Chapter 689 Improve the status of women

Wu Changqing wanted to take this opportunity to improve the status of women, set up a women's college, and force girls to enter the school to learn knowledge like boys.

As for girls over the age of fourteen, it is not compulsory, and they are allowed to choose freely.

This decree, Wu Changqing is expected to be opposed by the ministers.

The reason is also very simple. If women have knowledge and talents, their need for dependence on men will decrease and their status will increase.

The rising status of women naturally means that the relative status of men will decline.

Nowadays, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all men, and Wu Changqing's actions are harming the interests of the officials.

To give the simplest example, a woman who has no culture and cannot support herself, but is very beautiful, these ruling classes can easily get her hands and play with her.

Because these women lost their men and couldn't live on their own.

And if the woman has read books and has independent thoughts, then they will certainly not be so easy to succumb to become a concubine.

With the ability to support themselves, they also don't have to rely on men to support themselves.

This damages the interests of men, and men are certainly not willing to agree.

As for what morality, respect, these are bullshit.

People are selfish, and it is too difficult to respect others without meeting their own needs.

The promotion of the status of women in later generations did not depend on the morality and respect of men, but on their own hands to earn money through hard work.

Those women who are unable to support themselves, even in the age of equality between men and women on the surface, still have little status at home.

Before Wu Changqing crossed over, he had a question.

Why in the 1960s and 1970s, marriage was a union without emotional foundation, but there were still very few people who got divorced.

In the 21st century, the elements of love are rampant. Most of the people who get married are the result of love, and the divorce rate is terrifying.

As a result, an old man in the village woke him up with a single word.

In the words of the old man, how could a woman in the past dare to get a divorce? If she is divorced, she has no factory to work, and she has no land. How can she live?

No matter how badly he was beaten, he had to endure it.

In the 21st century, anyone with hands and feet can support themselves.

If so, why bother?

The status of women is often proportional to the value they can create. At least, that's how it looks on the whole.

If Wu Changqing wants to improve women's abilities now, it is bound to give them the ability to create greater value and get rid of their dependence on men.

In the current Dahua, there are actually such women, but they are only a few, the ruling class will not care, anyway, there are still many women who are incompetent for them to enjoy.

Wu Changqing wants to set up a women's college so that the vast majority of women will become such people, then the other ruling classes will definitely not be happy.

By then, the days when they wanted to manipulate women at will will be gone forever.

Regardless of whether the ministers agree or not, Wu Changqing will implement this policy.

After all, not allowing women to study and learn skills is really the biggest waste of population resources.

According to the ratio of one to one male to female, if the potential of these 50 to 60 million women is stimulated, the energy that can burst out is terrifying.

Waiting for the current children to grow up too slowly, Wu Changqing had to rely on these female laborers.

The ministers will probably not agree, and Wu Changqing can use the draft as a quid pro quo.

Unless you agree to open a women's college, you won't agree to the draft.

For the emperor's sake, Wu Changqing thought it was funny.

The next day, he convened the cabinet for a small high-level meeting.

The issue is, of course, the draft and the opening of a women's college.

"For those beautiful girls who run for the election, a condition must be added. They must be both talented and beautiful. It is not enough just to be beautiful. They must be knowledgeable. Moreover, they must also be those new-style knowledge, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and talent.

Well, in short, an exam is added, and those who fail to meet the standard will be eliminated. "

Wu Changqing said.

He can set up a women's college with the next decree, but how to attract those women to take the initiative to enroll?

After all, in this era, women are virtuous without talent. If you are good for them, they may not appreciate it.

Therefore, Wu Changqing added this requirement in order to play a leading role in the world.

Let others know that you are fine with it.

If you want to be a concubine in the palace, study hard first, girl.

In this way, it is natural to attract a group of women to study hard.

More importantly, as an emperor, Wu Changqing is a benchmark.

People with great influence can have a huge impact on others with their every move.

The emperor likes literate women, do other ministers have the nerve to marry the illiterate again?

When these high-class people are all vying for literate women, those people will definitely follow suit.

This is the same as drinking a cup of coffee for a rich person, which can make ordinary people feel that drinking coffee is a force.

As long as this ethos is brought up, it becomes a necessary requirement for women to study.

At that time, it will be the norm for women to study.

And women have studied and learned, and they can take up more jobs.

.

With talented women, they will definitely not be reconciled to their husbands and children for the rest of their lives. They will also take the initiative to find things to do and realize their life value.

In this way, these population resources can be fully liberated.

In the future, Wu Changqing will also allow women to be officials.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve equality between men and women, and we can only do it towards that goal. If there is progress, it is enough, but it does not necessarily have to be completely achieved.

"This, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Tang Ruowen said helplessly.

Serious woman, who would go to learn the kind of knowledge of physical chemistry.

Wu Changqing's taste made him very melancholy.

However, the emperor is good at this, he can't do anything, he can't force the emperor to change his appetite, he doesn't have the guts yet.

Don't say that Wu Changqing's preference is normal, even if the emperor is a pervert who likes young children, they can only open one eye and close one eye.

In previous history, it is not that there is no emperor like this.

"It didn't say how many points they would be required to take the test, and they were selected based on the best. First select the beauties, then let the beauties take the test, and pick the ones with the highest scores."

Wu Changqing said.

"A well-informed, literate person is usually more polite, and His Majesty's request is reasonable."

Gu Yanwu said.

Since Wu Changqing is willing to agree to the draft, that is the best result, and there is no need to worry about such trivial matters.

If you make the emperor unhappy and don't choose one sentence, then everyone will cry to death.

So, since the emperor likes it, let's take the test.
