The newly enthroned Emperor Qianyuan -- that's right, this is Fu Siyan's current emperor name. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne, the first order related to national policy was not about taxes, not about soldiers, not about the deployment of frontiers, or about the dispatch of courtiers, but about the establishment of women's schools.

Even if this measure displeased many of the ruling class, however, no matter how big their opinions were, these people could only remain silent throughout the whole process, and did not dare to oppose Emperor Qianyuan, whose style and methods were quite similar to those of Emperor Longyuan.

Because Emperor Qianyuan's methods were too tough and his attitude was too resolute, the women's school in the capital was quickly set up.

At the same time, news of the establishment of a girls' school spread rapidly throughout the Daishin Dynasty, centered in Kyoto.

It is said that in Luzhou, the closest to Kyoto, the preparation of a women's school has also been put on the agenda, and even the teachers of the women's school have been summoned, and it seems that in a few days they can start recruiting new students.

Luzhou is the hometown of Daxin Wensheng, and the literary style has always been strong. Not only are men reading poetry and books here, but even women are all temperamental, and they can casually tell the idle stories of the ancient sages.

The speed and enthusiasm of Luzhou to set up a women's school are no less than those in Kyoto, and even the time for them to recruit new students is a few days earlier than in the capital.

After Ning Xiguang heard the news, he couldn't help but say to Fu Siyan, "Look, you can see many things from the speed of setting up a women's school in one place. ”

"What do you see?"

"For example, the literary style of Luzhou is really strong, the folk customs of Luzhou are relatively open, and the officials of Luzhou are more supportive of you, the new emperor, so they are very obedient to the orders issued by you, and actively implement them as soon as possible......"

Ning Xiguang casually said a few pieces of information, and at the end, he felt that what he said was very insightful, so he only nodded deeply, and then couldn't help but laugh.

Fu Siyan couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, rubbed her long black hair, and said, "Now that the women's school in Luzhou has begun to recruit new students, how is the women's school in Kyoto being prepared?"

As soon as he got down to business, Ning Xiguang didn't hang on Fu Siyan like a sloth. She sat up straight and replied in a serious manner, "It's almost ready." There is a ready-made school building, and you should know that I chose the girls' school of Castle Peak College as the new school site. Earlier, Castle Peak College was a boys' school and a girls' school, but in the past 100 years, due to policy, the girls' school was banned, but the girls' school site of Castle Peak Academy is still preserved. Although the church house is a little rudimentary, it is almost in good condition now. ”

-- Fu Siyan handed over the preparation of the Kyoto Women's School to Ning Xiguang for coordination, and also allocated two ministers to help her.

Because this was the first thing she had proposed—of course, the secret was only known to the husband and wife, and not to others.

Ning Xiguang thinks that he is a "low-key" person, and he doesn't want to be too showy, and he doesn't want to be the target of some people's attacks, so let the marshal bear the title of the initiator of the women's study.

However, Ning Xiguang has long had systematic ideas in his heart about the future development of women's schools and the current construction.

She originally wanted to rebuild the school, but considering the inconvenience and waste of time in the later period, she finally decided to choose the girls' school of Aoyama Academy as the site of the new girls' school.

First, it is naturally because it was the site of the girls' school earlier, and it is very well equipped, not only covering a vast area and beautiful scenery, but also the most exciting thing for her is that the layout is very reasonable.

The second reason is that Aoyama Girls' School is close to Castle Peak Boys' School. A hundred years ago, Castle Peak College had a very systematic and complete management of boys' and girls' schools, and her past experience can be used as a reference.

There is a lot of exchange between the students of the two colleges, and there are frequent competitions, which will be more conducive to the boys' students to quickly accept the existence of the girls' school, and at the same time, it will also facilitate the girls' integration into school life in a shorter time.

There is also a third reason, that is, Castle Peak Academy is a prestigious academy in Daxin, ranking among the best among all the colleges in Daxin. Although there are many pedantic and retired officials in Castle Peak Academy, many of them are pedantic and reject girls' schools, but more are people of high moral and respected character who understand things and have clear minds.

Ning Xiguang doesn't plan to give up such good resources, she is also going to take advantage of the geographical proximity to let these Confucian people go to teach classes to the girls of the girls' school every now and then.

All in all, it is quite convenient to choose Castle Peak Girls' School as the school site.

