I became emperor in the Tang Dynasty by relying on the palace fighting system

Qingluan gave this idiot named [Xiao Lin] some scientific knowledge: "To make a small jar of rouge, you need the raw material - roses."

"Youzhou is the Beijing of later times, and this Zhuangzi is actually located in Miaofeng Mountain."

Some old Beijingers in the barrage were excited.

【Give a bad name】: Oh oh oh!! Miaofeng Mountain, one of the three major rose producing areas in China!

[I love eating eggplant buns]: In my impression, the rose cakes here are the best. We always put them on display when we worship our ancestors at home!

Qingluan said: "In addition to several thousand acres of fertile land, the manor also has two thousand acres of roses planted."

"Two thousand acres of roses, with an annual yield of 40 to 50 kilograms per acre, require manpower to take care of the flowers and trees. If men go to farm and women go to weave, who will take care of the flowers and trees?"

Someone in the barrage immediately thought of the scene they had just seen.

[Did you go to bed early today]: It’s those young ladies!

Qingluan laughed and said, "Bingo! It's those young ladies and gentlemen."

Qingluan switched the camera to the workshop, and when Li Zhao walked in, the first thing he saw was the rows of shelves and bamboo winnowing baskets at the door, as well as the whole bright red rose in the winnowing basket.

In the side rooms, a group of young ladies about seven or eight years old were busy separating rose petals and stigmata, their movements were extremely quick.

Some of the older ladies were busy washing the flower petals or drying the flower petals.

The older girls were responsible for more delicate work. They used stone mills to grind the glutinous rice that had been fermented for a month to make the base powder for makeup.

There were also many women in another line, looking at the burning honeycomb coal under the small ceramic distillation device and the steam rising from the distillation pot.

Li Zhao and others could vaguely smell a faint, warm rose scent.

Li Zhao turned her head, and Qingluan's invisible camera followed her, presenting the most real side of the workshop to the audience and fans in the live broadcast room.

There is also a production line in the workshop, where women with scarves wrapped around their heads beat roses with white marble mortars and pestles to extract bright red rose juice.

Li Zhao asked the chief farmer beside him, "Are you making rouge and powder? How many women and men are there in the workshop?"

The chief agricultural officer smiled and bowed, "Yes, Xuanzun, I am making rouge. There are three or four hundred ladies and gentlemen in the workshop."

She explained, "Because roses only bloom for a few days, if they are not handled in time, their fragrance will dissipate. There is a shortage of manpower on the farm, so I specially ordered my subordinates to hire some people from other villages early."

Li Zhao only asked her, "How much are the hired workers and the people in the farm paid?"

The Minister of Agriculture had memorized all these things long ago. She said, "There are many machines on the farm, so the harvest is fast. The summer harvest in the neighboring village is not that fast, so I made it clear when I hired people. Each person's wages are in silk, which can be exchanged for rice. They work four hours a day, and the wages are paid once a day."

The Minister of Agriculture said, "In the past, men were paid three feet of fine silk a day, and women were paid one and a half feet of fine silk a day, but the Star God of the Li Dynasty ordered that during the busy farming season, men and women should receive the same pay for the same work, so it has been changed now."

Li Chao added: "Each person can get three feet of high-quality silk and a couple can work. In the past, they could get one dou and one liter and two and a half liters of rice. Now they can get one dou and a half liters of rice."

"Each person in the mortal world needs to eat at least two liters of rice a day. This amount of rice is enough for a family of seven to eat for a day, sister."

"Well, well done." Li Zhao nodded. This was indeed the case with the people's wages during Li Zhi's time.

According to the history of the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties by Professor Lu Simian, "In a family of seven, not all members need to be able to work. If the income of one man is equal to the law, and his wife takes half, the total income is more than one dou and one sheng, and the young and the strong share equally, it is not enough for a day's food. What's more, they cannot work every day?"

"Such is the nature of temporary employment. Therefore, those who are employed by others cannot escape poverty in the end."

