Chapter 613 - 611 Beautiful Young People (First Update)
Li Xianyun said what she said and done what she needed to do.
She asked Yuchi Hong if there was a large factory space in Yanzhou City that could be used for work.
The garment workshop was already quite crowded with over two hundred female workers. If these farmers also went to work there, they simply could not cope.
Moreover, with the garment workshop already full of women, if these farmers went there, it would be a mishmash of characters. In case any men harbored indecent intentions, or developed other sorts of ideas, all of these would be troublesome matters.
It would be better to set aside another place specifically for these farmers to work.
In fact, Li Xianyun had thought about letting them work at home. Almost every household had a loom and a cotton-spinning machine, so there was no need to provide these machines, which would be much more convenient.
But upon careful consideration, it was simply unfeasible.
First, it was difficult to manage, and second, some people would take the opportunity to pilfer the silk threads or cotton. If each household pilfered a little, the loss from so many households would be too much to bear.
So, it was still necessary to find a fixed place for everyone to work together and be managed collectively.
Yuchi Hong was not familiar with Yanzhou City either, and when Li Xianyun asked him, he turned to the government officers under him for answers.
