If Zhang Yan really sent these people back home, or placed them randomly in the territory of Lujiang, without the support of family and friends, they would inevitably spend the rest of their lives in countless blank stares and neglect.

Therefore, after contemplating for a long time, Zhang Yancai found a relatively suitable way to deal with it based on his more than 5000 years of historical experience.

That is to directly incorporate these women into a series of industrial systems under their own command as workers.

You know, whether it is China, which has lasted for more than 5000 years, or the West, which has been disintegrated and flourishing, when was the first time when the status of women was significantly improved?

If you want to find an accurate answer, abandon a series of symbolic behaviors. In addition to the early matriarchal clans, such a situation may also appear in the late industrial revolution in the West and the establishment of the New China People's Republic in [-]. after.

In the late period of the industrial revolution, the proportion of agricultural production in the labor production behavior of the whole society dropped suddenly, and industrial production industries such as textiles and chemicals began to show their prominence in the social structure, and women thus obtained almost equal positions with men for the first time. Financial ability.

Not long after, in Eastern China, the society as a whole, under the leadership of a great man, quickly recognized the dominant position of women in light industrial production, and even put forward the slogan "Women hold up half the sky".

Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, if we really want to talk about the improvement of women's social status, it happens to be stuck in an important period of social industry transformation on both sides. During this period, women's "economic status" began to grow rapidly, and for the first time in personal income In fact, it can be compared with the man who is the "head of the family".

In other words, the promotion of women's social status stems from the promotion of their status in the entire socio-economic structure.

That being the case, the best way to protect the rights and interests of these young women is naturally to give them a stable source of income from the government's perspective, and through such behaviors to recognize their social status in disguise.

As long as these women can obtain a stable source of income, the ones who really control their destiny are no longer allocating survival resources to their fathers or husbands or sons, but themselves.

In this way, after education is gradually popularized in the future, even if these people have experienced very unfortunate experiences, with the support of stable income, they may not be able to live with dignity in Lujiang according to their own ideas.

If at this time, Zhang Yan forcibly sent them back home and let them live with their original family members, then their family members would only regard these women as a burden in disguise.

……

"Department of Industry, it's time for you to play your part."

Chapter 5 The media is the mouthpiece of the government

"Well...then, Department of Industry, please pass on my order. From now on, Lujiang will set up a separate textile factory in addition to the original chemical fertilizer factory, which is specially used to produce silk and cotton and linen textile products, and it will still be under the jurisdiction of the Department of Industry. .”

"Like the chemical fertilizer factory, the wages, clothing and food expenses of all the workers in this textile factory are directly provided by the Lujiang government, and the silk and cotton cloth and other products produced belong to Lujiang, and trade with surrounding towns through the existing channels of Lujiang. .”

"As for the women brought back by General Xu Huang..."

Turning around and taking a look in the direction of Xu Huang and Pei Yuanshao, Zhang Yan nodded slightly, then turned to give instructions to the officials of the Lujiang Industry Department.

"These women will all belong to the textile factory in Lujiang and be hired as the first batch of female workers in the factory. The wages and treatment should be the same as those in the previous chemical fertilizer factory."

"If I remember correctly, the weaving technology of our big men is quite mature now. These girls are all in their teens. Even if they are not proficient in some simple weaving techniques, they must have dabbled in it."

"The Department of Industry will be in charge of this matter. They will purchase and produce a batch of hand spinning wheels, and then, according to the current situation in Lujiang, issue production tasks to these female workers every ten days."

"At this point, you should already have experience in a fertilizer factory, and you must be very familiar with it. Then I won't say more, and you can deal with it as you see."

Roughly shared his thoughts with everyone present. The main reason why Zhang Yan did not choose to send these people away was because these girls had been hurt more or less. If they were sent back directly, they would definitely be punished by their family and neighbors. Squeeze out, and secondly, they intend to directly use these people as their own workers to develop a local handicraft industry in Lujiang.

As we all know, if we simply talk about the technology of light industrial production, the big man is actually already among the best in the entire East of the Old Continent, and even in the entire world.

However, limited by the relatively backward feudal system and the interference of the aristocratic family, most of the products or values ​​produced were controlled by the aristocratic family and the landlord class, and the government as the ruler did not get much benefit from it.

This · kind · phenomenon · almost · almost · can · can · say · is · capital · capital · class · class · in · development · development · early · stage · poison · harm · executive · government · person · with · The inevitable result of the government.

