Empress, please respect yourself

Perhaps for women, there has never been the best of times.

Because since ancient times, men and women have never been equal.

Even Princess Zhaoyun, who has authentic royal blood, must rely on men if she wants to regain the country.

And why pay for it?

Naturally, he objectified the woman again and treated Princess Zhaoyun's marriage as a transaction.

In this way, it is not a question of who to help, but a problem of prosperity for all, and loss of all for one.Moreover, the alliance lasted for thousands of years.

Marriage has always been the most direct and longest alliance between two interest groups, representing the greatest sincerity.Because the subsequent descendants and grandchildren are the common blood of both parties.

After hearing this, Lan Jinyu sighed a little: "Why is this? Can't women build their own achievements? Must rely on marriage?"

Xie Chang'an didn't answer, but looked out of the sky.

Before waiting for Xie Changan's answer, Lan Jinyu looked over.

Xie Chang'an gently stroked her hand in his: "It's okay, you can."

can what?

What women may not be able to do.

Lan Jinyu's heart trembled, thinking of her own identity.

——Perhaps, being able to reach this position is not only because of my own ability, but also because, in the eyes of outsiders, I am a man.

She was suddenly a little annoyed, but she couldn't tell what was bothering her.

Lan Jinyu is not a person who reveals her emotions, but Xie Changan still captured her sensitive emotions and comforted her: "Don't worry, you can get to this day because of yourself. Even if others think you are a man and don't hinder you, then It just puts you in the same fair position as a man. That is to say, even in a fair competition, you will not lose to any man, which is the glory of our women."

It's just a pity that the world is often unfair to men and women.

The two looked at each other and didn't speak again.

But at the same time, there was an unprecedented passion surging from the bottom of the two of them.

The two looked at each other, knowing each other's hearts like a mirror.

Almost at the same time, the two said, "How about..."

The two were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

In the end, Lan Jinyu stretched out her hand and signaled Xie Changan to speak first.

Xie Changan's smile was not restrained, but he was serious: "Have you ever thought about establishing a country where men and women are equal?"

Men and women are equal.

These are the thoughts that Chen Yao has instilled in them these days.

In fact, as a person living in traditional ancient times, it is difficult to have the idea of ​​"equality between men and women".

After all, everyone in this day and age thinks that men are more noble than women.

But Chen Yao is not an ancient person.

The concept of equality for all has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

Don't talk about equality between men and women, everyone is equal in her eyes.

——Even if it is only superficial equality.

Therefore, after Lan Jinyu and Xie Changan seized the throne, Chen Yao dispatched immediately to brainwash them.

She talked about the beauty of equality between men and women, and described the world where everyone is equal a thousand years later as the most beautiful blueprint to them.

Even, it has been further improved.

In that country, everyone is equal, and women are no longer vassals of men, and they are no longer bound to the family, and there is no relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who torture each other and never end.

Everyone lives for themselves and no longer needs to bear any traditions. The elderly are supported by the state, and the children are also supported by the state. As long as everyone works hard and pays taxes, there is no need to worry about having no money to spend when they are old. It means that the state uses your money today Come to support tomorrow's you, so that when you are old, you don't have to rely on your children's filial piety, squeeze together with your sons and daughters-in-law cautiously, and watch their faces, but you can hold the money by yourself and be happy as you want.

In short, this is an era when everyone works hard for themselves, and all today's efforts will become the comfort of this life.Because of this, everyone will work hard.

As a monarch, what you can do is to use the value created and taxes paid by all citizens for public welfare construction, as well as provide for the elderly and children, so that the entire country can be safe and harmonious.

Because there is no pressure, and no men are superior to women, everyone lives hard and happily.

Everyone's all efforts are to see a better scenery and realize a higher self-worth.

……

Chen Yao spoke beautifully, and even had a hypnotic feeling when she spoke, making Lan Jinyu and Xie Changan feel as if they were in a dream.

good very good!

——This was what the two of them thought at the time.

What an ideal country!It can be said that the old has something to depend on, the young has something to support, and people can make the best of their talents!

If such a country can really be built, I'm afraid that Lan Jinyu, as the king, will really be able to rule.

However, after leaving Chen Yao, Xie Changan calmed down: "I don't think that world can be fully realized."

"why?"

Lan Jinyu is still intoxicated by the beautiful world Chen Yao described.

Xie Changan sighed: "Throughout the ages, there have been many capable emperors and ministers, but none of them have thought of establishing such a country. In other words, even if someone wanted to, no one has realized it."

Lan Jinyu stopped talking.

