After sitting in the office for a while and getting acquainted with the environment, the two left the office and returned to the apartment, and when they went up to the second floor, Louis asked Lin Shangzhou to wait for him outside, he had something to give him.

After a short while, Louis took out a box from the room, and he opened the box for Lin Shangzhou, and there was a black record in it.

"Do you have a gramophone at home?"

"Yes, you want to give me a record?"

Lin Shangzhou asked while taking the box, the box was just an ordinary box, there was no logo, Lin Shangzhou only knew what song this record was.

He took out a record and looked at it and asked, "What kind of record is this?"

Louis smiled mysteriously and said, "You can go home and listen to it." "

Okay.

Lin Shangzhou put the record back in the box and walked upstairs.

Back at his home, he went to his room, opened the box, took out the record from it, and put it on top of the gramophone, which he then turned on.

After the gramophone was turned on, the first thing he heard was a few words of French, and Lin Shangzhou couldn't understand French, so he didn't understand what that French meant.

After a few words of French, comical-sounding music sounded, followed by a good-sounding singing.

"In order to find allies for Germany, Kaiser Wilhelm went everywhere. (I couldn't find the original lyrics, so I used a translation)

"He first said to Spain: Let's be good friends!" "

Oh-oh-oh-oh

" "It's nasty!"

...

Lin Shangzhou sat on the sofa and listened to this song, although he couldn't understand it, this song gave him a good feeling, and he also felt as if he had heard this song, this song felt very familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it for a while.

"Even though the situation is bad, we still find allies.

"Germany eventually formed an alliance with Monaco. "

...

(Monaco?)

Lin Shangzhou finally heard the meaning of a word, he heard Monaco, and the impression of this song in his mind at this time was also clear.

He reacted suddenly, isn't this a insulting divine comedy "Wilhelm II Looking for Allies"?

After knowing what this song was, Lin Shangzhou had the idea of going down to hammer Louis, and this record was also collected by his Jingfa Society.

"I want to play less

of this song in the future..."Sighing lightly, Lin Shangzhou stood up and walked to the gramophone and turned off the gramophone, this song can't be played indiscriminately in Germany, in case people with ulterior motives know that he has such a record in his collection, then it will be a big trouble.

Then he listened to the rest of the records one after another, some in German and some in French, the German ones were normal, and the French ones he couldn't understand.

In order to avoid trouble, Lin Shangzhou received all the French records in the box and put them in the drawer, and he put the German ones in the box where the records were stored on the gramophone.

He sat down in a chair in front of the table and looked out the window thinking about what was next.

Lin Shangzhou wanted to think about what he would do after entering the council.

As Louis said, the people on the city council know that they are behind Louis, so they will definitely consider their own suggestions, and Lin Shangzhou intends to take this opportunity to see if he can get the city council to pass any policies that benefit the workers and the basic citizens.

Andy's family situation told him that the poor people in Strasbourg were not having a good time, hovering on the edge of the subsistence line, Andy's family was fine, there was an Andy in the family who could go to work in the factory to make money, and now the treatment of workers has been improved in all aspects, and the workers' families will definitely live better than before.

But what about families that don't have a male labor force? What are they going to do

? (Textile factory?)

Suddenly, Lin Shangzhou thought of the textile factory, where he had been focusing on the work of the workers, but had forgotten the textile factory where Laetia had worked.

At first, the government dealt with the textile factory quickly, but what happened in other factories later made Lin Shangzhou wonder if the treatment of female workers had really improved.

The treatment of women workers in textile mills was worse than that of workers before the increase, and he had reason to believe that the treatment of women workers in textile factories was still very poor.

The reason is simple, it was a textile factory, and the workers were all women.

Needless to say, the oppression of family and society, the limitations of education level and the limitations of their own conditions make the resistance of female workers much lower than that of men.

If the textile factories had a large number of lower-class female workers, their salaries would have improved, and the living standards of some of Strasbourg's poor and commoners would have been improved.

(Raising the issue of improving the treatment of women workers in parliament will not necessarily be passed...)

Lin Shangzhou thought to himself that in the patriarchal country of the German Empire (although the emperor was a little girl), there was not even a single woman in the parliament, and it was a bit difficult to expect a group of men to agree to improve the treatment of female workers.

After thinking about it, he thought of his current status: "Friend of the Workers", a member of the city council, and a minister of labor and social affairs.

As a government official and popular among workers and ordinary people, I can talk to the owner of the textile factory and see if I can get her to improve the treatment of female workers.

Of course, Lin Shangzhou knew that this would definitely not go well, but no matter what, he wanted to give it a try, he planned to go to the textile factory in the afternoon to find the owner of the textile factory, if the other party did not agree to improve the treatment of female workers, then he could only choose to make relevant suggestions at the city council.

As for whether the parliamentarians agree or not, it can only depend on his luck.

After deciding that Lin Shangzhou would do it, but now he has to cook first.

Looking up at the watch on the wall, knowing the current time, Lin Shangzhou got up and walked out of his room to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.

Because there was food left over from last night, he didn't have to go out to buy vegetables at noon, and after washing the vegetables, he heard the sound of the door opening.

