Chapter 207: One Heaven, One Hell

Cui Xiuxiu hurriedly explained that according to what she knew, if the weaving speed of a female worker was usually comparable to seven or eight female workers in the past. Although the market is scarce now, it does not mean that all ordinary peasant women in the world can be converted into female textile workers. After all, the production efficiency has improved, and there is no need for so many female workers, so Chen Fei's proposal is obviously not good. If we want to convert these peasant women who have lost their income into female textile workers, only some of them can be converted, and the vast majority of them will face unemployment.

And in ancient times, there were not many jobs that could be adapted to women. In addition to weaving, that is, as a maid. Other jobs are also manual labor, and women cannot do them. The social division of labor in ancient times was not as precise as in later generations, and the vast majority of work in ancient times was manual work, and women were rarely able to do it. So if Chen Fei cuts off the weaving work of these women, then I am afraid that these women will really cut off their source of income. When the time comes, they will either work as maids for the rich and noble, or they will have no work at all. But where did the rich and noble families use so many maids, so in the end it was necessary to return to the question of female textile workers. After all, in ancient times, women could do it, that is, textile workers.

"No, even if it is to make female workers unemployed, I will still promote this shuttle and show machine. We must not give up the progress of the entire era because we are afraid that the people will lose their jobs. I know that even any process of change is going to be very painful. What can I do with this change in productivity? Since there is no way to avoid labor pain, it is just a matter of time or time. If we are afraid of this pain, then in the end we will not be able to progress at all. Therefore, I am firm that this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine must be promoted. As for the weaving of those rural housewives in the future, I will also think of a solution. They will inevitably lose their jobs, but all I can do is find a way. Anyway, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Can we give up a brighter future for the sake of momentary suffering? Chen Fei said.

Cui Xiuxiu said helplessly: "It is said that our big family is ruthless enough, but I found that our big family is simply kind compared to you." ”

Cui Xiuxiu is really convinced of Chen Fei's "ruthlessness", Chen Fei would rather let the traditional small-scale peasant economy collapse and let countless housewives lose their sources of income, but also complete the goal of social change that Chen Fei has in mind. This is much more ruthless than those big families, and the big families will not cut off the source of livelihood of a certain group, at most they will just bully a certain poor people, and will not completely cut off the source of income of a certain class. But Chen Fei is also ruthless enough, in order to achieve his goal of reforming society. It is tolerable that these peasant women have lost the benefits of male farming and female weaving.

"Okay, Chen joins the army, think about it carefully! I listen to you in this matter, and if you still insist on your opinion after two days, then I can follow your opinion. This is related to the livelihood of the people in the world, don't take it lightly! Cui Xiuxiu said.

Cui Xiuxiu was also scared, because if this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine were really promoted, the consequence would be that countless women would be unemployed. The result of this was too ruthless, and Cui Xiuxiu couldn't accept it. So she also hopes that Chen Fei can seriously consider it. The consequences of this are not acceptable.

"Ma Zhou, you said that if you have to endure pain for the sake of a great future, do you say you should bear it?" Chen Fei asked.

Ma Zhou didn't know what Chen Fei was talking about. Immediately took it for granted: "Of course, if there is a great attraction, then even if it is to bear the pain for a while, then it should be." ”

But Chen Fei continued: "What if you want a generation to suffer this pain? Other words. Our generation suffers while our children enjoy better conditions, do you think we should do that? ”

"That should too. Shouldn't parents think about their children? Ma Zhou said.

Chen Fei was still hesitating, because he knew that once this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine were adopted, China's destiny and future would go in another direction. Because of the increase in productivity, the economic model of male farming and female weaving has completely collapsed, and the small peasant economy has gradually disappeared, and the whole country will inevitably gradually enter industrialization. And this process will certainly have great pain, and countless farmers and women will face the crisis of unemployment. At that time, because of the increase in productivity, the saturation of the entire domestic market demand will be caused, which will eventually cause a large number of goods to be unable to consume. With the increase in production and automation, the manpower required will also be greatly reduced, so who knows if it will make countless people unemployed.

"There has never been a moment when I felt so heavy. With just one thought, I can change the history of China. Chen Fei sighed in his heart.

Others may not know the impact of promoting this shuttle and Xiuxiu machine, but Chen Fei deeply understands the importance of this. Once you've made a choice, it's enough to affect changes for decades to come. This is almost an abyss, because Chen Fei is actually maturing the domestic capital economy. Chen Fei actually used his historical insights to mature before the commodity economy arrived, and the risk of doing so was also very huge. If done well, China can enter the era of commodity economy more than a thousand years ahead of schedule, and China will be able to sweep the world.

But if it fails, the whole country will collapse decades ahead of schedule, and it will even face chaos again. It's a choice between heaven and hell. Chen Fei didn't know what to choose, once the giant beast of capital was released in advance, there was really no turning back.

"Chen joins the army, as long as you want to do it, you can do it with confidence, and I, Ma Zhou, will definitely follow you. And, if you say you're going to suffer, why can't we pass it on to someone else? Ma Zhou suddenly said a whimsical word.

"Oh, yes! Dead friends don't die poor, why should we bear it ourselves? Chen Fei was suddenly surprised.

Chen Fei thought about it, since he had to bear the pain, why did he have to bear the pain himself? In fact, the pain of this kind of social change can be passed on to other countries and nations! (To be continued......)
