Although Alfonso made sense, the two of them were still a little difficult to accept for a while.

It's a change of mindset, and it's not that easy.

In this era, women not only did not have the right to vote, but they also did not have the right to property after marriage (except for high-class women), and they were socially regarded as appendages of their husbands.

Corresponding to low rights, they do not have to bear any obligations.

In Europe, only Britain and France have gone farther, and women are widely used in textile, leather, metalworking and other industries.

In other countries, including Spain, the female workforce has been completely neglected.

"Britain and France have done this, Britain and France, the top powers, we just follow their example, there will be no problem." Seeing that the two were still silent, Alfonso persuaded him bitterly.

After hesitating for a while, Fidel hesitated and said, "But it will cause many people to oppose it, especially the nobles. Some people may say, will say..."

"They will say that you are the king of women, and they like to use this method to slander people." Campos added.

Fidel nodded vigorously, this is what he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say.

Seeing that these two not only did not respond to him as before, but also secretly threatened, Alfonso could see the attitude of the two of them, and even the entire aristocratic class.

The capitalists can have more cheap labor, and the commoners can earn more bread, and they will not have much opposition.

The only trouble was with the aristocracy, who valued honor and tradition, and in their opinion, didn't letting the women of their country into the factories be tantamount to saying that they were useless?

Alfonso had a headache and let women into all walks of life, and he had been thinking about it for a long time.

Other countries don't use women, Spain does, doesn't rounding equal to doubling the population? Even if the effect is not so exaggerated, more than 1/3 is excellent.

In this matter, Spain has an advantage over other countries.

Catholicism is a religion that values women, and even if the society is a little dissatisfied, it does not dare to oppose it strongly.

"Two, God made a man and a woman in his likeness, both men and women are God's masterpieces, and if a man and a woman cannot do it?

Think about the benefits of this for Catalonia! Alfonso said with some dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Alfonso was a little angry, and even God had moved out.

Unable to argue any further, they agreed awkwardly: "Okay, we'll talk to the factory owner first, and then go to the civilian area to recruit a group of female workers."

But what the consequences of this will be, we don't know, whether we can move forward, and we don't know. ”

Seeing that the two agreed, Alfonso breathed a sigh of relief, he now belonged to the king who had no real power.

The things mentioned so far can be passed smoothly, all thanks to Campos, who are more obedient and do not touch other people's cakes.

……

Leo is a Catalan from Barcelona.

With his skillful horsemanship, he joined the 3rd Pyrenees Infantry Division four years earlier, becoming an honorable Spanish cavalryman, and now has the rank of sergeant.

He has a wife who is not beautiful or rich, but virtuous, and a 3-year-old son.

He feels content and happy and plans to have another child in the near future.

Three months earlier, he had heard that the queen had been overthrown, and that his infantry division had been reorganized into a bunch of scattered divisions and brigades.

The name of the unit in which he served was also changed to the "First Cavalry Regiment of Catalonia", and the location was not changed, but it was still the province of Girona.

Some people say that the general rebelled, but the money he got has not changed, so he doesn't care.

He returns to Barcelona every three months, but occasionally gets a little homesick.

Perhaps God heard his prayer, and two days ago came the good news.

Their place of service was changed to the vicinity of Barcelona, which would be very convenient for them to see their families in the future.

On the way to Barcelona, he thought a little strange about the only infantry battalion still in the province of Girona—if only they could stop the French.

Back in Barcelona, the squad leader gave them a day off to go shopping and visit their loved ones in the city.

He rushed home, only to find that there was no one at home.

"Is this a thief? Even if you are robbed, what about people? The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he hurried to the door of his neighbor, Aunt Maria, and knocked on the door vigorously, "Bang Bang", "Bang Bang Bang".

"Aunt Mary! Mary, is Mary at home? "He was so anxious that he had never been in a situation before.

In his mind, there are only two possibilities, one is that the traffickers have taken the whole family away.

The other is that he suddenly comes back and breaks his wife's secret, and his wife has taken the children to date another man.

To be fair, he felt that both possibilities were very small, but that not so would not explain the situation.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the burly Aunt Maria to open the door, and the other party still had water on her hands, and she should have been doing her old job - washing clothes for people nearby in the yard.

Before he had time to say hello, he asked anxiously, "Auntie, do you know where Monica went?" ”

Seeing his anxious appearance, the aunt smiled, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her elbow, and said, "Don't worry, Monica is fine, I'll tell you slowly." ”

Seeing each other's smiles, Leo's heart relaxed a lot, Aunt Maria was the most enthusiastic, there was really nothing she could have been so relaxed.

The two of them sat down at the door.

………

"Oh, so Monica went to work in a wool mill and gave the child to my mom?"

Leo breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, it was replaced by another kind of anger.

"Am I short of her food and clothing? Isn't 3,500 pesetas a year enough for her? Leaving your children behind to work? ”

Seeing that Leo was angry, Maria persuaded: "Leo, don't worry, Monica is not the only one, it was the government that came to recruit people before, and many people signed up."

She didn't discuss it with you because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to catch up, and she was going to wait for you to come back next time to tell you. ”

Leo was still angry: "Doesn't that mean I can't? I am frugal, 3500 per year... Auntie, you can be fair, my income is the highest on this street, right? ”

"Nobody says you can't... If I hadn't had this job as a laundry washer, I would have gone too, and many people wouldn't be able to go if they wanted to... I don't know how many people envy Monica. The aunt patted him on the back and comforted.

Leo calmed down a little, but he still wanted to confront his wife:

"No, I'm going to go to Monica and ask to see if my income is not worthy of her, in the whole of Iberia, how many years, how can there be a woman like her?"

With that, he stood up and ran towards the wool mill.

Maria couldn't stop him, so she could only watch his back from behind, and shook her head helplessly.
