Fast time travel: Cannon fodder female supporting role she quit

"It's fine if you set up a women's college, why do you want them to take the imperial examination? Do you know that the imperial examination has been a man's business since ancient times?" The minister was filled with righteous indignation. If every woman followed suit, would there be peace?
"Is there an explicit prohibition? Is there any law that clearly states that women are not allowed to take the imperial examination?" Lin Wan said lightly, "As far as I know, our Dayong's law did not clearly state that women are not allowed to take the imperial examination to enter the court. official."

"It's a convention that men are superior to women." The minister said loudly, "Women should be their husbands, and should not come out to show their faces."

"Since there are no explicit regulations, then why is my student wrong?" After a pause, "Does this lord think that women are inferior to men?"

"That's natural. Women should be at home with their husbands and children." The minister said confidently.

"No, I don't agree with what this lord said. Women from poor families can hold up half the sky. They can not only manage housework, but even go out to work. They are no weaker than men." He added, "Men come back from work. Just rest, but women also need to cook and do housework, so can it be said that men do not do as much as women? It is useless for women?"

"My lord says that men are superior to women, so at home, my lord is more honorable than your mother, so why don't you be filial to your mother?"

The minister immediately said, "How can it be confused with the same thing? Children should respect their parents."

"According to what your lord said, mothers need to be filial and respectful, which means that women are not humble. Otherwise, why should your lord be filial to your mother? That's the opposite of what your lord said about men being superior to women."

The adult's face was ashen, "Even so, it doesn't mean that women can come out and show their faces."

"My lord, do you think women don't have this ability?"

"That's right, otherwise, how could there be such a saying that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside?"

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Men work hard outside to earn money to support the family, while women at home are filial to their parents-in-law and take charge of internal affairs. There is a saying that men are in charge of outside and women are in charge of inside. If there is no woman to control at home, how can men work hard outside? In the adult's home Madam should also be taking care of the internal affairs at home, if there is no madam, might your lord be able to serve the court with peace of mind?"

"The male dominates the outside and the female dominates the inside, not because women don't have the ability, but because women dedicate themselves to the family. If they are given a chance, they will be no worse than non-worshippers. There has been a saying since ancient times As far as I know, the emperors of our neighboring country Xiyuan were women, and most of the officials who entered the court were women, but they also managed the country very well. Even the famous generals were women, which made the enemy Be terrified."

"Your Excellency, do you think our women from Dayong are inferior to those from Xiyuan?"

The minister's face turned green and pale, "It's nonsense."

Lin Wan laughed. This is typical because she just turned into anger from embarrassment. "I am still alone. Although I am a woman, I think I have made a lot of contributions to Dayong. I have paid the most taxes in Dayong. I have taught students. You have made achievements in all walks of life and helped them become better, can this adult recognize it?"

The scene was silent for a while. It was a fact that they could not refute. It was not only taxation, but also money and labor when there was a disaster. Papermaking, cement... many things that benefit the country and the people are provided by her.

They can't talk nonsense with their eyes open.

The emperor hurriedly said, "It's only natural. What Mrs. Lin did for Dayong, Dayong dare not forget."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, old man."

"I don't think that other women are worse than Laoshen. If they are given a chance, they will not be worse than anyone else."

"My lord said that it is immoral for old students to take the imperial examination?" After a pause, "May I ask that the old students did so poorly in the exam that they lost face?"

The ministers were silent for a while.

Where is the poor test.

That's because she did so well in the exam that she won the top prize. If she didn't do well in the exam, they might not know that someone would enter the exam room disguised as a man.

The emperor laughed again and said, "Mrs. Lin's words are wrong. Your student didn't do badly in the exam. On the contrary, he won the first prize." The emperor didn't have any opinion on this matter. He wanted those people to see if women could do better than men.

In recent years, women have obviously earned more money outside, and as far as he knows, they earn no less than men, and are even more capable than men.

If he wants to manage the country well, he can't stick to the distinction between men and women, and he welcomes all capable people.

But he needs a reason, a reason to use women.

Now this opportunity is very good, a bunch of men can't pass the test of a woman, it would be embarrassing to say it, but I have the nerve to say that men are superior to women.

But don't blame them for being old-fashioned, they have always felt that women are useless, and it is difficult for them to change.

"Since my student won the first place, does it mean that women's abilities are not inferior to men's?" Lin Wan glanced at the ministers present. The ministers wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. He talks, after all, this is his sister, doesn't he care?

The eldest brother of the Lin family pretended that he didn't see their eyes, and looked at Lin Wan with pride in his eyes. They couldn't understand, but he knew what the emperor was thinking. If he didn't want to be the No. [-] scholar, he would have accused him a long time ago. How can it be his little sister's turn.

"Do all the ministers have any opinions?" The emperor looked at them with a smile, and finally he could see that they were deflated, especially those officials, who were always remonstrating. He had seen them unhappy for a long time, and now they were speechless. Say it.

Deserve it.

"I pass on my decree, Rong Yan is the champion of the Jinke this time, Mrs. Lin has made great contributions to the country, and she is named the first-rank madam, and I don't have to bow down when I see you."

As soon as this news came out, the entire capital was blown up. They did not expect that this time the champion would be a woman. Many students refused to accept it, and could not believe that they had lost to a woman.

But no matter what they say, the decree has been made, it is an established fact.

The women's colleges, on the other hand, were beaming. They knew their chance had come.

"Teacher, thank you." Rong Yan kowtowed three times to Lin Wan. If it wasn't for the teacher, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Lin Wan helped her up, "All of this is your own efforts." He also urged, "As an official, you must do practical things for the people. Only when you make decisions for the people and take them to heart, will they hold you high. rise."

"Students remember the teacher's teachings." Rong Yan said solemnly.

Lin Wan said a few more words before leaving space for them. She knew that the fire had already started to burn, but it was up to them whether it would flourish.

Seeing the emperor's attitude today, she felt relieved a lot, at least the emperor supported her.

Since Rong Yan became an official in the court, more and more women took part in the imperial examinations, and their test scores were no worse than those of men. Seeing this situation, men also became nervous and studied harder.

In Lin Wan's later years, students who graduated from women's colleges participated in the imperial examination. There were three champions, five second places, and seven candidates.

The flame that Lin Wan ignited eventually started a prairie fire.

Lin Wan passed away at the age of 85. Her students cried bitterly on the day of her death and fainted for a while. On the day of her burial, many women spontaneously went to the street to see her off. What she did for Dayong was recorded in the history.
