I was a gentleman in ancient times

Wu Xing thought he heard it wrong, and confirmed again: "Are you right? Fourth aunt, fourth aunt is going to work in the workshop?"

Seeing Fourth Uncle Wu nodding seriously, Wu Xing was almost dumbfounded. "I've never heard that women are allowed to go to the workshop, or maybe Fourth Aunt heard the wrong news?"

"There's nothing wrong." Fourth Uncle Wu sighed, "It's like this. A few days ago, she went to the river to pick waterweed, and then she met women who also went to pick waterweed, and heard them talk about it. So I became interested, and made a special trip to the county to inquire, and only after I got the exact information did I make a decision."

Wu Xing and his wife glanced at each other, Wu Xing didn't know what to say, but Wu Wang asked curiously: "What kind of definite news is that? It can make Fourth Aunt so tempted that she wants to go no matter what?"

Fourth Uncle Wu frowned and said slowly, it turned out that Fourth Aunt Wu had heard people say by the river that a large workshop had been built ten miles to the south and was recruiting workers.

Fourth Aunt Wu was doing her own thing, but she didn't take it seriously at first, and the recruitment was not related to them.However, several people asked a few words through words, and they got to the point while chatting.It turned out that the government's recruitment notice not only recruited male workers, but also recruited female workers.

Now, everyone became curious, maybe they were just looking for their happiness?Let women go to work, how can there be such a thing?But seeing the man's swearing, everyone couldn't help asking why.

"Why should I lie to you?" The old woman who spread the news said confidently, "I have a sister-in-law from my mother's family who is from the city. I heard from her that a widow next door to her house really went to work in the workshop." .”

In the midst of sobs, she said mysteriously: "The widow dragged her three children and had no pillars in her family. Her life was miserable. That is, there was no tomorrow. However, she entered the workshop and saw the days unexpectedly It’s getting better. I heard that she does some hands and feet work in the workshop, and it’s not very hard. Not only does she take care of the food in the workshop every day, but she also pays her salary at the end of each month. The money supports her three children. There is still room for children.”

"Really?" Someone was itching, is there really such a good thing?

"Why am I lying to you?" The old woman patted the corner of her clothes, "My natal sister-in-law's family can see clearly. All the women in her family, as long as they meet the conditions, will go to the workshop to report Named. Now my natal sister-in-law is also trying to get her natal family to get a spot for her."

"I still have to meet the conditions? I don't know what the conditions are?" someone asked.

"There is nothing unusual about the conditions, as long as you have healthy limbs, hands and feet, and work hard. It doesn't matter if you are married or not, you can be up to the age of 38." The old woman said.

She sighed and shook her head, "Unfortunately, at my age, their workshop doesn't want me anymore, otherwise I would have signed up too."

Someone hesitated and asked: "Then the woman from her natal family really went? Then the men of their family don't care about it? Aren't women afraid of being laughed at when they go out to work in the workshop?"

Although women nowadays don't stay at home, they have never seen anyone working together with men in public.Although peasant women don't pay much attention to these things, they occasionally go to work with their men when they are busy.But it's not the same as mixing with other people. If something happens, it will be ashamed and thrown home.

"Bah! What's the joke? They work separately for men and women. Women arrange a special workshop where they eat and live together. The managers are all women, and outsiders are never allowed to enter." The old woman clicked her tongue. "It's safe and the conditions are good inside. They are rewarded for doing well, and they can also take vacations and so on. Think about it, earning money to supplement the family is not much better than being at home with a husband and a child? In short, If you miss this village, there will be no store, and now many people go there.”

Fourth Aunt Wu was taken aback when she heard this, and after she came back, she thought about it for a while, thinking that seeing is believing is believing, so she made up her mind to go to the city to inquire.

So after inquiring about it, Fourth Aunt Wu became more thoughtful.My family has just arrived in Qin State, and their foothold is not stable. All food and food depend on the wasteland reclaimed by my husband.If she can work in a workshop to subsidize her family, the conditions of her family will definitely be much better.

Thinking of this, she told Fourth Uncle Wu.Fourth Uncle Wu heard that it was naturally impossible. Wouldn't he be too useless to let his daughter-in-law go out to work to earn money?

Uncle Wu disagreed, and Aunt Wu made a fuss. It was the first time the two quarreled because of their disagreement.

No, Fourth Uncle Wu, depressed, came to complain to his nephew.

After hearing this, Wu Xing didn't know what to say, so he could only persuade Fourth Uncle Wu, "Aunt Fourth is also thinking about this family, so talk to her carefully and don't quarrel."

Fourth Uncle Wu nodded, "I came here to trouble my niece and daughter-in-law to persuade your fourth aunt. You two have always talked about everything, and she can listen to it. Although we are poor, we can't stay poor forever. I really don't need her." do these."

