Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Xiao Yunyan is open to those who really want to go out and start a career. But she wanted to test her character.

Fortunately, the ideological quality of these apprentices trained by the workshop masters has been tested regardless of their age.

The poor could be raised in the fief, and money and energy could be spent on cultivating them. But we don’t support those evil people with extremely corrupt thoughts and moral qualities.

Everyone has their own shortcomings, and those that can be corrected through education are talents that can be cultivated.

But no matter what, we cannot educate those people who are bad at heart. The fiefdom definitely doesn't want people like that.

When sending talents overseas, character is even more important. Without a down-to-earth attitude and a loyal and honest heart, Xiao Yunyan would not dare to take them out.

After Xiao Yunyan went through some screening, she selected another five hundred people. These people are the masters of various deep processing in Lanyu Dynasty.

Although they don't have as much status as accountants and shopkeepers, they earn a lot of money. Sometimes they even earn more than the shopkeeper. These five hundred people are all highly skilled and capable people.

The recruitment scene was very lively, and it was going smoothly at first, when a group of women suddenly broke in. They clamored for the princess to take the decision.

Xiao Yunyan didn't know what happened, so she asked her men to go out and take a look. Not long after, his subordinates came back and told Xiao Yunyan that the women outside were shouting: "The princess has taken all their men out, and these women can only stay at home as widows. Therefore, these women who are protesting want the princess to take you too." Take them out."

Xiao Yunyan wanted to have a deeper understanding of the thoughts of these women. She was not opposed to women going out to find a job to support their families.

However, after all, Beichuan is still a feudal country. If women go out alone, the men in the family will never agree.

But if you go out as a couple, first of all, the cost of accommodation will increase. Originally, when these people went out, they lived in dormitories. Usually, four men lived in one room.

If you rent as a couple, you can only live two people.

Secondly, personnel management and arrangement are much more complicated. The management of a workshop with only men is relatively simple.

Men and women can work together. In Beichuan, a feudal country, men and women are still not allowed to work together. Not even in Xiao Yunyan's shop. Her restaurant can recruit female workers, but these female workers are in the back kitchen washing vegetables, picking vegetables and cutting ingredients, and will not go to the front.

Finally, if the couple goes out together, what will happen to the elderly and children at home?

It's okay when the kids are older. Because Beichuan is a country that believes that pregnancy will lead to birth. There are many children in the family. Some are babies just one or two years old. If the mothers leave, raising and educating the children will really become a problem.

Xiao Yunyan planned to go out and have a good chat with these women.

When the leading women saw Xiao Yunyan coming out, they immediately smiled and knelt down to salute Xiao Yunyan. The other women also shouted and wanted to kneel down.

Xiao Yunyan asked them to avoid saluting, but these women only gave a squatting salute.

Xiao Yunyan saw these people eager to give it a try and tell her their thoughts. But there are three women in one drama. There were dozens of women surrounding her, and she couldn't hear what they were saying. So I want these women to elect one or two representatives.

Xiao Yunyan said with a smile: "Sisters-in-law, you can express your thoughts, but it is best to send one or two representatives to gather your thoughts together, and then we can discuss it."

The person who was elected was a young daughter-in-law who usually had great appeal among women.

When Xiao Yunyan saw this daughter-in-law, she was the kind of woman who was resolute and straightforward in doing things. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this person does seem to have some ability. Xiao Yunyan asked her to express her thoughts.

This dark little daughter-in-law is very pretty and speaks very fast. She said: "Princess, although we women usually need to take care of children and the elderly at home. However, if all the men go out, we will have a lot of inconvenience at home.

When the man is not at home, there is no backbone, and it is not convenient for us to go in and out to do errands. Instead of being at home, it would be better to go out with a man. If two people work together, they can earn more money. Compared with us women staying at home, it is more convenient for the elderly to take care of their children.

Xiao Yunyan was surprised when she heard this statement. Why is it more convenient for the children's parents to be away from home, so it is more convenient for the elderly to take care of the children? She asked the little daughter-in-law to explain.

The young daughter-in-law is very articulate. She explained: "When a woman is alone at home, she will always attract attention from other people when she goes out. If there is any gossip, we will not be able to live our lives."

The old man will always stare at us with his eyes.

On weekdays, our status in the family is not high. When men are not at home, we have to be men and women at the same time, juggling our affairs. They are also constantly monitored by the elderly and neighbors.

Moreover, although there are many children, it is not that difficult to take care of the older ones with the younger ones and the elderly helping to take care of them. "

Xiao Yunyan nodded. From the perspective of this little daughter-in-law, it was the same thing. Feudal countries like Bi Beichuan were completely different from the open world of later generations. It’s really hard for women to do something.

However, the problems Xiao Yunyan considered also existed in reality. She expressed her concerns to this little daughter-in-law and the women who listened to Xiao Yuntian's explanation behind.

"After all, when a woman goes out to work, she cannot be with her man all the time. Nor can there be all women in a workshop. If gossip breaks out, it is also difficult to explain.

The most important thing is that accommodation is difficult to arrange. If women live in a dormitory, it would be better for men to live in a dormitory. If traveling as a couple, each couple will get one room. There is no way to arrange so many rooms.

When working, in order to prevent gossip, there can only be one workroom for men and one for women. The two processes are completely separated from each other.

