First Minister of Ming Dynasty
First Minister Section 384
In the midst of such doubts, Zhang Ximeng stood up and told the female workers when he returned to Yingtian that he believed in big guys, weavers are not humble, and they will surely succeed.
To tell the truth, almost all the weavers wept after hearing these words.
It is said that it was Zhang Xiang who advocated granting land to women at the beginning, and supported women's schooling, and also approved women's entry into the court as officials.Zhang Xiang's wife was the first female official, and Zhou Huiniang, who came to Suzhou this time, was also a female official. Among the officials who came from Ming Dynasty, there were many women.
Since they can do a good job, why can't we do a good job?
It doesn't make sense!
"Sisters and sisters, everyone, stand up! We must discuss a way out, come up with a proper idea, and run the workshop well, so that those who look down on us will impress us!"
The rest of the female workers also clenched their fists and gritted their teeth after a short moment of disappointment.
No matter what, do it!
The female workers got together, and first took stock of the situation... The original master of the big family had been killed by Zhang Xiang, and those foremen, supervisors, minions, and thugs were all gone.
No one beat them with whips anymore, and no one tried their best to press and search them to force them to work.
Human beings are not beasts, so they don't need whips.
As long as it is profitable and can live a better life, who wants to be a bull?
According to the agreement, half of the shares in this workshop belong to the imperial court.
Weavers are only half.
After discussion, the female workers decided to take [-]% of it and distribute it equally to everyone. As for the remaining [-]%, according to the size of their contributions, they will be distributed to meritorious persons as appropriate.
After solving the problem of profit distribution, the enthusiasm of the big guys came up in an instant.
After working as a weaver for so many years, there are many ingenious people who can not only weave the best silk, but even play with the loom.
Therefore, a few weavers were selected and assigned to maintain the looms.
Among the remaining people, those with good character and skills were selected to be the team leader and responsible for leading the big guys to work.
After some arrangements, someone is responsible for almost everything, and everything is in order in an instant.
The so-called management is not difficult.
It's just that the next thing is troublesome. To make the workshop run, it needs raw materials, that is, raw silk. Buying raw silk requires money.
In the past, the big households paid the money, or they simply had the mulberry fields themselves, so they could get raw silk directly, and they just weaved silk.
Now that there is no money from the big family, what should I do?
Who can get raw silk for them?
After three days of worrying, the female worker finally thought of a solution that was not a solution. Didn’t half of the shares go to the court?
Can we borrow money from the imperial court, buy the raw silk first, and then return the money to the imperial court after selling the silk...
"It stands to reason that we shouldn't borrow money. If we borrow money and owe favors, we will never pay it back... But this time, Prime Minister Zhang has helped us so much, so we should never pay it back. Moreover, the court is not the old Zhang Shicheng. I sincerely hope that we will be well, and the big guys should change their minds."
After some discussion, Shen Rulan led three weavers to find Zhou Huiniang.
After all, it was a bit embarrassing for them to go directly to the Yamen and talk to those officials.
Fortunately, Zhou Huiniang was there, and the Guards Department continued to assist in punishing the criminals in the city, and did not return to Beijing... She couldn't help laughing when she heard the difficulties of the female workers.
"This is not a matter of course. This is also a business of the imperial court. It must not fail! Don't worry, Zhang Xiang actually encourages borrowing. When he was in Kaifeng, he advocated lending to village communes to help farmers restore their fields. Land. It is only natural to help you restore your workshop now."
Shen Rulan listened silently, nodded frequently, but said again: "Although that's the case, we can't just rely on the court after all. We borrowed money this time, and when we make money, we can continue to run the business ourselves. Pay more money to the court."
Zhou Huiniang laughed and said: "That's a good point. If we women want to be respected by others, we must show our real skills, be upright, and not rely on charity. When the workshop is in our hands, we must do better than others. The money is more than other workshops, and the silk weaves is sold all over the world and is famous all over the world! This is our true skill!"
Shen Rulan nodded quickly, and half a day later, they got a huge sum of [-] guan from the bank with an annual interest of [-]%!
Many years later, Shen Rulan still remembered the feeling of holding the money. She didn't go home all night, but stayed in the workshop with the three sisters. The big guy was holding the treasure in his arms, for fear of growing wings and flying away.
Without even blinking an eye, they set off for the country just after dawn.
It is worth mentioning that they, who have always been weak, even found a kitchen knife and carried it with them.
If anyone dares to grab money or do something, they will really die!
Anyway, we can't survive anymore, the big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken!
But things actually went smoothly, Zhou Huiniang is a careful person, and she also knows that it is difficult for women to come out to work, so she arranged staff to help Shen Rulan and the others go to Changping warehouse and buy a batch of raw silk.
