Chapter 338: Victory
The people who are least worried now are those who love their daughter. Their daughter has been studying since she was young and is the most competitive among all the people. Since they love their daughter, they naturally hope that their daughter can have a good future.
The second is speculators. But since they are speculators, they are eager to reap the rewards after placing their bets. As for worrying about the outflow of family resources? It doesn’t matter. There is always a way to solve it.
No one present is a good person. When they really make a choice, it means that there will be corresponding countermeasures afterwards.
The most intense reaction among all the people was from those who neither valued the women in the tribe nor took them seriously, and were even unwilling to follow the trend. When they heard such an imperial decree, they jumped up immediately as if their tails had been stepped on. Their tone was extremely angry, but they did not notice that there were only a few responses.
The emperor had spread the word long ago, so who can be blamed for these people not knowing how to seize the opportunity? The two groups of people in front of them didn’t think there was anything wrong with Ye Shuo not making his words clear. If he didn’t even have this kind of foresight, it was natural for him to be eliminated from the team.
It is almost impossible to ask them to take the initiative to stand up and express their support. After all, the decision made by the emperor is unprecedented, and no one will make a decision easily when the future is unclear.
Ye Shuo’s purpose was not to force these people to express their opinions. It was enough for Ye Shuo that they could remain on the sidelines. The rest were the issues that needed to be resolved.
It’s just that without the help of smart people at the top, these people who are left can’t amount to anything. Even their reasons for opposition are so weak and vulnerable. They just repeat two sentences over and over again. The first is that it is the ancestral rule, and the second is that women are born humble, short-sighted, and cannot bear heavy responsibilities. They are so fierce that it seems that if women become officials, the huge Zhou Dynasty will fall apart in an instant. Some people even say such ridiculous words as “women in power is a sign of the country’s demise.”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shuo raised his eyes and looked at Zou Wu who was standing there with his back straight.
