Chapter 400: Women's Rise
Not to mention her family. Her eldest brother is already a marquis, and her two younger brothers are scholars before they were thirteen years old. They are powerful, rich, and handsome. They are all good men that are hard to find even with a lantern.

The most important point is that their family has a clean and upright tradition and they have no habit of taking concubines, which is a rare occurrence in this era.

Such a good family naturally attracts many noble ladies.

Shen Zhuoyun stroked his beard and looked at his increasingly outstanding child with a smile on his face.

He looked at Zhou Sizheng and asked, "Zheng'er, you are old enough to get married. What kind of girl do you like? Can you tell your mother and aunt?"

Zhou Sizheng was stunned, and his ears turned red instantly. A pretty figure appeared in front of him, and then he shook his head. He had only glanced at her quickly that day, and he didn't even know her name or who she was from. It would be frivolous to say it out loud.

"Uncle, I have no plans to get married yet."

Shen Zhuoyun glared at him and said, "Nonsense! You have reached adulthood this year and you should start a family and a career. Jiaer will marry His Highness next month and Haoer will marry at the end of the year. As the eldest brother, how can you be so embarrassed to fall so far behind them?"

Shen Hao and Wei Xuanxuan's marriage had been arranged long ago. While they were fighting in the northern border, they had completed the six rituals of paying the betrothal gifts and the only things left were the date selection and the wedding procession.

Zhou Sizheng is one year older than Shen Hao, and he hasn't even seen the shadow of his fiancée yet. It will take forever to complete the six rituals. As his uncle, Shen Zhuoyun is worried about him.

Zhou Sizheng didn't want to go against Shen Zhuoyun, so he looked at Shen Jia eagerly, hoping that Shen Jia could say something good for him.

Shen Jia blinked at him and said to Shen Zhuoyun, "Dad, Xiao Yichen and I, my elder brother and sister Xuanxuan, we all fell in love with each other a long time ago and got married because we had a certain emotional foundation.

My eldest cousin is only 20 years old this year, he is not too old, there is no need to rush him to get married. Marriage can only be happy if you meet the right person at the right time. "

Zhou Sizheng nodded his head: "Sister, you are right. You can only live happily if you meet the right person."

Shen Zhuoyun sighed softly: "Forget it! You have grown up and have your own ideas. I can't force my ideas on you. However, if you meet a girl you like, tell us so that we can come to propose marriage."

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

Shen Zhuoyun nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Gu and asked, "How is Jiaer's dowry being prepared?"

"It's almost ready. The 128 loads of dowry are packed full."

Shen Jia had just returned and had no time to care about the dowry: "Mother, you won't give me all the gifts from the Emperor, the gifts from Xiao Yichen, as well as the restaurant, winery, theater, clinic, etc., right?"

Gu held her hand and nodded: "Our family can have the good life today, all because of you. Except for the Jingjiao Granary and Yunshang Pavilion, everything else will be your dowry."

Shen Jia shook his head and refused: "No, that won't work. If I give them all to my brother and younger brothers, where will they get the betrothal gifts when they get married in the future? How about this! I don't want the jewels that Grandfather Emperor gave me and the ones I brought back from Mount Panyun last time. I'll give you Zuixianlou..."

"No." Before Shen Jia could finish her words, Shen Zhuoyun and Gu interrupted her.

"Jia'er, Dad and Mom have made a lot of money writing novels over the years. We bought several shops to rent out, and we also have Yunshang Pavilion. We also have Wanmu Grain Store in the suburbs of Beijing. We sell tomatoes, peppers, sunflower seeds, and peanut oil over the years..."

Gu listed the ways his family made money, and at the end he proudly said that his family had more than 300,000 taels of silver in savings, more than ten shops, five farms, and so on.

Shen Jiawei lowered her eyelids, silently calculating how much property she had. She was shocked to find that all her properties added up to at least six million taels of silver. It was incredible.

Seeing that her parents were determined not to take her property, Shen Jia let them do what they wanted. It would be the same if she gave it to her elder brother and younger brother when they got married. After the emperor announced his abdication, he left all matters to Xiao Yichen.

As Xiao Yichen issued his orders one by one, the entire Great Zhou was in an uproar.

First, Jinyiwei were added to every county town. Anyone who committed such bad deeds as bullying others, bullying the market, bullying men and women, etc. could go directly to Jinyiwei to file a complaint.

Next is the Invention and Innovation Conference held in Beijing at the end of the year. Whether you are a craftsman or an ordinary citizen, as long as you have innovative inventions, you can participate, and many people are eager to show their skills.

In addition, starting next year, women will also be able to take the imperial examinations. This policy will greatly improve the status of women.

Women can become officials, divorced women can register their own household, widows are encouraged to remarry, and men who beat women and children can even be sentenced in serious cases.

Civil and military officials strongly opposed Xiao Yichen's decree, and one censor even threatened Xiao Yichen to revoke his order by banging his head against a pillar.

In their concept of male superiority and female inferiority, women are regarded as appendages of men, women's virtue lies in their lack of talent, women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, and should not go out and show their faces in public, etc.

They were afraid that once women rose to power, they would not be able to use feudal moral norms such as the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues to restrict women's freedom and power, and would not be able to require them to be faithful to one man.

Xiao Yichen simply ignored their protests. When they were exhausted from talking, Shen Jia finally walked out leisurely from behind the Golden Throne Hall.

She crossed her arms and looked at the civil and military officials who were fiercely opposing her, and snorted coldly, "Who says that weak women can't take responsibility? This princess tells you that women can also hold up half the sky.

Female generals can also gallop on the battlefield, swing swords and kill enemies, just as good as men. For example, this princess, for example, the female medical team, who dares to say that we are worse than men?

Women are like water. In the coldest days of winter, even the softest water will freeze three feet thick.

Women are like dodder flowers, so soft that they cannot bear any weight. But after thousands of trials and tribulations, even the softest silk can be tempered into steel.

Women are not born to live a life of crying and following men.

As long as we create a fair and just development environment for women and allow them to give full play to their potential and talents, women will also have strong power to bring benefits to the progress and development of the Great Zhou..."

Shen Jia spoke in rapid succession, and all the civil and military officials below were stunned and could not recover for a long time.

After a long while, an official wanted to jump out to object, Shen Jia smiled and said: "Anyone of you who thinks you are better than this princess can object."

Threat, this is a blatant threat!
Who in the world dares to compete with the Protector of the Country Princess? The taxes paid by the three counties of the fiefdom are twice as much as those of the three states of the King of Ping. It was she who discovered and promoted high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, peanuts, and potatoes throughout the country. She made paper, printing, and cement. She invented the bomb. She and His Highness led the troops to conquer the Mengwu Province. The most profitable business is hers. She was the one who brought down the King of Qi and the King of Jin...

Civil and military officials silently counted Shen Jia's great achievements in their hearts. The more they counted, the more shocked they became. Their faces turned the same as a color palette. Finally, they came to the conclusion that Shen Jia was a monster and no one could compare to him, including their Crown Prince.

If they dare to say anything about her, the spit of the people all over the world will drown them.

Several elderly ministers had red faces and blood stuck in their throats. They took several deep breaths to prevent themselves from vomiting blood.

If they dare to vomit blood on the spot, they will probably be finished with their official hats.

In the end, no matter how unhappy the civil and military officials were, they dared not object.
