Chapter 247 What color rope do you like, and what color sack do you like?
Lu Mingchen said that Zhao Yunhua was "nonsense," Zhao Yunhua knelt on the ground, but his tone was firm, "Yunhua is not nonsense, Yunhua just wants to prove with himself that wherever a man can go, a woman can go, and a man can do... Women can do the same things. This world should not be biased against women, thinking that women should live in the backyard, around the house and with their children. The world is vast and can be roamed by men, and women should also be given opportunities."
After Zhao Yunhua finished speaking, he lowered his body, "So today, I kneel here and ask for a favor. I am willing to use my military achievements in exchange for the emperor to give women in the world a chance."
"I implore the emperor to allow women to take part in the scientific examinations, pass the imperial examinations and become officials in the court, and allow female soldiers to be allowed. This will give women in the world a chance to guard the borders and defend the country, and also allow them to gain a future for themselves."
After Zhao Yunhua finished speaking, Lu Mingchen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had not yet spoken. The officials above the hall began to lose their balance and immediately began to discuss, "Let women take part in scientific examinations?"
"How is this possible?"
"Yes, the scientific examination is so easy!"
"No, there are so many scholars in the world who can't pass the exam despite studying hard for many years!"
"Isn't that right? Besides, the court already takes good care of women. Really talented women can also get an opportunity to showcase their talents like Mrs. Ning Guo. Why are you still thinking about taking the scientific examination!"
"And joining the army..." The person who said this sneered before he finished his sentence, "Is the battlefield a joke?"
"With a woman's strength? Ha," he smiled contemptuously again.
Zhao Yunhua couldn't help but asked, "What happened to the woman's strength?"
"Am I not a woman?"
"Or are you saying that your Excellency only considers the ladies and daughters of each family to be women?"
"Isn't she a woman anymore than the ordinary woman who wanders the streets and hides in the market to make a living?"
"Have you ever seen how those women live?"
"Those women can carry children on their backs and go to the entrance of the village to fetch two large buckets of water. Then they take care of the daily life of the whole family. They start working from before dawn until late at night. When the whole family has rested, she still has to sit Under the dim oil lamp, sewing and mending.”
"There are still women who, in order to make a living, can support a whole family shop by themselves. Not only do they have to work, but they have to deal with the bad guys on their own!"
"Also, finding a rogue man is not just about taking care of the family. He also has to work in the fields. The several acres of fields at home are all taken care of by the woman alone. She not only takes care of the children but also takes care of the fields. Some of them just give birth to children. Go to work in the fields."
"Do you think, sir, if you give these women a chance, they will find studying difficult?"
"Do you still feel the wind and rain at the frontier are a hardship?"
After Zhao Yunhua finished speaking, he turned to Lu Mingchen who was sitting on the dragon throne, "In recent years, the folk customs of the Wei Dynasty have been much more open, and more and more women have come out to make a living. Now the people of the Wei Dynasty are getting richer and richer. It has not caused any trouble to the court.”
"So I feel that allowing women to take scientific examinations and join the army may be the way to make the Wei Dynasty more prosperous."
"Now that Meng and other countries have surrendered to our Wei Dynasty, and they communicate with each other, shouldn't we show them the advancement of the dynasty?"
"Whether it's folk customs or people's livelihood."
Zhao Yunhua's words made those officials unable to refute for a while, because women were officials and did practical things for the court. Going back to the past, Jiang Fu was there, and even Jiang Fu is still an official in the court today.
When women join the army, Zhao Yunhua gave the answer with herself. Their mother and daughter's actions are irrefutable, so those who are unwilling and unwilling can only keep silent for the time being.
However, the creation of women's encores, as well as allowing women to join the army and opening female soldiers, are major matters that require long-term planning. Lu Mingchen could not agree to it on the spot.
So Lu Mingchen could only say, "I will seriously consider this matter raised by Yun Hua."
Zhao Yunhua is not the kind of reckless and ignorant person. Lu Mingchen said that he would seriously consider it and did not reject it outright, which shows that the matter is feasible, but it needs to be considered in the long term, so she is very sensible and grateful, "I thank you, Your Majesty."
After skipping this matter, we returned to the matter of rewards based on merit.
Zhao Yunhua was awarded the title of Chariot and Cavalry General based on his merits and was given the general's residence. He did not criticize her harshly for concealing his identity, but also made her a cavalry general and gave her a general's residence. Lu Mingchen's attitude actually explained the problem very well. What Zhao Yunhua proposed in the main hall will most likely come true. .
Although Zhao Yunhua was named the first female general, the fact that she stayed in the military camp for three or four years was completely exposed.
For a girl who has been in the military camp for three or four years, no one dares to come to ask for marriage, even if she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo, and even if she is now a general on horseback.
They would always look at her strangely.
Fortunately, Zhao Yunhua doesn't care either. Not only Zhao Yunhua doesn't care, but no one in Ningguo Duke's palace cares either.
Duke Ningguo was only happy that his girl finally came home.
Although no one in Duke Ningguo's palace cared, there were many people in the capital who wanted to see a joke, thinking that he was trying to hold on, secretly laughing that he would raise an old girl who couldn't get married.
After hearing this, Ning Guogong's mansion just sneered disdainfully, "Humph, is there any daughter of mine that Zhao Yuan can't get married to?"
"As long as I want to, my daughter will marry the one who is the most outstanding."
"I will put my daughter on the list to catch her son-in-law."
Ning Guogong's words were later spread, and they indeed shut up many people.
If someone really catches the No. 1 scholar, relying on the power of Duke Ning's palace, will he still worry about his son-in-law's rapid rise to prominence?
So they really just eat carrots and worry less.
Zhao Yunhua was already nineteen at that time. Lu Mingchen finally adopted Zhao Yunhua's opinion and allowed female soldiers. The first batch of female soldiers were trained in Zhao Yunhua's hands. Women were also allowed to take the scientific examination. When Zhao Yunhua was twenty years old, the men of Dawei took the scientific examination together with the women.
Then there were five women in the first list.
After a short period of preparation, there was no one, which shows how many smart women have been buried in the past. After all, these women did not study hard for ten years, but they easily made the list.
The strategies they write are equally brilliant, and they are no weaker than men. They also have breasts, not short hair and short knowledge.
The number one scholar this year stood at the gate of Duke Ning's Mansion with a rope in one hand and a sack in the other. He asked loudly, "May I ask what color of rope your fourth lady likes, and what color of sack she likes?"
This man is the youngest son who trusted the Prime Minister after the old Prime Minister left. I heard that he has been weak since childhood. He coughs every three steps and wheezes every five steps. He doesn't go out much on weekdays.
Unexpectedly, he would win the first prize this year and become the number one pick.
Xie Fei's eyebrows are green and his face is white, but the whiteness is a bit too white. He is tall and tall, but his shoulders and neck are a little thin. It is not difficult to tell that this man was once a sick man.
People always look for their son-in-law, but this son-in-law came to his door in person.
After Xie Fei shouted, Zhao Yunhua did not show up, but the Duke of Guo came out in person. Xie Fei, whose face was paler than his daughter's, said in disgust, "Go, go, we don't want you in our family."
