There was silence in the nave...

Lord, what does this mean?

Could it be that... in order to promote this spirit, he decided to marry Huang Jijiu personally to correct the trend?

And...Huang Jijiu, you are so ignorant that you directly answered that you are not married yet? You said you should go home and ask your parents!

Seeing that the lord's long-standing problem will be solved so soon?

Xiangbaitu has traveled five years and is now an older young man. Regarding his old man's marriage, Lu Kang and others have also had headaches. After all, if you don't get married, you won't have children... "The master is in doubt" is better than "the master has no descendants"

"Isn't it insurance?

Even Lu Bu was secretly looking for a candidate, but...after discussing with Diao Chan again, he was rejected by his own family for several days for no reason, and then he delayed.

Lu Lingqi:......

Lu Lingqi looked at the veiled Huang Yueying with dead eyes - well, she roughly understood why Huang Yueying said that, but... it still sounded like she wanted to hit someone.

"My lord is right! If the husband is a man and has no tolerance for others, wouldn't he be worse than a woman in the street? I would also marry him!" Mi Heng noticed that Bai Tu's expression was different and understood that it was not everyone.

As he thought, he immediately stepped forward to save the situation.

"A tone full of jealousy can't tolerate a female official, why bother to bend down, why not ask the eunuch to get it! Oh!"

After saying this, he also made a special effort to express his words - it is great to talk nonsense in the central hall of the general's palace. Just like when he was in the prime minister's palace, he can receive multiple "feedbacks" at once.

Mi Heng: Mental strength 10!

At this moment, Mi Heng felt that he was the most watched star!

Huang Yueying:???

Huang Yueying looked at this guy with his neck stretched out in disbelief. Just now, she felt that there seemed to be a flattering guy sneaking into the general's mansion, and now... she was even more convinced that this guy had already reached the extreme level of flattering!

I told you that I am unmarried and not to your lord's taste, so you took the initiative and said, "You are also willing to marry"...so that you can satisfy the general's good wife, right? Your licking is even more excessive than that of Shi Changshi, right?

?

There is such a weird thing. The General's Mansion is really a scary place...

"Haha, I don't like long necks. It reminds me of the turtles that drowned in the pond in the backyard." Huang Yueying said in a disgusted voice.

Mi Heng:??? Mental power -10; Huang Yueying: Mental power 10!

Mi Heng's face turned red because he was suppressing it, and all the mental power that had just been harvested from the audience was delivered at once...

"My lord and Zhengping are both honorable men, but not all men in the world are honorable men. As far as I know... every workshop that employs female workers also has vagrants in the countryside causing trouble, right?" Wei Teng said at this time.

The Wei family is very conservative, and even...to this day, they still stick to their principles and never hire female workers, giving those scoundrels an opportunity to take advantage of them!

It can be said that he is old-fashioned, but in fact, he also has a "cute" side - a modern capitalist would not have such a high bottom line.

It's just... Wei Teng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw other people hiring cheap female workers.

"Well? Wang Division, are this kind of things... very rampant recently?" Bai Tu looked at Wang Lang.

"This... because there are not many reports of this kind of thing, but there are some workshops, so there are a lot of reports of people's lives being reported, especially in Jinling..." Wang Lang said and looked at a few people in particular, and everyone pretended not to be surprised.

See the look in his eyes.

Bai Tu:……

Well, few people will go to the government for this kind of nuisance to women.

Such people who disturb women are usually beaten to death by clan members, old and young, if they are found in the countryside. If they are found in a workshop, they will be beaten to death by the workshop - especially the workshop outside Jinling... Who are they really?

Can they all be opened?

Do I need to report the female worker who is harassing me to the police if she is discovered?

Of course, because of the habit of not reporting crimes, more second-rate scoundrels have not been punished...

"You have to take care of the lives of people in the workshop, and you have to take care of the harassment of female workers even more!" Bai Tu said sternly.

Wang Lang is also helpless. If they don't report the crime, why should they blame me?

Although he didn't say it clearly, Bai Tu seemed to understand his eyes and said directly: "I blame the Punishment Department for not giving the victims confidence! In the future, the Punishment Department will strengthen the law enforcement in the workshops!"

Wang Lang:……

Okay, what else can Wang Lang say?

Go back and tutor the law popularizers on their “speaking skills”!

"Lord, those rural refugees who commit crimes are certainly cancerous, but if the existence of women's workshops did not give them the opportunity, they would rarely go to the countryside to harass women. Some refugees even see opportunities.

That's why I became restless." Wei Teng said at this time.

If you go to the countryside to harass women...if you are discovered by the villagers, you will be killed and buried!

This is also a manifestation of the protective nature of the clan. It is of no benefit at all, and the concept of "clan" will not appear...

Even in troubled times, there are many gangsters who rob civilian girls and few second-rate scoundrels who harass civilian girls... because most of them are buried in mass graves!

"It makes sense. When Dong Zhuo was doing mischief in the court, as long as he didn't serve as an official, didn't cause trouble, and just went back to his hometown to hide, there would be no danger...Why doesn't Old Lieutenant Yuan understand Zhou Lin's reasoning?"

Bai Tu looked at Wei Teng and said.

