System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 239 Can a woman become an official?

When the girls in the textile workshop heard the reply from Mao Xue, they were shocked, hesitant at first, and then ecstatic.

They had a taste of what it was like to make money to support themselves.

They can raise their heads at home, and they won't be like some women who earn money and are beaten by their men, because behind them is a textile workshop, and the textile workshop is backed by Xu Junwei!

"This is power!" Mao Xue originally thought that becoming the owner of the shop would be the pinnacle of her life, but she never expected that the female queen would give her such a big platform!

Maybe in this life, I will only be a low-ranking official, but that is also my official position! It’s not someone else’s, so there’s no need to look up to others…

When the girls returned home, what they greeted their family members was not their blessings, but their jumping feet and angry curses!

"It's all nonsense! You don't think about promoting Aweng to a noble title, you only think about yourself. Are you possessed?"

"Son, you are usually filial to your parents and love your younger brother. Your brother is still young, how can he endure the Yao service? You have to plan for your brother. When your brother grows up safely, he will be good to you."

"Madam, what did you learn in the workshop? If you dare to violate Zhou etiquette, you have the support of the King of Qin. Are you sure you can tolerate everyone's pointing fingers? If you are a small official, you can be promoted. Jue? Why don't you let me come? You don't want me to die on the battlefield, right?"

Some girls can't stand the pressure from their families and decide to give up.

Some girls argued hard, thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and they couldn't give it up.

The quarrel within the family quickly spread to the market.

“It’s unheard of for a girl to be an official!”

"Have you forgotten Commander Xu?"

"..." Lieutenant Xu has outstanding achievements and majesty. Very few people will pay attention to her gender.

"Since it's Commander Xu's suggestion, there should be no problem, right?"

"Humph, that's an insult to politeness!" After hearing these words, the students from the academy walked away.

Bashu County is a very tolerant county. Ba people, Qin people, merchants from the other six countries, and hundreds of schools of thought can all find a place here.

But where there are people, there is a world, and there will always be some students who want their own school to be the best.

Of course the students will not miss this great opportunity!

First, some students from the academy jointly wrote letters of advice to many fishes.

The remonstrance begins with the Zhou Rites.

It is clearly stated in "The Preface to the Spring Officials of the Zhou Rites": "The wives of the world are in charge of the precepts of the women's palace, as well as the sacrifices, and the rituals of the queen. The people of the six palaces are in charge of the rituals of the inner sect. The same goes for the food for the big guests. For a big funeral, women are ordered not to cry during the funeral. Those who are disrespectful will be severely punished. If the queen pays homage to a woman, she will issue an edict. All internal matters should be dealt with externally. Officials are in the hands of women."

In short, there are two types of palace female officials. One is the royal clan daughter who has a title and is an internal clan. The other type is that non-royal clan daughters with titles are foreign clans.

They are in charge of sacrifices and etiquette matters in the inner palace, and do not interfere in matters of the outer court, such as land and military affairs.

Then, the remonstrance gave a counterexample, saying that when King Wu attacked Zhou, he listed many crimes against King Zhou, one of which was "only women's words are used", that is, women in the harem interfered with politics.

Finally, I would like to advise Xu Junwei not to insist on going his own way, contradicting the etiquette of the world, and damaging the merits and reputation of the Junwei.

Many fish read it carefully, and even Liu Ji, who disliked reading the most, read it again.

"Nujun, are you going to send someone to arrest them?" Liu Ji was furious. These students were talking about the textile workshop, but in fact they were targeting Nujun!

Who gave them a place to preach their doctrine? Who built them a school palace and paid them to recruit students?

Isn't this just picking up the bowl to eat, then putting the bowl down to curse? Many fish threw the bamboo slips aside casually and said leisurely: "No need."

"I'll find someone to argue with them!" Liu Ji was unwilling to give in. Should he just let these people act recklessly and ruin the reputation of the queen?

Many fish patted Liu Ji's head: "Today, I will teach you another lesson. Don't fall into the misunderstanding of self-evidence. Let's go to the debate. If we win, it will help them become famous in the world. If they lose, they will step on it." I'm on top. It's not good for us."

"Just let it go?" Liu Ji was disgusted. Could this be the porcelain that Nujun mentioned?

Many fish smiled mysteriously and said nothing.

Since the reform of the etiquette system in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, women's right to receive and offer sacrifices alone has been completely deprived, and men are superior to women and conservative sexual ethics have begun to appear.

Although etiquette collapsed during the Warring States Period, the status of women has further declined with the development of agricultural civilization.

If this group of Confucian scholars only targeted the female workers in the textile mills, they would really be in trouble.

It's a pity that they are so ambitious that they want to restrain themselves by this.

Reality will teach them how to behave!

Sure enough, after submitting the remonstrance without receiving any feedback, the Confucian scholars began to walk on the streets and even held night classes in the stadium to spread the word.

In their imagination, it should be a scene in which they cheered and responded.

Many fish use the slogan of loving the people like their own children. How could she not give in when faced with a flood of people?

On this day, the Confucian scholars were still on the platform of the night school, saying: "Mencius says that to be righteous is to be obedient, and this is the way of a concubine!"

"A woman is one who obeys others. When she is young, she obeys her father and brother. When she marries, she obeys her husband. When her husband dies, she obeys her son."

Someone from the audience below suddenly stood up and interrupted the Confucian scholars' generous words.

"We are here to learn how to read! Don't waste our time."

"That's right! There are a lot of beeps. Isn't the central idea just to make women obedient?"

The audience is indeed tired of hearing it. How can this be as interesting as the novelists?

The Confucian scholars ignored the protests of the audience and continued to brainwash them.

At this time, a group of people stood up and said, "During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, it was good to have a wife. What do you think of this?"

Another group of Ba people also stood up and asked: "In our mythology, there are many brave men who only know their mothers but not their fathers. Without the hard work of their mothers, the brave men would have died long ago!"

"According to your Confucian teachings, women are not allowed to reconcile in this life?" Yaduo also stood up and asked.

At first, many people still find the Confucian scholar’s ​​words unpleasant to listen to. After clarifying the words, everyone understood that they were trying to degrade the woman to death!

This is simply unreasonable!

After this night, anyone who dares to promote this view in public will be angered by everyone.

Not only did the Confucian scholars not expect this reversal, but even Liu Ji did not understand it.

Liu Ji was confused: "Why are the people so opposed? Even men..."

Han Fei saw clearly: "Because this is the Qin State, Confucianism is not dominant. Secondly, this is Bashu."
