After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

In April, the basic structures of Guangsha's various bases had been built.

The busiest place on the day of flower seed distribution was the employment offices in various counties of Guangsha, where job recruitment notices were posted.

"Growing herbs, ten cents a day, for both men and women."

"I didn't get the job at the cement factory before. Planting herbs is almost the same as farming. I have to sign up quickly."

"Ten cents, I can do this job."

"Why can't you do it? It will be too late if you don't sign up now. This is a popular job.

Now there are water wheels in the fields and oxen borrowed from the government.

It's not like before when it took several days just to plow the fields. Now there's not much work, and you can go to the factory to earn some money to supplement your family income when you're free. If you don't go now, there won't be a spot left."

"That's true. After Lord Mu arrived at Guangsha, what tools did we have to plant rice? We can just drive the cows to plant the seedlings. The boss would never lend us these things before."

"Oh no, my old employer will raise taxes. They don't have such advanced stuff."

"advanced?"

"The words I learned in literacy class are things like 'in the forefront'. You should learn them when you have time. Literacy class also teaches a lot about how to farm scientifically."

"Yeah."

"of course."

Groups of people came to the Employment Office, and soon the application forms for these positions were filled in with different information.

In addition to herbal medicine planting bases and red and blue flower planting bases, there are also rouge factories and flower dew factories that recruit more women.

Like the textile factories in Huangxian County, some careful and conscientious women are more qualified for these positions.

Yuehong has been following Mu Qing since Huang County. She started as a minor official and is no less capable than any male official in Huang County.

Mu Qing made him the city lord of Guangsha because he knew his coordination ability.

Shucheng was managed by Mo Xuzhi and Mu Shengda.

Guangsha City is managed jointly by Yuehong and Hu Miaomiao, who has been the magistrate of Huang County for a long time.

Hu Miaomiao has been the magistrate of Huang County for two years. Hu Miaomiao was transferred to Guangsha City to assist Yuehong, while the magistrate of Huang County, Mu Qing, was replaced by Xiao Xuyao, an official from Anping government office.

Xiao Xuyao ​​is a man of extraordinary talent and will be able to take on important tasks after some experience.

Mu Qing watched these three people grow up, and they were considered the team that Mu Qing had led from the beginning.

After being baptized by new ideas, they were more receptive to Mu Qing's ideas than some stubborn male officials who came later.

Since Yuehong and Hu Miaomiao took over as the main managers of Guangsha City, Guangsha has been criticized by sour scholars from time to time.

Like Guangsha and Huangxian, both are under Mu Qing's jurisdiction.

Especially in Guangsha, with Yuehong and Hu Miaomiao, more and more women leave their homes. Not only women go to work in factories, but even in various counties of Guangsha, there are outstanding women emerging.

They are either from wealthy families or rural women who have simply worked hard to learn through literacy.

Women can be seen everywhere in Guangsha.

This is exactly what Mu Qing expected. Guangsha itself does not have many workers, and these women are willing to go out. Why can't they hold up half of Guangsha's sky?

However, perhaps because there are more women going out, the conflicts between men and women in Guangsha are becoming increasingly acute.

It was not until Yuehong issued the recruitment requirements for the Xianglu Factory that this wave of opposing conflicts broke out completely.

"There are more women going out now. What can these people do? They are clearly taking our place."

"That's right. I was originally thinking about going to work, but who knew that I would go in with the daughter-in-law of the Lin family next door. She was accepted, but I was not."

"They are so weak, what can they do?"

"Yeah, they also said that it's better for women to do Rouge or something like that. What a bullshit. They don't do much work on weekdays."

"I've heard about it a long time ago. It's because our city lord is a woman. Since she's a woman, she will favor those women."

"Well said."

The various voices of opposition on the streets became louder and louder, and conflicts between men and women were aroused.

But some people who have learned to read do not agree with their views:

"My wife is very careful and skillful, that's why she was hired by the factory. How come she is not as good as you here?"

“The teachers in the literacy class have said that we have few people in Guangsha and cannot develop. If we do as you say, women will not come out to work and the factory will be short of people.

I don’t think Lord Mu will necessarily open a factory in Guangsha.”

"That makes sense. If the factory can't continue, I'll see where you can find some free work."

Before Anping, the main point of conflict between men and women was feudal customs.

The Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, and the principle that a woman must follow her husband after she marries, are their main arguments for criticizing women for going out to work.

They stubbornly refuse to let women in their family go out. Like most traditional men, they feel ashamed for women in their family to go out.

Such stubbornness caused them to be dissatisfied with the decrees issued by Mu Qing.

This phenomenon still exists in Guangsha, but the main contradiction is not here.

Rather, it is the ratio of male to female employees admitted into the factory.

Some men believe that women are inherently inferior to men and that the recruitment ratio is unfair.

They did not dare to make trouble in the government office, but privately they would restrict the women around them from going out and ridicule them verbally, causing many women who were recruited by the factories to back off.

Many women at the flower dew factory changed their minds at the last minute and refused to apply for the job.

The situation was serious. Yuehong inquired for a long time before she found out that it was these failed male workers who were responsible.

After she understood the whole story, she, like Mu Qing, did not talk about any big principles.

Yuehong directly issued an announcement.

"The recruitment exam is fair, just and open. If you are dissatisfied, you can come and challenge us."

As the official document was issued, more and more people paid attention to the matter. However, those who were not convinced and yet stirred up confrontation between men and women felt that they were superior to others just because they were men.

Everyone is confident in themselves.

They didn't care about their own level. Since the announcement said so, they thought they could use it to enter the factory. Soon, many men gathered outside the flower dew factory.

"I just don't believe there is no shady dealings. Why can they enter but we can't?"

"Yes, I want to see how capable they are."

There were many men who came to challenge.

Yuehong was not biased towards either side and brought over several women who had passed the recruitment but had not yet entered the factory.

There were girls aged fifteen or sixteen as well as married women.

The men who were waiting to show off their skills frowned when they saw that there were young girls among the female workers:

"A girl doesn't stay at home to get married, but runs away. If I were her parents, I would definitely lock her up at home."

Most of the people looked at the younger girls with disapproval.

Yuehong took a step forward, just in time to block their prying eyes:

"Since you guys are saying there is something fishy going on, let's have this match on the street."
