At this time, seeing Zhang Yanjin and his group approaching, he went to the door and waited, but when he saw Liu Taohua, Liu Yueer and others behind Zhang Yanjin, his expression changed slightly.

"What happened in the tea factory today?" Zhang Yanjin asked Liu Taohua and the others to wait outside, and entered the room with Chen Su and Zhang Wuer.

Zhang Wu'er scratched his scalp, and said a little twitchingly: "What else can happen? Isn't it just the workers working in the tea factory?"

Seeing Zhang Wuer's eyes fluttering, Zhang Yanjin's pent-up anger surged up. He looked at Zhang Wuer coldly and said, "Tell me what happened in the tea factory when I was away today. ?”

Zhang Wuer licked the corners of his lips uncomfortably and said, "Erlang, there's nothing wrong with it, but when Liu Taohua and the others came out to collect their wages, other workers said something..."

"What did you say?" Zhang Yanjin's conjecture was confirmed, and his brows were frowned.It took a lot of effort to recruit four female workers, and this is great. She was about to leave crying just one day after arriving. How can he implement his plans in the future?

"It means that their women should stay at home and not come out to show their faces." Zhang Wuer was vague.

As soon as Zhang Yanjin heard it, he felt something was wrong. He stared at Zhang Wuer with burning eyes and said, "Then what were you doing at that time?"

Zhang Wuer didn't expect Zhang Yanjin to be so direct, he was a little at a loss and said, "How can I stop the workers from talking?"

"Can't you stop people from talking, and let those workers bully Liu Taohua and Liu Yue'er casually? Zhang Wuer, you are really good!" Zhang Yanjin knocked on the case heavily.

Zhang Wuer was startled, he had never heard Zhang Yanjin speak to him in such a strong tone, he glanced at Chen Su as if asking for help, and then said to Zhang Yanjin: "Erlang, I didn't mean it, I just think It's really inappropriate for them to come out to work, so, so..."

"So you just watched those workers bully the four female workers and turned a blind eye? You even booed along with them?"

Although Zhang Wuer didn't tell Zhang Yanjin what happened at that time, Zhang Yanjin almost guessed it.

Zhang Wuer lowered his head in embarrassment. He didn't expect that Zhang Yanjin would meet Liu Yueer and Liu Taohua on the road. He thought they would not come back after going back today. He just happened to be able to tell Zhang Yanjin that it was Liu Yueer and Liu Taohua who didn't want to He came, but he didn't expect to be caught by Zhang Yanjin.

He bowed his head in embarrassment and stopped talking.

"Erlang, is it just some friction among the workers?" Chen Su comforted Zhang Yanjin when he saw his gloomy expression.The implication is to persuade Zhang Yanjin not to be so strict with Zhang Wuer.

Zhang Yanjin sighed heavily and said, "What happened at that time? Tell me about it."

He knew that since ancient times, men farmed and women weaved, women did not leave the door, and Zhang Wuer's thought of not going out was deeply ingrained in Zhang Wuer's heart, but he never thought that he would connive at his workers and disrespect women so much.

Zhang Wuer hesitated for a while, seeing that Zhang Yanjin's complexion didn't improve at all, and he was about to break the casserole and ask the end, so he knew that he couldn't help it, so he honestly admitted: "The workers found it incredible to see Liu Taohua and the others coming to work, and started Some people commented, and then some people began to scold Liu Taohua and the others for not obeying women's ways, no wonder they are widows, Kefu and other words, scolding Liu Yue'er for showing her face before getting married, not knowing etiquette, no wonder her husband's family doesn't want her..."

For every cockroach found, there are a hundred cockroaches.Looking at the autumn leaves, Zhang Yanjin knew that what the workers accused at that time was probably a hundred times worse than what Zhang Wuer told him now.

"As the steward of the tea factory, you just stand on the sidelines?" Zhang Yanjin's eyes were like lightning, staring at Zhang Wuer and said, he was really angry this time.

As a man, what he dislikes the most is men bullying women. Now that this kind of thing happened under his command, how can he not be angry?

"Erlang, I..." Zhang Wuer looked anxiously and pleadingly.

"You? You can't tell, I'll tell you."

