Fang Yun looked at several articles on the literary list and found that there were very few people who supported his establishment of the Jinguo Academy, but there were many people who opposed it.
Fang Yun neither published an article nor looked down on them because he was standing at a higher perspective. He just felt that the burden on him was heavier.
Late at night, Fang Yun announced the end of the literary gathering and everyone left one after another. Many people who were obsessed with calligraphy were reluctant to leave. They neither used Pingbu Qingyun nor took a carriage. Instead, they walked slowly towards Kongcheng in groups of three or five, discussing Yan style as they walked.
Some people question the Jinguo Academy, but no one doubts that Yan style will become one of the best regular scripts in human history.
The people in the calligraphy academy have preliminarily decided that Yan style is upright and powerful, with a regular structure, and is most suitable for young people to learn, and will immediately promote it among the human race.
When most people had left, many women from the Women's Society walked up to Fang Yun, each with a look of gratitude on their face.
No matter how those people in the Li Hall try to suppress it, today's events will surely spread among the human race. According to the rules, the "Wen Bao" must report today's events, and the words "Jinguo Academy" cannot be avoided in any way.
While "Ode to Women" seems to have limited practicality at present, since it is a war poem handed down from generation to generation, everyone can learn it, and it will inevitably be included in "The Way of the Sacred".
If the Women's Society was previously just a private group of women in Shengyuan Continent who huddled together for warmth, then starting today, this society has opened a new chapter and is truly making its mark in Shengyuan Continent.
No one expected that Fang Yun's seemingly ordinary visit would cause such a sensation.
"On behalf of the entire Women's Society and all the women of the human race, I would like to thank Fang Xusheng!" Yang Xunlou said, and the other women followed suit and saluted.
Fang Yun said: "It's not too late to thank you after I finish a few words."
Everyone's heart trembled and they stared at Fang Yun nervously, feeling quite helpless. This Fang Xusheng had always been like this, always taking people by surprise. If he didn't say it clearly, it would be difficult for others to fully understand his true thoughts.
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "The Jinguo Academy has been built. No matter in name or in reality, I am the dean of this academy. Therefore, if there is any problem with this academy, I will be implicated, and the subsequent blessings will also be related to me. However, I don't have much energy and time to manage the Jinguo Society, but I can't really just leave it alone. Do you all understand this?"
The girls nodded hastily. They were really afraid that Fang Yun would just give up.
Fang Yun said: "The Women's Society is, after all, a women's society. As a man, I can't get too involved. How about this? I don't want management rights, nor other powers, but I have the right to recommend some women with both moral integrity and talent to serve in the Women's Society and play a supervisory role. How do you think?"
Not only did the top leaders of the Women's Society not object, but they all looked delighted.
Yang Xunlou immediately said: "We will discuss a charter within three days and plan to establish an organization similar to the 'Supervisory Yuan' or 'Imperial Censorate' of various countries. There will be one director and two deputies. Only you have the right to recommend. If you are not in Shengyuan Continent, the right to recommend will be given to the Fang family."
Fang Yun nodded and said, "It will be implemented temporarily and we will improve it gradually in the future. Before you leave, I want to tell you something that is extremely important to the Women's Society."
All the women instinctively took a deep breath, straightened their bodies, and waited quietly.
Fang Yun said slowly: "This saint is well versed in ancient studies, and the Lüshi Chunqiu also records that in ancient times, people knew their mothers but not their fathers, and women were respected. Do you know why?"
All the women shook their heads slightly.
"The most important thing for human beings is food and clothing. Therefore, those who can feed people have a higher status. In ancient times, the main role of men was hunting, but hunting was extremely unstable, while women were engaged in a large number of duties such as simple gathering and animal husbandry. They were far more important than men, so women had an important status at that time, and that period can be called a matriarchal society."
Many women suddenly realized and nodded.
Fang Yun continued, "But everything changes. The 'Yi' in the Book of Changes originally means change. As the human race continues to develop, farming and fighting have become the main themes of the human race, and men are much stronger than women, so as the laws of nature change, men naturally come from behind and have a higher status. Do you understand?"
The women nodded.
Fang Yun shook his head gently and said, "You don't understand. In a matriarchal society, women are respected because they make the greatest sacrifices and gain the most, so the way of heaven recognizes them as respected. In a patriarchal society, men bear the cruelest part, fighting! Men defend their country and shed blood on the battlefield, allowing more people to live and work in peace and contentment, and allowing more people to avoid catastrophic disasters. They make the greatest sacrifices, play the greatest role, and have the greatest power, so now men are superior to women."
Fang Yun looked at everyone with bright eyes.
All the women listened attentively, afraid of missing any word.
Even women with profound knowledge such as Yang Xunlou and Su Xiaoxiao were like children for a moment.
"Innovation is not a dinner party!" Fang Yun said, pointing to Daofeng Mountain.
"The people who live there can destroy the demons and barbarians with a single word, and kill the demon saints with a single word. You, at least have strength that is not inferior to theirs, to be qualified to sit on an equal footing! What I said is hard to hear and cruel, but it is a fact that you must face! No matter how you complain, how dissatisfied you are, or how you curse, it is useless! The moral laws of any world need power to maintain them!"
The women were silent, and some of them lowered their heads deeply, feeling ashamed.
Fang Yun stood up and walked slowly towards Kongcheng, saying as he walked: "The soldiers who sacrificed before the reform was successful will never enjoy the fruits of victory, so, are you prepared to die before dawn? If not, don't be so arrogant, go home and read your "Female Commandments" and learn your three obediences and four virtues! In this era, only blood can build the ladder to rise!"
The whole place was silent. Some male scholars who had not left looked at Fang Yun silently, and they felt that Fang Yun's back was extremely majestic.
It was not until Fang Yun got into the Longma luxury car that the women gradually came to their senses. Some of them felt as if they had become enlightened and understood many things that they did not understand before.
Yang Xunlou faced the Longma luxury car, bowed in greeting, and said with a firm look, "Thank you for your guidance, Saint Fangxu!"
The other women hurriedly bowed and thanked Fang Yun.
However, some women's eyes flickered, as if they were about to retreat.
Yang Yuhuan, Su Xiaoxiao and others hurriedly followed, got on the carriages one after another, and slowly left the Jinguo Academy.
The women looked at Longma's luxury car and stood in front of the door, silent for a long time.
Only after the Longma luxury car completely disappeared from sight did the women of the Women's Society begin to clean up the tables and chairs.
Under the star of Wenqu, the four words "Jinguo Academy" become more upright.
Not long after, a Jinshi posted what Fang Yun said to the women of the Women's Society on the list of literary works, which immediately sparked a heated debate. Unexpectedly, no one was discussing the previous articles questioning and opposing Fang Yun.
Compared with what Fang Yun said, the views in those articles were simply outdated and exuded a disgusting stench.
Because of this article, the attitudes of the people participating in the literary list changed, and many people who had originally strongly opposed Fang Yun gradually became neutral.
