Chapter 46: The Ancient Peasant Girl 46
After the harvest, they packed the sweet potatoes and potatoes they had harvested into boxes full of straw and went back to the capital with the King of Han to report on their work.
Selangor Prefecture is some distance away from the Heng River, so they still have to take a few days in a carriage, sitting in a rickety and bumpy carriage, Chen Lin thought, after entering the capital and becoming a Beijing official, can they get some things out, such as cement, such as glass, such as salt.
Chen Lin thought about what she knew, anyway, she crossed by herself, and there were no constraints such as systems and tasks, so she didn't need to worry about the plot or historical development, she could promote the development of science and technology in this world according to her own mind.
In fact, she doesn't know much, no matter what it is, she only knows some fur, in her last life, she dropped out of high school before graduating because of a situation in her family, and her knowledge is only those in junior high school, as well as the information she looked up when she wrote novels later.
But she is not afraid, in fact, there are some times, she does not need to do everything herself, there are many smart people, Huaguo made the atomic bomb at the beginning of the Russians helped, but they actually started up, and later they were all developed by their own scientists.
It can be seen that the potential of people, she just needs to start with those craftsmen in this world, and believe that they can also make the physical objects she wants, well, she is not in a hurry anyway, and they can't make what she is anxious about.
For example, hair dryers such as sanitary napkins, there are alternatives to sanitary napkins, she made them, but they are too expensive to popularize, so you have to take your time.
A few days later, they changed to a boat, and arrived at a county near Yandu in five days, and then transferred to a carriage to Yandu, and when they arrived in Yandu, King Han and them were separated, and Su Chen took his family back to his home, where he only lived for a few days every year.
Fortunately, there were servants left behind at home, and before they came back, they had sent someone back to clean them, and they had sorted out the yards of the two children, although the sons and daughters still had a yard with them, but they should have been prepared.
Chen Zhen got married seven years ago, she was very smart, and after she found out that she had been seen through a long time ago, she no longer appeared in front of Chen Lin and Su Chen, and shrank in her yard, but she would occasionally go out for a walk, but she didn't expect to look at a guard in the house, and the guard's wife died in childbirth, leaving a child, and it just so happened that Chen Zhen couldn't give birth, so the two came together.
Chen Lin didn't embarrass her, as long as she hadn't acted yet, she wouldn't deal with her because of this, but she wouldn't have much care, after all, she had that thought.
After returning home to freshen up, he rested, and the next day Su Chen entered the palace to report on his work, and came back very late, only to know that he was called by the emperor to inquire about the coal, weapons smelting and sweet potatoes in Selangor, and everything was fine, so it was delayed until now.
Fortunately, these Su Chen were all involved by himself, and Chen Lin played an auxiliary effect in them, so he could say that the head was the Tao, and after that, his new appointment came down and became a third-grade squire, serving in the ministry.
At this time, Su Chen was only in his early 30s, it was when a man was in the prime of life, and Su Chen's achievements in the past few years had made many courtiers take a fancy to his talents, and they moved some thoughts, and inquired that this young Sanpin master actually had only one wife, not even a room, and his wife was born as a peasant girl, so he became more and more confident.
So, then many officials explicitly hinted that they wanted to marry the concubine of the family to him, but Su Chen naturally refused, saying that he already had a wife, and he had a deep relationship with his wife, and he didn't want a third person to intervene.
When he went home, he would mention this matter to Chen Lin, but Chen Lin just laughed, and Su Chen, who laughed, was annoyed: "You are not jealous at all?"
"I believe in you, so I'm not jealous. Chen Lin saw that he was angry, so he stepped forward and hugged him and said.
"Hmph. Su Chen was still dissatisfied.
"Well, it's still uncomfortable, but I'm glad I heard from you. Chen Lin told the truth, can she not be angry? Of course not, but Su Chen refused, what was she still angry about.
"That's pretty much it. Su Chen was satisfied, and then he rested with He Meimei, and then he continued to be busy, just took office, he was still busy with a lot of things, Chen Lin also began to plan for the future, those cement glass or something, don't worry, wait for Su Chen to stand firm, she has other things.
She was also registered in front of the emperor, but those ministers only saw her family background, and her own abilities were ignored.
In the final analysis, the status of women in ancient times was too low, and it was necessary to improve it, as for how to get it, Chen Lin also had some ideas, the so-called economic foundation determines the status, and it is still necessary to find a way to make women make money.
And the way for women to make money, in ancient times, the best is to establish a textile factory, but in fact, the textile factory is not so easy to establish, first of all, the problem of the machine, the current textile machine is not easy to operate, and the power is low, well, Chen Lin has studied some weaving in addition to learning embroidery over the years, so I understand some.
The second is the problem of raw materials, today's cloth raw materials are silk, cotton, hemp, in addition to hemp, silk and cotton are actually not much, it can be said that the production is limited from the raw materials.
If she wants to start from this aspect, she has to solve these problems first, but now there is a way, weaving cloth is not good, but knitting sweaters can be.
Although sweaters have long been popularized, the method has always been in the hands of Jinxiufang, resulting in the price of sweaters is actually not low, in fact, over the years, there have been a lot of accumulated wool, and Huang Yongxin also found someone to raise sheep.
With this idea, she wrote an invitation to invite Bai Shi to come over, she and Bai Shi have been friends for many years, knowing each other's temperament, she also directly said her purpose for doing this.
Sure enough, Bai was also very interested in the things she proposed to improve the status of women, and she did not reject Chen Lin's plan, and even if she promoted sweaters, she didn't have to worry about not making money, there were cheap ones and expensive ones, in addition to wool thread and cashmere thread.
So after listening to Chen Lin's plan, she also helped to correct some mistakes and omissions, and the two sides discussed and completed the plan.
As for the task of going back to persuade Huang Yongxin, it was naturally handed over to the Bai family, Su Chen knew Chen Lin's plan and did not stop it, he could accept Chen Lin, he knew that his concept was very different from that of men nowadays, and besides, in addition to Chen Lin being the person he liked, he did not ignore the help he had brought over the years, knowing what a smart, capable and courageous wife could bring.
He has two sons and a daughter, and naturally hopes that his son can marry a woman like his wife, and his daughter can be like his wife.
