The girls smiled at each other, then hugged Mingyue's arm and acted coquettishly.
Mingyue just smiled when she heard this, and asked Luwu to take the valuable gift to apologize to the master.
After all, she had to rely on Lu Yunqi and others to do the work!
In the eyes of the gentleman, women are inferior to men.
So if Yunjiao and the others don’t go to study, the teacher can just ignore it.
But if Yunqi and the others stopped reading, the teacher would probably be so angry that he would pull out his beard.
It’s time for the world to change.
Therefore, young men who want to change the world should also know how difficult it is for women.
Before coming to the Lu family shop, Lu Yunqi and other young men thought that Lu Yunjiao and the others were running outside all day long, wasting their time and doing nothing.
But when the number plates with the basic information of various women were brought to them, they realized what a big thing they were doing.
As smart as Lu Yunqi was, he was the first to notice Mingyue's intentions.
While the other sisters and brothers were busy sorting, Lu Yunqi secretly found Mingyue.
Mingyue, who was taking a break from her busy schedule, thought he was here to catch her to work. She even thought of an excuse, but she didn't expect to hear Lu Yunqi say in a positive tone: "Sister, do you want to change the status of women in this world?"
Mingyue put down the book in her hand and looked at him in surprise: "You are quite smart."
Lu Yunqi's eyes fell on the book with "The Talented Man and the Pretty Lady" written on it. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, then he looked away and shook his head: "Sister has never concealed her purpose. The reason why men can become the head of a family is only because women rely on them for money. If women can support themselves, they naturally don't have to look at men's faces to act. When women and men have the same abilities, they will naturally have the same rights and status."
Mingyue just smiled and said nothing when she heard this. Some of what he said was right, but some of it was just fantasy in the Qiyuan Dynasty.
And it is not just the Qiyuan Dynasty. Even in some modern dimensions that claim that men and women are the same, gender equality is just superficial. The fact that it is always men who sit in high positions and have the right to speak is enough to prove everything.
However, Lu Yunqi didn't seem to care about Mingyue's silence, and just said to himself: "It's just that the effect of sister's actions is too slow, why not give it a try..."
As Lu Yunqi spoke, Mingyue's eyes became brighter and brighter.
But in the end, she was still a little puzzled: "I will try all these methods, but Yunqi, why are you willing to let women take away the rights enjoyed by men? You should know what the result will be."
Lu Yunqi's eyes were slightly wet, but his tone was very soft: "I just don't want to see any more girls drowned at birth. They are so innocent and pitiful, and they have never seen this world properly."
Mingyue sighed in her heart, "Yunqi, study hard. Only when you are in a high position can you have the right to speak. Only then will you have the right to decide the fate of others. But I hope that you will never forget your original intention at this moment."
Lu Yunqi nodded solemnly. During the years in Hejia Village, he had seen too many girls drowned, he had also seen his father trying to secretly drown Xiaohua, and he had also seen the worried eyes of his mother when she died.
He will never forget, and never dare to forget.
To Mingyue's surprise, other young men came over soon.
The young men unexpectedly all agreed to make women's lives better. This was probably why they were chosen by Mingyue. They were kind-hearted and would think for women!
*
Even with the help of the teenagers, it took the Lu family shop eight days to post the list.
The women on this list were assigned to different positions according to their abilities.
Excluding the majority of women who could not meet the working hour requirements, had inappropriate behavior, or were too old or too young, 40 percent of the women were admitted.
But Mingyue knows that even though there is only 40% now, once these 40% of people have tasted the sweetness, they will attract the other 60% of people to come in.
They were unable to get away from taking care of household affairs. When those women found out that the women who were chosen earned more money than the men in their families, they naturally got away from it.
Of course Mingyue also made it clear in advance that the first month was a probation period. Although the monthly salary would be paid as usual, there would also be an assessment. Those who failed the assessment after the period would not be kept in the shop.
After all, she would not do charity blindly. Kind people are easily morally kidnapped by others. Mingyue understands this truth.
These days, the streets of Lin'an County are bustling like never before. Many women can be seen walking on the streets every day, making men occasionally feel as if they have entered a country of women.
When the list of Lu's shops came out, the shops were surrounded by women.
Some women burst into tears of joy when they saw that they were on the list.
Some women also asked the people around them in a distraught manner why they were not included.
There were also women who failed the selection and said stubbornly that they didn't want this job and that women shouldn't show their faces in public.
But Mingyue didn't really pay attention to these things. At this moment, she was assigning tasks to the nine golden flowers of the Lu family!
"Yun Man is responsible for drawing the design drawings for the clothing store, and Yun Jiao is responsible for making the first version of the samples. Doesn't Yun Jing want to be a storyteller? Now I'll give you a job of telling a story, mainly about... this aspect. Yun Shu is good at writing, so he can help Yun Jing finish the content! Yun Yan is calm and steady, and Yun Ji is introverted. In a few days, I'll invite those young ladies in the county to visit us, and you two can make good friends with them. Yun Meng and Yun Shuang..."
Because Mingyue understands the girls' wishes and personalities, she gives them things that interest them and are helpful to their dreams.
Mingyue also mentioned rewards. For example, if the Yunjiao and Yunman teams completed the task, one would be rewarded with a top-quality embroidery needle and thread, and the other would be rewarded with a painting by a famous master... In short, these were all gifts that touched their hearts.
Under the double incentives, the girls were actually very happy to serve.
Mingyue herself became even busier as she had to keep an eye on everyone's progress at the same time.
With the opening of the first women's factory in Lin'an County, the men in Lin'an County finally began to feel uncomfortable.
Especially those men whose families had women working in factories, they all suddenly became useless. They couldn't find anything at home, the housework was piled up and no one was doing it, and even the food they ate didn't taste good.
On weekdays they still think that being a woman is easy and they only need to cook and wash clothes at home.
As a result, when they were faced with these trivial matters, they found that they were simply too busy to handle them.
The men wanted the women to come back, but the tempting monthly salary made them stop.
What's more, the women who have tasted the sweetness don't want to go back!
After all, the factory provides meals and accommodation, and the young master occasionally organizes raffles as a benefit, with each draw giving out several taels of silver. Only a fool would go home and work himself to death and still suffer the humiliation!
