Several people, including Yu Yongzhong, thought about it and found that it was indeed a question of money. If they made more money, their husbands and parents-in-law would take the initiative to take on other housework.
After a woman marries into the man's family, the common people must be able to cook, wash and honor their parents-in-law.
Many men can't cook. Even if the mother-in-law can, she still has her daughter-in-law do it. Some father-in-laws even have to cook on a small stove.
If a woman can earn a lot of money, her mother-in-law will definitely take over the work at home for the sake of money.
"Your Highnesses, I have another thing to say. If a woman comes out to do things at home, her family will worry. The person in charge must be a woman.
Men are not allowed to participate and avoid being gossiped about. In this way, women's social status gradually improves.
Different outcomes occur when a woman's income becomes the breadwinner of a family.
One is when men hit women. When men find that they are unable to make more money and still want to save face, they will use force to solve the problem.
The other is that men feel guilty and will try to do other things well. In this case, women will be happy. "
The head of the village mentioned family issues, which were very important. Anyway, there weren’t that many messy things in Xiaqiu Village.
"Zhu Lichang, if someone goes home and beats his wife, we don't know how to deal with it?"
Yu Yongzhong considered that his wife made more money than he did, and found that it was really uncomfortable and made him look incompetent.
"It's very simple. When we set up a textile factory, we need to support the factory with a kindergarten, a factory-run hospital, and a factory-run canteen.
We help the Weaver Girl who comes to work solve some problems at home, such as taking care of the children. We let their children come to study.
If you are sick, you don't need to go to Huimin Pharmacy, you will be taken care of directly. As for the canteen, it is a place to eat, and you are also allowed to buy food back to Zhinu's family.
If it is found that the Weaver Girl's family is not harmonious, the Weaver Girl will be abandoned immediately, and all the benefits that she and her family should enjoy will be cancelled.
Unmarried women can also come to study and work. In this way, if there are little brothers and sisters at home, they are allowed to enter the school. "
The village chief gave a solution, which is to add a lot of extra benefits to people. If a woman gets beaten when she goes home because she makes a lot of money, she will have nothing.
He will not ask others to reconcile and divorce. He cannot say that a woman makes more money and a husband beats his wife to separate the family.
"Why can an unmarried woman allow her younger brothers and sisters to come to school? Who cares about the money? Especially girls."
Yu Yongzhong still can't figure it out. The investment is too big. We are just doing business, but we still care about other people's families? Is it worth teaching female dolls to read?
Zhu Fang figured it out: "Prefect Yu, this is a deal between my brother and us. We are not just trying to make money. Why can't the girl be literate?
In the future, women will have to do more things. How can they be managed if the people in charge are illiterate? Men manage women?
Look at the seven around them. They are amazing. They know everything. They usually help with accounting and they can make explosives.
At the worst, the palace would give up 10% of the profits to provide convenience and welfare to Weaver Girl. "
"What His Highness King Qin said is absolutely true." Yu Yongzhong quickly changed his attitude again.
…
That night, the deposit reached 520,000 yuan, and people from other counties came over one after another, ready to take a look, and then rent a place in their own county to grow cotton, pay the deposit, and occupy a set of machinery.
The craftsmen entered work mode, some built greenhouses, and some built equipment.
When money comes out of the deposit, no one thinks it’s wrong and they all think it’s normal. Otherwise, why would you pay a deposit?
When you make money, the deposit will be returned.
People who finished planting the land were immediately hired to go up the mountain to clean up the weeds. They were not allowed to light fires, they just shoveled and pulled them out normally. Useless small trees were cut down and used as firewood along with the grass.
The cold dew season has arrived, and there is a hint of chill in the morning. The crowds who went to explore the road and build hunter cabins return.
I brought a lot of game with me, some of which were pickled in salt, and some of which were still fresh.
In the past, hunters picked first, which was part of the cost of hiring them to guide them. Even if they said they didn't want it, they thought it was helping them. It was good if they didn't pay for it. How could they still ask for something?
There was game, so after breakfast, when Xiaqiu Village began to prepare meals for the prince and King Qin, they killed a pig.
Yes, they didn't touch the game, let others eat it! Just leave the skin on.
Carnivores have the strongest smell, so they rarely bathe in order to enclose their territory.
During the cold weather, Xiaqiu Village cooked pig meat for others, stuffed them with blood sausage and sausage. The small amount of blood sausage was just the head of the large intestine.
The small intestine was reluctant to be stuffed with blood sausage and wanted to be made into sausage. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin loved to eat this.
Yu Yongzhong still came to accompany him. He didn't care about the whole pig feast. Even if he tasted the nine-turn large intestine for the second time, he wouldn't be surprised.
What puzzled him was where the cabbage came from to make sauerkraut. Shouldn't sauerkraut be made by putting it in a big vat and pressing it with stones?
The team has only been here a few days, do you dare to eat the sauerkraut you made? Aren't you afraid of eating dead people? Not to mention it won’t be sour!
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, why not let me eat this pickled cabbage first." Yu Yongzhong wanted to test the poison himself.
"Prefect Yu's heart, I took it. The sauerkraut is made in a large bottle with a narrow mouth. I started making it on the way before.
Xiaqiu Village bought cabbage that was not growing well, put it in the car to dry in the sun, cut it into shreds, washed it, put salt in it, put it in a bottle, and corked it with a cork.
Of course, the water inside is full and no gaps can be left, otherwise it will break.
Take it out today, the day is just right, otherwise they wouldn't think of making pig-killing dishes. "
Zhu Biao knew what Yu Yongzhong meant and told him how to make sauerkraut.
"What bottle is better to use?" Yu Yongzhong wanted to learn. This method is good.
"The pottery ones are fine, but the transparent glass bottles we used turned out to be cans inside. If you eat the cans, you can't throw away the remaining bottles. Let's make sauerkraut!"
The captain brought a glass bottle over, with a big belly and a long neck, and a cork on it. Inside was newly added shredded cabbage, salt, and water.
"It's true that you can't throw it away. It's because pottery is more convenient. What's the difference between this one and the big pottery jar?"
Yu Yongzhong found that he could not use the same tools because the glass bottle was too expensive.
“The difference is that after the cabbage is harvested, it is pickled in a large vat and cannot be eaten after the beginning of spring.
And this method can be done at any time in the summer, as long as there are vegetables, the sealing is better than the water sealing, the large tank uses water to isolate the air.
The main purpose of pickling food is to isolate the air, which is the function of anaerobic bacteria. Then normal pickling will produce nitrite, which must be decomposed before eating.
It usually takes half a month, a few more days is better, it depends on the temperature! If the temperature is too low, try to eat it two days later. "
The chief introduced it, and by the way, he helped the other party to learn more about it. He was not responsible for whether the other party could understand.
"I know, don't let the air leak out, marinate for more than 20 days." Yu Yongzhong chose the simplest way, and other terms he thought were useful to him.
No more today, thank you all! The quality of sleep in the farmhouse has been very poor recently, and the upstairs is being renovated! Otherwise, why would the water leak? From 8:30 in the morning to 18:30 in the evening, for four consecutive days, all kinds of electric hammers were used.
