Chapter 77 Are all the men in Tiansheng dead?Although there was a smooth and emotionally intelligent Minister of the Ministry of Rites who tried to smooth things over, in the end they still managed to save some face for Beixiang. However, the two sides were at a disadvantage in their first verbal confrontation, especially since the other party was the one who had defeated Beixiang and caused Beixiang to offer Wu'an Hou to Tiansheng for more than 20 years. It would be strange if Beixiang could swallow this insult! The group walked along the road and found faults along the way. However, the current appearance of Tiansheng Imperial City still had many shortcomings in the eyes of people like Yunshu who came from the future. But compared with the more backward Beixiang, it still won easily. Even the prince and his entourage had to think about their own situation before they could find a problem. They racked their brains and even made some sarcastic remarks about a tree on the side of the road that was a little crooked. It's just... quite non-aggressive. Marquis Wu'an and the others were too lazy to bother with it at all, so the more they looked into it, the more annoyed they became. The entire Beixiang envoy group was holding their breath until they saw the recruitment sign at the entrance of the Tianwaitian Restaurant. A group of people became visibly excited—— "We are looking for kitchen apprentices, dishwashers, waiters, and senior waiters. Both men and women are welcome. No age limit. We require candidates to be quick, willing to endure hardships, and willing to learn..." After reading out the contents written on the sign word by word, the eldest prince was the first to laugh: "I never thought that women in Tiansheng would have to work outside to support their families like men!"
"This is interesting!" Finally, he found a real "pain point", and even the prince immediately agreed: "I remember that one year Princess Baza was curious about the scenery of Tiansheng and accompanied the diplomatic envoys to Tiansheng. After returning, she was sulking for three days. Because the people of Tiansheng were too conservative, Princess Baza wore our Beixiang clothing, and even though she only showed a part of her arms, she was still denounced as being immoral by the rigid and rigid scholars who were unable to adapt. Later, I realized that the status of Tiansheng women was very low. They are men's private property, and even a small part of the wrist cannot be easily shown to outsiders. Even when seeing a doctor to feel your pulse, you still have to use a handkerchief to check your pulse! The most important thing is that it is said that in the Tiansheng Dynasty, women will be allowed to go out to earn money to support the family only when there are no men in the family! This prince originally thought that since the capital is the most prosperous city under the feet of the emperor, such a situation should not occur. But I didn’t expect…” He sighed in mock manner. Then he turned his head and looked at the third prince with worry: "Third Prince, I wonder what happened in the Tiansheng Dynasty in the past few years that caused all the men in the Tiansheng Dynasty to almost... die out?" When saying the last few words, even the prince emphasized his tone deliberately. Even a confused three-year-old child could hear the malice in his words. On the Tiansheng side, the expressions of the people including the Third Prince finally changed to some extent. Although the words spoken by the eldest prince of Beixiang and the eldest son of the prince Lian this time were a bit harsh, at the root of it, they themselves had actually had similar dissatisfaction in their hearts. It's just that women's virtues and female precepts have never been something that can be discussed openly in the Tiansheng Dynasty. In addition, Emperor Xuanwu was behind this restaurant. That's why they didn't dare to say anything against it. Now Beixiang was mocking them for this, and they were angry and annoyed, but they didn't know how to refute. The situation on both sides suddenly changed at this moment. The prince of Lian swept away his previous depression, glanced at Wu'an Hou proudly, and sighed in a gloomy tone: "This is really... such a pity!" "Why regret?"
Amid the angry silence of the Tiansheng officials, Marquis Wu'an suddenly spoke calmly: "From what Prince Lian said just now, he must have felt that the Tiansheng Dynasty's attitude towards women in the past was too harsh. Now that the Tiansheng Dynasty has realized this, accepted it calmly, and actively changed, isn't it a good thing?" "Marquis Wu'an's words make sense!" Upstairs, Yun Shu, who had never expected that she would hear such delightful remarks just because she spoke a little slowly, finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. The girl's unique clear voice came from above my head. Wu Anhou and others below looked up at the sound and, not surprisingly, saw a slender and tall figure in the window on the fourth floor. "Your Highness, Princess!" "Princess?" Prince Beixiang raised his eyebrows, looked up at the black-haired and white-haired girl upstairs, who was already stunningly beautiful. Subconsciously, he struck a pose that he thought was very attractive to the girl. However, Yun Shu didn't even spare him a glance, and just laughed softly and said loudly: “I have always believed that those who dare to face up to their own shortcomings and make immediate changes are the truly strong ones. So are people, so are countries. Our Tiansheng Dynasty has a vast territory and abundant resources. In the past, only men could give full play to their strengths and contribute to the development of Tiansheng Dynasty, which made Tiansheng ahead of the neighboring countries. Now women will also join in the great cause of developing Tiansheng, and the 100 million labor force will become 200 million. I am looking forward to seeing how prosperous the Tiansheng Dynasty will become in the future!" Yes! If women could also work, wouldn't the labor force of the Tiansheng Dynasty be doubled? The officials of Tiansheng Court, who had never thought of such an angle before, fell silent again. Yun Shu's words obviously had a certain impact on their previous understanding. Even though most of them would not change their opinions immediately because of these few words, at least at this moment, her words were very beneficial to them. "ridiculous!" Seeing that this good situation was about to change again, The prince Lian said angrily: "How can women be compared with men? How can one hundred million laborers become two hundred million... Do you believe that all the women on this street combined are not enough for me to beat with one hand?" "What the prince said is wrong." Yun Shu laughed: "Not to mention that Tiansheng has always been a country of etiquette, there are many jobs in this world that require people to do things that do not rely solely on brute force. Everyone should perform their duties. Just like the civil officials like the Minister of the Honglu Temple in our dynasty, if they can receive foreign envoys and handle the diplomatic relations between countries well, they are already excellent Ministers of the Honglu Temple. Who would ask him to beat a mountain black bear?" "How dare you insult me and compare me to a black bear in the mountains!"
Even the prince was extremely angry. You know, even Marquis Wu'an had never dared to insult him so bluntly before! What right does a woman who can't even lift a knife have? (End of this chapter)