That is to say, we don't work together at ordinary times, and we don't sleep together at night. We can only see each other when we are off work. If we arrange it this way, do you agree? ;"

The women fell silent. They discussed it with each other. I think what the princess said is a very real issue.

If men and women mix, the chances of something happening are higher. They compromised and planned to follow the princess's arrangements.

As long as I can see my man after work every day, that's fine. As long as the couple can go out together and earn double wages. They are very willing.

The women were very happy, thinking that since this problem was solved, nothing else was a problem.

However, Xiao Yunyan is not as optimistic as them. Another thing to consider is that if women leave the fiefdom in large numbers, leaving only children and the elderly, there will be problems with safety and production. The land that was originally cleared by each family was only given to the elderly. How could the children finish planting it?

This issue needs to be considered. You cannot put the cart before the horse. Although making money is important, food and land are equally important. After all, this is an agricultural society, not an industrial society. Food and land are still the foundation for survival.

After Xiao Yunyan raised this question, the women fell silent again. They want to discuss with each other and find a solution.

In fact, even if they don't leave those lands, it will be very difficult to cultivate them if there are no men at home.

After all, the work done by the men and women working outside cannot be just thrown away and come back to plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn.

Xiao Yunyan saw that although women encountered various problems, they still did not want to give up the opportunity to go out. Decided to help them solve this problem.

The fief is garrisoned with a large number of troops. It is now a time of peace. Although the army still needs to train every day to ensure that the army's combat effectiveness is strong and ready to fight at all times. After all, he is not a warrior, so he still has a lot of free time.

Xiao Yunyan plans to use this free time. Half of the army was stationed and the other half was out farming, alternating turns. The soldiers helped the people farm. High efficiency, more new farming equipment can be used. OK again. Give these soldiers an extra income.

Even if the military helps farmers farm, it cannot be free. Who is willing to let soldiers help with farming? Each acre of land will be paid 500 cash for spring plowing and 500 cash for autumn harvest. This income is regarded as the reward for the soldiers' labor.

Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture in the fiefdom once calculated that the net profit for cultivating grain in the fiefdom can be around 2.5 to 30 taels per acre, which is 30% higher than outside.

The quality of the grain in the farmland was good, and Xiao Yunyan ordered his subordinates to purchase a large amount and sell it to other continents.

Although there are affordable granaries everywhere, the price is several times higher than that of the place of origin. Excluding transportation, warehousing, store, and labor costs, the profit is more than double the acquisition cost.

Therefore, Xiao Yunyan ordered her subordinates to purchase food from the people in the fiefdom at a price that was 30% higher than that from the outside world.

The women knew how to settle accounts, and everyone agreed that the wages paid to the soldiers were not high. Of course women think it is still a good deal.

Because they go out to work, the wages paid by the princess are very high. Men have at least three taels of silver a month. Including year-end bonuses, men who go out to work every year can earn at least more than 100 taels of silver, and even as many as several thousand taels.

As women, they are not to be outdone. You can earn at least sixty or seventy taels a year. Therefore, they are willing to pay the wages of those who cultivate and harvest. This problem is solved.

Finally, there is the issue of children’s education.

If it is just the older children taking care of the younger children, the elderly help with trivial matters such as meals and laundry. That was not the result Xiao Yunyan wanted.

She did not allow the children in her fief to neglect their studies. When parents are not around, there is a greater need for professional educators to help educate and manage these children.

Xiao Yunyan will also help them solve this problem. A large number of talented people were recruited from other places in Beichuan to join the fiefdom and teach in academies. These children will be concentrated in different regions for education.

Also not free. Parents need to contribute one tael of silver every month, and the government will pay for the remaining expenses.

The children have food and accommodation in the school, clothing for all seasons, and the four treasures of the study without any money from their parents.

As long as they are subordinates of Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan, their children are eligible to enter such schools and academies.

Only when they are resting, can the children return home and let the elderly enjoy family happiness. The children also got close to their grandparents and felt the family atmosphere.

Otherwise, the young couples will leave, the children will go to school, and the old people will be very lonely at home alone.

Xiao Yunyan decided to go back to school every ten days, with eight days of school and two days of rest. If there are only nine days in the second half of the year, go to school for seven days and have two days off.

This arrangement makes the women very happy. The children have a place to study and study, and their lives are taken care of. They felt more at ease.

No one doubted that the prince and princess's school might be a little bit bad for the children.

They even felt that Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan, the prince couple, were more responsible towards the children in the fief than their parents were towards them. Even if their parents are at home, the children have never enjoyed such good treatment.

Now that the worries can be solved, what remains is the skills training of these women.

Originally, it was only a skill training for the children in the fiefdom. Both boys and girls can get a good education. If men are willing to learn skills, they can learn them for free. Only married women have not received education and training in this area.

When women go out on business, they must first consider where their men work. What types of work are suitable for women in the workshops there? Then provide corresponding skills and knowledge training.

Because they are a group of women, they can find older male masters to teach them skills without having to worry about reputation issues.

Xiao Yunyan considered the issue of human nature and said: "If the couple does not want to live in separate dormitories, they can pay half of the money to rent the couple's dormitory, and the other half of the cost will be paid by the workshop.

Such an arrangement is certainly more popular among women. Young couple, who wants to live apart? It doesn't matter if you spend a little more money.

It's much better than having them take care of the elders at home and then take care of the younger ones. They have to take care of everything inside and outside the home, and they have to be monitored by all aspects. It's much better.
