In the cabin of Kunpeng's sea-going ship, the closer we get to our daughter's country, the Jiahe Islands, the more excited the princesses, princesses, and other ladies who were ordered to study abroad this time become.
After all, they have heard too many legends about the daughter country.
I have longed for this and been curious about it.
At this time, we finally have to enter the land of girls and experience for ourselves whether the various legends are true or false. Who can not be tempted?
On the last night of the Daughter's Kingdom, many people were so excited that they stayed up all night. They squinted for a while until the next morning, and then successfully arrived at the Daughter's Kingdom's port in the Jiahe Islands at noon.
Then follow the procedures of the Daughter Kingdom.
Comprehensive inspection and customs registration.
Issue temporary residence permits to them. This temporary residence permit is only valid for seven days. During these seven days, they need to go through a series of procedures and obtain a series of certificates such as a study abroad certificate. Then they can obtain a five-year study abroad ID card. While studying abroad, you can enjoy most of the normal rights of ordinary Chinese citizens.
Because there were more procedures to go through and more certificates to apply for, they did not have the opportunity to play around until the overseas student ID card was obtained four days later.
At the same time, they also exchanged a lot of common currency of the daughter country before going out under the leadership of relevant personnel.
And hired a tour guide for them.
Take them to roam freely in the Jiahe Islands. While getting familiar with the environment, they can also learn about the situation.
"Well, let me first take you to visit the place where you will study for the next five years. After that, I will pick some places you are interested in and introduce them to you!"
Considering that these Daqian princesses and ladies had just arrived, Zhang Shaoyun, a tour guide employed by the diplomatic department, decided to take them to the place where they would study for the next five years, Jiahe Junior Women's College. She waved her hand to hail a public carriage, got on first, and invited:
"Come on, everyone, this is our specialty. Public carriages cost five yuan to ride from the south to the north of the city. The carriages with different signs have different fixed routes. Where you want to go, you must first check the route and determine where. A carriage can be reached and then a ride.
If you take the wrong seat, there will be no refund.
Well, you can take a look at the sign on the side. Yes, it's the vertical one, with white letters on a black background. Our current location is Jiahe Foreign Affairs Hotel, and our destination is Jiahe Junior Women's College.
This route can be reached directly by carriage No. 4.
No need to get off the bus midway.
Okay, come up quickly after reading this. Don’t waste other people’s time. Public carriages have fixed running times and routes, so you can’t delay people for too long. "
For Princess Huaiping, Princess Shanyang and other international students, everything around them was unfamiliar and strange. Fortunately, they had already been mentally prepared before coming, so they were still calm at this time, and soon they Following Zhang Shaoyun's words, he first looked at it and wrote down the words on the iron sign next to it, and then thoughtfully boarded the public carriage one by one in order and gave money and coins.
After everyone had arrived and the carriage started, Zhang Shaoyun continued to explain: "Although you will definitely live on campus in the future, it is still very convenient to take a public carriage when you go out to go shopping and buy things. Of course, if you are not used to sharing with others, If you take a public carriage.
You can also choose to buy your own bike.
Or take a more expensive private car. If you are really rich, you can hire someone to be your driver. You see, those two-wheeled cars outside are bicycles. They are relatively small and can only seat four to six people. A person's carriage is basically someone else's private car.
A private car with a rental sign on it.
You can wave to stop and ride.
But if there are already passengers, and the passengers inside are unwilling to share the ride with you, there is nothing you can do.
We can only continue to wait for the next private car.
In addition, it is said that steam cars and steam trains have been developed and put into use, but because they pollute the environment relatively much, and the Jiahe Islands are considered the capital of our daughter country, it is
Ensure the health of the environment.
Therefore, the empress said that we would have to wait until we develop a less polluting tram before promoting it in the Jiahe Islands.
For the time being, public carriages and bicycles are enough.
Oh, you may not understand. It takes about half an hour to get to school from here. Let me tell you in detail, let’s start with the steam engine..."
