Mo Chou's body was naturally seen by the white crane, and he didn't really look at it carefully back then. It's not that you don't want to let go, but that you don't have a chance.

Mo Chou's shoes were the first time that Bai Minghe was looking at them so closely.

If you count by size, it should be about the size of a modern child's shoes. According to modern calculations, it is eighteen centimeters.

In the Ming Dynasty, women's feet will not be shown lightly to men, and some women will not let their men see their feet.

Mo Chou said again: "Speaking of feet, Qinghe's feet are because she was a military attache when she was a child, although she is a small military attaché, but her feet are not tightened, and because she has eaten a lawsuit, she is older than me, and we are all extremely poor." More than four inches are iron, four inches are silver, and three inches are gold. ”

When Mo Chou said that the three inches are gold, he refers to the three inches of golden lotus.

"The north is not tightly entangled, and the daughters of small families still have to work, and they dare not be entangled too tightly, and they don't work for a year to support a person for nothing, and ordinary people can't stand it. The tightest entanglement, one is the rich households in Shu, and the other is that Shanxi has become more and more powerful recently. The loosest winding, Liaodong is not counted, one is Shaanxi and Gansu, and the other is Guangdong. Of course, Jiangnan is not much entangled in the Yuan Dynasty! ”

(Note: The author really saw real foot binding when I was a child, three inches is too evil, but five or six inches really have)

Bai Minghe paid attention to Sun Yuanjun's feet, and his toes were a little deformed, which could already be said to be long and fixed. That is, the size of Mo Chou's feet, not as outrageous as three inches.

Mo Chou also told the white crane: "Recently, the trend of foot binding in the Jiangnan area is changing, and it is still tangled, but just to prevent it from growing into big feet, it is not so tight." Listening to Qinghe, it is because of the work of the workshop, and the little feet can't stand for long. Whether it is yarn spinning or weaving, it does not accept small feet, which makes the atmosphere change. ”

"So, what about those few?"

"The real Golden Lotus, they can't even walk, they need someone to carry them around. You can say that you let them go. If they don't starve to death, they will fall to death, and they can walk ten steps, even if they walk a lot. "Mo Chou's news is accurate, she has been to the sect in person.

Seeing that Bai Minghe didn't react, Mo Chou said even more ruthlessly.

"They had read some of the books, but they didn't know many words. can memorize a few obscene poems and songs, can't calligraphy and painting, can't be a female celebrity, and can't even wear clothes by himself. Let's talk about something that makes you feel uncomfortable, young master. At first, when no one cared about it, I couldn't even fix it myself, and my body was full of stench. Not to mention dealing with menstrual affairs by yourself, it's disgusting to death! ”

Bai Minghe was silent, this kind of rich daughter is really speechless.

"Leave them alive, wash them clean, and arrange for Yahuan to take care of them. It's nothing more than the value they still have! ”

"What is it worth?" The white name crane heart said. If you say so, they will all be on the same level as parasites. What is the value?

Mo Chou smiled sweetly: "That body is extremely beautiful, and the skin is well maintained." Keep the red pill and wait for the young master to pick it, and then with their background, they can earn at least ten years of silver, and that's it. ”

Bai Minghe ignored Mo Chou and took a cigar himself.

Mo Chou continued to tempt: "That soft." The young master will definitely like it! ”

"You go get busy first, and someone will bring pen and paper."

Mo Chou smiled evilly, but in his heart, he agreed more and more with Wan Xue'er's words. Shira-naka Crane is a very good person, and the last thing he wants to do is to bully the weak, and he is also extremely kind to women.

The pen and ink were delivered quickly. Bai Minghe got up and went to the desk, and after thinking for a moment, he picked up his pen and began to write.

Soon, two copies were written. When Wang Cheng came back when he wrote the third copy, he held the horse ticket in his hand, and spent two taels of silver, at least he didn't care much about winning or losing, he just found an excuse to go out and not disturb Bai Minghe and Mo Chou to talk.

After coming in, I saw that Bai Minghe was writing, and I stood aside and watched.

"My lord, add one more, ban!"

"Reasonable!" Bai Minghe added another one after it, and then sorted out the three copies: "These three copies, the order is to allow the workshop to recruit female workers, but there is an age limit, and those under 16 are not allowed to be recruited." Regardless of gender, less than thirteen are not allowed to be recruited. Then there is a decree for women workers, such as menstruation that is not compelled to do heavy work or other work that is restricted by the doctor. This third part is the rule of male and female workers in the workshop, as you just said, male workers who are not on official business are not allowed to take the initiative to talk to female workers. ”

Wang Cheng took it: "In fact, there is no such regulation, and many workshops have recruited many female craftsmen!" ”

Wang Cheng has investigated that some female workers are better than male workers, especially in yarn machines and looms, which are definitely the dominant types of work for female workers, and in copying, verification, especially polishing some fine objects, female workers have natural advantages.

This was sent to the Sixth Department of Nanjing, and after it was perfected, it began to be implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, and then it was written to the capital and considered being promoted in various provinces. To put it bluntly, I don't dare to say anything about the rules of foot binding, but I understand in my heart whether it is good or not. "The white crane explained his intentions very directly.