Zhang Yanjin said coldly: "From the bottom of your heart, you feel that what those workers said is true. Liu Taohua and Liu Yue'er should stay at home and not leave the door. They come to work in the tea factory every day. Fudao, is it?"

Zhang Wuer lowered his head and did not speak, but he had to say that Zhang Yanjin's words were indeed very accurate.

"Zhang Wuer, I will tell you clearly today that I recruited four female workers today, and I may recruit more female workers in the future. As long as possible, all the tea factory workers will be replaced by female workers!"

Zhang Yanjin stared at Zhang Wuer closely and said, "If you don't like it, pack up your things and leave. I won't leave anyone who willfully indulges the workers to bully the female workers because of the large number of people and because he is in charge!"

He has always been very reassuring about Zhang Wuer's work, so today Zhang Wuer made a mistake, and he was so furious.Of course, there is also incomprehension and unacceptability of Zhang Wuer conniving at the workers to bully the female workers.

More importantly, he couldn't accept that the Zhang Wuer he had trained could turn a blind eye when others bullied Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer, and felt that it was not his fault.

In Zhang Yanjin's view, bystanders are as unforgivable as perpetrators!

"Erlang!" Zhang Wuer's eyes turned red instantly.

"Erlang, why are you so angry?" Seeing the tension in the atmosphere, Chen Su hurriedly persuaded him, "Didn't Wu Er want to make Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer's reputation better? He didn't want them to show their faces again. That's why he did such a ridiculous thing."

He paused and said, "Besides, you really plan to replace all the workers in the tea factory with women?" He didn't take Zhang Yanjin's plan to recruit female workers to heart at all, he just thought it was Zhang Yanjin's joke .

Zhang Yanjin took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer came out to make money with their own labor, what's bothering you?"

Chen Su was choked by Zhang Yanjin, and he said in a low voice, "It doesn't bother us, but isn't it against the rules for them to do that?"

He still feels that Zhang Yanjin's anger today is a bit inexplicable. Although it is wrong for Zhang Wuer to allow the workers to bully Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer, in his opinion, it is just a warning to them not to do that again. Little things.

"It's against ethics? Your ethics? Your cognition? Your rules?" Zhang Yanjin asked unceremoniously: "Which sentence in the code stipulates that women must be at home? Which sentence stipulates that women cannot come out to go to the house?" work?"

Chen Su was left speechless by Zhang Yanjin's refutation, and smiled awkwardly: "Erlang, that's true, but isn't this all the rules that have been handed down since ancient times? Besides, why are you still serious with me? gone?"

"Rules that have been handed down since ancient times?" Zhang Yanjin put his hands behind his back and sighed heavily: "It's just that you impose your concepts and thoughts on women."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yanjin opened the door and walked out. The workers outside who were standing neatly waiting for Zhang Yanjin saw that Zhang Yanjin's complexion was not good, so they all held their breath and looked at Zhang Yanjin quietly.

Zhang Yanjin glanced around the group of workers. His words were terrifying. Zhang Yanjin, who used to live in modern times, knew how terrible verbal violence is. In modern times, cyber violence can make a person depressed, let alone these workers Relying on their large number of people, why are they accusing Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer?

Ignorance is no excuse.

"This afternoon, you accused Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer of the four female workers, and even intentionally humiliated them. I would like to ask what standpoint you stand on to do this? And what reason did you do this?" Zhang Yanjin's voice was deep, but still full of energy. His voice reached the ears of everyone present, as if a hammer had been hammered hard in their hearts, shaking their hearts.

"Can you insult the four women just because you have a large number of people? Don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself. What if someone does this to you in the factory?" Zhang Yanjin asked unceremoniously.

For a while, the factory was quiet, only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.Although these workers did not agree with Zhang Yanjin's words at all, since Zhang Yanjin was the owner of the tea factory and the minister of the Ministry of Industry, they were not convinced and did not dare to say anything.

From their point of view, their accusations against Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer this afternoon were not wrong at all. Liu Yueer and Liu Taohua disobeyed women's morals and came out to show their faces, so they should accuse them and make them feel ashamed, so that they can be women at home in the future Red is right.

