A Timely Wife

Chengdong grasped the arsenal with one hand and the production factory with the other. He ran at both ends of the day, and finally got some equipment out. After the sewing machines and textile machines were transported to the quilt factory, the production speed of the quilt factory was much faster. It was also quickly produced and distributed to each company.

After Mr. Ping came, Chengdong temporarily handed over the arsenal to Mr. Ping, and he started to run around with people again. Not to mention, he really let him find something that can replace rubber, which is also a kind of gum, but this kind Gum is better than rubber, easier to gather, easier to shape, very elastic and can make solid tires.

This kind of tree is named rubber tree, and it is promoted and planted in the planting area. Another 20 people are arranged to be responsible for tapping and transportation. The manufacture of bicycles and tricycles is relatively simple. Although the chain is difficult to get, the principle is very simple. It's just troublesome and time-consuming, but it's not impossible.

However, in just over a month, Cheng Dong led people to manufacture ten bicycles and ten tricycles. With bicycles and tricycles, more than half of the previous ox carts were eliminated. Everyone's curiosity about novelty things always It is very strong. Because tricycles are more stable than bicycles, you can ride them when you sit on them, and you can carry people or things behind them, so they are more popular. Only Chengdong can ride bicycles, and the speed is naturally faster than tricycles. There are a lot of tricycles, but not just anyone can enjoy a bicycle. For this reason, many people still hope to increase the number of tricycles.

It was Li Ruosong who overcame all opinions and decided to increase the production of bicycles. This was because Chengdong told Li Ruosong a lot of stories about the armed forces behind the enemy after the bicycles were produced. In Chengdong's memory, the armed forces behind the enemy He was wearing a white jacket, black pants, black cloth shoes, and a [-] cap slung across his shoulders, riding a bicycle and galloping along various country lanes, taking shots at the devils behind him from time to time, as handsome as he wanted.

However, when Chengdong was wearing a white jacket, black trousers, black cloth shoes, riding a bicycle with a blunderbuss slung across his shoulders, although no one laughed at him face to face, Li Ruosong laughed at him behind his back for two whole months, sometimes It was so inexplicable that Chengdong didn't even know what kind of illness Li Ruosong was suffering from. In fact, Li Ruosong couldn't be blamed. It was because Chengdong's appearance was so beautiful that people couldn't look directly at it.

After the bicycle and tricycle were tossed out, Chengdong wanted to get the car out more and more, but there were several technical difficulties that he couldn't overcome, especially the engine. Chengdong put a lot of effort into it, but it couldn't be done. , Chengdong turned to study the steam engine. There was no way, Chengdong wanted to jump over the steam engine and jump directly to the engine.

But only relying on mortars, grenades, and bicycles, the soldiers were already ready to supply Chengdong. Chengdong's prestige in the garrison once surpassed that of Li Ruosong. The performance is very strong. It is estimated that the soldiers in the garrison can abolish Li Ruosong and push Chengdong to the position of the boss. The army has always been a place to worship the strong.

Eating meals cooked by Mr. Li's grandmother, wearing clothes made by Mr. Li's mother, and using all kinds of weapons developed by Mr. Li's husband, the resident men never dared to underestimate their own wives and husbands. , no one is idle at home now, the parents are all at work, the daughter-in-law or husband is also at work, and the children are at school. In the past, we only relied on them to work in the fields to support the family. Now you can live without them. For the resident men, the woman and Shuang'er are no longer a drag and burden, but have become people who can support the family just like them. This feeling is very novel, and it also makes them happy. I don't know how important a harvest is to people like them who have endured hardship.

This kind of result is also what Chengdong wants to achieve. The economic base determines the superstructure. In the past, women in Dachu and their married sons were dependent on men for survival, so you can only do what men say. If you come by yourself Sometimes there is a generous dowry, and a boy can be born, and some people say, but if there is no boy, no matter how rich the dowry is, it cannot withstand the pressure from the in-laws. Shuang'er can't be changed, but changing the status of the woman and Shuang'er is imminent.

According to the news brought back by Feng Bao, there has been a trend of women's footbinding in many prefectures south of the Chujiang River in Dachu, and the daughters of official families are especially keen on footbinding. A woman with bound feet is a saying that no one wants.

