After explaining the good things, Bai Qingyin sent everyone away, turned to look at the expressionless Kangxi, and said, "Are you unhappy?"

"Is there anything to be happy about?" Kangxi looked at Bai Qingyin coldly.

Kangxi knew that he was at a disadvantage now, but what Bai Qingyin did was too much. He didn't leave him any way of life. Was he trying to turn him into a puppet emperor?Back then, Oboi didn't dare to do this!

Bai Qingyin smiled and said: "Soon the people of the Qing Dynasty will get rid of smallpox, and countless people will no longer die because of smallpox. Don't you think this is a happy thing?"

"This is indeed a good thing, and it can accumulate a lot of merit for you." Kangxi looked at Bai Qingyin and said, "But I originally thought that this cowpox method was given to me in exchange."

"Naturally, it was given to you, but what is the use of giving it to you? The greatest effect of this vaccinia law is to help the people get rid of smallpox, but you act so radically, and the people now avoid the vaccinia law like a scorpion! If I don't come out again, I'm afraid this cowpox method won't be able to be completely accepted by next year!" Bai Qingyin said.

"Yes, I'm not as good as you. I can't make the people believe in the vaccinia method all of a sudden, but I also put a lot of effort into promoting the vaccinia method!" Kangxi retorted.

Bai Qingyin grinned, "The method of promotion is wrong, what's the use of trying harder? It's not that I didn't give you an idea, asking you to arrange an imperial doctor to build a hospital and vaccinate the children of poor families for free. This kind of family is poor, and if they have this opportunity, they will definitely consider it carefully, and they will most likely send their children there. At that time, as long as these children are safe and sound, the vaccinia method will naturally be promoted. "

"But you insist on promoting it from the princes and nobles! Why do you think that these people will let their children try a cowpox method that they have never heard of before because of your will?"

"The vaccinia method has been tried many times by people, and naturally there will be no mistakes!" Kangxi also knew that Bai Qingyin's method would be safer, but this method not only costs a lot of money, but also Kangxi thinks that the effect will not be very good.

From ancient times to the present, people will focus their attention on the upper class, thinking that the things used by the upper class are the best. No matter how many people at the bottom use the vaccination method, and no matter how many poor children are successfully vaccinated, it is not as good as giving the vaccine to the poor. Twenty or thirty children of the royal relatives and ministers' families were all successfully vaccinated, and the publicity effect of the successful vaccination was great.

"Forget it, I won't tell you anymore. I just tell you one thing, I can give you things, but I am for the sake of the people of the world, not to make you famous and consolidate your rule!" Bai Qingyin hated iron. Steel glanced at Kangxi, then flicked his sleeves and left Qianqing Palace.

After the upgrade, the imperial concubine sedan chair carried by six people rushed up, Bai Qingyin was very depressed.

It's not that Bai Qingyin never gave Kangxi a chance. At the beginning, she never thought that she would go to the front of the stage. She only thought of giving Kangxi something behind the scenes, acting as a conductor, and making the world better , Let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

But Kangxi disappointed Bai Qingyin time and time again, he would never agree with Bai Qingyin's ideas, so that's fine, every time he still offered Bai Qingyin some benefits and asked him to do things , he always thought about not doing anything, or letting Bai Qingyin take a step back and get all the benefits.

Bai Qingyin wasn't being taken advantage of, so how could he let Kangxi get what he wanted, but step by step, the two of them quarreled to the point where they are now.

Bai Qingyin felt that Kangxi Fang himself was the same as Fang Fang, and he also felt that Kangxi did not understand himself at all. What he did was obviously beneficial to this society, and things that would make the Qing Dynasty more prosperous did not have any power Thoughts, I just want to come up with an idea occasionally, that little thing helps Daqing develop rapidly, and the rest of the time I am happy to be a salted fish.

But Kangxi forced her step by step, so she had no choice but to come to this point.

Moreover, Bai Qingyin now feels that she is not satisfied with her original thoughts. After she really takes power, Bai Qingyin feels that this is much happier than being a salted fish.

Beijing Suburbs,

"Miss Wei, do you really want your wife and eldest daughter to work in some textile factory? You are not afraid of being laughed at by others, but are you not afraid that your eldest daughter will not be able to marry in the future? Which good family would marry one now? A girl who goes out to do work? Not to mention that your eldest daughter doesn't have that!"

Cui Musheng, the neighbor of Wei Laosan's family, went out to see Wei Laosan, and immediately greeted him, with a bit of schadenfreude in his heart.

The one in Cui Musheng's mouth is bound feet.

------

Although Cui Musheng is now farming in the suburbs of Beijing, his ancestors are decent people who have passed Juren. Even now, he thinks he is different from people like Wei Laosan, because Wei Laosan is a tenant farmer, and Cui Musheng's family has a few acres of land left by his ancestors. .

