The development of industry and commerce has provided a large number of job opportunities for the society, many of which are for women, such as textile factories, food factories, quilt factories, etc., these factories only recruited the lowest female workers at the beginning, but with the development of the factory, some prominent figures among the female workers began to be favored by the factory owners, and were promoted to help manage the factory. As a result, more and more factories began to have a group of female managers.

However, whether it is a female worker or a higher-level female manager, they have their own economic resources, and with the development of industry and commerce, human resources are more and more precious, in order to retain workers, the factory owner will raise the salary again and again, even if the salary of female workers is lower than that of male workers, but after several wage increases, the salary of a female worker is enough to support herself and her children, and the status of economic independence has been initially achieved.

Generally speaking, economic status is relatively equal to social status, even if the Central Plains Dynasty implemented a policy of suppressing commerce in history, the big merchants with a lot of money are still much superior to those poor people who can't eat. The same is true for the men and women who make up human society.

As more and more women become financially independent, their status in the family has also changed, and they are no longer vassals of men, but become truly independent people, even if the family breaks down for various reasons, they have the capital to survive.

It is precisely because of the above changes that the concepts of some women have also changed, which is for those unmarried women who are in puberty. The changes are especially significant. For example, some women are no longer passively waiting to get married, but have begun to take the initiative to accumulate some capital for themselves to marry. Make your own career before getting married, which is especially prominent in those poor women and business women.

In fact, when it comes to the career that a woman can do. There are really not a few, for example, poor women can enter the factory, and then perform well to do easy work, and even after accumulating a certain amount of money, they can also open a small factory by themselves, although there are not many opportunities to make a fortune, but they can also do without worrying about food and clothing. It is more convenient for a merchant woman, and it is very simple to open a few shops with the help of family resources.

With this capital, they can at least ensure that they will marry in the past. has the ability to speak properly, and is not bullied by her husband's family. Of course, there are a few talented women who have done their careers greatly, even better than most men, but such women have generally put their careers first, and as for marrying and starting a family, it has become unimportant, which is a good example.

Although Li Su did not test the IQ of Yifan, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng, it is according to preliminary estimates. They are definitely super geniuses above one hundred and eighteen, and it is precisely because of this that the three of them have achieved amazing achievements in their respective fields. However, this kind of achievement is not necessarily a good thing for a girl who is not yet eighteen years old.

Originally, Yifan was judged by Yuan Tiangang to die prematurely. Surely he will not live to be eighteen years old. It is precisely because of this that she never thought about getting married, and has been doing her favorite scientific research work. Not only the steam engine was designed, but also the train and the steam ship were designed one after another. Now he serves as the president of the Academy of Sciences, helping Li Su cultivate very key scientific talents.

But I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate? After she met Li Su. Like everyone else, his life has been changed, and the appearance of untimely death has disappeared, but it has become a blessing and longevity, and the appearance of indescribable preciousness. Originally, this was a good thing, but after Yifan's father Zhao Fu found out, he always wanted to tell his daughter about family affairs, but unfortunately Yifan never thought about getting married at all, she had her own career to do, and she didn't want to be the kind of noble lady who stayed at home every day. As a result, Zhao Fu couldn't convince Yifan, and finally begged Li Su's head, but unfortunately Li Su couldn't help with this kind of housework.

Originally, Li Su thought that Yifan was just a special case, but he didn't expect that even Feng Shuyu had signs of this today, although she was not as successful as Yifan, but she didn't want to marry and have children like other women, but was ready to stay by Xijun's side and make her own career.

Of course, this may be because Feng Shuyu did not grow up in the Tang Dynasty and received less education from women, in addition, some time ago she suffered a big change, suffered a lot of displacement, and was almost sold as a slave girl, and it is precisely because of this that she has an extreme sense of insecurity about society, so she wants to take her fate into her own hands, and staying by Xijun's side is undoubtedly an excellent upward channel, so she refused her brother to take her away, and made up her mind to do something by Xijun's side.

After understanding Feng Shuyu's thoughts, Li Su also understood this very well, after all, he came from later generations, although the equality between men and women had not really been realized, but this kind of thinking had also penetrated into the hearts of the people, even if it was Li Su, who was a man, although he did not agree in some aspects, but it was understandable.

