Chapter 363 Recruiting Female Officials
What's more important is that such delicious food is also very productive, which is a great thing for the people. Feng Junyi looked at Xie Yiyao with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Without you, I would never have been able to govern Da Deng so well."
Xie Yiyao met Feng Junyi's gaze and smiled proudly:
"I do have a natural talent for food. I hadn't cooked this dish until the day before yesterday, which was yesterday!"
Tai'an was confused when he heard this. Wouldn't it be enough for the Queen to just say it happened yesterday?
Feng Junyi saw that Xie Yiyao started talking nonsense again, and knew that she was in a very good mood. He couldn't help but smile and rubbed Xie Yiyao's little head lovingly.
"You!"
Listening to this extremely doting voice, Xie Yiyao couldn't help but get goose bumps all over her body. She looked at Feng Junyi in a daze.
The young emperor was dressed in gorgeous clothes, his face was as white as jade, his figure was noble and elegant, and his robe fluttered in the wind. Although he was sitting on a dead tree at the edge of the field like Xie Yiyao, he did not lose any of his dignity and elegance.
Xie Yiyao's cheeks suddenly turned red and she quickly lowered her head to eat!
This man must be seducing her!
The sweet and soft potatoes burst in the mouth. The people who got the food closed their eyes happily and savored the aroma of the potatoes, with happy and satisfied smiles on their eyes and brows.
The people were very excited. These potatoes were more filling than wheat and easier to grow!
The Queen is right, with potatoes and sweet potatoes they will never have to go hungry again!
What's more, they also grow wheat and rice!
Life is really getting better and better!
"Potatoes can be stored for up to three months. If the skin and flesh turn green, they can no longer be eaten, otherwise they will cause poisoning. Potatoes that have sprouted should never be eaten."
Xie Yiyao then talked about some other ways to eat potatoes and then solemnly told the people the most important things to pay attention to.
She was worried that some people were afraid of starvation and would be unwilling to sell their food, which would make it difficult for them to eat sprouted potatoes.
"Please rest assured, Queen, we understand!"
After hearing what Xie Yiyao said, the people said that they understood and would never eat potatoes that had turned green or sprouted!
After hearing this, some people who were reluctant to sell their grain and secretly planned to hoard it had no choice but to sell their potatoes to the merchants from other places with regret.
But they were no longer as frightened as before, fearing that they would starve to death again.
Because the wheat will be ripe in a while!
The bumper potato harvest brought a large amount of income to the imperial court. In theory, Xie Yiyao did not need to be personally in charge of matters such as fiscal revenue.
But now the court needs manpower everywhere, and there are simply not enough officials, so Xie Yiyao has no choice but to take charge of it herself.
I am so tired every day. After all, accounting is a mental job!
While Xie Yiyao was angrily fiddling with the abacus beads, she was also planning in her mind to recruit more financial officials.
Of course, she also needs to set up another inspection team, namely the Audit Department, to prevent people from the Ministry of Finance from taking advantage of the situation, but this time Xie Yiyao plans to give priority to recruiting women.
A while ago, the textile factory recruited only women. Now the status of women in Yanjing City has obviously improved a lot.
After all, a female worker's day's wages are comparable to those of a male worker, and in some textile factories female workers' wages are even higher than those of male workers.
A notable manifestation of the rise in women's status was that little girls began to go to school with small schoolbags on their backs.
This is a good phenomenon. Xie Yiyao believes that the status of women will become higher and higher in the future. When women are no longer dependent on men and have the right to come and go freely, their status will only get higher and higher.
In ancient times, many girls had to take care of household chores since childhood, and their accounting and math skills were no worse than men, and could even be said to be better than men.
Not only will her recruiting of female officials not reduce the efficiency of the Ministry of Finance's office, it will even improve the efficiency of the Ministry of Finance. Why wouldn't she want to kill two birds with one stone?
Of course, there are still some women from wealthy families who still adhere to the habit of not leaving the front door or going out of the back door. Xie Yiyao will not force these people. The path of life is their own choice, and she cannot control everyone.
The people of Yanjing City discovered the new notice posted on the official wall early the next morning.
Although many people were illiterate, they still got together because a notice meant work.
They were so anxious because they missed out on the recruitment efforts at the steel mills, coal mines, and glass factories. Now that there are new job opportunities, of course they are rushing to get them!
"Oh my god, the court is going to recruit financial officials in a month?"
"What? Women first?"
"After passing the assessment, you will be admitted into the government, and you will be able to eat the emperor's salary and work directly for the queen?!"
The onlookers were suddenly excited!
They beat their chests and stamped their feet in regret for not sending their daughter to school. They wonder if it is too late to send her there now?
Some people have already rushed home to send their daughters to school!
There is still a month left, maybe it’s still in time!
"Miss! Miss!"
At the Zhou family, the residence of Lord Zhou, a little maid ran towards Zhou Nianchu's Furong Courtyard with a box of snacks in her hand, looking excited.
Zhou Nianchu was sitting by the window, reading a book intently. When he heard his little maid running back noisily, he had no choice but to put the book down and looked at the little maid with a red face with amusement:
"Tell me, what strange thing happened in Yanjing City this time?"
Ever since this girl came to Yanjing, she would talk nonstop every time she came back from going out.
"Miss, you will definitely like what I am going to say this time!"
The little maid Xi Que kept the secret and looked at Zhou Nianchu excitedly, wanting Zhou Nianchu to coax her.
"Then I won't listen."
Zhou Nianchu saw that the magpie that was keeping the secret did not do what she wanted, so she picked up the book and started reading again.
She had no interest in these things in Yanjing. They were just things that made men happy. What did they have to do with a woman like her?
Zhou Nianchu was actually feeling unwilling. She came to Yanjing too late and missed the textile factory's recruitment, so it has always been her regret that she could not be a female worker.
It’s not that she really wants to be a female worker, but being a female worker gives her the confidence to be free and not rely on her family or her husband’s family.
Looking at the bold and confident smiles of the female workers in the textile factory when they got off work, she was in a trance. She had never seen such an unbridled smile before.
She had to smile without showing her teeth, otherwise she would not meet the standards of the noble families for choosing a wife.
Her every word and action was constrained by rules and regulations. She could not resist, and neither could her daughter.
They are all soulless puppets, following the path arranged by their family step by step, regardless of whether they like it or not.
