Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Qian blushed suddenly, because he suddenly found that most of the skin of these female workers was exposed, only wearing a tube top and short pants on the lower body.

Zhao Kuo obviously noticed this too, and after a short thought, he suddenly understood the reason.

In fact, it is very simple because it is too hot, you can't wear short sleeves, you have to go to this point to be within the range that the human body can bear.

This kind of high-temperature environment actually exists in later generations, but the advancement of science and technology can provide more solutions, and the current Han Dynasty does not have such a solution.

Zhao Kuo stroked his beard and said slowly, "Now this old man finally understands why factories like yours are full of female workers."

Li Lanhua, Director Li nodded and said, "It's actually not convenient, so why don't you invite the two adults out, how about we talk outside?"

Li Lanhua could also tell that the two people in front of him didn't seem to be serious officials of the Ministry of Finance, they might have other identities.

Zhao Kuo is not very interested in looking at the bodies of women who are not his own, especially the bodies of a group of aunts, so after hearing this sentence, Zhao Kuo quickly followed Li Lanhua out of the factory building and went outside on the open space.

Zhao Kuo took the lead and said: "Actually, I am very curious. If a woman like you works here, don't the men in the family have any objections?"

Zhao Kuo didn't mean to discriminate against women, but Zhao Kuo knew that in this society of this era, most men's ideas are very, very conservative and traditional.

Therefore, under such a social atmosphere, it is quite amazing that hundreds of thousands of women can work in the steam engine factory in such a cool dress.

Li Lanhua smiled after hearing Zhao Kuo's words.

"My lord doesn't know. In fact, like our factory, a large number of people lost their husbands in the war, so there will be no men in the family to object."

Zhao Kuo nodded slightly. This is indeed a fact. You must know that many women lost their husbands during the years of war.

In this era, places like China where wars are frequent, because men tend to die or be captured in large numbers in wars, basically there are more women than men.

So unless you want to be a concubine, it is really difficult to find a new man when there are more women than men.

Then when these single women entered the factory, naturally no one would gossip.

Zhao Kuo thought for a while and asked another question.

"You also said just now that a large number of people have lost their husbands, but there are still some people who have not lost their husbands, and why are they here?

Will their husbands agree too? "

After Li Lanhua heard this question, the smile on her face increased a lot.

"They are here, of course, because the husband at home doesn't make enough money.

They can now earn enough money in this factory, so for the sake of money, what can their husbands say to them? "

After hearing Li Lanhua's words, Zhao Kuo completely understood.

This is indeed the case, no matter in any age, as long as women can work and make money, their status will definitely increase.

This is the real reason why the more developed the country, the more women hold up half the sky.

Chapter 1247 Women can hold up half the sky

Is it important to make money?

Regardless of whether it is through the ages, no matter what country you ask the people of, these people will definitely tell you categorically, yes.

Making money is of course a very important thing, because with money, you can buy more daily necessities, obtain a more comfortable living environment, and make your life happier.

As far as these female workers are concerned, the money they earn may not be enough to make them the top group of people in this society, but in fact it has surpassed a large part of the people.

why?

The answer is also very simple, because they work in the steam engine textile factory that represents the highest level of technology in society today.

A female worker was called in front of Zhao Kuo. She was wearing plain clothes, without any makeup on her face, and her cheeks were flushed, obviously because of the heat in the factory just now.

Zhao Kuo asked curiously, "What's your name?"

The female worker was obviously a little cautious, and saluted Zhao Kuo and Zhao Qian: "My lords, the name of the civilian girl is Liu."

Many low-level women don't have names in this era. No matter your name is Liu Hua, Liu Mei, Liu Xue or something else, after you get married, you will be named Liu, so you simply don't have a name.

Zhao Kuo nodded and said, "Are you married?"

Mrs. Liu said: "It's done. My husband's family is Mrs. Chen, who works as a carpenter."

Zhao Kuo said, "Who has the higher salary, you or your husband?"

Mrs. Liu laughed, showing her clean teeth: "I am three times his size.

