Zhu Fan closed his mouth. From the time he became the king and became a vassal back then, he understood that he should no longer participate in the affairs of the court.

In the past few years, although he has been on an errand in Beijing, he has always adhered to a rule. The old man and the eldest brother let themselves do whatever they want.

Now, what his grandson and nephew let him do, he will do. The old Zhu family is now a big family.

There is a division of labor on who should make decisions for this family and who will do things. Zhu Fan has a clear understanding.

So even though he has killed many people over the years and is hated by many people, his family will never say what he did.

He will even be caught in the Taimiao Temple from time to time to be regarded as a punishment to the outside world. Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand, poured the teapot in front of him, and prepared to make tea again.

He kept moving his hands and said softly: "Actually, this matter is related to another matter. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Fan was very cooperative, and his face showed curiosity: "What's the matter?" ”

"A while ago, at the end of the year, at the cabinet summary meeting, the governor of Zhili, Yamen and Ying Tianfu, made a concert, focusing on the current Yingtianfu industrial workshops, as well as various projects, began to have a large area of labor difficulties." Zhu Yunxi's movements in his hands were skillful and natural, and he had already made tea in a short time and poured a cup for himself and his second uncle.

Take a sip. Then the face showed comfort. That's tea. He really didn't understand, obviously he was just boiling tea, how could the second uncle make the brewed tea so unpalatable.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "The local people can't all give up farming and go to work in factories and construction sites. The imperial court would not allow this, and the people themselves could not have completely abandoned their fields. However, the construction of industry and the imperial court required more and more manpower. In the past two years, the number of government-run workshops in Yingtianfu has increased from a dozen to nearly 300, mainly in the military industrial system. The number of private factories has also increased from a few hundred at the beginning to nearly 2,000. The government-run workshops are all large-scale, and the minimum number of people working at the same time is three to five hundred. There are large and small private factories, large and small, with thousands of people in large areas and dozens of people in small ones, but together there are a lot. Zhu Fan held the teacup, warming it while tasting it, and he felt that the tea was no different in his mouth.

He nodded and agreed, "It's going to take a lot of people." Zhu Yunxi snorted: "The latest statistics show that only the number of workers employed by Yingtianfu's government-run and private factories has exceeded 100,000. There is still a big gap, in fact, if people from other places come over, it is also feasible. But when the people came, the court finally needed to allocate the fields, which squeezed the survival capacity of Ying Tianfu. "There is no way for the Ming Dynasty to do it now, so that the people can completely get rid of the land and earn money to support their families through work.

The change of the people's concept needs to be cultivated over a long period of time, and it is also necessary to ensure that Yingtianfu's economy has been on an upward curve and can stabilize these people who have changed from peasants to workers for a long time.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "At the summary meeting of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household at the end of last year, they were still saying that they would increase investment and industrial construction in Yingtianfu this year, and that they would support the industrial development of surrounding prefectures and counties, which would require more people. So after thinking about it, there is only one way to go. ”

"What way?" Zhu Fan finally became truly curious. Zhu Yunxi also said directly: "Those women who can only choose to stay at home for various reasons!" After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi leaned back on the chair, held the teacup, and looked at Zhu Fan silently.

Because of the reason of science, many women can only stay at home, women from ordinary families spin yarn and farm at home, and women from large families are hidden in the boudoir.

There are many textile workshops in Yingtianfu and even in Suzhou and Hangzhou, gathering a large number of women to work, but the overall number has not had much impact.

Even in the textile industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou, more women take raw materials home from their owners and then carry out textile work at home.

Finally, take the finished product and send it to the owner, and after the owner passes the inspection, you can get the salary. Ying Tianfu's side should be more advanced.

In order to enforce the standards set by the government-run textile workshops, the textile factories in Yingtianfu all allowed women to work in the factories.

But for various reasons, most of the time only women are in the factory. Then the surrounding villages will send village elders to watch the factory.

As for other industries? It's all men who use it entirely. But in the current Ming Dynasty, Yingtianfu actually had a labor shortage.

