"Master, I was unable to find Yin-yang Zi. Please punish me!"
Wu Meiniang said dejectedly in the Mo Manor. She had been running around for an entire day, but in the end, she was tricked by Yin-yang Zi.
Meton was not surprised. He said, "The School of Yin-yang has always been mysterious. If it was so easy to find, it would have been lost long ago."
The School of Yin-yang was famous for its prophecies. If it was so easy to expose its whereabouts, it would have been executed many times by the imperial court.
"But Yin-yang Zi has not been found. The prophecies are becoming more and more intense. The behavior of the women in Chang 'an is also becoming more and more unreasonable. Chang' an has already formed a trend against the School of Mo." Uncle Fu frowned.
Meton shook his head. "Yin-yang Zi has not been found, but it does not mean that the School of Mo is unable to change the situation. If a woman suddenly achieves great success, she will be seen as an anomaly. She will even be attacked. However, if countless women can achieve great success, then the so-called female lead will only be the icing on the cake. It will be seen as a normal thing."
"Is that possible?" Wu Meiniang said in disbelief. Although she thought highly of herself, she knew that her success was largely due to chance. Without the help of the Mo family, it would have been as difficult as ascending to the heavens for her to reach her current accomplishments.
"Since you can succeed, then the other women can naturally succeed as well. Next, we need to fully support the women in Chang 'an. The female lead is not just a prophecy, but a fact. In this way, the so-called prophecy will naturally be broken." Meton said firmly.
"I will do as master says." Wu Meiniang said solemnly.
Meton clapped his hands and three women walked in.
"Master's wife, Sister Ziyi, Miss Gongsun." Wu Meiniang looked at the three of them in surprise. She did not expect that the three of them would be alarmed because of her. "
Modun explained, "I've gathered all of you here to discuss something. If we want all the women in the world to prosper, we must set up a perfect role model for all the women in the world. This woman must not lose out to men, and as a woman, she must achieve something that will not lose out to men."
"What's so difficult about that? Although there aren't many women who can go down in history books, each and every one of them is an elite among women. In ancient times, there was Empress Dowager Lu and Empress Dowager Dou. More recently, there is my aunt, Princess Ping Yang. Women joined the army to conquer the world, each and every one of them is a hero among women. " Princess Changle was well-versed in history books and was very familiar with them. Especially when she mentioned Princess Ping Yang, her face was full of admiration.
The other girls also nodded. These extraordinary women were their idols.
However, Meton shook his head and said, "These extraordinary women are indeed heroes among women. However, most of them come from noble backgrounds. The Mo Clan wants to choose a woman from a commoner background who has made outstanding achievements. Only then can all the women in the world be convinced."
"This?" Everyone frowned, not having the slightest clue.
"Zhaojun, go out!" Wu Meiniang said carefully. Zhaojun also came from a poor background, but he made great contributions and was remembered by the world.
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "Not every woman in the world is as beautiful as Zhaojun."
Meton smiled knowingly and said, "I wonder if you have heard of a folk song about the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, 'Ode of Mulan'."
"'Ode of Mulan'?" Everyone was confused and looked at Meton.
Meton then realized that 'Ode of Mulan' was just a folk song. It was only when it was included in the Yuefu poetry collection that it became widely known.
"Could it be Hua Mulan who joined the army on her father's behalf?" Princess Changle was well-versed in poetry and raised her eyebrows.
Meton nodded and took out a poetry collection. He flipped open the 'Ode of Mulan' for everyone to read.
After everyone read it, they were filled with respect. Mulan came from a commoner's background and joined the army on her father's behalf. She fought on the battlefield and made great contributions. In the end, she did not linger on power and resigned. She was indeed the best candidate for the School of Mohism.
"'Ode of Mulan' is easy to read and the story is brilliant. Furthermore, it is a woman who made great contributions as a man. Once it is published, it will definitely be sought after." Wu Meiniang was full of praises. Although she thought highly of herself, she was sincerely convinced by Hua Mulan.
