The Reborn Wife is Farming - Chapter 1177 Hong Zhi
Li Jinghua’s eyes widened, “I’m going to be the owner?”
She only thought about writing an article for the Wenxiu newspaper, but she never thought about being the owner of the newspaper. Besides, there was no precedent for the queen to be the owner of the newspaper.
Seeing that most of her disapproved, Mu Yangling took her by the hand and persuaded, “I don’t like that you follow precedents in everything you do. How can there be so many precedents in this world? Besides, everything remains the same, so what’s the matter these days?” Maybe the better it is?”
“You are the queen, the most honorable woman in the world, so should you, the most honorable woman, do something for the women in the world?”
Li Jinghua laughed, “What do you want me to do for women in the world?”
Mu Yangling turned to look at the maids in her palace and stopped talking.
Li Jinghua raised her eyebrows, this was the first time in her palace, Li Jinghua waved people to step back and look at her.
Mu Yangling glanced at Wen Cui.
Wen Cui smiled and went out to guard the gate of the palace.
Mu Yangling took Li Jinghua’s hand and said solemnly: “Strive for more rights and interests for women in the world, so that their status will be higher. If equality between men and women is realized one day, then you, the queen, must be the first The one who was mentioned.”
Li Jinghua was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out, and she nodded her forehead dumbfounded for a while and said, “You scared me again, and you started talking nonsense about equality between men and women.”
Mu Yangling looked at her seriously, Li Jinghua’s smiling face gradually disappeared, and asked, “Who else have you told such nonsense?”
“Does what you said to Haoran count?”
Li Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, “I don’t dare to say such things outside in the future, let those stubborn old scholars hear and see how they arrange you.”
Mu Yangling snorted softly, and said: “Wu Zetian has been a queen. In the era of sages, there were many wives who were in charge of the house. Why can’t I expect equality between men and women?” Mu Yangling was angry, “Women are getting more and more important now. The lower is just that those old scholars have repeatedly restrained women through the words of the sages, three obedience and four virtues, it sounds nice, the three obedience and four virtues of the sages did not have so many rules.”
Li Jinghua didn’t expect Mu Yangling to be so sharp, so he couldn’t help persuading him: “Ah Ling, this situation didn’t happen overnight, it is really difficult for us to change, if one is bad, there may be She was smashed to pieces, look at Emperor Wu, she is still the emperor, but in the end she couldn’t do anything, and the ministers kept forcing her to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.”
“I didn’t expect it to be effective immediately,” Mu Yangling said, “And I’m not going to be emperor, why are they opposing me?”
“But it seems unethical to them that you bring up equality between men and women.”
“Who said I proposed equality between men and women?” Mu Yangling winked at her slyly, “I just asked you to be the owner of my Wenxiu newspaper, so as to invite a few talented wives to work in the newspaper.”
Li Jinghua was helpless, “If I become the hostess, the status of a woman will rise to the level of a man?”
“Of course not, but we have made a good start.” Mu Yangling knew that although Li Jinghua came from a family, she had a strong ambition, otherwise the sisters-in-law would not have become good friends, so in front of her, Mu Yangling Although he is not as unscrupulous as Qi Haoran, but he is free from many restraints, “Did you know that in ancient times, children followed their mother’s surname, and women’s status was far superior to men’s?”
Li Jinghua stared, “Where did you know that?”
There is no such thing in the existing history books.
Mu Yangling can’t be said to be the conclusion drawn by archaeologists of later generations, she can only give the first basis, “Look at the story and you will know that human beings are created by Nuwa, she is a woman, and saints have no fathers.” , only the mother, so it can be seen that it was a group marriage at that time, and the children followed the mother’s surname and life, so it can be seen that women were very respected and had a high status at that time.”
Li Jinghua has a headache, now she finally understands why the prince always asks some inexplicable questions with history books and story books, the key is why she can’t help but believe what she said?
“So, even in ancient times, women’s status is respected, it has long since passed, and now it is men’s respect.”
“Then do you know why the man’s status finally replaced the woman’s respect?” Mu Yangling continued the previous question.
Li Jinghua could only ask helplessly: “Why?”
“Because of the war,” Mu Yangling said solemnly: “Because men have more advantages than women in wars, so after wars, women will gradually lose their advantages and status, and instead become things to be scrambled for. will fall.”
Li Jinghua looked at her puzzled, not understanding what this had to do with the owner of the newspaper.
“We can prescribe the right medicine only if we understand the reasons of superiority and inferiority,” Mu Yangling said, “The status of women is lower than that of men now, not only because of inherent ideas, but also because women are weaker than men. All women’s money comes from men. When you are not married, you use your father’s and brother’s money, and after you get married, you use your husband’s money. Without an economic foundation, how can you have the confidence to promote women’s rights?”
“I run Wenxiu News, one is to let women have a place to express their opinions, so that the world can see what women say; the other is to let women go out of the house to work.” Mu Yangling said: “Maybe we people don’t care about that share. wages, but a Wenxiu newspaper can support thousands of female employees, allowing them to gradually have the right to speak at home, and even control the initiative of a family.”
Mu Yangling never thought of directly proposing equality between men and women, or proposing that women be officials. In her opinion, that would be tantamount to courting death.
Except for Qi Haoran, Mu Yangling has always tried to figure out the men of this era with the most sinister heart.
Mu Yangling’s plan is very simple, “Let them be able to support themselves, even if they leave their father, brother and family, they can live a good life. They can earn a fortune in the family, and we will consciously guide them. The place will definitely rise, the family status will rise, and the social status will naturally rise.”
Mu Yangling smiled, “Then came the revision of the law. Take it slowly. We will not make major revisions, but only small corrections. For example, women who have passed the age of marriage and do not marry do not need to pay money, but those who exceed a certain age will not be required to pay. After the age, as long as the individual is willing, he can establish a female household; the son-in-law can also become an official after passing the imperial examination; if a man beats his wife and commits a crime, the woman can propose a divorce…”
Li Jinghua was dumbfounded, and then her expression gradually became serious. She thought this was just Mu Yangling’s passion, but now it seems that she has thought it through.
Li Jinghua began to think about the feasibility of this matter.
“We have two approaches. After twenty, fifty or a hundred years, women will have an irreplaceable position in society. At this time, even if their position has not been clearly raised to that of men in the law, their position will not be changed. Weak, the rest can be accomplished without us doing it.”