Of course, because the reopening of girls' schools after a hundred years will definitely make the students of boys' schools unaccustomed to it. There must have been a lot of disputes at the beginning, but I believe that as long as the initial period of running-in has passed, the development of girls' schools will be more rapid after that.

Ning Xiguang told Fu Siyan about these one by one, and then said, "The teaching master is almost all searched, and they are all on the job after the assessment." ”

She said proudly, "These teachers are all rich in experience, no matter who they are, they have two brushes in their hands." Among them, there are several professors whose identities are quite special, they are the eldest lady of the Duanguo Mansion, the county lord of Prince Wu's Mansion, and there is one with a higher status, you will definitely not guess, that is the eldest princess of Taihe, your aunt. ”

Fu Siyan was not interested in this, but said casually: "As long as you think it is suitable, you can do it." ”

"Well, that's all that's left for admissions now. Ning Xiguang said worriedly: "I originally wanted to build a girls' school that all girls in Kyoto can attend, but unfortunately, this is a matter of course." Those who can go to Qingshan College are the children of officials, and this is true of boys' schools, and the same is naturally true of girls' schools. In addition, this girls' school is supervised by me personally, and there are duchesses, county lords, and eldest princesses as teachers, so there must be a lot of Kyoto officials and nobles who have signed up for reference. Even if a civilian woman came to sign up and was lucky enough to be admitted, the vast majority of the students in the girls' school must be noble daughters of officials, and they will definitely not fit in it, and they will be excluded and bullied. ”

"It's not good to come here to study, but in the end you come here to suffer. Therefore, after thinking about it, I decided to build Qingshan Girls' School into a city aristocratic school, as the name suggests, it is only for the enrollment of noble girls from official families above the sixth grade. As for those folk women, I think that there will be a number of girls' schools in the folk in the near future, and they will learn a lot after they enter the school and devote themselves to studying. ”

In fact, in this way, it is still too unfair to those daughters from ordinary families. Just because of his birth, he was excluded, which really makes people resentful.

But the status quo is like this, and it can't be changed overnight. All she can do now is to give those girls who are studying in ordinary girls' schools a chance to climb up.

She added, "Of course, if a student with very good grades in the folk girls' school has a very good score, after the assessment, he can enter the Qingshan Girls' School." The quota is limited to five. I think that the girl who is the best in the rest of the schools, whether it is mental or ability, should be good, and it should be enough to protect herself in Aoyama Girls' School. ”

*

Under Ning Xiguang's perfect plan, Qingshan Girls' School finally began to recruit for the exam.

As the most powerful concubine Zhao Gui Niangniang in Emperor Qianyuan's harem, and also the woman that Emperor Qianyuan put in the palm of his hand and guarded as an eyeball, Ning Xiguang naturally would not attend the invigilation, but after the results of the examination in the girls' school came out, Ning Xiguang asked the marshal to agree and personally went to the girls' school to give a speech.

Her speech was too simple, and she summed it up in one sentence: if you have the ability, you will study hard, and if you learn it, your way out will come.

As for what way out these female students had, Ning Xiguang gave them a little mention.

One of them is to enter the palace as a female official. The female officials here do not refer to the female officials who manage the low-level palace maids, train the low-level palace maids, and protect the prince and princess; It does not refer to the female officials who serve in the six Shang Bureaus and the 24 Divisions such as the Shangguan Bureau, the Shangyi Bureau, the Shangfu Bureau, the Shangshi Bureau, the Shanggong Bureau, and the Shangzhu Bureau, and manage the harem, but specifically refers to the female officials who work beside the queen or concubine and act as their assistant and secret arts.

Of course, some of the nobles of the state government, or the county lord, the county lord and the like, or the concubines of officials, must disdain to serve the concubine. But it doesn't matter, there are many concubines of official families, or good daughters of low official positions of their fathers, who want to find a great future for themselves, so they want to work beside the queen and the concubine. If this is the blue eyes of the queen and the concubine and is given marriage, it will definitely be better than the future arranged for him by his parents at home.

The second is to revise history. There are many books in the palace that are read by young women's dependents, and if they are repaired neatly, it will also be a great achievement. From this point of view, this work is similar to the editing of the Hanlin Academy, the difference is only that the officials of the Hanlin Academy take the Yulu of the imperial court, and they take the Yulu issued by the noble concubine. But no matter what, the female officials who cultivate history in the palace also have grades, and this job is also very good, isn't it?

