Huang Shuo said with a sad face: "The letter from Mr. Taiwei is nothing. It's just that Mr. Taiwei is concerned about my health. He is afraid that the bumps on the road will cause me to fall ill and not be able to visit my parents in time. So Mr. Taiwei has sent someone to pick him up quickly. My parents came here to see me for the last time. I will just write a reply to this matter and thank Mr. Taiwei for his kindness. I just feel this for my brother. He has been studying abroad for many years and has not yet been able to meet his parents. I have shown my filial piety before, but now I am about to die. I am leaving my old parents behind and cannot support them. I really regret it. Therefore, I am so sad that I worry about my worthy brother." After hearing this, Lu Xun solemnly said: "Brother, there is no need to worry about this matter. You and I Brothers and sisters, your father is my father and your mother is my mother. If there is really no cure for my brother, I will bear all the consequences after my brother's death. I will support my brother's parents for a hundred years and fulfill my filial piety."
Huang Shuo was moved and said: "A good brother is kind and kind, and I can't repay you for being a brother. However, I have a sister whose maiden name is Yueying. She was born in the same year, month and day as my brother. This is the fashion for marriage in the boudoir. This is It also makes me care about my brother very much. If I am a good brother who never abandons me, I can get married with him. My brother will have nothing to worry about from now on." Hearing Huang Shuo's proposal of marriage. Lu Xun was a little hesitant about this. Lu Xun thought for a while and said: "Brother, I support my parents and take care of my sister for my brother. There is nothing wrong with this. It's just that the marriage is a matchmaker's order from my parents. I don't dare to agree without authorization. After all, I Since Gao Tang is still alive and there is a master like Taiwei, how can I dare to make a personal decision so easily! Besides, marrying a wife should be a virtuous one. I don¡¯t know anything about your sister¡¯s character. How can I make such a decision?"
Huang Shuo said quickly: "Don't worry, dear brother. My sister is very virtuous. And she is more intelligent and intelligent than me. But my sister's appearance is the same as mine. If I follow my dear brother, I will wrong my dear brother. Look. I can't find anyone I like as a brother. You can leave my little sister to me." Lu Xun smiled and said, "Brother is here to trick me again. My brother's intelligence and talent are unparalleled in the world. Who else can do it? Better than my elder brother. However, I believe that my elder brother will not lie, and my sister's character. Having a gentleman like my brother here shows that your father's family is strict and upright. As for your sister's appearance, it is irrelevant. Since my brother is real If I don¡¯t feel at ease, then I agree, so that¡¯s it. Fortunately, my ancestor loves me very much. Even Lord Taida loves me very much. If I insist, my ancestor and Lord Taiwei won¡¯t stop me.¡±
"Huang Shuo's center of the earth, this is half of it." However, Huang Shuo still didn't know what Lu Xun thought of women serving as officials. So Huang Shuo deliberately pretended to be joking and said: "Brother, don't believe it. My sister's talent and learning are definitely higher than that of my brother. This means that the imperial court does not have a women's department. If a women's department is opened, my sister will definitely be able to pass it. Fame. With his talents, he can govern the world as a prime minister and conquer the eight wastelands as a general. He is a great talent who can stabilize the country and stabilize the state. I am afraid that my worthy brother will have to submit to serve as his assistant." Lu Xun also said this. I didn't care, I just thought what Huang Shuo said. It was an exaggerated statement to praise his sister. Therefore, Lu Xun also joked: "If this is the case, as long as your sister can really stabilize the country and calm the troubled times and make the people live and work in peace and contentment, then I will be subordinate to your sister. What's the harm?"
Huang Shuo was overjoyed. The decision in my heart was finally made. He picked up a pen and wrote a reply letter in his hand and asked Lu Xun to take it back. Passed to Liu Bin. When Liu Bin read Huang Shuo's reply, as expected by Zhang Yan, Huang Shuo really agreed. Liu Bin was happy about this. At the same time, I am also worried about the promises that are about to be fulfilled. Liu Bin clearly knew that his decision made his own group of generals. No one will oppose you. And I don't want women to join the army, which will not touch the interests and foundation of the generals group. Therefore, the resistance from the generals can be ignored.
