Today, the de jure narrative of the Purple Horde is relatively stable. At least on the European side, there is no problem.

To be more careful, they did not have a great deal of direct contact with Rome. But the question is, what is Rome, the definition itself has to be noisy. The rest of Europe can't rob them either, so it doesn't matter.

Judging from the results, the previous wars of the Purple Horde were indeed as Guo Gai and their estimation, and they never worried about the problem of claims.

Guo Kang believes that this is because the claims of the Purple Horde are relatively simple. Other European countries often need some excuse to start a war, at least to persuade their vassals to actively participate in order to obtain a source of troops; and then persuade other countries to at least remain neutral and thus avoid being besieged.

But for the Purple Horde, as long as it could convince the citizens, it would be fine. As for the external claims...... Anyway, the Purple Horde was under siege, so there was no need to consider whether it was recognized by foreign countries.

It's the same this time. With the approval of the priests, Guo Kang's explanation was considered a success.

He asked Father Mikhail to organize everyone and prepare to go, and he went upstairs again to see how Guo Ponu was doing.

In fact, his main purpose was to let Guo Ponu go through the process at the Wang Da Lama's side.

After meeting, when this topic is mentioned, Guo Ponu will definitely talk about today's events and ask Wang Da Lama to let her go with Guo Kang. If the Grand Lama Wang is not happy, he can use his help to dissuade Guo Ponu. He is not a relative of the Guo family, and he can start from the perspective of business, but he is easy to persuade; And if the Great Lama Wang can't persuade him, Guo Ponu insists on going, then take her with him. Anyway, looking back, if the stepmother asked, Guo Kang could also say that he had done his best, but Guo Ponu was too willful to blame him.

However, as he went upstairs, an old man with a long white beard rushed up and greeted him.

"Brother Patrick?" Guo Kang turned around and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I heard Brother Leo say that the church is going to organize the nuns to work in textiles?" Brother Patrick asked, "He brought some papers, and said let's look at them first, and then we will have a meeting in a few days to discuss how to do it." I saw that you were the one who proposed the plan, so I hurried to ask. ”

"It's me." Guo Kang nodded, not knowing what was the matter with him being in such a hurry to find it privately, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with the plan?" ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the plan itself, and the weaving is really suitable for women." Brother Patrick said: "But this way of organizing, the hidden dangers will be great. ”

"Oh?" Guo Kang was a little curious.

"If it is just to organize the nuns to pray and study, it is still acceptable. Teaching everyone to weave, there is nothing to blame. But the planned organization gives too much power to the woman. In my opinion, this is something that must be guarded against. Brother Patrick said solemnly.

"How is that?" Guo Kang said unexpectedly.

"Look." Brother Patrick took out the document sent to him and pointed to the statement: "Here, the women are allowed to organize themselves, and they are allowed to expand the weaving society and draw more people to join. Then here, let the woman preside over the business negotiations...... These are all very problematic. ”

"This is not a self-made, private sale, but a formal organization established by the Roman government and the Church. As you know, this kind of association will definitely be linked to various management, and it will probably continue to grow in the future. So, to put them in these jobs is to put public power in their hands. ”

"It's very dangerous." Brother Patrick admonished: "Women who have wielded power, even if it is small, will arouse their desires." Others are jealous of them, which leads to greed and hatred. These people will not be satisfied with this, but will expand their power in other directions. ”

Plato analyzed this problem, and he believed that women could be seen as the result of further degradation of a man who was wicked or timid. This is their nature, so they will seize the opportunity to satisfy their evil desires. These people do not dare to openly oppose you, but these covert erosions are fatal to the church. ”

"And look." He pointed to another page: "It also says that in order for women to work more efficiently, they need to be taught to read and learn some skills. This is also a very dangerous move. ”

"Our philosophers, out of respect for wisdom, generally speak very tactfully. But the poets have made it clear. He was quoted as:

Menander parablely said that teaching women to read was a grave mistake. Because women are as deadly as poisonous snakes, and making women literate is tantamount to adding extra venom to poisonous snakes. I've heard that the Seris also have this analogy. Isn't this the common understanding of all civilizations? ”

"Euripides spoke about this as early as classical times. He said that in a happy family, a woman should be stupid and unsuccessful; The wise man would have hated a wise woman and would not allow such a figure to appear in his home, as was already evident in those days. We have passed down the philosophy from generation to generation, and we have studied it for so long, we can't be more confused than them. ”

"This ......" Guo Kang didn't know how to answer for a while.

As a son of a prince, he also officially attended the school here, so it is clear that this kind of argument is in Greek philosophy. This question is philosophically unsolvable.

He thought about it for a while, so he had to start from the direction of practical results, and said: "Our goal is mainly to organize more people to participate in labor in a more efficient way. In this way, everyone can live a better life, and they can also free up their hands to work on more important tasks such as war. So, how to organize women is just a formality, and the overall goal is for Rome. And compared to the interests of Rome, I think that even if there are some problems, it is acceptable. In the future, we will gradually improve the system and make improvements. ”

"Judging from this incident alone, the efficiency of this will indeed be higher." Brother Patrick did not object: "But when we make policy, we should also consider the wider impact and the subsequent effects, not just the matter itself." ”

"Rome can definitely get additional benefits in this matter. But will the hidden dangers caused by this cause greater losses? He said with some apprehension: "I fear that the labor of a thousand weavers is not worth the destruction caused by a woman who takes advantage of the opportunity to take power." ”

"I'm not trying to oppose your plan. Actually, I think it's a very valid idea. It's just that there are some details that need more attention. "And, as you all know, you're still heavily influenced by the culture of Seris," he suggested. ”

"I think the Seris still despise the destructiveness of women too much." He shook his head and judged.
