Chapter 298: Education is the only way out for womens rights
"Nicholas!"
The second prince personally came to the office of the Manstein Charitable Foundation, found Mawei in the office, and said as soon as he entered the door: "Do you know about the women's union?"
"Your Highness."
Putting down the pen, Ma Wei motioned to his assistant to pour another cup of hot tea, and then answered the second prince's question: "I've heard about the women's union. Freya's work seems to be very effective."
"Not only is it very effective!" the second prince said quickly: "Freya is simply amazing, okay? She really united the women in London! This is incredible! Even my wife Elizabeth became a
I became a member! I even donated money to the union!”
Freya was able to establish a union and attract so many members in less than a week, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It should be said that before this, most people had not thought that such a thing as a women's union existed.
Ma Wei thought of it, but he was a man and not suitable to lead a women's union.
The assistant placed hot tea and refreshments in front of the second prince. Yunia immediately ran over with her own small teacup and ate the second prince's snacks. Of course, the second prince didn't care about some snacks. He was not even in the mood to drink tea.
No, I only have the issue of women's unions in my mind.
"Nicholas, more and more women are joining the women's union. I heard that many famous nobles have joined in. Freya's power is increasing rapidly..."
"Your Highness, do you doubt Freya?"
"I don't doubt her." The second prince shook his head slowly: "She called on the women in Lambeth District to vote for you in the Archbishop's Park yesterday. I knew she did not betray us..."
"Yesterday, Freya asked someone to vote for me?"
Ma Wei's face was full of astonishment. He didn't receive any news from Fat Orange about such an important matter...Does Fat Orange think this is not important?
No...
This matter is important, but...
It seemed more important for Ma Wei to pretend not to know.
Even if Fat Orange didn't say anything, Ma Wei would soon know that Freya was canvassing votes for him.
"Don't you know?" The second prince was also a little surprised.
"I knew Freya gave a speech at Archbishop Park yesterday, but I didn't know she was canvassing for me..."
"As of this morning, the number of votes cast for you has surged to 5,000, which is less than 500 votes less than Congressman Donnell. If you continue at this rate, I'm afraid your support rate will surpass Congressman Donnell tonight.
, becoming the candidate with the highest support in Lambeth.”
The second prince said happily: "Freya finally helped. She took action at the critical moment and really solved our urgent need."
The development of the potion market, coupled with the establishment of the women's trade union, and successive measures have made Mavey's support soar. Now, no one in London does not know Nicholas von Manstein, even the people on the street are laughing.
Children who are noisy and ignorant of the world will accidentally say the name Nicholas - they learned it from their parents' quarrels.
"Freya openly encourages women to support my candidacy for parliament, which is probably not a good thing." Mawei suddenly said.
"Isn't that a good thing? Why?" The second prince asked puzzledly: "Your support rate is horribly high now! If you continue like this, I'm afraid all the women in London will vote for you! Nowadays, advocating women is a new trend! Just say a few words
Everyone can get support!”
"Because the momentum is too great..." Ma Wei frowned and said: "Women who have suddenly awakened are frantically fighting for power and status. This should be a step-by-step process. If it is too fierce and extreme... I am afraid it will
It will lead to death."
Under the surprised gaze of the second prince, Ma Wei added: "Your Highness, do you think it is wrong for women to rectify their names and strive for equal status with men?"
"It should be right..." The second prince was not sure. He had never experienced such a thing and had no history or experience to draw from.
"Of course this behavior is correct. We are all human beings and no one owes anyone anything. But the problem is that not long ago, the status of women was far lower than that of men. Just like a sudden flood, only by dredging the waterway can we
The harm is minimized.”
Ma Wei said: "Judging from the current situation, once the women's union is established and London women unite, it will form an extremely huge force. They can influence elections, politics, economy, and social stability. For a woman
As for rulers, this phenomenon must be curbed!”
"It has nothing to do with the status of women, but the overly fierce and extreme behavior of women's unions, which threatens social stability."
"But they haven't done anything yet!"
