Lingqi directly gave a popcorn to his sister Xiaoxun: "You little person, do you still know these things?"

Qixun rolled his eyes: "Brother, I rely on my brain for a living. You made me stupid, and you support me?"

Lingqi chuckled: "Yes, there are ten of us brothers, and there are only three of you girls. Let alone one of you, I support all three sisters! In order to raise you beautiful girls, I have to work hard to earn money, brother."

ah."

Qixun felt that his brothers and cousins ​​all loved and cared about his sisters, were willing to work hard, and were down-to-earth people. Even if they were outside the spiritual realm of the fifth uncle's family, they all regarded their sisters as treasures.

Even if my three sisters cannot practice, life will not be bad with these brothers here.

They all say that as brothers, there will be some in this life but no next life, so let’s do it and cherish it.

After laughing for a while, Lingyu raised a question: "I wanted to ask before, but I was busy with farming and didn't have time to find out. Why do we rarely see young ladies going out in our village now? Also, right now, the weeds in the fields are growing like crazy.

At that time, how could they be older aunts and ladies? I just went out for a walk and didn’t see many young people.”

But Lingqi knew it and said with a smile: "Thanks to Xiaoxun, isn't the fourth aunt now in charge of the weaving and spinning? Many young ladies and daughters-in-law in the village have been sent to work in the weaving workshop by the fourth aunt.

.That’s why young ladies are rarely seen walking around in the village now.

Not only our village, but many other villages with good spinning and weaving skills have also been recruited. I heard that the income is not low. Now, the young ladies in several villages near us receive wages every month, and the marriage market

Very popular.

Also, the dim sum shop opened by the fifth aunt in the county has already opened in Qingze Fucheng. There are more than ten shops in total, and many young ladies have been hired. The accountants and stewards of each shop need to be literate. Over there at the weaving workshop

It's the same thing. Now in the county, all families who have the conditions send their girls to study and become literate.

As for Qingzhuang, several workshops in our village account for part of the labor force. In addition, the county government is building roads because of your donations. As soon as the busy farming season is over, the county government recruits workers, and now they are all repairing them.

There's a road, I heard that the wages are not low and the food provided is good, so why don't all the unemployed laborers in our village go to build the road?"

Qixun was very happy after hearing this.

The man didn't bother to ask, but the fifth aunt's pastry shop and the fourth aunt's weaving shop both used female workers. The fifth aunt's pastry shop was just a waste of time. However, the weaving shop required a huge amount of work, and there would be more jobs for women in the future.

What a good thing!

The economic base determines the superstructure. If a woman can support herself, her social status and family status will naturally improve.

Nowadays, if families with the conditions can voluntarily send their girls to school, this is progress.

Qi Xun said: "Why don't you go talk to the clan leader and grandpa that in our clan school, all girls of the appropriate age in the village are also enrolled in school. There is a paper mill in our village, and the paper used in the clan school only comes from the paper mill.

As for books, my family can donate them every year. For other expenses, if the family is unwilling to allocate funds, we can allocate part of my family's annual paper mill share.

Little Fifth Master, Brother Lingqi, do you think it can be done? If it is done, ask the old man to talk to the patriarch."

The two of them naturally agreed. Looking at the three little sisters in front of them, they knew the benefits of women studying.

However, Little Fifth Master said: "The patriarch will probably not object, but the parents of those girls may not be willing.

A six- or seven-year-old girl can do more housework, take care of her younger brothers and sisters, and go to school. Wouldn't it be a less labor force? Some families with better conditions may not care, but those who are already poor may not be willing.

"

Xiao Xun hummed: "Then let the patriarch of the clan set a rule. Anyone who doesn't want the girls in the family to study and read in childhood will not enjoy any of the benefits distributed by the clan every year.

We will not send any New Year gifts to each family during the New Year!

If there are girls of school age in the family who are not sent to school, all the men in the family are not allowed to go to school!

Life is not easy for a woman in this world, but if she can read and write, her path will be easier!"

Lingyu was holding the big dog Dan'er by the side and fanning him. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "Just pressing is not enough, you have to give him some sweetness.

From now on, whenever a literate girl gets married, the clan will prepare a dowry of ten taels of silver. The three of us sisters can give this money privately and make the clan famous. In any case, the public will come forward and give it directly to us sisters.

, be decent!

In addition, my mother has become a professor at the Guozi Academy and the Royal Academy. Didn’t my eldest grandmother just hold the running water banquet for three days? This matter is still hot in the village. I will send a transmission note to my father and mother later, so that both father and mother can

Write a letter to the tribe and tell them about the girl's enrollment in school. I think if things go this way, it will definitely happen!"

Lingqi smiled and said: "Xiao Wu is right. But we, as brothers, have to support whatever the sisters want to do. From now on, my shop will also recruit young ladies from our clan school. After all, there are female customers to entertain.

When I recruit people, I won’t accept anyone who can’t read or write. In addition, I’ll accept girls from other villages who want to come to study. In this case, sisters, can you still do it?”

Little Fifth Master nodded: "We have to give some rewards to those little girls who are good at reading. In this way, I now have some shares in this guy Lingqi's business, so I can always make some income.

From now on, in the annual evaluation, among the young ladies, I will award twenty taels of silver to the first place, ten taels to the second place, five taels to the third place. One place will be awarded to the first place, two places to the second place, and three places to the third place.

.how?"

Ling Qi said: "With so many benefits, why are you worried that families don't send girls to study? If you really want to study well, you can make more money than men."

After a few people agreed, they decided to go back and draft it in detail before talking to the clan leader.

Brother Monkey then asked everyone to eat quickly.

Big Goudan'er has been very happy for the past half day, and until now, he has neither cried nor made a fuss.

Lingsu thought about it for a long time, and he must be hungry, so he said that he would steam an egg custard for him, heat it up with some juice, and ask him to drink it.

When Aunt Lu came to deliver sweet potato stems, Lingyu hadn't brought him back yet. She was probably busy with lunch at the moment and hadn't come to pick him up yet. The little thing was so cute that people were reluctant to send him back.

Brother Monkey stopped Lingsu, saying that when it came to cooking, he was still faster.

From time to time, he brought food for the baby. Lingyu took it and fed the little guy while eating too.

Everyone chatted while eating, and also talked about the fifth master’s marriage.

Little Fifth Master said: "The old man said that I have now married and established a business. It is not enough to just have a house in the county. After all, the Yan family village is the root. I can't come back every year to worship my ancestors. I don't have a serious place to stay."

The old man asked me to buy a house in the village. No matter how big or small, there must be a home. If it didn't work, I demolished my old house and rebuilt it. I thought about it, and the old man was right.

I thought about it, why not buy the homestead next door to your house? There is a huge piece of wasteland next to your grandfather's old house. What do you think, I just buy that land?"
Chapter completed!
