Of course, Fang Lang didn't agree simply to support Vivian. In fact, when Vivian mentioned clothing design, Fang Lang immediately thought of how to resettle his compatriots in the country. He thought about what industries would absorb during the domestic reform and opening up. has the largest employed population.
It must be textiles and clothing! Brazil is a major cotton producer. How can we let go of such a natural advantage? It seems that we will start to build textile factories in Brazil and introduce textile machinery, sewing machines and other garment-making machinery.
Garment factory Fang Lang will also be established, but it will not be the focus. His idea was to set up a large-scale garment factory and serve as a model leader.
Then, immigrants were encouraged to set up their own garment factories, which fully blossomed and cultivated the Chinese middle class. Start some industries that require large capital investment, such as garment machinery manufacturing and textile factories.
Moreover, another advantage of Brazil is that there are high-quality pastures in the world on the Brazilian plateau, and the output of leather is amazing. Fang Lang, who came later, remembered very clearly that the amount of leather raw materials shipped from Brazil to China, Italy, France and other countries was astonishing.
Since there are such good resources, of course we must make good use of them. Developing some enterprises such as shoes, hats, and bags can also absorb a large amount of labor.
He is not worried about affecting the development of China in later generations. When the reform is opened, Fang Lang is prepared to support the construction of his hometown on a large scale. No matter what, you have to be a good friend of the Chinese people.
When Vivian heard Fang Lang's words, she didn't forget to raise her eyebrows at her sister, feeling extremely proud.
Now that Vivian can go to school, Lilith is actually still at the age of study. Mainly because of the war, she did not go to school after graduation.
"Lilith, what about you? Do you want to go to school? I'll send you to school while you're still young!"
"But I haven't read a book in more than three years, is that okay?"
Looking at Lilith's slightly hesitant expression, Fang Lang knew that Lilith also wanted to continue studying.
Here we have to admire Italy's high education penetration rate. Girls like Vivian and Lilith can learn the equivalent of high school diplomas in China today. It's pretty remarkable in this day and age.
Of course, this is partly due to the fact that their father, Mr. Coburn, is a businessman and his economic conditions are not bad. In fact, during World War II, Italy's educational level was second only to the United States, Britain, and Germany, ranking fourth in the world and surpassing Japan.
This can also be seen from the fact that a small country like Italy has so many excellent universities.
Although, Fang Lang's original cultural level was not high. However, the reborn Fang Lang had studied in college. Therefore, the importance of education is also very clear.
He is also preparing to implement compulsory education for school-age children of Chinese immigrants to Brazil to increase the cultural level of Brazilian Chinese. Only in this way can more Chinese be pushed into more important positions in Brazil.
Then, as long as all Chinese are instilled with the traditional culture of their ancestors during the basic education period and let everyone know where their roots are, he believes there will not be too many banana people.
"What does it matter? You are at home and not working now! Then you can study with Vivian. The key is whether you have a professional direction you want to study."
"Am I really okay?"
Lilith said with a slightly unconfident tone.
Before Fang Lang could say anything, Vivian had already spoken.
"Hey! Lilith, your academic performance was better than mine when you were studying! No problem, we study together."
Fang Lang stretched out his right hand from the front and held Lilith's hand and said:
"My dear, I believe you can do it. You just need to choose the direction of your efforts and move forward bravely. I will be your strongest backing and will provide you with all support."
Feeling the warmth and strength in Fang Lang's hands, Lilith knew that this was Fang Lang conveying confidence to him. After thinking for a moment, Lilith gritted her teeth and said:
"Okay, then after I go back, I will study with Vivian. I want to be a doctor. During the war, when I was a nurse in the naval hospital, I wanted to be a doctor. However, there are very few female doctors now, and I don't want to be a doctor." To know if I had a chance.”
This is a problem. Women today are indeed discriminated against in many situations, although the first feminist movement took off in the world at the end of the nineteenth century.
But the focus of the debate is the demand for gender equality, including equality between men and women throughout the life course. The most important goal is to strive for the equal value of family labor and social labor, and the equal value of political rights.
It does not change the basic view that women are subordinate to men in society. Therefore, the status of women in this period is actually not high.