In order to solve the adverse effects brought about by this situation, Zhang Yan intends to reduce the voice and social status of the entire capitalist class in China by nationalizing capital.

If Zhang Yan is really asked to find a solution that can quickly solve the aristocratic family and the landlord class, in fact, Zhang Yan, who has not read the original text of Das Kapital, does not have much confidence and certainty.

But even so, he was able to solve this problem in other ways——

Also·that is·will·self·represented·represented·government·government·lower·to·capital·capital·family·equal·level·of·capital·capital·level· On the surface, through the establishment of a large number of state-owned factories and farms and pastures, the dividends brought by capital are directly reflected on the national level he represents.

Capitalists exploit people's fat and people's anointing?

Then, on behalf of the government, I will join in and directly "exploit" these working class who cannot be used as agricultural productivity at the national level, and try to put an end to the "middleman earning the difference" the presence of behavior.

Capitalists make money but don't feed back society?

Similarly, replacing it with Zhang Yan, who can directly represent the will of the current Han government in Lujiang, will naturally not have this problem.

Whether it is the previous chemical fertilizer factory or the silk factory this time, on the one hand, it solves the problem of resettlement of these homeless women, and on the other hand, it can also be used as a test case to try to promote the development of the existing economic system in Lujiang. .

At the same time, this behavior of directly employing women as workers with completely equal status to men can serve as a benchmark for the initial equality of men and women, and prepare for Zhang Yan's future promotion of education.

……

"Then, regarding these women...there are probably several hundred of them, and the resettlement of these people will be carried out in this way first, do you have any questions?"

After roughly ordering some important points, Zhang Yan pursed his lips and looked at the officials of the Industry Department who were in charge of this aspect, and the other party naturally readily agreed.

Nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Yan saw that there was nothing wrong with the other party, and the placement of the prisoners of war and the rescued women had been settled, so he let out a sigh of relief and focused on the only one in the hall at the moment who still had some problems. idle officials.

These were the officials from the Propaganda Department who had come with Ye'er at the very beginning, but were not assigned any tasks.

As taught in textbooks, what is media?

The media is the mouthpiece of the government and a tool to help government agencies speak out to the people.

Zhang Yan is planning to use the officials of the Propaganda Department to publicize his extermination of Shanyue in a way that is most beneficial to him.

……

"Then, the tasks of the Department of Civil Affairs and the Department of Industry have already been assigned, and the next step is the Department of Propaganda."

"This time, my request to you is very simple, and that is to convey the events that happened during this period to the ears of all the people in Lujiang in the most original and purest way, and let them know that during this period of time, the government of Lujiang What kind of things did they do in the time they didn't notice."

After taking a sip of water, Zhang Yan ordered to the last official present:

"I want them to know the danger and destruction of Shanyue; I want them to know the victories of our Lujiang army; I want them to know that our government has the ability to protect the people and the intention to do so."

"In addition, I want to let them know about the establishment of the two factories under the Ministry of Industry, know the future fate of these rescued women, and help those who want to reunite with their families to contact their families. "

"All in all, during the period of time to come, especially during the period of the Moon Festival, which represents family reunion, I want to let this matter be my act as our government. Give gifts to the common people, and let all the common people know these things."

"do you understand?"

Quickly gave instructions to the few people present. Although limited by the occasion, what Zhang Yan said was very official and very cryptic, but the officials of the Propaganda Department were all from aristocratic families, and everyone was already shrewd. Not human.

After Zhang Yan's words, they naturally understood what Zhang Yan meant——

Praise.

Praise the government for what it has done.

scold.

He glared at Shanyue's cruelty and viciousness, and refuted it with all his might.

Although this sounds a little harsh, I have to say that supporting the government you belong to through public opinion is an obligation that a media should fulfill. The officials of the Propaganda Department have already understood their future since the first day they entered the department. It is precisely this kind of behavior that my job is to deal with.

Not to mention, Zhang Yan's treatment of Shanyue this time is for the benefit of the people of Lujiang, and he has done a good thing, so he should praise it.

Chapter 6 Army Traditions

Leaving aside the fact that everyone left one by one after taking orders, they started their day's work as a screw in the Lujiang government office.

In the room, Xu Huang and Pei Yuanshao, who had returned to peace, also saw that there were no outsiders in the room at the moment, and they cupped their hands and praised Zhang Yan.

