The eldest prince just left here, and Xiao Wu came.
Seeing a bowl on the table, he asked, "Who is left to eat?"
"Big Brother." What's wrong?
Xiaowu handed the bowl to Qingya: "Give me a bowl of soup, too. I don't need breakfast." Qingya went down with a smile, and Fourth Master had to leave after eating.
Xiaowu said anxiously: "Brother Four Emperors, stay here, something happens!"
The fourth master laughed and said, "I see! The first person to run into trouble was your Kunbu. Many of the imperial wives would rather not be on the job than have their family fields listed as public fields?"
right!
The Fourth Master pointed at Tongtong: "You guys discuss it first, and we won't discuss it until we can't solve it."
And then he really left.
Xiao Wu hugged the soup bowl and sighed: "I have to say that nowadays, these women are indeed a minority with far-sightedness. Not only are they not assistants, they have become the biggest resistance." As he said this, his eyes became clouded.
, "Some of them would rather divorce, as long as the husband transfers the land deed to her name, what?
They bear the consequences. There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. There are women who take the lead, and there are the elderly and children who take the lead. No matter how strict the laws of the court are, can they still attack the elderly, children and women? If this is really the case, then this
It should be considered unkind, unjust and unmerciful... Where can we get the human heart?" So, is this reform really feasible?
When I heard it, everything seemed reasonable and reasonable, but everyone has their own considerations and plans. Everyone can take advantage but cannot suffer losses. No one will say anything when taking advantage, but once you think you may suffer losses, how can you agree to it?
Xiao Wu blew the soup: "Everyone came to ask for leave early this morning. They only said they were sick." But what? "Can I still ask the imperial doctor to visit each family one by one? You are the concubine, what do you think about this matter?
manage?"
Tongtong ate deliciously every bite: "It's normal not to agree." She said to Xiao Wu, "If you have power, you should use it. If you have trouble, come to me, if you don't have trouble, kick me. You are not kind."
"
Who kicked you? Xiaowu said, "This is not related to the New Deal. I haven't come to the East Palace yet."
Tongtong felt that Xiaowu still didn't grasp the true meaning of power. She asked, "Are there no one else you can use except them?"
What?
"Apart from them, do you have no one to use?"
What do you mean?
What do you mean by asking? Tongtong stuffed the rice into his mouth: "Hurry up and eat. After eating, I will go on errands with you."
Xiao Wu soaked the pancakes in the soup and ate them directly.
After eating, the two of them left the palace and went to Kunbu Yamen first.
As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw a woman in plain clothes, it was Du Shiniang.
"I've met the concubine!"
Tongtong helped her up, "Is she okay?"
Everything is fine! Du Shiniang invited Tongtong to take a seat and immediately came out with tea.
Xiao Jiuniang came shortly after, holding a roster in her hand. After seeing the ceremony, she handed the roster to Tongtong: "This is the person who asked for leave and didn't come."
Tongtong said to her: "Here comes the pen."
Du Shiniang came over with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Tongtong wrote one word directly on the roster in front of everyone - deposed!
Xiao Wu stood up suddenly: "Lin Chuheng! Do you know who is in this list?"
Tongtong looked at her: "This is Kunbu, the yamen of the imperial court. How many personal relationships are there in the yamen?"
This is not a question of favoritism or not, but: "Who will do the errands? Kunbu will be shut down immediately!"
Why is there a shutdown?
Tongtong said: "Ask someone to prepare a car, the more ordinary the better."
What to do?
"Listen to me!" Tongtong put down his pen and handed the list to Xiao Jiuniang: "Put it on file, these people will never be hired."
Yes! Xiao Jiuniang carried it down.
As Tongtong left, he said to Du Shiniang and Xiao Jiuniang, "Let's go! Put on your big cloak and come with us for a walk." So, several people crowded into a carriage.
She was silent and no one else spoke to her.
Tongtong talked about the car curtain and kept looking out. Then she said to the coachman: "Stop turning on the main road and go and look in the alleys."
The conditions of small alleys vary. Some places are easy to walk on, while others are not.
"Then just ask where the alleys are that are better than people."
yes!
The carriage turned around and entered the alley.
The ground looks dirty, but in fact the snow has frozen into ice after being splashed with water. Some people have spread cinders and other things on the road. Although it looks dirty, pedestrians come in and out without fear of falling.
ah!
It's a cold day. Does anyone have enough clothes to change if they are dirty?
Tongtong shouted to stop and got off the carriage first.
As I was walking, I heard a young man behind me shouting: "Give me! Give me."
The young man was carrying a large bundle of firewood, which was so heavy that he could not even lift his head. The weight of the firewood was several times that of the young man. It was like he was carrying a mountain of firewood.
The carriage blocked the road. Tongtong waved her hand and told the carriage to keep moving forward. She could just follow on foot.
The carriage kept moving forward, and the young man kept walking behind the carriage. After walking for more than a hundred cloths, there was a Butou Alley when he turned in. The young man stopped following the carriage and turned into the Butou Alley.
Tongtong stood at the entrance of the alley and saw a lot of firewood piled in the innermost part of the alley. The young man piled the firewood on the firewood pile, then arranged it, then knelt down and kowtowed to a house in the innermost house, and then stood up.
Walked back again.
When he saw Tongtong, he quickly lowered his head and walked out along the edge of the road.
"Wait." Tongtong stopped him.
