Can you live forever

Chapter 385

Yongchun did not say that women cannot read books.

In fact, Jingshi University has already recruited girls, because Qinyuan's education is based on equality between men and women, so women accounted for one-third of the students who came out of Qinyuan.

Therefore, when enrolling students for the society, women can also enroll. The Ming Dynasty was open, and compared with the hesitation of scholars, women were more active in studying.

But outside of reading.

Why do women have to compete with men in everything?Farming means that men are stronger, moving bricks means men are more efficient, screwing screws in a factory must be men, and killing enemies on the battlefield is better than men.

These women also want to compete?

Normal life, the participation that should be participated, the help that should be helped, that's all.

The so-called equality between men and women means that yin and yang should return to their respective positions, and each should do what they are good at, which is the truth.

What Yongchun wants to do is to provide women with a place to study and a place to show themselves in the fields that women are good at in addition to their study life, so that their talents can get enough respect and status like men's talents .

Such as the Yangzhou skinny horse.

Buying a qualified woman, ten years of strict teaching, learning a unique skill, and finally becoming a canary for others, this kind of situation without freedom and unable to control the future has suffocated countless women.

If it is said that men can still gain fame and fame by virtue of the ten-year cold window, there is a way out.

Women from commoner families, no matter how good-looking and talented they are, can only be reduced to playthings. This is the tragedy of this era.

But the lady from a wealthy family is completely different.

For those wives who are being married by the media, the dowry is given by the man, and the dowry of the woman's family is at least doubled. The so-called red makeup is not the romance given by the man, but the woman's family background.

Because the dowry belongs exclusively to the wife, and the husband has no right to dispose of it.In case of divorce, the wife can go home with the dowry!
Generally speaking.

The dowry of the main wife is at least one-sixth of the entire family's assets, or even more. The so-called right family is not just a marriage, but a joint venture!
And the so-called eldest son inheritance system is actually in parallel with the Tweet Order!
The only thing the eldest son can inherit is his father's title, and after his father's death, all the children will share the property equally, no matter if he is a concubine, the difference between a prostitute and a concubine lies in marriage!
Such as bride price and dowry.

If the concubine does not give or gives less dowry, it means that there is no investment in the establishment of a new family, which means that he will not be able to marry a good wife, and if the concubine gets married and does not return enough dowry, it is tantamount to selling her daughter...

This is the difference between the concubine and the concubine, which is reflected in the fact that when the father is alive, and after the father dies, the sons will share the father's inheritance equally.

Why does the eldest son seem to get the most points?
Not only the father's support during marriage, but also the mother's dowry!This is the key!
In the eldest son inheritance system, what is inherited is not the father's family property at all, but the mother's dowry.Because the father's money is used on weekdays, and the mother's dowry has been increasing in revenue, and it will ebb and flow. When it is inherited, you can see the difference.

Upper decision decided by the economic background.

Since ancient times, husband and wife have been equal, so it is monogamy. Other things such as the existence of concubines and the inequality of concubines belong to class conflicts, not conflicts between men and women.

After understanding the core of marriage since ancient times, it is a joint venture, and then understand how miserable ordinary women are under this model.

Its fate is basically determined only by the family, not by personal factors.

It’s fine if you have no talent and no color, and the life of men farming and women weaving is considered stable, because the economic foundation laid by men farming and women weaving also determines the equality of wives and husbands.

But if it's a commoner woman with a bit of beauty and talent...

There is no need for high-ranking officials or dignitaries, or even landlords and lords, as long as there are ruffians and hooligans staring at them, the end will be unbearably bleak.

Princess Yongchun does not only care about the daughters of rich and noble families. What she wants to do is to give those ordinary women a path to ascend, let them display their talents, form a force, and then feed back the society. It is best to do it by teaching Fangsi's profits are used to maintain Daming's Sanatorium, Louze Hospital, and Huimin Pharmacy.

The nursing home is for the widowed and lonely.

Louzeyuan is a free cemetery and funeral.

Huimin Pharmacy is cheap medical care.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty was a high-welfare society. When the court was still operating normally, people would not starve to death. This is reflected in what Matteo Ricci and other Western missionaries wrote when they came to Daming.

