The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Most of the first batch of people who ate crabs made a fortune, especially those who were more discerning and took the low-interest loans provided by the bank to purchase a batch of goods. When they arrived in Africa, the goods were sold, except for some African locals. In addition, they directly exchanged for a large tract of land with the natives, and started the hard work of reclamation.

With the first batch, the second batch and the third batch came one after another. In Africa, people are mainly thinking about the gold mines, diamonds, ivory and other things there, and think that the indigenous people there are all those Silly and fast characters can get a lot of wealth with the price of cabbage.Those who immigrated to the past were more grouped. After buying the land, they raised funds to buy tractors and began to cultivate wasteland. The land there is not barren. Otherwise, how can they support such rich products? Although it is relatively short of water, but Over the years, the imperial court has introduced so many food crops, and naturally many of them are suitable for planting in Africa, not to mention that the place where they bought land is close to the port. After they settle down, the fleets from all over will naturally come from them. Gradually, more and more immigrants were obtained there to obtain various supplies. Except for those who were devoted to farming, many simply started business near the port, and a bustling port city was formed there in a true sense.

There are limited places in Africa where people can immigrate temporarily, but there are still places in Nanyang. There are many people from the Central Plains there, and there are policy guidance from the imperial court. There is no need for too much effort, and there are speculators People used to buy property and buy large tracts of land, mainly to grow various cash crops, such as sugar cane, rubber, cocoa and so on.There are also Europeans colonizing there at the moment, but most of them are not large-scale, and many of them are desperadoes. Naturally, they are not as good as the Han people who have the backing of the Jin Dynasty.The aborigines over there were also afraid of being beaten. After all, that was originally the radiating range of the Central Plains. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were fleets from the Central Plains. Now the Dajin has let go of its hands and feet, and immigrants can Applying for guns and ammunition, plus the fact that the immigrants are more united, even if the natives wanted to make some bad ideas, they were repulsed by the muskets.

The imperial court has obtained great benefits in such offshore development, and some sites originally built by the Chinese also requested to be attached. After all, they have few local people and weak power, and many of them are doing business without cost, such as occupying They bought some small islands in the sea, robbed merchant ships and so on, and fought with each other. Now that there are more and more ocean-going fleets in Dajin, and their force is relatively strong, they can't grab them at all. Surrendering to the Great Jin, the imperial court naturally accepted it, recruited them directly, entered the establishment of the ocean convoy, and even gave them a license for ocean plundering in private, and they could rob some fleets that were not protected by the Great Jin. Helping them sell the stolen goods, of course, the profit will have to be reduced by half, but this way of life is much better than before, at least my future children will not have to bear the reputation of pirates.

So many years of nearly logical reforms have brought about earth-shaking changes in the Great Jin Dynasty. There are not many old ministers in the court, and they are replaced by a younger generation of ministers who are more vigorous, open-minded, and more pioneering. They and their families have been following closely. Acting behind Tu Jingnian, they have already benefited greatly from such reforms, and now they are also the group that most maintains Tu Jingnian's rule.

Tu Jingnian is now over 30 years old, but because he has always been more comfortable, in addition to being more calm, he still looks young and strong, and the prince Tu Ruixi has also reached the age of marrying a wife and having children.

Amin has done a good job these years. When he was ten years old, Tu Jingnian had already started to train him to participate in some political affairs. Although his methods are still a bit young and not smooth enough, he has gradually matured.

Tu Jingnian has always taught and maintained Amin hand in hand. Although he now has seven sons and five daughters, Amin's status has not been shaken. The emperor made public his plan. When the sons other than the crown prince reached adulthood, they would seal the foreign lands to other sons, and let them be the lords of the country. It was the adoptive mother who received the care of her own country.Although some people think that the outside world is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, boys are born with that kind of adventurous and pioneering spirit. The sons are very excited about this, and they run to look at the world map from time to time, wondering where they will be sealed in the future.

He Yu was not satisfied because of this, because of the lack of favor and sincere love for her children these years, her temperament became more and more weird. After knowing that Tu Jingnian intended to choose a crown princess for A Ming, she frequently summoned girls of her natal family's age. Jing Nian has almost had enough of He Yu's short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness now, so he naturally doesn't want A Ming to do the same in the future, so he plans to choose a prince concubine for A Ming who is from a real family background, well-educated and has a long-term vision. The He family is obviously not His ideal choice.