With anxiety, I brought the raw silk back to the workshop, everyone's eyes are bright!
They have seen a lot of raw silk, and they play with it all day long, but today's raw silk belongs to them!
"Listen everyone, whether our workshop is dead or alive, it depends on this time... put in ten thousand effort, don't let it go to waste!"
At this time, Zhou Huiniang came again, and she cut straight to the point, "Tell everyone the good news. After a while, the people in charge of purchasing in the palace will come over... Whether it can become a good product for the queen depends on your ability!"
Chapter 538
The weavers like Shen Rulan couldn't help but be overjoyed when they got the news, they became royal objects, not to mention how many times their value has been multiplied, they can change their destiny, own their own loom workshops, and make decisions on their own, naturally relying on new In the elegant government, the emperor has meritorious deeds, and the prime minister is virtuous.
In any case, this batch of silk must be woven well to earn face and repay the kindness.
All the weavers were busy, working meticulously, and going all out to weave this batch of silk well.
Time flies, and almost half a month later, a new news came. A basin of ice water was poured on the heads of all the female workers, and their workshop qualifications might be revoked.
Even the workshop, where the weaver was in charge, became crumbling.
Someone even wrote an article in the newspaper, blatantly pointing out that silk weaving by women workers has only been done in the past ten years. Since Zhang Shicheng entered Suzhou, he has developed textiles in order to exploit the common people.
Ten years ago, even if there were women weaving silk, they would do so at home and never leave the house.
When a woman walks out of the room and has a lot of contact with people outside, she just doesn't love herself.
When I went down to the workshop and became a female worker, I even lost my face.
Those supervisors are hands-on, local rogues, and they are often involved. The so-called female workers are no different from the girls in the brothel.
How can the silk weaved by these dirty hands get on the table?
It's simply insulting and ruining the family tradition.
Those who have a little more face should take their daughter back as soon as possible, so as not to lose the virtue of their ancestors and become a laughing stock...
This article spread quickly, and within a short period of time, everyone in the workshop knew about it.
The whole morning, the big guys didn't work, just sat there and cried.
Tears filled their eyes, and they just felt wronged, so wronged from the bottom of their hearts, the article said that some foreman made a fuss, and even punished them physically with a whip. These things happen.
But to say that they are like brothel girls, this is too vicious!
The family can't survive, they can't eat, and in order to survive, they have to show their faces and go out to work... Sweat to earn money, and behind every coin is blood and tears.
With such hard-earned money, how could he become a prostitute in a brothel?
"I want to find this bastard who wrote the article, I, I will fight him!"
A weaver in his 20s was trembling with anger, gritted his teeth and said, he got up and was about to run outside.
Shen Rulan was startled, and hastily stretched out her hand to hug her.
"Do you know who wrote it? What are you doing out there? Can someone arrange us again?"
The weaver was full of grievances, and suddenly lay in Shen Rulan's arms, crying loudly, "Sister Shen, tell me, you said we want to do something, why is it so difficult?"
Shen Rulan's grief and indignation were even stronger, but since she took on the errand of the workshop, she couldn't do anything without restraint.
"Listen, everyone. I'm thinking that this matter is strange. It's impossible for Zhang Xiang to lie to us. The big guys must be stable first and not mess up. It's difficult to do things, and we are all prepared. This little thing can't break us .”
"You guys listen to me, let's continue weaving silk. The better we live, the more anxious those people will be, let them die in a hurry!"
Shen Rulan comforted the female workers, and after a long while, the big guys returned to work, and many of them didn't even eat lunch.
My stomach is full of grievances, and I was originally full of confidence, but suddenly, my whole life is bleak.
Could it be that they just had a dream, and all this is false?
Uneasy, people panic.
As time passed, Zhang Ximeng, who was in Yingtian, discussed military affairs with Zhu Yuanzhang for several days. Wang Baobao successfully killed Polo Timur and took over the power of the Yuan court.
Shanxi, Hebei, and the land of Yanyun, including Guanzhong, are all under Wang Baobao's control.If the development is allowed to continue, he gathers 30 people to defend the north, and if he wants to capture Dadu, the difficulty will increase exponentially.
Many generals in the DPRK advocated the immediate Northern Expedition and did not give Wang Baobao time to breathe.
After Zhang Ximeng returned to Yingtian, he came to a conclusion based on the information from all parties, and this conclusion coincided with Zhu Yuanzhang's.
"Although Polo Timur is dead, the Crown Prince Aiyou Shili Dala is still alive. The Yuan court's infighting is far from over. At this time, the Northern Expedition is helping Wang Baobao to seize power!"