"They have already started." Ma Wei said in a deep voice: "Freya's call for women to vote for me is the beginning. If they regard men as enemies, they will provoke gender opposition. I expect that men will avoid their edge for the time being.
Compromise, but their compromise and tolerance will encourage women's behavior and intensify it. Eventually, they will no longer seek equality between the sexes and start to strive for gender advantages. While evading responsibilities, they will use gender to fight for their own interests... Once it reaches this point
, the situation is not good."
The second prince was startled: "Is it so serious? Don't scare me! It's just setting up a guild. Freya is not an unreasonable person! She knows what to do!"
"I'm afraid that some people don't want to see the rise of women and want to nip this momentum in the cradle." Ma Wei said with a serious face: "The current social body is still dominated by men. Men are responsible for the dirtiest and most tiring work.
Many physical jobs are also beyond the reach of women. In this case, women can only benefit from finding ways to turn men into providers. It may go well at first, but soon men will react and no longer provide for women.
The conflict will escalate again..."
"Men who have woken up have broken away from their status as providers and no longer contribute to the family. The marriage rate and fertility rate have decreased, and the divorce rate has increased. They have begun to pursue more self-lived lives, and even become hostile to women. The decrease in fertility rate,
It will lead to economic downturn and consumption downturn in the future, affecting all walks of life. The final result will be the collapse of the dignity that women have worked hard to build, the regression of the social system, and women will be hurt."
Ma Wei looked into the eyes of the second prince and said: "Your Highness, without the support of education, women will never be able to stand up. Without learning knowledge, they will have no advantage in front of men, and their failure is inevitable."
"You mean... Freya's feminist movement will definitely fail?"
"If they stop in moderation, don't be too radical, and take their time, they will definitely succeed. Otherwise, they will definitely fail." Ma Wei said: "Power is something that can make people lose their minds. It depends on whether Freya can control it."
Those women who have been oppressed for too long and suddenly change..."
"I think Freya is fine." The second prince lit up a cigar: "There is no doubt about her strength. Anyone who can support the Chevalier family on her own is definitely not an ordinary woman."
"makes sense."
Ma Wei nodded. He was not worried about Freya's safety. He was a great demon of the Four Supreme Pillars, how could he be in danger?
What he was really worried about was the fourth prince Arthur.
Arthur is now the president of the Educators Association, overseeing the entire education industry in London. If women want to make a comeback, they must receive educational support, so here’s the problem...
If someone doesn’t want to see women rise and gain status and rights, who should he attack?
After listening to Ma Wei's words, the second prince smoked a cigarette. In the smoke, his eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Nicholas, you just said that women who have suddenly awakened will support everyone who supports them, right?"
"Yes, this is an objective law of development. Only by cultivating their own power can they win more rights and interests. The right to vote is the sharp sword in their hands."
"Does that mean that all products that obey women's thoughts will be sought after by women?" The second prince asked: "I mean, such as jewelry, clothes, cosmetics and the like... Gentlemen are always willing to do beauty.
Women pay the bill, don’t they?”
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?" Ma Wei turned his head and was keenly aware that there was something wrong in the second prince's words.
"This is a good opportunity to make money, Nicholas." The second prince said quietly: "I remember that the church has magic potion formulas with beauty and beauty effects. If we mass-produce it and sell it to women at a high price, wouldn't we make a lot of money?
Full?"
"Furthermore, Smith's jewelry store has been in poor business recently. If the jewelry is given a special meaning, such as marketing words such as a piece that lasts forever and a true heart that shines brightly, it will definitely sell out!"
The second prince laughed: "To put it bluntly, it is to flatter women and let men pay for their consumption. Compared with the men's market, which is stingy and considers cost-effectiveness, the women's market is much easier... Well, this method is good, Nicholas,
Just continue to support them and leave the rest to me."
It turns out you are this kind of person...
Looking at the second prince's leaving figure, the last trace of luck in Ma Wei's heart disappeared. For such a long time, the second prince created an illusion for him, an illusion that everyone seemed to be on the same journey.