Although Feng Shuyu believed Li Su, she also felt that her idea was really a little deviant, but to her surprise, Li Su not only did not object after hearing this, but also encouraged her a few words, and also told her to do a good job in Xijun, and don't forget to learn things, if there is any difficulty, just come to him.

Hearing Li Su's unexpected encouragement, Feng Shuyu was grateful, and at the moment he was excited to talk to Li Su about what he had seen and heard by Xijun's side during this time, looking at her appearance, it was no different from the little girl who had just entered the workplace in later generations, and Li Su could only act as a competent listener, and from time to time he would smile and insert two sentences to indicate his existence, which could also stimulate the narrator to be more excited.

It's just that Li Su is also thinking about it, with the improvement of women's status, this is bound to become a social problem, although this problem is nothing now, but one day it will be presented in front of everyone, it seems that he should think about it, how to resolve this problem.

Listening to Feng Shuyu's workplace adventures in the afternoon, Li Su felt much better, his stomach also felt hungry, and he didn't feel like he ate half a bowl more at dinner, and then after a beautiful sleep, the whole person's spirit finally recovered. And Li Chengqian and Li Ke were almost recovered, so after breakfast the next day, Li Su followed the two of them to visit Shanghai City.

The last time Li Su came to Shanghai, the whole city had just built a foundation, and many places were still just a messy construction site, and if it weren't for the endless flow of people, I am afraid there would really be nothing to see.

However, this time, Li Su clearly felt the changes in Shanghai, and the most direct impression was that Shanghai was much cleaner, unlike the last time he came, due to construction reasons, the whole city was full of dust. Now the streets of Shanghai are very clean, each section of the road has a special slave responsible for cleaning, and there are some trees planted on both sides of the street, but the trees are too big to transport, so they are all small trees, I believe that in a few years, it should be able to grow into a big tree that can enjoy the shade.

After a tour of the city of Shanghai, Li Su saw this kind of neat street, which happened to be working time at the beginning, so there were a lot of people on the street, most of them were workers in gray overalls, and there were also crew members with leisurely looks, they were all suspended in Shanghai, so the crew members were also on vacation by the shipowner, and most of them came to the brothel full of exotic slave girls on the other side of the dock, and these people who came out of the brothel had just come out of the brothel, and now they are recuperating, so one is more leisurely than the other.

He divided Shanghai into several districts, each of which is divided into residential areas and commercial areas, and in the suburbs of Shanghai, it is a piece of industrial area, because Shanghai is backed by Suzhou and Hangzhou, which is a famous silk production area, and Shanghai is no exception.

In the area near the sea, there are shipyards, as well as steel mills, lumber mills, and other factories that are associated with shipyards. The shipyards here in Shanghai are also newly built, but Shanghai, a port city, is developing very fast, and many shipbuilders are very optimistic about it, so the shipyards here seem to have risen overnight, and most of them have begun to take orders for shipbuilding.

There is a special shiptown in Dengzhou, which is full of shipyards, and Li Su didn't go there, so the shipyards have long been tired of it, so today I just went around these shipyards, and then I came to the busiest dock in Shanghai, which is also the dock where Sun's Restaurant where Li Su and Li Ke drank last time.

Taking advantage of the huge flow of people on the dock, the business of the Sun couple's restaurant was very hot, but when they saw Li Su and Li Ke, they immediately went upstairs to arrange a private room, and then served the wine and food in person, and greeted them very attentively. Because they are all old acquaintances, Li Su is not as polite as the couple, and he also specially asked about their business, to which the Sun couple also answered one by one.

After a day of wandering in Shanghai, in general, the current situation of Shanghai city is still very good, especially the public security problems encountered last time, which have been greatly improved when we meet again, and there are often street patrol officials passing by on the streets and docks, and the gangsters on the streets cannot be said to be completely absent, but no one dares to bully the vendors blatantly as before.

On the morning of the third day, Li Su was finally going to leave Shanghai, this time after he returned to Dengzhou, he was going to implement the currency reform of the Tang Dynasty, although the new coins issued this time were very few, and they were only used as an auxiliary currency, but this was an extremely important beginning, so Li Su had to operate it himself.