Therefore, I only need to consider how to convince the civil servants under me, and that is enough. Although if he really forced the women to watch, I believe these people would not dare to really disobey his orders, but in that case, it is likely to cause discord between the monarch and his ministers, and cause some conflicts between the monarch and his ministers. In that case, it would not be beautiful. ! Liu Bin thought about it all night. Only then did he formulate a plan for himself.
The next day, Liu Bin was not in a hurry to announce his idea of ??opening a women's department and appointing female officials. Instead, he first called his confidants. First unify our thoughts internally. Liu Bin looked at Guo Jia, Lu Su, Xun Yu, Xun You and others in front of him and said: "Everyone, our Youzhou has developed well in the past few years. The people are rich, and the various weaving workshops and showrooms opened in various places are like bamboo shoots after the rain. Quite a few. It¡¯s really a gratifying thing.¡±
Guo Jia and the others were summoned by Liu Bin. I thought Liu Bin had any big decisions to discuss. It¡¯s all excitement and anticipation. But no one expected that Liu Bin would make such an opening statement. What is this? Everyone was at a loss as to what Liu Bin's plan was. But fortunately, these people are all human beings, and they are all calm and calm. So don't be anxious,They were all ready to see what Liu Bin was going to say next.
Only Guo Jia and Liu Bin were used to cooperating, and followed Liu Bin's words and said: "My lord is right. Our people in Youzhou are indeed a little richer. It is human nature for people to buy more cloth and clothes when they are rich. . They are all blessed by you, my lord." Liu Bin continued: "Most of the businesses in Zhifang Xiuzhuang are run by women. Our women in Youzhou can be workers. They can support themselves, which is good. It's much stronger than other places." When Liu Bin said this, Guo Jia and others became even more confused and didn't know what Liu Bin was going to do. Even Guo Jia didn't know how to cooperate with Liu Bin.
Guo Jia and others took a look at each other, and when they saw that everyone else was as confused as themselves, they all got weird: How about these small workshops, why would people like myself get together to discuss it? What kind of trap is the master trying to lay for himself and others? Liu Bin's bad record of joking made all these people more cautious. After all, none of these people could have imagined that Liu Bin now wanted to open a women's department, which was an unprecedented initiative. Liu Bin looked at everyone's reactions and comforted himself: Yes, it is still expected. There were no unplanned reactions.
Liu Bin calmed down his mood. He continued: "Our women in Youzhou can support themselves, and they have enough financial ability. Their status in the family and in society is gradually improving. And there are also many strange women among them. In order to make more people Many people will not be buried and show their talents. I have decided to open a women's department and appoint female officials. Encourage women to study. What do you think?"
Liu Bin¡¯s tone was very casual. But just this casual sentence was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present. Everyone was stunned and at a loss. For a moment, the small conference room, which was originally quiet, became even more silent. wrong! It couldn't be said to be silent. Because in the small conference room at this time, there was obviously the sound of heavy breathing. The effect is good. Liu Bin was very satisfied. But Liu Bin was satisfied. After hearing this, those people began to get confused. Although these highly talented people under Liu Bin often hear some strange ideas from Liu Bin, they have been trained for a long time. But Liu Bin's suggestion this time still made them feel: The original lord was so normal. Why did it break out again today?
Peace is short-lived. Like the night before a storm. The longer it simmers, the more violent it will explode. "My lord, think twice." Almost at the same time, Liu Bin's confidants all started to speak out. The mixed sounds not only irritated Liu Bin's ears. His brain was confused, and even the person who spoke could not hear clearly what he was saying for a moment. This made the wise man who also spoke feel depressed. Why could he always lose his temper in front of his lord? It seems that my cultivation is not enough. And Liu Bin regretted this even more. Why did he forget to put on the earplugs?