They even said that those tramps and beggars could live in the nursing home and would not starve to death.

Say this is heaven.

But when the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to China, they said that this land was full of beggars, people were yellow and thin, and their eyes were numb. They stretched out their hands to pick up some leftovers dumped by the fleet, and they kowtowed and sang praises. The soldiers beat them with whips. , ignoring the wailing of the common people, arresting strong men to help the fleet, along the way, from the most affluent Jiangnan to the capital...

I have seen Daming, and I have seen Man Qing again.

It is the fundamental reason for the transformation of the Western concept of China.

During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty was still a prosperous age, and the people could still live in peace and well-being, let alone the Jiajing period. In these years, they worked hard to govern, and in terms of welfare, local governments dared not skimp on welfare, especially in the south.

In order not to send taxes to the capital, all of them are simply used for local welfare construction, leaving the capital with nothing to say.

When Princess Yongchun said that she would use Jiaofangsi as the starting point to completely eliminate prostitutes and give common women a way to rise, and then use profits to pay for the national welfare system.

Although Jiajing admired the style of his own sister, it was not an easy task.

"After the establishment of the Royal Bank, the currency was reformed. In the past few years, the taxes that were originally sent to the imperial court were directly intercepted by various places. No matter how much they were greedy, the 200 million taels of silver that should have been in the regular warehouse of the household department, On the bright side, they are all invested in the welfare system.”

"It is reform and simplification, and at least one million taels will be invested every year in the future."

"not to mention……"

"Judging from the current trend, not only will this part not be streamlined, but it will also become a battlefield for us and Nanjing to invite buyers, and the expenditure will only increase year by year."

"Don't talk about education and medical care, just nursing homes and Luze homes are not so easy to afford."

Jiajing quietly separated education and medical care, because this is not something that a certain institution can afford, and for the country, it must also be planned as appropriate.

Nursing homes are not responsible for the elderly.

Since ancient times, we have been "raising children for old age". Families naturally have the obligation to provide for the elderly. The nursing home is responsible for the widows, widows and lonely, the helpless elderly and children.

If it's just this part, it's still possible to do well.

As for Louzeyuan, because of funeral customs, everyone hopes to have a coffin, and no one wants to wrap it in a straw mat and throw it in a mass grave. Of course, as a cemetery, it doesn't need a good location, and I don't know how to search for dragons. Acupressure to find a yin house is just to let those helpless people have a place to return to when they die.

So the cost of this part is not big.

"Don't worry, Brother Emperor, if the women in the world can make a way, they will definitely burst out with amazing light." Yongchun is very confident.

Jiajing asked, "Do you want me to ban prostitution?"

Yongchun shook his head and said: "Now that they are banned, where will they go? Although I want to give women in the world a way to rise, but it is also to save those poor people. I have to wait for the longevity revolution of the emperor and Anping to have an effect." Now, the land equalization and exemption of tax have been completed, and the village community has formed an organization, so that there is a place to house those poor people."

Seeing that Yongchun was not whimsical, Jiajing stopped probing, but said with a smile: "Okay, I'll say hello to Qian Heng, and you can go to Jingshi University later to find some helpers."

"Those female students are all talents, and they can do things."

"Also, they have an organization called the Women's Federation, I think you can cooperate with them."

Jiajing was also quite happy to arrange helpers and directions for Yongchun, although Yongchun did not do much, it was just a supplement to the equality of men and women.

Again, the economic base determines the superstructure.

True equality must start from class, and women's productivity must be liberated in order to solve the equality problem.

What Yongchun wants to solve is only culture and art.

This is also very important, because Daming is not poor and rebuilt, but already rich, so there is no need to use women as men and men as livestock.

"What is good at the top will be effective at the bottom."

This not only refers to the effect brought about by higher status power, but also the effect of cutting-edge fields and head power.

If there are a group of women who really become those "great masters", be it poetry, poetry, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or in various fields, those masters will no longer be prostitutes who "would fight for their heads" but will become real artists. .

There is an organization that can integrate the influence of these people, and it has a role model and protection effect for women all over the world.

This influence can even extend to politics.

Only in this way can women's rights and interests be best protected.