You know, this is the outskirts of Beijing, and a few acres of land can be regarded as a good family.

Cui Musheng has always been proud of these things, thinking that his family is a more respectable family, so his thinking is more "smart" than those around him.

Although the family is poor and there is a lot of farm work, Cui Musheng insisted on defying the "government order" of the Qing court, binding his daughters' feet so that they would never go out of the house, basically never see visitors, and be a "book book" A well-behaved woman.

Cui Musheng felt that in this way, he could find a good family and "sell" them for a good price, and it was not a waste of raising these girls.

Cui Musheng was proud of his small calculations, and because of this, he always had a mocking face towards those around him who didn't bind their daughter's feet, thinking that these people had no foresight.

Cui Musheng's remarks affected many families in his village. Some families who just wanted to sell their daughters, or because they loved their daughters very much and wanted their daughters to have a good home, bound their daughters' feet.

However, Wei’s old family came here because they were afraid of the government order, and because the population was sparse, they felt that if their daughter’s feet were bound, it would be equivalent to less labor, and it would be inconvenient to work in the future, so they were one of the few families in the village who did not bind their daughter’s feet.

Therefore, Cui Musheng has always had a superior and contemptuous attitude towards Wei's family, thinking that this family is timid, has no foresight and does not listen to advice at all. He is afraid that he will have no future in the future, and will spend his whole life digging in the dirt. doomed.

And when her daughter can't get married, she will know how wrong she is.

Cui Musheng felt so even more after Kangxi lifted the "ban on bound feet".

After Cui Musheng was there, every day he acted as if he was doing good to Wei Laosan's family, and came to persuade Wei Laosan that it would be useless for the eldest daughter to bind her feet at this age, but the other two younger daughters could not delay any longer. Could it be true? Do you have to wait until all the daughters can't get married, stay at home and become old girls, and then regret it when they are raised by brothers?

Hearing what Cui Musheng said, Wei Laosan was also slowly shaken.

But someone has to do the work at home, otherwise, would the family live on northwest wind?

And when Wei Laosan was struggling and hesitating, Kangxi actually re-issued the decree of "prohibiting bound feet", and if there is a daughter in the family who has not bound her feet, she can still go to the government to receive rice grains, which makes Wei Laosan very happy !

After receiving two bags of white rice from the government, Wei Laosan felt that it was the most correct thing in his life not to bind his daughter's feet. The rice was replaced by coarse grains and bran, enough for their family to feed for half a year!

After Wei Lao San carried the rice back, he told everyone he met in the village that he had done the right thing in not binding his daughter's feet!Otherwise, he would be worried all day long, worrying that he would be caught by the government, beaten, and exiled. He would have no way to get these rice back!

Cui Musheng scoffed at Wei Laosan's words. He felt that one day Wei Laosan would regret it. He regretted that because he was greedy for petty gains, he prevented his daughter from getting married and had to eat at home for the rest of his life!

But Cui Musheng never expected that it would be fine if he didn't bind his feet, and Wei Laosan would let his wife and daughter go out to do some work!

Although that factory is run by the government, and I heard that the wages are quite high, is Wei Laosan crazy to let women go out to work?

You know, some widowed mothers do some laundry work at home in order to support their children, and they will be looked down upon by the people around them and cause discussion!

Although no one dares to speak ill of the three wives and daughters of Wei's family due to the threat of the government, but they must have a steelyard in their hearts, and the reputation of this family may be ruined immediately!

Cui Musheng now looks at Wei Laosan's family with a mentality of watching jokes every day, to see when they will find out that they have committed a stupid act, and have taken several generations of their own family into it for a small amount of money.

------

Wei Lao San also knew what Cui Musheng was thinking, and smiled honestly on his face, and said: "There is no way, the family is poor, and the spinning mill and weaving factory are government-owned, so it's okay to say that only women do the work. It’s disgraceful. Besides, the wages are really high, Daguo’s mother and Daya are now said to have just entered the factory, they are considered as interns, and they get one or two half of their wages every month!”

"It is said that when you become a junior worker, you will get two taels of silver a month, and it will be even more serious when you become a middle-level worker or a senior worker! However, we know who we are, and we don't ask how high they can rise. I have always been an intern worker, and the two of them can get back three taels of silver every month! Wait for another two years, and my other two girls will also be old enough to enter the factory, so they will go in together, four mothers and daughters, one month You can have at least six taels of silver! That year is more than 60 taels, and if you work for two more years, you can buy a few acres of land for your family!"

When Cui Musheng heard that he could earn so much money, his eyes instantly became a little straight. Now that a middle-aged man goes out to do a long-term job, he can earn up to [-] cash a month. It needs to be higher by one or two, but it's all hard work for others!He has heard of the work in the factory, just sitting and stepping on some kind of machine, spinning, weaving and weaving. It's worth so much wages there!

