Chapter 113 The relationship between men and women
Everyone smiled happily and held the silver in their hands tightly.
Song Tianming then asked the clerk to register the name tag for everyone, and then said, "You can keep the money and deal with the family affairs. Within three days, you will still be in Pinxiang Pavilion. As long as you come back, you will be considered my Song's person."
Jiang Yu leaned over and whispered: "Sir, there are so many ten taels of silver, aren't you afraid that they will run away with the money at that time?"
Song Tianming replied with a smile: "If ten taels of silver can allow me to see a person's true face and not be harmed, then the money will be worth it."
Jiang Yu knew it.
This is also a test for Song Tianming to these people.
If someone is willing to be rich, he will probably never find anyone else when he goes out, so he will not be able to investigate his background again.
If they really want to do things under Song Tianming, ten taels of silver can allow them to settle their homes well, so they will be more dedicated to their work in the future!
No matter how you look at it, Song Tianming won’t lose!
After registering the name, someone asked, "Sir, you just said that you want us to move to Xiahe County, where will we live?"
This is indeed a problem. Song Tianming had also thought about whether he would buy some houses in the county town for them to live in.
The guy who works in the shop workshop has no problem living in the county town.
But now it is a bit inappropriate for these private soldiers to let them live in the city.
Private soldiers must be trained afterwards, including some outdoor training and weapons and equipment. The city is too small and cannot find a suitable camp.
Song Tianming told this question and gave it to everyone to brainstorm.
Compared to him, an "outsider", the soldiers who have lived in Xiahe County for many years have given a good idea.
On the official road leading to Dongpan Township in the county town, there is a small hill called Baojin Mountain, and there is an abandoned village called Baoshangou. Before, because of bandits in Nanshan Township, the villagers had to move out, and Nanshan Township was gone.
Later, all the bandits in Xiahe County were scared away, and Baojin Mountain became an uninhabited wasteland.
However, the area there is very wide, not smaller than that in Dongpan Township, and the land is fertile. It is close to the tributaries of Nujiang River and has a large area of farmland surrounding it that is unsupported.
It is only more than ten miles away from Dongpan Township and the county town. It takes more than an hour to go. If you ride a horse and drive, you can get to these two places in half an hour!
It is most suitable to use it as a camp for private soldiers.
After hearing this, Song Tianming was also a little moved and decided to go on a field inspection in the next two days. If it is appropriate, go to the county government to buy the land!
He would not have thought that just such a simple idea would bring endless benefits to himself in the future...
In the next few days, Song Tianming and Jiang Yu were both busy.
Jiang Yu finally left Xiahe County, ran around Yangzhou, and led his personal guards to look for veterans of the rushing camp scattered everywhere.
Song Tianming, while looking for a suitable assistant among his existing staff, accelerated the opening of the bookstore and jewelry store.
There must be no way to arrange so many disabled veterans in the restaurant, so he can only find a way from these two shops.
Fortunately, he already has a complete plan, and now he just needs to speed up the process.
At the same time, he also took the time to take people to Baojin Mountain and Baoshan Valley.
As the veterans said, the place has indeed been abandoned for a long time. He wandered around the original site for more than an hour, but he did not find any trace of life.
Then, he led his men to Mount Baojin and overlooked the surrounding environment.
The mountain is not very high, he guessed it was not even two hundred meters away.
However, the plain at the foot of the mountain is quite vast, with a radius of twenty miles, and you can see the Nujiang tributary not far away on the mountain.
If it weren't for the bandits' trouble, there might have been a certain climate here.
Song Tianming was quite satisfied with this place. After returning to the county town, he immediately went to the yamen and submitted the document to buy the land.
The county magistrate naturally agreed immediately and quickly drafted the land deed, only symbolically collecting 100 taels of silver from Song Tianming.
For such a large area, the price of 100 taels of silver is no different from free gifts.
After choosing a camp for future private soldiers, Song Tianming returned to Dongpan Township, intending to recruit some people and build it there.
Although there are some houses left by the villagers of Baoshangou, they have been disrepair for a long time and cannot live in it.
Song Tianming planned to simply strip them all and re-plan them.
The house does not require thatch, all bricks and tiles are used!
When they heard that Song Tianming was going to recruit workers again, the men in the village who had no turn to go to work in the county town were all excited!
This period of time has made them feel awkward!
As soon as Cheng Susu and the other two opened the workshop, they were held in a very exciting way. The women in the village now had work and wages, and they were all very enthusiastic!
In addition, Cheng Susu and the others have high wages. It can be said that as long as the female worker working in the workshop is definitely the pillar of the family!
With money, the women's backs became hard, and their status at home also increased with the rise. They dared to speak loudly to the men.
Daqian has always been a man, so how dare women say that their husbands are a bad word.
But when we arrived in Dongpan Township, things turned out completely the opposite, and the women vaguely meant to replace the position of the men as the head of the family!
Seeing his wife making a lot of money outside, he could only watch, and the male authority was also challenged, so the men naturally felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, recently my wife kept saying things like "Women can support half of the sky" and "men and women are equal" to make their self-esteem have nowhere to rest, and their hearts are getting more and more angry.
Soon, someone started to cause trouble.
A woman scolded her husband at home because she was having a meal. The man picked up a stick and beat his wife hard, but she couldn't go to work the next day.
Similar things happened one after another to the female workers, and Cheng Susu and the other two couldn't sit still.
No one is a trivial matter, and there is no shortage of production capacity of these or two machines. However, the impact of this kind of thing is so bad that the female workers are panicked, and they are all worried that their husbands will suddenly get into something wrong, and they also fist and kick them up!
Zhou Yi is soft-hearted and thinks it is someone else's family matter and it's really hard to interfere, but Cheng Susu and Zhou Shuang think that the three of them must come forward to solve this matter!
So, after a female worker was beaten to the point where she was lying on the bed and unconscious, Cheng Susu and the other women mobilized everyone in the workshop, rushed to the female worker's home, and forced his husband to apologize to the woman.
The man saw so many people coming to his house with murderous intent, and woke up most of the wine. He ran to the old lady's house, begging the old man for help.
The old village chief was helpless and could only take him in, otherwise this man might be beaten to death by the angry women!
However, after this incident, the men's behavior temporarily restrained a lot, and at least there were no vicious incidents of domestic violence again.
But Cheng Susu knew very well that this matter was far from over, and this "uprising" was just temporarily suppressing the problem.
Song Tianming once told her more than once that when looking at things, you must see the most fundamental contradiction.
She thought for a long time and wrote a letter to seek Song Tianming's help, and finally came to a conclusion:
The current problem between men and women in Dongpan Township is actually the contradiction between the self-esteem formed by men for a long time and the desire of women to obtain a higher family status.
If you want to resolve this contradiction, you must make the relationship between men and women reach an equal level.
To put it bluntly, women cannot just make money, but men can also get the same opportunities.
This is true equality.
This is also one of the purposes of Song Tianming returning to the village to recruit workers.
As a husband, you have to help your wife solve the problem!
The news of Song Tianming coming back to recruit workers was spread by Cheng Susu early in the morning, so the men waited at the entrance of the village early on. When they saw Song Tianming's carriage and horses, they all came to meet them!
"Mr. Xiao Song, you're back!"
"Sir, we miss you so much!"
"Sir, I heard you are going to recruit workers again? Which shop is short of people this time? I can do anything!"
Chapter completed!
