After discussing with Dehuan, this matter was basically settled.

To be honest, Guo Kang himself is not so firm about "elevating the status of women". The reason why he repeatedly confirmed was not so much to persuade Tuhuan and others, but to wait for Dehuan to convince himself.

After living in this world for so many years, Guo Kang has basically adapted to it. But a lot of the time, his mentality is still a little weird. Because on the one hand, he needs to adapt to the world as much as possible, otherwise he will not be able to do things better; But on the other hand, he needs to maintain his awareness and convince himself that "I am different".

It's not to appear superior. If it was really this mentality, Guo Kang would have played the role of Brother Tian by himself a long time ago. The reason for this is actually very simple - in this era, many of the ideas he put forward to improve technology and even society belong to the category of more than everyone imagined. Not to mention that other people may find it incredible, he himself will have doubts, not knowing whether these ideas are reliable.

Guo Kang thinks that this may be why a good leader often behaves strongly and firmly, even to the point of stubbornness. After experiencing it firsthand, he can be regarded as understanding the difficulty: in this environment, people who are not strong enough are indeed difficult to withstand great resistance and psychological pressure. If you don't do it, you will choose to lie flat.

Guo Kang's own psychological quality is actually like that. Therefore, in order to strengthen his determination, he has to emphasize to himself from time to time, "I am special, and my method is effective". It's actually a way to encourage yourself.

However, in this case, Guo Kang is indeed often easy to get entangled. Adapting to this society and maintaining an outsider mentality are, after all, contradictory.

Moreover, he himself often fails to tell whether a "future" theory is right or not, or whether it is suitable for the present situation. Practical operation is much more complicated than theory, and some widely accepted theories, if you use them carefully, you will find that they are some violent theories; And there are some less conspicuous places, but the key is the point. In this way, it will also affect Guo Kang's judgment.

So many times, he can only do this......

With the help of Dehuan intentionally or unintentionally, Guo Kang's mentality has also improved a lot.

The idea that Guo Kang used to convince himself was that he wanted to promote the development of society in a more developed and progressive direction. But many times, he doesn't understand what progress is.

It's okay to be prosperous and developed, but the concept of progress is a bit too subjective, and Guo Kang himself can't figure out how this is calculated. For example, in theory, the elevation of women's status represents progress, but in practice this is not necessarily the case, and it is difficult to explain.

So now, he is also much more relaxed. Anyway, it has been made very clear that in this case, appropriate adjustments need to be made according to the specific situation. In other words, even if there is no longer support for women's advancement, it does not prevent the strategy itself from being progressive.

In this way, Guo Kang can also convince himself to let go of this kind of bondage.

He and Tuhuan discussed a few more words, and said that he would go back and sort out the information for the Great Lama Wang and distribute a copy to everyone. After that, Dehuan urged Theodora to leave together.

Guo Kang made an appointment with them to go to the church first to investigate these gangsters and the ins and outs of this incident.

Because, in addition to the people who specialize in the investigation, the church itself also has an influence on the ghetto. In places where municipalities are incapable of managing it, or where it is simply deliberately ignored, grassroots churches are the only formal organizations that exist.

It just so happened that a group of Father Ross came here this time, and Guo Kang planned to take this opportunity to use them to understand the situation. Fathers like Mikhail and Andrei, like Father Mikhail and Andrei, are the kind of people who can't sit still, and even during this time, they go out every day to communicate with those fellow villagers. Asking them for help can reduce the friction you face during the investigation and get a more realistic picture of the situation.

Therefore, he made an appointment with Dehuan and Theodora, and he would first do the investigation and search. If the situation is really discovered, he will control it as soon as possible - because these criminals are likely to be a breakthrough in the follow-up investigation. As long as you make good use of this opportunity, you can even wipe out the criminal organizations in the city and their shelterers, and complete the plan that Guo Kang's uncle did not realize in the end.

When the two of them left, he went to the priests.

Guo Kang's thinking is clear: there are a large number of Rus' people in the slums. Moreover, because it is mixed and not accepted by the normal order, it has formed its own set of order. As a result, they also have their own groups, and they often wander away from the general public.

He believes that the biggest problem is not the gangster order itself, but the fact that the normal order is not managed here.

People's lives must rely on the group, and if there is no normal order, then of course there will be abnormal order.

And the solution is through the Church and the Legion.

In the previous decades, as the Purple Horde grew stronger, most of the capital became richer. Especially after the Black Sea coast has settled down, its location as a shipping center has become increasingly important.

More than twenty years ago, after Tokhtamysh was pacified, the Rus region was completely involved in the system of the Purple Horde. Order was re-established there, and commerce and handicrafts were restored. The ancient trade routes also returned to normal, and many caravans followed the waterways all the way south to the Black Sea, and then to Dadu for trade.

In the process, large numbers of Rus' entered the city and nearby market towns and settled down. In particular, the workshops and docks in the city attract many outsiders to work. The rapid expansion of these numbers and the lack of management quickly caused chaos.

After Guo Di, the Purple Horde did not pay attention to the problem of urban management for many years. In the end, this is where it is.

Therefore, what is needed now is to provide them with basic education and management. The most effective way is to carry out basic training through the church, and then select qualified people to train in the way of legions. Bring them into order, and these problems will be solved.

You can't rely on the Greeks in the city for this. Guo Kang has always suspected that the Greek officials and priests in the city have played a lot of role in this situation, intentionally or unintentionally. At the very least, there is also a sin of dereliction of duty.

In fact, at the end of the Palaiologos dynasty, when the Purple Horde took over, there were not many people in the city. Most of the Greeks who live here today have also migrated from before. However, after they settled, they began to look down on the later Rus'.

Of course, this is actually easy to solve. The Greeks never discriminated against legionnaires, so as long as the plan was carried out normally.