It's a bit bizarre. But Zhu Yunxi feels that only by letting more women go out of the house can this problem be truly solved.

For example, the gunpowder factory jointly run by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. The delicate process of making gunpowder can be left to the more attentive women.

Another example is the production of iron armor and face armor of the Ming Army, which can be done by men in the early stage of steel, but in the later part of the outfit, it can be completely handed over to women.

In particular, the tandem of iron armor and the sewing of face armor make it easier for women to do it and more meticulous.

As for those workshops that are privately run. Those things that involve the daily life of the entire Ming society, there are more processes in it that can be handed over to women to do.

Zhu Fan pondered for a long time. In his opinion, in fact, no matter who does things, as long as the good court needs people to do things, then there is nothing to scruple about.

But......

"But ......" Zhu Rong's face was solemn, and he looked at Zhu Yunxi with deep eyes: "Not to mention whether the old stubborns in the court will oppose this matter, even those men in the factory now will definitely oppose it." Zhu Yunxi had to nod and agree with Zhu Zhang's statement.

Except for the opposition of the old diehards of science in the court. Even the men who work in ordinary jobs are very likely to disagree.

Because it's not just about getting the women in their family to work and make money. And then there's another point, which is what women would think if they could do all kinds of things to make money, and what kind of changes would be made in a basic family.

Husband and child. This is the common understanding of the people of the Central Plains for thousands of years. Women should respect their elders at home, help their husbands, and take care of their children, instead of thinking about making money to support their families.

That's why all the textile factories in the realm of Yingtianfu, including the government-run workshops, stop working when the farming is busy so that the women can go home and take care of the family.

Some deep-rooted ideas cannot be changed in a short period of time. Zhu Fan thought for a while and said, "So, do you want the three girls outside to follow you to show up outside, and then let them go to work in the factory?" Zhu Fan's idea is simple.

Whether it is the little girl of the Song family in Wuxi, or the other two little girls who were sent to Beijing, the lowest are all women from poetry and books.

If such a woman is known to everyone and goes into the factory to work, it will inevitably have a great impact on ordinary people.

But...... Zhu Yunxi shook his head.

"No!" Zhu Yunxi smiled: "It's not just to let the three of them go to work in the factory, I mean, to let the three of them make a few big jobs under the noses of everyone in Beijing." In the future, the three of them are the big factory owners praised by everyone in Jingshi, and they are the female owners who make a lot of money with everyone. "Letting three little girls from famous families go to work in a factory may have a great impact on the minds of ordinary people.

But it's far better to let Song Liuhong and the three of them take all the women to set up a factory together and make money.

In the past, the most women used to do was to make a food stall or something like that. No matter more, it's at home, sitting behind the scenes, doing some bookkeeping and business stuff.

Let the woman go to set up a factory and take everyone to do things and make money. That's something that has hardly ever happened. And what Zhu Yunxi wants to do is to set a benchmark for the people of the world.

That is the women of the Ming Dynasty, who can also hold up half the sky! Zhu Fan snorted twice, and felt that it was still necessary to discourage the enthusiasm of the eldest nephew: "Then have you ever thought that maybe you can help the three of them set up the factory, but it is impossible to recruit a male worker, and even a female worker is difficult to recruit." "It's simple.

The male workers are naturally receptive to working under the male owner. But it's hard to accept that it's working under a female owner.

"Even if you pay people more!" Zhu Fan added. Zhu Yunxi just smiled slightly, drank the tea in the cup, and said, "So, I will get the identity of a female official for the three of them, and then run a government-run factory." Zhu Fan finally scoffed at this: "There are also many in the female official palace, your second uncle hasn't seen it all these years, and the people have any reactions and discussions about it." "Zhu Yunxi is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Under Zhu Fan's gaze. Zhu Yunxi asked rhetorically: "What if this female official position is under the control of the Ministry of Officials?" "The grandmother of the Song family in Wuxi and the grandmothers of the other two families and others failed to enter the Zongren Mansion after all.