He walked to the kitchen door and poked his head out, and saw Laetia who was changing her shoes, and he was a little surprised when he saw Ladia, noon was the time when the restaurant was entertaining guests, why did Lathea come back?"Ladia, why did

you come back at noon today?"

Ledia said as she walked towards the sofa, "The boss has something to do at home, and the restaurant is going to be closed for a while."

"Please do more at noon, I didn't eat at the restaurant." "

Well, I'll go buy some more food later.

Lin Shangzhou nodded, put the potatoes in his hand back on the board, washed his hands and dried his hands on the apron, and after drying his hands on the apron, he took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen, ready to go out to buy groceries.

Ten minutes later, he came back with a bag of vegetables.

He opened the door and placed the bag on the floor to change his shoes, when Laetia came over and picked up the bag and walked to the kitchen.

Laetia put the bag away and walked towards the kitchen door, Lin Shangzhou also walked over at this time, the two just bumped into each other, Lin Shangzhou took a step back to make way for Ladia, and Laetia also took a step back at the same time to make way for Lin Shangzhou.

At the same time, the two of them looked at each other, and Laetia burst out laughing.

"Okay, okay, you come in first, you want to cook. "

Hmm.

Lin Shangzhou nodded and walked into the kitchen.

He walked over to the bag and took out the contents and put them in the sink to wash them, when he thought about what Louis had said in the morning—whether he wanted to find a secretary.

Luis suggested that Laetia be his secretary, but he felt that it was not appropriate to do so, and it seemed that he had other purposes.

Of course, he could have found someone else to be his secretary, but... Fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields....

So with the mentality of giving it a try, Lin Shangzhou turned around and walked to the kitchen door and said to Letia, who was reading the newspaper on the sofa, "Letia, don't you have to go to work for the next period of time?"

"Well, I will be idle for a while,"

Letia was a little unhappy in her heart, being idle means that she can't make money, she is not short of money now, but she is still burdened with the man's arrears of 1500 marks at the kitchen door.

"In that case, do you want to come to my office to work?"

"Your office?"

Ledia looked at him quizzically.

"Are you still recruiting temporary workers there?" she

didn't know that Lin Shangzhou had been promoted, and thought that the office of the six people was recruiting temporary workers.

Lin Shangzhou came out of the kitchen and sat on the single sofa and said to Letia: "That's right, I'm promoted, and I've become the head of our department."

Hearing such good news, Ledia immediately put down the newspaper, clapped her hands lightly, and thought of Lin Shangzhou's congratulations: "This is a great thing, congratulations." "

Thank you.

"I don't have a secretary, and the office is better than the restaurant, so you can try it if you want."

Lin Shangzhou said to Letia embarrassedly, after all, the position of secretary is so close to him that it can't be closer, and Ledia is a girl, he thinks it's difficult for Ledia not to have other ideas.

Although he said it for the sake of Ladia. (I don't believe he thinks so)

Latheia's clapping action froze, she looked at Lin Shangzhou with strange eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing Ledia like this, Lin Shangzhou chuckled in his heart, and suddenly felt that something bad was wrong.

"You said you want me to be your secretary?"

it took a long time for Laetia to say this, and Lin Shangzhou nodded.

"Two days off a week, 18 marks per week, and the intensity of my work varies with the intensity of my work.

After telling Ledia about the treatment, Lin Shangzhou continued: "If you want, you can try it first, after all, you don't have anything to do these days, if you don't want to, forget it, I'll find someone else." "

Wait!"

Laetia's sudden reaction startled him.

"You said the weekly

salary is 18 marks?!" "Well, if you do a good job, you will have a commission, and you may have

a salary increase in the future..."After hearing the commission and salary increase, Laetia immediately became excited, 18 marks a week, and there are two days off, if there is a commission and a salary increase, the salary will be higher, of course she is willing to do such a high salary.

Ledia coughed lightly to calm her emotions, and she said to Lin Shangzhou: "Since you have invited me, it is not inappropriate for me to refuse, so I am willing to do this job."

She looked calm on the surface, but in fact she was very happy and her eyes were full of excitement.

The reason why Ledia would agree Lin Shangzhou has already seen it, it is very simple, because the weekly salary of 18 marks is twice as fast as her in the restaurant, and since she agreed, Lin Shangzhou will not say anything more.

"Okay, you can go to the office with me the day after tomorrow.

Lin Shangzhou nodded, and then said

, "I'm going to go to the previous textile factory this afternoon, I want you to go with me, okay?" Letia looked at him suspiciously

, "Go to the textile factory?" "

Well, I'm going to go there to see how the female workers are treated, if nothing else, I don't think there is much change, I want to use my own identity to talk to the factory owner, so that she can improve the treatment of female workers." Hearing

Lin Shangzhou mention the female workers, Laetia's mind came to mind the memory of being in the textile factory at that time, she was very sympathetic to the female workers, at that time she knew that after the government dealt with it quickly, she thought that the treatment of the female workers would be improved, so she did not pay attention, who knew that now Lin Shangzhou said that the treatment of the female workers is likely not to be improved.

She was very angry and wanted to go to the textile factory to see what the boss thought.

So for this matter, Laetia naturally agreed.

"Well, let's go together.

She nodded firmly.
