The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Although what Alfonso said was reasonable, the meeting between the two of them was still a bit unacceptable.

This is a change of concept, not so easy.

In this era, women not only did not have the right to vote, but also did not have the right to property after marriage (unless they were high-class women). Socially, they were regarded as attachments of their husbands.

Corresponding to low rights, they do not have to assume any obligations.

Only Britain and France have gone far in Europe, and women are widely appearing in industries such as textiles, leather, and metal processing.

In other countries, including Spain, the female labor force is completely ignored.

"British and French have done this. Britain and France, the top powers, we just follow them, and there will be no problem." Seeing the two people still did not say anything, Alfonso persuaded with all his heart.

After hesitating for a while, Fidel faltered and said: "But it will arouse opposition from many people, especially the nobles. Some people may say, say..."

"They would say that you are the king of women, they like to use this method to slander people." Campos added.

Fidel nodded vigorously, this is what he wanted to say, but he didn't dare to say it.

Seeing that these two people not only didn't respond to himself as before, but also secretly threatened him, Alfonso could see the attitude of them, and even the aristocratic class as a whole.

Capitalists can have more cheap labor and common people can earn more bread. They will not have much objection.

The only trouble is the nobles who value honor and tradition. In their view, letting women from their own country enter the factory is equivalent to saying they are useless?

Alfonso has a headache, allowing women to enter all walks of life. He has been thinking about it for a long time.

Other countries don't use women, but Spain uses them. Doesn't rounding up mean doubling the population? Even if the effect is not so exaggerated, more than 1/3 is excellent.

In this matter, Spain has an advantage over other countries.

Catholicism is a religion that values ​​women. Even if there is some dissatisfaction in the society, it dare not stubbornly oppose it.

"Two, God created a man and a woman according to his own portrait. Both men and women are God's masterpieces. Can't men who are capable women do it?

Think about the benefits of this for Catalonia! "Alfonso said a little dissatisfied.

Seeing that Alfonso was a little angry, and even God moved out.

They couldn't continue to refute, so they had to reluctantly agreed: "Well, we will talk to the factory boss first, and then go to the civilian area to recruit a group of female workers.

However, we don’t know what the consequences of this matter will be. We don’t know whether we can proceed. "

Seeing that the two agreed, Alfonso was relieved that he now belongs to the king without real power.

The things mentioned so far can be passed smoothly, thanks to Campos, they are more obedient, and they have not touched other people's cakes.

...

Leo is a Catalan from Barcelona.

Relying on skilful riding skills, he joined the Pyrenees 3rd Infantry Division four years ago and became an honorable Spanish cavalry. Now he has the rank of sergeant.

He has a wife in Barcelona who is not beautiful, rich, but virtuous, and a 3-year-old son.

He feels very content and happy, and plans to add another child in the near future.

Three months ago, he heard that the queen had been overthrown, and then his infantry division was reorganized into a pile of scattered divisions and brigades.

The name of the army he served was also changed to the "First Catalan Cavalry Regiment", and the location remained unchanged, but it was the province of Girona.

Some people say that the general has rebelled, but the money he got hasn't changed, so he doesn't care.

He can go back to Barcelona every three months, but occasionally he feels a little homesick.

Perhaps God heard his prayer, and good news came two days ago.

Their place of service has been changed to near Barcelona, ​​so it will be very convenient to see their family in the future.

On the way to Barcelona, ​​he thought about the only infantry battalion still in the province of Girona. It was a bit strange-I hope they can stop the French.

Back in Barcelona, ​​the monitor gave them a day off to go shopping in the city and visit relatives.

He ran home excitedly, only to find that there was no one in his family.

"Is this a thief? Even if it is a thief, how about people?" The more he thought about it, the more anxious he ran to the door of the neighbor, Aunt Maria, and knocked on the door, "bang, bang," "bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang" ".

"Aunt Maria! Maria, is Maria at home?" He was anxious, he had never encountered such a situation.

In his mind, there are only two possibilities, one is that the whole family was stolen by a trafficker.

The other is that he suddenly came back and broke his wife's secret. His wife took the child to date other men.

In all fairness, he thinks both possibilities are very small, but otherwise it cannot explain the situation.

Fortunately, she didn't wait long before the burly Aunt Maria opened the door. There was still water on her hands. She should have been doing her job-washing clothes for people nearby in the yard.

Before he could say hello, he hurriedly asked, "Auntie, do you know where Monica has gone?"

Auntie looked at his anxious look, smiled, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her elbow, and said: "Don't worry, Monica is fine, I will tell you slowly."

Seeing each other's smile, Leo felt a lot more relaxed. Aunt Maria was the most enthusiastic, and she couldn't be so relaxed if there was a thing.

The two of them sat down at the door.

………

"Oh, that's why Monica went to work in the wool textile factory, and the child is being taken by my mother?"

Leo let out a sigh of relief, but soon, it was replaced by another kind of anger.

"Am I short of her food and clothing? Is the annual salary of 3,500 pesetas not enough for her? I want to leave the child and go to work?"

Seeing Leo's irritation, Maria persuaded: "Leo, don't worry, Monica is not the only one. Before, the government came to recruit people. They recruited one by one. Many people signed up.

She didn't discuss it with you because she was afraid that she could not catch up. She was ready to tell you when you came back next time. "

Leo was still very angry: "It doesn't mean that I can't do it? I eat frugally, 3,500 a year... Aunt, you can be fair, my income is the highest in this street, right?"

"No one says you can't do it... If I didn't have this laundry job, I would also go, many people want to go but can't do it... I don't know how many people envy Monica." The aunt patted his back and comforted. .

Leo calmed down a bit, but he still wanted to confront his wife:

"No, I'm going to ask Monica to see if my income is not enough for her. Iberia, how many years has it been, how can there be a woman like her?"

When he said that, he stood up and ran towards the wool textile factory.

Maria couldn't stop it, so she could only look at his back from behind and shook her head helplessly.
