Chapter 640 Stand up straight and don't get down
"and also."

Bai Kou hasn't finished speaking yet, she just took a rest.

"What else?" Gu Yun became nervous again.

"Not happy?"

"No, no, you say, you say."

"Those boys are there to spread the news. They don't report what they know, and they don't know if they are involved in molesting women. They must be taught a lesson. If they don't want to do it, they will change. Some people are willing to do this. Errand."

"No problem, leave it to me. Anything else?"

"Not for the time being, let's do this first."

"Okay, I have a day's class tomorrow, and I'm free the day after tomorrow. I'll go over to settle accounts with them myself."

"Do what you say, but you are not allowed to raise the whip high and let it fall gently."

"Am I that kind of person?"

"You are a man."

"I am a scholar, I have a reputation, I understand etiquette and shame."

"Hey, Liang Zhongshan is still a Jinshi, a romantic and talented man with many beauties, it doesn't prevent him from doing those dirty things at all, the so-called beast in clothes is a metaphor for you scholars."

"I have no heart, I will not carry this big pot."

"You let go of your hands before you speak."

Gu Yun smiled unreasonably, not only did not let go, but also kissed first.

Bai Kou couldn't break free and had to let him go. She was tired after losing her temper, so she just pretended to sleep with her eyes closed, as if the son of the world was a human cushion.

Seeing that Bai Kou was silent, Gu Yun slightly adjusted her posture to better support her, but because it was too comfortable, Bai Kou actually fell asleep, Gu Yun saw it and smiled in his heart, With her lips pressed against her forehead, she let Bai Kou sleep like this.

In this quiet atmosphere, Gu Yun's previously stuck mind suddenly had an inspiration, and he knew how to write the article due tomorrow.

Bai Kou took a nap comfortably, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to push away Gu Yun's face, pat her body and stand up, tidy up her clothes, put on her shoes and go out without looking back, it's almost time to prepare dinner .

Gu Yun was neither angry nor annoyed, he brushed off the hem of his clothes with a smile, and called Qinglan to come in to wait on the pen and ink, and while the inspiration was good, he quickly wrote down the manuscript.

The next day, Gu Yun had a full day of classes at the mansion school, and Bai Kou was busy with housework in the mansion. Neither of them said a word to the outside world, but after the morning court, someone still quietly told the saint about it. The apprentice was sent to Yingtian Mansion to beat the board. The reason reported was public molestation of women. In addition, the guards of Duke Ye’s mansion sent him here. His ass and thighs were beaten to pieces, and he passed out after screaming for a while.

The sage was upset when he heard the reason, and Bai Kou was distracted from dealing with the moral issues of his subordinates even if he was running a good business, so he gave an order to Yingtian Mansion, asking the governor to tell Marquis Wu of Xilefang that if a man harassed a woman , whether it is a female worker in the factory or an ordinary resident in the workshop, as long as the current situation is caught, they are allowed to fight in the street with first-class punishment and ten boards.

Because Gu Yun and Bai Kou didn't go to Xilefang that day, they didn't know about the imperial court's order in time. After the day ended in a dull manner, Gu Yun and Bai Kou went to Xilefang early in the next morning. up.

Seeing the prince coming, everyone in the factory tensed up. All the stewards and deacons, including Mengmei, the steward who took care of the kitchen, canteen and laundry room, were called to listen to the son in front of the son. Gu Yun scolded them It's bloody, and not reporting what is known is tantamount to conniving at male workers to harass female workers. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, Gu Yun announced the rules of sitting with Bai Kou that he had discussed with Bai Kou the day before yesterday, warning them that this was not a threat.

When the stewards and deacons heard that they had been fined six times in a year and their annual rewards at the end of the year were cancelled, they hurriedly promised that this kind of thing would never happen again, and they would definitely watch over their workers.

If their annual reward catches up with the time when the factory's annual income is relatively good, at least they can get tens to hundreds of taels of silver. What's more, this is the first year of trial production in the factory. Shabby, risking others by losing their own money, stewards and deacons are not so generous.

At the same time, Gu Yun also warned Mengmei to keep an eye on her female workers, and to speak up bravely when she was bullied, and drive away the men who misbehaved in time. Why did this kind of thing start to increase after the trial production? The male stewards and the male workers have been covering up and protecting each other from top to bottom, which naturally makes those shameless people more daring. Fortunately, it is only harassment now, but if they continue to let it go, sooner or later the harassment will develop to the point of forcible molestation and rape. Shi Gongchang's reputation will also be damaged, and the imperial court will come to intervene, and the entire capital will know about the embarrassment.

The stewards responded politely, not daring to argue.