……

Shangzhou.

People in Ming Dynasty were thinking about human rights and rights issues, while in Shangzhou, for many people, the most important thing was to survive, to survive wars, plagues, and famines.

When the first wave of plague mainly swept through the army, all the countries in Northern Shangzhou suffered heavy losses.

The Kingdom of Date lost a large number of young and middle-aged men, so that women had to wear armor to fight. Yiqiong returned by boat in early May, and did not reach the east coast of Shangzhou until mid-June and returned to the Kingdom of Date.

Yiqiong brought back many medicines from Daming, as well as dozens of doctors recruited by the imperial court.

Coupled with the help of the Plague Rat.

In just over ten days, it completely controlled the plague in the Kingdom of Date, and began to support the surrounding tribes, and actively communicated with the Maya, Aztec, and Inca countries.

at last.

At the beginning of July, Da Fangfeng and his clansmen who had recovered their combat power began to launch a counterattack against the Xiluo people. Because of the plague, the Date Kingdom was no longer just Cherokee people. Other tribes on the east coast also joined the Date Kingdom. The strong man added that Da Fangfeng organized an army of 10 people.

Because the route has been opened.

The Wang family said that before September, the first batch of strategic materials will arrive in Shangzhou. Not only the Wang family is helping with all their strength, but the Mojiao side is also helping.

After all, when the first emperor came back to life, they were going to run Shangzhou.

The follow-up supplies will be sufficient, but there is no need to wait until this time. After eliminating the impact of the plague and restoring combat effectiveness, in mid-July, Dafangfeng won a big victory.

Annihilated more than 5000 Xiluo pirates, captured more than [-] people, and broke through the proudest fortress of the Xiluo people, Wilmington City.

Da Fangfeng rode a dragon horse to the governor's mansion in Wilmington. The governor of Sibania was held down by two Cherokee warriors, their spears were crossed and locked on the back of the neck, and the governor was firmly pressed to the ground.

But the governor looked up, but he couldn't even see Da Fangfeng's body.

That was an unreasonable horse.

It is more than six meters tall, extremely robust, has dragon horns, and can even walk on the sea. This kind of dragon horse has surpassed the scope of normal horses, and it is matched with a unparalleled God of War.

It can only be described as terror on the battlefield.

"Why...there are such horses?" The governor expressed complete incomprehension.

Like the Great Fangfeng of the God of War, dragging the Overlord Spear in his hand on the ground, he paced his horse slowly and said, "Yiqiong went to Daming to ask for help, and I can't sit still."

"In Shangzhou, there are also legends about horses."

"But they have been extinct for a long time, almost 1 years ago, but I think there will always be some of them hiding in the deep mountains and old forests to escape the disaster."

"So, I went to the Rocky Mountains and found this... dragon horse."

A general with a horse and a general without a horse are two different things. When Da Fangfeng had a mount, the Governor already had a premonition that something was wrong, but he did not expect it to be so bad.

Indeed, the city of Wilmington has only 8000 troops, but its actual population is more than 2.

These days, doing business is all about armed transportation, not to mention this kind of relocation.

Basically armed colonization.

Under such circumstances, the governor thought that the city of Wilmington should be impenetrable. They have the most advanced weapons, and they bought many good guns and cannons in Zhoushan.

But, before they could attack much on the top of the city, Dafangfeng directly crossed the battlefield and shattered the city gate with one shot...

That's not all.

The small city was directly smashed through by the big Fangfeng, and another city gate was smashed.

The will to fight was quickly disintegrated. After the follow-up troops arrived, the resistance of the Xiluo people seemed a bit ridiculous. They held the most advanced weapons purchased from Zhoushan, but they were beaten to the ground by cold weapons.

As if this war god never gets tired, as if the dragon horse doesn't need to rest.

"Devil, you evil devil! The Lord will not let you go!" The governor was a little hysterical. He knew very well what kind of revenge he would have for killing many Yindi'an people.

He just doesn't understand.

Why is it that Shangzhou, which has been isolated for a long time, has obviously formed a weapon generation gap. They are holding the latest weapons from Ming Dynasty, but they are directly pierced by such a giant.
