Chapter 334: What’s the Use of Women studying?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Little Cat led the children to pick the cocoa fruits. There were dark guards patrolling the surroundings, so as to ensure the children’s safety. Bai Wutong wanted to make use of the time to walk around the beach before the sun completely set. Cui Shize walked over and said, ‘Madam Bai, should we still build the place according to the original appearance of Youjia Village?”

Bai Wutong frowned. There were only a few thousand people in Youjia Village at that time, but there were 100,000 people now.

Including the soldiers, there were nearly 200,000 people.

It was clearly impossible to build housing for 200,000 people like before.

Of course, Cui Shize knew that it would not work, but he had a feeling that Bai Wutong had a better plan.

It was also a very blissful thing to participate in building a beautiful home.

Bai Wutong said, “We have a lot of people now. We have to do city plan. We have to find professional talents in this area. Everyone can discuss it together.

While building, we can reserve some space and gradually expand.”

Although Bai Wutong could give some suggestions, she was not a professional after all. There were some basic needs of ancient people that she might not understand.

Cui Shize nodded in agreement. ‘Then I’ll gather everyone now?’

Everyone wanted to settle down as soon as possible, and Bai Wutong also gave up on going to the beach. Anyway, there would be time in the future. If she went at this time, it would be dark later, and the sea breeze would be strong. Bai Wutong told him yes, and Cui Shize immediately went to call for the others.

After a while, the huge meeting tent was filled with people.

Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong sat on the right side of the group. You Huaijie sat on the left side of the group, followed by Yang Quanzi, Cui Shize, Cui Shiji, Cui Lingyi, Sheng Huaixuan, Village Chief Zhao...

Many people did not have seats and could only stand. There were also many others who could only surround the tent.

Gu Liancheng had been paying close attention to Bai Wutong’s every move. She wanted to know what they were doing, so she pulled the unsuspecting Gu Chilie over.

Gu Chilie lifted the tent and looked. Good lord, all the important people were present. Even Lu Ye was here, but no one called him.

Cui Shize had also considered calling Gu Chilie. Chu Tianbao said that there was no need, so he did not call him.

In any case, it was the same to ask Lu Ye about the construction needs for the army.

Well, actually, no one wanted him to come over.

Gu Chilie asked, “What are you guys doing?”

You Huaijie said, “Discussing the construction of the city.”

Gu Chilie wanted to flare up at Bai Wutong for not calling him for the construction of the city. When he realized that it would be even more embarrassing if he shouted, he walked straight towards Bai Wutong and gestured for her to give up her seat.

It was inappropriate for a woman to show her face here.

Bai Wutong pretended not to see it and sat firmly like a mountain. You Huaijie got someone to bring another chair and let him sit at the end of the meeting table.

This position gave people a domineering aura that looked down on the world. Even Chu Tianbao and You Huaijie were below him, so Gu Chilie was satisfied and sat down, his anger lessening.

He was about to say something when he realized that there were quite a number of women seated down.

Bai Wutong, Cui Lingyi, Qingfeng... But his daughter, Gu Liancheng, could not even enter the tent.

Gu Chilie immediately stirred up trouble. ‘Why are women sitting here?”

His expression made everyone’s eyes darken.

For a moment, the air froze and there was an eerie silence.

Gu Chilie sensed that everyone was displeased with him. He became even more aggressive. “Hurry up and get out! We have something serious to talk about! ”

You Huaijie made his stance clear. “They are also an important part of the construction of our city.”

Gu Chilie had never heard that women had to participate in the construction of the city. He mocked bluntly, “How many bricks can they carry, or how many shovels of soil can they shovel? It’s simply nonsense for women to participate in the Imperial Court’s discussions!”

Chu Tianbao’s eyes turned cold and he wanted to argue with Gu Chilie. Bai

Wutong grabbed his hand in time and said firmly, “Women can carry bricks and shovel dirt. When the Imperial Court holds meetings, they can easily be more outstanding. What men can’t do, women can easily do. What men can’t do, women can also do.’

She sounded quite arrogant. Those who did not know better would think that Bai Wutong was the emperor of the Ling Kingdom.

Gu Chilie sneered. “Tell me, what can a man not do and you can?”

Bai Wutong smiled. “Could it be that Marshal Gu can give birth?”

As soon as she said this, Gu Chilie’s face turned black. Everyone could not help but smile.

Gu Chilie wanted to shout that without a man, a woman could not give birth, but he really could not argue about such a topic with a woman in public, who was his daughter-in-law in title.

Gu Chilie was speechless, so everyone officially started the discussion.

About 15,000 of the 100,000 citizens were exiled prisoners and women bought by Sheng Huaixuan.

The remaining people were all ordinary citizens.

The ordinary citizens would be assigned to their own homestead and the corresponding cultivation land.

Now that there was no longer a war, it was impossible for Gu Chilie’s 80,000 elite soldiers to continue eating without repayment.

When it was time to train, they had to train. When they had to work, they had to work. Their labour had to be put to good use.

Therefore, they could not be excluded from building houses and distributing fields.

Bai Wutong made five specific divisions according to the plan of the modern city: business district, industrial district, residential area, administrative area, and reserved area.

These five basic aeras could form the basic foundations of the city.

Of course, it could also be divided into more detailed areas: villa areas, suburbs, agricultural complexes...

As the city was built, more people would enter and the area would also expand. If they expanded the business area, industrial area, residential area, administrative area, and reserved area in a fixed area, it would cause delays and inconvenience.

On the basis of the original construction, building new five districts and continuously expanding them like a beehive would solve this problem.

Everyone felt that Bai Wutong’s plan was not bad, and they raised many additional suggestions.

Apart from the basic construction, everyone also discussed the construction of the academy, martial arts arena, girls’ school, medical center, and so on.

Hearing that they were going to build a girls’ school, Gu Chilie disagreed. “What girls’ school? Women should stay at home obediently!” After saying that, he specially glared at Bai Wutong, indicating that he was dissatisfied with her.

He objected to building a girls’ school. Cui Lingyi stood up immediately. “Marshal Gu, are you afraid that men are inferior to women?’

Bai Wutong had Chu Tianbao’s support, so he endured it when she retaliated him.

Cui Lingyi was nothing. Gu Chilie stood up and slammed the table. “From ancient times until now, I’ve never heard of a woman going to school! This is treason!’

Cui Lingyi was not to be outdone. ‘Who said that we can’t set up a private girls’ school? Did the current emperor say so? Since he didn’t say so, why can’t women build an academy?”

Gu Chilie was so angry that his face no longer remained the same. As expected, no one who could sit here with Bai Wutong was good!

‘What’s the use of a woman studying? Don’t tell me you want to take the imperial examination!”
