Capital Datang

Chapter 451 The Awakening of Women's Rights

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

However, whether they are female workers or high-level female managers, they all have their own sources of income, and with the development of industry and commerce, human resources are becoming more and more precious. In order to retain workers, factory owners raise wages repeatedly. It is mentioned that even if the wages of female workers are lower than those of male workers, after several wage increases, the wages of a female worker are enough to support herself and her children, and she has initially achieved economic independence.

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 have achieved economic independence, their status at home has also changed. They are no longer vassals of men, but become truly independent people, even if it is because of various The family broke up due to some reasons, and they also have the capital to survive.

It is precisely because of the above changes that some women's ideas have also changed, this is for those unmarried women who are in adolescence.The changes are particularly large.For example, some women are no longer passively waiting to get married, but have begun to actively accumulate some capital for themselves to marry.Make a career of your own before getting married, which is especially prominent for those poor women and business women.Capital Datang 451

In fact, let's talk about careers that women can do.There are really not a few of them. For example, women from poor families can enter factories, perform well and become managers with easy jobs, and even after accumulating a certain amount of money, they can open a small factory by themselves. Although there are not many opportunities to make a fortune, but You can also live comfortably.It is more convenient for business women, and it is very simple to open a few shops with the help of family resources.

With these capitals, they can at least guarantee themselves after marriage.Have the capital to speak legitimately, not to be bullied by her husband's family.Of course, there are also a few talented women who have done a great job in their careers, even better than most men, but such women generally put their careers first. The matter of getting married and starting a family has become unimportant. Yifan is a good example of this.

Although Li Yin did not test the IQ of Yifan, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng, according to preliminary estimates.They are all super geniuses above [-], and 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 full.

It turned out that Yifan was judged by Yuan Tiangang to die young.Definitely won't survive.It is precisely because of this that she never thought about getting married, and has been doing her favorite scientific research work.Not only has the steam engine been designed, but also trains and steamships have been designed one after another.Now he serves as the dean of the Academy of Sciences, helping Li Yin cultivate key scientific talents.

But I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune?After she met Li Yin.Also like other people, her fate has been changed, the appearance of premature death has disappeared, and instead it has become an appearance of both good fortune and longevity, which is indescribable.Originally this was a good thing, but after Yifan’s father, Zhao Fu, wanted to talk to his daughter about marriage, it was a pity that 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.In the end, Zhao Fu couldn't persuade Yifan, and finally turned to Li Yin. Unfortunately, Li Yin couldn't help with this kind of housework.

At first Li Yin thought that Yifan was just a special case, but he didn't expect Feng Shuyu to have this kind of sign today. Although she is not as successful in her career as Yifan, she doesn't want to marry and have children for a lifetime like other women. Stay by Xijun's side and make your own career.

Of course, this may be because Feng Shuyu did not grow up in the Tang Dynasty, and she received less female education. In addition, she suffered a great change some time ago, suffered a lot of homelessness, and was almost sold as a female slave. It is because of this that she has an extremely insecure sense of society, so she wants to take her fate into her own hands, and staying with Xijun is undoubtedly an excellent way to rise, so she refuses her brother to take her away, He made up his mind to do something by Xijun's side.

After understanding Feng Shuyu's thoughts, Li Yin also understood it very well. After all, he came from a later age. Although equality between men and women had not been truly realized at that time, this kind of thinking had already penetrated into the hearts of the people. Although I disagree with some aspects, it is also understandable.

Although Feng Shuyu believed in Li Yin, she also felt that her thoughts were a bit deviant, but to her surprise, Li Yin not only did not object after hearing this, but even encouraged her a few words, and told her to take good care of you. Do it there, and don't forget to learn something, if you have any difficulties, just come to him.

Hearing Li Yin's unexpected encouragement, Feng Shuyu was very grateful, and now excitedly chatted with Li Yin about what he had seen and heard by Xijun's side during this time. Seeing her appearance, she was just like the kind of upright people in later generations. Little girls who enter the workplace are no different, but Li Yin can only act as a competent listener, and from time to time he even smiles and "inserts" a few sentences to express his existence, which can also stimulate the narrator to be more excited.

It's just that Li Yin is also thinking about it. 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 appear in front of everyone one day. It seems that I should take care of it. Think about how to resolve this problem.

Listening to Feng Shuyu's adventures in the workplace all afternoon, Li Yin felt much better, and felt hungry. He ate half a bowl for dinner without realizing it, and after a good night's sleep, his whole body The spirit finally recovered.And Li Chengqian and Li Ke have almost recovered, so after breakfast the next day, Li Yin followed them to visit Shanghai City.

When Li Yin came to Shanghai last time, the foundation of the entire city had just been laid, and many places were still just a messy large construction site. If it weren't for the constant flow of people, I'm afraid there would really be nothing to see.

But this time Li Yin clearly felt the changes in Shanghai. The most direct impression was that Shanghai was much cleaner. Unlike the last time he came, the whole city was full of dust due to construction.Now the streets in Shanghai are very tidy, and there are special slaves responsible for cleaning each section of the road, and there are some moved trees planted on both sides of the street, but the trees are too big to be transported, so they are all small trees, I believe that in a few years If so, it should be able to grow into a big tree that can enjoy the shade.

After visiting the city of Shanghai, what Li Yin saw was this kind of tidy streets. At the beginning, it happened to be working hours, so there were many people on the streets, most of them were workers in gray overalls, and there were some spirits. The leisurely sailors, they all stopped in Shanghai for a while, so the crew members were also given a holiday by the ship owner. Most of the crew who came to play in the city went to the brothel full of foreign slaves on the pier, and came out. All of these have just come out of the "brothel" and are now recharging their energy, so one is more leisurely than the other.

Li Yin 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 districts and commercial districts. Because Shanghai is backed by Suzhou and Hangzhou, this is a famous silk producing area, and Shanghai is no exception. Many people have taken a fancy to Shanghai's location and invested in building factories here, specializing in the production of silk. In addition, there are many Food factory, clothing factory, etc.

But in the area near the sea, it is the world of shipyards. In addition, factories such as steel mills and timber factories are also built here to complement the shipyards.The shipyards in Shanghai are also newly built, but Shanghai is a port city that is developing very fast, and many shipbuilders are very optimistic about it, so all the shipyards here seem to have sprung up overnight. Some of them have already begun to take orders for shipbuilding.

There is a special ship city in Dengzhou, which is full of shipyards, and Li Min did not go there, so the shipyards have long been tired of seeing, so today I just walked around these shipyards, and then came to Shanghai The busiest pier is also the pier where Sun's restaurant where Li Yin and Li Ke drank last time is located.

Taking advantage of the huge flow of people on the wharf, the business of the Sun couple's restaurant was booming, but when they saw Li Yin and Li Ke, they immediately went upstairs to arrange a private room, and then served the wine and food in person, and greeted them very well. attentive.Because they are old acquaintances, Li Yin is not as polite as the couple. In addition, he asked about their business situation, and the Sun couple answered them one by one.Capital Datang 451

I spent a day wandering around in Shanghai. Generally speaking, the status quo of Shanghai City is still very good, especially the security problem I encountered last time. This time when I saw you again, it has been greatly improved. There are often street guards passing by on the streets and docks. It can't be said that there are no gangsters on the street, but no one dares to bully the vendors blatantly like before.

On the morning of the third day, Li Yin was finally about to leave Shanghai. After returning to Dengzhou this time, he was about to carry out the reform of the currency system of the Tang Dynasty. The tokens are in use, but this is an extremely important beginning, so Li Yin has to do it himself. (To be continued.)