Along the way, Zhang Shaoyun never stopped talking.
After talking about steam engines, we talked about steam trains, after talking about steam trains, we talked about railway tracks, after talking about railway tracks, we talked about bicycles and recent technological developments. During the questions raised by Princess Huaiping and others, Zhang Shaoyun also tried his best to use words that he thought they could understand. The explanation is that due to the lack of more basic knowledge, Princess Huaiping and the others, apart from being constantly surprised, actually do not understand many aspects at all, and can even be described as becoming more and more confused the more they listen.
At the same time, this also strengthened their idea to study hard, otherwise they would always feel that they, the original beauties of heaven, would be as confused as country people entering the city.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the school successfully.
The next step, of course, was to register at the school gate and explain your purpose. Then you were able to enter the school smoothly and see the buildings and students in the school.
Including libraries, classrooms, etc.
He even took them to observe half of the class.
After visiting the school, Zhang Shaoyun took them to visit nearby food streets, light industrial parks, commercial districts, and even offices that handle civil affairs.
Although they were tired after listening to music and shopping all night, they were still very excited when they returned to the foreign hotel in the evening. After dinner, they had no intention of resting and instead gathered together. , the discussion started with a lot of enthusiasm.
"I didn't expect the legend to be true. There are women everywhere on the street. You can go out on the street casually without any covering up. I also saw several women wearing what looked like clogs, with their toes exposed. .”
"There are still some clothes to wear, oh, I'm embarrassed to say, those thighs are exposed."
"If I dress like this in Daqian, let alone go out on the street, even if I dress like this in the house, I will be scolded to death. To put it bluntly, the girls in the brothel are more strict than them. The uniforms in our school are like There are short skirts and shorts, do we have to wear them in the future?"
"Just do as the Romans do. I've long wanted to wear less clothes in the summer. Everyone is the same here anyway, and no one has anything to say. It's just a good time to free yourself..."
"The people are really open-minded!"
"Before, I always thought that most of the legends about the Daughter Country were either false or exaggerated, just to attract more immigrants. I didn't expect that most of them were true. You saw the civil affairs department just now Well, most of them are women, and there are only a few men. There are also those so-called officials from the Customs Department who we interacted with before. Most of them are also women. Only a few positions that require heavy physical labor are men. employees, but I’m pretty used to it.
Although many places are unfamiliar, the gender ratio between men and women feels the same as in the palace. "
"Well, that's true. Most of the people serving us are palace maids. The number of eunuchs is quite rare. The proportions are indeed somewhat similar."
"Haha, if you put it this way, we don't need to learn certain aspects in the palace at all, and we even do it more thoroughly. There are still some men here, but except for the emperor and the prince, there is no real man in the palace. It doesn’t seem to be a problem if it’s a country of girls!”
"It seems like this is really the case..."
"That's all, it's no fun to joke about this."
"Don't forget, we are here with a mission, don't really think we are here to play. Did you look at the school today? The name of the school clearly says Junior Girls' College, and according to the introduction, I heard that there is also Intermediate Girls' College. There are colleges, senior women's colleges, and women's research institutes above, and the most important thing is this junior women's college. There are many on Jiahe Island.
There is one every other distance.
In addition to women's colleges, there are also comprehensive colleges, which are colleges where men and women attend classes and study together.
Judging from this quantitative ratio, there is probably no problem with the compulsory education previously promoted by the Daughter's Country. All children of school age must enter school to receive education.
The most frightening thing is that they also have night schools for adults to learn literacy and learn in depth. This kind of cultural education is simply unmatched by us. And as you can see in today’s textbooks, what they study is not the Four Books and Five Classics, or the Four Books The Five Classics are only integrated into the course of Chinese language. There are also many other courses such as physics, chemistry, biopolitics, etc. It is said that many changes in the Daughter's Kingdom are due to the study of these courses, including various types of machinery. The production of airship missiles, the cultivation of various high-yielding grains, etc.