But then, for the sake of face, Cui Musheng pretended to be indifferent, and told Wei Laosan: "Wei Laosan, I advise you not to trust the government so blindly, who knows whether what they say is true or not, what if it is true?" Under the pretense, I coax you to work, and when the time comes, hundreds of copper coins will be distributed, so go and enjoy yourself!"

After hearing this, Wei Lao San laughed and said: "How could it be? This is a factory built by the Goddess Saint Huang Guifei. There are gods watching it. No matter how bold the government is, they dare not do dirty things under the eyes of the gods."

"Besides, it was also said in the factory that Daguo's mother and Daya just went to work, and they can take a month's wages to go home first, and resettle the family well. No, I came back from the factory last night. Ya came back with the first month's wages, one tael or five taels of silver! Not a penny less!"

"What's the point of taking it once? If you have the ability, you can take it back every month. I'm afraid they will give you a month!" Cui Musheng finally couldn't hold back, and he said sourly to Wei Laosan, and walked away with the hoe.

Seeing Cui Musheng's embarrassed back, Wei Laosan laughed, and finally regained [-]% and let him make Cui Musheng sarcastic remarks in front of him every day!The government didn't allow the daughter's feet to be bound, so he insisted on binding them, and showed off everywhere, as if he could do anything without binding her feet!

He just stopped binding his daughter's feet, sent his daughter and wife to work in the government's factory, and just obeyed the government's orders honestly, what's wrong?

Now that he is rice and silver, he is envious of Cui Musheng, who is immortal!

Alas, in the final analysis, I still have to thank the holy emperor and noble concubine, the goddess who came down to earth, and can communicate with the gods in the upper world, so I have the work of this factory, so that two more people in their family can earn money, and life can be easier!

Wei Laosan bowed his hands on his chest, begging God to bless the holy emperor and noble concubine with a long life.

------

Some days later, when Wei Laosan's wife and daughter worked in the factory for two months and a few days, they took a total of six and a half taels of silver from home, because Wei Laosan's daughter, Wei Daya, did well in the factory because of her good performance in the factory. So in the second month, I became an official junior worker, and I could get two taels of silver every month!

On the day Wei Daya came back with her wages, Wei Laosan asked Wei Lao Niang to cook an egg for Wei Daya.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei didn't have any reluctance at all, she cheerfully scrambled an egg for Wei Daya, and also cut two slices of bacon for Wei Daya to eat.

You know, Mrs. Wei was originally the person who hated Wei Daya the most in the family, because she felt that it was because Wei Daya was the first child in the family that she was a girl, so she spoiled the family's Feng Shui, and two girls came in one after another. , and finally gave birth to two boys.

The two generations of old Wei's family were thin. Grandpa Wei escaped from the disaster, and there was no one else in the family. In addition, those years were difficult. Mrs. Wei gave birth to three sons, and the youngest Wei Laosan lived. One, so now the family lives together, a total of nine people.

Except for Grandpa Wei and Wei Laosan, they can only open their mouths and wait for food. Old Wei's family is not a rich family, so to raise five children, the men in the family can only go out and work hard. Wei Daya's grandfather It was because I worked so hard that I was exhausted.

Since then, Mrs. Wei has been particularly unhappy to see the three girls and Mother Wei in the family. Every day, all kinds of troubles are made, and dirty work is piled on the four of them. Come back and give her two good grandchildren so that she can marry a wife later.

It's a pity, because the three girls of the Wei family didn't have their feet bound. In this era where "small feet" are becoming more and more popular, it can be said that it is very difficult to marry, and there are not many bride price to be paid.

Because there is still work to be done at home, Mrs. Wei also knows that she cannot bind the feet of her three granddaughters, and the three granddaughters are also getting older, so they may not look as good-looking as others.

Because of this, Mrs. Wei was even more angry, and felt that she might as well be cruel and throw Wei Daya away after Wei Daya was born.Not only Wei Daya, she should give birth to a girl and lose one, so that there are only two grandchildren in the family, and it will be much easier to support, and her old man will not lose his life because of working hard. The family is harmonious and beautiful, how much good!

But since the government announced the various decrees and policies proposed by the imperial concubine, Mrs. Wei's attitude towards the mother and daughter has become a little better.

Because of these three maids, the family brought back two big bags of white rice, and before Erya and Sanya turned 15, they could receive [-] catties of rice every year.

Because of this, Mrs. Wei felt that it would be useful to raise a few maids.

As a result, what Mrs. Wei didn't expect was that the government actually built two factories for women to do the work!

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei thought that the girls in her family didn't have their feet bound, so it would be difficult for them to marry in the future, and they wouldn't be able to get much dowry, so now they go out to do some work, earn some money and come back to subsidize It is also good to subsidize the family and repay the kindness of the family for nurturing these years.

