I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Huo Guang originally wanted to praise Liu Tan's idea, but soon he thought of a very troublesome problem: "Your Highness's method is indeed good, but the problem is... there is still a shortage of people."

It is no exaggeration to say that the city walls of Shuofang City were built with more people than the people used to build the city before. skilled work.

But the problem is that we can't be slow now, so we have to employ more people in order to be more detailed.

Liu Tan leaned on the table and lowered his eyes and said: "If you say you are short of people, you are also short of people, and if you say you are not short, you are not short."

Huo Guang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is little Kunmi going to send someone to His Highness again?"

Liu Tan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him: "What does it have to do with Lu Xuan?"

Huo Guang was a little surprised: "If he doesn't send someone to His Highness, where will His Highness go to find someone?"

Liu Tan pondered for a long time before saying: "In fact, we have always ignored some people."

Huo Guang frowned: "Who?"

He thought he was familiar with the situation in the northern border country, and no matter how he thought about it, he could not think of the neglected people mentioned by Liu Tan. If it was other counties and counties, it was their strategy that they had set up from the beginning. use.

In this case, where would be ignored?

Liu Tan didn't look at him, but his voice was firm: "Woman!"

Huo Guang was taken aback: "What?"

Liu Tan clasped his hands in a place that Huo Guang couldn't see, but he spoke in an orderly manner: "When we were thinking about problems before, we only considered men and ignored women. It's a waste of manpower."

Huo Guang said subconsciously: "A woman lacks physical strength, so how can she do it..."

Huo Guang suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and he suddenly understood what Liu Tan meant.

Liu Tan didn't know that he had already thought about it, so he opened his mouth to explain: "Women are indeed inferior to men in manual work such as building a city, and the efficiency is not high, but like this kind of manual work, women may not be inferior to men. What's more, women are naturally careful, and these things require fine manipulation, perhaps they can do better than men."

In fact, Liu Tan just wanted to refute Huo Guang's claim that women lack physical strength, but think about it, women are indeed weak in terms of physical strength, even if there are individual strong ones, the whole body is not good.

Moreover, its physiology also determines that the working hours are not as long as men's. It is impossible to prevent women from having menstrual periods and to prevent women from having children, right?

Liu Tan comes from a later generation. Of course, he doesn’t think that the value of women lies in having children, but it has to be said that a big man needs a population now. The strategy formulated by Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty to pay more taxes for women above [-] is still there. Even Liu You can't do anything with the mainstream thinking even if you talk about it.

So he had no choice but to follow Huo Guang's wishes.

Huo Guang looked thoughtful: "Your Highness really thinks it's okay?"

Liu Tan directly took out a stack of documents and said, "The Prime Minister can take a look. This is the situation in my place."

Huo Guang subconsciously didn't want to watch it at first, because it was Liu Tan's private property, and he didn't want to interfere too much, but he quickly realized that since Liu Tan let him watch it, it meant that there must be something he wanted to tell him.

After he opened the documents and took a look, he found that all the records on them were the personnel situation of the workers employed in the mine.

Huo Guang was a little puzzled at first, but after looking at it, he tasted something. Finally, he put down the paperwork and said, "Most of the people hired here by Your Highness are good people, and they didn't stop working during the spring plowing period."

Liu Tan breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Huo Guang must be able to see it, so he smiled and said: "That's right, my mine is basically all male workers, and most of these men have land at home, but they have been I have never been back to work here to farm. Some families even have three people, and as far as I know, the existing cultivated fields do not seem to be delayed because of this incident. All women."

Even if Liu Tan didn't take the initiative to ask women to do things, in fact, ordinary people have already started to do so.

There is no such thing as a concept that women cannot show their faces. It is true that women have a lower status, but it is also true that the bondage is less than that of later generations.

Liu Tan felt that if he didn't block this road now, it would be too difficult to tear it apart later.

He is not a pioneer of women's rights, but what he sees is different depending on his status.

When the population is small, everyone has to stand on the top, and the men have things to do, so they don't care whether the women are also in the top.

But once it comes to the prosperous and stable period, the population increases, but the number of jobs does not increase, and even the job opportunities decrease during the economic depression, then women are competitors in the eyes of men.

They will work hard to suppress the living space of women, and desperately want women to return to the family.

In fact, the reverse may also be the same, in essence, it is to compete for living space.

It's just that the big man is in a period of rapid development now, so there is no need to consider other things for the time being. Anyway, in Liu Tan's eyes, men and women are his subjects. .

Huo Guang pondered for a while and said: "Although it is feasible, after the spring plowing, the fields will have to be taken care of every day. Your Highness may not be able to recruit many people."

Liu Tan laid his hands on the table, shook his head and said, "You will know if you try it? Would you like to make a bet with me, Prime Minister?"

Huo Guang was aroused by him: "What are you betting on?"

Liu Tan said: "You say you can't recruit people, I say you can, so let's bet on this. The bet is...a meal, how about it?"

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows: "A meal?"

Liu Tan nodded: "Whoever loses will cook."

Huo Guang was silent for a while before asking: "Does the winner eat? Is His Highness punishing the winner? Or does His Highness think he can't win?"

The expression on Liu Tan's face paused, and then he remembered that Huo Guang was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He was originally a son of an official family, and even if Huo Qubing didn't take him to Chang'an, he would cook by himself.

As for Liu Tan, his craftsmanship is not bad, but he knows how to use rice cooker, gas stove, microwave oven and other tools. As for the current clay stove... there is a [-] to [-] chance that the products produced can be eaten.

Liu Tan also felt that this bet didn't seem very good. With this bet, everyone would be a winner and everyone would be a loser.

Liu Tan lay there thinking for a while and said, "I have a lot of rare jade wares here, but none of them are suitable for betting."

Those things were given to him by Liu Che and Chen Ajiao, and they could be regarded as imperial use. They were really given to Huo Guang. Huo Guang might wonder if Liu Tan thought he didn't like him and wanted to kill him.

Huo Guangding looked at Liu Tan and said, "Why don't you bet on a promise, the loser owes the winner a promise."

Liu Tan's eyes lit up: "I can have this, can I have anything?"

Huo Guang raised his eyebrows when he saw the expression on his face, "It's all fine."

He doesn't need to say what doesn't violate the law or violate the principles. The law...as long as it's not treason, as long as they can afford the money, they will be fine.

As for the principle, this thing is quite flexible.

Liu Tan suddenly thought about it: "Then...is it okay to let the Prime Minister wear women's clothing?"
