() The surprises don't stop there.

Anne kept her promise and awarded the glass-maker a hundred copper coins, and held an award ceremony in the square under the clear spring view.

Thousands of women workers and their families were thrilled and envious when they saw the rough hands of the woman who was over forty years old and had rough hands receiving a basket of copper coins from Anne.

That's a hundred yuan, and if you put it in an ordinary person's house, you may not be able to save so much money in your lifetime.

But that female worker, just because she accidentally made a new product while working, got such a huge reward.

Tsk, the Spiegel is as generous and generous as rumored!

The mountains of copper coins have greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of female workers and their families. It also attracts many famous craftsmen in the world.

In these years, the status of craftsmen is really not high.

With inventions and creations, the imperial court only gave verbal rewards, and even if there were rewards, they were pitiful. A generous bonus like Anne is definitely the first time in the world.

Anne seemed to have been prepared, and after the award, she said in public that Qingquanguan attaches great importance to scientific innovation, even if she is not a female worker in the workshop under her name, as long as there is an innovative process, Qingquanguan will buy it with a lot of money.

Of course, women in the workshop are given priority awards!

As soon as the news spread, countless craftsmen were moved.

Over the next few months, Anne paid one "bonus" after another.

Of course, the harvest is also full.

From artisans, women workers or their families, she received new techniques for making soap, tools to improve cotton weaving techniques: seed-churning, springing the cotton vertebral arch, three-spindle pedal spinning wheels, and the latest bobbin carts......

Anne almost drummed up almost all the things that the original owner "invented and created", and also put them into use on a large scale.

The business under the command of Qingquanguan is even more popular, and the name of Qingquanguan is even more resounding in the north and south of the river.

Soon, there were merchants with ulterior motives who secretly hired women to work at the Qingquan Temple, or bribed the female workers of the workshop with a lot of money to steal the skills of the Qingquanguan workshop.

Anne had already noticed those small movements, but she did not stop them.

The workshop found out that a female worker had "betrayed" and sued Anne, who did not punish her.

She even said in front of all the female workers: "I am not afraid of being stolen from others." In fact, I even hope that more businessmen will adopt the latest skills of my Qingquan Temple and open more workshops like the Qingquan Temple, preferably in every corner of the Great Xia Dynasty!"

"Because only when there are more workshops, more women can get jobs. "Textiles are naturally a woman's domain.

"And only when more women can make money, women's status can be improved, women can support themselves without marrying and children, and there will be fewer drowning and abandoned baby girls in the world!"

Anne's words brought tears to the eyes of the female workers, and even more embarrassed the female workers who had been bribed with a lot of money.

The Spiegel gave them a good job, taught them the art of starving for the rest of their lives, gave them a place in the family, and let their daughters not have to follow their old paths, they were not grateful, but they still betrayed!

Is this something that a man can do?

Several female workers knelt in front of Anne, confessed heartbreakingly, and cursed and swore that they would be loyal to the Clear Spring and the Spiegel for the rest of their lives.

They even volunteered to hand over the silver ingots that the merchants had given them.

Annie:......

She didn't say the opposite, but she really thought so.

She was not short of money, and she didn't count on those businesses at all.

Therefore, she is really not afraid of technology transmission, in order to improve the status of women, in order to change the world little by little, she even wants to pay out of her own pocket to invite those businessmen to open similar workshops!

However, people's hearts are complex after all, and they are only moved for a while.

After a long time, no matter how much emotion you have, it will be shattered by reality.

Within a few months, the technology of the Qingquanguan Workshop was still passed on.

Miao Shan, who was in charge of the cotton textile workshop, was so angry that he wiped his tears, and even scolded the female workers who left for being white-eyed wolves.

Anne comforted her with a smile, and turned her head to release the news: Qingquan Guan Cotton Textile Workshop is going to hold a technology auction, as long as the price can be afforded, the most advanced ginning, elastic cotton and spinning technology can be bought.

Moreover, Anne also specially ordered someone to spread the news to the various counties of Great Xia.

Three months later, businessmen from all over the country rushed to Qingquan Town.

Anne chose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and in the square under the clear spring, she held another huge auction.

This auction is not only about the techniques of the cotton textile workshop, but also about the processes of making soap and glass.

Anne sold each technology to three or five merchants, and all of them fetched sky-high prices.

With this technical auction alone, Anne received copper coins comparable to the annual revenue of the state treasury.

The momentum of the auction was so great that even the saints of Taiji Palace had heard about it.

However, after all, it was just a businessman, and the saints and courtiers didn't take it seriously, so it was a gossip to hear.

Besides, the second mother of the An family has a pure heart, and she has done a lot of good deeds in the past two years.

Giving porridge and medicine, relieving widows and loneliness, adopting abandoned babies, running schools for free, and sending a steady stream of female soldiers for the women's army, the eldest princess is full of praise for her, and there is a loyal Annan Hou, the saint will naturally not embarrass her because of a little money.

An auction ended perfectly, and soon, large and small cotton textile and wool textile workshops sprung up all over the country.

And these workshops all learn from the Qingquan view, and only recruit female workers.

Women have jobs and stable high incomes, and they don't see any huge changes for a while.

But imperceptibly, the status of women is slowly improving.

It's summer harvest time again, and the farmers are racing against time to finish harvesting the crops in the fields.

As soon as it was dried and put into the granary, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and it rained heavily.

From the saints to the old farmers, sitting under the eaves and looking at the torrential rain, they couldn't help but rejoice: fortunately, they moved fast enough to take back all the grain, otherwise, after this heavy rain, the crops in the field would have been destroyed.

But it didn't take long for everyone to rejoice, and they began to worry.

Because the heavy rain lasted for three days, it did not mean to stop at all.

Just when the saints and courtiers were worried about the embankment, the bad news finally came: because of successive heavy rains, a certain section of the Yellow River embankment burst, and the flood spread to several counties.

A certain disaster-stricken county town is only 100 miles away from the capital.

The saint hurriedly dispatched officials to the disaster area.

It has only been more than 20 years since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the officialdom is still relatively clear, and the officials are all doers.

Under the rush and hard work of officials and government soldiers, the collapsed river embankment was blocked.

Half a month later, the flood finally receded completely.

However, after the great plague, there will be a great plague, and as soon as the flood waters in the disaster area receded, there was another epidemic......