So Mrs. Wei asked someone to ask about the factory. When she heard that the salary was so generous, she became even more jealous. When she got home, she urged Wei's mother and Wei Daya to try the factory.

In the eyes of Mrs. Wei, who is used to being poor and whose wife died of poverty, what is shame?If she can get money, she is willing to throw her face on the street and be trampled on by others!

To be honest, if Mrs. Wei was not over 50 years old, she was too old, and the government only wanted female workers under the age of 45, and Mrs. Wei would be able to sign up by herself!

After all, a month is at least one or two halves!

Wei Lao San is a bit of a face-saving person, and he was not willing at first, but after Wei Lao Niang persuaded him in every possible way and threatened to hang himself, he still agreed.

Afterwards, Wei Laosan told Mother Wei and Daya Wei about this matter, which was a bolt from the blue for Mother Wei and Daya Wei!

Although the old Wei's family didn't have any broken rules of "women don't step out of the second gate", but it's not that Wei's mother and Wei Daya haven't heard the gossip outside. She didn't get married until she was 16 years old. If she went to work in some factory now, she might have to be an old girl at home for the rest of her life.

Wei's mother and Wei Daya cried together, Wei Laosan also felt that he could think about it again, but Wei's old lady couldn't!Two people, that's three taels of silver per month!

Mrs. Wei jumped out immediately, scolded Wei's mother and Wei Daya's mother and daughter, and finally forced them to do the work.

Finally, Mother Wei and Daya Wei went to the spinning mill to sign up with red eyes.

There were also some women who signed up with Wei's mother and Wei Daya that day, and they all had red eyes, only one eye was not red, which made Wei Daya remember deeply, she was a girl about her age, and she was very beautiful Even the most beautiful Xiulian in their village can't compare.

The girl in charge seemed to be called Qi Ruolan, a very nice name, and it sounded elegant, much nicer than Wei Daya.

Not only was Qi Ruolan the only one whose eyes were not red, she even had a smile on her face, asking questions from the officials.

Several young daughters-in-law around Wei Daya pointed at Qi Ruolan and whispered, saying that Qi Ruolan talked to the official like that, she was not a girl from a good family at first glance, and she was afraid that she would come out of the court to solicit business...

Afterwards, there were a lot of unsavory words, but Wei Daya couldn't bear to listen anymore, and she didn't have the courage to let these little daughters-in-law shut up, so she pulled Wei's mother to stand on the other side.

After walking away, Wei Daya looked at Qi Ruolan, who still had a bright smile on her face, and felt that she was not like what those little daughters-in-law said, she should be a good girl, or a beautiful good girl...

A few days after signing up, people from the government came to Wei's house to inform that Wei's mother and Wei Daya had been successfully selected to join the spinning mill, and they would go to work in the mill two days later.

The government also sent two sets of clothes, which they said were the "work clothes" of Wei's mother and Wei Daya.

Wei Daya glanced at it, and found that the overalls were a blue coat with some words she didn't know written on the chest. Later, Wei Daya asked the nurse in charge of the factory, and the nurse said that it was written on it. "Kingcheng Textile Factory".

And the material of the work clothes is very good, Wei Daya touched it carefully, and felt that it must be the best material she has ever worn in her life, even the most close-fitting small clothes can't compare!

The old lady Wei touched the material, and said that Wei Daya and Wei's mother entered the Fuwo, not to mention the salary every month, and a meal was included in the factory, saying that it was the kind that could eat to the full!

On the first day when they went to work in the factory, Wei's mother and Wei Daya woke up early, got up at dawn, ate something to rest, and then walked to the textile factory. The working hours stipulated by the factory were almost an hour earlier.

Fortunately, Mother Wei and Daya Wei were not the only two who arrived early. When they arrived, there were already many people standing at the gate of the factory.

After waiting for about half an hour, the textile factory opened. A steward who said it was a nun from the palace brought a group of people into the factory, and after giving them a lecture, handed them over to another group of nuns. , Let those nuns teach them how to use the spinning machine in the factory.

Wei Daya is not stupid, she got started very quickly, and she was praised by her mother, which made her feel a little flattered.

The training was only one morning, and after everyone had learned how to spin on the spinning machine, a nanny came again and took them to a place called the "canteen", saying that this would be where they would eat in the future.

Wei Daya held a wooden tray handed out by the mother, and lined up with the others, standing in the line waiting for the meal.

After Wei Daya finished cooking, she ate with Wei's mother. The first meal at the spinning mill had a profound impact on Wei Daya. When she was in her 60s, she always talked about it with her grandchildren. ——

"Scrambled eggs and fried pork slices with Chinese cabbage are covered with three pieces of rice. It is oily, and half of the three rice is white rice! That meal is really delicious!"
