Zhou Qingfeng taught two classes and systematically taught some basic geographical knowledge to the students he recruited. For the ordinary people who only saw the land of Fu Shun, their horizons instantly surpassed the vast majority of bureaucrats and intellectuals of this era.
Rivers, mountains, cities, and oceans. The content of the two classes was simple and condensed, but it immediately aroused the curiosity of everyone inside and outside the classroom. The students in the classroom looked at Zhou Qingfeng with excited expressions and looked at the map behind him. Because behind these two simple classes was a wealth of knowledge, these people had the concept of "the world" for the first time.
"Okay, tonight's class ends here. I'll give you ten minutes to ask questions, "Zhou Qingfeng stood on the podium. He had been talking non-stop for a long time, but he still wanted to continue. When facing good students, teaching and educating them was an addictive responsibility.
When it was time to ask questions, the classroom became quiet. Their deeply shocked minds were repeatedly recalling the knowledge Zhou Qingfeng taught, but it was too difficult to take the initiative to ask questions. They had long been used to passively accepting the information conveyed by their superiors, and rarely had their own thoughts.
But young people were young people after all, and soon someone opened his mouth to ask a few superficial questions. Qiao Xuenan was listening attentively, feeling that this class was an eye-opener. Suddenly, someone next to him touched his arm and said, "Hey … go ask a question for me."
Qiao Xuenan turned his head, and it was the girl who called herself "Sang Xiu 'er." Seeing her eyes staring at him, he immediately felt the blood rush to his head again. His face was burning, and he said, "I … I don't know what to ask. Why don't you ask it yourself? "
After saying this, Qiao Xuenan felt that he was so stupid …
The girl lowered her head, and her face was as red as a mosquito. She said, "I'm a woman. It's so embarrassing to stand up and ask. Ask one question for me. "
Qiao Xuenan didn't know where the hot blood came from, but he opened his mouth and shouted, "Boss said that men and women are equal. Women can also ask questions. "
A new word, a new word, this is definitely a new word!
Qiao Xuenan's voice was so loud that everyone in the classroom could hear him. After he shouted, his heart started to race. Zhou Qingfeng had just answered a question and happened to hear this sentence. He was delighted and thought to himself, "Good, finally someone can keep up with my thoughts." He locked onto the person who spoke and immediately shouted, "Qiao Xuenan, you're right. Do you have any questions? "
Qiao Xuenan immediately pointed to the girl at the same table and said, "It's her. Her name is Sang Xiu 'er."
The girl at the same table immediately changed her expression. She lowered her head and hid behind the people in the front row. She even puffed up her cheeks and glared fiercely at Qiao Xuenan. Qiao Xuenan was shocked and thought to himself, When did I offend her?
On stage, Zhou Qingfeng said, "Student Sang, if you have a question, why don't you stand up and ask it? Be brave. I'm not a man-eating tiger. "
The classroom burst into laughter. Sang Xiu 'er was forced to stand up with her head down, but she didn't say a word. Zhou Qingfeng waited for a long time, but he didn't want to let go of this opportunity for publicity. He took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Student Sang, do you have a mother?"
"Yes," Sang Xiu 'er was shocked and said weakly. She thought to herself, "Do I have to implicate my family when I do something wrong?"
But on stage, Zhou Qingfeng continued to laugh and said, "I also have a mother. Hundreds of people in this classroom have mothers. Our mothers are all women because men can't give birth to children. "
Ah … Another burst of laughter.
"I know why you don't dare to ask, and I know you're afraid. But I want to tell you, as a woman, you're not inferior to a man. Because everyone in this world is born of women. What right do we have to discriminate against women? If women are lowly, then aren't we, who are born by women, even more lowly?
I've said many times that men and women are equal. Women should also have the same rights as men.
I know how oppressive the Daming Dynasty is to women, so much so that there are a lot of bad habits specifically targeting women. For example, drowning baby girls, forcing women to bind their feet, and locking women at home and not allowing them to show their faces. A lot of things happen naturally to men, but when it happens to women, it's a great sin. These are all wrong.
I believe that only the mother of a hero can give birth to the children of a hero. I know that you must be conflicted with what I said, and even the women themselves will feel that what I said is wrong. But I have only one thing to say — those who want to challenge me must be able to beat me.
Under my rule, you must follow my ideas, my rules, and my laws. Whether you understand or not, you must carry them out. Because I know that even if you don't understand it today, you will understand it in the future. Even if you can't understand it in this lifetime, your next generation will. "
Zhou Qingfeng's words were powerful and awe-inspiring. Everyone who listened to him felt numb and goosebumps all over their bodies. These words were even more shocking than the introduction of geographical knowledge. It was simply rebellious and earth-shattering.
"Well, today's class ends here. Dismissed." Zhou Qingfeng packed up his handouts, nodded slightly to everyone, and left. Compared to the liveliness of the geography class, his last sentence made everyone quiet.
After class, everyone went home to find their mothers. Qiao Xuenan looked at the girl at his desk. This time, he wanted to say a few words to her. But Sang Xiu 'er didn't even look at him. She even stepped on his foot. Finally, she walked to the door of the classroom with her head down and dejectedly called out to a middle-aged man, "Dad."
The middle-aged man also had an angry face. He said in a low voice, "Go home." Then he took the girl away. Qiao Xuenan followed from behind, but the dispersed crowd soon drowned the father and daughter. He didn't know where they went. He could only repeat the name "Sang Xiu 'er" in his heart.
