Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Again on Women's Liberation

"The rock path in Hanshan is slanted, and there are people in the depths of the white clouds. I park the car and sit in the maple forest at night, and the frost leaves are redder than the flowers in February."

This is Du Mu's poem "Riding in the Mountain".

This poem comes to mind by Yang Ai.

This poem "Maple Forest" is connected with "love". If you want to say "Yang Ai", it is also a bit overwhelming.

The reason why she blushed was that when she was in the yard, the sisters distorted this seven-character quatrain that described and praised the scenery of the mountains and forests in late autumn as a erotic poem. Especially the third sentence was explained by those wave hooves.

"The emperor is so elegant, how could he have such dirty thoughts? The purpose of giving this word is probably because it is connected to the word "Love", and the other is to use a masculine character, which is easy to call it. After all, I often serve in the Qinzheng Hall in the future, and letting the emperor call a feminine name all day long, which is indeed indecent." Yang Aixin said.

How could she know that Zhu Youlang was full of bad water and took the word "Maple Forest" as the basis of the previous two words.

Boring people in later generations explained many good poems, and this poem "Shift in the Mountain" is naturally included.

"Fenglin, Kou Mei, today I have completely cut off Jirgalang's hope. I guess he will retreat as soon as possible if he does not surrender. In other words, peace in Guangzhou will come soon. I hope you can calm down, forget the past, and follow me to start a great cause, which is also considered to be a matter of living up to your youth." Zhu Youlang said seriously.

"Yes, I obey the order." Yang Ai bowed and agreed.

"Emperor, Sister Yang has become a female official and can serve Wen Mo. I am just good at singing and dancing and have no other skills. What can I do?" Kou Mei asked.

"Kou Mei, you don't have to be inferior. I have already thought about it. When the war comes, I want you to take the lead and set up a singing and dancing troupe."

"Singing and Dance Troupe? Emperor, is it the Jiaofangsi?" Kou Mei immediately thought of the Jiaofangsi when he heard the three words of the Song and Dance Troupe, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Jiaofangsi, who doesn’t know that it is a royal brothel? Is the emperor trying to get back to my old career?

"No, no, no, you understand it wrong. I want women and will not do things that oppress women. I must ban the dirty places that exploit women like brothels. The song and dance troupe I mentioned are purely an art group."

"I know that for a long time, music and dance have become a special service for the nobles. People who engage in music and dance are all inferior to others. It is important to know that there is nothing wrong with singing and dancing. It can cultivate sentiment, vent emotions, and give people a beautiful enjoyment. When the people are tired and tired of working, they still have to yell and stretch. What is the crime of singing and dancing? What are the inferiority between singers and dancers?"

"The reason is that people are divided into different levels, which leads to the complete mistake of the subjects of singing and dancing services."

"I have established a singing and dancing troupe, and serve all the people. I can go to the army, factories, and rural areas to perform, and no longer serve the upper class alone."

"Of course, the prerequisite is to abolish the hierarchy of people. All our people in Daming are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low."

"Kou Mei, I asked you to set up a singing and dancing troupe and treat it as a government office under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and everyone has a salary to support the family."

Zhu Youlang has had this idea for a long time, and he never thought of telling Kou Mei so early.

But when Kou Mei asked today, he said it.

In his opinion, this is not a simple question, which involves many issues that need innovation. Of course, the key is the conceptual issue of the upper class, especially the scholars.

In Zhu Youlang's view, his prestige will reach a peak after defeating Jirgalang. He must take advantage of this opportunity to introduce reform measures.

If what he expected was not bad, after he proposed reform measures, there would be opposition voices in the court, but it would not be very loud. The main opposition force was still among the people, so that everyone could change their original concepts in a very short time, which would be almost impossible.

Even if you have your own support, you may encounter great obstacles.

Of course, the candidate for the first leader of the song and dance troupe is also very important.

This person must have certain talents and the courage to show up. More importantly, it requires this person to have the courage to challenge secular concepts.

In Zhu Youlang's view, such a key position was tailor-made for Kou Mei.

Kou Mei was born into a famous prostitute, but he was different from a small family. He was very talented and it was common for him to show up.

Now it depends on whether she has the courage to challenge secular concepts.

...

Sure enough, after listening to Zhu Youlang's long speech, neither Yang Ai nor Kou Mei answered for a while.

It's too difficult for nothing else, just for what he said.

When brothels are banned, everyone is equal. The singing and dancing troupe is a yamen, and the service targets are no longer the only ones who are noble...

Which of these things can be done easily? The emperor is going to oppose secular concepts that have been around for thousands of years.

Are these things considered good things? It is a great thing for Yang Ai and Kou Mei, and even for all women, and for all those who engage in lowly careers.

But will those men who hold heavy power and have huge amounts of money agree? If they cause trouble, can the emperor suppress it?

After pondering for a long time, Yang Ai and Kou Mei digested the shock caused by the emperor's words for a while. Yang Ai asked: "Your Majesty, I have something unknown. Why do you want to liberate women? Isn't it good to maintain the status quo?"

Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "Fenglin, this is a good question, it's considered to be the root of the question. I will solve your doubts for you today."

"The reason why I want to liberate women is mainly the following three considerations. First, liberating women is conducive to the balance of yin and yang. The lonely yin does not grow, and the lonely yang does not grow. Only the balance of yin and yang can all things grow. A man's society is an incomplete society and an undying society. Women are also human beings, and under the same conditions of education, they are not worse than men. Second, it is the current and future social production needs. You should know that after the implementation of my new land policy, the landlords will not plant it themselves.

The land will return the land to the farmers. They have accumulated a lot of wealth themselves. Where will these wealth go? Workshops and businesses will definitely be popular. Today's workshops are still mainly textiles, and female textile workers are more suitable than male workers. This is determined by the physiological characteristics of men and women. Of course, there will be more work suitable for women in the future. Third, the ratio of men and women is now unbalanced, and there are more men and women. If women are not liberated from the family, it will affect their recuperation and recuperation, and the development of society will be very slow."

There are many new words in Zhu Youlang's words, some of which can be replaced by other words, while others cannot find a replacement.

Therefore, although Yang Ai and Kou Mei are very smart, they are difficult to fully understand for a while.