It can be seen that the working life of the people in ancient times was very hard and they were exhausted and could not even get enough food and clothing.

She insisted on equal pay for equal work between men and women so that her family could have enough food and clothing. She really has a conscience.

Li Zhao and Qingluan high-fived each other in their hearts.

Li Zhao went to another workshop and asked as he walked, "No one dares to adulterate the rice, right?"

The chief agricultural officer patted his chest and assured, "Who dares? I guarantee that they will break two bones in their legs first."

"The Star Lord has issued an order to formulate the rules for the manor's servants. If anyone dares to cheat, they will be beaten half to death. If anyone dares to take bribes or pervert the law, they will be executed immediately without mercy. All the male members of their family will be castrated and become eunuchs. We, the ministers, will never dare to do such a sin."

Li Zhao listened to the voices of the people around him and felt excitement, gratitude, and all kinds of other emotions.

Girl A: Ahhh! Xuanzun is looking at me! I have to work twice as hard!

Langjun B: Xuanzun is so compassionate that he cares so much about whether we ordinary people can live~ Woohoo X﹏X

Woman C: I am so lucky to be born in the Tang Dynasty where the true God descended...Xuan Zun ah ah ah! Xuan Zun is looking at me! !

Various voices flooded into Li Zhao's sea of ​​consciousness like a tide. She heard many kinds of voices, but the only thing she did not hear was the people's resentment towards the manager of the village.

I used the [Sky Eye] skill to go back in time, but didn't find any signs of corruption, which is good.

Li Zhao and Qingluan nodded at the same time.

Li Zhao praised: "Very good, keep it up, I will reward you later."

The Minister of Agriculture was so happy that his face was beaming with joy: "I thank you for your grace, Master Xuan!"

The audience and fans in the barrage finally understood Li Zhao’s good intentions.

[Destiny Nüwa]: I understand! Cosmetics are not important. What is important is the industry chain that produces cosmetics. It can provide a large number of jobs for women and liberate them from the family!

[Dan Jin]: To make a small jar of rouge, you need to plant roses, process roses, and make rouge powder, all of which require a lot of labor!

[Your grandma, here I come]: The machines previously researched by the host are gradually being popularized, and people are finally freed from the heavy farm work. They can now work to supplement their family income and provide labor!

[Poem changed thousands of times]: Women can also earn money to exchange for rice. The economic base determines the superstructure, and the status of women will also be improved!

[Punish evil and promote castration]: So, makeup saves women and saves women's rights, that's what it means!

【V子消消乐】: Ah, this...

[Kobayashi]: Ah, this...

[Destiny Girl]: What do these two black guys want to do by showing up?! Kneel down and beg the anchor for forgiveness?!

[History Kid]: Kneel down quickly, your face is swollen from being hit by the anchor, right? Brainless diode!

The barrage bombarded [V子消消乐] and [小林] repeatedly, and the latter finally couldn't stand it anymore.

[V子消消乐] (very quietly): I’m sorry, I was wrong.

[Kobayashi]: I’m sorry…

[Nuwa of Destiny] (picking her ears): I didn’t hear you, speak louder!

[V-Zi Candy Crush] (loudly): I’m sorry!!! I was wrong!! I’m stupid!

[Xiao Lin]: I’m sorry >people<, I’m too stupid, I don’t have the vision and pattern of a host!!

As the barrage of comments flashed by, rows of kneeling expressions appeared, and Li Zhao suddenly felt as refreshed as if he had drunk a large glass of Mixue Bingcheng coffee in the dog days of summer.

Li Zhao snorted: "It's good to know, you can go away now, Brother Ai Nan, a diode, is a diode without a brain."

She turned and went to another yard.

There were many middle-aged women in this large yard. They were wearing blue tie-dyed headscarves and sitting in front of bamboo winnowing baskets, kneading lumps of reddish-brown stuff.

Li Zhao then asked the fans in the live broadcast room: "So, besides making cosmetics, what other economic benefits can roses provide?"

"Do you know? Welcome to speak up in the comments section or paragraph review."
