came out of Zongzheng Temple, separated from Su Mei and others on the way, Su and Kong returned to the East Palace, while Li Chengqian followed the old eunuch Fang to see the old man.

"Old Fang, I suddenly found that in the past few years, you old guy doesn't look old at all." On the way, Li Chengqian, who was in a good mood, joked with the old eunuch.

Li Chengqian, who traveled from later generations, has a good habit, that is, he never hates anyone easily, as long as the palace attendants don't provoke him, he will generally smile at them, even when he is in a bad mood, he will not be angry with them.

So when he was joking with the old eunuch Fang, the old man didn't think there was any irony in his words, but just smiled with feeling: "Your Highness is joking with the old minister again." ”

After all, people like them who are physically handicapped are often very sensitive and care very much about other people's comments, and an outlier like Li Chengqian is simply unprecedented.

"Okay, I won't tease you. Do you know what my father is looking for me? Li Chengqian stopped ridiculing appropriately.

"This old minister really doesn't know, but His Majesty specially instructed the old minister to go later!" The old eunuch Fang vaguely told Li Chengqian that although he didn't know what was going on with the emperor, at least he was in a good mood, otherwise it would never be possible for him to wait until the evening.

Li Chengqian nodded in understanding and stopped talking, secretly wondering what the old man was going to do.

It stands to reason that if there was something that should have been brought up last night, since it wasn't said yesterday, it was obviously not that important.

In this way, he came to the old man's study without saying a word, and after entering the house, Li Chengqian was like a tide of sycophants, and only after patting the old man comfortably did he try to ask: "Father, do you have something to do with your son?" ”

As a result, the old man turned his face faster than he turned a book, and the sky was still clear just now, but in a blink of an eye, it was cloudy and cloudy: "What? Can't talk to you if you're fine? ”

"Of course not, Erchen just thinks that your father and emperor have a lot of opportunities...... "Of course Li Chengqian will not be stopped by the old man like this, he has long been used to this kind of 'dog fight' between father and son.

"Count you kid who can talk." His Majesty Li Er snorted lightly, which was considered to be the end of the topic just now, and said after a pause: "You said that you don't bring a good royal guard all day long, but you take a group of women around, isn't this a bit excessive?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't expect the old man to care about his bodyguards, so he was stunned for a moment and said: "Father, it's not that the sons have to take them, in fact, the sons have a different purpose for doing this." ”

Comrade Li was very interested in Li Chengqian's explanation, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then tell me what your purpose is, and after this is over, let's talk about other things." ”

Yes, there are others!

Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, and secretly said that the old man was a little unkind, didn't he know that he had been 'vegetarian' for a year and a half, and he needed to 'add food' at night.

However, despite his depressed heart, the old man's question could not be answered, so Li Chengqian said after a short pause: "Father, in fact, the purpose of the son's performance is the same as that of letting Changle and Su Mei participate in the free medical project. ”

"Why?" The old man asked rhetorically.

"Of course, it is to improve the status of women in Datang, so that everyone realizes that women are not unable to do anything, and they are fully qualified for many jobs in Datang." Li Chengqian brought up the old matter again.

"Why are you so obsessed with this? First your sister, then your crown princess, I don't know why you have such thoughts, why do you have to let women work? ”

His Majesty Li Er does not agree with Li Chengqian's point of view, relatively speaking, he is still old-fashioned, thinking that women should be husbands and children at home, and it is good to have men and women when they go out to work or something...... Hey.

But Li Chengqian knows that it is a historical necessity to improve the status of women and arrange suitable jobs for them, and perhaps the old man cannot see this now, but he will soon use facts to prove that the old man's thinking has seriously lagged behind the development of Datang society.

So after a short hesitation, Comrade Xiao Li coughed lightly and said: "Father, I don't know if you have found it, my Datang is now seriously short of labor?" ”

His Majesty Li Er was silent, because what Li Chengqian said was right, the labor force in Datang was indeed insufficient, and this did not need to be given as a practical example, it could be fully reflected from the needs of the population alone.

Why would he agree to register those millions of fugitives? Why would he be happy watching the growing population? Is it just for someone to go to war?

No, what he needs is labor, he needs a lot of labor, and only when there are more people will there be more wealth, more people will go to farm, and more taxes will be paid.

I have to say that His Majesty Li Er's thinking is still very old, and the use of the people of the Tang Dynasty is still stuck in the single job of 'farming'.

But this also fully shows that Datang really needs population.

"Father, it takes sixteen years for a strong laborer to be able to work from birth (the sixteenth of the Tang Dynasty is adulthood), but we can't wait for sixteen years, and now we have a lot of work that needs to be done, so we can only think of ways to let those women who are staying at home take the initiative to take on some work."

"In terms of wealth, we talk about opening up sources and reducing expenditures, and we must do the same in the use of manpower, when there is no large number of labor to fill the society, we can only find ways to mobilize all the people."

"So Erchen is leading by example, taking himself as a benchmark, waking up the people of Datang and letting them know that women can actually work, and they can do a lot of work."

"As long as those women who stay at home come out and participate in social activities, my Datang is almost equivalent to an invisible increase in half of the labor force, although these people are not strong laborers, but some light physical work they can still complete."

Li Chengqian Luoli talked for a long time, and finally expressed his meaning clearly, and then he could only wait for the old man to judge whether to improve the status of women, and whether to let women come out of the house to participate in work.

After a long time, the silent old man asked him a question under Li Chengqian's gaze: "Your idea is good, but have you thought about it, how many people in Datang will agree with your point of view?" Do you think that if you take this to the masters, how many people will support you? ”

Faced with the old man's question, Li Chengqian said with a helpless wry smile: "Father, it is precisely because those masters will not support the sons and daughters, so the sons have to make this decision, planning to improve the views of the people of my Tang Dynasty little by little from the bottom up, and form an established fact among the people, so that even if the stubborn guys do not support it, it is estimated that there is no good way to deal with it." ”nt
