Chapter 174 Where Can a Woman Stay? Jingguo!

In Jingguo, women can also be officials?

The Ji sisters could not describe their astonishment in words.

"Yes, wasn't there an imperial edict?" The clerk in the yamen said impatiently, "This is a special precedent, and Lady Liu is appointed as the first female official in Jingguo."

The Ji sisters and the maids were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Jingguo, it turned out to be like this.

There has never been a woman serving as an official in Chu.

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!

Even the Queen of Chu can't think of directing the government.

"How much does the emperor love her? The ministers didn't object?" The maid Xiaoyuan couldn't help but blurt out.

"How fresh, where did you come from? This happened a long time ago," the clerk in the yamen flipped through their franchise applications and said, "So you are merchants from Chu."

"Hey, including you, there were six groups of merchants from Chu yesterday who applied to join our Jingguo Royal Milk Tea Shop!"

The Ji sisters were immediately astonished.

In addition to them, there are other Chu people who also want to learn milk tea making techniques and open milk tea shops?

The two sisters looked at each other and saw the sigh in each other's eyes.

It's worthy of their Chu country!

There is a reason why the Chu people are richer than the Jing people. Chu does not exclude business. The court supports workers, farmers and merchants, and does not look down on or be arrogant to merchants.

Therefore, many Chu merchants are very good at doing business and have a good business mind.

Sure enough, many people who come to Jing country to purchase goods have a keen sense of smell and are interested in Jing country's unique milk tea and fried dough sticks business.

If this is opened in Chu country, it will definitely make money if it is the first to eat a piece of soup.

The two sisters Ji Chunyue and Ji Qiuyue are even more eager to move.

"So that you Chu people know that our Jingguo Queen is not a female official who relies on the emperor's favor." The yamen man was no longer sleepy when he said this.

"Empress Liu led the women to make winter clothes, which is the smallest thing. In addition, the Empress also invented military use..."

Ji Chunyue pricked up her ears when she heard about military use.

But the clerk in the yamen was sharp and shut his mouth, laughing, "We will not tell you Chu people the secrets of the Jing army."

The clerk in the yamen was very cautious and kept the key points secret, which made the Ji sisters and the maids feel itchy.

On the way back to the inn, the three of them couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.

"Why are you so mysterious? Miss, maybe it's just like in the opera, the fox is pretending to be powerful. The empress in the harem may be whispering to the emperor of Jingguo and taking credit for other people's achievements."

"Xiaoyuan, be careful with your words and deeds." Ji Chunyue pinched her, "Don't discuss government affairs in the street."

What's more, it's in another country's territory?

But in the hearts of the Ji sisters, they all silently agreed with Xiaoyuan's guess.

Since ancient times, only reading is the best.

Women in Jingguo cannot participate in the imperial examinations, so the empress in the harem has no achievements.

It would be strange if this female official was not obtained by the pillow talk.

The Ji sisters were sad, and suddenly felt that even if they opened a shop, it would be meaningless.

"The world is so big, but there is no place where women can do great things."

"Sister, what's the use of us studying? Just to take care of our husbands and children?" Ji Xiayue's eyes were depressed.

They are sixteen years old this year, and they are all married.

That's why they secretly came to Jingguo to travel this time, because they know that such willful and free time will no longer exist after getting married.

"Hey, sister, we are happy for nothing. It would be great if we could not get married. Unfortunately, even the official woman in Jingguo is the emperor's woman and depends on the emperor to survive."

Ji Qiuyue sighed softly, with injustice and sadness in her eyes.

"I'm afraid it will be the same for us in the future."

"At home, we rely on our grandfather, and when we get married, we rely on our husbands. Why do we have to be reborn as women?"

Both of them were depressed, and the maid Xiaoyuan couldn't help feeling sad.

A lady of such a noble status is like this, let alone her?

"Miss, don't be sad, you are better than me--"

As they were talking, they passed by a house and heard a bustling sound at the door.

"We are looking for female workers in clothing and sewing! They are skillful, clean and tidy, and have no serious diseases!"

"We will provide food every month, and the wages will be 50 cents. In addition, we will pay commission by piecework, 2 cents for each piece."

After shouting, many people looked over soon.

"Hey, Aunt Pei, Concubine Liu's winter clothing yard is hiring again?! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll call my daughter to go!"

In an instant, the aunt in clean cloth clothes at the door of the courtyard was surrounded.

"Aunt, do you think I can do it? I'm married, but I don't have any children."

"Of course, as long as I can work, why not?" Aunt Pei waved her hand cheerfully, "The Queen said that we used to make winter clothes for refugees. Now it's spring, but we have to continue to do it, and we have to do more, so that more people will not suffer from the cold this year and next year!"

"We have to recruit many more people!"

The young wife who asked the question was obviously a little timid, but she was very tempted by the monthly sewing allowance, "But... I don't know if I, the head of the family, agree to let me come out to work."

Pei The aunt immediately put her hands on her hips, "How dare he disagree? Let him come, and when Concubine Liu leaves the palace, I'll ask him why he is so short-sighted and doesn't support his wife and daughter at home!"

"You come here not only to make money and work for the queen, but also to make clothes for our Jingguo soldiers! Make clothes for the poor people in the world!"

"He is the only man capable, what did he do? He wants to hinder us women from doing things for the world?" Aunt Pei was obviously very good at scolding, and she directly spoke to the timid young wife, "Let him come, I will scold him, and the queen will scold him!"

"Our emperor supports the queen and allows her to go out of the palace to do things at any time. How come your man is more powerful than the emperor?"

The maid Xiaoyuan's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Her ears stood up high!

The Ji sisters were stunned.

The people of Jing are not as rich as the Chu people.

But are all the women of Jing so tough?

Can the women in the harem go out of the palace at any time?

"You are good at sewing and have free time at home, you are welcome to come." Aunt Pei at the gate of the courtyard, with her hands on her waist, looked at the timid girls who were looking out, "The queen will give you courage, and the world who are in need of clothes will give you courage, don't be afraid!"

"And this silver for sewing clothes, you get it, it's yours, if any man or mother-in-law in your family dares to snatch it, you can come to me!" Aunt Pei slapped her chest.

The maid Xiaoyuan and the Ji sisters opened their mouths.

Marry and obey your husband.

In Chu, many husbands' families even snatched the dowries of their wives and concubines and took them for themselves!

And the money a woman earned would most likely go to her husband's family after marriage.

Many women were beaten if they refused to give money to vicious mothers-in-law and husbands. As long as no one was killed or seriously injured, there was no legal protection for them in the government.

But at this moment, Aunt Pei in front of them, as well as other women who came out of the winter clothing sewing yard, were confident and bold.

"You come to sew clothes, whether for the army or for refugees, the queen will remember your contributions."

"Our queen is a female official!"

"There is someone behind us," Aunt Pei pointed to the small courtyard and said to the more and more women who gathered around, "Don't be afraid."

"Whoever disagrees with you coming out to work, whoever wants to steal your sewing money, our queen will deal with him!"

"That's right," Min Rou also stood up, "We are still short of many people for sewing, whether you are married or not, have children or not, you can come and participate."

"We have an aunt who is responsible for taking care of the children here, and we have also invited a teacher to teach the children's homework."

"Everyone can leave the children in the yard, so you can free up your hands to make clothes."

"!"

"!!"

The Ji sisters and the maid Xiaoyuan were stunned.

It can be like this!

Who came up with this?

[Oh my, the following of the two beauties of Chu State to Jing State has risen to 49%! 】

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the system message.

[Why is this system prompt so strange? ]

[Good fellow, the people of Chu are willing to follow our Jing country? ]
