Jingbiao is the certificate used by the government to commend the folks.

The Biao Biao issued to ordinary women is basically used to commend the frugal women.

If a chaste woman can continue to be a widow for 20 years, she can also get a chastity archway established by the government.

Hearing the word chastity, Su Ze instinctively hated it. In his era, the so-called chastity archways were all things that would be thrown into the dustbin of history.

Advocating chastity is also one of the manifestations of the Ming Dynasty's increasingly conservative atmosphere under the influence of Neo Confucianism.

After Su Ze saluted Mrs. Lu, he pulled Lin Xianyang and said, "Your sister-in-law is looking for widows?"

Lin Xianyang said: "Yes, it's not that the widow's family would let them work, but they heard that they are working in the ancestral hall, so their family will not gossip."

The Changning Guard was a military guard, the previous one was killed in battle, and many men also died in battle, and there were naturally a lot of widows.

It's just that Su Ze seldom visits Changningwei on weekdays, so he ignores this matter.

"Your sister-in-law won the county government's letter, isn't she planning to remarry?"

Lu looks like she is in her thirties, just like women in this era, she looks too old and thin.

But according to her age, when she could still be glamorous and beautiful in modern times, she would wear black clothes like this and be a widow for the rest of her life, Su Ze asked Lin Xianyang.

Lin Xianyang sighed and said: "My father managed to get this from the county government. Otherwise, my sister-in-law might be arrested by her natal family and remarried."

Su Ze saw that the old man was so open-minded that he even asked the county government to express that he would not remarry his widowed daughter-in-law. Su Ze asked suspiciously, "Does the old man not want your sister-in-law to remarry?"

Lin Xianyang shook his head and said, "My sister-in-law is unwilling."

"Why?"

"My sister-in-law's natal family is poor, and my brother paid a lot of dowry to marry her. If she returns to her natal family, she will definitely be remarried by her natal family. If she marries like this, she will be tortured to death within a few years." .”

Su Ze was taken aback, but soon realized that what Lin Xianyang said was true.

In fact, it is not only in Fujian. Marrying a daughter in this era is selling a daughter.

For the first time, the Lu family can marry a military household. I am afraid that it will be the second time that the family will marry a disabled person or a rich household as a concubine for money. Some poor families even have brothers and wives together. In short, the second marriage The only thing that happened to her was that she was sold by her natal family again.

Those who marry such widows will basically not treat them sincerely. Some of them are just for the purpose of carrying on the family line, and it is common to be tortured.

And her natal family originally sold her daughter, so naturally they wouldn't stand up for her.

After obtaining the imperial court's letter, then the Lu family is a registered chaste woman in the county government, and the natal family has no way to force her to remarry.

The old grandpa's family has always been kind to her. It is the best result for her to stay in her in-law's house and continue to raise her son.

Su Ze couldn't help feeling that in this era, it is a luxury for ordinary women to be able to be a widow and raise their children with peace of mind.

It is no wonder that the fate of women in the feudal era was so miserable.

Chasing love and freedom of marriage has never been a matter for poor people.

Su Ze looked at Lu's old and haggard face, and the young widow raising his son, it was hard work to think about it.

The other widows were afraid of being gossiped, but only Lu was elected to learn how to use the loom with Su Ze.

Su Ze sat in front of the Jenny loom, and said to Mrs. Lu: "This is a new loom I invented, and it actually operates similarly to a hand spinning wheel."

[Find the location of the textile factory, you can learn the skill "weaving", do you want to learn it? 】

"study."

And the system is reliable. Originally, Su Ze wanted to study how to use the spinning wheel, but now the knowledge of using the textile machine appeared in Su Ze's mind. He put on the spindle and began to use the textile machine skillfully.

Mrs. Lu originally heard that Su Ze invented the loom, but thought Su Ze was just joking.

She heard Su Ze's name many times from her father-in-law, uncle and son Lin Anzi, and knew that this was a talented scholar in Changningwei.

After his son Lin Anzai studied with Su Ze, he not only became more sensible, but also could write and read.

The Lu family respected Su Ze very much, and she didn't ask Lin Anzi to be admitted as a scholar, as long as she could read and write, that would be quite good.

Although I have great respect for Su Ze, how can scholars know how to weave? This is all their women's business.

Not to mention the invention of the loom.

Unexpectedly, the weird machine in front of Su Ze, as the wheels gradually started to move, the spindles would really spin.

And the shuttle shuttles between the threads, and a small piece of cloth quickly appears on the loom.

This scholar really knows how to weave!

