It is generally believed that in ancient Chinese society, women were a group of people who "did not leave the door and did not go out of the second door", and their work was limited to the family. In fact, in addition to engaging in domestic work, women in ancient times also entered the society to seek careers. In China's feudal society, there are four main categories of occupations in which women are involved: agriculture, such as peasant women, silkworm women, weavers, tea pickers, etc.; Commercial, such as salt women, tea girls, wine shop proprietors, etc.; services such as wet nurses, maids, maids, prostitutes, washerwomen, etc.; Freelance professions such as matchmakers, medicine women, female artists, etc.

Despite this, the productivity and intelligence of women are still very limited. This period is similar to when Mao Taizu proposed that "women can hold up half the sky", too many Chinese men died in the national war, and the speed of national construction should be accelerated, give full play to the social responsibility of women and their own abilities, and the joint efforts of the whole people seem to be a natural choice.

But the times were different, Zhu Yongxing could not shout such radical slogans, and he also needed some means to get his courtiers to agree to his charter. In the eyes of the courtiers, the female department is Zhu Yongxing's intention to enrich the harem, and Zhu Yongxing also hopes that they will think so, what big feet, what age, is just a pretense, but in fact, it is to improve the status of women and expand the scope of women's occupations.

Starting with the ban on foot binding, to recruiting female guards, encouraging women to work, to opening women's departments, these efforts were carried out step by step and gradually. Enabling women to participate more broadly in social and economic activities and opening a window for them in political activities will undoubtedly lead to a greater increase in the social productivity of the whole people. Moreover, from the perspective of promoting the good and eliminating the disadvantages, there is indeed a lot of work, and women need to do it.

For example, female policemen and female jailers, Zhu Yongxing hated the destruction of women by the prison system in feudal society; For example, female teachers and nurses are also very important for the establishment of girls' schools in the future, and the establishment or expansion of the medical system in the military.

Jane Niang was a little absent-mindedly tidying up her clothes, and the cotton clothes filled with broken down and feathers were always not particularly clean, but this winter was able to support the past. Now, if you survive, you are already very lucky. But Zhen Niang's distraction was not because of this, but thinking about the notice just posted, about the female department.

In the factory, Zhenniang is literate and can settle accounts, and she no longer has to work hard, which is considered a "white-collar" level. In particular, the factory was built with a royal fund, and unlike those run by individual businesses, the treatment and reputation were satisfactory.

But Zhen Niang is still a little tempted by the female department, because according to the conditions on the notice, she is up to standard. Although she didn't believe it, there was really no restriction on being unmarried and childless.

"Mother, you said you were going to take her out to play." The child didn't know what her mother was thinking, and after she was well fed and clothed, and after she was over wandering, she was also recovering the child's activity and vitality.

"The day after tomorrow, my mother will have a holiday, take the two of us to play, and we will celebrate the New Year together." Zhen Niang doted on her daughter's little face, and suddenly felt that she was a little insatiable, and she was a little long. Now that life is already good, why take the risk to take any female exam?

In this tide of change, some people see opportunities, and some people are afraid of making the wrong choice, but no matter what, Zhen Niang has been changed in this tide of change, but Cheng Dù is different from others. (To be continued......)
