Chapter 281 It's really hard for her
Yan Qufeng received the spinning wheel drawing from Ruan Qingqing and narrowed his eyes. "What new tricks is she going to come up with?"
"Didn't the tycoon make a law specifically to protect women, children and the elderly? I guess she's still worried. It's said that it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Once these spinning wheels come out, some women in the three cities can participate in spinning and weaving, so that they can earn some income."
Yan Jiuchen guessed.
Yan Qufeng thought of Ruan Qingqing's impassioned speech at the conference table, and his mouth twitched. "It really could be something she could do. Juzi, she has really grown up. Not only has she solved everyone's food, clothing, housing and transportation problems, but she has also grasped the conflicts among the people." He sighed, "If this continues, Mo Liang and Yun Qing will probably be uneasy."
"Needless to say! The master is so capable, sooner or later he will lead us to unify the world!" Yan Jiuchen said confidently.
Yan Qufeng threw the wooden board in his hand at him, "You are so bold!"
Yan Jiuchen quickly caught it and said, "Following the master, I am not afraid of not being able to think, but I am afraid that my vision is too small!"
"You kid!" Yan Qufeng was choked and speechless. He then squinted at his tall and strong son and said, "If she wasn't the eldest master's sister, maybe she would have been your wife. Do you have any regrets?"
Yan Jiuchen thought it through very thoroughly. "What's the regret? Working under her can both improve my skills and see the world. Compared to my husband, I prefer this situation now."
"It's okay for you to think clearly, kid! Some people are suitable to be watched from afar, and some people are suitable to quarrel with you all your life. Don't make a mistake, otherwise we will be the only ones who suffer!" Yan Qufeng couldn't help but sigh.
"Got it, Dad!"
"What are the father and son talking about? They were so engrossed that they didn't even hear me knocking on the door." Ming walked in with a mung bean drink.
"Dad said he wants to quarrel with you for the rest of his life!" Yan Jiuchen took his share and left immediately.
"You damned son, are you itching for trouble?" Yan Qufeng wanted to find a handy tool to beat him up.
"You're already old, but you're still so hot-tempered!" Ming pulled him and scolded him.
Yan Qufeng immediately stopped his attack, but he kept muttering, "This little bastard is getting more and more unruly. If I don't teach him a lesson, he won't even know who is whose father!"
"You are getting more and more angry. Isn't it obvious that he is your son? Do you want to compete with your son for who is better?" Ming poked him angrily.
With his wife standing by his side, Yan Qufeng felt relaxed all over. He turned his face to the side and snorted coldly, letting his son go.
"Come and drink some mung bean drink to get rid of the heat."
"Don't send it to me next time. If I want to drink, I'll go out by myself. It's hot and stuffy here, and your health isn't that good." Yan Qufeng took the mung bean drink and said with concern.
"I'm fine, and I feel much better now. By the way, I just saw Linlang sending you a letter, but what big moves has the master made?" Ming asked curiously.
"Let me quickly build thirty spinning wheels. I guess you want to start a spinning and weaving boom in the three cities." Yan Qufeng expressed his guess.
Ming was stunned when she heard this. "A few days ago, I heard that she stood up for a woman and severely punished her mother-in-law and husband."
"I know about this. It's because the mother and son are not human. They treated the woman like an animal and beat and scolded her at every turn. This time, she was almost beaten to death. It happened that the master passed by and saved her."
Ming nodded, "This world is always a bit harsh on women. It's rare that a great man would help protect us."
"Isn't it? For this purpose, she also formulated relevant laws to protect women, children and the elderly. You don't know that the way she argued in the meeting was especially like a... warrior! Yes! A warrior fighting for the interests of vulnerable groups!" Yan Qufeng nodded.
"Why does a big shot like her need to argue with you personally for such a matter? Shouldn't you just respond directly?" Ming was a little surprised.
"The emergence of a legal provision is not as simple as you think. Once it is formulated, it needs people to supervise and enforce it, otherwise it will be just an empty order. This will greatly affect the prestige of the city lord himself in the three cities, and it will be a challenge to other legal provisions that have been formulated." Yan Qufeng explained in detail.
Ming quickly grasped the key point, "You are unwilling to devote your energy to supervision and execution?"
"Whether it's children, women or the elderly, there are men in each family to take care of them. Why would we need to do that? Besides, we are all very busy. How can we have the energy to take care of the affairs of ordinary people?"
Yan Qufeng said as a matter of course.
"A responsible man who loves his family will respect the elders and take care of the young, and love his wife. But if those selfish men are not punished, will they respect the elders and love the young and love their wives? I'm afraid that those vulnerable people are lucky to be alive! On this point, I agree with Juzi's approach."
Ming said angrily.
"Madam, don't be angry! Didn't I agree with it? Haven't the rules proposed by the boss been posted to the world?" Yan Qufeng coughed and coaxed.
Ming glared at him fiercely, "That's almost right!"
On the other side, Ge Lao took the blueprint handed over by Linlang, and his pair of snow-white silkworm eyebrows trembled. "Why did the master ask us to make this? To skin pigs? At least three hundred? Are there so many wild boars to skin?"
Yue Linlang shook her head. "I don't know either. She also drew a lot of plants similar to ramie and asked Wushang to find them, saying that they would be very useful. Oh, she also drew a loom for Master Yan and asked him to make thirty looms as soon as possible."
Ge Lao stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Could it be that the city lord wants to engage in textile production? That makes sense. The thing on the blueprint should be the skin and stem of ramie."
"Ah? But each of us has a lot of things to do, who has the time to do mending?" Yue Linlang asked without hesitation.
Old Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not us who should do it. The master should let the common people do it. These are all light jobs. If I'm not mistaken, this is a job that the master specially tailored for the women of the three cities."
Yue Linlang suddenly remembered Ruan Qingqing's melancholy look under the moonlight that night.
She said that these explicit laws alone are useless, they can only serve as a deterrent but not a fundamental role.
She said that women should be able to earn as much money as men. In this way, they would not be dispensable at home, nor could they be abused at any time and anywhere!
She said, I am thinking of setting up some workshops, picking up some light work for women to do. By the way, we can also make a profit from it.
“But the master clearly told us to twist wool into yarn, and then weave warm clothes, and soon we will raise silkworms and reel silk.” Yue Linlang said dryly.
Old Ge glanced at her and said, "We will have to wait until autumn to trade wool with the people of Moliang, and we will have to wait until next year to raise silkworms and reel silk. Juzi is so eager to let the women in the three cities live with their backs straight. It's really hard for her to think of these things."
