Chapter 1031 Talking about state affairs with my father-in-law
"Because Your Highness has destroyed their basic plate, if they continue to maintain this, they will decline rapidly, and some powerful families have been able to last for a long time in history, and they have always attracted excellent talents from the outside world."
"In the past, there was no talent out there that they wanted, and they maintained their status, intermarrying each other in the past, and now, maintaining the current means, that is, behind closed doors." Li Daozong said with a smile.
He knew that Li Shimin had long wanted to solve these problems, although Li Shimin was already a member of the Li family in Longxi, but the royal family was no longer the same.
But now this problem has been directly solved by Li Ke.
Again, when the base of the educated population is enlarged, there will naturally be more talents.
And if you want to maintain your advantage, it is time to attract foreign talent, and each family thinks very clearly in this regard.
"Hmph, that's true, but when the women of Datang begin to be able to make their voices heard, it will be difficult for these gate valve families to take this step." Li Ke sneered and said lightly.
Although now is not the time to introduce women's rights, there is nothing wrong with fighting for women's status.
The feminism that Li Ke said is women's rights in the true sense, not boxing for some special purposes, which are two different things.
Any affirmative action in the true sense of the word is okay, and if it can fundamentally improve the status of women in terms of social system and welfare benefits, this is the right way to solve the problem.
In fact, Li Ke doesn't even need to make too many changes in this regard, just leave it to time.
As long as with the development of Datang's industrialization, there are more and more positions in society that can be suitable for women to work, and the status of women will naturally improve.
It's not like now, even if they are the daughters of the gate valve family, the second daughters are only used as bargaining chips and objects for trading.
Of course, this kind of thing has to be looked at in two parts.
The bargaining chips and objects of this kind of transaction, if you put it on an ordinary person, maybe the other party can't ask for it, because these concubines, second daughters, and all those used for marriage, these families will not be stingy.
In other words, the family that married a girl in ancient times was never stingy, whether it was her mother's family or her mother-in-law's family. They also get a lot of things and resources, compared to ordinary people.
But they can't choose what kind of person they want to marry, they may not even meet each other, and their future marriage partner has already been decided before they are born.
Just like the question of love or bread in the future, such choices have existed throughout the ages, but in the future you have the opportunity to choose love, and now, you don't have a choice.
Li Ke can't solve this kind of philosophical problem that human beings have emotions, what he can solve is to give those women who have the ability to be self-reliant and the perseverance of self-improvement a way, a hope, and a way out.
That's all.
The equality and equality that all people hope for is based on the true equality of a human being, putting aside all factors. But it is almost impossible, because the physiological characteristics of people determine that there are differences in this aspect, and some objective problems can never be avoided.
What Li Ke can do is to try to change this status quo step by step.
Li Daozong did not answer this question, because this is not something that can be reformed overnight, and this point is more difficult to reform than the government in some respects.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, I said that you have to change this habit, why am I married, you all want to educate me." Li Ke said a little depressed.
"Hahaha, that's not it, education is over, at most it's a communication with His Highness, it's over when it comes to education in this regard, some things are honest, I'm not as good as Your Highness." Li Daozong laughed a few times.
Although he is now Li Ke's father-in-law, Li Daozong can still grasp his identity.
"Forget it, let's talk about something else, what do you think about going to Silla and Baekje?" Li Ke looked at Li Daozong and asked.
"There is no problem with this, the troops who are ready to be mobilized in the past have also begun to travel long distances in the direction of Hudu, and I personally have no problem, but I don't know when Goguryeo will start." Li Daozong said.
"I guess it's next year at most." Li Ke probably guessed that there is no way to refer to the current history of Datang, because the changes in the entire environment of Datang have brought too many chain effects.
For example, Goguryeo is very arrogant in history, but the current attitude of Goguryeo towards the Tang Dynasty is much more low-key, of course, Goguryeo must be guarding against the Tang Dynasty, which is right.
Therefore, the situation between the two countries will not change much, and Goguryeo's population and system are different from those of the Turkic countries, and it is impossible to deal with Goguryeo in the same way as Xue Yantuo.
Regardless of whether the king of Goguryeo agreed or not, many ministers of Goguryeo disagreed, because they all knew that if they went to the Tang Dynasty, there would be nothing.
Even if Datang gave them money, the money and status they got didn't match them at all.
And the current situation in Goguryeo can't be stopped, and they can't wait for death here.
The Tang Dynasty is getting stronger day by day, and if they don't progress, they can only wait for death, and the only possibility for them to do it is Silla and Baekje.
Because of Silla and Baekje, these two countries have always been die-hard supporters of the Tang Dynasty, and although their military strength is average, if they launch an attack on Goguryeo together with the Tang Dynasty, the impact will still be great.
Therefore, no matter what you consider in all aspects, Goguryeo will make the first move against Silla and Baekje.
They also thought very simply, completely eliminating Silla and Baekje would also relieve Goguryeo of worries, and in their opinion, the sea was a natural barrier, even if the Tang Dynasty was able to transport some soldiers by ship.
But without the support of the locals, their logistics are not enough for them to fight on this land, so the possibility of Datang starting to fight from this side is not high.
This is a judgment based on their understanding of Datang, so they will inevitably do it.
Or to be precise, Yuangae Suwen will inevitably make a move, although there are various controversies in the history of Yuangai Suwen, but this person can have such a high status in Goguryeo, his military talent is beyond doubt.
Therefore, he can see where Goguryeo's fatal flaw is, eliminating Silla Baekje and then building a strong city in the area bordering the Tang Dynasty, relying on the strong city and the surrounding terrain to gradually encroach on the Tang Dynasty's army, which is the key to Goguryeo's defeat of the Tang Dynasty.
