10 Meetings
The conference room was quite large, with the principal sitting on the rostrum above and rows of chairs below.
It wasn't full.
The teachers who went in before Ji Xiaoduo sat in two or three piles clearly.
Ji Xiaoduo turned her eyes and knew what to expect.
The Academy of Literature, the Academy of Martial Arts, and the teachers of the Hundred Crafts and Skills Class couldn't sit together.
Discrimination is pervasive, and even among men, there is a clear chain of contempt.
Ji Xiaoduo didn't make up anywhere, and consciously found a corner and sat down.
But even so, it is usually a man's occasion, and suddenly there is a woman, which also makes many people feel uncomfortable, and from time to time someone wants to turn their heads to look at her.
Ji Xiaoduo smiled back calmly.
Some people will be a little embarrassed, and others will be obviously very disgusted.
"I am looking for everyone to hold this meeting temporarily, the main thing is to discuss the words that appear on the statue of Ji Niangniang. Principal Lu opened his mouth first, "Everyone has seen it, what do you think is going on?"
"I've seen it before, and the red is not cinnabar or red paint, but it comes out of the stone. ”
"When I found out, I immediately investigated, and it wasn't the students who did it. ”
"The night before was fine, it was impossible for ordinary people to rebag such a large stone statue overnight, and it didn't alarm others, it could only be that Ji Niangniang appeared. ”
Nonsense, does this need to be said?
Principal Lu was a little impatient, "I mean, whether it is Ji Niangniang's manifestation or anything else, why did you write those eight words, and what purpose do you want to achieve?"
There are no stupid people who can come to Hope School to teach.
"On campus, men and women are equal. These eight words are the most simple vernacular, and there is nothing that cannot be understood.
It just depends on everyone's understanding and approval.
Everyone looked at each other, and someone said, "I want girls to take the same courses as boys." ”
"It's ridiculous. ”
"Even if they can learn the poems and songs of the Four Books and Five Classics, can they also learn to ride archery horses and carpenter blacksmiths?"
"If a woman goes to do carpentry, Lu Ban will be so angry that she will crawl out of the ground. ”
At this time, everyone who couldn't sit together spoke in unison and burst into laughter.
Ji Xiaoduo waited for them to finish laughing before asking, "Why can't it?"
Her voice was not too loud, soft and soft, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It took a long time for someone to say, "What is that like?"
"Since ancient times, there has been no such reason!"
"My family's ancestral skills have never been passed on to men or women. ”
"Female streamers, you can't pick your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, what kind of bow and horse do you learn?"
Everyone retorted, Ji Xiaoduo was not in a hurry, and still said softly: "Have you ever been to the countryside outside the city?" After years of war, there are more than one out of ten men, and now in almost every township and village, there are women supporting the portal, working in the fields and going up the mountain to collect firewood. If a woman can afford a hoe and a firewood knife, can't she hold a planer, a bow and arrow? What can't she learn?"
The world has only been stable for less than two years, and there is still turmoil in some areas, and not all teachers are high above the world, and some people have seen and understood the situation that Ji Xiaoduo said, and many people were silent for a while.
But there are still humanitarians: "What's the use of women learning this?"
Ji Xiaoduo said: "We are just teachers, isn't it too arbitrary to decide whether it is useful for students? After all, no one knows what will happen tomorrow." ”
This is also quite a lot of people's feelings.
Chickens and dogs are all useful, there is no really useless skill in this world, it just depends on what the timing is.
"Don't forget the old lady of the Zhou family who came to make a fuss for Mr. Female Scholar before. Mr. Yang almost broke his leg by them. Who would dare to teach a female student?" another concern was raised.
"Yes, men and women can't be taught and received, and the defense still has to be guarded. ”
"Male and female classmates, it's really immoral. ”
As soon as this was mentioned, everyone's attitude immediately became resolute again.
Ji Xiaoduo said: "I have carefully read the school rules and school history these days, and you must know better than me. What's more, I also heard that although the Hope Academy is now nationalized, it is still subsidized by the Ji family. The school blindly accommodates parents and turns the school into a closed private school, I'm afraid it doesn't agree with Ji Niangniang's original intention, right?"
