Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"The female officers of the Beijing Women's Federation Association are selected through examinations. The selection of female officers of other city and county branches is naturally based on the standards of the capital." Zhaoping glanced at her and replied.

"I wonder if the princess can tell you something about the content of the examination? If we strictly follow the standards of the male imperial examination, we may not be able to select many qualified talents in Fu'an." Mrs. Qin suddenly felt a little more uneasy.

She is also a noble daughter of an aristocratic family, so she is naturally familiar with poetry and books, and is also good at taking care of general affairs and accounting.

But if she was asked to take part in the men's imperial examination, she was not sure at all. After all, men and women have read different books since childhood, and the knowledge points involved are completely different.

“The affairs managed by our Women’s Association are different from those of imperial officials, so naturally we will not select female officials according to the standards of men’s imperial examinations.

The content of the test questions is based on the purpose of the Women's Association, and the candidates must be familiar with the various rules set by the saints.

The duty of the Women's Association is to supervise people's observance of rules. Female officials naturally need to understand all kinds of rules, and at the same time they need to understand Daxi's laws and regulations.

In view of the fact that women in the world read different books than men, most women only learn things like accounting and so on.

As for the rules that the king, ministers, people, and husbands should abide by, it is not very clear, let alone being familiar with the laws of the court.

To this end, our policy is to open a branch first, then put up recruitment notices, and recruit those who are interested in running for female officers to study for three months.

Three months later, there will be another assessment and admission will be based on merit. The lowest standard is passing.

The number of female officers in the Fu'an Women's Association branch is tentatively determined to be five to six. Once qualified, they will be formally entered into the establishment, assigned grades, and given salaries and official uniforms. " Zhao Ping said.

"Madam has recruited us, but she wants us to be responsible for opening the association first and then issuing recruitment notices?" Ms. Qin asked again.

"I do have this idea. If you two are willing to cooperate, if not, I won't force it." Ruan Qing nodded.

"I am very happy to do this, but there is one question. I would like to know if there are any other restrictions on participating in the selection of female officers? Such as age, status, etc.?" Qin continued to ask.

"Anyone who is under the age of forty and can't read and write can give it a try." Ruan Qing said.

"Great, I'm still five years away from turning forty, so I can still run for election, and so can Qingzhu.

To be precise, Qingzhu is more suitable than me. She is young, strong and courageous, and has outstanding talents and learning. The most important thing is that she is familiar with Daxi's laws.

If it hadn't been for that... I would have given her the body contract right away, and she would be free from now on. "Qin's face was full of joy.

Qingzhu came to her when he was fourteen, and it has been eight years now. In these eight years, he has helped her deal with many difficult things and helped her.

Although the two of them were servants of the master, Mrs. Qin had already regarded her as a relative.

"Madam." Qingzhu's nose felt slightly sore upon hearing this.

After the family suffered a disaster, she was lucky to have a master like her.

Mrs. Zheng was dumbfounded. A maid could only read poems and books, but she actually knew the laws of the court?

Are all people these days so diligent?

A smile appeared in Ruan Qing's eyes. This Qin family did not disappoint her.

The person she really liked was Qingzhu. After investigation, she found that Qingzhu was a rare talent.

Ever since I had the idea of ​​opening a women's association here, I planned to train Qingzhu to be the general person in charge of the women's association here.

If Mrs. Qin does not allow Qingzhu to come forward because she is her maid, then Mrs. Qin will not be able to enter the Women's Association.

"What do you think, Mrs. Zheng? Would you like to work with Mrs. Qin to put out the sign of the Women's Association branch first?" Ruan Qing quickly turned his attention to Mrs. Zheng who was in a daze.

"I am willing, but I may not be able to pass the test as a female officer." Mrs. Zheng came to her senses and spoke quickly.

She has her own affairs, and her temperament is a bit soft. If she were to be a female official, she might not be able to control people.

In addition, according to Princess Zhaoping's description, the exam for female officials is not that easy to pass.

"It doesn't matter, you and Madam Qin will take the lead in the early stage and just start the branch first. I have a special status and it's hard for me to show up.

As for whether you want to participate in the selection of female officers, you can choose according to your own wishes.

Of course, I won’t let your help go free in the first few months, and the remuneration you should pay will not be less. Ruan Qing said.

"No, no, no, there is no need for reward. I didn't even have time to repay you for saving my mother and son's life.

Besides, the Women's Association is of great significance. Although the minister's knowledge is limited, she also knows how significant its teachings will be to the world once it is promoted throughout the country, especially to those women who have no other way out. "Ms. Zheng waved her hands hurriedly.

"I, like Mrs. Zheng, it is a great honor to be able to participate. I hope you will not mention the reward again.

If we can successfully pass the assessment in three months and become official female officers and receive your salary, I will gladly accept it. "Ms. Qin followed.

She was not short of money at all, and the dowry was quite large when she got married.

Coupled with nearly twenty years of management, the combined income and income of each Zhuangzi shop is already considerable.

Because of her meritorious service in exposing her husband, the Queen Mother did not touch any of her personal property, and all of it was transferred to her name intact.

"Okay, you can choose a suitable place to come out in the past two days.

The location of the Women's Association branch should not be too remote, but it should not be located in an area that is too lively or prosperous.

Try to choose a place where common people and gentry and nobles can go.

The area should not be too small, nor too large. It should cover an area of ​​about 200 to 300 square meters. It is best to choose the kind of shop that can be opened by just cleaning it up. Let Zhaoping follow you to choose a house in the past few days. "

After talking about business, everyone started chatting about Fu'an's customs and customs. They chatted for nearly two hours before going back.

Back at the inn, Ruan Qing called Zhao Ping over and asked, "Zhaoping, when will Yang Junyao arrive?"

She is going to Jiangnan and has no time to stay here for a long time. Zhaoping has to go to Jiangnan with her.

If you want to open a branch in Fu'an, in addition to a few local people who are important and trustworthy, you also need to send someone with experience and control over the situation to guide them. Yang Junyao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

"It will probably arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I received a letter from her flying pigeon the day before yesterday, saying that she set off three days ago." Zhaoping said.

The distance from Beijing to Fu'an is less than four hundred miles. Even if it's not fast, it can be reached by horse-drawn carriage in four or five days.

"The manpower is a bit lacking. You, Que Qi, and Jun Yao have all come out, and only Yan Ran and Cui Yu are left in the capital. I don't know if they can hold the crowd down.

Since ancient times, there have been many talented women in the south of the Yangtze River. I hope that our trip to the south of the Yangtze River can discover some outstanding talents. " Ruan Qing sighed.

"My grandma is here in the capital, don't worry.

We really need to start building talent reserves as soon as possible. The Beijing Women's Association has made sufficient preparations in the early stage. Everyone selected can take charge of their own affairs. With the support of you and my mother-in-law, the work has been so smooth that I have hardly experienced any difficulties.

After coming out, I realized that I was too optimistic and wanted to open a women's association all over Daxi. Putting aside everything else, the selection of female officers alone was very difficult. "

"We can't rush this, we can only take our time. By the way, what are your thoughts on the opening promotion of the Fu'an branch?" Ruan Qing asked.

"I have thought about it for a long time. I am going to compile the purpose of the Women's Association into an easy-to-understand jingle, and then invite the best storytellers and lion dancers in the city.

On the opening day, let them walk along the streets and alleys, use gongs and drums to clear the way, and then spread the word through storytellers. " Zhao Ping said with a bit of cunning.