They can rely on the main family behind them to enter the yamen of the Ying Tian Governor's Mansion, but the Zongren Mansion does not need to give them a good face.

The officers and soldiers who were directly related to the military guard at the door said, 'Where did the slaves come from, and they dared to enter the Zongren Mansion with a thick face?' He scolded the people of the three families and was ashamed.

The place where the heirs of the heavenly family are managed is really not something that ordinary people can enter. And Zhu Yunxi had already slipped out of the back door of the Zongren Mansion at this time.

And then he didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials next door to the Zongren Mansion.

"Impossible!"

"It's impossible!"

"This is the law of the ancestors and cannot be changed!"

"This is something that will never happen to my Central Plains dynasties!"

"Weichen has ten heads, and he doesn't dare to agree to what His Highness said. If His Royal Highness has to force it, Weichen can only resign from the position of a cabinet scholar and a secretary of the ministry! Above the official court, Zhai Shan, a scholar of the Ming Cabinet and a secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was full of shock, and he was determined to say against the imperial grandson of the Ming Dynasty.

His attitude was extremely resolute. His face is full of the appearance that if your imperial grandson forces me again, I will die to show you.

"But...... Wu Cao became emperor. Zhu Yunxi said silently. When he was thinking about this matter, he had already thought of the reaction of Zhai Shan, the secretary of the ministry.

Zhai Shan was obviously stunned for a moment, and his tone became hesitant: "That's also ...... That's the only example...... It's not the same. ”

"But Wu Cao just became the emperor."

"It's different! This, this, this...... These are two different things......"

"Wu Cao became the emperor."

"Your Highness, you want the life of the old minister......"

"Emperor Wu Cao."

"Wechen...... Wechen thinks about it again......"

"Wu Cao."

"Minister...... Try? ”

"......" Zhai Shan looked like a frosted eggplant, and his face was full of the appearance of Kang Yi going to death. Zhu Yunxi finally picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Zhai Ge will go down in history from now on!" The corners of Zhai Shan's mouth twitched: "Your Highness...... The minister only hopes that after this experience, it is fortunate that no one will dig up the grave after death......"

"You'll go down in history!" Zhu Yunxi once again repeated emphatically. Subsequently, Zhu Yunxi went to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Daming Firm, and the Daming Yinhao, and finally returned to the Taisun Mansion outside the Xi'an Gate from the Dadu Governor's Mansion.

Thirty-one years of Hongwu. The eighth day of the first month. At this time, the imperial court had already begun its official office. At a court meeting.

The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Daming Silver Horn, the Daming Firm, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion jointly played.

After the collegial discussion of the four ministries, the two No. 2, and the government, due to the development needs of the official industry of the imperial court, the yamen of the various ministries and departments have decided to formally request the imperial court to add and award Song Liuhong, Luo Shuyun, and Qi Yongdi as the female officials who host the nine products.

The appointment and dismissal of officials of Jiupin can actually be appointed and dismissed as long as the official department approves it. However, because the official position of this female official who presided over family affairs was not available before, it still had to be approved by the will of the court meeting before it could be realized.

On the spot, the old diehards of civil administration and science at the court meeting immediately went out to oppose it. The imperial court previously allowed Zhang Ergong's craftsmen to enter the officialdom and grant official positions, which originally made many people disagree with this.

However, for the sake of Zhang Ergong, these people are all beneficial to the court, and they are all men, so they will be given official positions.

But now, Zhai Shan, a group of dizzy bastards, actually wants to grant three women official positions in the court.

Isn't this something that is meant to be laughed at by the whole world? For a time, shoes and socks flew all over the sky.

If it weren't for the picket royal historians who looked five big and three thick, and waited for a wat board, this battle would have been fought.

In the end, in this court meeting, the gang led by Zhai Shan proposed that the Ming Dynasty set up female officials, and the force value was superior and won the victory.

The imperial court also issued a clear will, and the cabinet sent an edict to the various ministries and departments, and the Ming Dynasty has since had three female officials under the management of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households.