The young man knelt down with a thud, "Young man, I know I was wrong."
It's about urging someone to give way.
"You are not wrong." Tongtong called him: "Please get up, I want to ask you something."
The young man stood up and did not dare to come near. He only said: "You ask."
Tongtong pointed to the pile of firewood: "May I ask, whose family has so much firewood? Aren't they afraid of catching fire if they are piled here?"
The young man said hurriedly: "No! Someone is watching. That's the firewood pile from Aunt Zhang's family...it's not from Aunt Zhang's family...that's what happened..."
Aunt Zhang had a son who was a seventh-rank official in the Yamen, so she also had the title of imperial edict. So she took on the errands in the alley. As soon as it got cold, Aunt Zhang discovered that many people from outside came to the capital.
As a businessman, I can’t afford to live in a hotel.
I had nowhere to stay. I usually stayed in a temple or a Taoist temple. But not everyone could stay in a temple or a Taoist temple. So I dug a hole in the alley to cover the ground.
Not to mention keeping out the wind and rain, you can still light a fire inside.
As time went by, the news spread from person to person, from person to person. Many people came to the city to do business or buy and sell goods, were delayed, or couldn't leave due to some accident, so they wanted to save some money.
I spent all my money there to stay or to escape the cold, snow, and wind.
Then everyone spontaneously asked anyone who came to the city again to bring some firewood to make up for Aunt Zhang.
You replenish it, and he also replenishes it. The more you replenish it, the more firewood you replenish.
That’s what it is now.
Tongtong gave him a silver coin: "Thank you, I understand, please do your work."
After saying that, she went to the carriage on the side and got directly on it. Then she asked Xiaowu: "Aunt Zhang, is this available?"
Xiao Wu looked at the road surface that was not clean but not slippery. He looked at the piles of firewood that were piled up neatly but had been consciously collected. He then thought about the young man kowtowing devoutly at the door, and then glanced at Xiao Jiuniang:
"Write it down."
The carriage continued to move forward leisurely, passing through small alleys.
After walking through several alleys, I suddenly saw a series of women hiding their hands in their sleeves and coming out of one door one after another, carrying something in their armpits.
This time Xiaowu followed Tongtong down and headed towards this house.
What are so many women doing together?
As soon as they arrived at the door, a woman came out to greet her, "Whose little daughter-in-law is this? She's so handsome?"
Tongtong smiled and said: "I hear it's lively, come and take a look."
"Didn't you hear that there are relatives coming to your house nearby?"
Tongtong pointed outward, "It's from Aunt Zhang's family over there..."
Oh oh oh! Then I understand, "Come on, come on! Come in and talk. It doesn't seem like the two ladies are looking for work, but what's the problem?"
As soon as Tongtong entered, he was attracted by the things on the kang, "Are these shoes?"
Yes! I'm making shoes. I picked up the errand from the shoe shop. "We make it ourselves. Others may not use it. Everyone has their own habits and styles. Then put a piece together. Those who know how to cut can cut and those who know how to embroider."
When making shoe uppers, only the soles are used if they are strong enough to hold the soles. We all agree on the size of the shoes and the number of stitches! Take a look at the finished shoes...whether they look the same."
Xiao Wu reached out and took it, and it was really like this, "Can you make shoes... and sell them to shoe shops?"
"In this big family, the servants also pay attention to the neatness of their clothes. The ones we make are exactly the same, and some people like to ask for them. Maybe three or five pairs, or dozens of pairs. This winter is not over yet, we are selling
I have bought thousands of pairs of shoes. The women are at home
, find a job to make a living. Earn a few coins a day, and everyone’s life will be easier. If people are reluctant to use charcoal fire, they can all come over and work together. It will be very warm and will not freeze your hands. This is fast
It’s noon and everyone has gone home to cook.”
I see.
Xiaowu asked: "What's your surname, aunt?"
"The surname is Fan! The man is the treasurer of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he has an official status after all."
Aunt Fan? Okay! I remember you.
This lady was very enthusiastic: "If you want to do some work, just come here. I can't do embroidery, but I can learn to do it."
OK! The need is here.
Xiaowu followed Tongtong out of it and walked slowly outside.
Tongtong then said: "Conflicts of interest cannot be reconciled. So what's the point of reconciliation? This is nothing more than... they are no longer available. Since they are not available, then find someone who is available! They have property and they need to protect it.
If you have property, then look for someone who has no property to protect, is eager to get ahead, and wants to help your husband.
Woman, look down, there are so many of them!" She put her index fingers together in a 'mountain top' position, "After all, there are only a few at the top, and there are more people at the bottom.
The lower you go, the more such people there are. You have to know that the ladies in Kunbu now,
It's not because of their outstanding abilities that they hold high positions in Kunbu, they are just because of their husbands. So isn't this an opportunity? Just choose capable people to fill the positions. The newly selected people are not born stupider than others, but
Others have little knowledge, but it is because everyone has their own destiny. Having little knowledge means that
It is a shortcoming. But being obedient, following orders, and having good execution ability are also advantages. They have little knowledge, so they have to work hard to improve. But if you look for people who are originally arrogant and want to make them obey orders, you have to work hard and spend time.
, and it may not be possible. Then you can do the math, which one is more cost-effective?"
Xiao Wu looked at her in surprise: So that's what you think?
What else?
People who are not as good as them stand in a high position based on their ability. Do you think it is you who are anxious, or they are anxious?!