"I know that most of you here don't agree with what I just said." But they didn't expect that Zhang Yanjin not only saw what they were thinking, but also directly pointed it out: "You think you are right to accuse them so much?" Yes, because they came out to work and destroyed your previous cognition?"

Zhang Yanjin looked around the crowd again, and he said coldly: "But what I want to tell you today is that existence is reasonable. You don't need to understand or agree with it, but you can't disrespect, let alone bully you!"

He paused, and said again: "We are not gods, and we have no right to judge others based on our values! If you think it is right and reasonable for you to accuse them, then I will find a group of people to insult you and you will feel the same. Don’t you feel anything? Don’t do to others what you don’t want. Liu Taohua and the others rely on their hands to eat, neither steal nor rob, nor violate the code, and have nothing to do with you. Blame?!"

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more dignified, and the workers lowered their heads. In fact, they understood what they understood, but they couldn't accept it.

Zhang Yanjin asked the workers to think for a while, and then said: "From today, from now on, the tea factory has issued a new rule that men and women are equal in the tea factory. Men are not allowed to have any criticism of the women who come to work. You have to respect women, a man is a man, if you don't even have the minimum respect for women, how can you be a man?"

He gave a group of workers a cold look and said: "If someone violates the rules and insults others recklessly, then my factory will never welcome them."

The wages paid by his factory are the highest among the workshops in various places, and he is also the most committed. There has never been any delay in paying wages to the workers, so Zhang Yanjin has the confidence to say this.

Furthermore, Zhang Yanjin feels that this society is like this. Instead of saying those things to these workers earnestly, they may not change their minds. It is better to come up with a rule. Most people are blindly following the crowd. The phenomenon was even more serious, so as long as he made a death rule, no one dared to violate the rule. After a long time, they got used to the female workers working in the tea factory.

When they get used to it, the idea that women can work in factories like men will gradually grow in their hearts.

It's not that Zhang Yanjin thinks things too simply, but that the vast majority of ordinary people are ignorant and follow blindly. As long as he takes the lead, they will slowly follow him.

What's more, people in this era care most about face and self-esteem. He just asked them whether they are men, just to make them feel ashamed. Only in this way, they will not make the mistakes they made today.

He looked at Zhang Wuer, who was standing aside silently bowing his head, and said, "Today, Zhang Wuer didn't stop the workers in time when they made mistakes, and even condoned them, which violated the factory regulations. He was suspended for a month for reflection."

The workers immediately became agitated, and now they completely believed the regulations that Zhang Yanjin just said.After all, even Zhang Wuer, who has been following Zhang Yanjin, has been suspended, let alone them?

Looking at the shocked expressions on the workers' faces, Zhang Yanjin knew that he had achieved his goal.He wanted to suspend Zhang Wuer's post because the mistake Zhang Wuer made today was too big, and his actions were too immature, so he wanted Zhang Wuer to reflect on it for a while.

Second, it is to kill chickens to scare monkeys.Zhang Wuer has been suspended by him, do these workers still dare to take his regulations seriously?

After letting the workers leave, Zhang Yanjin came to Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer and said, "It was my inconsideration that caused you to suffer such a big grievance in the factory. How about doubling your wages today to compensate you?"

Liu Taohua and the others still feel that they are in a dream. What happened today is something they never dared to imagine before, but today it actually happened.

"Master Minister, thank you Sir..." Liu Taohua and his party suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Yanjin.He and the others had stupid mouths, and they didn't know how to say thank you, so they kept saying thank you, Mr. Minister.

Zhang Yanjin's heart softened, and she couldn't help feeling sad for these women.The living conditions are already so difficult, and they have to bear the accusations of social ethics, so if he says a few words for them today, they will be so moved.

"Get up quickly. What happened today is not your fault. You don't need to feel guilty." Zhang Yanjin asked Liu Taohua and Liu Yueer to get up and said, "It's your right to go out to work and earn money. No one can blame you. You don't need to hate yourself because of their words, if you impose the standards they imposed on you on yourself, don't you think it's too hard?"

It's not that Zhang Yanjin is talking too much, women are strong in this era, he is really afraid that these four women will go home and commit suicide after being humiliated.I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. At that time, he might have a bad conscience.