Sang Xiu 'er left the school with her father and returned to a nice big house with the help of the torches on the street. They knocked on the door and entered the house. A middle-aged woman greeted them and said with a smile, "Hey … You and your daughter are finished. Boss, what did you teach tonight? "
The middle-aged man snorted and angrily walked into the second courtyard with his hands behind his back. The middle-aged woman quickly pulled Sang Xiu 'er over and asked, "What's wrong with your father? He's giving me an angry look as soon as he comes home. Did you get into trouble? "
Sang Xiu 'er had a bitter face. She didn't know where to start. The children in the house heard that something was wrong and hurriedly came out of their respective rooms. In the end, they saw their father standing in the yard, sulking. Among the sons, the eldest saw that the situation was not right and quickly kicked the youngest. The youngest understood immediately. He stepped forward and asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Seeing his children staring at him, the middle-aged man snorted again and said, "I told you, our Sang family shouldn't be with that Zhou guy. He killed the head of our Sang Family Village, made a scene, and now he wants to teach my daughter bad things. This person is treacherous and will get into trouble sooner or later. "
As soon as they heard their father's words, the children all showed an expression of 'I can't be bothered to listen to the same old story'. The youngest waved his hand and said, "Hey … I thought it was something big. I still have to go study. There's a test in a few days. If I don't do well, I'll be scolded. "
The eldest son said lazily, "I've been working all day, and I'm tired. Mom, talk to Dad for a while. I have to go to bed. "The other three sons all found excuses and left in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that his sons didn't take him seriously, the middle-aged man scolded angrily, "Look, look, they've been taught bad things. I can't control my sons, and now I can't control my daughter either. That Zhou guy is talking about equality. He's trying to rebel against me. Since ancient times, there has been order. Women should follow the 'three obediences and four virtues'. How can they have so much power? "
The middle-aged man was so angry that he raised his voice. His wife pulled him aside and said, "Sang Youshen, that's enough! I don't like what you said. You're just a carpenter. What do you know about the 'three obediences and four virtues'? If you have the guts, recite it for me. "
"The three obediences are …" Sang Carpenter really couldn't recite it. He stuttered and said, "How can it be wrong when the ancients said it?"
"The ancients gave you food to eat, and the ancients gave you clothes to wear?" Sang Carpenter's wife put her hands on her hips and shouted without showing any weakness, "You talk too much nonsense. You've forgotten who you are after eating for a few days. Our family used to be farmers, and we could enter the city because of the boss. Do you have a conscience to say this behind our back? "
After being reprimanded by his wife, Sang Carpenter suddenly became silent. His wife turned to ask her daughter, "What's going on? What did your father do? "
Sang Xiu 'er's ability to speak was not good enough, so she couldn't completely reconstruct what Zhou Qingfeng said. But with her mother's support, she was a little more courageous. She used a phrase she mastered in her daily study to summarize Zhou Qingfeng's meaning in a simple and clear way. "The boss taught us a lot of interesting things. Finally, he said 'women hold up half the sky.' Dad was not happy when he heard this. "
Sang Carpenter's wife was overjoyed. She smiled and praised, "Look, the boss is so eloquent. In order to raise you from childhood, it was my mother who held up half the sky for you. Otherwise, how could so many children follow your father's surname? But he always likes to get angry. He's really heartless. Xiu 'er will sleep with me tonight, and let your father sleep on the cold kang. "
The yard quickly became quiet, and Sang Carpenter was completely speechless. He originally came back angry and felt that he was very reasonable, but when he got home, he was full of anger. Watching his wife take their little daughter back to the house and lock the door, he stood alone in the yard in a daze. After a while, he dejectedly went to fetch water to wash his feet, took the washboard, and knocked on the door of the master bedroom.
The next day, Sang Xiu 'er got up early in the morning and made breakfast for the whole family with the other women. Now that the family had more money and food, they changed to three meals a day. Because of this, her third brother quickly married a wife. Her third sister-in-law's eyes lit up when she found that the Sang family could eat white rice and white flour every day.
In the morning, they steamed bread, and the whole family ate happily. There was a lot of wheat in the north, but steamed rice with wheat was not tasty at all. It was a coarse grain. But as long as the wheat was ground into flour and fermented to make noodles, it would be a good refined grain. It was nutritious and easy to digest, much better than wheat rice.
In the past, using human and animal power to grind flour was very inefficient. Sang Xiu 'er recently heard from her father that their carpentry team and blacksmith team worked together to solve problems and completed the imitation of the hydraulic mill one month after the boss left. They used the muddy river outside Fushun to grind the flour, which increased the efficiency by dozens of times.
This was the only major project that was not affected when the boss left Fushun and was completed according to plan. When Zhou Qingfeng came back and learned of this, he was overjoyed and loudly praised the enthusiasm of the carpentry team and blacksmith team. On the same day, more than a dozen craftsmen, including Sang Carpenter, received rewards and allowances from the boss and were recorded as' important engineering and technical personnel 'in their files.
With such a title, Sang Carpenter's monthly salary doubled. Countless people secretly envied him, and he became an example to follow. Everyone was sure that the boss was really good to the craftsmen.
After breakfast, Sang Xiu 'er took her schoolbag and went to school with her sister. She was now a student in the primary class of the school. She did not have to do any work and was forced to study. Because of her good grades, she was specially allowed to attend Zhou Qingfeng's' activist 'class.
As soon as she left the house, Sang Xiu 'er saw a group of men from the voluntary labor team carrying shovels pass by her. Among them, a thin young man's eyes lit up when he saw her, and he waved his hand and called her name. Wasn't he the fool who made her lose face last night? Sang Xiu 'er lowered her head and hurriedly ran away.
