Chapter 659: Cambodia's New Plans
Tan Jing and Cheng Yiyi came out of the hospital after placing the child, and the following matters were left to Lin Chao and Ye Yan to deal with.
The news from the north has not been transmitted back, Han Wantao and Xu Lang are in the north, Tan Jing and Cheng Yiyi have their own concerns, and the two of them walked silently but no one spoke.
"Yiyi, how is the health of Lu Lao and Aunt He." Tan Jing was a little speechless, "Xu Lang is not at home now, and everyone in the family has to rely on you." ”
"The health of the two old men is okay, and the supplements you sent have not been broken for a day." Cheng Yiyi said as she walked, "But I see that Lu Lao is also worried every day for a while, although he doesn't show much, but I can also see that he has something on his mind, after all, the matter in the north is too important this time." ”
"yes." Tan Jing stopped and stared into the distance, "I don't know where Wan Tao is now, whether there is a fight in Xi'an." ”
Cheng Yiyi didn't answer, waited for a while and said, "Sister Tan, let's go back." Commander Han is also a general of a hundred battles, didn't Xia Yang also go to Luoyang, there will be nothing wrong. ”
"I hope so." The two of them began to walk slowly forward again, and Tan Jing said, "Yiyi, I suddenly have an idea, what do you think we should organize a women's literacy class in Yulin Bay." Organize the women of Yulin Bay to educate them so that they know their rights. ”
"I'm afraid it's not enough for us to decide on this matter, we have to go through the committee and the federation."
Cheng Yiyi did not answer Tan Jing's question positively, Cheng Yiyi knew that Tan Jing's starting point was good, and she also wanted to change some of the current problems in Yulin Bay. It has been ten years since the time traveled, not to mention the Ming Dynasty people in Yulin Bay, and even many people who have traveled through it have unconsciously accepted the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women in this era, and the work of the Women's Federation has not made any great progress.
But Cheng Yiyi is also hesitating whether Tan Jing's method can really work. Until 400 years later, the world is still a patriarchal world, and even if feminism has been on the rise since the Industrial Revolution, for various reasons, it has never been able to achieve true equality between men and women, and may never be able to do so.
Cheng Yiyi is more worried about whether this method of forced indoctrination will cause any other reactions. True equality between men and women should be based on a highly developed social economy, so that women have an equal economic basis with men, rather than a hard and fast rule. Although in many things, strong measures can play a role, but Cheng Yiyi believes that it is also necessary to change people's perceptions through specific examples, such as foot binding in the past and child abuse now.
Tan Jing didn't know what Cheng Yiyi was thinking, and she felt a little reasonable when she said this: "Yiyi, you're right, I'm afraid it's not enough for our Women's Federation alone." I thought about it again and came up with a detailed plan to present to the committee. ”
Li Fuqiang returned to Puliange, and Lin Zhaolong and He Chaoyong were waiting for him.
"Lao Li, do you have any new instructions at home when you go back to the meeting this time?" Lin Zhaolong asked.
"How could it not be." He Chaoyong smiled first, "You just look at the face of our military commander to know that the mission is coming, and this task is probably not easy to do." ”
"He Chaoyong, you're quite good at watching." Li Fuqiang laughed twice, "My family has given me a new mission, and our Second Army in Vietnam still needs to be expanded, and I have already brought back the new expansion plan." However, the old saying at home is that we will solve the problem of funding ourselves. Let me tell you first, before I came back, Wang Jian and Zheng Jiang smuggled me to me, hoping that the Vietnamese side could support my family's finances. Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao are afraid that their battle in the north will be a big fight, and if they can't get it, they will have to recruit tens of thousands of peasant troops, and their families will have no money. ”
"Alas, why did the family think of us as soon as they had no money." Lin Zhaolong sighed deliberately, "Don't they know that we are poorer than them?" ”
"It's useless to say this, you two sit, I have some ideas to talk to you about on the way back."
Li Fuqiang beckoned the two of them to sit down, and slowly talked about his plans, "When I was at home, I asked a circle of people, we can't just rely on trade in Vietnam and Cambodia now, we have to think of some other way." ”
"What's your solution?" Lin Zhaolong asked.
"Mining and farming." Li Fuqiang smiled, "Didn't I do business in Vietnam for a while in my last life, and I still know the situation in Southeast Asia better." ”
Cambodia is rich in mineral resources, especially gold, copper, sapphire, ruby and other mineral reserves. The rubies among them are very valuable both in Europe and in the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, Liang Chengdong also approached Li Fuqiang, hoping to carry out large-scale cotton planting in Vietnam. At present, the textile industry in Yulin Bay is thriving, in addition to Wu's textile factory, several private cotton mills have been opened one after another, but raw materials are now a headache.
Li Fuqiang had a long talk with Wang Jian, and the two agreed that those laborers who could not be resettled in the collective farms on Hainan Island could be sent to Vietnam and Cambodia, and a few mines and plantations could be built in Cambodia to settle them.
"We're already planting peppercorns now, and it's not impossible to grow a variety of cotton." Li Fuqiang finally said, "The first industrial revolution of the British started with the textile industry, and we can now copy their model." ”
"But we're here in Vietnam now, just the three of us." He Chaoyong asked, "We are also responsible for conscription, communication with Ruan Youyi, and North Vietnam, who still has the energy to do this." ”
"I've discussed this with my family." Li Fuqiang explained, "The family agreed to send a few more people to take charge of economic affairs, and at the same time, they also agreed that we should let go of the whole of South Vietnam and Cambodia and recruit Westerners, who can immigrate to the New World or Cambodia." ”
"There's one more thing." After Li Fuqiang finished talking about his plan, he said, "Liu Jun didn't go back to this meeting, and his family was very worried about the situation in Singapore, so he authorized me to go to Singapore to have a look." Let's make arrangements in the next few days, and I'll go to Singapore if there is no problem here. ”
"Lao Li, these things are easy to say." Lin Zhaolong suddenly looked a little worried, "What's going on in the north." Our original plan was to get rid of Li Zicheng this year, can this goal be achieved? ”
"I don't know about that." Li Fuqiang replied, "The military people in my family basically went to the north, and even Xia Yang went to Luoyang. But no one can say anything about the war, but I hope we can achieve the goal of destroying Li Zicheng. ”