But Lu's was quickly attracted by this machine, the weaving speed is too fast!

Lu's family is already a well-known clever wife in Changningwei. When her husband was still alive, Lu's family could not only weave new clothes for the family, but also make cloth to sell in the market.

But compared with Su Ze's weaving speed, Lu's efficiency is much lower.

Moreover, Mrs. Lu can also see that Su Ze can barely use this loom, and he is not proficient in movements. If he is proficient, the speed will be faster.

Looking at this ingenious machine, Lu fell into thinking.

If she uses this machine, her weaving speed in a day is several times that of ordinary looms, so how much cloth can she weave in a month!

Although the son’s study is paid by the old man, he can’t farm the land to study, and in the future, pens, inks, papers and inkstones will all cost money.

Lu Shi was already planning to pawn the silver earrings given by her husband after marriage, but now she sees hope.

If Su Ze buys it according to the market price, the Lu family can earn one or two taels of silver a month if he does his best!

You must know that farming in the guard, after deducting the grain turned over to the guard, what you get in a year is only seven or eight taels of silver!

You can earn one or two taels of silver every month by weaving by yourself! If you are proficient, maybe you can do more.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu directly knelt down to Su Ze and said, "Thank you, Mr. Su!"

Su Ze hurriedly asked Lu Shi to get up, and he said to Lu Shi: "Have you learned it, sister-in-law?"

"May I try it, sir?"

Su Ze stepped aside, and Mrs. Lu sat in front of the loom and began to operate the loom.

I have to say that Mrs. Lu is really dexterous. After Su Ze corrected her a few movements, she can already operate the loom.

Lu operated it a few more times, keeping the serious operation steps in mind, and then said to Su Ze: "Sir, I have written it down."

"Then I will teach others how to use the loom first. I will ask Brother Xianyang to send the cotton to the ancestral hall. Besides, which family in Changningwei grows more cotton?"

Lin Xianyang said: "Changningwei has a lot of cotton planters, but they are all scattered. Only Uncle Seven has planted a few acres of cotton fields."

"but."

"But what?"

"However, Beishan Village has a large cotton field."

"Back Mountain Village, is it the Back Mountain Village that is fighting with us?"

Lin Xianyang sighed and said: "Yes, it is said that the Beishan Chen family is a cotton household that moved from the Admiralty of Cotton Industry in the previous dynasty. They supply."

The last 300 tans of cotton bought from Zhang Haihu is a lot, but it is also very fast to use. If we want to keep the weaving workshop open for a long time, we will definitely need a long-term and stable supply of cotton.

However, Changningwei and the Beishan Chen family are blood feuds for land, and it may not be easy for the Beishan Chen family to sell cotton to him.

It seems that we still have to think long term.

Su Ze said to Mrs. Lu: "Sister-in-law, use up the cotton first, and I'll figure out what to do with the rest."

The Lu family quickly made a blessing, saying that he would manage the textile workshop well, and Su Ze returned from the family hall to the family temple.

Su Ze also made some money these days, so he invited Lin Xianzong to come over and renovate the family temple.

A bricklayer was also hired to replace the old tiles on the roof, the dilapidated doors and windows were repaired, and the whole family temple was no longer in dilapidated condition.

Nine aunts sat in front of the statue, praying to the statue of Empress Sanxiao.

Letting Su Ze settle in Changningwei was the best thing she did in her life.

Since Su Ze came to Changningwei, life in Changningwei has gradually improved.

Su Ze also paid for the repair of the family temple, and now she can have enough food every day. Ninth Aunt only feels that life is getting better and better.

She felt that she could live for a few more years, and if she brought Lin Cainiang out, the incense in the family temple would not be cut off in the future.

Thinking of this, Ninth Aunt wondered whether to erect a statue of Mazu?

What if this Su Ze is really Mazu's child?

"Brother, you are back!"

Little Luobotou was reading the divination book, and immediately jumped up when he saw Su Ze.

Ninth Aunt supported her crutches and stood up: "Is the matter over at the ancestral hall settled?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, I will leave it to the Lu family of the old grandpa's family to take care of it."

"Mr. Lu is a good boy, but his life is hard. Her son is studying in the health school, so she definitely won't have other thoughts."

"I don't worry about this, but the supply of cotton is a problem."

The looms belonged to Su Ze, so he was naturally not afraid of any problems with these widowed women workers.

The most important issue today is the supply of cotton.

For this problem, Ninth Auntie has no good solution.

Lin Cainiang, the little radish head, waited for the two of them to finish talking, and then said: "Brother, the sweet potato leaves have been delivered to the back kitchen, can these sweet potato leaves be eaten?"