"That's no problem." Wu Xing nodded, agreeing on behalf of his wife.The two of them came here for the first time, and the fourth uncle could only think of the couple.The fourth aunt has always listened to the opinions of her daughter-in-law, and it is best for the daughter-in-law to persuade her.

After Wu Sishu left, Wu Xing looked at Wu Wangshi, but saw that she didn't know what she was thinking.But he didn't care, and told his daughter-in-law to persuade his fourth aunt.

Wu Wangshi came back to his senses and nodded in response.Even if she didn't explain, she was going to go there, not knowing what was going on in that workshop.

Wu Xing didn't know, so he asked his daughter-in-law to persuade his fourth aunt to give up the idea of ​​working in the workshop.Unexpectedly, when he came back from the field at night, he heard that his daughter-in-law was going to the workshop with his fourth aunt.

Wu Xing and Wu Sishu hurriedly got together to discuss, but faced with their daughter-in-law's unreasonableness, they could only choose to give in.Wu Xing was expressionless, and announced the result of the discussion between the two, "Anyway, my fourth uncle and I will go to inquire first, and we will agree if we think there is no problem. If it is not like what we said, it is best to give up this idea."

Fourth Aunt Wu had inquired about it alone, and she was not afraid, "Okay, let you inquire. I have gone to so many people in the city, so I don't believe there will be any tricks to deceive people. He can deceive one or two people, and he can also deceive people." Hundreds of people? But you have to hurry up, or you will really miss it, and I will never end with you."

The two split up, one went to the workshop, and the other went to the county town to inquire.Wu Xing just arrived in the city, looking around in a daze, not knowing where to start.He was tired and thirsty, and was looking for a place to rest, when he heard a group of people chatting together, talking about the workshop.

Wu Xing was overjoyed, so he sat down and listened attentively.

"Brother Liu, are you really going to work in that workshop?" Someone asked.

"Yeah, I'll sign up early tomorrow morning." Brother Liu nodded and admitted.

"I heard that after going there, it's difficult to go home once in ten days and a half months, so you just leave your sister-in-law at home, aren't you afraid she will complain?" Someone teased.

Brother Liu waved his hand, "I'll go with my wife."

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect the couple to go together, hehe, it's just right, and they also have a companion.

"Isn't that because you and your sister-in-law are both in the workshop, but you can't meet?"

"Yeah, but what's the point? Isn't it possible to take a vacation every ten days and a half months? When the time comes to go home together on vacation, isn't it better than a newlywed? Hahaha."

Everyone laughed, but Brother Li didn't take it seriously, just smiled and didn't speak.

Someone asked again: "Brother Li, didn't you agree with sister-in-law to go to the workshop before? Why did you change your mind and bring yourself in together?"

Brother Li shook his head, he was narrow-minded before.But the real reason was that a distant cousin of his was working in the yamen and quietly revealed a piece of news to him.It is said that the workshop is not simple, but it is presided over by Lord Xiangguo of Qin State, and even the king fully supports it.Not to mention other things, the benefits in the workshop alone can make people envious.Now that the workshop is still short of manpower, go in quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to get in if you want to, and you will regret it when the time comes.

At first he was dubious, until he inquired about the people who went in, most of them were similar to what his distant cousin said.He also believed it, regardless of whether Mr. Xiangguo was behind the scenes, the benefits were exciting.

It happened that his daughter-in-law also listened to someone's instigation and wanted to enter the workshop, so he made a decision and went together.

After hearing this, Wu Xing felt relieved, and after inquiring around in the city, it was exactly as the fourth aunt said, and he knew it well.It seems that it is not against common sense to let the daughter-in-law go to work?

Tao Jin's footsteps have been brisk these days.He learned a lot from his husband, and, in his opinion, the manpower problem that was difficult to solve, Mr. Wei solved it directly when he came.

Isn't there not enough manpower?Mr. Wei directly allowed women to work and earn money.In the armament workshop, Wei Su designed the assembly line workmanship.That is to say, everyone's workmanship is different, and some links are relatively easy, and even women can fully complete them.

He still remembered Wei Su smilingly saying to him: "Women can also hold up half the sky, they are not accessories tied to men at home. They are also human beings, why can't women come out to work?"

As a result, various rumors gradually spread in the city, such as the daughter-in-law of a certain family went to work in a workshop, and after one month, she finally had money to treat her mother-in-law.Or a certain widow went to the workshop in desperation.Now, in a short period of time, he used the salary and rewards he earned to buy a house and land, and even recruited a young man. The couple entered the workshop to work together. It would take a few years for the hut to be replaced by a house.

Wait, wait, too many to enumerate.

Tao Jin knew in her heart that these were all non-existent things, and it could be said that whether they were well-made or not, all depended on one's mouth.The problem is that the rumors are being passed around, and the people really believe them.Coupled with the deceptive words that women can also be the masters of the house and so on, many big girls and young daughters-in-law will boldly put forward their own ideas after returning home.

