Although Yan Xueyi is a human being in two lives, Yan Xueyi will not excessively pursue equality between men and women. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Equality between men and women" is a joke in modern times, not to mention that it is only the end of the nineteenth century, and the Chinese Empire can be said to be still a feudal society, and the status of women is far lower than that of men, which cannot be changed in a short period of time.

However, Yan Xueyi has slightly improved the living environment of women in the current society, such as the problem of women's foot binding.

Foot binding, also known as foot binding, is a bad habit in ancient China, that is, wrapping a woman's feet with cloth to make it a small and pointed "three-inch golden lotus", and "three-inch golden lotus" once became an important condition for women's aesthetics in ancient China.

The history of foot binding is mainly from the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty foot binding is somewhat different from the foot binding of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the foot binding of the Manchu Dynasty is more serious, after the woman binds the feet, her feet become completely deformed, in the eyes of modern people, only feel disgusting.

Of course, there are also some people who women do not bind their feet for various reasons, for example, rural women can't do heavy work if they bind their feet, some women from official eunuch families don't bind their feet, and Manchu women never bind their feet.

Fortunately, there are no women with bound feet among Yan Xueyi, and Yan Xueyi will not marry a woman with bound feet.

One thing is also funny, after the Manchu rulers entered the Central Plains, they initially strongly opposed the foot-binding customs of the Han people, and repeatedly ordered to prohibit women's foot-binding, but at this time the trend of foot-binding was difficult to stop, and in 1668 AD (the seventh year of Kangxi), it had to be banned.

This matter, once played by people as "men to women do not submit" - the Qing soldiers entered the customs, there was a "shaving order", under the high pressure of force, Han men finally had to give in, so men shaved their hair, regarded as a symbol of submission to the Qing court, at the same time, although women's foot binding was also ordered by the Qing court to stop, but later did not achieve the purpose of prohibition, so there is a "man to women disobedience" said, it can be seen that the wind of foot binding is deep-rooted, it can also be said that the feudal scholars or Confucian culture has a profound impact on society.

However, when the Chinese Empire unified the land of China, Yan Xueyi issued an order to cut braids and ban foot binding, because the Manchu rule was overthrown, the original social class was broken, and the two orders were enforced by governments at all levels, and they were able to proceed smoothly, but in some remote areas, there are still women who bind their feet, and this will slowly change.

The ban on foot binding has not improved much in women's alignment, and in China's thousand-year-old tradition, the status of women is not so easy to improve, and even equality between men and women may have a certain chaotic impact on society.

At present, only the Royal Academy admits aristocratic women, and as time goes by, Yan Xueyi will also order ordinary schools to admit female students.

However, when he really became a teacher, Yan Xueyi still had to choose whether it was a co-educational school or a co-educational school, if the choice was inappropriate, it would easily cause a strong social response, as the founding emperor, with Yan Xueyi's prestige, he could also forcibly implement a certain order, and those who dared not obey would be killed!

The Royal Academy is not just starting construction, Yan Xueyi thought about the education of his son and daughter early on, so last year he had already established the Royal Academy in the left front of the Han Palace, this Royal Academy was just a simple construction, and in less than a year, Yan Xueyi will move the capital, and the new capital built by the Chinese Empire with the strength of the whole country is much faster than the construction of Yuanhe City and Yongyi City.

March is just around the corner, and the Royal Academy is about to open.

Many dignitaries and nobles in the empire want to send their children to study in the royal academy, because the prince and the princess are studying there, and the prince is studying, maybe this is the emperor training the team for the prince.

However, now it is only the first enrollment after the establishment of the Royal Academy, and the scale is still a bit small, and the first phase will not admit too many students, but will only be divided into two male classes and two female classes, a total of four classes, and a total of 100 students.

Therefore, when the Royal Academy enrolls students, it must strictly control the conditions of students.

The problem of the student is easy to solve, but the teacher's problem is a little more difficult, the boy can be taught by the male teacher, or the female teacher can teach, but the girl cannot be taught by the male teacher, the female teacher must teach.

There are not many male teachers in the Chinese Empire, but in the proportion of intellectuals in the Chinese Empire, men far exceed women, and it is very troublesome to find some female teachers.

In the end, Xiao Mei decided to go out and serve as a teacher herself, and also selected several from the officers of the women's battalion and the wives and concubines of important ministers of the empire to become teachers, responsible for imparting various knowledge to female students.

In addition, there is a special existence among the female teachers, although the age is not very large, but her knowledge is not low, about this young female teacher, not to mention for the time being.

As March approaches, the Royal Academy will open, and the regular schools covering the entire territory of the empire will also open.

Education is a key focus of the Chinese Empire in the next five years.

If the Imperial Ministry of Education wants to complete comprehensive literacy education, universal basic education, and in-depth quality education, I am afraid it will take a long time, and at the same time it will have to invest a huge amount of money, but this is a necessary investment, Yan Xueyi attaches importance to education, and the Imperial Cabinet must also attach importance to education, and the investment in education is the first priority.

Millions of intellectuals in the province have gone to all parts of the country, so that primary schools have covered most of the country, and basic education can be universalized, and primary schools can be used to impart knowledge to primary school students during the day and to carry out literacy education for ordinary people at night.

Comprehensive literacy education and universal basic education are relatively simple, but it is very difficult to deepen quality education.

Previously, there were only eight secondary schools and one university in the four provinces (it can be called Yuanhe University, and the name will be changed later), and in the first five-year plan of the empire, the Chinese Empire was to have at least three universities, and each province was to have three secondary schools.

There is no shortage of low-end educational talents in the empire now, what is really lacking is high-end educational talents, Yan Xueyi can't open a plug-in here, he can only rely on the country's own strength to grow too much.

This is indeed a huge difficulty, but when I think of the period of the Han Kingdom, the teachers and students of Yuanhe University studied and advanced together, and college students could become new university teachers after graduation, which was the basis for building a new university, and the construction of a new middle school was done in the same way.

There is no way, the level of education in China during the Manchu Dynasty was too low, and it was difficult for the Chinese Empire to catch up with the popularity of education in Western countries in a short period of time.

This is not only because the Western countries are the forerunners, but more importantly, the population of the Chinese Empire is so large that in the case of a four-way province, in the second five-year plan, the education popularization of the four provinces has surpassed that of the Western powers.

Plans are well underway, and March has arrived.
