Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 458 - Set Sail - Rising Storm Eleven
"Qi Ye, why don't we find more male workers? If we only recruit male workers, many people are willing to send them over with the wages and rations we give from all over the world." Li Changshun suggested.

Gu Qi smiled: "When did we stop recruiting male workers? The clerks in the shop, the farmers in the farm, the stewards, the bodyguards in the escort agency, and the day laborers who do odd jobs, which one is not a male worker?"

"These are labor-intensive jobs, and many young boys may not be able to do them. The Yunshuizhuang Pharmaceutical Workshop only needs some packing jobs. We may be able to recruit some teenagers and half-children to use them."

"Do you think the work of the female workers in the pharmacy is very easy?" Gu Qi asked with a smile.

Li Changshun was taken aback, wasn't he?

Just staying in the house, not exposed to the wind and the sun, doing easy jobs that don't require hard work, and eating the same two meals as men, isn't this easy work?

Knowing Li Changshun's thoughts, Gu Qi shook his head and chuckled: "You only know that the work in the workshop does not require effort, but you don't know that such a high-density assembly line job requires a long period of time to maintain a high degree of concentration and the memory of the hands. Once you relax, you will easily make mistakes, which consumes the most energy and patience.

Women may be born different from men in bone and muscle strength, but they are mostly superior to men in absolute patience and concentration.

In addition, the women recruited now are used to doing trivial things at home. The most important thing for such a woman is patience. , Can you really calm down and sit quietly in the workshop for five or six hours a day, almost unable to move, and still have to concentrate on doing every step of the same detailed work? "

Li Changshun was dumb now.

Twelve and thirteen-year-olds in the village like teasing chickens and dogs the most, going up trees and down rivers to wade in muddy puddles.

It would be fine if the farming and studying people were more strictly controlled, but based on the farmers in the nearby villages, how many of them would send their children to school, and there are very few who have studied for a year or two to be enlightened. A half-grown child who grew up without restraint, no matter whether he is honest or quick-witted, is really unmatched by women in terms of patience.

How do girls in Yuzhou live, you only need to ask a few words and look around to understand.

They are all three or four years old and have to help take care of younger siblings when they can walk. When they are four or five years old, they have to light a fire and clean up the house. to wash.

Those who are older, before they get married, not only have to go to the fields under the sun to do physical work, but also have to do chores at home.

It is said that women are useless, but when I think about it, most girls in Yuzhou start doing things from the time they can talk, and there is no chance to stop until they are old.

The difference with men is that with the same effort, men can earn some fame.It's so big that it makes great contributions to its ancestors, and it's so small that it sets up a family to support its wife and daughter.

Only when it comes to women, everything they do in their lives seems to be hidden.

All the hard work can be exchanged for fame in the end, but it's just that women are useless and rely on their husbands and sons to support them.

This kind of customary acquiescence is not limited to Yuzhou, and it is not limited to the Dakang Dynasty, and it is not even a practice only in feudal dynasties.

Even in Gu Qi's previous world, in a relatively enlightened society, there were still many women who were regarded as appendages who could accomplish nothing.