My God, I simply can’t imagine how horribly the Daughter Kingdom will develop after these students complete their studies.
You don’t think about such an important thing.
Just thinking about clothes and male to female ratio? "
When a group of princesses, princesses and ladies were discussing something they thought was important, Princess Huaiping was particularly clear-headed in pointing out the important points and roaring secretly.
"Is it so exaggerated?"
"Don't they all say that half of the Analects governs the world?"
"Please, do you have any brains? If half of the Analects of Confucius really rules the world, would they need to send us to study abroad? Times have changed. Now those magic tricks criticized by the old masters are the mainstream. The daughter country relies on It takes magic and cleverness to crush us..."
"But...but I've never been good at studying!"
"My mother said that it is virtue for a woman not to have talent."
"That's enough. I am the eldest princess. Everything from now on must be obeyed by me. Remember, our core purpose is to study here. We must learn as much as we can.
It is best to spend one or two years studying the five-year course, and then jump to the intermediate women's college or senior women's college. If possible, it is best to enter the women's graduate school, so that you can learn as much knowledge as possible , help His Majesty and your relatives. "
No matter what, they finally reached the same goal and officially reported to the school three days later to start their student careers.
The understanding of the Daughter Kingdom also started from a superficial understanding, and gradually gained some deeper understanding and recognition. For example, there is no such thing as male superiority and female inferiority in the world since ancient times. In ancient times, there were even matrilineal clans and many older tribes. Civilization still maintains this custom. For example, ancient surnames all had the radical "female", which is an important evidence.
Another example is that women in the Celestial Dynasty can be granted titles. In ancient times, there were even women who led troops in battles, presided over sacrifices, had fiefdoms and titles, and had the same status as princes and kings.
The existence of the Daughter Kingdom is to restore the ancient heritage, and it must even be more ancient than the ancient times, because now they have been suppressed so hard that their bones have been crushed and their spirits have been enslaved. Without a complete subversion, they will soon be It is difficult to emancipate the mind. It is easy to remove the shackles on the body, but it is difficult to change the shackles in the heart.
This is true even in today's daughter country.
For example, someone might say that you must have a son because there is a successor to the throne in your family. This undoubtedly means that deep down in the other person's heart, they still acquiesce that only sons can inherit the throne. Some deep-rooted things are difficult to change.
There is a long way to go!
After five years of this, the princesses, princesses and noble ladies who came to study abroad, let alone entered the women's graduate school, some even failed to pass the graduation exam of the junior women's college, so although they learned some knowledge, it was limited. It can only be said that I learned some basics.
But their thoughts and views.
But there have been earth-shaking changes.
I have to say, Xi Meng's mother, it still makes sense to choose neighbors. The environment does have a great impact on people. After staying in the Daughter's Kingdom for a long time, they are accustomed to feeling that many situations in the Daughter's Kingdom are normal.
Deep down, I was also very dissatisfied with some of the rules and conventions of Daqian. For example, why did the prince have a fiefdom and the princess did not? The prince's salary was three to five times that of the princess. The prince's title could be passed on to his eldest son. , other legitimate second sons, concubines, daughters, etc. also all have the title of king or princess. There can be a hundred children, but the princess can only get one at most.
The title of county lord is given to the daughter. If the daughter has more children, she may only get the position of county lord, and her assets will have to be recovered after her death.
And why can't they be officials, take the imperial examinations, be the masters of the family, or be the princess?
It can be said that in the past five years, they have not only increased their knowledge, but also their own ambitions, which will prompt them to fight for more rights.
And if they want to get more rights, they must get enough support. If they want to get enough support, they can't get it from those old stubborns and people who believe that men are superior to women. So after they go back, they can only unite. Let’s get up and jointly establish some women’s colleges to cultivate more like-minded people.
Work hard to accumulate strength and wait for Fengming.
