How dare Yinzhen take over this hot potato? This is not something that can be settled by more than 100,000 silver. I have to accept it. Even if he dragged Lao Ba and Lao Shi into the water, he would not be able to raise so much money. He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, how can I be called a long-lasting dancer? I have to build so many workshops in a short time, and I have no one or money, so I am really scared."

Zhenwu smiled and said, "Talents are easy to talk about. No matter how recruiting them, the workshops are gradually developed from small to large. I just sucked the bannermen into the workshops for military needs. There were some craftsmen in the palace, and with missionaries, they could hold up the shelves first. I also wrote to the other hand and asked the Navy to recruit some craftsmen in Europe. Other workshops, Jiangnan, the capital, are mostly talents, and they are not worried about not being able to recruit talents.

As for the money, hundreds of thousands of taels are enough for your early expenses. Next year, I will gradually allocate silver to you. This matter is related to the livelihood of the people and the production of the military. How could I not lose a penny?"

After hearing Zhenwu say this, Yinzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhenwu turned his head and said, "Can we recruit all female workers when we prepare clothes and make military uniforms?"

Recruiting female workers into workshops? Yinzhen was stunned when he heard this. It would be fine to let the bannermen enter the workshop. What kind of ethics would it be? It was not that there was no labor. He couldn't help but hesitate: "Does the emperor want the Eight Banners women to enter the workshop?"

Zhenwu said with a smile: "Yes, it's true that women are naturally superior to men for making quilts, military uniforms and ready-made clothes. Women in the Eight Banners are good at women, and it's a huge waste not to use them."

Who doesn’t know this? The question is how to make women work in the workshop. After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen said: “Emperor, if you want to make good use of the skills of the Eight Banners women, you can subcontract military uniforms and clothes to each company and openly recruit women to work in the workshop. It’s really awkward.”

"The ninth brother is not very familiar with it." Zhenwu said distractedly: "In Jiangnan, women are responsible for raising silkworms, spinning, weaving, tea picking, weaving and other businesses. Even in the fields, there are many women. In some places, there are even cases where the children are born and not married, and fools want to keep their masterpieces, all because men and women are accustomed to labor.

My Eight Banners women do not advocate charm and weakness. There are many people who show up in the streets and alleys, so why can’t they enter the workshop? Subcontracting each company is complicated and difficult to guarantee the quality, which is even more unfavorable to division of labor and cooperation, and the production speed is difficult to significantly improve. Now the new Navy Guard Army expands its troops too quickly, and it is difficult to keep up with the uniforms and clothes in time."

Yinzhen also knew that Zhenwu was talking about the truth. Nowadays, the new Navy Imperial Guards have been growing at a rate of 70,000 to 80,000 every year. The military workshop, which has been suppressed by more than 100,000 military uniforms a year, was breathless. However, recruiting women to work in the workshop is a big deal. If one is bad, it will be a huge place for thousands of people to come, and the whole country is in an uproar.

Of course no one would scold Zhenwu, the initiator. The only one who took the blame was Prince Rao, who was in charge of workshop affairs. He thought a little, then bowed and said, "The Emperor. The Qing Dynasty has strict hierarchy, comprehensive etiquette, and all words and deeds must follow various rules. Women are no exception. Women who show up on weekdays are all women from ordinary rural families. They cannot be generalized. I beg the emperor to think twice."

Zhenwu did not want to give up easily, liberating women from the constraints of ethics and family, which could save a lot of labor. Now he has vigorously expanded his army, fought on all sides, and immigrated and reclaimed land. What he needs is manpower. Moreover, this is also the general trend. Now that the military uniform is not as fast as possible, it is the best excuse.

After pondering slightly, he said: "Recruiting women into workshops is naturally to recruit civilians of the Eight Banners, or poor people or small merchants and hawkers. Can we still recruit nobles, officials, and gentry women? They don't look down on this little wage, right?"

Seeing that Zhenwu's attitude was not very firm, Yinzhen said boldly: "Emperor, even if he recruits civilian women to the workshop, it is still injustice and shocking, which is easy to cause criticism. Now that the bannermen are going to enter the military workshop on a large scale, I am really worried that one wave has not been settled, and the other wave has started. I beg the emperor to be careful."

It is indeed not too hasty, Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "Since that is the case, then subcontract the military uniforms of the Eight Banners families, regardless of their status, all tasks will be assigned. The military uniforms of the officers are packaged to the royal family, the royal family, and the military uniforms of the soldiers are subcontracted to civilians. Regardless of the banner or the people, those who are willing can apply for subcontracting. The processing of the wages of the processing is issued to prevent someone from embezzling them, which will affect the quality of the military uniforms of the clothes."

Seeing Zhenwu put his hand away, Yinzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."

The Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty conquered a great victory in Europe, defeated the Portuguese-British Combined Fleet in one fell swoop, sunk twenty ships, seized more than twenty large warships, and trade in Europe was launched. The navy of conquering Africa was about to set off soon, and the news of detouring Europe was soon published in the Beijing News.

The capital immediately became a boil, the entire inner city was full of joy, and all the children in the navy were excited and set off firecrackers to celebrate. The shops and shops in the outer city also set off firecrackers to celebrate. Everyone was happy and smiling in the streets and alleys. Although Europe was far away and European commerce had nothing to do with most civilians, every victory of the navy would bring unexpected benefits to the Qing Dynasty.

What is even more rare is that the Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty has not lost all its achievements since its establishment. Now it has won all the battles in the expeditions of Europe and the United States. This has made all the officials, gentlemen and people intoxicated with the arrogance and pride of the vast Celestial Empire. This is not only the victory of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, but also the victory of the Han people. Everyone knows that most of the Royal Navy of the Qing Dynasty are Han people.

The business of teahouses and guilds in the inner and outer cities of the capital has been booming these days, and today it is surprisingly hot. Every family is full, and the lobby is more lively than the bustling street market. The debate on the new policy a few days ago has been completely replaced by the victory of the Envoy.

Yinzhen naturally would not miss this opportunity. He immediately posted notices of subcontracting and rushing to make military uniforms everywhere. At the same time, he also recruited people to build a military workshop in the capital. As soon as the news spread, officials, gentlemen and civilians in the inner and outer cities signed up one after another. They had both money and money transfer and could support the navy. Why not?

Those who have close ties with maritime merchants rushed to all directions, rushing to the great victory in the navy's conquest of Europe, and the navy that conquered Africa was about to set off, and the news that it was about to detour Europe was spreading non-stop.

Now, the scope of maritime business in the Qing Dynasty is basically stopped in Nanyang. Following the navy to open European routes is an extremely rare opportunity for maritime merchants. Now the routes for maritime foreign trade in the Qing Dynasty have basically been sold out. Even the Mughal and Persian Empire have been auctioned off. The only remaining ones are Europe and Africa, two continents that have not yet opened routes.

The maritime merchants are not very clear about whether there is huge profit in Africa's trade, but Europe's trade is definitely huge profits. This can be seen from the large number of European merchant ships going to the Qing Dynasty every year. However, they do not understand the situation in Europe. If they want to buy out the maritime trade rights of ports from various European countries, they must have a more detailed understanding of Europe. They cannot just stay on hearsay. They can follow the invincible navy to Africa. Surveying in Europe is naturally a great opportunity.

However, no matter how fast the horse is, even if it is eight hundred miles, it is not as fast as the pigeon. The officials who know the existence of the pigeon naturally know that time is precious and have long begged the thirteenth county prince Yinxiang to use the pigeon letter to spread it to all directions.

For Europe and Africa, these two pieces of fat meat were determined to win, and immediately heard the news and organized ships, crew members and sailors to carry goods to Karopa. They all worked hard on the sea all year round and knew the importance of the wind direction, and they knew that the army was not a joke, and the navy would not deliberately wait for them.

The Qing Dynasty's Nanyang Province, the provincial capital, and the Karopa.

The Karoba Port is extremely busy at this time. Australian immigrants who were interrupted in summer to avoid the South China Sea storm are coming again. After a few days of rest, they will change boats and set off for their new hometown, Australia.

However, in two years, the port of Kaloba has flourished rapidly. With sufficient manpower, the grain and land of Kaloba has expanded the original port more than twice in just one year. Not far from the port is a large area of ​​newly built warehouses and temporary accommodation for immigrants, which are somewhat similar to stilt houses.

The newly ashore immigrants felt particularly novel about everything here, but they could not feel the feeling of a foreign land thousands of miles away. The people who were busy in the entire port were the people of the Qing Empire, with the same appearance and the same dress. Even the familiar accent could be heard anytime and anywhere. The only thing that made them feel a little strange was that the busy people on the pier had some braids.

After a short conversation, they learned that the people of Nanyang Province were allowed to leave no braids, and the land was divided by the head of the people, and ten acres of wasteland were given free of charge by one person. This made many people envious of the people of Nanyang. The land here was fertile and oily, and the climate was better than that of Jiangnan. It was ripe a year, so there was absolutely no problem.

Although I was envious, no one wanted to stay here. Compared with that, Australia's conditions were better. The court provided rice rations for one year. In addition, it also provided all the tools and oxen to be renovated. The landlords were mostly owned by private owners, and they could buy slaves to renovate the land. If there was no money, you could borrow from the "Four Great Hengs" at a low interest rate. For them, the temptation of landlords was really irresistible.

Waiting for ships, boring immigrants like to go the most is the newly opened port in the east. They watch the huge warships of the Qing Royal Navy fleet anchored in the port from afar. I heard that the navy won another battle in Europe, and this fleet was preparing to conquer Africa.
