Liu Bin smiled bitterly and waved his hand. Everyone calmed down and 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, and the hearts of the people have not yet settled. If the lord practices this heresy, and even the people of Youzhou are in chaos because of this, 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 has followed Liu Bin for many years and knows Liu Bin's temper very well. He knows that Liu Bin is a reasonable person, so he does not confront Liu Bin directly about this matter, but explains the strong relationship and gives 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. Come to us. Then we open a women's department and appoint female officials. Wouldn't that be grandstanding? This will only make the world's princes ridicule, and those who are truly talented may not come to us because of this. In this way, we are not losing more than we gain. ?" Liu Bin nodded. He also didn't comment, but looked at other people.
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 will easily lead to scandals. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the development and stability of our Youzhou. And now, we don't 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 contacted this matter with Liu Ming's wife Zhang Yan. Although Lu Su has not been in Youzhou for too long. But he was smart, kind, and sociable, so he quickly got to know the people of Youzhou and learned some of the secrets of Youzhou! Lu Su himself was not opposed to the establishment of female departments and the appointment of female officials. Give 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 mistress can be enough to become an official. 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, Su Su believes that this matter needs to be thought over twice before making 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 something. I am afraid that the government and businessmen also came into being in this way. 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 operated on Guo Jia first.
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, as if he had actually talked about it with his lord. But that was all mentioned to the Lord a long time ago after seeing the victims everywhere and having some insights. 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. After Guo Jia stopped talking, he continued: "Just remember."When you said this to me, it was because you were among the victims of the disaster at that time. Abandonment of female infants is extremely common. You are extremely dissatisfied and intolerable to this. That's why I talked to him about this matter. Therefore, I also provided a large amount of supplies for you to adopt those orphan girls 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 that 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 always have to go out, 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 it continues like this, the male-female ratio of the next generation in Youzhou will be imbalanced. 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 shy away from when talking. If everyone in the future favors boys over girls, and those who cannot raise them will strangle baby girls. Then there will definitely be more boys than girls in the next year. By then, a large number of bachelors will not be able to find wives and will feel uncomfortable. . It will inevitably lead to immeasurable violence. Even if we unify the world at that time, the world will still be chaotic. Therefore, we must take precautions before it happens. Opening a female department and appointing female officials can enhance a certain social status of women. It will help us The population of Youzhou will increase. 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? really. Now Liu Bin is just using the topic to express himself, but because Liu Bin speaks very coherently and fluently, these masters who like to think more when encountering problems are led astray by Liu Bin. And it is drawn further and further away and cannot come back.
But at this time, Liu Bin did not give them a chance to think about Lushun. Liu Bin continued: "Everyone, think about it again. If there are men in the world, there must be women. As the saying goes: if the yin does not grow alone, the yang does not grow. But now we only use half of our talents. Isn't this consistent? Natural justice? And this is too wasteful. For example: there are 5,000 men and 5,000 men and women among 10,000 people. Just imagine, are there more talents to be selected from 5,000 people, or are there more talents to be selected from 10,000 people? "Guo Jia et al. Liu Bin's train of thought was diverted again.
Liu Bin continued: "Of course. The suggestions you have put forward are all good. They can all be adopted. I think so! Although we have a women's department first, but when it comes to taking the exam, It is necessary to take strict examinations and pay equal attention to moral character. This can prevent disputes caused by women's lack of ability and bad moral character. Secondly, the treatment of female officials is the same as that of male officials. However, when it comes to the appointment of female officials, it is necessary to avoid some things that are inconvenient for female officials to manage. . Finally, as Fengxiao is concerned about, none of my wives and concubines are allowed to be officials, so as not to shake our foundation due to personal feelings. What do you think?"
At this time, everyone was attracted by Liu Bin's imagination. He suddenly heard that Liu Bin accepted his and others' opinions and asked him and others for their opinions. Then there's no way to disagree. They all said in unison: "Lord, Holy Ming." But after everyone finished speaking, they realized that although the lord accepted their opinions, the fundamental problem had not been solved. It is still necessary to open a female department and appoint female officers. By agreeing to this, doesn¡¯t it mean that he and others are acquiescing to the lord¡¯s proposition? He and others fell into the lord's trap again.
But Liu Bin did not give them a chance to regret it, and immediately concluded: "Since you have no objections to this, we can make this decision for the time being. You can think more about it after you go back. Let's settle this matter tomorrow. The matter will be promulgated smoothly."
Liu Bin¡¯s confidants are all very wise people, and none of them are rotten scholars who don¡¯t know how to adapt. Therefore, no one is fundamentally opposed to women becoming officials. It¡¯s just that this is something unprecedented, and it touches so many aspects.There are too many, so these people will have scruples and objections. But now that the Lord's order has been issued. Moreover, the truths the lord said are also somewhat plausible. Guo Jia and others all accepted their fate and prepared to carry out the plan thoroughly. Go home and think about it.
But these things are really enough for these people to think about carefully. "No! Absolutely not!" Cai Yong objected resolutely, his head shaking like a rattle. Liu Bin, who was already a little thirsty after talking, couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.
Although the civil servants, including Cai Yong and others, had already been fooled and bullied by Liu Bin into talking nonsense, they no longer knew what they should say to persuade Liu Bin. But this group of people allows you to have thousands of clever ideas, and I have certain rules. Regardless of what Liu Bin said. These people just don¡¯t agree when push comes to shove. And not only these civil servants were trying their best to dissuade him, but many of the military generals who Liu Bin thought would not oppose his idea stood up and echoed the opinions of Cai Yong and others. And it's more than that. Even Liu Bin's confidants were vaccinated in advance. He actually didn¡¯t try his best to help Liu Bin speak.
