What did you all do during the Ming Dynasty?

In the face of Song Ren's inquiry, although Luo Erzhu didn't know why the other party wanted to ask these things, he still answered this question in line with the principle of honestly answering and not provoking the other party.

"When the villain was in the Ming Dynasty, he was a tenant for the landlord's family."

Tenants, that is, peasants.

Having made a note of this, the young man who had been sent to investigate continued to ask: "In other words, in the Ming Dynasty, he was a peasant?" ”

Luo Erzhu nodded.

"So do you have any craft?"

Luo Erzhu shook his head, indicating that he had no skills.

Regarding Luo Erzhu's response, in fact, this young man from the Song Empire was not surprised.

After all, learning a craft in this day and age is not an easy task.

Even if you are a carpenter, you will not casually hand over your craft to outsiders, and basically pass it on to your son or relatives if you want to pass it on.

People like Luo Erzhu are basically farmers from their ancestors, so they are also farmers in his generation.

Even his descendants can't get out of this category.

Unless there is green smoke on his ancestral grave and a talent appears, otherwise they will not be able to change their fate.

And Luo Erzhu's family obviously has no son, only a daughter.

Then, it is impossible to get fame or something.

It is only here in the Song Empire that there is a Lanxiang Technical School that specializes in teaching some low-level crafts, and will give the people some skills to make a living.

"If you were given a chance, would you rather learn to be a blacksmith or a carpenter?"

The young Song man's words made Luo Erzhu a little stunned.

What?

Does that mean I can learn a trade?

This really shocked Luo Erzhu.

"You don't have to look at me like that, we have some special academies here. Teach some relatively simple crafts and techniques for ordinary people to learn. After all, if you have one more craft, you can survive with multiple costs, right? “

The young man saw Luo Erzhu's shocked and incredulous look, and he knew that he didn't believe his words. I explained it a little.

"After learning this bit of craftsmanship, it is impossible to make a lot of money. Because on our side, there are many people who have such skills and skills. It's just that if you continue to farm or do things for some farms in the future, there is such a craft that is always better, and you can earn more wages. “

This young man is right, although the empire teaches some crafts here, but it is not possible to make a lot of money with these crafts.

A large part of the people living in the empire were people with some skills.

At the beginning, Lanxiang Technical School was opened, and it has been until now. But he trained a lot of small craftsmen and craftsmen.

After these people graduated, only a small number of them opened their own carpenter shops or blacksmith shops, and most of the graduates went to work on farms.

And the farmers give very good salaries, after all, hire such people to do things, if some of the equipment on the farm is damaged, you don't have to take it outside to repair it, these people can repair it themselves.

This is a very convenient thing.

"I want to learn carpentry."

Luo Erzhu hurriedly said.

The young Song man nodded, and his companions beside him recorded Luo Erzhu's decision.

"Tomorrow a teacher will come and teach them some carpenter's knowledge. So what does your family have in mind for the future? It's just that you're doing it alone. It's still a bit hard to live here in the Empire. ”

The words of the young Song people are already a bit pretentious.

For Europeans who are new to Manhattan, no one will warn them.

Although the living water quality of the Song Empire was very high. Prices are low.

However, with the passage of time, the prices of the Song Empire have begun to slowly rise.

In the beginning, a family of five worked outside the home. You can keep the family fed and clothed.

But now, with the price of goods slowly rising, a person's salary for work has to do this. It is already clearly not enough.

After all, with the development and construction of the empire, all kinds of goods began to appear in the shops. Although the prices of these goods are not very high, you can't stand the wide variety.

Those who have lived in the empire for more than a year have basically been assimilated and changed by the empire.

Three meals a day, plus a supper, not to mention, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and various seasonings needed at home are indispensable.

In this way, it is obviously not enough for one person to earn money to support his family.

They don't seem to live in their original homeland, and although they don't make much money, they don't have a lot of goods that they can buy.

Where is it like the Song Empire, all kinds of goods are in the store, it is really dazzling.

Especially when your neighbors have them at home, you can't help but buy them.

People are afraid of such comparisons.

