428. Women's School

Luo Yong has returned to Beijing for less than a year and has made many big moves.

The method of promoting biogas tanks can be considered beneficial to the country and the people, and it does not harm the scholar-official class. At most, the dim lights are no longer the patent of the upper class, and the poor can afford to light the lights.

Later, he tried his best to promote the establishment of engineering and science, and even set up an extremely workshop himself, recruiting many women in it, which many people in Chang'an called "female engineering".

Although he is a bit unique, he is only in the craftsmanship class after all. In addition, everyone is really looking forward to the kind of machine he promoted in the court that can realize textiles by just burning fire, so he did not stop his behavior.

But this coffin board doesn’t know how to stop when it’s good. Now I’m going to start a primary school in Chang’an City again!

Although these aristocratic families claim to be naturally noble and social management, they are born superior to others, and are highly qualified people with culture, vigilance and high quality.

But as long as people with a little clear mind, they should know very clearly that there are many talented and firm will among the poor. It would be very difficult to let their children compete with the civilian class with such a large base.

So Luo Yong's proposal to build a large-scale primary school in Chang'an City this time was greatly rebounded in that court.

Luo Yong said that since the Tang Dynasty obtained the Sixth Valley in the early years, the grain output in various places has been rising steadily. Later, sweet potatoes were obtained. This thing is extremely drought-resistant and has grown from no choice but to produce abundantly in the disaster year. When it becomes popular in the future, it will definitely save the people of the world from famine.

It is also said that the price of paper and pen on the market is low now, and the people can eat enough again. In this case, even the most ordinary families will start to seek development for their young people. This is an unstoppable trend.

Even if they are in a high position in the court, they cannot stop this trend. It is better to follow the trend, actively guide this trend from the beginning, occupy a favorable position in a timely manner, and actively select good talents from the poor to make them use by the court.

Finally, Luo Yong also said that such a general trend did not only happen in the Tang Dynasty, but other countries still.

As far as he knows, although the imperial court strictly prohibited corn seeds from coming out of seclusion, many people still took risks for huge benefits. In recent years, corn is a crop that has been planted in many countries in the Western Regions, and it must be the same in other places. Master Xuanzang returned from that country and said that corn is often seen along the way, and straw paper is not rare.

In recent years, paper books have been quite common in all countries. In this way, the popularity of text has become inevitable, and it is not manpower to stop it.

If they cannot vigorously develop education in the Central Plains region in time, improve population quality, select good talents, and accelerate social development, they may be overtaken by other countries in the future and have no more strength.

Luo used this sentence to be reasonable and well-founded, and at the same time he did not forget to blame the "trend".

However, many people in the court do not buy their accounts. How did this so-called trend come about? Not to mention the food matter, just talk about the straw paper. Did you Luo Yong make it first?

After saying this, could Luo Yong have already started planning this matter when he was in Xipo Village?

He also asked him what purpose he had in such a deliberate way.

These people's mouths were like machine guns, and they wanted to thrust Luo into a sieve.

But as they talked, they soon realized that something was wrong. It would be fine if the emperor had no objection to this matter. Why did even the most influential families in the court remain silent this time?

Although we have long known that in the engineering science that Luo used to promote and establish, many people have arranged their clan members to enter, how much influence the power of this engineering science is and how huge the benefits it involves, many people obviously do not have a clear understanding of it.

It was not until this day that the dynasty that the people suddenly realized how amazing they had missed.

Or are they already excluded from the trend of this era?

At the beginning, there was a fierce criticism from everyone, but later, some people gradually became confused and uneasy...

The saint sat on the dragon couch, looking at the young man not far away in front of him, and seeing him standing in the middle of the hall holding a tablet, letting others say anything, he remained as a mountain as he was.

Looking back at the first meeting with Luo Yong many years ago, he was just a boy at that time, and was also in this court. Because of those few words he didn't like to hear, he wanted to confront him.

Now that I look at him again, I have changed a lot.

But I began to look like I could take on heavy responsibilities.

Looking at the ministers in the hall again, sitting or standing, some people had already been calculating, some were shocked, while others had not yet figured out the situation.

First, the imperial examination system is ahead and the popularization system is behind. The future methods of selecting officials must be very different from the past. Faced with this trend, some people push and some people stop them, and some people watch silently...

After the great dynasty ended on this day, the young officials tried their best to find out the news from those big families.

In this case, it is not easy to hide it anymore, so some news has been circulated. It is said that the new loom has been made earlier and some more refined adjustments and improvements are being made. If nothing unexpected happens, when the first batch of white laminated flowers in Longxi arrives in Chang'an City this winter, those new looms will be put into use.

In the eyes of these big families, with the current situation, it is definitely a matter of time for the poor to learn calligraphy. Luo Yong advocated the establishment of primary schools, which was just accelerating the process.