Indeed, throughout the ages, dynasties have changed, how many capable ministers have gone through?However, no one can build such a country.

"Old people have something to depend on, and the young have something to support", it is obvious that someone has proposed it long ago, but why has it never been realized?

Lan Jinyu is confident, but she is confident about her martial arts and formation.

She didn't think that a few of them could surpass all the wise kings and ministers in history!

Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.No matter every age, there are wizards from heaven.However, none of them can truly achieve the goal of "care for the elderly and care for the young", let alone allow everyone to make the best use of them freely and live their lives in style.

This seems...impossible.

But why not?

She looked at Xie Changan.

Xie Chang'an is much better at this kind of brainstorming than her.

Xie Chang'an accepted her doubts, and smiled wryly: "Because the national strength of the entire country cannot reach it."

"what?"

"As the saying goes, 'the country is rich and the people are strong'. Only when the country is rich can the people be strong; when the people are strong, can the country be rich. There will be no pies in the sky. Whether it is a country, a family or an individual, there is no such thing as wealth for no reason. Every penny, They are all earning real money, not relying on a good wish to be realized.” Xie Chang’an calmly analyzed, “The so-called ‘care for the old and support for the young’, to put it bluntly, means to have money! If we are rich, we can naturally allocate more money to take care of the elderly and children, so that the old people have dignity and every child grows up happily. This requires the prosperity of the entire country! But obviously, our country is not yet rich enough to that You have to believe that how many people the current country can support and how far they can live. If you change the way of living, it can only be the same. As a monarch, you can only adjust and mediate under the existing conditions, that is, many What the monarch often does is to build water conservancy, reduce or exempt farmers from taxes, initiate donations from high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen, open treasury granaries for disaster relief, etc. The way to be a monarch has always been 'balance' rather than 'salvation', because the monarch is only a mortal and does not Not God."

The two spoke without any pretense, but went straight to the point.

Both of them have their own sober minds, so naturally they both know that the so-called "Son of Heaven" is just mortal reason.

Leaving aside, at least Xuanyuanlie and Lan Jinyu are mortals.

Lan Jinyu sighed: "Is there really no possibility at all? It's a pity."

What Chen Yao said before is quite attractive.

Especially the "endowment insurance" and "nine-year compulsory education" sounds really exciting.

If the country under his rule can also reach that level, he will not be in vain as this round of emperor.

Although she has no interest in being a wise emperor who spreads the history, she is very interested in making the people rich and happy:

How wonderful it is to grow up safe, live free and valuable, and grow rich and dignified.

Unfortunately, Xie Chang'an's answer was cruel: "It is impossible to realize the society Chen Yao said in one's lifetime. Our current creative ability is not enough to meet that requirement."

To put it bluntly, the value created by young people is not enough to make up for the shortcomings of the elderly and children, so that all people can live a life of abundance and freedom.

Lan Jinyu didn't speak.

Indeed, the emperor is not a god, and there are some things that she can't achieve if she wants to.

Seeing her so discouraged, Xie Changan couldn't help reminding: "It's impossible to achieve it completely, but it's still possible to achieve a part of it."

Lan Jinyu's eyes lit up.

"At least, we can try to make men and women equal."

Xie Changan said every word with a smile.

Make men and women equal?

Something flickered in Lan Jinyu's eyes.

In fact, it wasn't just Lan Jinyu, Xie Changan's eyes were also shining with hope.

Equality between men and women is the dream of all women for thousands of years.

As a woman, even if she has not been treated unfairly, she still hopes that the entire "female" group can stand shoulder to shoulder with the "men" on this land.

What's more, under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs?

In ancient times, where men were superior to women and women were inferior, which woman has not been treated unfairly?

Even someone as honorable as Xie Chang'an, who was treated kindly since childhood, still has no right to inherit the family.Even for the benefit of the family, to marry someone who doesn't love.

Although it is very common to marry for the benefit of the family, the problem is that the family is a man's family!Women do not have the right to inherit the family, and once married, they are outsiders.

Not to mention, men are born with the power of wives and concubines, and they have the initiative to "suspend and abandon".

At most, women are "reconciling and leaving", and have never really said "retire husband" the other way around.

Even, a woman cannot sue her husband. Even if she is hurt and abused endlessly, as long as she sues her husband to court, she will first be punished herself.

As for the teachings such as "the husband is the guide for the wife" and "marry and obey the husband", they emerge in endlessly.

If one day men and women can truly be equal, it will be for the well-being of women all over the world.

Lan Jinyu and Xie Changan looked at each other, a seed of fate quietly sprouted in their hearts.
