Chapter 270: Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky
"Good! So much better! Hurry up. Su Qingyun showed a smile at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "I've been thinking about what I should do if you don't agree?" I'm sure I'm not mad at you, because after all, you're surviving under your son-in-law, and I can't force you to betray him!" But now with your words, my heart is really a lot more stable, but you can rest assured, I won't embarrass you, and I will never do anything to be sorry for your son-in-law! ”
When Fu Li returned to the Guogong Mansion at night, the sky was already slightly bright, and the chickens outside began to crow.
Entering the Shi'an Academy, he saw Su Qingyun guarding the door, he hurriedly strode in, held her hand, and found that his little hand was cold, so he hurriedly pulled the person back to the house.
The night in spring is still cold, and after staying outside for a long time, I suddenly entered the warm room, and I felt that my pores were shrinking.
Sensing that she trembled, she hurriedly took the person into her arms, and her tone was a little angry: "Why don't you wait for me in the house, knowing that you are not in good health, why do you want to stay outside to worry me!" You don't care for your body so much, how can you let me leave with peace of mind. ”
Su Qingyun's expression didn't change at all when she heard him leave, but she still twitched in her heart. Although she also knows the suffering of the people, at the same time she also has the feelings of a little woman, and she also wants to live a stable life.
From the beginning, she knew what the other party's decision would be, but when she finally heard that Fu Liye had made such a decision, she was still a little sad in her heart.
"The emperor urgently summoned all the ministers to the palace in the middle of the night, but what happened on the frontier!" Su Qingyun asked.
Holding her hand and covering him with internal force, so that her hand quickly warmed up: "The news that the emperor has obtained, if it is really as you think, it is false, their Shuili country has already laid a trap and is waiting for us to fall into the net, General Ji Lao They have just arrived at the border with an army of 100,000 troops, and before the war started, they have been defeated, and the total number of soldiers and generals has gone to a full 30,000 horses, General Ji Lao fortunately has rich experience, so he led everyone to hide in a valley in time to wait for support." ”
"And then, what did you promise?" As soon as he heard this result, Su Qingyun was anxious, this person was gone, and all the troops, that is, the 100,000 horses, were now all lost in one place. Even if it's Fu Liye, he can't challenge the entire army alone.
"This has neither troops nor money, what did you promise the emperor? Do you say that you don't feel comfortable leaving, and you want to go to war alone? You...... What does it do if you go alone? In front of so many enemies, you are always alone! ”
She knew that Fu Liye was loyal to the monarch and served the country, but she couldn't die in vain. Such a big celebration, it has really come to an end. She would rather be a deserter than go to Fu Li's night to die in vain.
"Don't worry, I don't want to die yet, I still want to accompany you to the end of my life, how can I die in vain! The emperor said that he would requisition the people's army, and I will personally go to recruit the army! The emperor said, do my best to recruit troops, and I will lead as many as I can to support General Ji! Seeing that Su Qingyun was anxious, Fu Liye hurriedly said.
"But this has taken away all the people's troops, what should I do with the fields?" Su Qingyun's heart was even more worried when she heard this, most of the main sources of income in ancient times came from farmland, and the country's treasury also relied on the people's taxes.
In the busy agricultural season, if the militia and sturdy men are on the battlefield, the land of Daqing will be deserted, then the harvest of the year will be gone, and how to resist the severe cold in winter is only afraid that the war will be won, but the infighting will rise again.
"At first, I also had this concern, but as the emperor said, if Daqing is gone, they will not have a bumper harvest of food and a stable life!"
Su Qingyun understands the reason, but this will not reduce her worries: "Generally, it will only be men who go out to fight, and women are often weavers, if women are also willing to work in the fields, it is equivalent to someone working in the farmland at home, so that food and troops can be solved!" Even if everyone is willing to fight, there will be 20,000 or 20,000 militiamen at most, and you alone will carry 20,000 militiamen...... In case of! ”
"Qingyun, don't worry, 20,000 troops are enough, and there are 10,000 horses in the Qisha Palace on my side, and at least 3,000 of them are killers with strong martial arts, who can fight with one to ten! This time I will meet them halfway and take them to the rescue together, so that I have enough manpower, and my mother-in-law should be back soon, if the forces of the Shuoda tribe join, then what are we afraid of? ”
Under his appeasement, Su Qingyun was a little relieved, but she offered to go with him to recruit soldiers.
They went village by village.
When the villagers below heard that they were going to raise taxes and levy soldiers, everyone began to make a fuss.
