ling and Shen Yinyun also laughed.
Only cowards are afraid of their daughters and wives becoming powerful.
For Xu Wenzhi, a local, he was initially unable to accept the idea of women studying.
Later, Jiang Ling and Shen Yinyun repeatedly gave him examples to illustrate the importance of education for women.
He slowly accepted and understood it, and then thought it was really good.
Since ancient times, men have been responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs.
Men are the head of the family and naturally bear the responsibility of supporting the family.
Women are symbols of weakness.
They can only do some light work, such as washing clothes, cooking, taking care of their husbands and children.
In this way, they become dependent in the eyes of men.
Many times, they have no say in the family.
Some men take it out on them when they are upset outside.
However, I heard Master Shen and the Lord talk about many examples of women who strive for self-improvement.
It also made him suddenly realize that women were not dependent on anyone.
In addition to giving birth to children, they also take care of their husbands and raise their children.
There are many other things you can do.
They can earn money to support their families just as well as men.
Moreover, women studying does not necessarily mean they have to compete with men for status in the family.
After women have studied, they can better support their husbands and raise their children.
The energy transmitted is different.
They don't need scientific examinations in the north.
However, we don’t want the whole city to be illiterate.
So, Xu Wenzhi thought about this matter all night and went to discuss it in detail with his wife.
I figured it out immediately and I strongly support women's education.
He did not get angry when he heard these objections.
Opposition is essential for any reform or innovation.
He accepts any opposition.
But never compromise.
So, he answered the man's question with a smile.
"This city lord does not quite understand what this brother said.
Why would the North be in chaos if women were to study?
In your eyes, is this woman a tiger or a very evil person?
So, how were you born and how did you grow up?
The city lord wants to tell you clearly to everyone present.
Women are great.
They play a vital role in giving birth to children, supporting their husbands and raising their children.
This city lord believes that women should first study and understand the truth, and then they can better support their husbands and raise children.
After all, a harmonious family brings prosperity!
Of course, whether each family is willing to let their daughters go to school is their business.
This city lord will not get involved in family affairs.
This city lord just wants to express his attitude, which is:
In the North, women, like men, can study, do business and earn money to support their families.
You only have one chance, don’t miss it.”
After Xu Wenzhi finished speaking, he turned and left.
What remains is the people's confusion, bewilderment and determination.
Anyway, there are many different postures.
Xu Wenzhi returned to the office and sat on the chair.
Became lost in thought.
He knew that the proposal for girls to study might be opposed by some families.
There might be some commotion for a while.
But he knew.
From ancient times to the present, no matter how bold the proposal is, there will always be people who support it and people who oppose it.