These words were quite heart-wrenching, and Wei Teng's scalp exploded after hearing it for a while - Who is Old Lieutenant Yuan? Yuan Feng! Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu's uncle, the mainstay of the rebellion against Dong Baohuang during Dong Zhuo's reign, and later the Dong thief

Harm!

Even though Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were each defined as rebels by the court, Yuan Feng's posthumous reputation was not affected. He was a model for officials.

Hearing this, Mi Heng's eyes lit up at the side - Master! Can these be combined together?

Write it down, write it down...

"This, this...Old Lieutenant Yuan stepped forward for justice. What I mean is...those female workers did not go to the workshop for justice...Of course, I am not saying that they are unjust, but..."

Wei Teng quickly explained.

"Is it righteousness for farmers to cultivate in the fields?" Bai Tu interrupted.

Wei Teng did not dare to answer. It was indeed not the same kind of "great righteousness", but...if he said it was not a great righteousness, Bai Tu would definitely ask him, if everyone doesn't farm, what will they eat?

"Ahem, working in a workshop is naturally beneficial... but isn't it the same with weaving at home and caring for your husband and raising your children?" Wei Teng said aggrievedly.

After all, this is the crux of the matter. Men farm and women weave, a word that haunts the Han people.

"I know what you are worried about. It's nothing more than men farming and women weaving. But have you ever thought about the military in the General's Mansion, not to mention the workshops outside the city, the shipyards at the port, the salt fields on the seaside, the miners in the mountains...

...Where do these people come from? Will we rely on refugees and disaster victims in the future? Are the technologies and projects from the Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Civil Affairs prepared for the refugees and disaster victims?"

Bai Tu simply put on a posture of saying, let’s talk clearly today.

Men farm and women weave, this saying touches everyone's heart.

Anyone who has attended junior high school understands what the small-scale peasant economy was in ancient my country. Men farmed and women weaved!

In order to invest productivity in industrialization, we must "destroy" the small-scale peasant economy. Of course, Baitu's "destruction" cannot be "sheep eating people", that is, we cannot force the labor force to produce small-scale farmers when basic needs cannot be met.

Pull them out, otherwise the consequences will be starvation all over the land...

"Although what my lord did was an act of kindness, it was indeed quite... difficult and dangerous. After all, 'food, clothing and security' are the foundation of the people." Zhang Zhao said after hesitating for a moment.

Although aristocratic families have benefited a lot from the workshops that cooperated with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, it does not mean that they will forget the "fundamentals".

Although conservatives such as Zhang Zhao here do not understand what "sheep eat people" means, they have instinctive resistance and fear of being impacted by the model of men farming and women weaving.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact, as long as Baitu did not mess around with death, it would be difficult for "sheep to eat people" to happen. After all... the powerful people from aristocratic families who had the ability to "sheep to eat people" had their own names engraved in their hearts for generations.

Bloodline’s persistence in “farming”.

Therefore, when Bai Tu heard Zhang Zhao's words, instead of being angry, he looked at him very pleased.

If we manage to keep the aristocratic families from making the transition to a powerful family, but the scholar-bureaucrat class is collectively capitalized, it will be a scourge...

But it's okay...even if they are both oppressive classes, there is still a fundamental difference between the aristocratic right-wingers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the capitalists after the fifteenth century.

To a certain extent, a wealthy family is much safer than a capitalist. If a capitalist is a personified capital, then a wealthy family is a personified bloodline continuation. If a real family gives it a hundred times the profit, it will not

Would consider going to the gallows.

On the contrary, "bloodline continuation" is the core interest, and this "core interest" can curb other ambitions!

Especially for aristocratic families, the more glorious and ancient they are, the more they have a deep fear of agricultural devastation - in this land where "Princes, Generals and Prime Ministers would rather have seeds", don't expect anyone to be willing to go hungry...

Others were farming, so I studied when I had enough to eat, and watched others help farm - farming, reading, and passing down family traditions was the safest way.

Of course, on the basis of "insurance", if I can have more land and more people to cultivate land for me, that would be even better!

"The provision of food and clothing is well said! So whether it is the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Ministry of Industry, in addition to the necessary means to deal with those rebels who are making trouble, isn't the main focus on the provision of food and clothing? Five years ago, Jiangdong 34

Only one peasant household can support a person who is out of work while meeting the needs of his family... This person who is out of work can be a scholar, a worker, a businessman, or a general."

Of course, it's actually not just "one person", because in the world of Castle Princess, some manpower has been recruited!

"But now, basically every two households can support one person... What is the benefit of this?" Bai Tu asked.

"Of course my lord is wise, and he is the living Shennong!" Mi Heng said fiercely.

"Well, there are reasons for this, but there are also more reasons. It is the water conservancy project of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the breeding plan of the Ministry of Industry. If we want to be more efficient... we can only rely on more convenient tools and better...

Crops, more fertile land! These...all require 'people' to complete!

Therefore, compared with other princes, the manpower invested by the General's Mansion in the army is very low. It should be the same as Yizhou, which is the lowest. However, in terms of labor, we have the highest proportion of requisitioned workers, and it will only be higher in the future. In this way, we can

Make 'food, clothing and security' more secure.

In other words... the manpower that can be overflowing on the basis of 'food and clothing' is the most precious thing." Bai Tu said.

The "destruction" Bai Tu wants is to "overflow" the labor force from the small-scale peasant economy.
To be continued...
