In early August of this year, Chang'an Women's Textile College was established, and autumn recruitment was launched.
A total of more than 1,300 students signed up.
This is after a certain degree of screening.
If all were accepted, there would probably be more than 3,000 people.
So many students have been enrolled at once, and the new campus at Shengpingfang has not yet been built, so both classrooms and dormitories are very tight.
In order to relieve the immediate pressure, Luo Yong asked people to select nearly 500 people to go to Luo's Machinery Workshop.
Because many students from the Machinery Workshop had gone to Henan Road to build bridges, so some space was freed up.
Besides, this year In autumn, the machine shop was originally planning to conduct an autumn move.
By the time those students who built the bridge return, the machine shop will definitely be crowded again.
By then, the campus of the Textile College may have been almost completed, so some students will need to return.
In the future, who will be in the machine shop and who will be in the textile college will all depend on their own performance.
The two schools are in communication with each other and will be screened and adjusted every once in a while.
The machine shop trains engineers and researchers, as well as a small number of people who focus on academics.
The Women's Textile College mainly trains technical talents in textiles.
The gap between the two is quite large.
Under the flexible screening mechanism, the competition will definitely be cruel.
Luo Yong has high hopes for this machine shop, hoping that it will cultivate a group of outstanding female engineers.
Because of the lack of basic education, many female students have very poor foundations.
To achieve rapid growth in just a few years, this not only requires them to have extraordinary qualifications, but also to work twice as hard as ordinary people.
Many people have not yet discovered that due to Luo Yong's variable, the first industrial revolution that was supposed to occur in the 18th century has traveled thousands of years to this land in the 7th century AD.
From the moment the steam engine was successfully used in the textile industry, nothing could stop it.
The so-called first industrial revolution was the emergence of the steam engine.
Factories replaced manual workshops.
People's original production and life patterns were broken.
It represents too many meanings.
If we only look at it from the perspective of women, then various factories have sprung up all over the country.
The large demand for labor has made it easy for women to obtain job opportunities, which means that they can be self-reliant and no longer need to Survive by dependence on men.
The struggle for power and the improvement of status all start with breaking away from dependence.
Many people are still unable to see these major trends clearly, but Luo Yong sees them clearly.
It can be said that he has personally contributed to all of this.
Since we can see clearly, we naturally have to try our best to occupy a favorable position in these situations, such as setting up workshops, building bridges and paving roads, and laying a good foundation in various places.
Another example is to consciously establish closer and friendly ties with the female group to provide more diligent and qualified women with growth nutrients and opportunities for advancement, thereby gaining stronger and more powerful support from them in the future.
Recently, Chang'an Women's Textile College was building a house, and someone from the Ministry of Industry came to find Luo Yong, saying that they wanted to help him.
Luo Yong knew that the Ministry of Industry wanted to train talents for building houses, so he agreed, but made one request: "My textile college is all women.
If there are so many male craftsmen coming in and out, I'm afraid it will affect their reputation."
If you want to help me, please find some female craftsmen to come over."
Within a few days, the Ministry of Industry indeed arranged for a group of female craftsmen to come over.
There were actually quite a lot of them.
I heard that some of them were temporarily transferred from other places in the past few days.
After that, these female craftsmen lived at the Women's Textile College and participated in the construction of houses here.
At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, the status of women was not very low.
Women participated in all walks of life.
Even if the number was not large, there were still some.
Since the Song Dynasty, many taboos have gradually emerged.
It is said that women are unlucky and cannot touch this or that.

Before the Song Dynasty, these bad habits were rare.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we need to finish moving all these bricks before dinner, and there will be another batch tomorrow."
"Why do you look so weak again?
I just had lunch, but I'm hungry again."
Two female craftsmen walked out of the unfinished house and saw a group of female students from the Textile College outside the door moving bricks, but they looked weak, so they smiled and urged them to work faster.
The two craftsmen, one wearing a short jacket and the other wearing a Hu suit, were both arranged by the Ministry of Industry.
Within a few days of their arrival, they had already become close to the ladies here.
"I'm tired and hungry, I'm afraid I can't do anything anymore."
A young lady cried out.
"Then take a rest."
At this time, another woman came out of the room.
