The Wannian Elder Princess left, and the Taoist temple was half empty.

Anne was not too worried. There were too many poor women in the world, and there were countless women who were not tolerated by the world.

Qingquan Temple has already gained its reputation, and Anne's "expert" character is also managed very well.

Whether it is medical skills or martial arts, they are very attractive to children from poor families.

Annie ordered people to spread news again that Qingquan Temple was preparing to start the "Daoyuan Class".

The Daoyuan class does not spread Taoist knowledge, but teaches students free of charge such as medical skills, cooking skills, weaving and even printing and dyeing.

Since ancient times, Chinese people have believed in the saying "Craftsmen who can't starve to death in the deserted years". As long as they have a craft, it is like having an iron rice bowl. They can't starve to death in the deserted years, let alone a peaceful and prosperous era.

Medical skills, cooking skills, weaving and other things are closely related to people's lives.

Ordinary people want to learn such skills, either they have no way or they have a way but they still have to be exploited.

Nowadays, if you want to learn other people's skills, you must be an apprentice.

During the apprenticeship, you not only have to work for free, but you have learned it, but you also have to do a few years of work for your master as agreed, or how much money you can "respecte" the master.

Many children from poor families can be a cattle and a horse for their masters for half their lives in order to learn a craft.

But now, Qingquan Temple teaches people crafts for free, and Qingquan Temple’s master’s medical skills are very popular among the nobles in the capital, and their skills are absolutely superb.

If she comes to teach in person, it will cost money and someone will rush to come.

Not to mention free.

As soon as the news came out, countless people came to sign up, and the newly built mountain gate was almost squeezed out by people who flocked to it.

Unfortunately, Qingquan Temple is a female Taoist temple, and the "Daoyuan Class" only recruits girls.

However, just girls are girls. If children can learn more skills, it will be a huge capital to get married in the future.

Besides, if your daughter has learned the skills, she can secretly teach her brothers at home after she goes home.

The owner of Mingjing Temple did not make any clear statements, so he was not allowed to spread his skills!

In this way, many families who do not value their daughters have this idea and endured the heartache of losing a labor force, and sent their daughters here.

In just half a month, Annie's "Daoyuan Class" recruited more than 300 female students.

In addition, Anne hired a group of female workers to reclaim all the land around Wuming Mountain.

As for what to plant after plowing the land, Annie didn't say that she just asked the female workers to fertilize more.

After the Daoyuan class was enrolled, Annie divided the more than 300 people into six classes based on the students' wishes and personal circumstances.

Some classes specialize in medical skills, while others learn weaving and embroidery... There are so many classes, each class has forty or fifty people, and Anne can't teach it alone.

Fortunately, the female Taoist priests in Qingquan Temple have learned it. They may not be able to reach Anne's level, but there is no problem in teaching some children without foundation.

Not to mention, Annie also wrote corresponding textbooks specifically, and female Taoist priests only need to follow those textbooks to teach.

Annie is not completely uninvolved in teaching. She will personally give gifted girls a small meal.

"Daoyuanban" is free and also provides food and accommodation.

But this does not mean that students can just put on clothes here to reach out and send them to the ladies who need to work in their spare time.

The hygiene of the dormitory and the cleaning of the school are the foundation. They also have to reclaim wasteland on the mountains, pick wild fruits and vegetables, pick firewood, beat pig grass, or make medicinal materials, etc.

These jobs sound a lot, but they are not very tiring. At least for farmers who have been accustomed to working since childhood, it is very easy and casual.

They even feel that being in the "Daoyuan Class" is much better than being in their own home.

At least in Daoyuan Class, as long as you work hard and study hard, you can eat and wear a good meal.

But at my own home, I have worked a lot, but I can’t eat enough. Nothing else, it’s because I am a woman!

Therefore, the students in the Daoyuan class cherish this hard-won opportunity very much.

He studied very hard and never was lazy even when he worked.

Time soon entered March and spring plowing began.

The Wannian Princess, who had arrived in the northwest border, did not forget Anne's request while busy with military affairs.

She ordered people to collect many cotton seeds, some well-bred seedlings, and more than a dozen experienced local old farmers sent them to Qingquan Temple together.

Hundreds of acres of land have been reclaimed, fertilized, and the canals have been dug, just waiting for the seeds to go to the ground.

Now that the seeds have come, Anne hired peasant women around her to work.

Farming is very hard, but who is not working hard these days?

Those female workers soon had the same feeling as the female students in Daoyuan Class: they all worked, but they were not full at home and were even rolled down by others; but in Qingquan Temple, they could eat and wear warmly, and they could stand up straight.

The female workers are much better than the female students. They work for Qingquanguan, and in addition to having free meals, they can also get wages.

Six copper coins a day, and one hundred and eighty coins a month.

Their men went to the town during the slack season and worked in the city, and they might not be able to make so much money in a month.

When the female workers think that they can make money for their family, and that they earn no less than the "pillar", they feel proud from the bottom of their hearts.

Unfortunately, there are only so many jobs in Qingquan Temple, and there are so many of them, and they can finish it in just one month.

It would be great if Qingquan Temple could hire them all year round.

The female workers had ambitions in their hearts. When they chatted with Miao Shan, who was in charge of the farm, they seemed to say a few casual words.

They were just tempted by luck, but they didn't expect that they really got the answer they wanted from Miaoshan-

"Our Qingquan Temple transports a lot of wool from the northwest, and these wool can also be woven into threads and then made into blankets and clothes."

"The master said that whether it is spinning, weaving carpets or weaving clothes, we need a large number of employees. Our Qingquan Temple is a female Taoist temple, and the helpers hired can only be women..."

The female workers were so excited that they could not scream to the sky.

Isn’t it just spinning thread or weaving cloth? How can there be no farmer’s women?

This is much easier than working in the field.

If Qingquanguan really invites them to do work, it doesn’t matter if the wages are low, just to have work to do it all year round!

The subsequent facts told the female workers that Qingquanguan not only had work to do all year round, but also paid a lot of money.

It is May, and the northwest wool has arrived.

A few Hu people who were accompanied by the eldest princess who helped him get. Those people were proficient in carpet weaving, printing and dyeing and other techniques. With their professors, Qingquanguan's wool textile workshop was quickly started.

The first batch of 200 female workers were hired. After the exotic carpets, tapestries and other wool textiles were sent to the East and West Market, they were quickly sold out, and the workshop expanded again.

Annie ordered people to hire the second, third and nth batch of female workers.

Those female workers sit in a comfortable house to work, and they cannot blow the wind or rain, but they just spin and weave threads and cloth, which is much easier than working in the field, but they can earn a lot of copper coins.

The economic foundation determines the superstructure, which is true.

Unconsciously, the lives of ordinary people around Qingquan Temple and even the entire capital were quietly changed, and the status of women was unknowingly improved...
