Chapter 595: A Rich Country and a Strong People
When the women heard this, they gathered together and started talking quietly.
"It's a good job to earn money."
"It's good, but I've never worked outside before. Is it okay?"
"What's wrong with making money? Why don't we give it a try?"
"In my opinion, forget it. It's better to stay home and take good care of the land. Harvesting more food is worse than anything else."
"That's the thing, but having a side job can also bring in more money. If I can really make money, I want to send my dog to school to learn to read and write!"
"How much money can I make? I'd rather spend all that time cultivating the fields and harvesting a few hundred more pounds of grain to earn that much money."
"Wait a minute, let me ask." One of the women said, then turned to look at Chen Qingqing. "Princess, if I were to work for you, how much would you pay us?"
"If you are willing to work, you can earn at least 600 coins a month, or even more."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.
"Did you hear how much the princess said she would pay?"
"I think they said they would pay 600 wen a month."
"Six hundred coins! Good heavens! If that's true, that would be seven ounces of silver a year. Wouldn't that make me rich?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect such a good thing to happen. If we could really do this for a few years, we would all become rich and powerful."
"Isn't this a dream?"
"What are you talking about? The princess is standing right here, how could she be fake?"
Hearing what everyone said, Chen Qingqing raised her eyes slightly, "So, what are you willing to do with me?"
"Yes, yes. We are willing to follow the princess." Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then it's a deal. I'll start preparing for the embroidery workshop when I get back. Someone will notify everyone when the time comes. During this time, you can help spread the word. As long as you have good skills, you can come and work for me."
"Don't worry, Princess. We'll do whatever you say. We'll be there whenever you call." The women nodded in agreement.
After returning to Anyang, Chen Qingqing immediately started to prepare for the embroidery workshop.
She transformed an unused courtyard in the princess's mansion into a space for an embroidery workshop.
She then arranged for people to post notices in various villages, detailing the specific requirements for recruiting embroiderers.
Including salary benefits, training arrangements, etc., it has attracted the attention of many women.
For a time, people in the streets, alleys, and fields were talking about recruiting embroiderers.
At the same time, Chen Qingqing sent people to inquire around, looking for craftsmen who were good at designing unique embroidery patterns.
Within a few days, a long line of women lined up in front of the embroidery workshop.
Chen Qingqing personally selected a group of skilled embroiderers as the first members of the embroidery workshop.
In order to get the embroidery workshop back on track as soon as possible, she selected several embroiderers with meticulous embroidery skills and lively and varied needlework, and specifically took charge of training new people who would join later.
From the most basic needlework techniques to complex pattern drawing, and then to how to choose the appropriate embroidery method according to different fabrics, comprehensive training was provided.
Under the leadership of Chen Qingqing, the embroidery workshop developed very smoothly.
The finished products from the embroidery workshop are unique in terms of color matching and needlework.
Once embroidery was launched, it was transported to various parts of the Daning Dynasty through caravans...
In just half a year, Anyang embroidery became famous all over the world, and orders from all over the country came in like snowflakes.
With the popularity of the embroidery workshop, other industries in Anyang are also developing rapidly under the promotion of Chen Qingqing.
In just three years, earth-shaking changes have taken place in Anyang.
The dilapidated village has been completely renovated, with roads paved with stone slabs and large houses made of blue bricks and tiles built in every household.
Under the leadership of Chen Qingqing, Anyang, which was once poor and backward, has become a prosperous place with complete infrastructure and people living and working in peace and contentment.
The news of Chen Qingqing's success in benefiting the people reached the ears of Emperor Chu Jiuqing, who praised her abilities and achievements many times.
He invited Chen Qingqing to Kyoto many times, hoping that she could fully promote Anyang's successful experience in the Daning Dynasty.
Chen Qingqing knew the intrigues in the court, and if she wanted to make changes throughout the country, it would inevitably affect the interests of certain people. This move was a thankless task.
In order to protect herself, she politely declined Chu Jiuqing's invitation.
Chu Jiuqing knew that Anyang had transformed from an unknown small county with poor people into a prosperous place in just a few years.
If its development model can be fully promoted in Daning, it will surely usher in unprecedented prosperity.
He then issued an edict, ordering all prefectures and cities to select smart, capable, young and promising officials and talented people to immediately set off to Anyang to learn its development model.
In any case, it is imperative to bring Anyang's successful experience back to other places, adapt to local conditions, and promote rapid local development.
The imperial edict was sent to local governments at an urgent speed of 800 miles.
With the promulgation of Chu Jiuqing's imperial edict, the entire Daning Dynasty was in an uproar, and the prefectures, counties and districts across the country also began to get busy.
Carefully selected young and promising officials and outstanding people from all walks of life set out on the journey to Anyang.
When Chen Qingqing learned that Chu Jiuqing had ordered people from all over the country to come to Anyang to study, she was filled with emotion.
Anyang’s prosperity today is inseparable from the support and efforts of every citizen.
Now that I can share my success story, if it can help more places escape poverty, it will be a great deed...
Thinking of this, she said to Zhou Jingyuan beside her,
"Sir Zhou, since the emperor has ordered officials from all over the country to come here to study, we must prepare in advance and impart Anyang's development experience to them without reservation, so that their trip will be worthwhile."
"Don't worry, Princess. I have made all the preparations and will fully cooperate." Zhou Jingyuan nodded repeatedly. He was now full of admiration for Chen Qingqing's talent and ability. She could do everything and understood everything. She was simply a god-like existence.
Chen Qingqing paused for a moment. "We alone are definitely not going to be able to handle it. Lord Zhou, you need to arrange for some people to compile detailed information on the key developments in Anyang and compile it into a booklet for distribution to officials across the country. In addition, you need to have people select some skilled artisans in various fields who are good at expressing themselves to provide on-site demonstrations and explanations."
"Princess, you are so thoughtful. I will do it right away and make sure everything is arranged properly."