She was in her early twenties.
Her gray clothes made it obvious that she was from Luo's Machinery Workshop.
"Have a rest for a quarter of an hour and use some bread."
Clear water."
"It's easy to work here."
The female craftsman in Hu clothes said with a smile: "How can it be like this in our place?
We have a hot meal in the morning and evening, and only eat a few bites of pancakes at noon.
At noon here, I still have a hot meal, but I’m still hungry.”
"At such an old age, it is indeed easier to get hungry."
Another woman in shorts said with a smile.
"These female students only take turns doing ten days of work every month.
How come they get tired so easily?"
the woman in Hufu continued.
Not long after, a young lady came over carrying a basket of pancakes from the canteen.
As she walked, she called out: "Hey, today we are making baby corn and pumpkin pancakes."
When the people who were working upstairs heard this, they hurriedly poked their heads out to take a look: "Today we are eating tender corn and pumpkin cakes.
Go and get some.
Go, go, go."
In that moment, people who were under construction in several places nearby also got the news, and a group of women ran to the canteen.
It’s because what I ate today was tender corn and pumpkin pancakes.
If it were mixed flour pancakes, I wouldn’t be so enthusiastic.
This autumn, tender corn and pumpkin are not expensive in Chang'an City.
However, making this pancake is a bit troublesome.
You have to cut off the tender corn kernels with a knife and grind them in a stone mill, and then mix them with the cooked pumpkin.
The meat is pounded in a stone mortar until evenly pounded, then shaped into round cakes and cooked on a hot iron pot.
This pancake tastes very fragrant and tastes even sweeter.
The students in class who were closer over there had just smelled the aroma, but the construction site here, which was farther away, didn't smell it.
At this time, many people were rushing to the canteen.
Those who had already received the pancakes took one or two each and sat by the pile of bricks to eat.
It doesn't matter if you don't have a straw mat or a bench, just use a few bricks as a cushion and sit on them.
Some ladies are really tired and their clothes are already dirty, so they just don't pay attention and sit cross-legged on the ground.
At this time, some female craftsmen and female students came out one after another from the upper floors of the house.
The female students were from machine workshops and textile schools.
They were wearing different clothes and were easy to identify.

"Don't be tired, you little ladies.
Learn some skills from these ladies in the machine shop, and you may be able to make a lot of money in the future."
The lady in Hu clothes was eating pancakes while chatting with the young ladies.
The ladies said.
"We are here to learn weaving."
A young lady retorted.
"Don't be stupid.
It's not as fast as learning to build houses to make money.
Just wait and see, after a while, there will be many people in Chang'an who want to build high-rise buildings."
"That's not necessarily the case.
If you learn textiles diligently, you can also make money."
"No, I heard that a young lady from the machine shop received a lot of bonuses for improving the spinning machine." "" "I see you are quite talented, but why didn't you go to Henan Road to build a bridge this time?"
"At that time, houses were being built over there at the machine shop, so we couldn't leave."
"That's right, I just asked you to catch up on the work at the Textile School.
If you do this work well, you can earn a reputation."
"How did you become a craftswoman?"
"What can I do?
My mother is a craftsman, and my husband's family is also a craftsman.
Naturally, I will also become a craftsman.
If there is one more person in the family to work, I will get more wages."
"And this person, the man fell ill, so she had to pick up those things and go out to work on her own, thanks to the other craftsmen taking care of her."
"There is also that person, she has no brothers in her family, her Aye has raised her as a boy since she was a child, and taught her even crafts.
She is quite capable, but she studied carpentry, hahahaha, steel and concrete.
Even if you don’t understand, I can help you make doors and windows.”
"Magistrate Luo is also surprised that there are so many windows in these houses.
There are three large windows in a row on one wall.
There is hardly any wall left, all of which are taken up by windows." "" "It's time to start work, it's time to start work."
Not long after, I heard someone shouting not far away.
"Hey, it's time to start work."
The people here also stood up quickly: "After finishing the remaining work, we can have dinner."
Over here, the women in the Textile College are working and attending classes.
Over there, Zhou Xin was discussing logistical matters with Luo Wulang.
When it came to the students' winter clothes this year, Zhou Xin asked Wulang: "The weather has been getting colder these past two days.
