No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

"Of course not, our little Guoguo is the best girl," Lin Mingyan answered her affirmatively.

A good girl is one who is kind and soft-hearted, and a good girl is one who is principled and hates evil.

No one can define what a woman should be like.

Obviously, a man's hatred of evil would be a highlight, but a woman with such a strong character would be criticized.

Others may have to submit to the eyes of the world, but Yaliqi does not have to, as she is the only legitimate princess of the Fourth Master.

Unless something unexpected happens in this life, no one can say a word to her.

When Yaliqi got her affirmation, her eyes lit up and stared at her with sparkling eyes.

"Mom, you are so kind!" She really didn't have any worries now.

Having already decided on something, with her mother's approval, she felt brighter.

Only then did she start to behave like a child and became curious about the women rescued by Mingchen.

"I heard from my eldest sister that my uncle rescued a lot of women this time. How are we going to place them?"

Lin Mingyan stroked her soft hair and said, "Mother supported your second uncle in building several factories, and these women all went to work as factory workers."

Of course, because of the rule that bannermen cannot do business, these factories are all state-owned enterprises.

Mingchen is the director of these factories, in charge of the workers in three factories.

The first one is the textile factory. Although the spinning machine has not yet been developed as advanced as the Jenny spinning machine, with Lin Mingyan's suggestions, productivity has been greatly improved.

The second is the soap factory, which is for the health of the general public. After all, washing thoroughly can always reduce a lot of germs.

The third responsible dental factory is responsible for producing toothbrushes, toothpaste, etc.

This was an idea that Lin Mingyan had had a long time ago, and he wanted to find an opportunity to build these factories.

Especially tooth tools, it is a very important factory.

It is well known that teeth affect a person's lifespan.

If you have bad teeth, your life span will be shortened, and bad teeth will affect your quality of life.

In this day and age, there are many people with bad teeth.

Rich people can also use tooth cleaning powder or green salt to brush their teeth.

For ordinary people, it is considered good if they poke it with a willow branch, and it is considered elegant if they drink some tea and rinse their mouths after a meal.

Even the Fourth Master didn't understand what Lin Mingyan did.

However, he supported it as he was looking for a place to accommodate the female workers.

After Lin Mingyan told Yaliqi about it, she became extremely curious and really wanted to see it with her own eyes.

Lin Mingyan promised: "What's the big deal? I'll let you try it when the time comes and work for your second uncle!"

The Fourth Master allowed girls to study in the upper study, so of course he would not object to this.

Not to mention that he actually likes to work at the grassroots level and do it with his own hands. For example, he has experienced plowing, planting sweet potatoes and even growing vegetables.

I think he wouldn't object to letting Yaliqi experience being a female worker, and he might even be eager to try it himself...

Mingchen turned a disaster into a blessing and got this job, which made both the Niuhulu Mansion and the Nian Mansion feel like New Year's Day.

I originally thought that this child was not interested in literature or martial arts, and was destined to be a rich and idle person in this life.

No one expected that he would have such good fortune today and get an imperial order.

The old lady was so happy that she drank a full bowl of bird's nest porridge every morning these days.

She kept praising her daughter: "Our Yue'er is so lucky~~"

After the old man retired, although his two sons were still quite capable, his daughter's marriage was somewhat affected.

Either you choose a man from a wealthy family, but then you can't be a clan wife, and you can only marry an incompetent man.

Either you choose someone who is capable, or you can only choose from small families.

Choosing the second master of the Niuhulu family is already the highest rank.

I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise now.

The family is strong and I am capable. It doesn’t get any better than this!

Of course, Nian Qiuyue was very satisfied, and she even started to help the factory.

After all, everything is still in the exploratory stage, and these female workers are illiterate, and some even have problems with comprehension.

Seeing Mingchen busy all day long, Nian Qiuyue volunteered.

"The Queen has entrusted you with such an important task, of course she hopes for quick results," Nian Qiuyue said, staring at Mingchen with burning eyes.

Mingchen took a sip of water and sighed: "I know that, but we really don't have enough manpower."

"Everyone said it was a good job, but when it came to me, not a single man was willing to take charge."

Of course, the factory cannot rely solely on female workers to do the work; it also needs roles such as management and accounting.

He has to manage three factories by himself and is simply too busy to handle it.

We are now recruiting people from outside. There are many people waiting and watching, but no one is really willing to come.

This is also a practical reason. Scholars are somewhat disdainful of working with women.

Not to mention, who doesn’t have a family background?

The wives and concubines at home are also worried about these men, as they are surrounded by women every day.

This is a bit difficult to handle.

Nian Qiuyue suggested, "Why not hire a teacher for them? We can train them from among these people and let them strive to become managers, accountants, or even go out to negotiate business!"

She didn't understand it before, but after interacting with Zhang Ruoyu, and seeing the Queen's actions, she finally understood that they were helping women to stand up.

As one of the luckier women, her father hired famous teachers to teach her since she was a child, so she should also contribute.

"That's a good idea, but..." Mingchen shook his head: "If they don't even want to come here to seek a job, how can they possibly come here to teach girls to read and write?"

Nian Qiuyue's little face lit up as she recommended herself, "What about me? Can I do it?"

"Ah?" Mingchen scratched his head, his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Sure, that's great!"

oops.

Why didn't he think of that?

If men are unwilling to teach, can't women also do it?!

He himself was not a pedantic person, and with Lin Mingyan's teachings and actions, he did not think that men were stronger than women.

The two of them shared the same ideals, so they hit it off immediately and decided on this matter right away.

Even the people in the Niuhulu and Nian mansions didn't know about it. They just thought that the two of them had a good relationship and that was why they were so close every day.

The Niuhulu Mansion felt that there was nothing wrong with the Manchus being pretentious. After all, they were an engaged couple, and there was nothing wrong with them getting along with each other.

As for the Nian government, they were even more happy to see it happen, and they didn't care.

When Mingchen and Nian Qiuyue set up the factory night school and began to recruit female teachers, they were dumbfounded.

No.

Are these two kids making such a big fuss?

But it was too late now. Mingchen had spread the word about the girls' school throughout the capital.

Educated women are also encouraged to go out of their homes to help other women.
