Chapter 118 Work awakens, Qianlong is short of money again

PreviousBack to directoryNext
When everyone saw the model house, the people were very envious!

In this era, everyone’s houses were tile-roofed houses or earth-built houses.

This kind of house is made of mud and straw, has small windows and is not bright enough.

The walls are very thick, afraid of water, and not very warm.

All in all, there are many shortcomings.

Only qualified gentry can build houses with stones!

The cost of the houses in front of us is very low, and one can be built for just a few taels of silver.

This is totally a bonus!

Some people working in Long Kingdom reached out, hoping to get building materials to build new houses for their families.

"Don't worry, there's no rush. We in Long Country have a lot of construction materials. We can teach you how to build a house and provide you with professional design. You can also set up a construction team to help you build a house."

The people of Qing Dynasty shouted loudly!

Some more time passed.

Large-scale textile workshops have appeared in Guangzhou and Fuzhou.

The special commissioners wearing red armbands went to the countryside to collect cloth and baskets of various weaves, and then chatted with the local Qing people about their daily lives.

"Fellow fellow villagers, our textile work is too slow, and the men's work is not detailed enough. But women do it well, so we are thinking of recruiting some female workers."

"Don't worry, everyone, female workers are also paid, and their wages are similar to those of male workers."

An old woman asked the female workers what they were doing.

The special correspondent smiled gently and said: "Female workers sew clothes and produce some light industrial products. Women are ingenious and handy. You can let your own female dolls of the right age work. The wages are absolutely guaranteed to be paid on time!"

Some old stubborns and old scholars angrily said: "Girls can just give birth at home, we don't let them go out and show their faces."

Their words angered the Qing women.

But limited by years of tradition, these women dare not refute.

The special correspondent continued to say gently: "Fellow, your attitude is wrong. Girls can also make money to support their families!"

"And the textile work I mentioned is really not good for men. Only girls can do it well. If you are worried about girls being kidnapped, you can send someone you trust to supervise the work and take a look at our workshop.

It can be completely closed and no men can be allowed in!"

Later, the special correspondent spoke sincerely about the great role of women.

What kind of girl goes to work?

It can improve your life and make a lot of money.

Then, some people whose families lacked financial resources hesitated.

Money is a good thing, it can improve one's living conditions.

This will already be April of the 24th year of Qianlong's reign.

A year ago, they would have paid no attention to the Dragon Kingdom's special agents and would have directly dismissed them as liars.

But now everyone has established a trusting relationship, and the gentry and villagers of the Qing Dynasty have developed initial trust in these special commissioners!

Anyway, there are a lot of girls, so it is okay to let them work to supplement the family income.

It is not time-consuming to ask representatives to go to the factory to take a look at the environment.

Just take a look!

The special commissioner took a group of people's representatives to observe the newly built textile and garment factories.

"We take great care of our girls. The director of the factory is in charge of our girls. There are male soldiers protecting us outside. No announcements are allowed and no entry is allowed!"

"Also, girls do less work, and their salary is one tael of silver per month."

Then, the people's representatives who saw the factory were moved.

Some smart people thought of something: "You didn't expect to arrive early, did you?"

The special commissioners of the Dragon Kingdom provided many textile machines to the people of the Qing Dynasty.

These machines can produce large quantities of spinning yarn, and women's income at home has greatly increased.

Nowadays, large-scale equipment has appeared again, and some smart village bosses feel that this is a serial conspiracy.

"Fellow, how could we have thought? We just see that you earn too little money and live a good life too slowly! If you feel something is wrong, you can also ask a man to come over, but men are careless in their work and cannot do these careful things.

Live!"

"This...this is really true!"

The key is that there are not enough men.

The construction site and road repair work are really heavy.

They also have to farm and so on, and the men's physical strength is drained!

On the contrary, women are still working in the same old way.

They stay at home one by one and only need to weave some baskets, cook and take care of the children.

Although the income has increased, it is still very average.

If some half-grown girls are sent to work in these factories, the family's income will increase several times.

They may be able to build a new house in less than half a year!

Moreover, the women's factory is semi-enclosed. Men are not allowed to enter, but women can come and go freely.

This is safe for women.

"No matter what, we let our Yaomei come over to work, but we have to send someone to supervise them and we can't let them run away!"

"rest assured!"

Then, a large number of women from the Qing Dynasty joined the textile factories.

Guangzhou No. 1 Women's Textile Factory.

Jin Suo, who has been transformed very well, has started to lead hundreds of women to do ideological work.

Jinsuo is clever and quick to learn, and she is a woman who accepts transformation very quickly!

Although Jin Suo is Ziwei's maid.

In fact, when she was a child, her family was very good, and she could teach people to read and write on her own.

Unfortunately, her family fell into decline and she was sold into slavery.

After half a year of Wanwan training, she firmly believed that women are half the sky.

So, she was assigned to produce and teach.

Although it was his first time to rush to Guangzhou to serve as the director of the Women's Textile Factory, Jin Suo was eager for all this.

She hopes to save more people and make them like herself!

Become half the sky!

"Hello everyone, my name is Jinsuo. I will be your factory director from now on. You can earn money to support your family by working here."

"But, here we also need intellectuals, and I have an assessment system here!"

The women looked curiously at the factory director named Jin Suo.

"Everyone needs to read and be literate..."

"Ah? Director Jin, isn't this good for us!"

