Chapter 607 Zhu Mai directs the new drama, Fang Yizhi recommends Xu Zhengming

The second play is titled "The Liberation of Women: The Wife of the Raider Shi Hongmei".

This scene is very close to the lives of ordinary citizens in Nanjing.

It is about Shi Hongmei's husband who went to the north to serve the country two years ago. He has not returned yet and there is no news. People say he is dead.

The main source of income was the family's income by relying on his father-in-law as his shave. As a result, a few months after Shi Hongmei's husband left, his father-in-law fell seriously ill and was bedridden.

Not only does the main source of income at home have to support her father-in-law's medical expenses, Shi Hongmei has a son and a daughter to raise, and she can't maintain the little money she and her mother-in-law sold at home textile fabrics.

When it was the most difficult time, the mother-in-law said she wanted to sell her granddaughter. One way to reduce the consumption of food, and the other way to exchange some money for her family to overcome the difficulties.

Shi Hongmei was unwilling to die, so she ran back to her parents' home to borrow some food, and then she lasted for a while.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

Seeing that his mother-in-law was already contacting the trafficker, Shi Hongmei was very anxious but had no choice but to do anything about it.

At this time, a magical army entered the city, which was the army of the Princess of the State. Not long after that, the Princess of the State entered Nanjing and ascended the throne to become the new emperor. Changes were taking place in all aspects of Nanjing.

One of them is to open a textile factory and recruit female workers.

Although there are many private textile workshops in Nanjing, they have long been full of people and have high requirements for female workers' craftsmanship, so it is difficult to get in.

The textile factories opened by the imperial court not only recruited many people, but also had relatively low requirements for female workers' craftsmanship.

In this way, Shi Hongmei entered the textile factory and received more than one or two taels of wages every month, which immediately solved the difficulties at home.

Not only that, her family status continued to improve with the increase of income. Originally, her parents-in-law had the final say in everything in the family, and even if her mother-in-law wanted to sell her daughter, she could beg and could not stop it.

But when she was later promoted to the head of the production team in the factory and brought back nearly two taels of silver every month, her mother-in-law took the initiative to ask about her opinions when she encountered something.

The last scene is that Shi Hongmei sent her children to elementary school to go to school. When she returned home, she met her husband, but her husband moved to the north and south with the general and finally returned with honor...

Although the plot of this drama is relatively dull, many people are filled with tears and moved because some of them are the real experiences of some of them.

Therefore, the people have more discussions about this play—

"This drama is right. Women must also dare to go out to make a lot of money. Only by making money can they be tough when talking at home."

"That's right? If I hadn't gone to the textile factory with my mother-in-law, how could my life be as prosperous as it is now?"

"Entering the factory is nothing. Those girls who are elementary school teachers are really good. Their wages are high and they are respected. When my Yingzi achieves success in his studies, she will also be a primary school teacher."

“···”

Among the people's discussions, the third play "Loyalty for the country: Zhou Tieniu knows to return to the death and sacrifice himself to fight against the Qing Dynasty".

Zhou Tieniu was an ordinary soldier from the peasant army. Seeing that the Qing army entered the pass and raging, he took the initiative to join the imperial army to fight against the Qing army. He died in the end but won the touching story of his reputation behind him.

In the past, most folk stories about military generals were about great heroes. In short, no matter how they came from, they eventually became big figures and did something that trembled the world.

Moreover, it ends with a happy ending that the people like.

In this third play, Zhou Tieniu was just a new army in the end. He was always a small character and finally died heroically in the battle against the Qing army.

Although the court engraved its name on the monument and sent the ashes to the Heroes Garden to worship, and even chose orphans to inherit their incense and court rewards, the story is undoubtedly tragic in terms of the ending alone.

Therefore, even though many people who watched had not experienced war or witnessed the cruelty of the Qing throne, they still burst into tears and showed their hearts more respect for the Ming soldiers...

New performances like this are carried out in various districts and streets in Nanjing in the first month. Basically, each street will be launched once, which is to make up for the lack of the art troupe's performance in Nanjing last year.

Outside the imperial city, the location of the "yamen" of the Ming Art Troupe.

A large courtyard covering an area of ​​considerable land.

In one of the yards, Feng Menglong, the head of the Ming Art Troupe, and the Opera Club recommended Ruan Lizhen and several other opera directors to listen to the "Haichi".

"After the spring, the court will use troops to attack the Qing enemy. Even if it cannot be destroyed in one battle, it will definitely be able to recover a lot of land in Liaodong.

After that, the court will develop Liaodong. Well, you can understand it as large-scale land reclamation and farming.

In this way, it is necessary to immigrate to the real border. Although the imperial court has a policy of migrating to prevent clearing of fields and spreading acres of land, relying solely on those people is not enough. People need to be encouraged to take the initiative to go to the north to open up land and farm.

Later, I will send someone to send a white paper book to encourage the people to farm outside the pass. At that time, you will compile and export several related operas according to the above content.

Of course, if the people take the initiative to immigrate, they can not only go to the northeast, but also to the northwest.

In short, tell the people in densely populated areas not to stay in their hometowns and live a hard life, and boldly go to the frontier to create a better and happier new life.

Do you understand?"

After listening to the crowd, only a few people including Feng Menglong were thinking, while most of them frowned, not understanding.

They didn't dare to let Zhu Mau explain it in detail, and immediately followed Feng Menglong and replied: "Weichen, please understand."

"It's good if you understand." Zhu Meishu smiled and nodded, "I look forward to your new works."

After saying that, he ordered the car to return to the palace.

When he returned to Wuying Palace, Zhu Mai sat down and rested for a while, the eunuch came in and reported that Fang Yizhi wanted to see him.

Fang Yizhi is currently the chief executive of the Academy of Natural Sciences of the Ming Dynasty, part-time director of the Academy of Physical Sciences, and editor-in-chief of the Special Issue of Daming Pao Natural Sciences. He has multiple positions and usually has to take some science talents to do experiments. It can be said that he is very busy.

As a busy man, Fang Yizhi rarely seeks to see him now.

Therefore, when he heard that he took the initiative to ask for a meeting, Zhu Ma was still quite curious and immediately ordered someone to announce his views.

After Fang Yizhi came in to salute, he said straight to the point: "I am here to recommend special talents to Your Majesty."

Perhaps because of in-depth study of natural science knowledge and too busy, Fang Yizhi's Confucian temperament has become much weaker and now he is more and more like a scientist.

"Who actually needs Fang Qing's personal recommendation?" Zhu Mai asked curiously.

I also look forward to it.

Fang Yizhi said: "This man's name is Xu Zhengming. He is good at creating strange and ingenious things. He didn't know where to find out the news. He thought he could enter the Academy of Natural Sciences, so he found Weichen.

Although I don’t know much about natural science, I am really good at invention and creation. I even invented a wooden bird that can carry people to glide for a short time. It is considered a special talent, so I came to recommend it to Your Majesty.”

Fang Yizhi finished speaking, and Hao Guangming on the other side spoke.

"It turned out to be this person, the inventor of your Ming Dynasty's 'aircraft'. Although the 'aircraft' he invented was just a failure, there is no doubt about this person's imagination, invention and hands-on ability.

This person was well trained after being captured. Even if he could not become a great inventor, it would be of great help to realize many of our technologies."

After hearing this, Zhu Mom's eyes couldn't help but show joy.

So he asked Fang Yizhi, "Where is this person now?"

"Your Majesty, you are in the Academy of Natural Sciences."

"Then let him meet."