Wang Cheng nodded: "The women in our Dongchang factory will not bind their feet, and if they bind their feet, they will not kill." Those poor farmers don't bother much, how do they work with their little feet, and when they plant seedlings, do they sink deeper in the mud than others? ”

When Bai Minghe heard this, he laughed: "A good sentence is deep in the mud." ”

Bai Minghe also knew that most of the female dependents in the guards were not bound to their feet. And Queen Taizuma is also not bound feet, which makes the custom of binding feet in the Ming Dynasty have changed greatly compared with the Song Dynasty, but there are still many people who bind their feet in order to make their feet more beautiful. But it's not as outrageous as being wrapped up in three inches.

Bai Minghe also remembered that in Guanzhong, his own Bai clan, most of the women's feet were about five to six inches, and a few were seven inches.

Wang Cheng asked again: "So, how to deal with those people?" ”

"Give me some time, three days!" The white crane also needs to think about how to deal with it.

Wang Cheng nodded: "This matter always has to be done, and we can't let the sect leader break the rules, and after a long time, others won't be able to take care of it." ”

After speaking, Wang Cheng left with those written by Bai Minghe.

In terms of content, there is no insurance, labor insurance, pregnancy protection, etc.

The times have decided that nothing can be too advanced, just step by step. Just as the custom of foot-binding cannot be abolished immediately, there is always a process.

Historically, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, foot binding began to prevail, and there were different styles of foot binding throughout the country. Not only has the style, but also has a wealth of theories to know that each province has different differences. And in the Qing Dynasty, it reached a kind of extremely crazy Cheng dù.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was still a rich man who tied his feet. In the Qing Dynasty, both rich and poor would bind their feet.

If you want to find a scientific theory for foot binding, when the foot binder walks, the weight of the whole body is concentrated in the heel, and every step will affect the waist and hips, which will affect the pelvis over time, and the waist and hips will be developed, and the pelvis will become larger. The probability of dystocia has become smaller, which is also a reason why ancient medicine was not developed and dystocia was bound to die.

Of course, this is what the science says. There are also unscientific ones, which are nothing more than upward and downward effects, three obedience and four virtues, and the sick aesthetics of the scholar class.

Even a great writer like Su Dongpo once wrote: It is difficult to say that it is difficult to say that it must be seen from the palm of your hand",

There are even people who have formulated seven standards for the beauty of small feet: thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, and positive, and summed up the "seven beauties" of small feet: shape, quality, capital, god, fat, soft, and showy, which is really broad and profound, and it is ridiculous.

Bai Minghe didn't think about changing a qiē, whether it is Ming or modern, there is always a reason for the customs.

In fact, in the workshop in Nanjing, many young girls who were wiring and packing their jobs had already put the footwraps on their feet very loosely, and many women also experienced the disadvantages of walking with bound feet, but went home and put their daughters' footwraps relatively loosely.

At least some people have already understood, don't let the foot bones deform, if you can't work, you won't be able to earn money.

Mo Chou didn't know what secrecy was, and when he got out of Bai Minghe's door, he immediately sent his close cronies to the White Horse Pavilion. Although he nominally has nothing to do with the White Mansion to the outside world, of course, this is only to the outside world. Bai Fu still recognized Mo Chou's token, and her maid directly found Wan Xue'er.

After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, Wan Xue'er is still recuperating.

After hearing Mo Chou's words, Wan Xue'er also laughed, and asked the white fox to tell Sun Yuanjun the news again.

"The husband is still a very good person after all. But ......" When Sun Yuanjun said it, there was also a murderous intent in his eyes. The people of the Ming Dynasty, especially the nobles, did not understand the theory of life and death. Sun Yuanjun believed that if he and the other women were defeated and fell into the hands of the enemy, no one would be merciful to them.

Sun Yuanjun pulled the corner of his skirt, went out from the side door of the White Horse Pavilion, and arrived at a small courtyard.

There are people from Dongchang guarding this gate, in the name of the Haisi Yamen Accounting Department, in fact, few people here understand the accounts.

In the main room of the inner courtyard, an elegant middle-aged man in a cyan Confucian shirt was looking through the case files, next to him several scholars with only inches of hair were sorting out the case files, and a thin old man in a flower shirt was checking the case files that the scholars had sorted out, and then sent them to the elegant middle-aged man.

There was also an old man, sitting on the sidelines drinking tea.

"Brother Fu, the market in the courtyard is bullish, do you want to report this matter to the young master." It was Hu Xi who spoke, he thought that he was already a person who could not see the light, so he became a master of the white crane. And it was Bai Fu who was sitting there drinking tea, he was not looking after these people, but waiting for an information.

A story about the Li family's Goryeo side, the nobles asked the idlers to rob the Ming Dynasty of the annual rewards issued to those Goryeo.

The information has arrived, but it has not yet been sorted out, so Bai Fu is waiting here.

Bai Fu took it and said, "Mr. Hu, don't bother the young master with this kind of trivial matter." ”

"Originally, the middle and lower class buildings spent the night, and fifty dollars were about the same, but now the wild prostitutes cost 100 yuan. This matter is not conducive to the stability of Nanjing City. "Hu Zhi thinks that this matter is definitely not a trivial matter.

Bai Fu took out two cigars from his pocket and handed them to Hu Zhen: "Mr. Hu, Lao Fu has done this for you!" (To be continued......)