He used to have a lot of work to do, but these years, iron has made more and more things, and his business has become worse and worse. "

Li Lanhua on the side smiled and said, "Her children are two years old now, and they are all brought by her husband."

Zhao Qian, who had been silent all this time, was also very surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask: "A man with a child at home?"

No matter in any era in history, it is very rare for a man to bring a baby at home, especially in this era.

Liu Shi still had that clean smile: "That's right?

To be honest with the two adults, didn’t our square open a primary school recently?

The two of us just thought, while my work can make money now, I should do more and earn more.

When the child reaches the age, send the child to primary school to study.

Know a few more words, no matter what in the future, you will become a scholar, and you can make more money. "

Zhao Qian became more and more surprised: "Are you letting your children study to make money?"

If it is in modern times, it is a matter of course to study for making money, but it is still the same sentence, in this era, readers who can read are so superior to businessmen that they don't know where to go.

Liu said with a smile: "Yes, my little lord.

What kind of accountants in our factory, sales, they make a lot more money than us, and they are also relaxed every day.

Like our child, he is not an aristocrat, and he will not be able to enter the government in the future, so let him learn how to read well, and he will be able to sell things as a bookkeeper in the future. "

Zhao Qian wanted to continue to say something, but at this time Zhao Kuo had already spoken: "Very well, thanks for your hard work, Mrs. Liu, go back."

Mrs. Liu responded, and hurried towards the factory building. It could be seen that she was really eager to make money as she said just now.

Zhao Kuo watched Liu's leaving back, and said to Li Lanhua indifferently, "It seems that the benefits of your factory are indeed very good."

To be able to make a man willingly bring up a baby at home, and to make a woman arrange her child's future life so calmly, it is actually a matter of family status, that is, money.

Li Lanhua laughed, and said to Zhao Kuo, "My lord, I'm afraid you don't know that although our factory is the second factory, we were the one with the best profit in the textile group in the entire Dahan Kingdom last year."

Zhao Kuo chuckled and said, "I've heard a saying that women hold up half the sky, at least from your point of view, it should be true."

Li Lanhua's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Zhao Kuo's words, and said with a smile: "Women can hold up half the sky, what your lord said is really good, I must write it down and tell everyone sisters."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile: "Do well, and look forward to your performance in the future."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Kuo took Zhao Qian into the carriage and left the textile factory.

After watching Zhao Kuo's carriage leave, Li Lanhua showed a sincere smile on his face.

"Your Majesty didn't expect him to be such a kind person."

Sitting on the carriage, Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian who was hesitant to speak several times, and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Zhao Qian couldn't help but said: "Father, women can hold up half the sky, isn't it too advanced?

In fact, the ministers have always had opinions on this textile factory. If the father's words spread, I'm afraid they will have to submit a memorial again. "

For Zhao Qian, he is still in a relatively conservative ideological situation.

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about this, because this is an out-and-out fact.

With the continuous improvement of productivity, women's achievements in work will continue to improve, and by this time, women's status will naturally improve.

As emperors, we don't need to deny it, but we should accept this fact. In this way, we will have a group of new supporters, a group of builders who can help us build our country.

Think about it carefully, compared with this, are the proposals of a few ministers and Zhou Zhang so important? "

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Qian suddenly realized.

It is true that women have become mainstream workers in society. This is something that will inevitably happen with social development. No one can stop this trend, because this is the historical law of social development.

Besides, for the emperor, it is beneficial and harmless for women to participate in work in large numbers.

For a long time, women have been able to assist men at home to do some low-value work, which is not meaningful to society.

On the other hand, if women can go out of the house to do some high value-added work, to do something that can create more value for the society, then it will be able to better help the development of this society, and will be able to make the Han Kingdom This society has become stronger, and this is a real good thing.

After Zhao Qian understood this truth, he also secretly admired Zhao Kuo in his heart. He felt that his father was indeed worthy of being the most powerful emperor in history, and he could even say such a slogan of equality between men and women.

