Piert Mendy did not linger too long, and after personally conveying the Prime Minister's intentions, he got up and left the Educators' Association.

"Father, you heard him."

Arthur looked at the two Mavi who came out of the shadows, and said in a deep voice, "The trouble for education has come. ”

"The reaction is really fast" Ma Wei sighed: "Yesterday's incident, today I came up with a countermeasure, these old foxes, don't look at the usual inconspicuous mountains and water, in fact, they are all holding back." ”

"It's not okay to deal with these people if you're not careful, I was expelled from the royal capital because I was too young."

Picking up the somewhat cold tea, Arthur took a sip: "I won't repeat the mistakes I made in the past, but I don't have any attitude when it comes to the women's union, Father, what do you think I should do next?" ”

Arthur's goal is to take power, control the cabinet, and become king.

Women's unions are not his concern, and at this stage, he and Freya do not have much conflict of interest, and if it weren't for Mavi, I am afraid that he would have agreed to Piert Mendy's request a long time ago.

"Although I believe that universal education is the beginning of equality, I should not expose this matter, nor should I put you in a dangerous situation."

Ma Wei was a little embarrassed, he couldn't make up his mind.

On the one hand, there is the Prime Minister's order, if Arthur does not comply with Winston's request to prohibit the establishment of a girls' school, it will inevitably affect his prestige in the eyes of the aristocracy, and perhaps he will be stripped of his position as president of the Educators' Association. Now Arthur is still in the stage of reading people's faces.

On the other side is Freya, who is confident that Freya will be able to solve the problems of the girls' school, but he is not sure what kind of measures Freya will take, whether she will kill Arthur, he is not sure at all.

Whatever he chose, Arthur would be at risk, and Freya's side seemed to be a better solution in comparison.

"You do what the Prime Minister orders, and I'll visit Freya myself to talk to her."

"In that case, then I will refuse Duke Chevali's request to establish a school on the grounds of lack of qualifications."

"Hmm."

After looking for Arthur, Mavi first returned to the office of the charitable foundation and rode in a carriage to Freya's recently rented women's union headquarters.

It is said that it is a headquarters, but it is more like a large auditorium, enough to accommodate hundreds of people, and the facilities are relatively complete, as long as it is slightly renovated, it is a very good office location.

When Ma Wei arrived, the renovation was in full swing, with male workers moving furniture and reshaping floors, and several young women directing, and people constantly coming in and out, which was very lively.

"Mr. Nicholas!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he found Ma Wei, a girl wearing an Eton College uniform ran in small leather boots, stood still in front of Ma Wei, her eyes were bright, and she said in surprise and enthusiasm: "Mr. Nicholas, why are you here?" My name is Candace Hawthorne! ”

Hearing Nicholas's name, the women around him immediately put down their work and gathered around, and you greeted me one by one, and the enthusiasm was overwhelming.

Even Yunia has not escaped their clutches, and who would hate a little girl who is well-behaved and obedient?

Yunia's face was pinched and pinched, and the strong smell of perfume was all around her, and she choked her dizzy, as if she had entered a silk hole.

It must be motherhood at work.

"Oh, it's Baron Hawthorne's daughter."

Hearing the surname, coupled with Candace's extraordinary temperament, Ma Wei suddenly thought of the old aristocratic Hawthorne family: "Hello, Miss Candace, is Freya here?" ”

"Freya, you're looking for the president!" Candace smiled and said, "The president is upstairs!" Come with me! ”

"Okay."

Waving his hand to greet the enthusiastic women around him, Mavi bent down to pick up Yunia, who was almost overwhelmed by the crowd, and kept up with Candace.

Seeing Mavi maneuvering easily in the midst of countless women, Candace was surprised: "Mr. Nicholas, you seem to have gotten used to such a scene. ”

habit

Mavi thought about the time when he first became Pope, and the people of Mosk were crazier than the women of London, so that he had to change his appearance before he dared to go out.

It's really getting used to it.

"I'm just thick-skinned." Ma Wei smiled kindly: "I am so happy that everyone is so enthusiastic." ”

"You are the one who proposes to empower women! You were the first to eat crabs, and of course everyone thanked you! Candace thought it was normal: "It's great that you're one of the most powerful people in London, and yet you're willing to speak up for us oppressed women!" ”

"I'm just telling the truth."

"Ordinary people don't have the courage to tell the truth!"

Candace stopped in the room on the left side of the second floor, knocked on the door, walked in, and said, "President, Mr. Nicholas has come looking for you!" Okay, I got it. ”

After communicating with Freya, Candace exited the room and said to Mavi, "Mr. Nicholas, go in, the president wants to see you." ”

"Thank you."

"Then I'll go."

Candace bent down and pinched the unhappy face of Yunia, and walked down the stairs contentedly, Yunia rubbed her face and said sullenly: "I really don't know how to give some candy to eat. The pinched person's face hurts so much."

Ma Wei walked into the room and looked at Freya sitting behind the desk, Freya put down her work, motioned for Ma Wei to sit down, crossed her fingers, and asked with a smile:

"What wind is blowing you here?"

"It's a north wind today."

"It's a south wind."

"No, it's the north wind."

Freya frowned, she was sure that the wind was blowing from the south today, as could be seen from the union flag hanging at the door, but Mavi insisted that it was the north wind

The north wind, the wind blowing from the north to the north

Freya looked to the north, her gaze piercing the wall and reaching into the distance.

"The royal palace." Freiah wondered, "What do you know?" Is it related to the royal palace? ”

"That's right, it's the palace." Ma Wei said calmly: "The wind blowing from the palace in the north, is it the north wind?" ”

"I haven't heard from the king lately, and I have no other orders, but the bill did pass, and if you knew anything in advance, it must be very secretive."