Liu Bin smiled bitterly and waved his hand. Everyone fell silent. Everyone calmed down their emotions. This time, after some humility, Guo Jia, the most senior person, took the lead and said: "My lord! Opening a women's department and appointing female officials is an unprecedented thing. If you suddenly do this initiative, people's hearts will be in chaos. But now it is happening. The world is in chaos. The hearts of the people have not yet settled. If the lord practices this heresy and even the people of Youzhou are in chaos, it will be very detrimental to the lord's great cause. Who will save the people of the world at that time? Who will revitalize the dynasty of the Han Dynasty? Please put the overall situation first, my lord. Take back the order. When the world is unified, it will not be too late to plan this matter again."
Guo Jia is worthy of following Liu Bin for many years. I know Liu Bin's temper very well and know that Liu Bin is reasonable. So instead of confronting Liu Bin about this matter, he explained the strong relationship and gave Liu Bin a soft support. But what Guo Jia didn't expect was that Liu Bin's suggestion this time was not a whim, but was inspired by Zhang Yan. and expectations for future results. And to do this. Therefore, Liu Bin was very determined. so. After Liu Bin listened to what Guo Jia said, Liu Bin secretly laughed: Okay. As long as you don't oppose it directly, it will be easy to handle. Liu Bin ignored Guo Jiadi's advice for the time being, and instead went on to say to the others: "Feng Xiao's opinion is good. Do you have anything else to add?"
When everyone saw Liu Bin's posture, they were all shocked: It's over! It seems that the lord is serious about it this time. So everyone thought seriously about the impact and gains and losses of opening female departments and appointing female officers. After a while, Xun You couldn't help but asked: "My lord! There may be geniuses among the women in the world, but they may not have a certain number and scale. And those capable women will always have to support their husbands and raise their children, and they may not come. Take refuge in us. Then if we open a women's department and appoint female officials, isn't that just trying to please the public? This will only lead to ridicule by the princes of the world, and those who are truly talented may not come to join us because of this. In this case, aren't we losing more than we gain? ?" Liu Bin nodded. Also without making any judgment, he looked at the??Other people and so on.
Xun Yu also said: "My lord! Since ancient times, men have dominated outside and women have dominated inside. There is a difference between inside and outside. If men and women mix, it is easy to cause scandals, which may be detrimental to the development and stability of Youzhou. And now, we do not have to open a women's school. The department appoints female officials to solve the shortage of officials. Why should we ask for trouble by doing such a controversial move?" Liu Bin was very happy that these people under his command are really good! There is no malicious discrimination against women. They all still spoke in a pragmatic manner. So Liu Bin nodded approvingly and focused his attention on Lu Sude.
At this time, Lu Su's brain was spinning so fast. Lu Su thought quickly: Why did my lord make this suggestion today? Lu Su didn't think that Liu Bin would make an impulsive move in a hot head. So Lu Su quickly took care of this matter. Got in touch with Liu Ming¡¯s wife Zhang Yan. Although Lu Su has not been in Youzhou for too long, he is smart, kind and sociable, so he quickly got along with the people in Youzhou. I also know some secrets about Youzhou! Lu Su himself was not opposed to the establishment of a women's department and the appointment of female officials, giving women all over the world a chance to show their talents. However, Lu Su was afraid that when Zhang Yan's power spread, it would cause some unpredictable social phenomena and problems, thus disrupting Liu Bin's current good situation.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Lu Su said: "Lord, the world is in an unstable situation. This is a good time for the lord to show off his ambitions and dominate the world. The establishment of a women's department and the appointment of female officials are unprecedented. There are too many variables, many of which are unpredictable. Moreover, after the establishment of a women's department and the appointment of female officials, the talents of the matron are enough to become officials. But this has set a precedent for the lord's wives and concubines to interfere in politics. It will easily affect the lord's fairness in dealing with political affairs in the future. Nature. Therefore, I think this matter needs to be considered carefully. Don¡¯t make a hasty conclusion.¡±
