Chapter 90: The Blessing of All People
Of course, Fang Lang didn't agree simply to support Vivian, in fact, when Vivian mentioned clothing design, Fang Lang immediately thought about how to settle domestic compatriots, thinking about the industry that absorbed the largest number of employed people during the country's reform and opening up.
It must be textiles and clothing! Brazil is a big cotton producer, how can you let go of such a natural advantage! It seems that the establishment of textile factories in Brazil and the introduction of textile machinery and sewing machines and other garment making machinery are about to begin.
Garment factories will also be established, but not as a focus. His idea was to set up a large garment factory of his own and play an exemplary role.
Then, immigrants were encouraged to set up their own garment factories, which blossomed in an all-round way and cultivated the Chinese middle class. Make your own business in industries that require a lot of capital investment, such as garment machinery manufacturing and textile mills.
In addition, Brazil has the advantage of having some of the world's best pastures in the Brazilian highlands, and the production of leather is very impressive. Fang Lang, who came from later generations, remembers very clearly that the amount of leather raw materials shipped from Brazil to China, Italy, France and other countries is very staggering.
Since there are such good resources, of course, we must make good use of them, and the development of some enterprises such as shoes, hats, bags and bags can also digest a large number of labor.
He was not worried about affecting the development of China in later generations, and when the time came, Fang Lang was ready to support the construction of his hometown on a large scale. How can you mix up a good friend of the Chinese people.
When Vivian heard Fang Lang's words, she didn't forget to raise her eyebrows at her sister, very proud.
Since Vivien can go to school, Lilith is actually still at the age of study, mainly because of the war, and she did not go to school again after graduation.
"Lilith, what about you? Do you want to go to school or not, I'll send you to study while you're still young! ”
"But I haven't read a book in over three years, is it okay?"
Looking at Lilith's slightly hesitant expression, Fang Lang knew that Lilith also wanted to continue learning.
Here I have to admire the high education penetration rate in Italy, and two girls like Vivian and Lilith are able to study the equivalent of high school graduation in China now. It's remarkable in this day and age.
Of course, this is partly due to the fact that their father, Mr. Coburn, was a businessman and was not in bad financial condition. In fact, during World War II, Italy's education level was second only to the United States, Britain and Germany, and it was the fourth highest in the world, surpassing Japan.
It can also be seen from the fact that such a small country as Italy has so many excellent universities.
Although, Fang Lang's original cultural level is not high. However, Fang Lang, who was reborn, had studied in college. So, the importance of education is also very clear.
He is also ready to implement compulsory education for Chinese immigrant school-age children who immigrate to Brazil and increase the cultural level of Chinese in Brazil, only in this way can more Chinese be pushed to more important positions in Brazil.
Then, as long as all Chinese are instilled with the traditional culture of their ancestors during the period of basic education, so that everyone knows where their roots are, he believes that there will not be too many banana people.
"What does it matter, aren't you not at home right now! Then you'll study with Vivien. The key is whether you have a major direction you want to study. ”
"Am I really okay?"
Lilith said in a slightly unconfident tone.
Before Fang Lang could speak, Vivien had already spoken.
"Hey! Lilith, when you were studying, your academic performance was better than mine! No problem, let's learn together. ”
Fang Lang stretched out his right hand from the front to hold Lilith's hand and said:
"Honey, I'm sure you can. You just need to choose the direction of your efforts and move forward bravely, I will be your strongest backing and will provide you with all the support. ”
Feeling the temperature and strength coming from Fang Lang's hand, Lilith knew that it was Fang Lang who was transmitting confidence to him. After thinking for a while, Lilith gritted her silver teeth and said:
"Okay, then when I go back, I'll study with Vivien. I wanted to be a doctor, and I wanted to be a doctor when I was a nurse in a naval hospital during the war. However, there are very few female doctors nowadays, and I don't know if I have a chance. ”
This is a problem, and women are indeed discriminated against in many cases today, despite the first feminist movement in the world at the end of the nineteenth century.
However, the main point of contention is the demand for gender equality throughout the life course between men and women, and the most important goal is to strive for the equality of family work with social work and the same value of political rights.
It does not change the idea of the subordination of women to men in society. Therefore, the status of women in this period is actually not high.