Meton shook his head and said, "This is far from enough. The 'Ode of Mulan' is a poem. There are not many women in the world who are literate. If you want it to be known quickly, you need to find another way. Zi Yi, here is a story about Hua Mulan written by Young Master. Draw it into a comic as soon as possible and publish it with the School of Mohism."
As Meton spoke, he handed a story book to Wu Meiniang. Zi Yi was delighted and quickly took it. One must know that Young Master's stories were all exquisite.
"Miss Gongsun, the School of Mohism has a request." Meton bowed and said.
Gongsun Yue quickly stood up and returned the bow, "Young Master Mo, please speak. Since the School of Mohism has taken me in, I will definitely do my best."
Meton said seriously, "I have composed a song based on the 'Ode of Mulan'. I hope Miss Gongsun can sing it for me."
Gongsun Yue solemnly took the music score and said, "Young Master Mo, please rest assured. Once Gongsun Yue learns it, I will immediately set off and sing it to the world."
Gongsun Yue knew that transmitting Hua Mulan was extremely important to the School of Mohism. She immediately decided to spread the 'Ode of Mulan' throughout the Tang dynasty.
One must know that the last time the 'Ode of Mulan' was promoted, it took nearly two years. One could imagine how determined Gongsun Yue was.
Meton waved his hand and said, "There is no need for that. The 'Ode of Mulan' is also catchy. You only need to recruit some singers and teach them how to sing it. Moreover, the transportation in the Tang dynasty is very convenient now. It will not take a year or two."
Gongsun Yue nodded. However, with her personality, she would not be easily persuaded.
"With the 'Ode of Mulan', 'Painting of Mulan' and 'Ode of Mulan', the story of Hua Mulan's heroism will definitely spread throughout the Tang dynasty and inspire countless girls of the Tang dynasty to become independent. However, there are many obstacles for women nowadays. I hope that my wife, as a princess, can protect those women and prevent them from being treated unfairly. "Meton finally said to Princess Changle solemnly.
Princess Changle said proudly, "Of course. The reason why it is difficult for women to make a name for themselves is that those men are prejudiced against them. As a princess, I will definitely help women."
Meton nodded and said to Uncle Fu beside him, "From now on, all the businesses in the Village of Mohism must recruit a certain proportion of women to work, and they will be paid the same as men. At the same time, the bank in the Village of Mohism will take special care of the existing women-owned businesses in Chang 'an and support a group of female shopkeepers in the Tang dynasty. "
Although Chang 'an was a male-dominated society, there were also a group of women in Chang' an who were struggling to survive in the cracks. With the help of the Village of Mohism, their situation would definitely be greatly improved.
"Yes, Marquis!" Uncle Fu solemnly noted it down.
"Master! What about me? "Wu Meiniang couldn't help asking when she saw that Meton had only left her out in the end.
Meton looked at Wu Meiniang, shook his head and said, "Now you are in the limelight in Chang 'an, and the only thing you need to do is to keep a low profile. But you are also the role model of the younger generation of women in Chang' an, so you can't always be depressed. I will give you a chance to prove yourself again. Prove that your achievements are not only because of the Village of Mohism, but also because of your own ability."
"Master, please give me your orders." Wu Meiniang said solemnly.
"The Mo Family has a cotton spinning workshop in Chang 'an City. It was originally a project that was going to be axed. I need you to lead the workshop to turn its losses into profits. At the same time, you need to recruit female workers and lead them to become rich. You need to show the people of Chang' an what it means to be a woman who is not inferior to a man," Moton said seriously.
"Yes!" Wu Meiniang immediately said with high fighting spirit.
Meton nodded with satisfaction. When the Hua Mulan in the history books and the Hua Mulan in the Tang dynasty appeared at the same time in the eyes of the people in the Tang dynasty, there would definitely be an extremely wonderful reaction. The so-called "the female lead will be prosperous" was no longer a prophecy, but a fact.