After Gu Yun lost his temper, he announced that two schools will be built in the workshop. Men and women must go to study, especially male workers. Only those who can read and write can be promoted to the highest chief in the future. However, studying is voluntary and not compulsory. , and they don’t need to pay for repairs themselves.

The stewards hurriedly nodded and agreed, Gu Yun then let them retreat, leaving only his few servants behind closed doors to teach them a lesson, not reporting what they knew, and acting recklessly.

Bai Kou also followed, and Mengmei went to talk to the female workers. After leaving the office area, they parted ways with the male stewards. The two of them walked towards the kitchen, chatting as they walked.

"The son came so fast, with his words, we girls can feel at ease now."

"If it wasn't for his one-day class yesterday, he would have wanted to come yesterday. The male workers are hired outside, but the female workers are all maids under his name. He has to protect his property from others, so I am really curious. How audacious to harass your male workers."

"Maybe it's called differently in the factory. It's not slaves and servants, but male workers and female workers. After a long time, they forget the difference in identity."

"Your female worker, the kitchen and cafeteria handyman earns [-] Wen a month, and is bullied by an apprentice with [-] Wen. It's really embarrassing."

"Girls are thin-skinned. Now that they know that they have the support of a prince, they will definitely not be so timid anymore."

"Next you have to do something."

"What? As long as I can do it, I will not hesitate."

"Unmarried girls are the important property of the prince. In the future, they will marry business partners and will not marry domestic servants. You must cultivate a circle and try to attract unmarried girls into it. If you don't want to, just forget it. Do it voluntarily, don’t force it, everyone has his own aspirations, and forcing it is meaningless.”

"What if there are repetitions? For example, you came in voluntarily at the beginning, then went out under the influence of others, and then changed your mind and wanted to come in again?"

"It's human nature to allow them to be capricious and hesitant. After all, they follow their parents and family into the name of the eldest son. Their concept of marriage is more influenced by the family, so they only attract people who are willing to use marriage to get rid of the family and have children. status girl."

"Understood, it's a small circle of girls forming cliques. We welcome those who are willing to join and play together, and we don't force them to stay if they don't want to play."

"Yes."

"It's easy. I don't have a few girls around me who can talk and chat together."

"Also, you have heard what the elder son said before. He wants to open a school, and both men and women should study. I took the opportunity to suggest that you must go to study with the girls. If you want to marry a business partner in the factory, girl You have to have specialties that make people interested, you go to an hour-long class after work in the evening, come back and do your homework seriously, and after a year of hard work, the gap between you and others will be revealed."

"Well, I will definitely take them there."

"Reading is also voluntary. Even if you are a girl in your circle, if someone finds reading boring, you don't have to force it. Even if no one wants to go, you have to go."

"Myself?"

"You are the manager. Of course, the manager must know how to read and write. Otherwise, how can you write to me? Do you have to wait for me to come every time before reporting something? What a waste of time? And writing letters is hidden. There is something wrong in the workshop, you Write a letter and drop it quietly into the big car dealership. For you, you have sent a letter, but for the car dealership, it is just one of a bunch of letters. They will collect them and send them to the government. You will get it, and you are not afraid of complaining openly and being retaliated by others for wearing small shoes."

Mengmei chuckled, "Okay, I'll go to school."

"The reason for letting you be the highest-level leader of the female workers is because your cooking skills are serious and trained after several years of rigorous training. You were bought with the most expensive money. No one has cooking skills like yours. I know that some people disapprove of you and use your past to sneer at you. If there are people who are cheap, don’t quarrel with them. You are in charge. Since they are unhappy, you have the right to directly Let them go, or let them quit their jobs, and then report the list to me, and I will send a car to pick them up and arrange other errands."

"Well, I ignore them. No matter how cheap they are, they are still under my control. With your support, I am not afraid of them."

"You are different from them. They have children from generation to generation, and they are slaves in their bones. They have knelt for generations and don't know what it feels like to stand upright. You are the same as me. Before being a slave, you were all Free people, that's why I tell you so much, and what you make me envious of is that you can redeem yourself and leave, and you don't have to rely on marriage to continue to live a life of relying on others."

Mengmei's lips trembled, her eyes widened, she looked at Bai Kou and couldn't say a word, but she felt a bit of anticipation for the future in her heart. With her current salary and various festival rewards, It only takes a few years for her to save enough money to redeem herself and regain her freedom.

Bai Kou looked at the gate of the kitchen compound that was already in front of him, turned his head and cast a glance at Mengmei, seeing the fighting spirit and determination in her eyes, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth.

"You are always better than those maids, stand up straight, don't get down."

Mengmei couldn't help but raised her head, straightened her chest, and nodded vigorously to Bai Kou.
