Datang: Get a god-level selection system at the beginning

The recruited female workers officially began to work after a seven-day training, and Cui Yan divided them into two shifts according to Li Wenbin's instructions.

Generally speaking, this kind of meticulous operation is hardly performed at night when the light is poor-the little cloth woven in one night is not enough for the oil lamp to consume.

But in Qinghe County No. [-] Branch of the Royal Textile Factory, dozens of tallow candles illuminated the workshop as if it were daytime.

After the glazed mirrors all around refracted these rays of light, they were so finely detailed that there was no blind spot at all.

In this way, night work becomes a reality.

Li Wenbin smiled as he watched a hundred female workers operate a new type of loom in pairs, and the spun yarn flew out like snowflakes.

He beckoned to the factory steward—this was also an old maid sent from the Palace Textile Bureau at the request of Li Wenbin. She was skilled and good at management.

"Mother Zhang, I will trouble you here from now on."

"You don't dare to give such an order to your Highness." Zhang Momo's face was full of smiles, "Your Majesty and Your Highness, you hand over such an important workshop to this old servant, and this servant will take good care of it even if it is smashed to pieces!"

"Mother Zhang, please help me to put it this way. You also know that the king will still return to the capital in the future, so naturally you can't stay here for long. If you have anything to do in the future, please read more, listen more, and ask more questions, Mother Zhang."

"My king is here to make the decision. You get [-]% of the profit of the first branch every year."

"Oh, this, this, this, what should the servants say?"

Nanny Zhang knelt on the ground, weeping and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this old servant will take good care of this workshop, and won't let the empress and the prince worry about you."

"In that case, I would like to thank the king!"

Seeing Nanny Zhang twisting her waist and gradually walking away, Cui Yan frowned and asked, "My lord, you won't really give Nanny Zhang [-]% of the profit in return?"

"Of course this is true, why do you think that this king is lying, Ah Jiu?"

"Because, because..." Cui Yan hesitated, "Because she is a palace slave, how can she be treated like this?"

"You, you still haven't broken away from the old thinking." Li Wenbin smiled, "I know she is a palace slave, but she can perform well in this position, and that's enough."

"To describe it in one sentence, it's eclectic. I only consider the suitability of a person, not his background. And haven't you always opposed this?"

"I used to be, that was..."

"Don't be embarrassed, I don't think you did anything wrong. There's nothing wrong with you thinking that way, it's just that you don't think comprehensively enough."

"Not enough...comprehensive?"

"That's right, it's a long story to say. I'll talk to you slowly when I go back."

He brought Cui Yan back to his residence—in fact, it was the original Qinghe county government. The original ideal residence should be Cui's family, but it has been destroyed by Wang Junkuo.

"Ah Jiu, I'm telling you, if a woman wants to be independent, the least she can achieve is financial independence!"

"Economic independence?"

"That's right, if a woman can't even eat, how can she be self-reliant?"

"My lord is right."

"In ancient times, it wasn't men who dominated at first, but women who had the final say."

"Anything like that?"

"That's right, it was called a matriarchal society at that time, and the status between men and women is completely different from what it is now."

"Then when did it become a man calling the shots?"

"It is only after men have mastered most of the production skills and production materials that they gradually become like this."

"Because women are incapable of doing dangerous things such as hunting and heavy labor such as farming, and can only rely on men."

"So it gradually becomes a society where men are in charge, and women can only support their husbands and children at home."

"My lord, you still have a long-term view. Thinking about the issues I thought about before, I'm still too naive."

"It can't be said that you are naive, but because your eyesight is limited, and it is located in this era, which prevents you from seeing more long-term things."

"The current situation will cause a lot of trouble. The most important thing is that women, who account for almost half of the population of Tang Dynasty, can only stay at home. So what this king has to do is to liberate the labor force and let more women come out Work and gradually improve their social status!"

"My lord, but if you really want to do this, the resistance you will encounter will not be small."

After hearing Li Wenbin's words, Cui Yan was obviously moved, but she still had great concerns.

"So, I'll kill the Qinghe Cui family first. It's better to paint on a piece of white paper than to daub and modify the already formed paintings."

Cui Yan blinked her beautiful eyes, her chest and abdomen rose and fell rapidly, and it took a long time before she knelt down on the ground: "My lord, although I don't know what kind of deep meaning you have in doing this, I am willing to follow you , to complete this great cause with you!"

Li Wenbin stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and said softly, "Unexpectedly, this king robbed a like-minded comrade in a random robbery."

"Comrade?"

It was the first time Cui Yan had heard of this word.

"It is like-minded, so we are called comrades."

"It's a weird name, but the prince can always come up with such words."

……

Time passed day by day, and soon it was time for the potatoes to ripen for the first time.

On this day, Li Wenbin specially put on his court uniform, and brought the newly established officials of Qinghe County to the fields.

This is the first small-scale trial planting of potatoes, a high-yielding crop, in Datang, and the day of harvest is naturally the most important.

Not only were Li Wenbin and other officials dressed very formally, but incense cases were even placed on the ground.

There are two-foot-long incense candles on the incense table, and the table is filled with tributes such as pigs, cattle and sheep.

Qin Tianjian, who came specially from Chang'an, saw that the auspicious time had arrived, so he shouted loudly: "The auspicious time has come, please His Royal Highness King Qin offer incense."

Li Wenbin lit a joss stick, inserted it into the incense burner, and then read the sacrificial oration—this was for Shennong, thanking the ancestors for blessing the Tang Dynasty with good weather.

Then, came the most exciting part of harvesting.

The first hoe was naturally to be dug by Li Wenbin, the chief executive. When he dug out a potato stem and leaf with a hoe, and then pulled out the root with all his strength, almost everyone went crazy.

Not only those officials, but even the people who are still half-believing have gone crazy...