Another one, after completing the course, after passing the assessment, can teach at Castle Peak College. Compared with the first two, this future is not too prominent, but it is also good. After all, the work of teaching and educating people has always belonged to the Qingliu faction, and he has always been respected as a teacher.

And Qingshan Academy, whether it is a student or a teacher, the identity is not simple, if you teach here, it is also a very long-faced thing, I think that even if you get married in the future, there is such a decent job, and you will be very valued in your in-law's family.

Ning Xiguang put these prospects on the table one by one, and those little girls were excited.

Of course, there is a very ambitious future, Ning Xiguang did not say it, but he also hinted at it slightly. That is, according to His Majesty's emphasis on women's studies and his efforts to improve the status of women, there may be a time when the imperial imperial examination will also be used as a reference for women.

When the time comes, women will be admitted to the court as officials through the imperial examination, and this will be ......

Among these female students, there are many who have bright eyes and hearts, and are well versed in words and the way of observing words and feelings.

Ning Xiguang immediately found several noble ladies from noble families, their eyes were as bright as stars, and they looked at her with surprise.

Ning Xiguang felt happy in his heart.

That's right.

Who said that a daughter's family can't be ambitious?

It is precisely because of being a daughter's family that you should be more ambitious.

It is said that relying on the mountains and mountains to fall, relying on the water to run, women can only rely on themselves, only when they are strong, can they really stand up.

Besides, if they really catch up with the good times, they study hard and are lucky enough to enter the court as officials, maybe they will be recorded in the historical records and passed down through the ages.

Because there is a great future hanging in front of them, the enthusiasm and initiative of female students to study after entering the school are very high.

And because of their enrollment, the students of the nearby Qingshan Boys' School felt that the activity space was compressed, and they had a lot of complaints about them, and it was inevitable that the two parties would quarrel.

The good thing is that both male and female students are from extraordinary backgrounds and are well educated.

Their words and deeds are very reserved, elegant, and restrained, so there is no such thing as openly tearing their faces and fighting in public. At most, they were sarcastic to each other, and then everyone unanimously decided to fight it out on the field.

That's right, because of the constant friction between the boys' school and the girls' school, the two schools soon started various competitions.

In terms of schoolwork, the boys can be said to completely crush the girls students. After all, the coursework mainly studies a subset of classics and history, and the boys have been learning these things since they were young in order to participate in the imperial examination, and it has been one or two decades now. In addition to some of the female students' family backgrounds, some even began to learn these things after entering school, and it was completely expected that they were hung and beaten by boys.

However, in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, girls can be equal to boys' school students, and even slightly inferior in a certain item.

In terms of riding and archery, girls are naturally still inferior to boys' students. But there are also exceptions, that is, among the female students, there are two girls from the general's mansion. They were originally rough and rough, and they were rejected by those delicate nobles, but they all practiced archery all year round, and at this time they showed their ability.

It can be said that these two girls are simply a clear stream in the girls' school, one rides a horse and shoots arrows as fast as the wind, the other has infinite manpower, and the archer is like a hundred shots, which is simply abusing most of the boys.

Of course, because only these two girls were good at riding and shooting, in the end, the girls still lost to the boys, but anyway, it wasn't too ugly to lose, and the face was gone.

Then there is the assessment of astronomy, the art of war, mathematics and handymanship, etc., and after one item, the girls lose more and win less, and they are not very happy.

However, this is all to be expected.

In the end, the girls were left far behind by the boys with a score of 30 points lower than the boys' total score, and they couldn't help but hang their heads.

But after being encouraged by the instructors, the girls not only did not lose down, but their fighting spirit was higher, and they devoted themselves to learning with more enthusiasm and spirit, hoping that the competition after a month could make progress, and it was best to surpass the boys.

The motivation of the girls to study is very high, which makes the pressure on the boys' school students increase sharply.

They themselves were still immersed in the pleasure of winning the girls school students last time, however, they were beaten by the masters one by one, and they all understood that they won the girls this time, but the battle was that they had studied longer than them and had been enrolled for a long time.

Now the girls are fighting hard and pursuing bravely, and the boys are still immersed in the joy of winning the girls, which is the rhythm that will be overtaken sooner or later.

The boys were tightened, and their enthusiasm for learning was unprecedentedly high.