Lu Su¡¯s remarks were beyond Liu Bin¡¯s expectation and were not considered by Liu Bin. But what Lu Su said does make sense. This made Liu Bin realize that this is probably how officials and businessmen came about. Liu Bin thought again and revised his plan. Then he said with a smile: "What you all said is quite good. It does make sense. But I want to ask a question." "My lord, may I ask," Guo Jia answered on behalf of everyone. "Filial piety. I remember you told me once. In the book "Han Feizi. Six Antis", it was recorded: "Parents are to their children. If they give birth to a boy, they will congratulate each other and if they give birth to a girl, they will kill them." I don't know how old you are. Do you remember?" Liu Bin scooped up Guo Jia for surgery first.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, as if he had actually talked about it with his lord. But that was all a long time ago. After seeing the victims everywhere, I had some thoughts and mentioned it to my lord. The Lord actually still remembers it. My lord's memory is really amazing. Although Guo Jia was caught off guard by Liu Bin's question, Guo Jia still answered honestly: "That's right. My subordinates did talk to the lord back then. It's just" Liu Bin didn't wait for Guo Jia to finish and hit him. Guo Jia stopped talking. Then he said: "Just remember it. When you said this to me at that time, it was because the phenomenon of abandoning baby girls was extremely common among the disaster victims at that time. You were extremely dissatisfied and intolerable about this. That's why you talked to me This matter. I also scooped up a large amount of supplies because of this. Let you adopt those orphans and orphans. That's right."
"That's right" Liu Bin didn't wait for Guo Jia to finish, he stopped Guo Jia and said: "You still had such a compassionate heart back then. But now we have the ability to completely solve these things. Why did you start again? What about obstruction? Besides, we in Youzhou govern the country by law. As long as the people comply with the law, why should we panic?" After Liu Bin finished speaking, he did not wait for Guo Jia's answer. Then he faced everyone and said: "Opening women's departments and appointing female officials. This is just to select some talented people from among women. It does not touch the vital interests of any common people, and it is not to force women to become officials. It is just to select those who are talented. A hope and a way out for women. Improve the social status of some women in our Youzhou. What's wrong with this?"
Seeing that everyone didn¡¯t react for a while. Liu Bin added: "We always say that we should encourage childbirth and strive to increase the population. How to encourage it? How to increase it? This needs to be effective. With the policies we have, we can indeed increase the population temporarily. But what will happen in the long run? Nowadays, among our people, a considerable number of people believe that women have to go out all the time, and they cannot be relied on if they have a foreign surname. If they are raised, they will be raised in vain. They are raised by other people's families, and they also have to give away a large sum of money. The dowry is not worth it. So, the baby girl is strangled in the cradle. This is inhumane and immoral. And if this continues, the male-female ratio of the next generation in Youzhou will be out of balance. You must know that raising offspring is not just a matter of light. As long as you have a man. As the saying goes: Men are Goddess and women are Kun. Qiankun nurtures yin and yang and then produces offspring. A large shortage of women will cause extremely serious social problems. You are not outsiders. And we are all men, There is nothing to avoid when talking. If everyone in the future will favor boys over girls, and those who cannot raise them will kill the baby girls. Then there will definitely be more boys in the future.Young girl. By then, a large group of bachelors will be unable to find wives and will feel uncomfortable. It will inevitably lead to immeasurable violence. Even if we unified the world at that time, the world would still be in chaos. Therefore, we must take precautions before it happens. Opening a women's department and appointing female officials can improve women's social status and help improve the population of Youzhou. This is a long-term strategy. "
At this time, everyone in the room was already a little confused by what Liu Bin said. Is there any necessary connection between opening a women's department and killing female infants? In order to solve the problem of strangling female infants, wouldn't it be much simpler to directly enact a law to prohibit the mutilation of children? Could it be that the Lord has something else to point out? Just to give a simple and obvious example? It is true that Liu Bin is just using the topic now, but because Liu Bin speaks very coherently and fluently, these masters who like to think about things when encountering problems are led astray by Liu Bin, and they are led further and further and cannot come back. .
