Under Jingwen's arrangement, Ma Zhou immediately began to let the officials start a large-scale investigation. This survey will take into account the population, the proportion of the rich, and even the utilization rate of cultivated land, so as to help Ma Zhou be promoted in the future. And this time, Mengjin County was upgraded to become a state county, and the county order that benefited the most was Ma Zhou, of course, the premise is not to be picked peaches, so it's not fun. And Jingwen also helped Ma Zhou to improve all kinds of numbers as much as possible. And Jingwen also knows which of these things are important and which are secondary. Population and arable land utilization are the biggest priorities, which represent the productivity of ancient agriculture. Then there is the issue of employment rate, and Jingwen and Ma Zhou are also thinking about finding some jobs for those women who stay at home.

After Jingwen's understanding of this era, he also went through this period of investigation, and found that the low-level women in ancient times generally had few jobs. In ancient times, the low-level women could do a relatively high-level occupation, that is, to be a palace maid or female official in the palace. But these people who can be qualified to go are all women with good birth conditions, and ordinary women are not qualified. As for the queens and princesses, these are all through marriage to change status, and they cannot be regarded as professions. As for being an emperor, there is only one example of Wu Zetian for thousands of years, and there is no comparison.

As for the rest, they are either the maids of large families, but most of them are held by so-called "untouchables", who are not really the legal population. Most of the really ordinary rural women do some sewing and mending at home, and even do some housework. And this is a huge labor force, how can Jingwen, a black-hearted capitalist, let it go? With such a large idle labor force, Jingwen drooled directly when he looked at it. If these women can be allowed to come out to work, it can produce great economic benefits.

"Qing'er, Cui Ying, you said that if I mobilized some women to come out and do things. What do you think will happen? Jingwen asked.

As a result, these two beauties actually gave different answers.

"Husband, yes! If they all come out to do things, it can bring a lot of income to the family, wouldn't it be better to live in this way? Liu Qing said.

But Cui Ying said: "It's not good! Male protagonist outside female protagonist, this has always been a tradition. ”

"Sister Cui Ying, what a tradition! Aren't we also out doing things now? Liu Qing asked.

"This ......" Cui Ying had nothing to say.

At the beginning, Cui Ying didn't want to eat people's short mouths, so she took the initiative to ask to do things for Jingwen, and then she could exchange for living conditions. But now that this is the case, there is nothing to say. But. Cui Ying is still deeply influenced by traditional education, and she is very recognizable of the situation of the male protagonist and the female protagonist, so she obviously does not support women coming out to work.

However, Jingwen also found that since these two beauties did not oppose it from the beginning, it seems that there is still hope. After all, there were actually many women in the Tang Dynasty who came out to do things, and the Tang Dynasty did not have problems with thinking like after the Song Dynasty. Although there may be some abnormalities when women in the Tang Dynasty come out to work, it does not have much impact. So. Since it won't have much impact, why should Jingwen abandon these laborers? So, Jingwen has decided, that is, to do it.

"You say. How would you feel if I started a garment factory? Jingwen asked.

"Garment factory? What is this? Liu Qing asked.

Jingwen also said: "Ready-to-wear, in my interpretation, is to make good clothes according to a certain standard." Then, these clothes with a certain standard are taken out and sold. So that we can make a big profit. Most of our human figures are carved out of a mold, so as long as you study the size of these clothes. That's a good way to make the same standard of clothes out for sale. In the past, our clothes were mainly made by tailors one by one, or by their own wives, which was not only costly, but also very expensive in hand. If you want to talk about the material cost of this dress, I am afraid it only accounts for half of the price of the clothes, and the other half or even more is to be given to the tailor. And if you let your wife do it, it's just making zuò clothes for your family, not a large-scale tsuò. I thought that if we could make clothes on a large scale, the cost of clothes would be reduced, so that more and more people could wear better quality clothes. ”

"Moreover, those women who have nothing to do at home for a while can also get a certain income, isn't it better? You know, most of the women don't have any land, they don't actually have any additional income, so we can use it to subsidize the family! In this way, out of thin air can bring great wealth, who doesn't do it! Jingwen said.

"Huh? That's a good thing, but how can we make sure that if we invite those women to come, the cost of making the zuò clothes will be reduced? Liu Qing asked.

Liu Qing got to the point, if you can't ensure that the cost of large-scale production of zuò clothes is reduced by hand, then it is not interesting to sell it! This reduction, and it must be greatly reduced, so that you can ensure your own profits. If production is still done in the past, it will be very slow, and the production capacity of a single worker is limited. Therefore, we must think of ways to reduce costs, and if we can't reduce costs, then I'm afraid it won't be interesting.

"Actually, this is very simple, you should know how we produce firearms in the Divine Machine Army? Isn't it the method of the Qin Dynasty, that is, the assembly line! If we can implement the assembly line method here, then we can produce clothes in large quantities, so that we can reduce costs? You should know that ready-to-wear is according to a certain standard, and since the standard is fixed, then there is no problem. At that time, everyone only needs to be responsible for their own work, and they don't have to do too much, and finally someone will put the whole garment together, so that it will become a ready-to-wear garment. Isn't this a great reduction in production costs, that is, manual costs? Originally, one person can be used as ten people, but we only need to pay one person's salary, do you say this is a profit or a loss? Jingwen asked.

"Husband, you are really a genius, you actually thought of this method!" Liu Qing said. (To be continued......)