"The lord is wise, the lord is holy!"

"If you deal with it in this way, under the combination of kindness and power, the people of Lujiang will definitely obey you with one heart and one mind."

"In this way, no matter what government orders you will implement in Lujiang in the future, or if you want to recruit troops to expand the army, it will be a matter of ten fingers, and you will be sure!"

Smiling and congratulating Zhang Yan, Pei Yuanshao saw that Zhang Yan was not greedy for petty gains like most high-level officials in this era, and did not treat the people under him as human beings. I feel relieved a lot.

Different from scholars like Chen Deng and Mi Fang, and even different from wealthy generals like Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Xu Huang, Pei Yuanshao came from the real lower class, and his attitude towards ordinary people is naturally a little different from others .

Similarly, he understands better than the other generals under Zhang Yan what a real low-level commoner cares about the high-ranking prefect.

It's not whether the prefect has a noble enough background.

It is not whether the prefect's words and deeds conform to the behavior standards of a rich and noble family.

Different from what all the children of the aristocratic families above care about, as the bottom of this era, in fact, the people of today's big Han people only care about whether the county magistrate and prefect above them can distinguish between good and evil.

It is true that the distinction between good and evil is easy to say, but it is very difficult to implement in practice.

But even so, you can't make an absolute distinction between good and evil, so you must achieve relative rewards and punishments.

To put it simply, if I have been wronged, no matter how difficult it is, there must always be a channel for me to avenge it.If someone has committed evil deeds, it’s fine if they can’t be held accountable, but if they can be held accountable, the people still hope that in the environment they live in, all wicked people can be punished accordingly.

After all, such an environment also means that, as the bottom of the entire society, they can barely survive in such a place.

It can be said that Zhang Yan divided all the Shanyue captives into three classes and punished them separately, which not only showed his attitude of not being punished for the evil deeds of the wicked, but also showed that he was a relatively "reasonable" official, even if Most of the aristocratic families might think that this kind of behavior like Zhu Jingguan is a bit cruel, but ordinary people like Zhang Yan's attitude.

Speaking from the official level of Lujiang this time, he directly stereotyped Shanyue, who was originally defined as a minority force, as a thief. It can be said that he helped the people in Lujiang who had been oppressed by those Shanyue for a long time, even from poor families.

With the worries in his heart gone, Pei Yuanshao naturally relaxed his mind and began to think about other things.

……

"That, my lord, look..."

"Once Shanyue is removed this time, your reputation in Lujiang will definitely reach its peak in a short period of time, and the people of Lujiang will also be grateful to you and recognize you."

"Look, my lord, why don't you just take advantage of your fame this time and recruit a group of soldiers in Lujiang?"

"It's not that my old Pei is greedy, it's just that Gongming and I went south to suppress the bandits this time. Although we achieved a lot of victory, we also lost a lot of soldiers."

"This establishment is fixed. Now there are only seven or eight people left in a platoon of 12 people, and the shortage of a hundred people in a brigade may reach 30 to [-] people..."

"My lord, you don't know, this time even the battalion commander of the second battalion of Sword and Shield Hands died in battle. He was a general at the level of a thousand-man superintendent, and now he is still being replaced by the former deputy battalion commander Shen Quan..."

"Look, when will we fill up these gaps?"

……

Hehe smirked and scratched the back of his head. Although Pei Yuanshao had tried his best to express his thoughts around the bush, his character was like that, and the word euphemism naturally had nothing to do with him.

Two [-] ⑥ ㈧ ㈤ ㈥ ○ five three

No, before a few words passed, he just wanted to see it, and began to urge Zhang Yan to make up for the lost soldiers.

……

"Oh, old Pei, look at you!"

"What did I think it was? It turned out that a few soldiers were lost under my command, so I was so distressed that I wanted to make it up for you as soon as possible?"

On the other side, Zhang Yan suddenly realized when he heard the words, he smiled and clapped his hands, reached out and pointed in the direction of Pei Yuanshao.

Indeed, it is reasonable for Pei Yuanshao to be eager to replenish soldiers at this moment. After the battle of Qianshan, although most of the soldiers have been tempered by iron and blood, and the professionalism and tradition of the army have skyrocketed, their establishment often It was also greatly affected, and the number of people lost in the original team of more than 2000 people has reached the level of more than [-] people.
