Chapter 39 Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky

Meng Jiucheng didn't dare to say that "women can hold up half the sky", but just patted Guo Chen's shoulder with a smile and said: "As long as the city is built quickly and well, the county magistrate will definitely agree." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe women among the homeless people can get a household, and they are not afraid to show their heads. Well, as long as you break down the pay for each type of work, it is not uncommon for other men's teams to recruit some women. ”

In the Song Dynasty, there were also women who bound their feet, but most of them made their feet look straight and good-looking, far from the point of hurting their muscles and bones and approaching disability in the Ming and Qing dynasties. And the women in the north do not have this bad habit, most of them are rough, even if they are not as strong as men, there is no problem in working.

Moreover, although it is certainly less than that of men, it is not only fair to do as much as it takes, but also provides an opportunity for women who rely only on porridge and relief to earn rice and eat enough.

As for the recruitment of women in the construction team of men, it is not impossible as long as the division of work types is meticulous and the calculation of the amount of work is accurate. For example, how to calculate the transportation of a cart of soil, and how much rice and grain to give for digging one side of soil, as long as there is a standard acceptable to both parties, much more work and less work will be done, and no one will suffer.

Meng Jiucheng said while thinking, and Guo Chen nodded again and again.

"Brother Meng is too smart." Guo Chen had to express his admiration after hearing this, he thought that this was just a method that Meng Jiucheng came up with because of Qiao E's touch, but he didn't know that these were all borrowed from Meng Jiucheng, and they were not so magical.

The so-called teamwork and overall management is a very deep knowledge. And Meng Jiucheng just tried to make full use of manpower and material resources, put more effort into the rules and regulations and the detailed division of work, and then incentivized through the form of contracting, which can be regarded as a relatively rudimentary use.

But these measures are very different in the eyes of others, and they are very whimsical. The result is also obvious, the city construction project is done quickly and well, and the government and the displaced people benefit from each other, can they do it so beautifully if they are replaced by another person?

While eating, drinking, and talking, a woman on a donkey stopped in front of the store, walked in, ordered food, and sat down to eat.

"By the way, when will your mansion be repaired?" Guo Chen thought of something again, and asked Meng Jiucheng: "When the housewarming is officially moved, it will be very lively." Brother Wang, Brother Jiang, and Tang Niangzi must be invited, and there will be no shortage of banquets, singing and dancing. ”

What do you want? Meng Jiucheng suspected that Guo Chen was using this introduction to see Tang Xi again, so he didn't dare to agree easily. If she wants to invite, not to mention whether she can avenge Tang Xixi before, she will come nine times out of ten.

But Meng Jiucheng knew that this was someone who gave him face, so he naturally had to treat him politely. But Guo Chen, because they are in that era, their thinking has the characteristics of the times, and they look down on women, and even a little cheap.

Don't look at Guo Chen's love and respect for Tang Niangzi, but either inadvertently, or in his bones, he still regards her as a Qinglou woman. When you meet, you have to let people play the piano and sing songs, isn't this cheap? And Guo Chen obviously doesn't have such an awareness, and he can't treat Tang Xixi as a friend like Meng Jiucheng.

This is a deep-rooted social concept, a long-term developed behavior and thinking pattern, if you want to change, how easy is it to say? And the idea of equality has become a stereotype in Meng Jiucheng's heart, and it is difficult to change.

Maybe I don't feel it after one or two contacts, but after a long time, I will feel that I am with Meng Jiucheng, and I feel comfortable and like a spring breeze. That kind of respect and closeness is natural and deserved, without the slightest hypocrisy.

Therefore, Tang Xixi, Rong'er, Mingdang, and some others are all willing to get along with Meng Jiucheng. The reason is very simple, no matter your status or status, if Meng Jiucheng is not very annoying, he rarely commands and despises.

Guo Chen naturally didn't understand this truth. In his mind, Tang Xixi was close to Meng Jiucheng, firstly, because he wanted to take revenge with his help, and secondly, because Meng Jiucheng was talented and learned, but he thought of a deeper layer.

Seeing that Meng Jiucheng was just laughing, but didn't answer, Guo Chen couldn't help but be anxious, pushed Meng Jiucheng, and said, "What? When it comes to Tang Niangzi, she is so unhappy, but she is thinking about how many people are lively, how can a certain family have any other intentions? Who doesn't know that the Tang lady is favored by you alone, since the employment period of Yingchun Fang expired, she lived in the newly bought mansion and made that plan to be good. Your fragrance workshop, she must go every day, right? ”

Alas! Meng Jiucheng sighed, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Brother Guo, if you regard Tang Niangzi as a friend, it is not difficult to invite you to be a guest and have a good time. ”

Guo Chen blinked his eyes, not understanding the meaning of Meng Jiucheng's words for a while.

Alas, Meng Jiucheng sighed again and said more clearly, "If Brother Guo only regarded Tang Niangzi as an Oiran and a woman in the Qinglou, she would come and drink, play the piano and sing songs...... Hehe, this is going to make it difficult for the little brother to do. ”

"You don't mean that, do you?" After Guo Chen finished speaking, he couldn't help frowning, he really made Meng Jiucheng right, he may not think so, but when he met, he would still do it unconsciously.

Seeing Guo Chen frowning and thinking about it in a daze, Meng Jiucheng smiled faintly and said, "Brother Guo definitely doesn't think like this, but this behavior is suspicious of being cheap. Brother Guo and Brother Chen probably thought that I learned by talent, or that Tang Niangzi asked me for something, so they got close to me. Actually, it's not! ”

Guo Chen didn't seem to understand, Meng Jiucheng didn't say much, asked, he was full of wine and food, so he got up and went out of the restaurant.

"Brother Guo can go to the Xianglu Workshop, this is everyone's joint stock, you and I can't ignore it." Meng Jiucheng wanted to break up with Guo Chen, and said with a smile: "Besides, Brother Chen has been gone for three days, and he is estimated to be back soon." If the investigation is real, we must also recruit manpower and make a quick decision without delay. ”

Guo Chen was still pondering Meng Jiucheng's words, and when he heard this, he nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Wang and Brother Jiang are not far away, and it will only take half a day to come and go. If you are in a hurry, let Lao Liang find some people to use it. ”

Meng Jiucheng was a little hesitant, there were many strong men in Liang Datie's construction team, and there were a few brave people, but after all, they were not from the government, and if there were dead or injured, it was not easy to deal with them. It's just the archers and officials in the city, and they are not hard hands who can desperately move forward.

"Okay, people who use Liang Datie in a hurry." Meng Jiucheng gritted his teeth and said, "If there are dead or injured, I will apply to the county magistrate for a bereavement pension for them." It's a big deal, just pay for it yourself. ”

"It's just a few chicken feathers, there are Brother Wang, Brother Jiang, and a certain family, well, plus Brother Meng, they can almost hold it." Guo Chen doesn't look down on thieves, and he doesn't care too much about killing people and goods.

"You have to catch them all, if you get out of one, it's not perfect." Meng Jiucheng still cautiously instructed a few words.