Including, in terms of marriage relationships, monogamy was the mainstream in ancient Europe, but the phenomenon of polygamy still existed widely.
According to the record in 1 Kings, "Solomon had seven hundred concubines and three hundred concubines." It can be said that he had a large number of wives and concubines;
For another example, King Louis XIV of France had seventeen children, born to his queen and mistress.
Therefore, mistresses actually existed in a very widespread form in Europe during this period.
This is why Mrs. Coburn pushed the sisters out together in order to tie up Fang Lang.
Some people may say that there is no such backward polygamy in modern society. Then you are wrong. Take the United States, which is recognized as the most advanced.
Polygamy is prohibited by law, but polygamy still exists in Mormon culture.
Mormonism is the fifth largest religion in the United States. It has formed the so-called "Mormon Cultural Area" in nine states in the western United States. Mormons firmly believe that God encourages upright men who abide by the "Holy Mormon Covenant" to marry more than one person. wives, and viewed polygamy as a "principle," a "heavenly marriage," or a "new everlasting covenant."
In 1953, Arizona law enforcement authorities conducted a raid on a community practicing polygamy, but they were accused of violating citizens' religious beliefs and freedoms and received extensive media coverage; after that, law enforcement authorities did not dare to "act rashly."
In fact, it is also condoning the spread of polygamy in reality.
Americans still believe that polygamy is immoral, but some argue that if adults live in polygamy voluntarily and do not harm others, the government has no reason to make it illegal.
After World War II, due to the large number of adult male deaths in Europe and the United States, the relationship between mistresses was very common for a long time.
(I’m getting too far away here! Let’s get back to the topic.)
Occupational discrimination against women during World War II was actually very serious. It was not until the 1960s and 1970s, after the second wave of feminism, that some career fields began to be opened to women.
It was not until the third feminist movement in the 1990s that women began to be completely liberated.
In this period, most women exist as nurses, and there are only a handful of female doctors, so Lilith's worries are real.
Since his lover wants to become a doctor, of course Fang Lang will spare no effort to provide support!
"Don't worry! Lilith, let's first see if there is any medical school that recruits female students. If so, we will apply for this school. If not, I will make a donation to Harvard Medical School in the United States. I will give you the money. They take you in.
If you can't find a suitable hospital to accept you after graduation, I will build a hospital specifically for you and let you be the director. You can treat whoever you want. Don't worry, nothing can stand in your way. "
Listening to Fang Lang's heroic words, Lilith was so moved that her eye circles began to turn red. She reached out from the back row and hugged Fang Lang tightly. Fang Lang's face was covered with bright red lip prints.
"Honey, I love you! I want to give you my whole body and soul."
Hearing Lilith's emotional words, Fang Lang trembled all over and was so excited. Does this mean that he can just push it down tonight? So what are you waiting for? Fang Lang is not a polite person.
At this moment, Vivian beside her also said delicately:
"Me too, honey, and I'm going to be with you tonight too."
How to do this, knock down two at the same time? Wouldn't it be too animalistic? However, if you don’t push it, you will be worse than a beast.
How could our beast Lang do something worse than a beast!
Looking at the two girls behind him with bright eyes, Fang Lang didn't say anything, but just started to laugh without listening. Soon the two girls blushed under Fang Lang's fiery eyes and hey laughter.
However, although their cheeks turned red when Fang Lang looked at them, their eyes did not flinch. Instead, they looked at Fang Lang affectionately.
No man can stand this situation! Fortunately, Fang Lang was physically a young man, but his heart was already very mature, so he was not in a hurry to take the two of them to the hotel.
Instead, he took the two of them to enjoy a delicious meal at a high-end restaurant. Then, I wanted to take the two of them to go shopping. As a result, it turned out that there was nothing worth visiting at all.
I don’t know if a few people didn’t find the right place, or because of the war, supplies were all tilted toward the war, and there weren’t many places for shopping and consumption.
After a few people could only visit the San Lorenzo Episcopal Church, Fang Lang took the two girls and checked into a high-end seaside resort hotel. I know you don’t like to read the contents of high-end hotel suites, so I won’t describe them too much here.
