.New Women

After Liu Xie said that, he asked Huang Wudiao to serve as the general sacrificial ritual of the General Administration of Competition. Chen Qun and the other two were confused and hurriedly advised: "Master, you must not!"

Liu Xie expected that they would definitely object, so he laughed and said, "I am not on a whim. Just about ability, I saw that although she had no position in the army, she was in charge of a battalion but was very easy to manage. In terms of competition, none of you three are their opponents. I have thought about it. To promote the style of a great national for the people of the empire, and men should not be divided into men and women. Men should also be strong, independent, brave, united, decisive, and sober. Women should also go to the style of a great national. Those who have the ability will come out to participate in the construction of the empire. What I really oppose is that you old people, don't worry about ordinary people and young people in the empire. They just think it's new and interesting. After a long time, Huang Wudie has made achievements, and the empire will also acknowledge it!"

Chen Qun said: "The emperor has always advocated the concept of division of labor within trading companies. I think men and women also have division of labor, and the division of labor at home is also division of labor. The male leads to the outside and the female leads to the inside. This is the foundation of humanity!"

Liu Xie pointed to him and smiled and said, "Integrity, filial piety, benevolence, etiquette, loyalty, trustworthiness, these are the ways of being a human being. Without a female rule, it is the foundation of humanity. So, you say that Huang Wudie can do this, ability and energy, including her social relationships, can she complete it? I think she can complete it. With the background of the Huang family and the wife of Guo Jia, she has enough connections and abilities to operate the General Administration of Competitiveness, and even if she really takes office, if you have something to help, can you refuse? It depends on the face of Guo Jia and General Huang. You dare not not support it. As a new thing, if it wants to succeed, it must obtain the entire empire.

The support of the upper class is compared to the transfer of a young man from the military academy or other academy. Or the transfer of a young man from the Zhiluo Mansion, Huang Wudie, oh, it should be called Guo Huang Wudie. She has support and interpersonal relationships within the entire upper class to operate many things that others cannot operate. From the perspective of ability, her years of military experience and good education have enabled her to manage the foundation. From the perspective of personality, she is a very decisive woman, who does whatever she says, and can be said to be a woman who dares to do it. This is the model of the new empire woman I want to carry out, so the position of the competitive general sacrifice was given to her."

After saying this, Liu Xie paused and said, "Actually, I want to bring up a typical example so that the empire can accept the phenomenon of women participating in empire construction and adapt to this trend. You also know that the most important trading companies in the empire are the textile industry and construction industry. The development of the textile industry has always been restricted by several aspects and lacks good technology. There is a lack of good transportation channels, but the most lacking is qualified female workers. Textile is a profession that traditional women engage in. Whether it is a traditional woman, the empire's employees or servants are all male. So, I must encourage women to work, otherwise the textile industry will be difficult to develop. You also understand the actual needs hidden behind my arrangement. This is a demand within the empire. We should not ignore it. We must follow the needs, so we don't need to discuss this matter!"

Zhang Zhao has been in charge of the economy for many years and has the most insights into what Liu Xie said. He immediately said: "The emperor has such a deep intention. That minister and others should support him!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhao had already let go, Chen Qun and Xun had to say together: "I understand!"

Liu Xie nodded slightly. He said: "The Central Imperial Court, the General Administration, and the National Court's decision on a matter is correct. First of all, the criterion must be judged whether there is such a demand in the empire. If there is a demand, then the decision will be correct, and reform and new policies can be passed. What I advocate today is the new women in the empire, and they require them to bear some of the social and economic pressure. For urban people, relying solely on a man to work hard outside may not be able to fully support it. If the wife also bears part of the economic pressure in the trading company, the family will easily live well, and the consumption within the society will also increase. Perhaps, hundreds or thousands of years later, some people even propose equality between men and women and feminism.

I think there is nothing to be surprised. This shows that the actual owners of the empire had reached their peak in the society. They not only needed men to make goods for them, but women to make goods for them. People, they are resources. I once said that ore, water, land, and ocean are resources for the empire. People, in fact, people are also resources. With a population of 40 million, only 20 million men provide personal resources for the empire. This is obviously unreasonable. For the actual owners of the empire, we desire more people to serve the empire, provide taxes for the empire, and create goods and money for trading companies and farmers. These needs and pursuit of interests are the foundation of our implementation of the new policy!”

