Both Gao Hanwen and Gao Yuewei marveled at Yang Jinshui's precise oiling of the soles of his feet.
"Master Gao, please give me some advice. Our family really doesn't understand why there is such a big conflict because these are biological women, mothers and daughters. Now the female workers are unwilling to go back and suffer. He played a role in the performance of the Weaving Bureau last year. Our family cannot be such a bad person. But this matter is contrary to the Three Principles and Five Constant Rules. Therefore, our family does not dare to make independent decisions."
The woman is at home. Follow your father, and follow your husband when you get married. This is the etiquette of Ming society. And etiquette has always been the most important thing for the halfway emperor Jiajing. If this is not a good thing, I am afraid it will overturn. Especially since Xu Jie just came to power and has done good things recently, his momentum has become even stronger. It's hard to clean up the handle that was brought to the door.
The cost of showing mercy to the weak is a bit high.
Just when Gao Hanwen was about to apply oil on the soles of his feet, he suddenly looked up and saw Gao Yuewei's anxious expression.
Obviously, all the eunuchs who have no roots are willing to lend a helping hand in this matter. After all, I am also a scholar of the new century, so I am so confused. I am afraid that there will be no way to survive when these women are dragged back.
While Gao Hanwen was hesitating, dozens of women knelt down in the courtyard of the Weaving Bureau.
"Master Gao, please save the sisters. It's okay if you haven't been to the Weaving Bureau, anyway, women's lives are like duckweed. After arriving at the Weaving Bureau, especially after Eunuch Gao came, the sisters I enjoyed being a human being for a while. If I want to go back, I will be dead."
The leading woman was not afraid at all and even looked up at Gao Hanwen.
"Girl, why are you meddling in this matter? Dad asked you to do statistics and coordination, not to make trouble with you. You don't have this problem yourself. You don't have to turn over sesame cakes for two months, just You're messing around. Come here quickly."
On the other side, a man who looked like an old manager of the Weaving Bureau was scolding his girl.
For every dog-slaughtering person who is righteous, there are many scholars who are unfaithful. These words suddenly came to mind.
The woman's words awakened Gao Hanwen. This thing really doesn't mix well. What I saw was a weaving bureau, but now there are hundreds of manufacturing workshops in Hangzhou. If there were ten girls in each of these, thousands of lives would be lost.
This is really not something that can be fooled by sacrificing one or two.
The new mode of production will inevitably require a new way of life and moral order. Otherwise, the new mode of production will go back at any time due to the conservatism of an official.
With this realization, Gao Hanwen raised both of them to comfort him first. Then Gao Yuewei came to the study.
There is no way to solve this matter without comprehensive arrangements.
"What?" Gao Yuewei was so frightened that he immediately got up from his chair.
"Why don't you dare?" Gao Hanwen asked back.
"It's just that I have never had a decent female household in the Ming Dynasty. Today's female households are all sensual women, and they are of low status," Gao Yuewei further explained.
"It's not a female household for banquets. It's a private household. Regardless of gender, if you are willing to share the chores with the silver, you can set up a private household. For a period of five years, those who accumulate or prepay the Hangzhou handymen's silver for five years can You can apply for an independent household. Within a household, it is natural to listen to the head of the household. "But there is no precedent for this." Gao Yuewei still felt uneasy. Because no matter how much etiquette is concerned, the scholar will be ruined at best, but he, the eunuch, will be killed immediately.
"Yes, there were quite a lot of female households in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Southern Song Dynasty use half of the country to collect taxes to support the fight against the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia for more than a hundred years."
Gao Hanwen looked confident. He did know that there were female households in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't know where the information was. First, stabilize Gao Yuewei.
"Okay, Mr. Gao, you are my family member. If our family trusts you, we will risk our lives to accompany this gentleman once." Gao Yuewei was born into a real poor man. Who would take the initiative to go there unless he was so poor that he had no choice but to do so? That knife. After receiving more than 20 years of orthodox Confucian education, how could I not feel compassion? This time it was considered a risk.
