Chapter 498: The Suppressed Productivity Of The Other Half Of The Population [Please Subscribe, Plea
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who made the final decision, Yan Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat back on his wide seat.
【Finally passed by force!!!】
[Now that the opportunity to recruit female agricultural students has been opened, it means that in the future, the door has also been opened for women to go to school and serve as officials in the court!!!]
[Then in the future, as more and more women go to school and become officials in the court, the influence of women will also expand bit by bit!!!]
[And as women’s influence gradually expands, women will become more independent, equal, and free!!!]
[When women become as independent, equal, and free as men, the productivity of the other half of the population represented by women will also be released accordingly!!!]
[By then, the population productivity of the Ming Dynasty will have doubled, which will bring about a greatly accelerated construction speed in all aspects!!!]
【This is what I really want!!!】
Yes, the reason why Yan Changqing wants to forcefully recruit female agricultural students is just to make preliminary preparations for the future release of the productivity of the other half of the population represented by women.
In agricultural countries that have not entered the industrial era, population is the primary productive force!!!
Only with a sufficient population can productivity be increased!!!
To put it simply and straightforwardly, the more people working, the faster the overall work will be and the higher the efficiency will be.
As for the person doing the work, it doesn’t actually matter whether he or she is a man or a woman, because both men and women can work!!!
Although from a physiological point of view, there is indeed a physical gap between men and women, this is undeniable.
But in reality, the various tasks that men are currently responsible for are not so difficult that women cannot take over them at all.
Most men can do physical work, such as plowing, fishing, hunting, etc.
In fact, women can also complete it, but at most they may be slightly worse in terms of progress and efficiency.
After all, the greatest advantage of a person is that he knows how to use tools, and using tools is a way to narrow the gap between the two parties.
Like those fool-style cooking utensils in Yan Changqing's previous life, even a novice chef can make a few delicious meals by following those fool-style cooking utensils and performing fool-like operations.
And this is actually a cooking novice who has narrowed the gap between himself and ordinary chefs through fool-proof cooking utensils.
In the same way, the emergence of auxiliary plowing tools such as curved shaft plows, plowing oxen, barrel carts, water drainage, etc., has greatly reduced the difficulty of plowing, making plowing even a woman can complete it.
And this is actually a way for women to use plowing tools to narrow the gap between themselves and ordinary men in physical work such as plowing.
For example, physical work can use tools to narrow the gap between the two parties. Then women will be even more qualified for other jobs that are not so demanding on physical strength, such as buying and selling.
However, under the constraints of the past ideas such as "men are in charge of the outside world and women are in charge of the inside", "women are not allowed to show their faces", as well as the "Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules", "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" and other ideas, women are not able to engage in business such as buying and selling. A "showy" job.
Only women are allowed to engage in silkworm rearing and weaving, a specific type of "internal" work.
In fact, this greatly suppresses the production history of the other half of the population represented by women!!!
You know, in Yan Changqing's mind, there are a lot of big infrastructure plans like building concrete and cement highways across the country!!!
A large-scale infrastructure plan like this is simply impossible to complete without sufficient population productivity.
Not to mention the current half of the population's productivity represented by the male population of the Ming Dynasty, even if the other half of the population's productivity represented by women in the future is added.
Then do it ten times, but for Yan Changqing, that is not enough.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is impossible for Yan Changqing to say that the population productivity represented by the other half of the female population is simply wasted.
If you want to take advantage of the productivity of the other half of the population represented by women, you must first break the past thousands of years of "men are in charge of outside and women are in charge of home", "women are not allowed to show their faces", as well as the "Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Rules", "Cheng Zhu The shackles and shackles placed on women by ideas such as "Neo-Confucianism"!!!
After all, if women are to play their role as the productive forces of the other half of the population, they must go out of the house and participate in a variety of "showy" jobs.
If the shackles of these ideas on women are not broken, then women will not even be allowed to so-called "show their faces", let alone take advantage of the productivity of the half of the population that women represent.
It's just that over the past thousands of years, the ideas of "men are at home and men are at home", "women are not allowed to show their faces", as well as "Three Guidelines and Five Constant Rules", "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism", etc. have been engraved in the bones of almost everyone.
Even though Yan Changqing now has the name of Saint, it is difficult to break the ideological consensus of the past thousands of years by himself.
Even if someone is not good, even if he has the name of Saint, he will be fiercely opposed by half the world!!!
Because "men are at home, women are at home", "women are not allowed to show their faces", as well as the "Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Rules", "Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism" and other ideas, in essence, they safeguard the interests of the male group in this era. winter.
And he wants to break this idea and liberate the other half of the productivity represented by the female population, which actually damages the interests of all men in this era!!!
Although this part of the damaged interests will be replenished from other places after he liberates the other half of the productivity represented by the female population, it will even allow men to gain more benefits than the originally damaged ones!!!
But most people are invisible to such things. They will stubbornly believe that their own interests have been harmed.
Or maybe he feels that if his own interests are not harmed (Liao Wanghao), then coupled with the interests that are now being supplemented from other places, the interests he can finally obtain will be more than the interests he currently obtains!! !
So under such circumstances, Yan Changqing decided to choose the method of "boiling the frog in warm water".
First, through the Wanmin Agricultural College and other colleges under his control, he slowly opened a hole, and then bit by bit released the other half of the population's productivity represented by the female population.
After carefully considering that there were no big or directional problems with his arrangements, Yan Changqing sat calmly and watched Zhu Yuanzhang, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, as well as all the civil and military officials. The next performance of the noble Marquis.
