[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Chapter 226 I'm a Princess in the Red Mansion 97

What Fengyu has to do is to make "Jing Huan" no longer have the soil to do anything wrong. The reason why "Jing Huan" can gather so many love ghosts is simply because women don't have many choices these days, and their lives are pinned on For different men, this is also the so-called obedience to the father at home, obedience to the husband when married, and obedience to the son when the husband dies.Therefore, many women without branches have to pin their hopes on the love between men and women, so that a large number of idiots and women have appeared. In the era of material abundance and women's economic and political independence, the minds are full of love and love. There are far fewer women.

Feng Yu cannot allow women to gain political independence in this era. What she needs to do is to enable women to gain economic independence.After all, if a girl can earn money, parents will not sell their daughter casually. Rather than getting a buyout money after selling it, it is better to let the girl work and earn a steady stream of income.Even if you need money in a hurry, you can send the girl to the workshop instead of the brothel Chufang.For example, nowadays, in the Jiangnan area, the status of women is much higher than in other places, because most of them have helped their elders spin and weave since they were young. Cardamom Nianhua has his own loom, and usually brings it when he gets married. There is at least one or two dollars of income per month. Even those who can’t afford a loom for a while can still work in small weaving workshops. Female workers are more careful than male weavers, eat less, and their wages are relatively lower. Therefore, many weavers prefer to use more female workers.There are even some women in some places who comb themselves for various reasons and never marry for life. This is naturally because they already have the capital to support themselves and do not need to be restrained by their fathers.

In the north, wool, as an emerging textile material, also brought a large number of jobs. Iron combs were used to comb out soft and fine cashmere from sheep. Weaving machines can turn wool into woolen cloth of different thicknesses. These require a small number of female workers, but ordinary small spinning wheels can also spin wool into wool, and sweaters of various styles can be knitted with a few bamboo needles. .Those who are so ingenious have started to make some accessories with wool, and the sales are also very good.

But this is not enough. Even if the fabrics these days are not strong, and there are no various detergents in later generations, the conventional cleaning method is to beat them with a mallet and then wash them. Therefore, the frequency of ordinary people washing clothes is actually not high.In addition, natural dyes are used today, which means that the clothes will fade once they are exposed to water.This is why it is often seen in the red building that people are often seen wearing half-new home-made clothes. In fact, this so-called half-new is nothing more than passing through the water once!And their clothes, at most, have been washed in water once or twice, and then they will almost never be worn again. Even if they are worn at home, they will not be said to be frugal, but poor.These clothes worn once or twice are finally rewarded to the servants.

It can be said that in this era, whether it is cotton or silk, they are almost fast-moving consumer goods, and the market has not yet reached saturation. However, women cannot rely on this alone to achieve economic independence. They have to have more ways Walk.

In the era when mechanization was not widespread, there were really not many jobs that women could do. Their physical strength determined that they could not compete with men in various physical tasks, and capital was profit-seeking. Women spun and weaved It's fast and good, so it's natural to use women. Other occupations that require higher physical strength and higher knowledge requirements will naturally only fall on those men.But the problem is that not all places are suitable for the textile industry. This requires some hard conditions, such as whether cotton, silkworms, and wool are produced, and whether the transportation is convenient. If you weave at home, you are not as good as in the market. Buying online is cheap, so who has the motivation to do it?The emergence of new-style textile machines has lowered the technical requirements a lot. The real high-yield and lucrative products are always low-end products, not high-end luxury goods.Like brocade, the most skilled weavers can only weave one or two inches a day when two people work together. It is also a big problem to train skilled weavers. It is difficult to expand production. After a year, it is not enough to meet the needs of the royal family. Easy, maybe the profit margin is quite high, but if you really want to make money, it is really not as profitable as those mid-range silks and satins.

What Fengyu needs is this kind of labor-intensive industry suitable for women, so that women can have more choices.But the premise is that the market must be opened up first, otherwise the things are produced but cannot be sold, it would be ridiculous.

Originally, Fengyu considered making soap, but what soap needs is oil, and now is not an era of rich oil, and people don’t have enough to eat, so this thing is destined to be a luxury item, not a daily necessities, and naturally there is no way to mass-produce it .

Feng Yu thought about many kinds of industries suitable for women, but finally found that the time is not so ripe now, so she had to give up temporarily.I just heard that Keqing had cultivated several new fruits, and now they were ripe, so I decided to go to Huangzhuang to relax.

