Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 299: A City Outside the Boundary

"Freedom?" The girls chattered, "Isn't Shangyuan City free?"

"No, the most I can say is that the Wushuang Pavilion is not so free."

"Yes, but we can redeem ourselves."

"After you redeem yourself, you will be the same as everyone else, right?"

"Unless no one comes to redeem him for the rest of his life, and he doesn't save enough money...then the days to come will be really sad."

"Stop talking, I won't become like that!"

Probably because of Xia Fan's young age and his lack of airs in dealing with others, everyone was still talking and laughing even though they were senior officials of the fourth rank, and most people felt that freedom was not so rare.

Only Yu Shuangxue looked serious.

She took a deep breath and stood up.

"My lord, can I ask a few questions?"

"Sister Yu?" Xin Tao was taken aback. It was the first time she saw the other party, and she would take the initiative to show her head on such an occasion.

Xia Fan looked at her with great interest, "Please tell me."

"About the freedom you mentioned—can a woman live alone in the city without being dependent on others?"

"Can."

"When the neighbors bully her, humiliate her, and use various means to squeeze her out, will the government deal with it fairly, or will they turn a blind eye to it because of her former status?"

"Jinxia City will not allow such a thing to happen. For the residents, gender and identity are not factors that distinguish the way of treatment."

Yu Shuangxue raised her voice a little more, "What if she wants to show her face and engage in business, handicrafts, and even ceremonies?"

"Why do you ask your lord such a question..."

"I'm afraid what you said is not appropriate?"

"That's right, if a woman goes out every day, won't she be judged by others?"

Xia Fan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "As I said, teacher is the most recommended position at present, but everyone has the freedom to work according to their own preferences. So the answer is yes, as long as you meet the requirements, you can take up any position, If someone complains about this, it will only stay at the stage of criticism at most-and words alone cannot stop a person from doing what he wants to do."

"My lord...is there really such a place?"

The other party answered so smoothly, Yu Shuangxue couldn't believe it. She expected that some of the points would be rejected, or the question would be ignored by the other party, but as long as she was partially satisfied, at least it meant that Jin Xia had something special. place. After all, everyone has different views and requirements on the word "freedom", just like a bird in a cage only cares about the distance it can spread its wings, while a night owl flying in the wild is trapped in the daytime.

The only thing she didn't expect was that the other party not only fully understood the meaning of freedom in her mouth, it was even far more profound than she imagined!

"Jinxia City is such a place." Xia Fan said with a smile, "I know what you really care about—that's right. There, men and women will not be treated differently in terms of policy. In a sense , you can live independently like a man, and any interference with your behavior is a violation of Jinxia's law. Not only that, we support, or encourage you to leave your house, from the south to the north of the city, there will be no place restrictions Your passage, the entire city... and even the surrounding areas are free for you, and I can guarantee this in the name of Fu Cheng."

Yu Shuangxue opened her mouth, and suddenly found that she didn't know what to say.

She rejected all the promises of marriage, and naturally she paid a price for it. Except for the reward that Sister Hong withheld, the money left in her hand was not enough to support her to spend the rest of her life alone, and her identity also determined her. It is doomed that it is impossible to earn money by one's own ability and hands.

She knew all too well what would happen if she did that.

If a store is opened, the store is likely to be smashed.

No one is willing to take in a short-term job for someone—unless the boss has other plans.

In addition, her status is lower than that of a good family, and she will be hindered a hundred times in everything she does.

It all comes down to the fact that she doesn't have a "pillar" behind her.

Even if this pillar is just a decoration.

She couldn't get out of the Wushuang Pavilion, not because it was a cage, but because the whole city was a huge prison. And nothing will change outside of the city.

Just like the night owl is trapped by day, no matter where it flies, it can never cross the boundary of night.

But now, she seemed to hear a place that was completely different from Shangyuan City and even Daqi.

"My lord..." Yu Shuangxue murmured after a while, "Why do you want us to be masters? Although we also know the Four Books and Five Classics, but in the end it is—"

"I don't intend for you to teach those. You can understand it as another kind of elementary school. The focus is not on reciting poems and correcting them, but on understanding the truth." Xia Fan interrupted, "In order to achieve this, students must master it as soon as possible. Reading and writing skills. What's more, Jinxia City has a lot of people to teach, so the more teachers, the better."

"Excuse me... how many people are there?"

"Probably tens of thousands."

These words made everyone take a breath.

Tens of thousands—doesn't that mean that most of the people in the city will participate in it?

Yu Shuangxue asked almost subconsciously, "Why did Jinxia City do this?"

"Teaching knowledge seems to be teaching karma and dispelling doubts, but it is actually shaping a person's cognition. If more people want to distinguish right from wrong and understand the changes in Jinxia City, it is necessary to promote the correct ideas as widely as possible. Come—the freedom you've been looking for is one of them."

She couldn't hear it very well, but she could feel that what the other party said was definitely not fabricated on a whim.

If it's just for coaxing, there's no need for him to speak in such detail.

Yu Shuangxue only had one last question left.

"My family is already twenty-five years old, even at this age... don't you think there is anything wrong?"

"Sister Yu..." Xintao covered her mouth in surprise.

There was also a wave of commotion in the crowd, "No way, is she showing her favor to Mr. Fu Cheng?"

"Isn't she the one who likes to pretend to be noble and doesn't talk to other men at all?"

Although the voice of similar discussions was very low, one or two sentences still penetrated into Yu Shuangxue's ears, but she had long been used to it, and she was too lazy to give her eyes. At this moment, her attention was all on the opposite side. on the man.

After hearing this, Xia Fan laughed, "Shouldn't twenty-five years old be the age of youth? If they are all girls in their teens, I would have a headache whether they can control their peers who are almost the same age as me. In fact, not to mention twenty-five years old, even thirty-five or forty-five years old, as long as there is a skill, it is still a talent that Jinxia City is eager for." At this point he paused, "Also, is it appropriate? It doesn't all depend on Jinxia City's situation, but also depends on personal changes."

"Personal... change?" Yu Shuangxue couldn't help repeating.

"Yes." Xia Fan cast an encouraging look, and said in a gentle tone, "For example, you can try to let go of the previous self-proclaimed name and use 'I' to call yourself."