Chengdong is well aware of the harm caused by bound feet. It hurts people on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is easy to induce extravagance. What's more, Da Chu is not peaceful now, and there are so many women with bound feet. When they come out, they can’t even stand up, let alone escape. Once a large-scale war breaks out, these women have only two choices, either die or be taken away, no matter which one Cheng Dong doesn’t want to see, Moreover, Chengdong understands that women's foot binding can only please men and satisfy men's unspeakable hobbies. In the era when men are in power, once the trend of foot binding becomes popular, it is absolutely difficult to abolish it. In the era where Dong lived, the last imperial court abolished foot binding from top to bottom, which led to the boycott of the whole people. Even women of their own ethnicity began to bind their feet. A lot of persuasion work, and the release of the foot film, I am afraid that there is still no way to abolish foot binding.

If you want to change the status of women, the first step is to let men know that women are not only dependent on men, they can still bear the burden of a family, and it is even possible for men to depend on women. Of course, Chengdong is not the kind of person who insists on forcing all women to be independent and self-reliant. In Chengdong's view, people are born free and everyone can make their own choices. Some women like to do housework at home and take care of their children. I don’t want to work outside, and Cheng Dong doesn’t force it. Anyway, it’s like this in the resident. If you work, you get paid. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid. Don’t worry about food and lodging in the resident, but you have to buy it when you eat in the cafeteria. Yes, you have to pay for clothes other than work clothes. Chengdong believes that in the future, there will be more and more novelty things, and more and more places will be spent. Save less, otherwise no one can spend money while lying at home, at least, no one in the resident can stay at home without working.

This is also due to the previous experience of these people. After decades of invasion by pirates, many towns and villages around Ninghaiwei have different ideas from those in the inland. For women who have lost their innocence and widows , the attitude he holds is not disgust or rejection, but sympathy and encouragement, so Li Ruosong's decree to encourage remarriage can be implemented very soon. To marry a daughter is to be innocent. From their point of view, it is not easy to be able to live. If someone is willing to marry you, it is already very good to go back to the house and have a drink of hot water. Pick and choose, That also depends on whether there is life.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong always like people who discuss everything. Even though there are already more than 7000 people in the resident, Li Ruosong and Chengdong will also seek the opinions of these people in the resident for many government orders that involve the interests of the public. Let the picket team go door-to-door to preach, and then collect and summarize all the opinions and suggestions, and then make revisions based on these. After the final draft, it will be posted in military areas, residential areas, and factory areas, and management will be required. The personnel will preach to the people below, and it is necessary to ensure that everyone knows these decrees.

All of this was seen by Li Ruoshan and remembered in his heart. It had a huge impact on Li Ruoshan's future governance. Responsible for government affairs, Prime Minister is in charge of affairs, and the general power is completely independent from the political power. Military power is always firmly in the hands of the emperor. If the cabinet decides to launch a foreign war or mobilize the army, no one dares to send troops without the seal of the emperor. But in the same way, if the emperor wants to launch a war, he must have a war order issued by the prime minister. If the emperor insists on going his own way and insists on sending troops, the prime minister can issue a decree to impeach the emperor. This can be regarded as mutual supervision and mutual restraint.

However, the future emperor Li Ruoshan is following Li Ruosong cautiously at the moment. The two of them came out with a special company. Anyway, their faces were covered with camouflage paint. As long as Li Hu doesn't call names one by one, no one will be able to detect that it is him. As for the people who were replaced by the two of them, they were sitting in the meeting hall with a look of regret at the moment. It wasn't that they didn't want to move, but that they couldn't move because they were tied up.

Battalion Commander Zhou didn't know anything about Li Ruosong running out with Li Ruoshan secretly. At this moment, Camp Commander Zhou was standing on the city wall to confront the bandit leader. Seeing Battalion Commander Zhou standing on the city wall without even wearing armor, the bandit leader laughed and said, "Come here, bring my bow and arrow, today I will open your eyes and let you Seeing and seeing what it means to hit a hundred shots and hit a target, what is a hundred steps to wear Yang, that man, have you seen him, wearing a black dress, take a second look at him while he is still alive, and you won’t be able to see him alive even if you want to see him later.”

The bandit leader’s voice was very loud, and Battalion Commander Zhou was not deaf, so of course he heard it, he stretched out his hand, and the person next to him handed him a blunderbuss, and Zhou Yingchang said to the bandit leader, “I don’t know if it’s your arrow that’s fast, or it’s me. The gun is fast, and today we can see the truth."
