Chapter 390 Xu Jinyu was scolded
After hearing what Tian Xiaocao's parents said, the people in the village were so envious that they almost burst out with envy.
In just one year, he earned twenty taels of silver. This is not a one-time profit, and there may be more in the future. This is more than what two or three strong laborers can earn.
It turns out that girls do not only have the option of getting married and having children; there are other options.
Privately, these villagers began to wonder whether they should send their daughters to this women's vocational and technical school.
Look, you have twenty taels of silver in just one year. If you study for a few more years, you will become rich.
When the Women's Vocational and Technical School opened again this year, almost all the girls of school age in the village went to register.
It's not just this village. The women's vocational and technical school has achieved a lot of results this time, and many women have taken money back home.
The people saw the tangible financial returns, and as a result, not only the people in the capital were flocking to the Women's Vocational and Technical School, but even people from all over Daqian traveled across mountains and rivers to send their daughters to this school.
Making money is one reason. If there is good fortune coming out of one's ancestral grave and one's daughter is smart, one can get her an official position.
With such hope, countless women flocked to women's vocational and technical schools.
From this moment on, the status of women in Daqian finally underwent a fundamental change.
A daughter is no longer a money-loser, but someone who can bring benefits to the family.
This is also the result Xu Jinyu wanted. If you tell the ancient people that men and women are equal and that boys should not be favored over girls, people would think you are a lunatic if you shout out these slogans.
As long as there are tangible benefits, the people are willing to hold their daughters in their hands without Xu Jinyu shouting loudly.
After finally dealing with these newly developed technologies, Xu Jinyu finally had some free time to sit in the restaurant and drink tea.
In fact, it wasn't about drinking tea. How much love do you expect a young person to have for tea? Xu Jinyu lay in front of the window on the second floor, looking at the street scene below with great interest.
The peddlers who used to sell goods on the streets with loads on their shoulders now sell them on bicycles, and the more luxurious ones use tricycles.
There was also a stall selling matches on the street, as well as many milk teas, cold noodles, roasted sweet potatoes, and other things that shouldn't be here.
With a loud bang, the door of the box was pushed open. Without even turning back, Xu Jinyu said, "All we need now is a tram and a car. It will be a scene from the old days of the Republic of China."
The person who came in saw Xu Jinyu so comfortable and complained unhappily: "Do you have a conscience? I am almost annoyed to death by the people from the Women's Vocational and Technical School. A group of girls are chattering and I am embarrassed to chase them away. I can only deal with them."
"Hahaha·····"
Xu Jinyu couldn't help laughing.
The research conducted in the Women's Vocational and Technical School is all about rubber. Many places need rubber, but now Wei'an is the only place in the world that has rubber, and the output is not large.
If they wanted to use rubber, they could only go to Wei An. The daughters of officials would send invitations to Wei An, while the daughters of poor families would directly block Wei An on the road.
Poor Wei An had to sneak around on his way home from court every day, otherwise he would have no chance of returning home safely.
It's been a good show watching Wei An deal with those girls these days.
"I'm so good to you. You're the only one in this continent that has rubber. You just need to sell it slowly. It doesn't matter who you sell it to."
Wei An had no way to refute this, so he could only sit down on the chair, pour himself a cup of tea, and change the subject.
"Why did you think of asking me out?"
"It's nothing serious. I just wanted to show you the street view and what I accidentally made of Daqian."
Upon hearing this, Wei An imitated Xu Jinyu and lay down in front of the window.
Below is a prosperous scene, but the more you look at it, the less it looks like ancient times.
It doesn't look like modern times either, it's a complete mess.
Children were running around in the crowd, playing and fighting, vendors were doing business in full swing, and scholars were expressing their opinions passionately.
Then Wei An's expression became more and more strange, and he pulled Xu Jinyu and motioned her to look at those scholars.
The scholars were indeed passionate, but what they said...
"Your Majesty is really crazy. It's fine to appoint Prince An as an official, but why did you create so many female officials? Throughout history, how many women have served as officials?"
"What Queen An! How can a woman get those strange and exotic grain seeds and secret recipes? It must be a facade pushed by someone behind the scenes."
Xu Jinyu's eyes widened: I have offended these people, and they have even started to deny my own contributions.
"Not only does Prince An become an official himself, he also wants all women in the world to become officials like him. A group of women have been mixed up with men, and their innocence has long been lost. I wonder who will marry His Royal Highness Prince An in the future."
"Not only that, there is also the women's bank opened by Prince An. Women's money originally belongs to their husbands, and now these women's banks are almost everywhere in Daqian. A group of women are holding on to the money in their hands tightly and won't let go. We men can't do anything about it."
"I also heard that His Majesty intends to allow women to take the imperial examinations. It is already extremely difficult for men to take the imperial examinations alone. If women are included, how difficult will our road to the imperial examinations be?"
"laugh!"
A scholar sneered.
"A group of women, entering a cell and staying in the same room with men, how can they still be innocent? I wonder which woman would dare to take the imperial examination."
"Also, I went to Chunfeng Tower a few days ago, and a girl from Chunfeng Tower asked me about the process of the Tongsheng exam. How come she, a prostitute, wanted to take the Tongsheng exam and failed."
The scholar who was speaking had contempt for the woman in his eyes. He simply did not believe that a girl from a brothel could pass the examination for a student.
"Come on, come on, Brother Tang, tell us who this girl is, so we can go meet this ambitious girl."
The conversation that followed was heated, with much derogatory remarks about women, mixed with curses towards Xu Jinyu. Xu Jinyu didn't care at all and just rolled her eyes.