As it turns out, this works pretty well.With the first one entering the equipment workshop, there will be the second and the third.

Of course, the rumors are not completely false, at least the benefits and benefits inside are true.

The stewards in today's workshop sent up the roster to register the number of new applicants.He was beaming with joy. Today's roster has reached a new high. It won't be long before the armament workshops don't have to worry about not having enough manpower.

After the servant reported to Wei Su, Tao Jin went in and unexpectedly saw Xie Zhuo.These days, Wei Su is in charge of the affairs of the armament workshop, while Xie Zhuo is busy arranging the affairs of Suicheng.The two are busy with each other and haven't seen each other for a long time.

As soon as Tao Jin entered the door, Xie Zhuo's eyes fell on him non-stop, wanting to say something intimate, but Wei Su was in the way, and finally the corners of his lips twitched but he still didn't say it.

Wei Su looked at him with a smile, "Is there any happy event today?"

Tao Jin looked away from Xie Zhuo, and presented the booklet in his hand, "Sir, in the past two days, the number of people who signed up to work has increased a lot. Let's do a short-term training, and the workshop can officially start production."

Wei Su took the booklet, flipped through it casually, and was very satisfied, the situation was better than he expected.He ordered: "You must pay attention to the rules and regulations, and you must not be negligent in the slightest. There is no rule without rules, and there is a reward and punishment system, which must be implemented from the beginning."

Tao Jin quickly agreed, keeping Wei Su's words in mind.

After explaining these trifles, Tao Jin asked, "I heard that General Zhongli has already started his journey and is coming to Shu County?"

Zhong Lihui won a complete victory in the battle against the Rong and Yi, and even cleared out the frontier garrisons, and now the frontier garrisons have taken on a completely new look.Hand over the frontier garrison to Chief Qin, and he will be at ease with him stationed on the border.As long as Rong Yi dare not violate the border, they can free up their hands to do other things, such as Suicheng planned by Wei Su.

The purpose of Wei Su's capture of Suicheng was the copper mine. With this large mineral, the Qin army would not have to worry about weapons.Everyone understands this truth, so when Wei Su proposed it, with the King's support, no one objected.

When the army returned to the court, Qin Zhan publicly announced the appointment of Zhong Lihui as the top general of Qin.And a ceremony will be held today to pay homage to the general.This was a matter of course. Although Zhong Lihui was not from the Qin State, he had settled the frontiers for the Qin State when he first came to the Qin State. No one in the court could deny this credit.So when Qin Zhan was appointed, all the ministers had no objection, and congratulated King Qin for being such a good general, and he will definitely kill the Quartet in the future.

After the ceremony was completed, Zhong Lihui was ordered to set off for Shu.

The news was quickly sent to Shu, and Tao Jin also learned the news.Because he was not sure, he thought it would be better to ask Mr. himself.

Wei Su nodded after hearing what he said, and joked, "I just received the news, and it has already reached your ears. You are quite well informed about the news here."

Tao Jin glanced at Xie Zhuo, the news was given to him by Xie Zhuo, he thought everyone knew about it, but he just found out about it.

Tao Jin was a little apprehensive, and pleaded guilty: "I really don't know about this, please forgive me sir."

Wei Su waved his hands and smiled, "What's your crime? This news, which is known to the public, is not considered a leak. You are too cautious in everything. It would be great if Xie Zhuo could have half of you."

Although he knew that the husband was just joking, Tao Jin couldn't help but glance at Xie Zhuo again.

Xie Zhuo took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said with a smile: "Sir, this cannot be compared. I and A Jin have our own strengths, otherwise, how can I put people on the top of my heart?"

Tao Jin's face turned red when she heard the words, why is this bastard talking nonsense in front of her husband?really... really...

"Okay, okay." Wei Su waved his hand, "I know you miss people, and I'm not unreasonable, you two go down, don't be an eyesore to me."

Just finished talking about business, Xie Zhuo is still patiently not leaving, isn't it just to wait for Tao Jin?Don't think that his small thoughts can be hidden from others.

Before Tao Jin could say anything, Xie Zhuo had already stood up happily and pulled him up to bid farewell to Wei Su.They haven't seen each other for so long, and they have a lot to say to Ah Jin, so they won't stay any longer.

Wei Su looked at the backs of the two and smiled helplessly, and then thought of himself, but now he couldn't laugh.Qin Zhan sent a private letter before, asking him why he left him alone, and there were accusations between the lines.Wei Su didn't know how to reply to the letter, so he simply ignored it.

However, even if you ignore him now, you will always see Qin Zhan in the future, and you won't be able to escape by then, right?

Thinking of this, his head throbbed in pain, alas!I just hope that after a long time, Qin Zhan can calm down and think about it.
