Chapter 190 Idol
"Miss Yue, don't cry. Aren't things getting better and better now?"
"Yes, it's getting better."
Yun Yue felt relieved when she heard the various voices comforting her from the audience.
Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the crowd: "Prince Rong is too frivolous. He actually let a woman be the prefect?" The person who spoke was Fang Zuo, the scholar who failed the interview and was driven away by Yun Yue.
But this time, before Yun Yue and others on the stage could even open their mouths, Fang Zuo was scolded by the people below the stage.
"What are you talking about? You want to be beaten?"
"We are happy to let a woman be the prefect! If you are not happy, just leave!"
"Are you blind? Can't you see what Master Yue has been doing these days?"
"You are a scholar, but you actually said such a thing!"
Fang Zuo ignored the people around him and just looked at Yun Yue on the stage with resentment.
When Yunyue was a man, he felt that Yunyue was inferior to him. Now that he knew she was a woman, he was even more dissatisfied.
"You are not convinced." Yun Yue asked him condescendingly with a disdainful look.
"I just don't accept it! As a woman, you should stay at home to take care of your husband and children. How can you show your face in public? And you are qualified to be the prefect? I have studied hard for decades. In my opinion, scholars like us should be the prefect!"
Yunyue was amused.
"Do you really think that you can become a local official just by reading a few books? Yes, many officials in Tianchen are scholars, but how many of them can ensure that the people have enough food and clothing and avoid war? Most of them are not like Prefect Lin! What do you think is the difference between you and them? Oh, there is, the difference is that even if you take the imperial examination, you will not look down on the Juren."
"You...you you! You're talking nonsense!!! How is it possible that I won't pass the exam?!" Fang Zuo's eyes turned red with anger when he heard her cursing that she would not pass the exam.
"Just because you read two books, you really think you are superior to others? You even say you look down on women, but I want to ask you, how can you compare to us women?
"Comparing reading? This Jiang Man next to me is a famous talented woman in Qingzhou. At the Qingzhou Poetry Festival two years ago, a poem she wrote on the spur of the moment won first place in the festival and was praised by many great scholars. What about you? What place did you take? Hmm?"
"Comparing literacy? The woman next to me, Ouyang Shu, can also read. And unlike you who only knows how to brag, she has taught many students. Especially her math, let alone you, even in the whole Qingzhou, there is no one who can compare with her!! Do you want to compete?" Nonsense, Ouyang Shu's math was taught by herself! The courses downloaded on the iPad are not in vain!
"Comparing medical skills? I think you all know Doctor Yu next to me. I don't need to say much about her medical skills. The patients she has saved are obvious to all."
Many women in the audience echoed: "I know him! Doctor Yu is a miracle doctor! Doctor Yu's medical skills are amazing..."
"And this is Huang Jiaojiao, the manager of our textile department. The fabrics for the clothes many of you are wearing now are made by their textile department. If it weren't for them, many people would still not be able to afford fabrics or clothes."
"You can't match her in literature, and you can't match her in martial arts. This woman, Li Wanhua, can kill you with just one punch..."
Li Wanhua sneered and waved her fist, looking at Fang Zuo with disdain, "You little chicken has such a foul mouth, I'll beat him with two punches and make him cry for his mother!"
Yunyue introduced them one by one. Every time she introduced someone, there was a woman standing behind her.
They are both her supporters and her companions on the road ahead.
"We are both women. I want to ask you how you can compare to us? Can you compare to any one of us?"
Fang Zuo was speechless. He just wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute. He could only say that women shouldn't show their faces in public and shouldn't do these things.
Yunyue remembered a sentence that netizens in later generations often joked about: No matter if you are a PhD or a master's degree holder, I am a noble man!
There are always some men who have nothing and are incapable of anything, but they think that they are men and are the center of the world.
Fang Zuo is like this.
This time, the people around Fang Zuo couldn't stand it anymore. Some hot-tempered men went up to him and beat him up.
"What the hell are you talking about? I can't stand scholars like you!"
"We finally had two days of good times, and you, a jerk, want to ruin it?"
"You are worthy of calling me Master Yue!? Are you worthy of being a prefect? If you really become a prefect, I will be the first to rebel! Pah."
Many women who had received help and kindness from Yunyue and Yu Xiyun also took the opportunity to secretly step on them from time to time.
If they knew Yun Yue was a woman at the beginning, most of these people would be like Fang Zuo, disdainful, suspicious, and opposed.
But these days, they have received too much kindness from Yunyue. Yunyue's series of policies have allowed them to clearly see the hope of survival and to see their lives getting better and better. Most importantly, they can see a hopeful future in the days that were originally unchanging and could be seen at a glance...
Especially those families with daughters working in the textile department.
I even have a filter for Yunyue.
Youqi Yunyue said that she would need to recruit many more workers in the near future.
This made everyone look forward to it. Not to mention opposition. They just wished they could show more so that they could work for Yunyue.
They are just ordinary people, the lowest class of people. For them, it doesn't matter whether the manager is a man or a woman, as long as they can live a good life. Even if they are not human, they are willing!
"Thank you for your support. I am very happy to see you all like this. There is a saying that no matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch the mouse, it is a good cat.
Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you have the ability and capability, gender is not important.
Only incompetent people are afraid of women becoming powerful!"
This time, the woman's voice drowned out the man's voice.
At this moment, the women in the audience all regarded Yun Yue and others as their idols. At this moment, Yun Yue was their spiritual pillar and their role model!
No one ever told them that women could be like this!
Seeing their husbands, brothers, and fathers worshipping, respecting, and fearing Yunyue, they were deeply shocked.
Maybe... they can also shine like the women on the stage?
At this moment, a seed was planted in the heart of every woman, waiting for the day when it would sprout and grow into a towering tree like Yunyue and the others...
After being beaten up, Fang Zuo ran away in shame.
Yunyue ignored him and announced another news.
It is to recruit more workers for the engineering department to build houses and roads. Yunyue plans to build roads for the four villages in Chengnan Prefecture next. If you want to be rich, build roads first! Although cement cannot be taken out now, the recipe has been given to the craftsmen in the village for research. And Yunyue has no intention of building a cement road for the time being. She just wants to make the muddy path smoother and wider.
Not only that, but most importantly, before the spring ploughing season, Yunyue wanted to use road construction to increase the income of the people in several counties. This would not only build roads, but also improve their lives, and increase their income to stimulate consumption, killing three birds with one stone.
When the people in the audience heard about the treatment for road construction, they were all excited. My goodness! It's just a road construction! The wages are much higher than their usual work. And they only have to work for four hours a day! Not only that, Master Yue also said that if you get injured during the road construction, you will receive work injury subsidies and you can also go to Ping An Hall for free treatment! !
After hearing this, they were both happy and a little tearful. It turned out that they could work with just a contract instead of an indenture. It turned out that they could work with dignity. It turned out that... they could be seen, remembered, and cared for by others...
Even though some people thought women were bad before, they admired Yunyue sincerely every moment. They wanted to sell themselves to Yunyue and work for her for the rest of their lives!
After finishing the story, Yunyue, Lingyao and the others finally squeezed through the crowd and returned to the government office, already sweating all over.
"Lingyao, the specific recruitment rules are now handed over to you and Jiang Man. As we said before, draft them and have them sent to the county magistrates. Make sure the county magistrates of the four counties cooperate. Yingtao Bajiao, you two are more familiar with the two counties before, so you should go over and help for two days this time."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Okay, we've passed the first level, it's time to move on to the second level."
