Chapter Seventy-Three: Ah Xing Determination

The empress should have believed from the bottom of her heart that women were not inferior to men.

Therefore, the empress's decree - all the female imperial examinations are compared with the existing imperial examination system, which is really not an empty word.

The content of the scientific examination for male and female students is the same, and the two sides compete in the same field.

Regardless of male or female rankings, the scientific examination rankings are based on merit, that is, the scientific examination results of male and female students are ranked, and there is no longer a separate list for men and women.

In addition, all women who have passed the county, state, and provincial examinations will also be awarded the Jinshi background, and the first place will be the champion. Female jinshi can participate in the imperial court official selection examination together with male jinshi, and those who pass can be hired.

This is simply about to catch up with the modern civil service exam!

In this kind of feudal society in ancient times, women actually had such rights!

The Empress is mighty!

Liu Chenxing was so excited that he couldn't even drink the chicken soup, blinked a pair of dark round eyes, pointed to his nose, and asked, "Then I can also be in the ancient ...... Become an official? ”

I almost said that I was an official in ancient times, but fortunately I stopped in time.

Liu Chenxing patted his little chest with a huff.

At that time, because Mr. Liu had the intention of saving his sons from separating the family, Liu Qianli and the Liu family were a lot tougher, and under the effect of the two, Liu Chenxing's family could also call Liu Wensu back to their room for lunch alone.

Liu Wensu knelt down at the low table with lunch, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "It stands to reason that this is true, but-"

As soon as he stopped talking, he frowned on his good-looking brows.

Liu Chenxing didn't feel nervous, "But what? ”

Liu Wensu said: "But you have to take the Jinshi exam first." ”

What do you think it is?

The result is to say this.

Liu Chenxing said unhappily: "Uncle, I'm talking serious!" ”

"I'm serious." Liu Wensu said unhurriedly: "Although I have praised you a few times, my uncle has never been out of Qingyang County so far. ”

Liu Chenxing understood that Uncle Liu didn't want to tease her, but was worried that she was too ambitious, so he nodded and said, "Uncle, I know, many people have never passed the exam in their lives." ”

Seeing that although Liu Chenxing reacted quickly and understood what he meant, he still didn't think so, Liu Wensu said with a straight face: "I will take the imperial examination, if it is not canceled under special circumstances, it is generally once a year, but those who can be promoted to the imperial examination every year are no more than twenty people, and there is no one when they are young, which shows its difficulty." ”

"And it's so difficult for a man to want to be a jinshi, it's suitable for a woman?"

Liu Chenxing was unconvinced: "What's wrong with the woman?" Grandma and Auntie are women! Today is also a woman! ”

Liu Wensu didn't expect that the little niece was quite a bit of a woman, he was surprised, and said: "Uncle is not discriminating against women, thinking that women are inferior to men. Instead, I want to tell you that if you want to be admitted to the Jinshi exam, you have to compete with students all over the world, and even fight with those who defend the real power of men! ”

After a pause, Fang continued: "Since ancient times, power has been in the hands of men. Although it is now the heroine of the world, but the three provinces and six departments of the imperial court, ten provinces in the world, three hundred and fifty-eight states, and thousands of counties, not to mention villages like Anjia Village and Liujia Village, are all controlled by men, and how many women will they allow to climb on their heads? It is extremely difficult to reserve a place for women among the dozen or so jinshi every year. ”

Liu Chenxing can understand this.

In modern society, recruitment of government, enterprises and institutions, private enterprises and foreign companies is still more male than female, and many important positions are dominated by men.

If any time a woman comes on stage, she will be specially introduced.

Seeing the little niece nodding thoughtfully, as if she understood, Liu Wensu thought about it for a while, and said in more detail: "If you want to seize the only female jinshi quota, you need a woman to be well versed in the way of the imperial examination, otherwise how to compete with the man who has studied for the imperial examination since childhood?" ”

"But nowadays there are very few women who can read, most of them are the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles, although they are literate and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are to become an official wife who understands the general situation. As for the other kind of literate women, most of them are advocates of the family, belong to the lowly status, and are not qualified for the imperial examination at all. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Wensu suddenly smiled meaninglessly.

Therefore, the female imperial examination is compared with the existing imperial examination system, allowing men and women to compete in the same field, which seems to give women great fairness, but it also sets great difficulties. For at least ten years, it is difficult for a woman to rely on her own knowledge to become a scholar. I don't know how many years have passed since a woman like a man, who has been raised and raised for the imperial examination since she was a child, and who is lucky. ”

By that time, the empress had already sat firmly in the country, and it was only a matter of raising her hand to arrange an official and a half-position for the female jinshi.

Now he is gracious to the women of the world, but it does not touch the interests of the actual rulers everywhere.

What a ...... move

Liu Wensu didn't say this, but when he thought of the empress's strategy, his eyes became deep, and the hand on the low table was quietly clenched.

Liu Qianli was the least educated in the audience, listening to what Liu Wensu said, he felt that it was difficult for women to take the imperial examination, and then he remembered that his brother had taken the examination for more than ten years and had not even passed the county examination, and even the father-in-law who had not met was because the scientific examination consumed energy, otherwise he could live for a few more years, so he shaved the dried corn in the bowl twice, and said busily: "Since the female imperial examination is so difficult, it would be good if Ah Xing could read and write, and we would not go to the imperial examination." ”

Not the imperial examination?

Joke! In this closed ancient world, it is hard to see the direction of future efforts, how can you not take the test!?

Liu Chenxing immediately refused: "No! I want the imperial examination! ”

Liu Qianli wanted to persuade again, but Liu Wensu smiled with great satisfaction and said: "Although it is not easy for a female jinshi to be admitted, and it is even more difficult for a female official, it is not necessary for a female to be a lifter." Since the empress founded the female imperial examination, if no one has passed the examination, how can the empress have face? More importantly, the empress took pity on the difficulty of a woman's study, and ordered that as long as she could pass the county examination, she would have the right not to allow her husband to take a concubine, and 200 wen lu per month. A woman who has passed the state test not only has the right to oppose her husband's concubine, but also has the right to increase her monthly salary! ”

"Consistent!?" Liu Chenxing's eyes lit up.

I know that the most motivating little niece is here.

Liu Wensu couldn't help laughing, just as the person was sitting on the side, his hand reached out to Liu Chenxing's soft and yellowish hair again, and encouraged: "If Ah Xing can become a female jinshi again, even if he is not an official, he can still enjoy the salary of a Jiupin Beijing official." Thinking that the nine rank officials were not much, he only said: "The nine grades are on duty, but there is land, grain and money from the imperial court. So, Ah Xing, you have to study hard. ”

Liu Chenxing didn't know that when she was an official in ancient times, she was so excited that she didn't pay attention to any loopholes in her uncle's words, and she didn't even care about the hand on her head, her mind was full of land, food, and money.

This is the ancient landlord's wife!

Liu Chenxing stood up from the straw mat suddenly, and said majestically: "Ah Xing wants to be a female jinshi!" ”
