There are easy ways not to use, but you have to choose the difficult ones!

Why?

Because there is no shortage of wise people in the world, if everyone chooses the easy way, who will take the difficult road!

The world needs to change, and every small change requires the efforts of countless people.

The queen mother thought that Meng Huaijin only used "selection of female officials" to prevaricate the courtiers in order not to establish a queen and not accept a concubine, but in fact, this was not the case.

The Queen Mother was born as the concubine of the Gu family and the pearl of the Jingshi, and the hardships she suffered for half of her life were all because she married the affectionate and ambitious Xiao Yuzhong. But even when she was an invisible person in the palace, the suffering of the Queen Mother was more of a mental torture.

She has never been hungry, has never suffered from cold, and the words "brocade clothes and jade food" run through the life of the queen mother.

Such a queen mother naturally couldn't be deeply touched by Meng Huaijin's selection of female officials, and the queen mother felt that Meng Huaijin was evading the prevarication.

is the virtuous concubine, who was a maid in the palace in her early years, and knows the suffering of folk women, and has no love for the first emperor Xiao Yuzhong, so she became Xiao Yuzhong's concubine only because she could stay with the queen mother...... If there was such a female official as Meng Huaijin said at that time, Concubine Xian thought about it seriously, she would rather have her head hanging on the beam and stabbing her head to take the female officer exam, and she would not be a concubine for Xiao Yuzhong!

After Meng Huaijin said her plan, Concubine Xian ignored the mood of the Queen Mother for the first time and asked: "Can only a woman with an innocent family background take the exam, and what if she is a slave?" ”

Meng Huaijin shook his head, "Those who are slaves and maids can't take the exam for the time being, and you also know that slaves and maids even hold their lives in the hands of their masters, and I don't dare to guarantee her position for such a woman." ”

Concubine Xian is a pity.

According to what Meng Huaijin said, if the family background is innocent, it is necessary to be literate and hyphenated, and to meet the conditions for the selection of female officials, it must be a girl who can only be raised by a large family, and it is difficult for a poor girl to even meet her food and clothing, so how can she have the opportunity to read and break words?

The poor girl still has no chance to get ahead.

"If you can't do it now, it doesn't mean you won't work in the future."

To Concubine Xian's question, Meng Huaijin replied.

Concubine Xian was a little in a trance.

Meng Huaijin's proposal touched the heart of Concubine Xian, and the Queen Mother was obviously very opposed, and Concubine Xian was not sure whether she should persuade the Queen Mother.

There are many poor families in Dawei, who are willing to tighten their belts and cut down on food and clothing for their sons to study, because reading is an investment, and as long as they achieve fame, the whole family can get rid of poverty and become rich.

Girls, when they are old, they will be married.

Not to mention poor families, even some large families, do not care about the upbringing of girls, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are only learned by cultivating sentiments, and reading is less utilitarian and lacks self-motivation.

It's useless to be motivated, no matter how good you read, you can't go to the scientific examination like a man!

From Cheng Qing, Meng Huaijin knew that women were no worse than men in scientific examinations and being officials, and Cheng Qing wanted women to dress up as men because the world did not allow it, and other women did not have the great perseverance of Cheng Qing, and without Cheng Qing's mistakes, it was difficult to replicate Cheng Qing's success - unless they were allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

In the officialdom of Dawei, with female officials, Cheng Qing's matter of disguising herself as a man is not worth pursuing.

Meng Huaijin is not naïve enough to do it in one step, he wants to make changes, but this change is gradual like spring breeze and rain.

As soon as the will to select female officials was announced, it really aroused discussion among the government and the opposition.

Surprisingly, these ministers were not very opposed.

They are not the queen mother, the information they have is not equal, and they can't think of going anywhere else, so they are embarrassed to break their promise after three years of not being established, and use the form of "selecting female officials" to change the law to fill the harem.

does not accept concubines, but also concubine reserves.

It's just that other emperors choose the harem to pay attention to appearance, and the new emperor takes a fancy to learn.

There's nothing surprising about it.

The experience of the new emperor is special, whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, there is no precedent for the champion to be the emperor.

This is a wonderful misunderstanding.

The queen mother was still waiting for the courtiers to object, but the courtiers were vying to be the first to stuff the little ladies of the family into the palace as female officials.

It's the idea of getting the moon first near the water.

Queen Mother: "...... Hehe. ”

I don't know if I'm laughing or annoyed, don't those courtiers have a brain?

The Queen Mother knew that some men were stupid and arrogant, and the first emperor Xiao Yuzhong was like this, otherwise her plan and Concubine Xian's plan would not have succeeded smoothly.

But the Queen Mother only now found out that not only was the first emperor Xiao Yuzhong arrogant, but the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces did not seem to be much stronger than the first emperor.

- That being the case, you deserve to be deceived by Cheng Qing and a woman!

"Niangniang, the matter has come to this, why don't you let Your Majesty try it?"

Concubine Xian persuaded the Queen Mother to relax.

The imperial doctor said that the queen mother's body should not think too much, otherwise it would hinder the number of lifespans, and the concubine Xian hoped that the queen mother could worry less about Meng Huaijin.

"The mourning family is too lazy to care about him, let's see how he stops in the future!"

The Queen Mother didn't care, and no one stopped Meng Huaijin, and the notices for the selection of female officials were soon posted all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and they were sent to the state capitals of the Great Wei.

When the Di Bao was sent to the northwest, Cheng Qing didn't speak for a long time, and read the Di Bao again and again.

Meng Huaijin set the time for the selection of female officials in October next year, and the examination is also four books and five classics, but the difficulty of the examination is not as deep as the scientific examination.

If you start preparing now, there is still more than a year to go, if you are reading and literacy, seize the time to study hard, and you will have a chance to pass the exam next year.

Cheng Qing showed the newspaper to He Wan.

"Wan Niang, this is an opportunity, if any of the female workers in the weaving workshop want to take the test, let them come to me."

He Wan also flipped through the newspaper and said with a smile: "Even I am a little moved." ”

If it weren't for the fact that there was still something to do in Qin'an County, He Wan really wanted to try.

She is also literate and hyphenated!

If there had been such an opportunity in the early years, He Wan might not have chosen to go into business.

But the female workers in the weaving mill, can they go to the female officer examination? He Wan was a little skeptical.

Cheng Qing smiled: "Human potential is infinite, if you don't ask, how do you know that no one wants to try!" ”

The female workers in the weaving mill are hired, have not signed a deed of sale, are not lowly status, and meet the condition of "clean family background".

Teaching women workers to read and write, the weaving workshop has been started since last year, whether they can be selected is one thing, let them know that there is another way out, lest they always feel that reading and literacy is useless!

……

Lanzhou.

Yu Xian read the latest newspaper and muttered "so fast".

"My lord, what's fast?"

Gu Hongtai came up, and Yu Xian threw the newspaper to him: "You go and ask Xiaopan, the little girls who are sent to her medical hall, if there are any who don't like to study medicine, if so, you will bring it back to me." ”

Gu Hongtai was puzzled, what are you doing when you take it back, you won't take the child before, but now you will bring it?

However, if he had the opportunity to talk to Xiaopan, Gu Hongtai still went to Meizizi.

Halfway through, Gu Hongtai understood the newspaper.

Select female officials and pick up the little girls...... Is Lord Yu thinking too far?!