"Now is the busy season of farming, all the money and surplus money are taken out to buy seeds, who still has the money to pay taxes, if they are paid, will the family starve to death? Now every family needs men to do farm work, and if you take them away to fight at this time, there will be no one to plant in the family's farmland, will it be wasted? Even if you return victorious, what will we eat? ”
Fu Liye understood the people's worries, and he came in person this time to give an explanation to the people and reassure them: "Everyone, listen to me, the emperor understands the people's suffering!" But now the war on the front line is tight, and the treasury is empty, so we need everyone to contribute their own strength, and the emperor said that the taxes paid this time can be used to cover the taxes for three years in the coming year! ”
"I'm sorry, what about the three-year tax, I'm afraid that once the tax is paid this time, we are afraid that we won't be able to survive this year, and where can we enjoy the three-year tax exemption!" Some women below began to curse, they were uneducated countrymen, and naturally their exports would not be good.
Su Qingyun, who was dressed in men's clothes, took a few steps forward and said loudly: "You don't have to pay taxes, you don't have to go to conscription, then everyone is sitting here waiting for Shui Liguo to take the army to level my Daqing, and then you will watch your women being robbed, watching your men being killed, and watching your daughters being raped!" The country is in trouble, everyone should contribute their own strength, this is not for the country, this is for yourself, without the country, even if you are allowed to plant farmland at home, do you think you still have the opportunity to enjoy? Once the Shuili Kingdom invades Daqing, you won't even have the qualifications to be slaves! ”
The people below were stunned by her roar. I didn't know how to refute it, and I listened to what she said again.
"If you are not my race, your heart will be different, once Daqing is gone, you Daqing people will not be able to find a place anywhere, no country is willing to accept you, once the water glass country dominates my Daqing, you will only be the descendants of the people, and there will be no dignity to talk about from now on! Now it's just that you pay your taxes in advance, not more! ”
This is a question of who in the world does not want to live with dignity, and when I heard this, my heart was faintly touched, but everyone did not speak.
Su Qingyun continued: "If you hand over this money, it will indeed be very difficult in life, but I believe that you will not really be unable to live, but have you ever thought that once the Shuili Kingdom invades here, you will not have a chance to consider it, it will be a dead end, and you big men!" Do you really look at the country's troubles, and just hide behind it and only know how to cultivate the land? ”
"But if all the men go to the battlefield, and the farmland in this family has no harvest, we are not the same as sitting and waiting to die, we are just ordinary peasants, how can we survive without farmland!" A woman asked with tears in her eyes.
"Are you all dead? Are all women dead? Could it be that women have no hands or feet, and will always squat at home weaving and washing dishes? Su Qingyun asked sharply.
"It is said that women should obey the three obedience and four virtues, and it is not appropriate to show their heads, so women are sitting at home and doing housework, but have you ever thought that women are also human beings, and she also has hands and feet and the ability to work! You must know that women can also hold up half the sky, men go out to fight bloodily, can't women abandon that little damn face and go out of the house to do farm work at home, may not be as fast as men, but will always make a decent appearance, even if the harvest is too small, it will not be no harvest! ”
Women can hold up half the sky, and these words have left a deep imprint on the hearts of all women.
Fu Liye also looked at Su Qingyun in surprise, seeing that she was desperately saying these words loudly for herself, the green tendons on her forehead were already bulging, she would be in good health, but she was running so hard for herself.
Su Qingyun took off the hat on her head, and a green silk was scattered on her head, and she said directly: "I should have traveled in women's clothes, why should I pretend to be a man, it is because everyone thinks that women should stay in the boudoir!" A woman is an appendage of a man, and I believe that no woman wants to get the status of an appendage!
"But if we women don't have some skills, what's the difference between them and accessories? It's not that men think too badly of us women, it's that what we women do every day is an accessory thing! If you can do what men can do in their place, men will not dare to look down on women easily. ”
Seeing that Su Qingyun was actually a woman, and at the same time listening to her words, the hearts of the people below were ready to move.
Seeing that the people below began to waver, although Su Qingyun was dizzy because of the lack of oxygen because of her loud speech, she still wanted to hold on
"Especially now when the country is in crisis, men have to go to the battlefield to fight bloodily, then we women will be their backers behind the scenes, plant farmland for them, let them have no worries, let them see our women's skills, and let them understand that we women can live well without their men, and we can also get the respect of men in the future, we can also walk out of the house openly, and we women can also hold up half the sky!"
The wind was blowing in the sky and the drizzle was drizzling, and before the man could react, a woman said, "I am willing to do farm work!" ”
This year, a woman chimed in and said that she would also like to do farm work at home.
Su Qingyun suddenly burst into tears. turned around and looked at Fu Liye.