Seeing Liu Taohua and the others choked up and nodded, Zhang Yanjin said: "In this case, how about you promise me to continue working tomorrow?"

"Master Shi Lang protects us so much, we can't reciprocate, Sir Minister Minister asked us to come, we will come tomorrow." Liu Taohua spoke first.

Several other people also expressed their willingness to come tomorrow. In the end, Liu Yue'er, who was crying uncontrollably, also nodded.

Zhang Yanjin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you go to collect your wages, go home early."

After Liu Taohua and the others received double wages, Zhang Yanjin felt worried when he saw that the sky had turned slightly dark, and asked the servant who followed him to Zhongzhou to escort Liu Yueer, Liu Taohua and the others back.

Although Chen Su couldn't understand Zhang Yanjin's behavior, he still admired Zhang Yanjin's willingness to stand up and speak for women. In his opinion, a man should not bully a woman.

"Although I can't understand why you want to make trouble for yourself and find a woman to work in the tea factory, but I think your behavior just now is right. We can think it is unreasonable or disagree, but we have to have a minimum of respect for others. respect."

Chen Su thought for a while and walked over and said, "It's the same as my father forced me to marry a real wife and I don't want to marry. My father can think my ideas are unreasonable, he can disagree with me, but he must respect my choice."

Saying this, he nodded quite complacently and said: "Yes, I will tell my father that when I go back."

Then when you go back, what awaits you is not your father's loving gaze, but a meal of stir-fried meat with a whip.

Zhang Yanjin said silently in her heart that Chen Derang had always been far-sighted and rarely got angry. I really don't know what kind of scene Chen Derang was chasing and beating Chen Su, his precious son, with a leather whip.

"Erlang..." Zhang Wuer looked at Zhang Yanjin sadly and said in a low voice.

Zhang Yanjin's expression became serious again, he lowered his head to look at Zhang Wuer and said, "You should think about it for a while, and think about what to do in the future." After that, he walked forward, leaving Zhang Wuer behind. Stand alone.

It's not that he intends to make things difficult for Zhang Wuer, it's really because he has high hopes for Zhang Wuer, that's what happened. The so-called deep love and deep hatred are just like this.

Chen Su quietly comforted Zhang Wuer from behind and said, "Erlang also did this because he valued you too much."

Zhang Wuer nodded silently, and once again began to reflect on what he did today and what Zhang Yanjin said just now that existence is reasonable.

Women can't go out to work and can only stay at home. This is the cognition he has planted in his mind since he was a child, but what Zhang Yanjin said today made him start to reflect on whether his childhood cognition was wrong.

After confirming that the factory was stable, Zhang Yanjin arranged for craftsmen to dig salt wells in Pingdingshan the next day.

Digging wells was not difficult. In four or five days, people arranged by Zhang Yanjin dug many wells on Pingdingshan.

"Erlang, do you want to continue digging down? There are rock formations underneath." Seeing Zhang Yanjin coming to inspect, the craftsmen were a little worried and said, "We have dug for more than 20 meters, and there is nothing."

Zhang Yanjin just said: "Continue to dig down, and have a look when you reach 40 meters."

Although Pingdingshan has been eroded by wind for so many years, Pingdingshan used to be a mountain. If the salt bed can be dug out by only digging 20 meters, it will not be so many years before no one finds that there is salt under it. The bed is gone, isn't it?

The craftsmen looked at Zhang Yanjin in great perplexity. Seeing that Zhang Yanjin was unmoved, they could only continue digging.

After digging like this for another two days, the depth of the well has reached 30 meters. When Chen Su came over and saw the broken rocks piled up on the Pingdingshan, he was a little dejected and said, "Erlang, there are no mineral resources here at all, so let's give up." , and if we continue to dig like this, I am afraid that no house can be built on this flat-topped mountain.”

At this time, the craftsmen felt that Zhang Yanjin's judgment was wrong. After all, they had dug so deep, but the bottom was all rock.

"Isn't it four or fifty meters away? Continue to dig down." Zhang Yanjin said calmly.

Chen Su looked at Zhang Yanjin speechlessly and said, "So many craftsmen digging stones here every day, what a waste of people. You know that if nothing is dug up, our budget will be increased by a lot."
