Tian Chou didn't know when the exercise ended. He only knew that the onlookers were very satisfied, and he was still unwilling to leave for a long time. Wherever he went, he could always hear people's praise for the exercise.
Tian Chou went around the market and found a book dealer, wanting to buy a few books.
He wrinkled the borrowed "Shi Lun" and the young man was very dissatisfied, but he still took it away. He wanted to read it a few more times to understand the emperor's intentions.
Cai Yan is a female official next to the emperor, and her articles are likely to represent the emperor's meaning.
But he was soon disappointed. Almost all the books were sold out, and the bookmaker looked regretful and regretted not being able to buy more goods.
When Tian Chou asked, he realized that these books were transported from Hedong from thousands of miles away. At present, only Wenxiu Bookstore in Hedong can be printed quickly, which other places cannot do. However, Hanyang is preparing to build a bookstore, and there will be books in another half a year.
.
Only then did Tian Chou realize that the article he saw yesterday was not copied, but printed. It is precisely because of this that a scholar theory can be replaced with only one sheepskin. The young man said that he had spent three sheepskins and should have bought it.
More than one book.
It is said that the best-selling book is a book called "Simplified Shuowen Jiezi", which contains 3,000 commonly used characters. Learning these 3,000 words can satisfy most of the reading and writing of words.
What surprised Tian Chou was that the author of this "Simplified Shuowen Jiezi" was also a woman, with three people, one of which was named Yuan Quan, who is said to be a child of the Yuan family of Runan.
Tian Chou had some impression, as if he had heard Zhao Yun mention it.
When he returned to the camp, Tian Chou found Zhao Yun and asked about this. After hearing this, Zhao Yun laughed and called a personal guard to ask him to find Cai Yan and Yuan Quan, each asking for a book.
“Do they have a lot of them?”
"Not many. After the book was printed, Wenxiu Bookstore sent 100 copies to each for them to give them to others as a pen. These two books have just arrived and should not have been delivered yet."
"One hundred sets, use them as a pen?" Tian Chou was surprised. He remembered that a book merchant said that a bookmaker could be worth a piece of sheepskin, and a hundred pieces would be one hundred pieces. Even if the cost was not that high, at least it would be
Thirty or fifty pictures.
Writing articles makes money?
"Cai Lingshi painted a picture of the rebellion for the General Zhenxi. Guess how much does it cost?"
Tian Chou also knew the joke and couldn't help laughing: "It shouldn't be low."
"One hundred gold." Zhao Yun also smiled. "But Cai Lingshi generally refuses to do such things. She would rather write articles and support herself. "
Tian Chou smiled bitterly and thought to himself that one article could change to a hundred sheepskins, and she would definitely be able to support herself.
From this he came up with a question: Can women who can support themselves by writing articles? Will they still regard their husbands as the head of the family? After all, don’t show up when writing articles, you can do it at home. Even if an ordinary man does it, even if he does it, he does it.
A small official may not be able to earn the same amount of money by working hard.
"The rules are going to be messed up." Tian Chou sighed.
"It's not chaos, it's about returning to normal."
Tian Chou looked at Zhao Yun in surprise. "Do you think that the difference between men and women is the norm?"
"I just think it's more true." Zhao Yun patted the sword on his waist. "Maybe a woman is not as physically as a man, but this gap is not irreparable. A woman who has been strictly trained can still defeat her.
Men who are not strict in training, or training. Some women with good talent can even compete with most men."
Tian Chou frowned. "So, the emperor wants to make men and women no different. Women can not only write articles, but also join the army. Will they be allowed to become officials in the future?"
"Cai Lingshi is an official, she is the Lingshi of Lantai." Zhao Yun corrected: "Ma Du, Wang Zhuan, and Yuan Zhuan are also an official."
Tian Chou was stunned and then realized. Zhao Yun had said this before, but he did not take it to heart. He took it for granted that Cai Yan was an ordinary female official. The female official was also an official, but he was an official in the later dynasty, not an official in the previous dynasty.
.
However, Lantai Lingshi belonged to the Censor Central Committee, and was an official of the previous dynasty and an official of the outer dynasty.
Cai Yan has long been a real official.
At this time, Zhao Yun's personal guard came back, and he had only one "Shi Lun" in his hand. Yuan Quan's "Simplified Shuowen Jiezi" was asked away as soon as he got it, and a hundred books were not enough. She had already given him a visit.
Wenxiu Shu reads and orders, and when it comes, I will give it to Tian Junfuzheng.
Tian Chou looked at the "Shi Lun" in his hand and didn't know what to say.
His worldview continues to collapse.
I was leaving again and rushed to Jincheng.
For several days, Tian Chou was studying Cai Yan's "Theory of the Scholars". He read it over and over again and could almost memorize it, trying to find the flaws and refute it.
He had an instinctive fear, trying to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
But he knew very well that he could write articles to refute Cai Yan, but he could not stop the emperor from promoting this concept in Liangzhou. Liangzhou is not as good as the Central Plains, and there are not so many concepts of men being superior to women. In daily work, women do not do more than men
Young people, grazing and farming, there are women. Thieves attacking, and there are also many women fighting with spears and bows.
The emperor chose Liangzhou as the starting point, which is likely to be carefully considered.
Liangzhou has few scholars and old ministers are not around the emperor, so no one can stop the emperor. Liangzhou has insufficient population, so there is more room for women to play. More importantly, Liangzhou has harsh conditions, so women are forbidden to show up in public and can only wait for hunger.
die.
Tian Chou was inexplicably anxious.
When crossing Wushao Ridge, Tian Choo, who was almost insane in his reading, received a summoning from the emperor.
Tian Chou followed Xiahou Chong, the assistant minister who came to pass the imperial edict, to a hillside, in front of the emperor.
Liu Xie stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Tian Chou, a little surprised. "Zi Tai, your face is very bad. Are you sick?"
Tian Chou stepped forward and bowed bitterly, "Your Majesty, I am sick and heart-wrenching."
"Heart disease?" Liu Xie raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Heart disease requires heart medicine, but I don't know where Zitai's heart medicine is? I have a portion here, I'm afraid it won't cure your heart disease, and it will only make your heart disease more stable.
Heavy. Do you want to take a look?”
Tian Chou reluctantly calmed down. "I dare to ask Your Majesty to give me a message."
Liu Xie winked, and the servant next to him handed over a document. Tian Chou took it, looked at the cover note, and knew it was Yuan Shao's report, so he did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly began to read it carefully.
Liu Xie was not in a hurry and chatted with Cao Ang, Pei Jun and others. "Who knows what this place is and what story is?"
"I know." Pei Jun spoke first. "Wushaoling is a major road from Jincheng to Hexi. When Huo Piaoyao came out of Hexi, he went to Wushaoling. When I was studying Huo Piaoyao's record, I read the relevant geography.
Documents.”
Liu Xie smiled. "You are so hardworking, do you want to learn from Huo Piaoyao, and Shiba join the army?"
Pei Jun served for many years and knew the emperor's character, and was not afraid. "Your Majesty, I cannot be Huo Piaoyao, but I can learn from the Marquis of Anlu, be the chief minister of ten thousand people, inherit the edict of Your Majesty, assist the generals in expeditions, and educate the soldiers from all directions.