A glint flashed in Freya's eyes: "Let's be straight, Nicholas, did the king give an order against the women's union?" ”

"The Cabinet, to be exact, but the Cabinet and the King are bound together." Ma Wei replied: "The cabinet does not want to see you set up a girls' school, it's as simple as that. ”

"How did you know such secret news?"

"I have my channels, whether it's eyeliner, or church connections, you shouldn't focus on me." Ma Wei shook his head slowly: "You have big trouble next." ”

Freya sneered: "Some people don't want to see women rise, or are afraid of the women who are united, and play tricks behind their backs, this is really like what the old immortals will do Nicholas, you tell me this, what is the purpose, right?" ”

"Please, you just called on women to vote for me and support my election, how can I not help you?"

Ma Wei spread his hands: "Even if I don't say it, you will know the news sooner or later." ”

"It's not the same." Freya said, "If I knew the meaning of the upper echelons of the kingdom in advance, I would have been able to respond in advance, which is much more important than hindsight." ”

"Do you already have a method?"

"It's not a good idea." Freya leaned back and said lazily, "Since they want to go to war, then it's better to go to war, the bloodless revolution must not be complete, right?" ”

"You are blatantly provoking the authority of the royal family and the cabinet, even if Rhodes IV favors you, you should not go too far." Ma Wei kindly reminded: "Rhodes IV is using this method to remind you that you can stop in moderation, but you are doing the opposite, which is really "

"Hah! Good for me? Frejapi laughed and said, "There is no more disgusting word in the world!" This is just an ultimatum from the higher-ups! Want me to hold back? No way! ”

Ma Wei suddenly noticed that Freya's eyes were full of ambition: "Do you know what you are doing?" ”

"I know, of course I do."

"Have you considered the consequences of failure?"

"Have you considered the consequences of failure? Nicholas? Freya asked Ma Wei with a sudden rhetorical question: "Don't think I don't know what you're doing, it's not the second prince you want to support at all!" You are in the next big game of chess Nicholas, your ambition is amazing, big! ”

After saying that, Freya returned to her lazy posture and said lazily: "So you need my help, no one can help you at a critical moment except me, isn't it?" Whenever you look back, you can always find me, you should support me, only you and I can achieve your ambitions."

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"Your ambition is almost written on your face, Nicholas." Freya shook her head: "You can't fool me, you don't need to lie to me, you don't need to be wary of me, you don't need to be wary of me, in the end, you will know who is your greatest help, although you won't thank me at that time, but I can get what I want, and that's enough." ”

“.”

There was silence for a few seconds before Ma Wei spoke: "I did come to help you, otherwise why would I come to you?" ”

"I'm going to help you get a seat on the council first, and in addition to you, I'm going to mobilize women from all over London to vote for our candidates and get as many seats as possible." Freya said: "Only by taking a seat in Congress will we have a chance to turn over!" ”

With the support of a large number of parliamentarians, Freya was able to push for legislation that would benefit women, and over time, the status of women would naturally improve, and over time, men and women would be treated equally.

The idea was great, but Freya overlooked something very important.

"Your plan, in the final analysis, is only using women's rights to manipulate men, women themselves have not become producers, unable to create more useful value, but only as predators, robbing men of the value created."

Ma Wei said slowly: "If you really want to improve the status of women, you should let women become producers and create their own value, instead of using gender to prey on men. ”

"I understand, but what's the best way to do it?" Freya rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly: "Education education, let's put it easily, do you know how many women there are in London?" This is not a small investment for them to get a good education, even if they sell all the properties and land of the Shevali family, they will not be able to cover 1%! ”

"In the field of men, women do not have an advantage, and no matter how much they are educated, they are not men's opponents, this is a physiological gap that is difficult to make up!"

"If they want to create value, they can only find another way, find a way to beat men, and become producers, but if you want to do this, you can't do it in a day or two."

Freya sighed, "Nicholas, what would you do if it were you?" ”

"In a short period of time, it is really impossible to improve the competitiveness of women, and many people can't even read and write, so what kind of work can they do? Do you fight with men? It's just nonsense."

Ma Wei agreed with Freya's statement: "However, this does not mean that women are useless, in order to change their current situation, it is necessary to improve their competitiveness, that is, to acquire useful knowledge through education, in this matter, you must not back down, you must fight to the end against the upper echelons of the kingdom, only in this way can equality between men and women see the light of day." ”

"As for the specific method"

Ma Wei pondered for a few minutes: "Serious schools can't be opened, it's better to open private schools, first of all, we must teach them literacy, this is the most basic, and only after completing this step can we carry out a deeper education." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Freya nodded: "I have gathered girls who are studying in well-known schools such as Oxford and Cambridge, and let them take on the responsibility of teachers, conduct public classes, arrange class times, and in addition, it is not easy to hire qualified teachers, I don't know how many people are willing to come." ”

Classes are easier said than done.

How long can a housewife who works all day sit and study quietly?

Considering the age issue, many housewives may not have the idea of learning at all, and only want to use this opportunity to fight for their rights, which is the most terrifying.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Freya took a deep breath: "Whether education reform can be carried out is the key, I want to elevate you to the position of councillor first, seize the opportunity of this general election, the next general election is five years later, five years is too long, I can't wait that long." ”

"Have you been in touch with the other candidates? Who are supporting your candidacy? ”

"I've made a list." "But I'm not sure how much of this list is genuinely supportive of us, and if it's a liar, I won't get any benefit from praising him for the position, I'm just worried about that," Freya said.

"What about the list? Can I take a look? ”

"Absolutely."
