Chapter 197: Illiterate? He is illiterate?
Xia Qingqing was already very angry when she heard this, and looked coldly at the dean next to her.
"I didn't expect that the teachers in this academy would ignore the emperor's order like this and not take it seriously?"
The dean knelt down in fear, this crime was a very serious one.
"Absolutely not. No one in our academy would dare to do this!!"
"Do you really think I'm blind? Could it be that the teacher inside is not the teacher of your academy?"
The dean wiped the sweat from his forehead fearfully and said.
"this......"
"Okay, we have our own eyes and we can see for ourselves!"
Xia Yun and Xia Qingqing walked into the classroom. The people inside were stunned when they saw them.
When the teacher saw someone coming in, he thought it was another person, so he pointed at Xia Qingqing and wanted to lecture her.
But he saw the dean behind him, stood up in shock and shouted "Dean."
The dean went up to the teacher and gave him a lecture, "I asked you to teach, but this is how you teach? Look at what you just taught!!"
The dean scolded him verbally, but his eyes looked to the side with a hint.
But the Master had no idea what was going on and was stunned.
"But Dean, didn't you say that we should teach them this way? They are women and are useless. Do you think we should teach them how to govern the country?"
"Why not?"
Xia Qingqing interrupted, looked him in the eyes and said firmly.
"Why not? Why can you decide their own future?
In the future, if they want to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children, it is their freedom; if they want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it is also their freedom; if they want to take the imperial examination, it is also their freedom.
It is up to them to decide, not you!"
When the female students heard Xia Qingqing's voice, they all looked up at her.
What Xia Qingqing just said was something that even they themselves did not dare to say.
It just hits the nail on the head.
The Master pointed at Xia Qingqing and said, "You are just a little brat, what do you know about this? You are just talking nonsense here.
"From ancient times to now, women have been asked to stay at home to take care of their husbands and children. Do you still want to go to war? I'm afraid you will die without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, right?"
The dean next to him stretched out his hand to stop the teacher from speaking, but he didn't find the opportunity.
After hearing what the teacher said, the dean felt completely devastated. It was over, it was really over this time.
Xia Qingqing was not affected by him, but she always felt that it was a bit difficult for her to speak with her head raised, and her momentum was much weaker.
She reached out and pulled Xia Yun's head. Xia Yun knew what she was going to do and picked her up.
Now he is almost as tall as the Master, and he feels even more justified.
"Are you illiterate?"
Perhaps he didn't expect Xia Qingqing to say this, and was stunned for a moment.
Illiterate? He is illiterate? He is a teacher!!
"The Emperor has said that he wants reforms, don't you know what reforms are? Do you need me to explain it to you?
How did you become a teacher with such a level of knowledge? Dean, your ability to recruit people is not very good. "
The dean nodded timidly beside him, showing no sign of objection.
The people watching were amused, but they were also surprised that the dean would be so respectful to a little child.
The teacher pointed at Xia Qingqing and looked at the dean aggrievedly.
"Dean, what is this little brat talking about? You have to make the decision for me!!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? These are the princess and the second prince. How can you be so presumptuous?"
The teacher was so shocked that he was speechless. These two people turned out to be the prince and princess. He immediately knelt down and said.
"Your Highness Princess, Your Highness Second Prince, please forgive me. I just spoke nonsense and did not mean to offend you!!"
When they heard that they were the princess and the prince, everyone knelt down and saluted.
Xia Qingqing snorted coldly and said.
"I don't know if you received the news this morning, but the emperor has entrusted the education of women to this princess."
They did know about it, but the Master thought it was unimportant.
In his impression, the princess was just a little kid, how could she know such things? He thought it was just an excuse used by the emperor to fool around.
But I didn't expect it to actually come.
Xia Qingqing saw that the teacher, who had been so majestic just now, had now become wilted.
"Why, didn't you just speak very enthusiastically?"
"Just like you said, from ancient times to the present, women have always been treated as vassals of men, and can only endure themselves in the harem and watch their husbands take concubines one after another without getting angry.
But if a woman takes this stance, she will be considered fickle. Why? This is your prejudice against women!
Besides, what's wrong with women going to the battlefield? Wouldn't men not die on the battlefield? Then what about those soldiers who died in the battle? Aren't they men?!"
As Xia Qingqing spoke word by word, the teacher lowered his head lower and lower, feeling more and more guilty.
"Swords have no eyes. No matter if you are a man or a woman, you will get hurt. No matter if you are a man or a woman, the right to read should not be reserved for men only. Women can also understand things and distinguish right from wrong."
Xia Qingqing spoke firmly, and the women below seemed to be encouraged, looking at her with wide eyes.
"From now on, girls will be taught the same way as boys and treated equally, and girls as young as four years old can go to the academy for initiation.
When you turn ten, you can choose whether to become a general, take the imperial examination, study medicine, or something else.
These are your freedoms.”
The last words were spoken to the girls below. Before Xia Qingqing left, she spoke mysteriously to them.
"I look forward to you becoming different in the future~"
After Xia Qingqing left, they were still in shock for a long time, until they finally reacted and jumped up excitedly.
They seemed to have faith in their hearts.
This story was passed on by them one by one, and they all developed admiration for Xia Qingqing.
After hearing about this, other colleges in the capital immediately ordered the teachers in their own colleges.
They should be treated fairly, because who knows if they will suddenly come to their college for inspection in the future.
The previous academy's fate was really unbearable. The dean was punished with 50 strokes of the cane and a fine of 1,000 taels for lax discipline and hypocrisy.
Although they could come up with one thousand taels, it was also the money they had used to run the academy in the past few years.
The main thing is that after being beaten, your skin is torn and the feeling is terrible.
The news about the incident in the capital spread to other places. Xia Qingqing said that she would definitely go to other places to check in the future.
