Chapter 104: Ordinary

Leaving a man idle is not something a woman would do.

If you have several wives, then this kind of man will only have to do more work, and he will not be able to lie at home for a winter like a single person.

Lawrence would also make small talk about things when he was working with the workers.

There are a lot of things that involve loyalty and doctrine, and these people don't talk nonsense, and most of the time they lie subconsciously.

Fortunately, Lawrence has always had the logical ability to find useful information from all kinds of fragmented information.

"It's a bit of a bad situation."

Lawrence had a meeting with several saints, Kassandra and Catherine in addition to Heidi.

"What's wrong?" Catherine thought it was a war with the elves.

Lawrence held one hand in front of him, and the other touched his chin, which had a slightly bearded touch, with a serious and solemn expression.

He looked up and told the reason with some annoyance.

"I learned from conversations with the builders and coolies that they had to work eight hours a day to support their three wives, and the point was that these people worked with me and were paid a higher salary than anywhere else."

"We've always had a hierarchy here, with Oak City having the highest pay, followed by Ironforge, Phumesius Town, and Flying Fish Harbor, and the treatment here is about the same as Oak City because of my extra rewards this year, and even then, most men have to work from day to night."

"The worst thing is that they have to work on women when they go back at night, and I think this kind of life may end a long time ago."

Lawrence didn't hide anything about his own woman, and directly said his true opinion.

Kassandra has always struggled to understand Lawrence, and there are still many places where the perspective is different.

"What's wrong with that?" Kassandra really didn't understand.

Lawrence slowly explained: "When I first investigated this, I felt that our surroundings are almost stable now, and the battle with the elves has always been an external battle, and the internal has basically stabilized for a generation in the past ten years. ”

"Medical care, food, clothing, and heating have gradually stabilized, and most of the barbarians, who are similar to wild beasts, have gradually learned how to take care of children, so it makes sense to investigate the age of death and the average life expectancy at this time."

"When I investigated, I found that most men may live for a short time, especially ordinary men who have raised multiple women, and the pressure and expenses they have to endure are much greater than the wages I give them."

Heidi also didn't quite understand Lawrence's thoughts.

"Master, what's wrong with this? I think this kind of death is more merciful than Andrew's approach to seeking death, although I am not a man, but I also think that those male slaves have this kind of thing in their heads, they will only appreciate your kindness, will they still blame you for letting them marry a few more women? ”

Lawrence agrees with this rebuttal, "That's right, I just feel a little that my kindness violates the objective law of development, and allows a group of people who can only obey others and work hard to marry multiple women." ”

"These people are different from those people in Fleis, those people in Frys dare to fight and kill, have their own ideas and desires, are bold and careful, and these people can only work, they marry multiple beautiful women because of their own desires, they will be eaten by desire and bear the pressure of the family."

"If I can't bear it, I won't be able to control those young women, and gradually all the rules and morals I have made will collapse."

"I am here to maintain stability for the benefit of craftsmen and soldiers, but in the end, I need to abide by objective laws."

Lawrence realizes that his benevolence cannot change the law, and even if the low-level men receive rewards and treatment from him, all kinds of income will steadily decline because of the relationship between the woman and the children.

They have to work longer hours to make a good living for their families, and the women who come because of their treatment and food are constantly urging them to go out to work, opening their mouths and shouting at their parents like young birds.

If it's the older kind, dying on the battlefield might be the best outcome.

"For most people, monogamy is probably the best option." Lawrence changed the monogamy that had been established by the church and now acknowledges the goodness of the system.

Kassandra nodded, "I probably get it, so does this need to change?" How do you get it back on track? ”

Lawrence smiled: "There is no need to change, everything will slowly return to the right track, history will develop, and it will slowly return, I just felt it and decided to cancel some harmful benevolence in time." ”

Catherine on the side asked directly: "What about the conclusion?" ”

Catherine also has the wisdom of a female transcendent, who can quickly learn the mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc., that Lawrence imparted, but she is reluctant to think about philosophy and the political issues raised by Lawrence.

Many of the questions raised by Lawrence are contradictory and do not conform to the logic of witches.

As can be seen from the fact that Lawrence's conclusions are often repeatedly slapped in the face by himself, it is normal for witches not to want to discuss the issue with Lawrence.

"The conclusion is to maintain the status quo, and history has shown that only people with privileges and easy and well-paid jobs can afford to have multiple family members."

"Even if the current polygamous marital status would cause the young and middle-aged workforce to age and die prematurely, that would be a benevolent move, and I don't think most people would object to it."

"But this system must be curbed, and in the future, churches everywhere will have to persuade some people, explain the consequences to them, and we must recommend and guide everyone to observe monogamy."

Heidi didn't like the system, "Is there anything good about this system?" I remember that the kings and nobles outside were against this, and they joined us because they were against this. ”

The country of stars is not monogamous, it used to rely on this to quickly win over the nobles of various countries, but now that the Dawn Church is gone, he has read other people's scriptures.

Lawrence: "I know you don't understand, and I know that by doing so, we're accepting the rules of the Church of Dawn. ”

"I now think the Dawn Church guys are running wisely, they're very confident."

"But we're going to do better than them, that's our confidence."

"Polygamy creates a problem of competition between children and wives, which is not conducive to the cultivation of the next generation, and a family has only one male head and female hostess, which is more conducive to the stability of the family."

"What we need in the future are useful human resources such as warriors, scholars, craftsmen, etc., and I believe that a stable family should be a collective, not a scattered group with different thoughts."

"The aristocracy had time to compete for wealthy resources, and the lower class of families prioritized stability."

Catherine said directly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect us." ”

Lawrence pondered how to do this, and looked up at the women.

"You say how this kind of thing should be arranged, if you arrange it directly, it will definitely not work, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

After a moment's thought, Kassandra said: "Then we can only start with the church and the monastery, which have a notarial function, and any marriage that is not witnessed by the priest and nun has no legal binding effect, will not be blessed, and must be punished." ”

Lawrence felt that this was very suitable for the current situation, "Then for this matter, more pastors need to be arranged, and more funds will be provided." ”

When Heidi heard this, she directly retorted: "It's better to add than subtract...... Since the problem is that those people can marry more than one woman, as long as it will be difficult to support two women with their wages, then isn't it okay? ”

"It just so happens that our factories are short of people, so that men have to work to earn money to support women and children, and only let them go back to sleep and eat at night, so that the population can be maintained, and the factories have people to work, and women have more time at home to take care of their children."

Lawrence has long been accustomed to the intelligence of witches, especially young witches, who are often able to offer a lot of proposals that only talk about logic, not morality and rules.

Catherine, who often ran in the monastery, asked, "What about marriage?" There are many women in the land of ice who can't find a marriage partner, and many young women come to the outside world every year. ”

"It's okay." Lawrence felt that this was not a problem, and that history proved that such problems would soon pass without causing any trouble worth documenting.

Heidi smiled and said, "Choose the best of these women to serve our great master, and what do you care about those who are not good enough?" If you don't drive them out, it's already the mercy of the master! ”

Several witches nodded in agreement.

What qualifications does an ordinary woman with no strength have to negotiate with a great prophet?

Lawrence suddenly felt that he also needed some ordinary women around him, ordinary refers to blood, not appearance and ability.

At least when discussing issues, there can be a few women in their right minds to give advice, not all of them.
