One day last year, Tianqi happened to hear that a palace maid was homesick, and she decided to change the palace maid's lifelong system with a kind heart. After an extensive investigation, she wanted to turn the court into a girls' school for training talents, and the queen also impulsively appointed herself as the president of the Women's Federation. Apocalypse is a serious person, knowing that if you want to do things, you have to think long-term, in order to let the trained palace maids be able to stand on their own feet after returning to their hometowns, Apocalypse promised to give them certain official positions ♀ when they return to their hometowns, one is to let them have a certain income and not have difficulties in life, and the other consideration is to facilitate the use of these people who have skills.

Seeing that the queen mentioned this matter in her words, Tianqi nodded and said: "A while ago, a lot of people were sent from all over the country, and they recruited a large number ∞of people in the local area according to the will of the imperial court to enrich the prefectures and counties. Anyway, the Government Council has decided to set aside a part of the tax revenue for these people to pay them. ”

The queen thought for a while and said: "The concubines are willing to think that more than 500 people are embarrassed by the bad arrangement, and it seems that it is not enough after the emperor said this, every prefecture and county needs a female official, so are you afraid of thousands of people?" ”

Tianqi said: "If there are not enough people, they can continue to train, but they are not taking benefits for nothing, otherwise this system will not last long." ”

The queen asked, "What is the emperor going to let them do?" ”

Tianqi said: "First abolish the bad habit of foot binding, then set up a women's school and a female doctor, organize the establishment of a weaving workshop and an embroidery workshop, so that every woman in the family can also be literate and rational to do things and earn money, and finally realize equality between men and women." ”

The queen frowned and said: "The emperor's idea is very good, I'm afraid it will not be easy to do it well, not to mention whether the female doctor and female student can be done, it will be difficult to abolish the foot binding alone." ”

Sanang said at this time: "The emperor has a good idea, except for Wei Xiaolan and I, who have never been entangled in our feet, everyone else has been entangled, and it is so hard to see them walking and doing things." However, the queen mother has a point, the world's female ** has more foot binding, and it is difficult to ask everyone not to be entangled. ”

Seeing that Chunying also opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, Tianqi asked her kindly, "What do you want to say?" To agree or not to agree to foot binding? ”

Chunying said: "No woman likes to bind her feet, I still remember the scene when I was in pain when I tied my feet, but the custom in our hometown is that women must bind their feet, otherwise they will not be able to marry." It is rare in the world for parents who love their daughters like Sanang's father and mother, but it is very enviable to see Sanang and Xiaolan bouncing around. ”

Sanang said: "My father raised me as a son since I was a child, and I forgot to raise myself, and when they remembered it, my feet were no longer good V Lan's sister lived in her grandfather's house since she was a child, and the place where Tusi was in charge did not advocate foot binding, so we escaped." ”

Tianqi suddenly laughed and said: "Speaking of foot binding, I am reminded of a story, it is said that the queen of Taizu's horse because her family is a military household is also Tianzu, Taizu won the world after the queen of the horse went to the street, accidentally exposed her feet outside the sedan chair and was teased by the people, known as 'showing horse feet', indicating that the people are proud of foot binding, and they will encounter great resistance to abolishing the bad habit of foot binding." But I have a way, I will let the people choose whether to entangle or not, and it is the right of people to choose for themselves. ”

The queen said: "It still can't be abolished, and the parents will definitely choose to continue to pester." ”

Apocalypse said, "The queen has misunderstood, I mean to let this woman choose for herself, not for her parents. And I have to add a sentence that a person can only choose at least an adult, and the woman is fifteen for the sake of the hair, so whether to bind the feet must wait for the woman to decide after the age of fifteen, which should be stipulated from the height of **, whose parents force the young girl to bind her feet is a violation**, and the government will severely punish the crime! ”

Sanang smiled: "This method is good, you are not allowed to entangle before the age of fifteen, and you can't be entangled after fifteen, and it is said that it is voluntary and not forced, which makes sense!" ”

The queen said: "Then give it a try, who is the emperor going to put in charge of this matter?" These palace maids will definitely offend people if they prohibit foot binding, but the concubines have told these palace maids that they will be the masters for them. ”

Tianqi thought for a moment and said, "The queen is the president of the Women's Federation, but you definitely can't take care of these things. Now the training of palace maids is in Chonghua Palace, it is better to set Chonghua Palace as a fixed office space for the Women's Federation, let Princess Ningde and other princesses do this, and let the attached horses do what is not suitable for the princesses to show up, so as not to let these attached horses have nothing to do for a day. ”

The queen said: "Since the emperor refused to let the watermelon or pumpkin marry the daughter of Princess Ningde's womb, the princess thought that you looked down on her and got angry for many days, and the emperor was afraid that it would be a little difficult for her to do things." ”

Apocalypse smiled: "How do you know it's a daughter before she is born?" Even daughters can't kiss each other. ”