Chen Qun sighed and said, "What the emperor said is really a sober word!"

Liu Xie felt a little tired and immediately said, "This is what I said between you and the three of you. It is also beneficial for you to implement the new Kyoto policy. As for you, you are now one of the owners of the empire. The capital of the three of you companies is combined. Even if the silver dollar is calculated, it can be measured by billions. Aren't you still considered one of the owners of the empire? Well, I am tired too. You go back and rest. It's getting late. I will meet Guo Huang Wudie tomorrow and see how the General Administration of Competition should plan!"

Chen Qun took the lead and bowed, "That minister and others will take their leave first!"

The next day, Liu Xie asked Chen Qun to draft an imperial announcement of a new feminine style, and asked local schools under the jurisdiction of the Taoist government to start branches of women's schools. Women's schools added special courses such as female red, tea art, mulberry cultivation, textile, medicine, drama, song and dance, and also taught basic natural sciences.

Guo Huang Wudie came to the Imperial Palace in the afternoon, and Huang Zhong was also present at the place where he came together. Liu Xie was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Huang Zhong and his daughter to enter the palace.

After the two visited, Liu Xie first asked Huang Zhong how he was in good health recently. Huang Zhong smiled and said, "Xie Sheng was worried that he would be in good health. Unfortunately, the empire is peaceful and there is no place for ministers!"

Liu Xie laughed and said, "The old general should be relieved. The general has no use of his power, which means that the empire is peaceful!"

Huang Zhongfu said, "It's time to be relieved!"

Liu Xie talked to Huang Zhongxian for a few words, and then asked Guo Huang Wudie directly if he was willing to become an official? Guo Huang Wudie felt very strange. Huang Zhong was also very strange and immediately asked: "Master, why did you let your little girl become an official?"

Liu Xie immediately talked about the idea of ​​the General Administration of Competition and their father and daughter, and said: "The Chinese Athletic Games is one of the most grand gatherings in the future of the Empire, and the Hundred Schools of the Empire and the Tianjing Festival. www.piaotian.com.com includes the planned Four Seas Trade Fair. These are the four major gatherings of the Empire. Can football be promoted to all parts of the people and make the Empire keen on fitness and competitive sports such as horse racing, football, and long-distance running. This is an important responsibility of the General Administration of Competition. I have selected Guo Huang Wudie after choosing it!"

Guo Huangwudie was overjoyed and said, "I am willing to take this position!"

Huang Zhong hurriedly glared at Guo Huangwudie and said, "He is married, the child is three years old, why are you going to do?"

Liu Xie smiled and said, "The old general does not need to be anxious. I have already said hello in advance, and no one has opposed it. As for Guo Jia, I believe it is not a problem!"

Huang Zhong said: "Since the emperor has made the arrangements, the old minister dare not object. But if the little girl does this, isn't the official position higher than Feng Xiao? The old minister doesn't know how to explain to Feng Xiao!"

Liu Xie laughed and said, "Don't worry, the old general, didn't Guo Jia tell you when he went back? I have decided to let him serve as the Inner Court Minister of the Crown Prince's Mansion, or as the future Minister of the Imperial Court. Although he is only a counselor of the Imperial Court, he is not in good health. I dare not give too much blame. After Mrs. Guo was appointed as the General Sacrifice of the Athletics, if there is any difficulty, you can ask Guo Jia. The couple is united, and I don't believe that the General Sacrifice of the Athletics cannot operate it!"

Huang Zhong was overjoyed and immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness!"

Liu Xie also smiled and said, "Let me do this, I will ask someone to pick up Guo Jia and Huang Xu. Today, your family will have a dinner with me in the Imperial Hall!"

Huang Zhong and Guo Huang Wudie were each happy and immediately replied: "Thank you for your gift!"

That night, Huang Zhong and his family had dinner with Liu Xie, and the two families gathered together in the same hall. It was a bit lively than usual. Cai Yan whispered to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty can also invite Chen Qun and his family to have dinner in the future, which is also a good thing!"

Liu Xie understood Cai Yan's meaning and immediately agreed to say, "Then let's meet Chen Qun. On the first day of next month, I would rather set a rule on this matter than bring my wife and eldest son to the palace for a banquet. The royal family invited some important officials and their families to come every day of every month, so as to save the favor of one and the other!"

