Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 331 The competition between Theodora and Guo Kang
Guo Kang thought about it carefully, and found that he seemed to overestimate the influence of religion in this matter.After he made his statement, the matter went smoothly.

The gap in this aspect of the Purple Horde Khanate is too great, to the extent that it doesn't care about tradition.Moreover, after playing the banner of promoting education, even if "political correctness" is obtained, the remaining things are not difficult.

As for the Rus, there is indeed a tradition of contempt for women in their villages and "free men".But now these priests of Ross can even accept the teachings of the Roman Church, which shows that traditions can actually be compromised.

The real problem is the organization problem that Lama Wang said.

To put it simply, it is how many idlers the Purple Horde can afford.

Although the people here didn't say it clearly, everyone obviously agreed on one thing: the establishments open to nuns must be newly added, and they cannot be allowed to flood in in large numbers to compete for existing positions.

The foundation of the Purple Horde Khanate was the army, and the most important members of the army were undoubtedly adult male citizens.So no matter what you do, you have to prioritize their feelings.So it is okay to grant more authority to women, but at least it cannot harm male colleagues.

If these people find that their seats and promotion opportunities have been robbed by a woman who suddenly appeared, they are likely to directly express their dissatisfaction with the competitors, and then question whether the Khan Court can provide the promised benefits.This year is not a leisurely and peaceful age, let everyone have the leisure to toss.If this situation continues to accumulate, it is hard to say what will happen.

But on the other hand, because of the shortage of manpower, we can only organize as many people as possible to participate.And to attract participants, the best way is still to give them higher treatment.But everyone came to ask for treatment, and the government couldn't give it... This matter became very tangled.

Therefore, whether to give the staffing, what level to give, whether there are restrictions, and what methods can be used... All these have to be carefully considered.Lama Wang must have seen it a lot, so when Guo Kang talked about it, he felt overwhelmed.

However, Guo Kang really has no way to help him directly, so he can only be the shopkeeper in this matter.

Although he knows modern history, the reference value of modern history in this regard is very limited.Because after entering modern times, the situation of European women may not be as good as in the Middle Ages, even after industrialization, it is not much better.

After the British occupied Egypt, they found that there were actually women serving as grassroots managers and priests.The British despised this tradition and told the Egyptians that it was wrong.

Unlike the backward Egyptian society, the British were one of the most developed nations at the time.They had a set of the most advanced scientific methods for testing the intelligence of different races, races and genders.It turns out that men have higher intelligence and are better suited for managerial roles, while women are not as sharp-minded enough to do so.It can be seen that the Egyptians lack scientific concepts and their customs are very ignorant, which is one of the reasons why they lag behind advanced civilization.

Therefore, after the British conquerors established their political power, they did not completely let go like the previous Mamluks, but conditionally screened and refused to connect with local female grassroots managers.Over time, these people gradually disappeared.

This incident also produced some very dark and humorous follow-ups: later generations of Egyptians believed that it was their own tradition not to allow women to serve as priests, and resolutely defended this "ancient custom" that has not been 200 years old.

The British, on the other hand, made a 180-degree turn in less than a hundred years. On their side, the theory that there is no difference between men and women has become the mainstream again.

So even if you want to refer to it, you will face an embarrassing question: who to refer to, and which time period to refer to?

One way is to think in stages, which is to admit that in different eras, there are different optimal choices.There is no eternal and always correct truth, but only the most suitable route for a certain period.

In this case, as the most successful country with the greatest development progress after the first industrial revolution, the method adopted by the British at that time can be regarded as the "version answer".It's just that this answer will change over time, and I don't know if I can keep up.

Another way is to determine according to the final conclusion.But what Guo Kang knew was only in the early 21st century of the Tianxiong Era.Except for a few fanatics, no one believes that history will end at this time, and there will be no change after that.And since there will be changes, who knows what will happen in the future?
Theoretically, future generations will know more than the predecessors, but the speed of the British reversal is too fast, who knows whether the current conclusion is really correct, whether it will turn back 180 degrees again, or even jump directly to other place.Jumping back and forth like this has no reference value at all.

So in this matter, just ignore the "future experience".

Specific to the present matter, it should also be analyzed in detail on specific issues.

Theodora is currently the biggest supporter. Guo Kang also knows why he supports it. It is to take over more teams and send them into the official establishment, so as to increase his basic base and lay the foundation for future power struggles. prepare for.Theodora has always been a thoughtful person, and must have taken all of these into consideration.

So who is she primarily competing with and how will she do it?
Guo Kang believes that Theodora has great ambitions and has always wanted to enter the 13-member council and even control the country.Her easiest choice, then, was to fight for one of the two Roman emperors.

In the system of the Purple Horde Khanate, although Basai Khan came directly from the name Basilius, it has not been clear whether the Great Khan and the Emperor are strictly speaking the same position.Theoretically, she could take advantage of this loophole and drive Tuo Huan back to the grassland to herd sheep by herself.

But the possibility of this situation is almost non-existent.Even Queen Irina, the "Greek Wu Zetian", was ousted by the army when she first tried to usurp the throne.These Roman guards were much more irritable than their counterparts in the Tang Dynasty. Without their support, no matter how powerful they were, it would be useless.Later, because her son was so capable of killing people, he gave her a chance.

And Huan Huan has always been very popular with the Legion.As he talked with Zhu Wenkui before, the Purple Horde is a country owned by legions.Tuo Huan got along well with various forces in Nan Ya and Bei Ya, and even Turkmen mercenaries had his drinking buddies and "fans".In this case, Theodora could not compete with him.

Those who can compete for the co-governor generally have only a few candidates: Bai Saihan's mother, wife, brother, and legion commander.If Theodora wants to participate in the competition, there is a high probability that she will succeed her mother and obtain the political resources passed down by her, which is more likely to be a succession rather than a competition relationship.And the wife who is out of love... Now there is no shadow.

Tuo Huan has no real brothers now, and in order to ensure a stable inheritance, the other clan branches of the Zizhang are often sealed off to remote places, even on the grasslands, and have little influence in the central government.In this way, only the last one remains.

Guo Kang's adoptive father was indeed a co-governor for a period of time, but later he felt that he was not good enough, so he quit.Among the young princes of this generation, Guo Kang's popularity is not bad.Many people think that he is smart, and if he has military merits in the future, he should succeed his adoptive father as the commander in chief.

With such a calculation, Theodora's biggest potential competitor seems to be himself...

Guo Kang was stunned for a moment.