The generals in the court were inexplicably surprised, the Yuan court has reached this point, do they still want to fight?
What's the difference between that and looking for death?
And the crown prince doesn't care about their Bo'erjijin clan's world at all?He was so anxious to change Jiang Shan's surname to Zhu?
No way?
Everyone was skeptical, but both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng made this judgment, and the officials couldn't say anything.However, as time passed, news gradually came from Dadu, which actually verified the judgment of Zhang Ximeng and Lao Zhu.
Wang Baobao took the risk to get rid of Polo Timur, and then the crown prince Aiyou Shili Dala hoped that Baobao could help him ascend the throne and abolish the immortal.
Wang Baobao was insane. His father, Chahan Timur, was hesitant and indecisive because of this stupid incident, and he left his old life in the Central Plains.
Up to now, let him repeat the same mistakes, it would be too muddy, right?
Moreover, even today, the Great Yuan Dynasty is united as one, and it is not the opponent of Ming Dynasty. If there is internal fighting, wouldn't it be digging holes for themselves?
Wang Baobao resolutely rejected the crown prince's suggestion.
He thought this matter was over, but how did Baobao know the danger of the matter, his father's old department did not completely listen to him, and the newly attached Polo Timur's old department was not willing to admit defeat.
Coupled with his young age and shallow foundation, before he could firmly hold the power, the crown prince was transferred in the middle, and the generals below joined forces, and there was a tendency to force the palace.
It's just that this time the national traitor they are clamoring to get rid of is not Polo Timur, but Wang Baobao!
In an instant, Baobao was caught in the biggest political tide of the Yuan court!
Faced with such a result, Daming Dynasty was already dumbfounded and speechless.
When a country goes downhill, someone needs to stand up and step on the gas pedal.
In today's Great Yuan Dynasty, after the crown prince stepped on the gas pedal violently, other people still felt that it was not enough, so they stood up and stepped on the gas pedal together.
Are these things really crazy?
How dare you rush to come here?
"Actually, the lord, Sheng Rui, has already seen clearly that the people in the Yuan court are not stupid. If Wang Baobao is allowed to take power in the court and wantonly rectify it, there will be bloodshed. But if we lose to us, maybe they are just prisoners of war. Battalion transformation. Therefore, it is even more important to prevent Baobao! Baobao is the number one mortal enemy, weighing the pros and cons, it is more appropriate to eradicate Baobao first."
"not to mention……"
Old Zhu smiled and asked, "Mister, let alone what?"
"What's more, the Great Song Dynasty lost Lin'an and fled to the south. They still fought endlessly and were wary of each other. Didn't the Great Yuan Dynasty still occupy most of the capital now? In comparison, there is still a lot of room for decline, so they will still do something. It's hard to guess what's going on, but it's guaranteed to be eye-opening and breathtaking!"
Lao Zhu nodded heavily, feeling relieved.
"In that case, we can follow the steps we envisioned and launch a northern expedition." After Lao Zhu finished speaking, his brows suddenly frowned again, and he had an extra copy of "The Female Ring" in his hand, which he slammed down on the table.
"Don't talk about others, our own affairs are so unbearable! What's going on with them? They misunderstood our meaning. How many ancient things are there in the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Academy? Do you have to prepare thousands of things? A bamboo pole, hang their heads on it?"
Lao Zhu got angry suddenly, but it was expected.
Some time ago, he made an order to revive the female precepts. Zhu Sheng took over this matter. According to reason, the old man Zhu Sheng thought it would be safe and nothing would happen. However, Zhu Sheng was in poor health and took a period of sick leave. The outline of the women's ring came out, which completely violated Zhu Yuanzhang's intention.
There are seven chapters in the Women's Precepts, and you can tell what it is just by looking at the title... Low and Weak, Couples, Respect and Caution, Women's Behavior, Concentration, Qu Cong, Uncle and Sister.
It's about admonishing women to be humble and weak, respect their husbands, respect their in-laws, and be kind to uncles and sisters-in-law.
Frankly speaking, the female ring was originally written by Ban Zhao in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so Zhu Yuanzhang just asked Zhu Sheng to rewrite it.
In the end, no one expected that such a thing could be compiled.
It just doesn't make sense!
"Look, sir, is there another way?"
Zhang Ximeng had already sensed Lao Zhu's murderous intent. If he had no choice, Lao Zhu would probably follow his way.
"My lord, let me go and find out about this first, see what's going on, and then come back and play the lord."
Zhang Ximeng said that the new female ring was stuffed in his sleeve, and he went to see Zhu Sheng.