Liu Bin was angry. I couldn't help but wonder: Is it that I am too democratic in my daily life, so now that I want to open a women's department, so many people dare to stop me. It seems that if I don't kill a few Liliwei today, these people won't know who the Lord of Youzhou is.
But Liu Bin just thought about it this way. Not to mention that the person who took the initiative to dissuade him was his father-in-law Cai Yong. But just looking at these ministers who were so excited that they were determined to dissuade them regardless of life and death. Liu Bin also knew that they were really doing it for his own good. State-owned ministers are a sign of prosperity. If you really want to make it happen, don't say that you are not capable enough, even if you have any ability. But as long as I let go for a moment, I'm afraid it will break apart and collapse. And the happy days of his hands-off shopkeeper. Then there can be no more.
At this time, Youzhou's No. 1 Ming-tongued and vicious-tongued Sheng Heng thought about it for a while, then stepped forward and spoke: "My lord, most women have more lustful and evil temperaments than good ones, and are easy to be happy and angry but mostly good. Take the lead in controlling them. If you use strictness, things will be unpredictable. If you don't know what's going on, if you have resentment, you won't be harmed for a long time. If you use leniency, it will be against etiquette. If there are many things, you will have no worries. Those who are chaotic. Moreover, husbands and women have a feminine nature. Those who are rarely jealous but dangerous are easy to get into trouble when two women live together. How can they support each other and manage the state affairs? The old master said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. If you are close, you will not be a grandson. If you are far, you will be resentful. Now, my lord has gathered women together to serve as officials. This is the beginning of chaos in the government. Please take back your order."
This time it was Liu Bin¡¯s turn to be frightened by Hengbai. Literature Liu Bin¡¯s heart will always be painful. In the past, Liu Bin was not visible in modern times. But since Liu Bin came to this era, he only wanted to be read by others. It always makes Liu Bin think confusedly for a while. Although Liu Bin has been trained over the years. That literary skill has been improved quite a lot. However, the culture of Liu Bin and his subordinates is getting higher and higher. And he quoted scriptures at every turn. This truth made Liu Bin extremely depressed.
Liu Bin thought ferociously: It¡¯s his mother¡¯s fault. Boss Kong's saying that only women and villains are difficult to maintain, could it be that it was passed down out of context in the future because of this guy Cheng Heng?
but. After careful consideration, Liu Bin had to admire that Boss Kong was really a saint. What he said is really in line with the nature of some women. Although it's a bit of a generalization. But the quotation of weight and weight is appropriate. For a moment, I really couldn't think of anything to say to refute him.
And at this time, Youzhou¡¯s number one swordsman, Chen Lin, the Dragon Subduing Hand, was obviously finished. He opened his mouth and spoke to Liu Bin: "Lord, the heaven and earth are dense and all things are melted. Men and women have sex. All things are born. There is heaven and earth, and then there are all things; there are all things, and then there are men and women; there are men and women, and then there are couples; there are couples, and then there are fathers and sons: there are fathers and sons. Then there are monarchs and ministers; there are monarchs and ministers, and then there are up and down; there are up and down, and then there are mistakes in etiquette and justice. Therefore, heaven and earth. Husband, father, son, monarch and ministers each have their own place. Don't mess with each other. If you appoint a female official, it is like a hen tying the knot of the family. It is chaos. This is the beginning of the government. I hope that my lord will enlighten you and put the world and the country as your top priority."
? Another winner of a free bluff. Liu Bin finally knew it at this time. Why would Chen Lin and Cheng Heng make other people feel scared? This is too telling. Now it feels like it's on the line.
Liu Bin couldn't help but secretly rejoice: It seemed that he was a bit lucky when he conquered these two people. If he hadn't been the first to use some remarks that they didn't understand. Bluffed them in vain. It's really not possible to conquer these two people.
But now is not a good time for Liu Bin to rejoice. All the civil and military ministers are opposed to this matter. Enforcing it will definitely deal a huge blow to this group of civil and military personnel who are dedicated to following them. Now Liu Bin doesn't have the luxury of firing all his subordinates and replacing them if they disagree.
Liu Bin was so worried that he had to announce the adjournment of the meeting and go to each other.Go home and think about it again. I'll decide tomorrow.
After Liu Bin coaxed all these ministers away, he returned to his study and secretly wondered about his luck: Was he really wrong? Why is there so much resistance to opening a women's department? And I don¡¯t advocate equality between men and women. I just want to appoint a few female officials, so who does it bother me?
Thinking of this, Liu Bin couldn't help but laugh: It seems that when he was in modern society, although men and women were said to be equal, women's rights in some places were even far greater than men's rights. However, in many ideologies, inequality between men and women still exists. A problem that even modern society cannot avoid. Why should I call this true?
Thinking of this, Liu Bin's mood suddenly became much brighter. As a result, Liu Bin once again pondered the source of today's resistance. Liu Bin thought from the perspective of Cai Yong and others, and he really came up with some ideas for Liu Bin.
??The era that I live in now is full of powerful families. Almost all of the officials under him are representatives from various aristocratic families. And even though the few of his subordinates were not from aristocratic families, but were civil servants and military generals who had climbed up from the bottom of society, they had formed their own families after being put in high regard by him.