Once compared, it will cost money.

Rice, meat, salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken bouillon, light soy sauce, soy sauce, and even soy sauce, which specializes in seafood, are also available. With a wide variety of these goods, people simply can't resist the urge to buy.

Add in the variety of vegetables in the wet market, how can you not spend money.

It can be said that the living materials here in the Song Empire are unique and abundant in the whole world of this era.

Even in the Ming Dynasty, you can't see such abundant living materials.

This is not only about food, but also about housing, transportation, clothing, and all kinds of daily necessities and snacks.

There are even a lot of alcohol.

Do the math, which one doesn't cost money.

Therefore, even if the price is low, it cannot stand the cost.

Besides, prices are slowly rising a bit.

Listening to the young Song people's explanation, Luo Erzhu's brain was already a little insufficient.

Seriously, he never imagined that the living environment of the Song Empire was like this.

"I'll give you a suggestion, you'd better think about it this month. We'll have a training class where your wife and daughter can go and learn as well. This training course mainly trains domestic service skills, and after one month of graduation, those who excel in their studies will be given priority in hiring......"

on this. Luo Erzhu really needs to think about it.

Because in the concept of the Ming people, it is best to show up less for their own women and daughters.

Otherwise, wouldn't it attract rumors in the future?

As if Luo Erzhu had such concerns, the young Song man smiled and said to Luo Erzhu: "Don't be careful, if your wife and daughter have excellent academic performance, they will also be the hostess." A lot of women on our side are working outside the home, and there is a shortage of people at home......"

Oh, it turned out to be a young lady who took care of a big family.

When Luo Erzhu heard this, the resistance in his heart eased a lot.

If what the other person says is true. That's a good thing.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was also a good errand to be a maid for the daughter of a large family.

Not to mention the amount of money every month, there are also a lot of rewards occasionally.

If you have the trust of the young lady, it will be a good way out in the future.

It's just that Luo Erzhu didn't know what he said was that the employer that the young man was talking about was definitely not a young lady. is not a woman from a big family, but a real strong woman of imperial Chinese descent.

Unlike the women of the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese genetic girls of the Song Empire. Everyone has a decent job, or is a farmer on a farm himself, the so-called landlord's wife.

What's more, it also has its own shop and trade. It's like an authentic strong woman.

Of course, it's more about working in the government.

However, these Chinese genetic girls of the empire have one thing in common.

That's their respective homes. It's a bit of a hassle.

Because they are single, and they are wholeheartedly devoted to their careers, so things at home are a mess.

But. They were reluctant to hire Indian and European maids, so the matter dragged on.

Well, now that there are immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, this matter can be solved.

After all, compared to Indian girls and European girls, Daming girls will not have any problems in communication.

What's more, the girls of the Ming Dynasty are much more honest and obedient than the European and Indian girls.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Shan thinks that he can let them learn housekeeping skills, and then let those single Chinese genetic girls hire them to help take care of the affairs of the family.

What's more, this also solves the work of the group of women in the Ming people.

It's a two-pronged thing.

At this time, Luo Erzhu was excited.

Seriously, if his own women and daughters could also make money, then he would be much less stressed.

And being a maid of a big family is also a very decent thing.

At that time, when the girl is older, it will be easy to find her in-laws.

Without it, there are many rules in large families, and their daughters will definitely learn a lot of rules and gain a lot of knowledge.

This is very popular for his daughter.

Besides, in the future, my daughter will get married, and the young lady will give a lot of dowry.

Inside and out, it's definitely a very cost-effective thing.

"Learn! Learn! My daughter must learn, and my mother-in-law will also learn! “

After Luo Erzhu thought about it, he was busy nodding and agreeing, for fear that the other party would regret it.

He continued to make a note that the family had to learn housekeeping skills.

The reason why I want to make this record is also to keep it for a good statistic, and when the time comes, I know how many teachers I will invite.

"You'll be glad you chose."

The young Song man smiled at Luo Erzhu, then left the front of Luo Erzhu's house and walked to the second house. (To be continued......)
