When Huang Manxiang received the imperial edict, everyone was stunned.
Although she knew that the saint would arrange for her to enter the Brocade Courtyard, she never expected that the emperor would directly appoint her as the director of the Brocade Courtyard!
Not to mention, she has now transformed from a civilian into a sixth-grade official.
The most important thing is that there has never been a precedent for a woman to be appointed an official in Da Chu!
This kind of glory is unique in the world!
Huang Manxiang's heart was suddenly filled with gratitude to the saint!
How could Pang Ming be dealt with so quickly if not for the help of the saint?
If the saint hadn't appreciated her, how could she have been made the director of the Brocade Courtyard by His Majesty?
Huang Manxiang made up her mind that no matter how difficult the future was, she would definitely make a career in Zhijinyuan!
Only in this way can she repay the saint for her kindness.
The reform of Zhijinyuan was carried out with great enthusiasm.
There was a petty official named Li Shun who was dissatisfied. He thought that it would be his turn to come to power after Chief Pang was dismissed.
Unexpectedly, a new boss came right away, and she was a woman!
What's more important is that it was he who asked Huang Manxiang for a bribe, but the woman refused to give it, so she was not selected for the Brocade Academy.
What an enemy!
Li Shun was afraid that Huang Manxiang would cause trouble for him, so he gave the new boss a slap on the wrist on the first day.
He said angrily: "I don't know which master Huang is, the guest of honor, but he actually got the position of the director of Brocade Academy as an abandoned wife?"
The female workers in the Brocade Yard couldn't help but frown when they heard this.
Li Shun was usually mean to them, but he didn't expect that he would dare to speak like this in front of his boss.
Huang Manxiang smiled instead of being angry: "I got the position of director of the Brocade Institute by improving the loom."
"That day, you were the one who asked me for a bribe. If you didn't get it, you would get angry. I still remember that villain's face clearly to this day."
"Li Shun, how did a person like you get into Zhijinyuan when you are obviously good for nothing and can only accept bribes?"
Li Shun did not expect that she would reveal the fact that she had accepted bribes in public, and couldn't help scolding: "Stop talking nonsense! It's obvious that your skills are inferior to others, and you are holding a grudge after losing the election!"
Everyone is tacitly aware of the bribery thing, this woman is really ignorant!
Huang Manxiang said deliberately: "My skills are not as good as others? Then Mr. Li must be the best in textiles, right?"
Li Shun sneered: "Textile is just a woman's business, why should I understand it?"
Huang Manxiang pretended to be puzzled and said: "Li Shun, since you don't understand anything, could it be that you are living like a moth in the Brocade Courtyard every day?"
"You! You, you bitch! I'll fight you!"
Li Shun was so angry that he rushed towards Huang Manxiang in a daze, wanting to hit Huang Manxiang.
Someone immediately came up to stop Li Shun and held him back.
Huang Manxiang said coldly: "Li Shun usually accepts bribes, neglects his duties, and is disrespectful to his boss. Today I will dismiss him from his post and drive him out of the Brocade Courtyard!"
Li Shun suddenly became furious and shouted: "How dare you, bitch? Why do you drive me away?!"
Huang Manxiang said loudly: "Just because I am the head of the Brocade Academy personally appointed by the emperor's decree!"
As soon as these words came out, no one dared to answer them.
Huang Manxiang glanced at everyone majestically and said solemnly: "I will let go of the past. If anyone dares to accept bribes in the future, they will end up like Li Shun!"
There were still a few people who were aggrieved and wanted to speak for Li Shun, but now they are silent.
It is said that a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
Since your job is saved, why take risks for colleagues who just have a face-saving relationship?
Seeing that the situation was over, Li Shun quickly begged for mercy: "Master Huang, I shouldn't be disrespectful to you. I really know my mistake. Give me another chance..."
Huang Manxiang turned a deaf ear to this and ordered: "Come here! Drive Li Shun out of the Brocade Courtyard. He will never be allowed to come in again!"
Seeing that there was no hope of begging for mercy, Li Shun yelled: "Huang Manxiang! You bitch! I don't know what despicable means you used... Uh-huh..."
Her majesty was established, and someone immediately took the order, covered Li Shun's mouth, and dragged him out.
Huang Manxiang knew that Li Shun was definitely not the only one who took bribes.
But when she first came to Zhijinyuan, she was the first female official from a civilian background, so it was not easy for her to deal with people in a big way.
First, it will be criticized and make people panic, which is not conducive to the subsequent reforms; second, if everyone is dealt with, there will be no one to work.
Now, let's kill the chicken as a warning to the monkey and deal with the biggest thorn in the side, Li Shun, so that she can establish her prestige and avoid being tripped up everywhere.
Just take your time with the rest, the days are long.
To everyone's surprise, after driving Li Shun away, Chief Huang did not continue to show off his power.
Instead, they identified people according to the roster and visited each female worker in person.
Then, she asked people to carry out the pedal spinning wheel and cotton seeding machine she invented, and demonstrated how to use them in public.
At this time, the female workers in the brocade courtyard quickly accepted the new boss Huang.
For female workers, it would be better to let people who truly understand textile techniques manage the brocade courtyard.
A female worker looked at it for a while and then said in surprise: "Master Huang, I have never seen your textile techniques before?"
Huang Manxiang glanced at her and said with a smile: "Are you Liu Fang? I learned this technique from the Li people, so few people in Beijing have seen it."
The female worker named Liu Fang was suddenly surprised and happy.
Unexpectedly, the boss actually remembered her name! He even explained it to her patiently!
Liu Fang said sheepishly: "Master, can you teach us this technique?"
Huang Manxiang said gently: "I will teach you all my techniques."
Liu Fang said happily: "That's great!"
I didn’t expect Master Huang to be so close to them!
Another person sighed: "I heard that the place where the Li people live is full of miasma. How did Mr. Huang go there?"
Huang Manxiang told the female workers about her experience.
After the death of her husband, she was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law, traveled thousands of miles to learn textile techniques from the Li people, and then moved to the capital to make a living because she was attracted by the Brocade Weaving Institute, and finally was killed by Pang Ming.
The female workers heard this with sympathy and admiration.
Huang Manxiang added: "Because the Holy One heard that I improved the loom and recognized my merits, he made an exception and appointed me as the director of the Brocade Academy."
"Now that the Holy One is wise and employs talents in an eclectic way, I hope you will work with me to reform the textile process and make a difference in the Brocade Institute, so that the people of Chu will not have to worry about dressing in the future!"
Everyone was very excited when he said this and felt that their whole bodies were full of energy!
For the first time, the female workers felt that even though they only knew how to weave, they were no worse than the men!
Mr. Huang is not only an outstanding weaver, but he also teaches them new techniques without any secret, and is willing to help them earn a future.
The foot-operated loom and cotton seed-removing machine she invented save time and effort, and can greatly improve textile efficiency.
In this way, who can not admire Master Huang?
