Some of Cao Shuo's measures, although they did not raise the social status of women, have imperceptibly made a lot of changes.

Women who were once dependent on men now have the option of working outside the home.

As long as they entered these jobs, Yuan Fang's women's government would protect them.

Every day, Yuan Fang would send female soldiers to patrol everywhere, and she even placed some people into hospitals and factories to specialize in protecting women.

Cao Shuo's status in the hearts of women is unprecedentedly high.

Although Shouchun's restructuring was not long, it was obviously relatively successful, and Cao Shuo ordered it to be promoted in various places.

At the same time of restructuring, he did not forget to maintain the interests of the original nobles.

The maids and servants of the families have lost their personal freedom and are not allowed to participate in social work.

As a result, although the New Deal has elevated the status of some women, it has not touched many key interests, and it has been steadily promoted in various places.

Sitting in the study, Cao Shuo piled up a lot of reports from all over the world in front of him.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was already papermaking, but the materials used in papermaking were very expensive, and the paper was yellowing and brittle, so it was not often used.

After Cao Shuo occupied Shouchun, he ordered craftsmen to improve their papermaking skills.

After improvement, craftsmen can now make flat white paper, although it is not as good as the paper of later generations, but it is not comparable to the Caihou paper of the past.

What's more, today's paper uses bark and discarded tree trunks as materials, which makes paper more delicate and promotes lower prices, and the use of paper has been promoted in many places.

However, Cao Shuo kept a hand, he held the paper-making technology in his hand and did not spread it to the outside world at all.

The use of paper will make it easier to record and circulate information, and this technology can be kept in the hand for as long as possible.

At least until he takes control of the whole world, he can't let this technology spread anywhere else.

In front of him lay a thick stack of letters full of letters.

Cao Shuo opened a letter of information about the construction of hospitals, factories and the progress of women's protection.

"It seems that the new economy I am promoting is being done in various places." After reading some letters, Cao Shuo said: "In fact, when the implementation first started, I was still worried that there would be resistance in various places. ”

"Childe's worries are not unreasonable." Chen Gong, who was standing on the side, said: "I did hear that there is resistance in some places. ”

"Serious or not?" Cao Shuo asked, "How do you resist?" ”

"It's not very serious." Chen Gong said: "It's just that someone said that what Gongzi is doing now is to let Ji Si Chen, women participate in many important things, and I am afraid that the world will be in chaos in the future." ”

"In fact, men are the same as women, there are virtuous and stupid." Cao Shuo said: "There are so many people in the world, some are smart and some are stupid, and they are not divided into men and women. The so-called difference is that men's horizons will be more open, while women's way of thinking is somewhat limited after all. There are limitations, but they do not deprive them of their rights as human beings. Let them also display their wisdom and talents, which is only good for the world, and there is no harm in it. ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen Gong said: "The other measures are fine, but this one is ......"

"Do you think it's a bit inappropriate for me to do this?" Cao Shuo asked with a slight smile.

"Something is wrong." Chen Gong replied: "But now it seems that women have saved a lot of strong labor when they go to various places to do things. ”

"The world is moving forward." Cao Shuo said: "In ancient times, people respected women, and everyone only knew their mother, but not their father. ”

Cao Shuo was talking about the matriarchal clan of the primitive society, and Chen Gong had not heard of it.

Looking at Cao Shuo in surprise, Chen Gong asked, "Is there such a thing?" I only know that in ancient times, Xuanyuan, Fuxi and Chiyou competed for the world......"

"And before that? Nuwa mends the sky. Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Why is there Nuwa, and Nuwa is the mother of each of us?" That's because in the earliest days, it was women who sat in the world and ruled the world. At that time, there was no marriage, and each woman would have the most intimate relationship with many men, and strong men would also have courtesy with many women. Because of this, the child born does not know who the father is, and cannot be passed on by blood, and the person who talks about it is of course a respected woman. ”

"There seems to be some truth to what Childe said." Chen Gong asked blankly: "But why did you ...... later?"

"That's what I mean by a woman's vision is not as long-term as a man." Cao Shuo said: "Women tend to pay more attention to immediate interests, they don't take into account more long-term things, a year has passed, ten years have passed, and even a hundred years and thousands of years have not changed at all." In addition, later marriage constrained the behavior of men and women, and the born child knew who the father was, and the bloodline inheritance appeared, so the man won the world. ”

"Where did Childe learn about this?" Chen Gong swallowed his saliva and asked Cao Shuo in surprise.

Grinning, Cao Shuo said: "I said a long time ago, I am well-read, and I have come to ancient times and then to the next life, is there anything in this world that I don't know?" ”

Chen Gong was stunned, not knowing what to say.

Cao Shuo continued: "Although women's vision is not as long-term as men's, they can also distinguish immediate interests. Different ways of thinking determine the different angles of people's standing. Both men and women can see very limited things, and only by complementing each other can we make our world stronger and stronger. ”

"I see." Chen Gong said: "It's just that there are some things that Gongzi still has to be cautious when doing them, after all, these things touch the interests of many people......

"Of course it will be cautious." Cao Shuo said: "Only by boiling frogs in warm water can they really be boiled thoroughly." ”

Chen Gong didn't say anything more.

"That's right." Cao Shuo asked him, "Has Fu Zhu come back?" ”

"Childe ordered Fu Zhu to come back?" Chen Gong asked in surprise.

"I'm sending someone to give him an order to come back first." Cao Shuo said, "Izumo has been captured by us, and now what I want to do is to strengthen the navy. The islands of Yizhou and other islands in the south have not yet been occupied by a navy, we already have two fleets in the east, and now there are no navies in the south, north and west, and these things will have to be done sooner or later, after all, we want more than just the Central Plains. ”

"I'll let someone check it out to see if Fu Gong has come back, and if so, where he has gone." Chen Gong clenched his fists and bowed down and said to Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo nodded: "You go first, I have to finish reading these as soon as possible." ”
