Spinning, weaving, and dyeing are all processes that require relatively large spaces.

If a weaving workshop could be opened in Sunjiazhuang, the children in those schools could see and touch it, and they would work harder to learn the knowledge taught to them by the Master.

The vast majority of farmers are very hard-working, especially when they see the opportunity to change their destiny right around them.

Things like Sun Yao's delusional thoughts will be stopped, and the possibility of a second Sun Yao will be eliminated.

The more Shen Yingxia thought about it, the more she felt that Zhou Yu's proposal was good: "Well, how many vacancies do we have in Zhuangzi? Are there any suitable houses?"

"Although the young lady doesn't come here often, Zhuangzi is a residence after all. If the weaving workshop is really built in the house, people coming and going will inevitably cause trouble."

Zhou Yu waved her hand.

"It's true that I didn't think carefully. Does Zhou Yu have any ideas?"

"Isn't there a school on the east side behind our village? There is a large open space on the west end! How about building a few new houses there? We can put some bamboo poles in the remaining open space for use when we go back to dry the cloth."

"Hmm, it's close to the stream there. A lot of water is used for bleaching, dyeing and washing!" Shen Yingxia recalled the terrain behind Zhuangzi.

"That's it! I'll ask A Niu to find the masons in the village and the men who don't have time to help. It will all be done in a few days!"

"Yeah, yeah, be more generous with money, and the village will make things easier for us in the future."

"That's the truth!" Zhou Yu was very pleased.

"I'll leave this matter to Zhou Yu! You can tell Aunt Qiu directly about the specific expenditures, and she will prepare the accounts and report them to me later."

"Hey! In addition to the house, I'm afraid we also need to build a wall. This thing of ours is precious after all."

"Well, find two trustworthy young people to guard the warehouse every day. How many carpenters are there in Sunjia Village?" Shen Yingxia added. “Three! One master and two apprentices. The eldest apprentice has studied longer and should be able to graduate within the next two years.

"I've seen the little one before. He's still a baby. He can only do odd jobs, so there's no hope for him yet. I'll give it a try, maybe two and a half!"

Zhou Lao thought of the child who was learning to be a carpenter, and her eyes were full of smiles.

While talking, Aunt Qiu had finished counting the two rooms, holding an abacus and bamboo slips in her hands to make calculations.

"Female, if we want to produce original color fabrics before Zhengdan, we need at least two spinning wheels and three looms. As for female workers, we can recruit five people first, including at least two experienced people. If we add bleaching and dyeing, we will need more manpower. It’s more.”

Aunt Qiu handed over the bamboo slip.

Shen Yingxia looked at the numbers on the bamboo slips and nodded: "Zhou Yu, there is a slack season in the village, so there should be a lot of hard-working girls idle, right?"

"That's right! After the autumn harvest, every family is free. Girls usually just plant vegetables and collect firewood. How about I find a few honest and willing people for you to try?"

"Yes! The experienced ones will come from our cloth shop, and the remaining three people will find honest and willing people from the village and learn from them. The additional manpower will be given priority from the school."

After Shen Yingxia arranged this, Zhou Lao and Aunt Qiu both nodded with satisfaction.

A girl's low status in the family is not only affected by the social environment, but also because it is the son who makes money and contributes to the family.

A little girl from a farm family has to rely on her father and brothers if she wants to have food to eat.

But if girls can support themselves, they will naturally have the confidence and have the courage to resist when they are bullied.
