What is the concept of a monthly income of tens of taels?

A seven-pin Zhengtang county order, the monthly salary is only about twenty taels per month, plus this kind of subsidy and high-salary pension, the total is not more than thirty-five taels.

In other words, the monthly salary of an ordinary weaver girl has been comparable to, or even exceeded, a county order.

This makes people, how can it be embarrassing?

As a result, a huge network of interests was created.

If the people have a weaver girl of appropriate age, they need to obtain the consent of the husband first (skip to the next step directly if they are not engaged), and then report to the clan for consent, which is screened again, and then apply to the local government in exchange for a permission to delay the age of marriage, in order to avoid being matched by the official (if you do not marry when you reach the marriageable age, the government can directly designate a marriage match for the woman, which is for the official match), so that after a screening, finally, the county government issued a bill, and then reported to the state government, only with the consent of the state government, the woman can really be legally employed by the weaving department, so, Another sieve.

These sieves made the Weaver Girl's originally generous salary folded in half, folded in half, and folded in half.

If you get it, it will only be 30% of the total amount at most, and if you have already been engaged, you have to take some more from this 30% salary to block the mouth of the husband's family.

Xia Huiji said in his speech, "Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders", "Hundreds of thousands of weaver girls in Jiangnan work day and night, miserable, meager salary, and live like years", as well as "lifelong events, the life of parents, and the words of matchmakers...... "Bullshit", "The government's inaction, and even participation in persecution, caused countless unmarried women to have to comb themselves to escape", etc., although exaggerated, but basically true.

It's just that Xia Huiji obviously doesn't know that the situation of the Weaver Girl in Taiping Mansion and the surrounding areas does not exist under the rule of the General's Mansion, due to the underdevelopment of transportation and the fact that women can't go out at will after all, which has led to the slowness of the news, Xia Huiji doesn't even know that the women under the General's Mansion have already held up half the sky.

But there is one problem that coexists, that is, "those who are all over the world are not silkworm breeders", which has been the case since ancient times, and there is no dispute.

The reason why Wu Zheng's brows are getting tighter and tighter is not because of justice in his heart, let alone because this matter has led the weaving department in, but because Xia Huiji is telling the truth.

Truth be told, it hurts the most.

Wu Zheng never believes that Wu Xiaomei will be involved in this matter, not to mention that Wu Xiaomei is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, and righteous in her heart, but also that with the wealth and power in Wu Xiaomei's hands now, there is no need to use this dirty way to collect money, besides, it is still a "small wealth" that can almost be ignored.

Wu Zheng's biggest headache is that Xia Huiji finally "threatened" herself, if Wu Zheng can't solve this matter, she will call on the Weaver Girls of Taiping Mansion to strike and use "self-combing" to fight against the injustice.

Looking at the serious Xia Huiji, Wu Zheng did have a headache.

Wu Zheng does not want to solve or alleviate this contradiction, in fact, Wu Zheng, who has the memory of later generations, wants to let the people under his rule have enough food and clothing, which is beyond doubt.

But the problem is that the emergence and resolution of contradictions are like two sides of a sword, and if you hurt others, you will hurt yourself.

The people involved, whether they are victims or persecutors, are all the people, that is to say, this contradiction cannot be defined as a contradiction between the enemy and ourselves, but an internal contradiction, so it cannot be swept away once and for all with thunder.

In this way, it will take unlimited energy and time to resolve the contradictions, which is what Wu Zheng lacks the most and is the most undesirable at present.

The above is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that Wu Zheng, whether as the king of Wu or as a general, cannot meddle in the political affairs of the Taiping Mansion, which is directly subordinate to the imperial court.

Therefore, Xia Huiji's "general" directly forced Wu Zheng into a corner.

Wu Zheng reluctantly said in a voice that was as gentle as possible and not so as not to intimidate Xia Huiji: "This matter ...... It's too complicated, you're a woman, or don't care as well. ”

Xia Huiji glared and said, "I'm the Junjun!" ”

"It's true that you are the prince of the county, but this is just a title, not an official position......." Wu Zheng shook his head helplessly.

"My brother is the Duke of Wei Guo and the young master!"

Wu Zheng frowned, then let go and persuaded: "You are cheating on your brother...... This matter involves a wide range of issues, and it affects the whole body, and now the most important thing is the Northern Expedition...... If something uncontrollable arises because of this incident, then ...... The consequences are unimaginable. The lesser of two evils, you are a smart person and should understand. ”

Xia Huiji didn't listen to persuasion, she insisted: "If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside!" ”

These words came from the excerpt of Zhao Pu, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, to Song Taizong, and the original words were, "...... China is at peace, and the crowd is self-serving. If the deceased husband wants to go outside, he must first settle inside. ”

But when Wu Zheng heard this, he had a subconscious sense of rejection, and he said in a deep voice: "Compared with being humiliated and abused by foreign races, the harm to the people is light, and it can even be said that the victim is only the Weaver Girl of Taiping Mansion...... If the king intervenes in this matter, it will inevitably lead to confrontation and contradictions with the imperial court, the prefectures and counties under the imperial court, and the old bureaucratic system in these prefectures and counties. ”

Wu Zheng is indeed bitter, in his opinion, the Weaver Girl of Taiping Mansion has indeed been persecuted, but it is still as far as endangering her livelihood, that is, she can slow down, and when the Northern Expedition is successful, it is not too late to resolve the contradictions between various classes.

If this incident causes a greater contradiction at this time, it is unwise, and at the same time, it really intensifies the contradiction, then it is likely that the Weaving Division will not be able to enter the Taiping Mansion, then the Weaver Girl will be unemployed and the harm will be greater.

But Xia Huiji obviously didn't appreciate it, she said angrily: "If you are an official and don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes, that's what you said...... Knowing that the people are suffering and ignoring them is a corpse vegetarian meal...... If this matter cannot be treated fairly, I will lead the students of the Taiping Mansion and various states and counties to write to the imperial court! ”

Wu Zheng was not only a little annoyed, but shouted in a deep voice: "Presumptuous...... You, a woman who has been in the beginning, dare to speak in vain about state affairs before this king? It seems that your brother is so indulgent to you that you dare to be so rude! ”

Xia Huiji was also startled by this roar, and suddenly changed her face, her eyes were red, her mouth was deflated, and she wanted to cry, "You will murder me?!" ”

Wu Zheng roared out, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, even if he was irritable in his heart, what was he trying to do with a girl?

It stands to reason that Xia Huiji's testimony is not false, that is, it should be meritorious and faultless.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng hurriedly changed his good face and reassured: "It's not that I don't want to be the master of the Weaver Girl of the Taiping Mansion, in fact, under the rule of the Great General's Mansion, there is no such dirty thing as the Taiping Mansion...... Your brother thought that he already knew about this matter, but he did not intervene, perhaps because he was concerned about my face, but more importantly, he also understood that this matter was too broad and could not ......be changed overnight. ”