Equality between men and women is definitely a very normal thing in modern society, but, in today's era of the Han Dynasty, it can even be said to be earth-shattering.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian in front of him, laughed too, and said to Zhao Qian, "Okay, next thing, we should set off for the next place."

This time, Zhao Kuo didn't come here randomly for the private visit on Weibo, but had already chosen the target in advance.

Zhao Qian couldn't help asking curiously: "Where is the next place?

Father? "

Zhao Kuo blinked: "It's a very peaceful small village."

Chapter 1248 A Quiet Small Village

Are you going to a small village?

The moment he heard Zhao Kuo's words, great interest immediately surged in Zhao Qian's heart.

Zhao Qian was really curious, what kind of small village would his father take him to?

The carriage slowly moved towards the east, and after about half an hour, it completely left the range of the imperial capital.

At this time, Zhao Kuo pointed to a small village not far in front of him and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, it should be there."

After Zhao Qian heard Zhao Kuo's words, he immediately set his sights on this small village.

But to Zhao Qian's surprise, this small village really looked like an ordinary small village, and there was nothing special about it.

Zhao Qian's doubts were clearly shown on his face, so of course Zhao Kuo noticed it all at once, but Zhao Kuo just laughed at this and did not explain this matter in detail.

After a while, the two entered the village in a carriage.

Zhao Qian looked around curiously, and after entering the village, he finally found something that seemed hard to see in other villages.

On the square in the center of the village, a group of teenagers and children, big and small, stood there in a queue that looked like an army, and then there were several old men and middle-aged men standing aside and giving orders to them.

"Raise your hand and prepare to aim, shoot now!"

After Zhao Qian heard these words, his eyes widened immediately, and at the same time he understood why he had such a strong sense of familiarity when he saw this formation just now.

This is mainly because in this village, what they practiced was carried out in accordance with the standard formation and requirements of musketeers.

In other words, if everyone in their hands stuffed a musket, then this place is not just a group of villagers, but a team of musketeers in the true sense.

Seeing Zhao Qian's shocked expression, Zhao Kuo also laughed happily.

"How about it?

Is it surprising?

Frankly speaking, when I just found out that this village existed, it was actually quite unexpected. "

Zhao Qian nodded, and couldn't help but said, "Don't these people need to do other activities?"

Zhao Kuo laughed. At this time, he had already seen the oldest old man among the instructors in the village walking towards him slowly.

"My child, someone should answer your answer soon."

Sure enough, at the next moment, the old man walked up to the father and son, and said very respectfully, "I don't know what's the matter with you two coming to our village?"

The reason why the attitude is so good, of course, is because the old man can see that the clothes worn by Zhao Kuo and his son are relatively expensive, and judging from their body shape, they can also know that they should belong to the official class.

Zhao Kuo smiled and said to the old man: "I heard that there is an old village head in your village who likes to lead the men in the village every day to practice various gun tactics. I wonder if it is you? "

Don't look at Zhao Kuo as the emperor, but he is actually a person who respects the old and loves the young. This is a traditional virtue, and it will not change in any way because of your different status.

After hearing the greeting, the old man also showed a smile, and said proudly: "To tell you the truth, the old man is indeed the village head of this village, and as the guest can see, these children in our village are indeed Practicing various techniques and tactics with muskets."

Zhao Kuo nodded with a smile and said: "Our old Zheng said that I am actually a member of the Zhao clan, and I am also an official in the imperial capital. Today, I am asking for leave and want to go back to my hometown Linzi, but I just heard He said he was passing by your village, and he heard that your village is very popular in martial arts, so he came over to have a look."

After hearing Zhao Kuo's words, the old man also smiled, and the proud expression on his face became more and more obvious, and said, "So it's Master Zhao.

I would like to ask adults to take a look at it casually, we are all open here, and anyone who wants to come and have a look will have no problem. "

Zhao Qian couldn't hold back his curiosity at this time, and asked, "This old village chief, is the labor force in your village so rich?