When you go back today, remember to ask Azhi and the others.
This batch of winter clothes is ready.”
"It's only three to five days."
Wulang replied: "The first two days were enough, but a batch of poor workmanship was found.
They were also in a hurry and neglected management.
Now we are making repairs. ” "Their workshop has just been set up, which is a common thing."
Zhou Xin also said.
"What to do with those damaged clothes?"
After a while, he asked again.
"What could be changed was changed, and what could not be changed was dismantled and made into gloves and socks.
The ends of the cloth were also used to sew the soles of shoes.
Those women who had little sewing skills were asked to start with these gadgets."

Goro said.
He knows quite a lot about these things.
It is said that Ah Zhi and Huang Xianglan used to get work from the garment shops in Chang'an City.
Later, when the engineering school and the machine shop needed uniform clothing, they took over the job.
The two of them took orders from engineering and machine shops, then went to find a familiar garment shop to sew, and then checked the quality of the goods when they received them, so they could earn some money.
Later, the Chang'an Women's Textile College was established, and clothes were also made here.
A Zhi and Huang Xianglan worked together, and the orders from the engineering, machine shop, and Women's Textile College all year round were enough to support a workshop.
They jointly opened a garment workshop.
Huang Xianglan took back the rented yard from his family, and A-Zhi paid her half of the rent every month, which was considered half of the investment by both of them.
The remaining inputs and outputs were also divided equally.
They originally only planned to make orders for these schools.
Unexpectedly, not long after the workshop was opened, two barbarians came to place orders.
They wanted clothes similar to the ones in the machine workshop, but made of fabric.
Got better.
A Zhi and Huang Xianglan had no experience in setting up a workshop for the first time.
Now two big orders were crowded together.
They were buying cloth and rushing to work.
They were very busy.
The employees under them were in a hurry to work more and earn more.
When it came to wages, he also acted a little hastily, so something went wrong.
It is said that business in Chang'an City seems to be particularly easy in the past two years.
People are willing to buy everything, and many large and small workshops have also popped up.
I heard earlier that a young lady made flower soap and sold it on consignment in a shop.
It was originally a small business, just to earn a few small bucks and buy some dowry for herself.
She didn't want to be spotted by a businessman from out of town, so she decided to do it.
Placed a large order.
Later, several female relatives of the young lady's family worked together, and within a few days, they opened a flower soap workshop next to their home.
I heard that it is now doing well.
The foreign businessman who first placed an order with them now often...
There will be a return order.
Some people say that he bought the goods from Chang'an City and shipped them to other places to resell them to foreign merchants.
After buying them, he could make a lot of difference in price.
When these Hu merchants buy goods, they often do not pay much attention to whether the goods are cheap and high-quality.
What they consider more often is whether they can make a lot of money by reselling the goods after they are shipped back to the country.
Therefore, when these large and small workshops in Chang'an City deal with Hu merchants, they can often receive some very profitable orders, which attracts many people in the city who had never thought about opening a workshop to start thinking about it. .
When winter came this year, another big event happened in Chang'an City.
Earlier, someone from Chang'an organized a freight team to go to Lingnan.
They purchased a large amount of canned lychees and longans in Lingnan, and then loaded them at the port there.
They went along the coastline to the coast of Jiangnan, and then transported them along the rivers and canals.
After arriving in Luoyang, I finally got on the railway track from Luoyang and transported it all the way to the outside of Chang'an City.
This batch of canned lychee and longan was huge in quantity.
It not only impacted the originally expensive canned lychee and longan market in Chang'an City, but also gave many people in Chang'an the idea of going to Lingnan to transport goods.
Aunt Luo also discussed with Er Niang and Si Niang to organize a team to go to Lingnan to buy goods.
It happens that Er Niang will go to Jiangnan again in a while.
At that time, she will organize a fleet along the coast of Jiangnan and set off for Lingnan.

Luo Yong also agreed with this matter.
Even if he didn't care about how much money he could make, he still couldn't fall behind in this great wave of development.
The market in Lingnan cannot be underestimated.
Furthermore, if we want to develop maritime transportation, we need to start cultivating a team from offshore transportation. gd1806102:
