Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The development of industry and commerce has provided society with a large number of job opportunities, many of which are for women, such as textile factories, food factories, quilt factories, etc. At first, these factories only recruited female workers at the lowest level, but as time went by,  With the development of factories, some prominent female workers began to be favored by factory owners and were promoted to help manage the factories. In addition, it was much more convenient for women to manage women than for men to manage women, and there was no need to worry about any scandals, so  More and more factories are beginning to have female managers.

    However, whether they are female workers or higher-level female managers, they all have their own financial resources, and with the development of industry and commerce, human resources have become increasingly precious. In order to retain workers, factory owners have raised their wages again and again, even if  The wages of female workers are lower than those of male workers, but after several wage increases, the wages of a female worker are enough to support herself and her children, and she has initially achieved an economically dominant position.

    Generally speaking, economic status is equal to social status. Even if the Central Plains dynasty implemented a policy of suppressing business in history, wealthy businessmen were still much superior to those poor people who could not afford to eat.  The same is true for the men and women who make up human society.

    As more and more women achieve economic success, their status in the family has also changed. They are no longer men's vassals, but have become truly independent people, even for various reasons.  Even if the family breaks up, they still have the capital to survive.

    It is precisely because of the above changes that the concepts of some women have also changed, especially for unmarried women who are in adolescence.  The changes are particularly large.  For example, some women no longer passively wait to get married, but have begun to actively accumulate some capital for themselves to get married.  Build your own career before getting married. This is especially true for women from poor families and business women.

    ???In fact, when it comes to careers that women can do.  There are really quite a few. For example, a woman from a poor family can join a factory, and then perform well and become a manager with an easy job. After accumulating a certain amount of money, she can even open a small factory of her own. Although there are not many opportunities to make a fortune, it is still possible.  You can also live without worries about food and clothing.  It is more convenient for business women. It is very simple to open a few shops with the help of family resources.

    With these capital, they can at least guarantee themselves after getting married.  She has the ability to speak legitimately and will not be bullied by her husband's family.  Of course, there are a few talented women who have made great achievements in their careers, even better than most men. However, such women generally put their careers first. As for getting married and starting a family,  However, it has become unimportant. Yifan is a good example of this.

    Although Li Min did not test the IQ of Yifan, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, according to preliminary estimates.  They are definitely all super geniuses above 180. It is precisely because of this that the three of them have achieved amazing achievements in their respective fields.  However, this kind of achievement is not necessarily a good thing for a girl who is not yet eighteen years old.

    It turned out that Yifan was destined to die young by Yuan Tiangang.  He will definitely not live to be eighteen.  It is precisely because of this that she never thought about getting married and has been doing her favorite scientific research work.  Not only did he design the steam engine, but he also successively designed trains and steamships.  Now he serves as the dean of the Academy of Sciences, helping Li Min cultivate very key scientific talents.

    But I don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s luck or misfortune?  After she met Li Min.  Like other people, his destiny was changed, and the appearance of premature death disappeared, and instead became the appearance of longevity, happiness, and indescribable wealth.  Originally this was a good thing, but after Yifan's father Zhao Fu found out, he always wanted to arrange a marriage for his daughter. Unfortunately, Yifan never thought about getting married. She had her own career to do, and she didn't want to.  Be the kind of lady who stays at home every day.  As a result, Zhao Fu couldn't convince Yifan, so he finally asked Li Min for help. Unfortunately, Li Min couldn't help with such household chores.

    Li Min originally thought that Yifan was just a special case, but he didn't expect that even Feng Shuyu would show signs of this today. Although she was not as successful as Yifan, she did not want to marry and have children like other women, but was prepared to  Stay with Xijun and do something of your own.

    Of course, this may be because Feng Shuyu did not grow up in the Tang Dynasty and received less female education. In addition, she suffered a big change some time ago and suffered a lot of displacement. She was almost sold as a slave girl.  It was because of this that she felt extremely insecure about society, so she wanted to take her destiny into her own hands, and staying with Xijun was undoubtedly an excellent way to rise, so she refused her brother to take her away.  I made up my mind to do something great by Xijun's side.

    After understanding Feng Shuyu¡¯s thoughts, Li Min also understood it very well. After all, he came from a later generation. Although equality between men and women had not been truly realized at that time, this idea had already penetrated deeply into people¡¯s hearts, even ifAs a man, Li Min disagrees with some aspects, but it is understandable.

    Although Feng Shuyu believed in Li Min, she also felt that her ideas were a bit deviant. But to her surprise, Li Min not only did not object after hearing this, but actually encouraged her and told her that she should be happy with you.  Do it there, and don't forget to learn something. If you have any difficulties, just come to him.

    Hearing Li Min's unexpected encouragement, Feng Shuyu was extremely grateful. At that moment, he excitedly chatted with Li Min about what he had seen and heard around Xijun during this period. Looking at her, she looked like the tough one in later generations.  Little girls entering the workplace are no different, and Li Min can only act as a competent listener. From time to time, he will smile and add a few words to express his presence, which can also stimulate the narrator to be more excited.

    However, Li Min is also considering that with the improvement of women's status, this will inevitably become a social problem. Although this problem is not a big deal now, it will one day appear in front of everyone. It seems that he should take good care of it.  Think about how to resolve this problem.

    After listening to Feng Shuyu's workplace adventures all afternoon, Li Min felt much better and felt hungry. He ate an extra half a bowl at dinner without realizing it, and then after a good sleep, his whole body felt better.  The spirit finally recovered.  Li Chengqian and Li Ke were almost recovered, so after breakfast the next day, Li Min followed them to visit Shanghai City.

    The last time Li Min came to Shanghai, the entire city had just built a foundation, and many places were just large, messy construction sites. If it weren't for the constant flow of people, there wouldn't be much to see.

    But this time, Li Min clearly felt the changes in Shanghai. The most direct impression was that Shanghai was much cleaner. It was not like the last time he came here, where the whole city was filled with dust due to construction.  Nowadays, the streets in Shanghai are very clean. There are special slaves responsible for cleaning each section of the road, and some transplanted trees are planted on both sides of the streets. It¡¯s just that the trees are too big to be transported, so they are just small trees. I believe that in a few years  If so, it should be able to grow into a big tree that can be used for shade.

    After touring around the city of Shanghai, Li Min saw neat streets like this. It happened to be working time at the beginning, so there were many people on the streets, most of them were workers wearing gray work clothes, and there were also crew members with leisurely looks.  , they all took a break in Shanghai, so the crew members were also given a holiday by the shipowner and came to the city to play. Most of them went to the brothel full of exotic female slaves at the pier. Those who came out were also fresh from the brothel.  They came out and are now recharging their energy, so one is more leisurely than the other.

    Li Min also participated in the planning of Shanghai City and was the main designer. He divided Shanghai into several districts, and each district was divided into residential areas and commercial areas. In the suburbs of Shanghai City, there are  Industrial zone, because Shanghai is backed by Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is a famous silk production area, and Shanghai is no exception. Many people take a fancy to Shanghai's location and invest in building factories here to specialize in the production of silk. There are also many  Food factory, clothing factory, etc.

    In the area near the sea, there are shipyards. In addition, steel plants, lumber plants and other factories supporting the shipyards are also built here.  The shipyards here in Shanghai are all newly built. However, Shanghai is a port city that is developing very fast. Many shipyards are very optimistic about this place, so the shipyards here seem to have sprung up overnight.  Some of them have also started taking orders for shipbuilding.

    There is a special ship town in Dengzhou, which is full of shipyards. Li Min didn't go there either, so he had long been tired of seeing shipyards, so he just walked around these shipyards today, and then came to Shanghai.  The busiest pier is also the pier where Sun's Restaurant where Li Min and Li Ke had a drink last time.

    With the huge flow of people on the pier, the Sun couple's restaurant business is very booming, but when they saw Li Min and Li Ke, they immediately arranged a private room upstairs, and then served wine and food in person, greeting them very attentively.  Because they were all old acquaintances, Li Min was not as polite as the couple. In addition, he specifically asked about their business situation, to which the Sun couple also answered one by one.

    I spent a day wandering around Shanghai. Generally speaking, the current situation in Shanghai is very good. Especially the security problems I encountered last time have been greatly improved this time. There are often patrolmen passing by on the streets and docks.  It cannot be said that there are no gangsters on the streets, but no one dares to blatantly bully vendors like before.

    On the morning of the third day, Li Min was finally leaving Shanghai. This time after he returned to Dengzhou, he would implement the currency reform of the Tang Dynasty. Although there were very few new coins issued this time, they were only used as a currency.  Auxiliary coins are being used, but this is an extremely important beginning, so Li Min has to do it himself.
