After finalizing some details with Lin Xiu, Zhu Ganghua began to formulate her own plan. To be honest, for so many years, ever since he became the city lord, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of allowing the large population of women to have the same rights as men and smoothly enroll in schools. However, such an idea was too shocking in the current Immortal Martial Continent.
In fact, with the number of women in the Immortal Martial Continent, if they could really have the same status as men, there would definitely be a large number of rising stars in the future. Although in some rich and powerful families, women could also be invited by their families to teach them how to read and write, the number of poor families still accounted for 90% of the world's population.
It was a novel idea of Lin Xiu to be the first to implement the policy of allowing women to enroll in schools in this small city. If he could achieve something, then the next step would be to use his connections and mobilize the top forces in the world to accomplish this unprecedented feat.
If the Netherworld Palace could slow down the pace of attacking the continent, as long as the Immortal Martial Continent was given time, these women would definitely be eye-catching. Perhaps in the future, the number of female experts would be like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Lin Xiu nodded his head as he watched Zhu Ganghua burying his head in front of the table and starting to plan out the various details. With a wave of his hand, an extremely dense Yuan Power entered the former's body, and he left the place instantly.
Zhu Ganghua had already reached the peak of the Renyuan Realm, but due to her own aptitude and lack of resources, she was unable to take the crucial step. Fortunately, before she met Lin Xiu this time, the aura that Lin Xiu had injected into her body had a complementary effect on her breakthrough, which was no doubt directly saving her a lot of spirit stones.
Feeling the changes that had occurred in her body, Zhu Ganghua's face swelled red. Her heart was also filled with a burst of excitement. She clenched her fists and then made up her mind that she must accomplish this feat this time. Not only for entertainment and to repay Lin Xiu for his help, but also to make the lives of the residents in the city better.
Walking aimlessly in every corner of the small city, after these days of labor, the population of the small city had finally returned to its previous flourishing state. There were endless peddlers on the streets, and the bustling crowd was bargaining with the peddlers, hoping to be able to obtain the various daily necessities they needed at the lowest price.
Because of the darkness that enveloped the world a few months ago, many people had also lost their source of income. Before implementing the policy of allowing women to enroll in schools, Zhu Ganghua took the lead and asked some of the tycoons in the city to open their own granaries to help the basic necessities of the poor people in the small city.
This situation was tantamount to cutting off their own flesh, which naturally caused the tycoons to be dissatisfied. But this time, Zhu Ganghua's attitude was extremely tough, and with the strength of the Renyuan Realm, he these tycoons were forced to open their respective granaries.
Not long after, it could be said that everyone in the area under the jurisdiction of the Hinayana Institute, except for the tycoons, had already become deeply grateful to Zhu Ganghua. Just after the problem of food and clothing was solved, a new policy from the governor's mansion caused everyone to cheer loudly.
Zhu Ganghua's own proof clearly stated that the current situation in the continent was not very optimistic. Therefore, he had to mobilize all the living forces and actively recruit talents. Therefore, he allowed all women to enroll in the school, and all the expenses would be borne by the governor's mansion.
All of this was carried out in full swing. Under the meticulous makeup of their parents, the girls who had reached the age of enrolment were all white and clean, eagerly waiting for the time to enroll in the school.
If not for Zhu Ganghua's decree, these girls would at most stay at home and do some simple work. When they were fourteen or fifteen years old, someone would come to propose marriage and they would then be married off. From then on, they would have to repeat the life of their fathers, facing the yellow soil with their backs to the sky. However, Zhu Ganghua allowing women to enroll in the school would undoubtedly change their fate.
Of course, in order to accomplish all of this, there was still a prerequisite, and that was to convince the imperial court to allow these women to be like men and have the qualifications to register for the imperial examinations in the near future.