Including, in terms of marital relations, monogamy was the mainstream in ancient Europe, but the phenomenon of polygamy is still widespread.
According to the Book of 1 Kings, "Solomon had seven hundred concubines and three hundred", which can be described as a group of wives and concubines;
For example, King Louis XIV of France had seventeen children, each born to his queen and his mistress.
So, mistresses in Europe during this period actually existed in a very wide form.
This is also the reason why Mrs. Cockburn pushed out the sister flowers together in order to tie up Fang Lang.
Some may say that there is no such backward polygamy in modern society. Then you are wrong, take the United States, which is considered to be the most advanced.
Polygamy is explicitly prohibited by law, but the phenomenon of polygamy still exists in Mormon culture.
Mormonism, the fifth-largest religion in the United States and the so-called "Mormon Cultural Zone" in the nine western states of the United States, Mormons believe that God encourages upright men who abide by the Holy Mormon Covenant to marry more than one wife, and that polygamy is considered a "principle," a "heavenly marriage," or a "new perpetual covenant."
In 1953, Arizona law enforcement authorities raided polygamous neighborhoods, but were accused of violating citizens' religious beliefs and freedoms and were heavily covered by the media; Since then, the law enforcement authorities have not dared to "act rashly".
In fact, it is also in reality that condones the spread of polygamy.
Until now, Americans still consider polygamy immoral, but some argue that if adults live in polygamy voluntarily and without harming others, there is no reason for the government to illegalize it.
After World War II, because of the large number of adult male deaths in Europe and the United States, the relationship of mistresses was very common for a long time.
(It's a big deal here!) Let's get back to the topic. )
During World War II, women's occupational discrimination was actually very serious. It was not until the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, after the second wave of feminism, that some professional fields began to open up to women.
It was only after the third feminist movement in the nineties that women began to be completely emancipated.
In this period, women mostly exist as nurses, and female doctors can be said to be a handful, so Lilith's worries are real.
Since his lover wants to become a doctor, Fang Lang will of course spare no effort to provide support!
"Don't worry! Lilith: Let's see if there is any medical school that admits female students, and if there is, we will apply to this school. If not, I'll donate to Harvard Medical School in the United States, and I'll smash it until they accept you.
If you can't find a suitable hospital to accept you after graduation, I will build a hospital specifically for you, let you be the director, and you can see whoever you want. You can rest assured that nothing can be an obstacle for you. ”
Listening to Fang Lang's bold words, Lilith was so moved that her eyes began to redden, and she reached out from the back row and hugged Fang Lang tightly. Fang Lang's face was covered with bright red lip prints.
"I love you, my dear! I'm going to give you my body and mind. ”
Hearing Lilith's emotional words, Fang Lang trembled and was excited, this means, can he be directly pushed down tonight? So what are you waiting for, Fang Lang is not a polite person.
At this moment, Vivian next to her also said delicately:
"Me too, my dear, I'm going to be with you tonight too."
How can this be done, knock down two at the same time? Wouldn't it be too beastly. However, if you don't push it, it won't be as good as a beast.
How could we, beasts, and waves do something inferior to beasts!
Looking at the two girls behind him with bright eyes, Fang Lang didn't say anything, but began to laugh without listening. Soon, the two girls blushed in Fang Lang's fiery eyes and hehe's cheap laughter.
However, although the two of them were crimson when they were looked at by Fang Lang, their eyes did not flinch, but looked at Fang Lang with affection.
This situation is unbearable for a man! Fortunately, Fang Lang's body is a young man, but his heart is already very mature, so he is not in a hurry to start taking the two of them to the hotel directly.
Instead, I took the two of them to enjoy a good meal at a high-end restaurant. Then, I wanted to take the two of them shopping and shopping. As a result, there is nothing worth visiting at all.
I don't know if it's because a few people didn't find the right place, or because of the war, the supplies are tilted towards the war, and there is not much place to go shopping and consume.
After a few people could only visit the Episcopal Church of San Lorenzo, Fang Lang took the two girls to stay in a high-end seaside resort. I know that everyone doesn't like to read the content of the high-end hotel suite, so I won't describe it too much here.