Cai Yan smiled and said, "It would be great if the emperor could think so. The emperor will inform the Department of Rites for a lifetime tomorrow and set the etiquette and rules of the royal invitation banquet. Don't think about it so casually. It is best to let the Department of Rites notify them half a month in advance so that they can come again!"

Liu Xie chuckled softly: "The queen is more careful. Now it is popular in Tianjing. I also like simple clothes. Let's do this. In addition to royal invitation banquets, festival celebrations and sacrifices, let the concubines and children wear simple clothes. I feel uncomfortable wearing dragon robe now!"

Cai Yan smiled silently and said softly: "The emperor has been in Babylon for a long time. However, a few days ago, my wife went out to watch the show and found that the people on the street were all wearing simple clothes advocated by the emperor, with pockets and buttons, sleeves, waist and trousers, and pleated skirts (men also have them. Simple clothes are the modernization of the daily clothing of the Han Dynasty, and the original basic characteristics are still very obvious). The edges are also diverse, both convenient and beautiful. So let the palace also use simple clothes. However, the palace is in the palace. Even if the palace uses simple clothes, no matter the materials or styles, it must be carefully considered and separated from the outside. Don't worry, my wife will keep this in mind and make the palm ritual palace of the brocade pavilion in the palace worthwhile, and see how to change it. In short, it is not only comfortable for the emperor, but also the rules in the palace to protect the palace!"

Liu Xie smiled and said, "Okay, then you can do it like this, I'm not in a hurry!"

After using the dinner, Liu Xie kept Guo Jia and Guo Huang Wudie, and carefully discussed the affairs of the General Administration of Competition with the couple. He temporarily wrote the specific rules of football and handball (not basketball, but very close to volleyball) on the spot, asking Guo Huang Wudie to promote this. He has not talked about football for a long time. Liu Xie simply said something, improving the production process of football from the traditional Cuju process, changing it from the sixteen sides to the forty-two sides, and forming a sphere with forty-two sides.

For football ground materials, inner capsule inflatable and outer skin is made of calfskin with the best elasticity. Rules such as sneakers to leggings, offside and penalty cards are completely applied to modern football. It is just a lot of simplification, because once it is too complex and professional, it is not suitable for national promotion at this time.

As for long-distance running, long jump, javelin, discus, wrestling, horse racing, racing and other competition events in the Chinese Athletic Games, Liu Xie appropriately modified most of the events based on Greek standards, and allowed some scholars from Rome to be transferred to the General Administration of Competition at the same time to build the competitive sports of the Han Empire from scratch.

For Liu Xie, the competitive sports of the empire assumed the responsibility of the leader of the fitness sports of the Han Empire, and also assumed the responsibility of the main entertainment activities, freeing the people of the empire from the word game and returning to the pursuit of physical and health. As for the people at the bottom, they can find a football on the streets, alleys, and on the ridges of the fields, and find a football out, and a few families can play a game, and race horses with horses. This is also a good thing.

Liu Xie and Guo Huang Wudie reminded that it may be difficult to hold some professional competitive sports in farmers' homes in various places, so that local competitive branches should also encourage local people to carry out folk competitive activities freely. If you cannot race horses, you can race cattle, don't throw discus, and then lift stones. In short, the people and all the people of the empire should be encouraged to participate in competitive activities and fitness.

During the conversation with Guo Huangwudie, Liu Xie clearly realized that he did not choose the wrong person. Decisive and resolute are the things that Guo Huangwudie is most different from ordinary women. Guo Jia's easy-going and casual personality did not trigger family problems. On the contrary, he is willing to support his wife.

Liu Xie knew very well that this model of new women in the empire should be established. As Guo Huangwudie made his achievements, he was ready to promote the spirit of new women with great fanfare and make up for the lack of human resources and female workers in the empire. No matter what sense of equality between men and women or feminist spirit, he had only one idea in his mind, that is, to make the empire more prosperous. 18 million women are also important imperial resources. If they are given some space to make the empire more prosperous, then he is willing to give it and must give it.

Perhaps more than 90% of the people in the current empire will resist this new female idea, but once the emerging class makes a profit, people will be happy to accept it.
