The most important one is that there is no restriction on men and women, and all of the appropriate age are welcome.
Things that were ordinary and commonplace in later generations caused an uproar in this era.
It is virtue for a woman to have no talent, which seems to have eliminated the status of women in ancient times.
Actually it's not the same at all.
There are actually many women who can enjoy education. The rich and powerful ones can at least read and write.
The main issue is employment.
If you study, there are no employment opportunities, and you cannot bring income to your family, then people will not have the desire to invest at all.
It is necessary for a big family to have a man take charge of the outside and a woman take charge of the house. It would not be a waste to learn some knowledge.
For ordinary people, there is no need at all. Apart from making money to support the family, the overall responsibility is just to keep the house in order.
Or knowledge is useless.
You must know that the employment opportunities for many scholars are very narrow. If a woman takes the exam again, there will basically be no way for them to survive.
Therefore, it is not that women’s status is low, nor is it that women’s education is useless. In short, it is that employment opportunities are not guaranteed.
There is even a special arrangement for the male protagonist to be outside and the female protagonist to be inside. The arrangement of female virtues is to prevent women from getting involved.
Although it is a bit one-sided, the pattern of strong men and weak women has always existed. Even in later generations, men and women are equal, but men are still dominant in high positions. This is an indisputable fact.
Zheng Xiong's large-scale move to open schools for both men and women was really hard to understand, which is why it aroused a huge response.
Based on the understanding that studying is useless, no matter how much a woman learns, it is useless if she does not have a good job. It is better to stay at home and have more people to help, so most of them are just discussions without much feeling.
Most of the people in the court were watching the excitement. The Huaixi faction represented by Hu Weiyong also watched the excitement and did not think it was a big deal. They even guided public opinion to the worst side based on this.
The subsequent public opinion was almost one-sided, insinuating that Zheng Xiong did not consider reality.
Lao Zhu didn't care. She was from a lower class background, and Queen Ma was also a good wife. Just like ordinary people, she was even afraid of his wives like the Anhui men of later generations.
Perhaps the Anhui people of later generations were also greatly influenced by Lao Zhu!
The only one who felt relieved was Queen Ma and a group of women.
But Zheng Xiong is kind-hearted, and Empress Ma also understands that as long as employment cannot be solved, it is just empty talk.
Although Queen Ma was depressed, she still pulled Lao Zhu and said some kind words to Zheng Xiong, to the effect that Lao Zhu should not interfere.
Lao Zhu was noncommittal, didn’t say anything, and wouldn’t say anything!
The question is that Zheng Xiong is a talent, and that alone is enough.
Then there is no more.
Lao Zhu is the biggest, and Zheng Xiong is in a high position. As long as Lao Zhu doesn't give instructions, nothing will happen.
Time moves forward slowly amidst the doubts and does not move according to anyone's will.
One day, all doubts came to an end.
"The Medical Marquis has ordered that all yamen, pharmacies, and printing plants in Yingtian Mansion, including the yamen themselves, will recruit new personnel in the future. Those who are excellent in academics and academics in the elementary school built by the yamen will be admitted, regardless of gender."
"Including but not limited to government offices, Yingtian government offices have reached agreements with 150 merchants in the government."
"Among them are the shops owned by Mr. Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, and various industries owned by the wealthy Qin family, etc."
"The notice is here, it's all there. If you want to know, you can read it."
"In addition, reading and writing is only one aspect. All parties do not need much, and they can be competent in some record-keeping work."
"There are some things that all parties need to count. Some jobs require more in-depth work, and the future talents set up by the Marquis all need to study in depth."
"As long as you succeed in the school assessment, you can immediately work in various places. There are no restrictions on men and women, and the salary is generous."
"There are all kinds of things, please enjoy watching."
Here comes the point, nothing else matters, only this one is enough.
There was a moment of silence, and then some people left silently.
Then more people reacted and left in a hurry.
The opportunity to reach the sky in one step is right in front of you. In the past, there was no other way. The tuition fee alone was difficult for many ordinary people.
Now there is no tuition and all that is needed is food three times a day.
The thinking of civilians is very realistic. In the past, thousands of troops and horses crossed the single-plank bridge, either to reach the sky in one step, or to just dig food in the fields.
There are not so many unrealistic ideas.
Now that Zheng Xiong's notice comes out and there are more choices, the result will be different.
The group of children who just came out in the past three years have all become teachers and are paid a salary. This is a role model!
The power of role models sometimes exerts a huge influence invisibly.
"Quickly, bring your and my ID cards. A private school is recruiting students today. Send the third and fourth children there to enroll."
"Why did you suddenly decide? Our family's life has just gotten better. The family made some money riding on Mr. Hou's success two years ago. It seems that there will be a lot of work in the next year. If we work hard as a family, maybe we can make the boss The family business with the second child has been earned."
"If we let the third and fourth children go to private school, wouldn't it be a waste of two people's labor?"
"Besides, they are not young anymore. What can they learn if they are sent to study? Master, listen to me and forget it!"
A woman talked to a man for a long time, her words were full of persuasion and she had her own considerations.
But men don't care about her at all. The majesty of the head of the family cannot be doubted.
His face was straight.
"Women's kindness, where are the third and fourth sons? Let them come back quickly and leave now."
"Lao Wu... Lao Wu... let this girl Lao Wu be sent too!"
The man hesitated a little, but then he became determined.
The woman glanced at the man and saw that he had made up his mind and had no choice.
can only be said.
"They may still be in the river. I'll call them."
After saying that, the woman left.
The man waited at home for a long time, and his two sons and a girl just arrived belatedly.
The man didn't care to say anything more, picked up his ID card and left with his family.
The same scene happened everywhere in Beijing.
Either actively or passively.
As the news spread, one or two of the boys at home were sent away, along with many little girls.
There were huge crowds of people, and there was a lot of buzz.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiong's primary school built enough at once, otherwise it might not be able to accommodate so many people.
Nowadays, the crowding phenomenon is inevitable, and Zheng Xiong has no good solution.
Next to an elementary school, Zheng Xiong quietly touched and observed it, leaving behind many memories.
Once upon a time, I was one of them.
The happy time was short-lived after all.
Looking back, I see that I have grown up.
After sighing for a while, Zheng Xiong quietly left.
Elementary school students, enjoy these difficult but memorable years!
"Wang Fucheng, is there anything important that you have to do during this new year? If there is anything, please tell me immediately and arrange it as soon as possible."
"There are so many things to do this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to schedule them if it's late."