And the new loom technology they got from Luo Yong was the top technology of this era.

Many people who were excluded from the center of power often cannot get news in time. When did the new weaving machine be produced? It was because Luo Yong made this time that the top aristocratic families were wrong, which made people suspicious, so they spent a lot of effort to investigate. Only a small number of people finally learned the inside.

Since you have learned this news, you must try your best to get a share of the pie. Although you may not be able to do your best in the end, you will still have to work hard.

However, some people were still very dissatisfied with Luo Yi's actions this time and the indifferent attitude of these big families: "In this way, will the coffin board make trouble?"

"When will he make trouble?" The speaker did not care about this.

In the eyes of those of them, although Luo Yong is now in some contacts with some of the aristocratic families in Chang'an City, he has no marriage. After all, the relationship is still very shallow.

Now it is the time when the saint is about to value him, so he is so proud.

Speaking of which, since the rebellion of the Crown Prince Li Chengqian, the man's temperament has become a little gloomy, sometimes sad, sometimes domineering, and somewhat violent.

According to the wishes of these aristocratic families, it is best not to provoke him now, and tolerate him. According to the news from the palace, it has been a few years since it was reported.

In the following days, although there were still many blocking voices, the establishment of a primary school in Chang'an City was finalized.

However, the original eight schools were reduced to four, with two men's and two women's schools. The regulations for boys and girls' schools were also different, with higher regulations for boys and girls' schools, while lower regulations for girls' schools.

When I heard that a minister was discussing with the emperor, he once raised an objection to the female school, believing that even if I wanted to open a primary school in Chang'an City, it would be enough to run one or two male school students. Why do I still have to run a female school? It was useless to spend so much financial and material resources.

But the emperor said, "If I don't run a female school, I will ask the sisters of the Luo family to do it themselves in two days. Where will I put this old face?"

The minister was silent when he heard this. He also knew that the ladies of the Luo family could indeed do such a thing.

However, even if this girl school is established, many people are not optimistic about it. A seven or eight-year-old lady can do a lot of housework at home and help reduce a lot of burdens at home. I guess many people will not be willing to send them to school in vain.

If you enter the school, even if you don’t have tuition fees for elementary school, you will inevitably have to spend some hemp paper, pen and ink every day, which is always a expense. Besides, even if a woman can learn calligraphy and arithmetic, she still has to take care of her husband and children after getting married.

At the beginning, some poor families in the market did think so. They are very popular with male students, but they feel more complicated for female students.

You said you should send her to study. If you have a shortage of work at home, you will have to pay so much money. It is useless to learn it. After all, it is just learning to recognize words and arithmetic, not the Luo Family Machinery Workshop. You can make a great fortune after learning it. Even if you are not outstanding in it, you can earn a salary.

With that cruel adult, before the primary school is started, he will first stop his daughter (granddaughter) from thinking:

"You don't think about that elementary school. What's the use of women reading a word? If you spend those few years, it would be better to find a good family with you early, so as not to drag it behind, and the good ones will be picked up by others..."

The girls who had been very eager to go to school could not help but cry when they heard such words.

Some young men who read books have heard of this and have written many articles and poems based on this matter.

Although women in this era also pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues, there is no saying that women without talent is virtue. Young men also highly respect talented women. When it comes to marrying a wife, they are generally proud of marrying an excellent wife.

Therefore, they mostly disagree with the behavior of poor families who do not allow their daughters to go to school, some of which are sympathetic and critical, and some use this as a starting point to criticize current affairs.

After a few more days, suddenly on the morning of the day, the people in the public said that they would ask each household to quickly take their little wife to register at the girls' school.

It is said that the female student not only does not need to pay for tuition fees, but also distributes books and ink for free. I heard that she also manages a lunch meal every day. It is the investment of the Luo sisters and some wealthy ladies in the car. She doesn't have their money for half a penny, and she eats very well.

"Let's hurry up, the rules for girls are low, so I'm afraid I can't accept many people."

"I just saw many people rushing over there."

"The street is hula."

"Hurry, don't go too late!"

“…”

There was the little lady who had not heard of the news. She was washing and cooking at home with her sleeves in her arms when she suddenly saw her home Aye hurriedly came back from outside, walked into the yard a few steps, pulled her up and walked out.

The girl was puzzled. She, Aye, went out to pound rice with someone early this morning. Why did she hurried home after pounding for half a day? Where did she go when she pulled her?

"Aye, where are you going?" The little girl took desperately and barely followed her father's pace.

"Go to the girl school, you can walk faster, if you are late, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." Her father wiped the sweat from his forehead and just opened the way in front, and he was very anxious to see that look.

"Really, do you really want to go to the girl school?" The girl trotted a few steps, ran to her Aye, and asked with her head raised.

"Of course, I'll be fooling you." She Aye returned.

When the little lady heard this, she was very happy.
