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

Huo Guang paused for a moment, for a moment he really wanted to open the head of his highness to see what was in his mind!

He said calmly, "If your Highness doesn't think it's a waste, it's fine."

Liu Tan said this originally to tease Huo Guang, to see if the other party would be angry, but Huo Guang's calm behavior made his hair stand on end, and he hurriedly said: "Just kidding, since it's so settled!"

Huo Guang sneered and didn't say anything else, he got up slowly and saluted Liu Tan, "In that case, the minister will leave."

Liu Tan looked at his back and couldn't help thinking. He was sure that he could win, but why did he have the illusion that he would lose for a moment just now?

He shook his head and stopped thinking about this question. After a while, Huo Guang came over with the result and said, "Your Highness has won."

Liu Tan couldn't help but smiled triumphantly: "Will you bet and admit defeat?"

Huo Guang's eyebrows and eyes were gentle: "Well, I am willing to admit defeat, what request does Your Highness want?"

Liu Tan tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have much to ask for.

After all, his family's prime minister is omnipotent, Huo Guang has done everything he can think of, and he has done things he didn't think of.

Apart from not being able to cook and having children, Huo Guang is almost omnipotent. What else can he ask for?

Liu Tan really couldn't figure it out, so he simply shook his head and said, "I can't think of it, forget it, the Prime Minister of the State can just talk about it casually as if I have nothing to do."

Huo Guang looked at him for a while before saying: "Your Highness can't think of it now, so let's leave it for later."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "Huh? Can you keep it? How long can you keep it?"

Huo Guang was silent for a while before he said: "Leave it to me or Your Highness for a hundred years."

Liu Tan was slightly taken aback. This means that as long as they live, this promise counts?

This is so bold. Both of them are young, and there are many variables in the future.

Liu Tan smiled and said, "President Guo is going to put his whole life on me, so I'm under too much pressure."

Huo Guang said casually: "Your Highness doesn't need to feel any pressure, anyway, His Highness can't do anything."

Liu Tan:? ? ?

Does this mean that he failed to rebel?Look down on him so much?

He raised his head and was about to say something when he suddenly remembered that his father was Liu Che.

Forget it, from the heart.

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan and was speechless. A smile flashed in his eyes and he changed the subject in a timely manner and asked, "Why was Your Highness so sure that there will be enough people to apply?"

After hearing this, Liu Tan sighed and said, "It's not all the fault of the Huns."

Huo Guang looked at him with some surprise: "What?"

Liu Tan said: "Have you ever noticed how old these little ladies who come to work are, and what is their family situation like?"

Huo Guang paused, he really didn't know about this, he is the Prime Minister of the country, so how can he have time to pay attention to these things every day?He just needs to get a result of someone or no one.

But when Liu Tan asked, he didn't answer, which meant that he had neglected his duty.

He was just about to say something, but Liu Tan had already excused him: "The Prime Minister of the State is busy with affairs every day, so he probably wouldn't pay attention to this. If I guess wrong every time, many of the girls here are orphans."

Suddenly, Huo Guang understood why Liu Tan said it was the Huns who committed the crimes.

Although the Huns plundered and plundered, although the casualties of the soldiers were not many, the casualties of the people were still quite a lot.

Because not all people can live in Shuofang City, but those who can live in the city are those with good family conditions.

There are also many villages and towns near Shuofang City. Shuofang City has been destroyed. Naturally, these villages and towns are not stronger than Shuofang City, and they are also the first places to be looted.

Under such circumstances, many families were ruined and many people died. Huo Guang didn't dare to report the whole situation before, for fear that Liu Tan would be so angry that he would take people to revenge on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Liu Tan took the initiative to speak up.

Even if the family is ruined, they still have to continue to live. It is okay for boys to say that they are usually raised by the clan. Although their life may not be very good, they can grow up.

It is very difficult for some half-grown ladies, especially those who have a little Susukida at home. They cannot farm by themselves, and it is dangerous to be single.

But the husband-in-law... If the clan is still there, they will not be given the opportunity to choose a husband of their choice. If the clan is not there, it is unpredictable what will happen after marriage, and most of them will be occupied by the man.

Therefore, it is most difficult for orphans to live, and now the imperial court has given them another way out by recruiting workers - working in the past by themselves and renting out the fields.

In this way, he can get the rent, and he can also get a wage, and he is working in the court, so there is some security.

Huo Guang also sighed and said: "Actually... there are more Xiaolangjun, some of them are just in their early ten years old, and His Highness didn't set an age before, so I accepted them."

Liu Tan was taken aback for a moment, his first reaction was how could child labor be employed?

But he endured it again. The basis for not employing child labor is that children of this age can receive education.

But now the northern countries don't talk about children. Most of the adults are illiterate. Even if these children stay at home, they still have to do things. Since they come, they will naturally accept them.

But in this case, wages cannot be paid equally.

It's not that Liu Tan is reluctant to part with that little money, but that it should be treated equally, wouldn't it be aggrieved to do too much?At that time, everyone will fish in troubled waters. Compared with the one who does the least, they will all get the same money anyway. Wouldn’t that be useless?

Liu Tan said: "Then change it to a piece-based payment. As for how to calculate it, you can figure it out yourself."

Liu Tan never intervenes indiscriminately in this regard, and he also believes that Huo Guang can handle this matter.

After the sights had begun to be produced vigorously, and some of them had been equipped, Liu Tan found that he had encountered a very serious problem—soldiers these days are not only soldiers, but also peasants and civilian husbands.

Originally, Liu Tan thought that after the first batch of sights were equipped, he could start to think of ways to train them.

After all, the sight also needs to learn how to use and adapt, and he even thought about it, because after the sight is issued, it basically follows this person, so in order to prevent these people from not caring, wanton damage to the sight, or even reselling it, he needs to collect it. part of the deposit.

Of course, the deposit is to avoid damage. As for reselling, it is very simple. The sights are very strictly guarded. Each archer is equipped with one. If there are too many, they are usually placed in the equipment warehouse. Officials go to sign to collect, and record as much as they receive. Once it is found to be lost or resold, it will be an extremely serious punishment, a punishment that no one from top to bottom can afford.

Even loss is a kind of punishment. If reselling is found, it is a direct death penalty.

At this point, it is impossible for Liu Tan to make good things and not use them, but he has to worry about being stolen by the Huns, so he can only use severe punishments as a deterrent.

But the biggest problem now is that he can't find anyone to adapt these sights, because everyone is working hard!

Liu Tan couldn't tell them not to do it, so he hurried to the training. After struggling for a long time, he went directly to Huo Guang and said, "I can't go on like this. I want to recruit soldiers from all over the northern border!"

Huo Guang was taken aback by him: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Tan said: "If you don't recruit troops now, it will be too late."

Huo Guang laughed: "How come, even if most of these soldiers are locals, even if they are not locals, they are still farming locally. How could it be too late?"

According to the custom of this era, soldiers will farm wherever they go with the army. However, as long as it is not a large-scale war, the place where soldiers usually farm will not be too far from their homes.

Liu Tan looked up at Huo Guang and said, "It's different, what I want is a professional army!"
