On this day, family and gender conflicts among human beings are more intense than ever before.
Husbands beat their wives, fathers beat their daughters, brothers beat their sisters…
The origin of all conflicts is whether women can participate in the imperial examinations.
Men everywhere tore up women's books, threw away women's study supplies, and began to suppress women on a large scale.
However, another piece of news exploded the Shengyuan Continent.
Jingguo has successively introduced three new sets of laws.
"Law on Protection of Women's Rights and Interests", "Law on Protection of Children's Rights and Interests" and "Compulsory Education Law".
In the new law, the right of women and children to receive education shall not be violated. Starting from next year, all school-age children in the country, starting from the age of seven, regardless of gender, must receive six years of compulsory education, and compulsory education will be extended in the future.
In Jingguo, any parent who obstructs their children's education will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than seven years. If they publicly advocate opposition to the new law, they will be sentenced for subverting the Jingguo regime, with a minimum sentence of ten years in prison.
During the compulsory education process, all expenses will be borne by the Jing State Treasury. If the treasury is unable to afford it, the Xuemang Chamber of Commerce will provide it free of charge.
Before entering the ancient land of Haiya, Fang Yun had already proposed five-year compulsory education, but it was only a reform plan and had not been made into law, so Jingguo had never implemented it. Especially after Fang Yun entered the ancient land of Haiya, many reforms were interrupted.
But now, compulsory education has been formally legislated and will be enforced nationwide.
At the same time, there is also a seemingly insignificant amendment to the law. The age of criminal responsibility has been significantly lowered. Above the age of criminal responsibility, the same punishment will be imposed on the same person, and age cannot be a factor affecting sentencing.
The explanation for the legal amendment is very clear. This is done to let children have legal concepts at a very young age. Most of the targets of juvenile crimes are their peers. This is to truly protect young children. At the same time, human beings are constantly progressing. In ancient times, teenagers knew nothing. As their education level and the amount of information they receive increase, young children are becoming more and more precocious. If we still unconditionally protect juvenile criminals, we are harming truly law-abiding children and adult citizens.
As expected, the first people to oppose the new law this time were still the people of Jing, and they were the legal people of Jing.
After the three laws came out, there was a clear split in the discussion.
The vast majority of people are opposed to the Women's Protection Law. Only a very small number of educated people who experienced domestic violence between their mothers and their fathers in childhood or who witnessed female relatives being abused support it.
However, those who oppose it are overwhelmingly in favor.
More and more people began to support the child protection law, but most of the scholars who held parental authority were still opposed to it, believing that Fang Yun was going against the patriarchal system and denying their ancestors.
The Compulsory Education Law sparked the most heated debate.
Some people were completely opposed to it, but many people with lofty ideals felt that forcing boys to receive elementary education was a huge step forward, and they highly praised Fang Yun, but did not mention girls. Only a very small number of people also supported girls' education.
As a result, the discussion board was split from a large battlefield for the crusade against Fang Yun into countless small battlefields.
People have stopped cursing Fang Yun and are now engaging in a heated debate about the new law.
Someone ridiculed that Fang Yun just threw a bone and a group of dogs started to grab it frantically.
It is absolutely impossible for humans to remain sane.
That is, on the second day after the promulgation of the three new laws of Jing State, King Wu issued an imperial decree to fully implement the "Compulsory Education Law", but it did not involve the other two laws.
Those who opposed the new law immediately mocked Wu Jun as "Wu Jun learning to walk."
Wu Jun was so excited that he sent a special envoy to Jing State to ask Fang Yun to give him the handwritten holy book "Wu Jun Xue Bu". Fang Yun's clone was in Jingjing and gave him the calligraphy without hesitation.
Wu Jun directly hung the four words "Wu Jun Learns to Walk" behind the dragon throne, and repeatedly looked at them every day before and after court, as if he had found a treasure.
The entire human race was shocked by Wu Jun’s shamelessness.
The logic became clearer as the debate went on, and soon the debate about the Compulsory Education Law stopped.
Because, Dongsheng Pavilion announced that it recommends that all countries promote the "Compulsory Education Law" under certain conditions, and highly praised Jingguo and Wuguo.
Soon, everyone knew a big thing. Because of the birth of the "Compulsory Education Law", the holy way of human education and all the holy ways, whether it is Confucianism, Legalism, Industry, Agriculture or Military Science, all the main holy ways of the human race, are rapidly strengthening!
The effectiveness of this law far exceeds that of Shang Yang's reforms, and it can be regarded as the most helpful law to the holy way in human history.
Faced with such a great achievement, even those who were most hostile to Fang Yun had to shut up.
Because if you are stubborn in the face of ironclad facts, the price you pay may be the shattering of your literary courage and the collapse of your literary palace.
So, people turned to attack the other two new laws.
The victory of the Compulsory Education Law has changed the concepts of some scholars. More scholars support the protection of children, and the number of scholars supporting the protection of women is also gradually increasing.
What many educated people did not expect was that the number of non-educated people supporting these two laws began to increase.
Soon, everyone found the culprit.
Xiangzhou's "Min Bao" has spread to various countries, especially after the death of King Qing, even the Qing Kingdom did not dare to obstruct the "Min Bao".
In these days, Min Bao has been publishing various negative news about the abuse of women and children, which has given the human race a clear understanding of the treatment of women and children.
The concepts of men who are filial to their mothers, love their wives, and adore their daughters are gradually changing.
After learning the truth, the few educated people who had originally opposed these two laws sighed to the sky, realizing that the situation was hopeless.
They knew that compared to Fang Yun, they were far inferior in all aspects. It was not an ant against an elephant, but an ant against a dragon saint!
Therefore, in order to continue to oppose Fang Yun, these people reduced their discussion of the new law and instead criticized Fang Yun's policy on imperial examination quotas.
Just when the second wave of criticism against Fang Yun was rising, Fang Yun personally issued the decree in the Holy Court.
Fang Yun officially became the chief examiner this year and announced that the number of admissions for all civil service examinations this year would be increased by 30%!
Those children still had complaints, but the students, scholars and juren were very happy. Thirty percent was a very large number.
Because women can only take part in the Tongsheng examination this year, even if there are talented people who pass the Tongsheng examination and continue to take part in this year's Xiucai examination, the total number will only be a few thousand, and the impact on non-Mongolian children will be minimal.
As a result, some people who had originally reacted particularly strongly gave up their opposition and became silent.
You are soft-hearted when you eat other people's food, and you are stingy when you take other people's things.
Many scholars suspected that Fang Yun was actually compromising with the scholars by doing this. Since he had already gained benefits, there was no need to pursue it relentlessly. He should just wait and see the situation first.
The voices of opposition dropped sharply.
The discussion list finally returned to normal. Although there were people attacking Fang Yun for allowing women to participate in the imperial examinations every day, the momentum was no longer there.
However, opposition to Fang Yun is still the biggest wave on the discussion list.
The scholars of Qing Kingdom are still the backbone of this wave.
Until Fang Yun issued the second imperial decree.