But in fact, not only are we not on the same journey, but we are in opposite directions.
The second prince himself... is no different from those capitalists who knock their bones and suck their marrow, or in other words, he is the representative of the capitalists!
Everything he did was for profit! Including using Ma Wei!
Don't be fooled by his sweet words...
After thinking of this, Ma Wei immediately took Yunia to the Educators Association to look for Arthur.
"Father?"
Arthur, who had just signed the document, saw Ma Wei and Yunia emerging from the shadows. He was not too surprised: "Why are you here? Sit down."
"I'm here to remind you to pay attention to your safety."
"Be safe...me?" Arthur raised an eyebrow: "What danger am I in?"
"You are the president of the Educators Association and have a certain influence in the education industry. If nothing else, someone will come to you in the near future to discuss issues related to women's education."
"Female education..."
Arthur narrowed his eyes: "Father, do you think there are people who don't want to see women rise?"
"It seems that you have already thought of it. Yes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Women who cannot learn knowledge will never be able to compete with men. Education is the top priority."
"You are not the first to come to me."
Tapping his fingers on the table, Arthur said thoughtfully: "Just before you came, Duke Chevalier left just now."
"Freya?"
Mawei immediately thought of Freya’s purpose: “Is she here to ask about opening a girls’ school?”
"Well, she wants to hire children from noble families, open a girls' school, and teach women knowledge." Arthur said: "This is a very advanced idea. It should be said that Freya also thought about the issue of education. This is what she made.
coping methods.”
"It's very smart... opening a girls' school and letting women from aristocratic families be teachers. This avoids the problem of people with evil intentions, but the teaching staff is still insufficient and cannot compete with universities like Oxford and Cambridge..." Ma Wei
He thought: "There is no problem in the short term. It is a good plan. Do you agree?"
The Educators Association also has the responsibility of supervising schools. If Freya wants to open a girls' school, she must obtain permission from the association.
"Not yet, I told her to think about it." Arthur said: "Duke Chevalier was very anxious and wanted me to make a decision immediately. He even wanted to get the formalities today, but I didn't agree... I want to approve it.
Her?"
"Approval, of course it must be approved." Ma Wei smiled and said: "As long as your highness approves the establishment of a girls' school, you can divert the trouble to the east and shift your attention to Freya, and there will be no danger on your side."
"In that case, I will prepare the procedures for her..."
Boom!
There was a knock on the door, and Maverick picked up Yunia and escaped into the shadows. The door opened, and the female assistant came in and said to Arthur who was sitting on the sofa: "President, Mr. Mendy is here to visit."
"Mendy? Which Mendy?"
"Pierre Mendy."
Although his face was expressionless, Arthur was shocked. Piart Mendy was a member of the cabinet. How could he come to visit him for no reason?
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and Peart's sudden arrival may not be a good thing.
Glancing towards the corner where Ma Wei escaped, Arthur nodded and said, "Invite him in and pour a cup of tea."
"yes."
After a while, hearty laughter came from outside the door. A middle-aged man nearly two meters tall stooped and walked into the room. He was brightly dressed, took off his hat and said, "Your Highness, the fourth prince, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Yes, Mr. Mendy, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Arthur smiled and said, "Please sit down."
"Thank you."
Pierte Mendy sat opposite Arthur and waited for the assistant to bring hot tea and leave before he said: "Your Highness, the fourth prince, we are all busy with official duties, so I won't talk nonsense. I came today and I brought it
A message from His Excellency the Prime Minister."
A oral message is an order without evidence. Arthur knew it very well and asked calmly: "What instructions does your Excellency, Prime Minister, have?"
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister believes that the current education system should be stable. The disappearance of experts happened not long ago. All countries are watching us and it is not appropriate to make any big moves."
Piet Mendy laughed:
"Your Highness is a smart man, and the Prime Minister has praised you many times. He thinks that His Highness is a malleable talent. I hope that Your Highness can seriously consider the Prime Minister's statement..."
