Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

But he was not idle, so he took this opportunity to get the sugar out.

When the sea ban is lifted in the future, large quantities of sugar will be dumped out, and making money will be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

Now the steam engine has been produced, and there are machine tools sent by the system to assist.

All that remained was the design of the mechanical structure, which was no problem for the carpenters.

It is believed that it will not be long before a steam-powered system suitable for large treasure ships can be built.

Having made up his mind, Wei Wu didn't want to delay any longer and left the Institute of Science and Technology and rushed back home.

I originally wanted to find Manager Huang, but I found out that Manager Huang was recently busy renovating the Bihai Chaosheng Building.

I was also busy selling Menglan Jinqiang pills to the brothel madams in Qinhuai River. I had no time at all.

At this moment, Wei Wu really felt that he had too few people available.

In fact, the person is not important. What is important is that you have to be someone you can trust, otherwise there will be too much trouble later.

Curled up on the sofa, Wei Wu frowned and thought about how to solve the manpower problem.

Just at this moment Qingxia came in with a basin of water, ready to clean the house.

When he saw her appear, Wei Wu's eyes immediately lit up. Isn't this the ready-made candidate?

Before, Qingxia was injured and bedridden, and it happened that Manager Huang was transferred to Bihai Chaosheng Building.

During this period, she has been handling the household accounts and has done a pretty good job.

The real difficulty of making white sugar is how to make it. As long as the product is available, there is no need to worry about sales.

Just have someone you trust to oversee the accounts.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu waved directly at Qingxia.

"Qingxia, don't clean up yet. Come over here and sit down. I have something to tell you."

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Qingxia immediately put down the rag in her hand and quickly walked over to Wei Wu and sat down.

"Don't do the housework anymore. I plan to have you help me run the shop, just like Manager Huang."

Qingxia was still wondering what Wei Wu was going to say, but after hearing the whole thing, she was stunned.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit women from doing business, it was easy for women to attract criticism if they went out in public.

Zhu Xi proposed Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, and by the Southern Song Dynasty Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism had become Mahayana.

It was also under the influence of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism that women began to be restricted by various rules and regulations.

Women in the Sui and Tang dynasties had freedom of speech and could remarry, while women in the Northern Song Dynasty could file for divorce from men.

In the dynasties after the Southern Song Dynasty, the status of women became increasingly low.

They were bound by sayings such as "starving to death is a small matter, losing chastity is a big matter" and "the three obediences and four virtues".

Women were not allowed to remarry in the Ming Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty, they were not allowed to leave the house, and the status of women was extremely low.

Now that Wei Wu suddenly proposed that she become the female manager, she was inevitably a little stunned, but she was still tempted in her heart.

She was originally a girl from a wealthy family, but she ended up in the Jiaofangsi because of being implicated. She had already accepted her fate.

Whether you become a prostitute and be toyed with by others, or become a slave and be scolded and driven around, it is all determined by fate.

She had already accepted her fate, but she didn't expect to be sent to Wei Wu.

Although she was still a servant, she could feel respected and lived like a human being.

This is indeed the case, and the reason is very simple.

Although he came to the Ming Dynasty, Wei Wu's thinking was still that of modern people in later generations.

Although these servants in the house were slaves, in his subconscious mind they were in an employment relationship.

It's like the employment relationship between mediocre people, gardeners and chefs in wealthy families in later generations.

Naturally, they would not be like the nobles and wealthy people of today who treat their subordinates as non-human beings with a condescending attitude.

This is why Qingxia is more obedient and attaches more importance to rules than other maids.

Because of this respect, she felt that she should do her own thing well.