Although the He family is still the Cheng'en government these years, the problem is that the queen is not favored. Before He Sixian made such a incident, Tu Jingnian didn't intend to use the He family anymore.

Amin and Ayang are not close to the He family, the outer family, and the He family has some problems with their vision. It stands to reason that there is a queen in the family, and the grandson is still the prince, and the other grandson is quite favored in the palace, even if he is not reused. , but there must be some inside information!Tu Jingnian made a few shots, all of which were very generous. The clan and the Su family followed in Tu Jingnian's footsteps. Even if they couldn't eat large pieces of meat, the broth could at least keep them full, or even fill them up.It's not that the He family has no capital. After organizing a fleet to go out to sea, they accidentally encountered wind and waves and suffered heavy losses. It is very extravagant, after all, they have no other goals now, just wait for the old man in the family to die, the one who inherits the noble, the one who divides the family property, and waits until the crown prince takes over, relying on being the crown prince's uncle or cousin or something , mixed up with an official job or something.It's no wonder that you can make progress if you don't think about making progress like this. Therefore, these years are almost worse than each year.

Seeing that the queen can't do anything, she thought that when the queen was still the princess, the He family was still quite beautiful. The former emperor and the saint valued the original wife very much, and the prince should be no exception. Therefore, he started to play the princess idea.

He Yu also had the same idea. She thought, her mother's family is now Cheng Engong, who is much stronger than her back then, so why can't she be a princess!After knowing that Tu Jingnian had given Tu Ruixi a certain degree of autonomy in marriage, that is, he could choose his future wife within the range of selected girls, He Yu frequently called his niece, and also asked her to marry her. Rui Xi went over.

Tu Ruixi is actually disgusted by this. In future generations, he is in the second year of middle school. Tu Jingnian has been trying his best to cultivate his independence and autonomy, and he does not want his son to only be a A conservative master should have some pioneering and enterprising spirit. Tu Ruixi is used to making decisions by herself, and she was even more disappointed when she saw that the queen mother was so impatient to intervene in her own marriage. The two so-called cousins ​​showed some face, and then they simply did not pretend to talk.

Since Tu Jingnian came to power, the status of women has actually been greatly improved. In the final analysis, it is still a matter of economic foundation. Because of their particularity, many factories do not need too much physical strength, but need carefulness and patience, especially textile factories. What's more, many housewives already have a foundation in this area. Therefore, when many factories recruit workers, they often give priority to recruiting women. Later, they have given priority to recruiting literate women. Beginning in the south of the Yangtze River, some literacy classes seem to have sprung up overnight. This kind of literacy class is divided into two classes for men and women, and the fees are very low. About five hundred can handle most things. Therefore, even many small households are willing to send their girls to a literacy class for about one or two years, and then they can enter the factory after turning back. How can there be two or three silver dollars a month, and even skilled female workers who have seven or eight dozen or so are not a problem, and ordinary male workers may not be comparable to them!With a certain financial capacity, women's right to speak in the family has naturally been greatly improved.

The same is true for small families and small families, and the same is true for big families. The education of girls in big families is more refined. These girls are well-educated. Naturally, it is impossible to be willing to be the same as before, living the kind of life where you can only stay at home with your husband and children.They originally had some property on hand, as their dowry private house, whether in the boudoir or after they got married, their social circles had a certain level, and gradually, they were unwilling to be lonely, and made a lot of achievements. Because Wang Xifeng held the economic power , can tell Jia Lian to lie low in front of him and be a small boy, and other people are naturally similar.Therefore, these women have certain rights whether they are in their natal family or their husband's family, instead of just relying on the favor of their husbands and the support of their sons.Therefore, the rules these girls now need to abide by have been greatly reduced. There are even fewer rules such as men and women having different seats at the age of seven, and rules such as not being allowed to meet outside men casually.

The He family's daughter is naturally similar. With He Yu's arrangement, after meeting Tu Ruixi a few times, she inevitably behaved a little out of the ordinary in order to express her ladylike thoughts.Tu Ruixi was very disgusted by this, and when she became annoyed, she couldn't help saying a few shameless words, which made the two girls cry out of anger.Although Tu Ruixi regretted it a little, but as the prince, even if he said something wrong, he couldn't admit it directly, and walked away without hesitation.

He Yu also hated his son Ruixi for not giving him face. Not long after, he did something stupid.