Although Zhu Ganghua himself was only a Human Yuan Realm expert and could not influence the direction of the imperial court, one must know that behind him stood an expert who had reached the sixth level of the Universe Realm. Moreover, with Zhu Ganghua's current status, even some of the top forces had to give him a certain amount of face. These things that were extremely difficult for Zhu Ganghua were immediately solved after Lin Xiu sent a voice transmission to a top force.
After Daoist Wukong left Lin Xiu, he also explained to the various top forces the reason why the world had returned to normal, causing all the top forces to be grateful to Lin Xiu. Naturally, they would not reject such a simple request.
And after some discussion, the top force that the small city belonged to felt that although Lin Xiu's proposal was a little whimsical, it might not be a bad idea. It was just that it would probably take a very long time to see results.
Therefore, this top force decided to use the dynasty that the small city was located in as a test to personally test out the changes that would be brought to the current world.
Finally, the day of enrollment arrived. With the financial support of the city lord's residence, brand new schools were erected. These women were not like the men who studied in the same school. Everything needed a transition process, so Zhu Ganghua named these new schools as the Women's Academy.
Holding brand new textbooks in their hands and smelling the fragrance of ink, these women still could not believe their eyes. They actually had the right to read and write.
As the teacher took the lead and walked into the school, these female disciples also spontaneously tidied up and then sat down in their seats.
This teacher was an old man in his sixties. Although he was not very knowledgeable, he had at least obtained the title of a scholar in the past. It was naturally a piece of cake for him to teach these young girls.
No one saw Lin Xiu and Zhu Ganghua at this moment. At this moment, they were standing in a corner of the school, listening to the teacher teach and nodding his head frequently.
For a very long period of time, women were often seen as subordinates of men. Their biggest task was to support their husbands and teach their children, and to manage all the affairs of the family. But now that they could come into contact with books, it was as if a door to an unknown world had opened in the hearts of these young girls.
The teacher was also very experienced. He didn't preach to these women right away. Instead, he brought up a very serious topic for them.
"Everyone, now that you can walk out of the house and truly learn the knowledge in books, I would like to ask, what is the purpose of everyone studying?"
The old man in his sixties stroked his snow-white beard and shook his head as he swept his gaze across all the female students present.
How could the girls who entered the school for the first time think of such a profound question? After a long time, one of them stood up timidly and said with a voice as soft as a mosquito, "My mother said that after learning how to read and write, we don't have to do farm work anymore and can marry into a good family in the future."
After the woman finished speaking, her face flushed red and she hurriedly sat down. The teacher unconsciously frowned and looked down at the female students again. He found that many of them were like the female student from before. Their faces were flushed red. Clearly, they had the same goal.
"Senior, if everyone thinks this way, I\'m afraid your ideas won\'t be able to be realized at all." Zhu Ganghua looked at Lin Xiu and said worriedly.
"Rome wasn't built in a day. It is an arduous process to completely liberate their thoughts and concepts. The road is long and far, City Lord Zhu Ganghua still has to explore from top to bottom." Lin Xiu's expression was extremely calm. He had already expected this situation.
However, the words spoken by a little girl with pigtails on her head caused everyone's eyes to light up. Even the teacher nodded inwardly, his expression becoming increasingly amiable.
"The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. I think that we have to learn how to read and write not only to prove that women are not inferior to men, but most importantly, to contribute to the world." Her clear voice resounded throughout the academy, and it caused all the women to lower their heads in shame.
Lin Xiu also looked at the girl with interest and realized that she was one of the two girls he met a few days ago when he first came to this small city.
"These words are still too vague. Rice has to be eaten bite by bite and the road has to be walked step by step. Remember not to bite off more than you can chew, but it is already rare for you to have such thoughts." The teacher first gave the little girl a shot in the arm before praising her.
"I will listen to teacher's teachings, but I feel that we should do things that are beneficial to everyone in this world. Otherwise, if we only care about our own family, that kind of life is too boring." The little girl was not afraid and raised her head again, staring at the old teacher without blinking.
This also made the old teacher interested. He walked down the podium and came to the little girl's side, then asked softly, "So what do you want to study for?"