"Yes, I'll fry it now."

The cooking method of the Ming Dynasty is almost the same as that of the contemporary one, and stir-frying has become a fairly common method of preparation.

However, ordinary people still mainly stew. The reason is very simple. Stir-frying requires oil, and the poor cannot afford it.

However, the price of cooking oil in the Ming Dynasty was already very affordable. There were two oil-pressing workshops in Nanping County, and they sold the "ancient method of oil-pressing" that is often said in later advertisements.

Nanping County sells rapeseed oil. Last time Su Ze came back from the county, he also bought a pot of oil.

Sweet potato leaves are also good ingredients, but if the leaves are blanched directly, a protective film will be formed on the surface, which is not easy to taste.

But Su Ze naturally has a way. He first rubbed the sweet potato leaves with coarse salt to remove the protective film on the surface of the leaves.

After blanching the sweet potato leaves, start frying vegetables with rapeseed oil.

The fragrance of green leafy vegetables and the aroma of rapeseed oil are mixed together. You only need to add some refined salt to enhance the taste, and a delicious, crispy and tender stir-fried sweet potato leaves will come out of the pan.

[Stir-fry, cooking skill +1, Lv1, 60/100]

Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, Lin Liangjun, the little carrot head, smelled the smell and entered the family temple.

"What kind of smell, so fragrant!"

Seeing Little Carrot Head was about to climb up the stove, Su Ze patted his hand and said:

"Wash your hands!"

Little Luobotou came to the well reluctantly, and after washing his hands with well water, he quickly climbed onto the dining table.

Changningwei no longer eats porridge now, and Su Ze has to work and study at the same time. Now that the conditions are better, naturally he cooks and eats.

Lin Liangjun held the bowl and took a mouthful of sweet potato leaves. The fragrance of vegetables mixed with the smell of oil made him snort comfortably.

Seeing that he was eating so deliciously, Su Ze took a piece and put it in his mouth with the rice. It was really delicious.

There were fried sweet potato seedlings for the meal, and the meal was eaten very quickly. After the meal was over, Su Ze pulled Lin Liangjun and asked:

"How is your brother?"

"It's good, you should eat, drink, and hit me when you should hit me."

"Oh, all right."

Naturally, Lin Mojun would not tell Lin Liangjun about killing Xu Shisheng. Hearing that she was in a stable mental state, Su Ze felt relieved.

"In the middle of the month, I will go to the county to inquire about the Yushi Qing army. You can let your brother train at home with peace of mind."

"Understood! My brother must be relieved to have Brother Aze come forward!"

Lin Cainiang was in charge of cleaning the dishes, Su Ze returned to the room, lit the oil lamp and opened the family tree brought by time travel.

After the record on May 17, the content of Changningwei's family tree has shrunk a lot. It should be that in that time and space, Changningwei's situation became more and more difficult, and he no longer had the energy to continue recording everything big and small.

The following part is about the debt repayment recorded by Changningwei, as well as the contents of the debt collection negotiation. In short, the situation of Changningwei in that time and space was very miserable, and even some military fields were taken out to pay off the debt.

Su Ze flipped through a few pages, and finally found the next useful piece of information.

"On December 12th, the commander-in-chief called the guard station to patrol the sea on the battlefield. When he was ambushed by Japanese pirates, the Seventh Patriarch bravely defeated the enemy and sailed back. Out of ten people who went to sea, only two or three survived."

Su Ze closed the family tree. This record was recorded seven months later, but the world of time and space has changed. I don't know if there will be such an order.

But the big situation is that King Lu invaded the southeast, I am afraid that the southeast will not be peaceful.

Thinking of the Japanese pirates raging and the imperial censor Yan Maoqing busy making money, Su Ze felt a little irritable.

During the Jiajing period, the corruption within the dynasty had already permeated. Everywhere a cruel official like Yan Maoqing went, he tried his best to exploit him, regardless of the situation in the southeast.

Su Ze sighed, his strength was still too weak.

Tomorrow, the firearms workshop will be built as soon as possible, and strive to produce gunpowder and lead bullets in Changningwei.

Entering the city in the middle of the month, Su Ze plans to learn a few more skills. Only by mastering more attribute points and passive skills can he feel safe in this troubled world.

Su Ze found that he could learn a few more skills, all he needed was to go to level five to earn attribute points and passive skills.

Anyway, some skills are not too difficult to liver.

There seems to be a medical clinic in Nanping County, can you learn a "medical skill" first?

What other skills can be learned?