Ji's relied on Zhao Mingxuan to spread his business to the whole country little by little, but most of the money he made was posted into the Hope School and the R&D department, which is not a secret, as long as anyone who knows a little about Ji's knows it.
After all, it is impossible to rely on the treasury, and after so many years of fighting, the treasury has long been unable to come up with money.
After the change of dynasty, it is necessary to live with the people.
Now the court is very poor.
Even the salaries of the teachers are actually paid by Ji.
Principal Lu is also very aware of this, but he is a little unhappy when he is broken like this.
He hired this "Mr. Li", originally just to see that she had indeed read some books, and she was alone, and her writing was weak and easy to handle, but he didn't expect to be so sharp-tongued.
Isn't this clearly pointing at him and scolding, taking Ji Niangniang's money, but not doing anything for Ji Niangniang, so angry that Ji Niangniang appeared?
Principal Lu patted the table with a calm face, "Okay." The statue of Ji Niangniang cannot be destroyed privately, and if there is a red letter, I will report it first, and then I will talk about it when there is a reply from above. As for whether or not to open other courses to girls, since there is such a controversy, it is better for everyone to vote. ”
Playing "voting" at this time is obviously to suppress Ji Xiaoduo.
No matter how you look at it, she is alone.
Needless to say, the voting results were against everyone except Ji Xiaoduo.
After opposing it, you have to make sarcasm. "I don't think women should come to read anything. If you recognize a few words, you don't know that the sky is high and thick. ”
"It's a woman's duty to keep to yourself. ”
Someone persuaded Ji Xiaoduo, "Mr. Li just gets paid for classes every day, so why meddle with things? Those female students themselves may not want to learn this or that." ”
Ji Xiaoduo said: "Whether to learn or not is their own choice, but if they don't even have the opportunity to choose, they may not be too pitiful." ”
"Look at yourself. "There is humanity, "A woman who shows her face and comes out to beg for a living is really pitiful!"
"A woman needs to have someone to rely on, someone to shelter her from the wind and rain, not to learn any skills. ”
Ji Xiaoduo didn't argue anymore, and she didn't think that she could change anyone just by having a meeting.
But the rectification of the Hope Academy must be carried out.
And it's not just Yanzhou, she also has to wait for feedback from other places before deciding on the next step.
At the end of the meeting, nothing was actually discussed.
It's business as usual.
Principal Lu found someone to cover the statue of Ji Niangniang with a piece of cloth, and waited for the above to come back and see how to deal with it.
However, the controversy at the meeting spread out, and the teachers and students of the school looked at Ji Xiaoduo differently.
Aunt Guo quietly found Principal Lu and sued Ji Xiaoduo again.
"How can this kind of person who doesn't understand the rules and disregard the rules be worthy of being a teacher?" Guo Da Niang said hatefully, "And ah, the statue of Ji Niangniang may be her making trouble." Otherwise, why was it okay for so long before, and something strange happened to her as soon as she came?"
She wanted to simply take this opportunity to kick Ji Xiaoduo away.
In fact, Principal Lu also wanted to.
But there are some concerns.
Because at this time, the people he sent out to inquire about the situation of other schools have already sent the news back.
- Those eight words also appeared on other statues of Ji Niangniang.
- It's really Ji Niangniang's apparition.
If "Mr. Li" really has something to do with this, it means that she has something to do with "Ji Niangniang".
So what will he do to "Mr. Li", will "Ji Niangniang" directly show him another spirit?
He hesitated for a few days, and Zhao Mingxuan's holy decree came down.
Eight hundred miles of urgency, straight to the hope schools around the country.
There will be Ji's national patrol inspection team behind, and the loyal general Zhao Zhong will personally escort the battle.
Principal Lu didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and was even a little glad that Mr. Li was here.
politely invited Ji Xiaoduo over and rectified it directly according to her opinion.
As for the previous vote?
Seeing that the job is about to be lost, who can take care of it?