"Auntie, have a taste of this honeydew melon. This is a cross-pollination of several kinds of honeydew melons selected by Daiyu and grafted. A total of six varieties have been screened out. The yellow one has the best taste, crisp and sweet. It is The flesh of the melon is also very sweet! There is also this light green one, which is not as sweet, but the skin is the thinnest; and this white melon, which has the thickest flesh and few seeds..." Ke Qing pointed at the melon with a smile on it. The honeydew melons cut into small pieces in the fruit plate were introduced one by one, "If auntie hadn't come by yourself, I was going to send some to auntie! In a few days, the watermelons and grapes in the field will be ripe, auntie If you're free, definitely come and have a look!"

But Qing is very grateful to Feng Yu, and she also feels that after doing so many things, Feng Yu can at least be reincarnated in heaven and humanity after death. At that time, she may not be a colleague of herself, and she may need help from others to deal with her sister in the future, so , she didn't mean to be condescending to Feng Yu, but rather courteous.

Feng Yu used a silver skewer to fork a piece of honeydew melon and put it into the mouth. Sure enough, the sugar content was higher than before, and the taste was better. It was not as soft as before, but very crisp. One piece, indeed each has its own characteristics, it seems that Daiyu is indeed very talented in this area, she couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really good, but why didn't I see Miss Lin?"

Ke Qing explained, "She's staying on the ground and she doesn't want to leave now. She went to the vineyard to look at the grapes, and she wanted to try to grow a kind of grapes that are big and seedless. She hasn't come back yet. !" Daiyu discovered that the improvement of food crops is not a matter of a day or two, so in her spare time, she began to improve various fruits and vegetables, and now it has been quite effective.

Feng Yu couldn't help smiling, and said with a smile, "That's good, I'll look back and see if it's best to grow grapes that don't need to spit out grape skins, it will save trouble!" It seems that Daiyu will not be a flower fairy in the future, but can also be a fruit fairy!

But Qing let out a "puchi" laugh, with her current status, no one would restrain her in matters such as etiquette, only others accommodated her, and there was no reason for her to accommodate others.For example, in Tu Jingchen's place, she is more at ease than Tu Yunzhao and Tu Yunna, who are direct brothers.After all, these two still have something to ask for, and Keqing has reached the point where even if she doesn't want anything, others will directly send it to her.Therefore, she doesn't talk about manners now. On Huangzhuang, she excuses that men and women are different, and more often finds women to come to work. On the contrary, she excludes those men to the periphery, and can only do some rough work.Although many people complained quite a bit, Keqing, the princess, had her status as her status, and if she wanted credit, there were not many people who were qualified to reason in front of her.If it weren't for the conditions, she even wanted to set up a women's school to teach women about breeding.

Although Keqing represents the hopeless side of Zhonggu in the Mirror of Fengyue, she still has a heart of compassion. She has more dealings with those poor lovers in the illusory realm, so she has a natural affection for women. Empathy, that's why she uses women more in Huangzhuang. Regardless of whether they are women or unmarried girls, she sincerely hopes that they can live well.It's just that in Huangzhuang, many of them are physical labor. What two men can do, but if you are a woman, you have to do it alone. That is to say, Keqing has money and food, so I am not afraid to use more people. As for other Zhuangzi, the Zhuangtou have already started to make trouble.

Seeing Feng Yu coming this time, Ke Qing had an idea. She told what happened to her, and then sighed, "Although the women in Zhuangzi don't bind their feet, they are not as strong as men after all. All of them are done very neatly, but the others are not good enough, so my niece wondered if I could make these farm work easier so that they would not suffer from physical problems!"

Feng Yu listened, and couldn't help but feel moved. This is indeed a good way. To put it bluntly, today's Daqi is still an agricultural country, and only a small number of people are actually engaged in industry and commerce. If some agricultural machines can be produced to reduce the dependence on physical strength, Isn't it better to give full play to the role of women, so that women can occupy a more active position in the family and society?After all, it is all work, and women do no less than men, and they are not as easy as men. They can even farm and support themselves, so they can naturally have a more important position in the family.

Therefore, Feng Yu readily agreed, and said, "You really reminded me, I hadn't thought of this before, how about this, I will live in Huangzhuang for a while, and see what kind of farm work there is. What needs to be improved in the agricultural equipment!"

Ke Qing was overjoyed, "Trouble Aunt, if this can be done, all women in the world will be blessed!",,