Chunying asked puzzled at this time: "It's very good to kiss and kiss, why is the emperor unwilling?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "You don't know, it's easy to become stupid when you are close to your offspring, you see so many emperors in ancient times, why are their descendants getting more and more nesty?" Isn't it because many people are close to each other? ”

Sanang saw that the apocalypse was sure, and asked unconvinced: "My father is the executioner of the dart game, I heard my grandmother say that my mother is my father's cousin, according to what the emperor said, my relatives and descendants will become stupid, so why didn't I die stupid?" ”

Tianqi Zhengse said: "It is said that you have always thought that Feng Siqin is smarter than you, in fact, in terms of your talent, you are a very smart person, just because your parents are close relatives, so you have become what you are now, otherwise Feng Siqin is far worse than you." ”

Sanang listened to the words of the apocalypse, and couldn't help but be a little skeptical, and looked at the queen and then at Chunying, as if he wanted to get confirmation from them.

The queen also hesitated a little and said: "I don't know if the emperor's words are true or false, but now that Sanang has grown so big, can she go back and blame her parents for not being close relatives?" ”

Tianqi said: "So Princess Ningde can't agree to the marriage, does the queen remember when we went to Shanglin Yuan a few months ago?" There are some crops of the same variety but different heights in the surrounding area, and that is the Bo College, and they are experimenting. They say that the same variety with different characteristics should be planted together to breed new varieties, and the reason is that the varieties bred by close relatives are not as good as the varieties bred by crops with large differences. ”

Sanang said: "Why didn't the emperor and his mother take us to Shanglin Yuan to play?" Chunying and I also want to go to Shanglin Yuan to play. ”

Apocalypse said, "Who would dare to let you go when you had a big belly? I'll talk about it when I'm free in the future, now I'll tell King Xin about the establishment of female officials in various prefectures and counties, and then let him go and invite Princess Ningde, and the brother should agree to be a sister in person. ”

When the little eunuch told King Xin about the idea of appointing female officials in the Apocalypse, King Xin was discussing with Xu Guangqi in the prison court that Deng Yuhan and other Taixi people were going to build churches and preach in various places. Tianqi promised Deng Yuhan half a year ago that as long as he could help the imperial court build new cannons and build a new type of farm, he would allow them to go to various places to preach. Now that the new type of farm is beginning to take shape, Zhao Shujiao's men and horses have been withdrawn one after another, and they are preparing to resettle the other half of the people in the imperial village.

Deng Yuhan and others worked with Ni Yuanlu for several months to create a new cannon, and the muzzles of several cannons were about the same size, so that the shells could be made to standard, and it was theoretically possible to load grenades into cannons and fire. The cannon caused and the new farm was built and the translation of Taixi books was also very smooth, Deng Yuhan thought that the things that should be done were almost done, and the Ming court should fulfill the promise, so he asked Xu Guangqi and asked him to convey to King V that King V was also very cautious, in addition to asking about the farm and the translation, he also asked Ni Yuanlu to ask about the use of the cannon.

Ni Yuanlu used to be in the Military Staff Department of the Military Affairs Yuan, and since he invented the grenade through the principle of musket explosion, many people in the Military Affairs Yuan have realized the power of new weapons, and the Armaments Department has been established with the consent of the Apocalypse. Ni Yuanlu knew that King Xin called him here for the new cannon, and after he came, he sat there and waited for everyone to ask, who knew that after Xin ** said a few words to Xu Guangqi, a little eunuch came to spread the word that Tianqi was going to set up female officials in various places.

The emperor's affairs must be bigger than those of foreigners, so after sending away the little eunuch, King Xin turned to Gao Panlong: "Lord Gao, what do you think about the establishment of female officials?" ”

Gao Panlong thought for a while and said: "Since the emperor has this meaning, let's go down the text, anyway, there are still a few months left, it is estimated that at the end of this year, these palace maids who will go out of the palace will go home for the New Year, and they will take office at the beginning of next year. ”

King Xin asked Liu Zongzhou and Xu Guangqi: "What do Lord Liu and Lord Xu think about this?" Are there any different opinions? ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "If these palace maids become eight-rank female officials in various counties, I am afraid that the chief bookkeepers and others in those counties will have opinions again." However, if it is really like what the emperor said, it is also beneficial for them to build a female medical hall specializing in doctors and female dependents throughout the country, as for the women's school, forget it, women are not talented is virtue. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "It is also good to organize the establishment of weaving workshops and embroidery workshops, and now they are all making their own clothes, and there is a gap in the output of cotton and linen silk under the premise of ensuring grain production. ”

King Xin said: "Then let's do it, let them do it in the women's school, and the literate people should be more reasonable." First of all, write to the provinces, prefectures and counties, explain the pros and cons clearly, and see what their opinions are. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, King Xin asked Ni Yuanlu: "Lord Ni, is the newly made cannon easy to use?" ”

Ni Yuanlu said: "It's very easy to use, but it's a pity that it becomes difficult to use after only a few times." ”