"Yes, it is virtue for a woman to have no talent."

"We don't study, we just want to work to earn money for dowry."

One after another, the women said words that were short-sighted or distorted by their clan members.

They only have that little salary in their eyes.

They don't think about anything else at all.

This is the characteristic of women in this era.

I, the Qing Dynasty, take pride in small feet and deprive women of their status.

The senior officials of the Qing Dynasty have always advocated the restriction of sexual thoughts and the restriction of women's status.

They really want to turn women into men's accessories.

Just like what the woman just said, "It is virtue for a woman not to have talent."

In the early Ming Dynasty, women were only required to be virtuous and not talented.

By the Qing Dynasty, tsk tsk~

Women, be my tools!

Just lie down and please me.

Stop studying. Once you study, you are talented but immoral.

I'm going to be dipped in a pig cage!

Jin Suo suddenly became angry.

"Is this all you are good at? Do you just want to make money?"

The women of the Qing Dynasty nodded.

"Yes, our father asked us to come here. We make money to spend at home!"

"We don't study, we just think about working."

Jinsuo shrugged his shoulders: "Then there's no other way. People who don't study can't work. If you want to make money, you have to study!"

The Qing woman hesitated.

On the one hand, there is money, and on the other hand, there is the possibility of being beaten when I get home.

They were a little unsure.

In order to restrict women's rights, the Qing Dynasty carried out various educational work.

For example, distorting Confucian culture.

For example, the little feet that are held tightly are turned into tied feet.

Abnormal aesthetics completely makes women get lost in the trap.

Some people say that productivity is not high enough to liberate women's labor force.

The reason why women’s status is not high is caused by agricultural society!

Yes, but not comprehensive.

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, women were not only able to depose the emperor, but were also able to lead armies in battle. It was not until the patriarchal inheritance of the Zhou Dynasty was confirmed that the status of women gradually declined.

But even so, women in the Qin, Han, Tang, and Song dynasties could preside over politics! Even in the Ming Dynasty, the queen had great power.

What really oppresses women's status is men's desire, not the lack of productivity in ancient times.

Look at that damn place in Western Europe.

Where was the real dark church in the Middle Ages, because at that time the church was abstinent and the status of women was suppressed to the lowest level.

But in the Roman period, women had inheritance rights, political rights and other rights.

Why is the status of women getting lower and lower?

All men hate thieves.

But any normal man in the world wants to be a thief!

The instinct of men to survive is to reproduce.

They desire more resources.

Women are naturally one of them.

The blame lies with those in power at the top.

Three wives and four concubines, three thousand beauties in the harem, all of them are women for the emperor to play with!

In order to please the emperor, the eunuchs recruited beautiful women from outside!

Beauty is called favor.

Haha~

The emperor acted like this, and he built a golden house to hide his beauty, and a spring courtyard with hooked railings. The entire feudal society was filled with smog and filth.

That majestic and majestic palace is just the root of prostitution.

This is caused by male physiological desires.

In fact, although the status of women in the Ming Dynasty was low, it was not deformed.

The real deformity is me, Daqing.

Zhu Xi's good thoughts were twisted into a powerful weapon that tightened the status and thoughts of women.

I don’t have anyone left in the Qing Dynasty.

The librarian once said: Women hold up half the sky!

According to the principle of "gathering and mobilizing all available forces", women's power must be utilized.

The correct answer is to use all your strength to crush everything of the old era and re-establish a new order.

Don't think women are timid, but for the sake of their children and the next generation, they are stronger than anyone else.

Sometimes it only takes a little guidance for women to turn them into the sharpest weapons!

Therefore, they need to help women who have been oppressed for countless years.

Give them a knife, give them the weapon and strength to pierce everything.

In this way, the first generation of female workers from Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong and Guangxi went through many hardships and were finally able to officially enter the factory and start working.

What the outside world doesn't know is that female workers also learn knowledge like men.



Governor's Mansion of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Li Shiyao and Gao Bin went crazy when they heard that the woman was working in the factory.

"What on earth are the people of the Dragon Kingdom trying to do? How dare they let women appear in public? This is violating our Qing ethics, and this is digging deeper!"

"Why do people from the Dragon Kingdom dare to do such a disobedient act?"

"Sir, do you want to take action?" a soldier asked.

Li Shiyao's face turned red from holding back: "Bear it! When my master comes, I will sweep away all the filth!"

"twitter!"

Li Shiyao asked people to leave, then smashed several cheap wooden tables and sat back in frustration.

Things were gradually getting out of his control.

He always felt like an invisible net was gradually tightening.

"Sir, a letter from the court."

Li Shiyao quickly took the letter and found that it was a letter from the cabinet.

It mentioned that Emperor Qianlong needed more taxes to subsidize arms production.

"The court is short of money again!"

For a long time, although the tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty was very high, its arms expenditure was not high.

Because it was necessary to equip the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian Eight Banners who had been trained with new weapons, a large amount of money and food was consumed.

Emperor Qianlong got angry many times in the past few days.

Li Shiyao knocked on the table, thinking that the taxes for the fifty years of Qianlong in Guangdong and Guangxi would be collected in a while.

Since I have been away from the capital for a long time, I must use local products and some political achievements that can make me happy to improve my status in the heart of the Holy Emperor.

Thinking of this, he immediately called for the Guangzhou magistrate and other subordinates...
