Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 342 Weaving Battle Mode
"Then there is no other way." Guo Kang thought for a while, but couldn't find a better idea.

"There are some things that can be said differently, but there are two results." Tuo Huan felt indifferent: "We must value all citizens, not women; we must make everyone's lives better, not women's lives. Good. As long as you stick to the country as a whole, you'll be fine."

"Look, if you say that it's all for Rome, this matter won't be a problem. In the end, paying attention to women and improving their status is just a means. We can't regard the means as the end."

"This is not all means." Guo Kang said.

"I think it can only be used as a means, maybe not even a good means." Tuo Huan scratched his head: "Didn't you notice? Women as a group cover too much."

"The difference between two women may be greater than one of them and the other man." He said, pointing to Theodora: "There are people like my sister, and there are women in the slums outside. It is said to take care of women's rights, but the question is, who is really taking care of?"

"If everyone takes care of her, I don't think it's necessary. We have a few men here who can compare to her advantages." Tuo Huan shook his head and said, "But if you insist on saying 'take care of women', then It's like including her and those noble ladies. I think this range is wrong."

"That said, there is indeed a problem." Guo Kang thought for a while and nodded: "Our goal is to allow more people to participate in social production, so that those who are originally disadvantaged can get more opportunities. If this is the case, then There is no need to deliberately emphasize the woman as a whole."

"Yes, this positioning method is not only inefficient, but also may cause bigger problems." Tuo Huan thought for a while, and gave an example: "For example, now, we have a batch of funds, let's say 1 gold coins—we I want to help the weavers in the slums, so that they can learn more professional skills and improve their living standards. This is actually a kind of charity activity, and the church should be responsible for it, right?"

Guo Kang thought about it and nodded.

"But now if we say that we want to 'help women' and improve their treatment and status, then the question arises: who should be helped first?" Tuo Huan analyzed.

"Improving the treatment and status of women must be relative to men. Therefore, we can help weavers in slums so that they are close to the status of men in slums. This amount of money is enough to help thousands of women."

"But in the same way, those Greek ladies in the city are also women. According to this slogan, it means that they also need help. So they will also hope to obtain this fund, increase their property, and bring their wealth and status closer to Noble male. In this case, 1 Nomisma are probably only enough for one person to squander a few times."

"Then who do you think we should help?"

"So the loophole is here..." Guo Kang mused.

"It's more than that." Tuo Huan said: "In this example, we are very aware of the situation and are making judgments based on specific examples. But if this policy is implemented, it will be impossible to do everything by ourselves."

"A lot of times, after a policy is launched, instead of us distributing resources, it's all parties competing for these limited resources. For example, the fund is only [-] gold coins, but the Greek noblewoman and the poor weaver want it, and There are reasons and motivations to intervene, so who do you think will win in the end?"

"An ordinary woman must not be able to compete with a Greek lady." Guo Kang understood what he meant.

"Yeah, these resources squeezed out from other sources, even at the expense of male civil rights, are nothing more than filling the pockets of the upper-class ladies. Ordinary people, regardless of gender, get nothing." Tuo Huan reminded : "This is not a good thing."

"What's more, if these ladies find a reason to monopolize these resources?" He continued to ask: "The concept of women is too big, including too many people, and it is impossible for us to manage it directly. Then, ladies will Won't you take advantage of this?"

"This is the same as the tyrants in the countryside. They will say that they are the protectors of other women and the intermediary between our government and ordinary women." Tuo Huan is very sure: "What they will do can also be directly referred to A powerful bully."

Guo Kang looked at Theodora, and she nodded.It seemed that she knew exactly what these people would do.

"So how do we deal with it?" he asked.

"If you want me to say, continue to implement your strategy, but don't say it is for men and women, just say it is for Rome." Tuo Huan suggested: "I think this is the safest."

"In addition, we can learn from grandma." He said, "Didn't she teach those little girls to fight every day? I think we have to learn these too."

"Learn this in addition to textile?" Guo Kang thought about it again: "I don't know if I can take care of it."

"I think it's okay." Tuo Huan said: "Didn't you say that looms are also machines, and they also need daily maintenance and maintenance. If you want to use it well, at least a few of the weavers in the group must understand this kind of loom." Guy's."

"It's like our soldiers, not to mention that everyone understands it. At least one Shili must have one or two people who understand the principles of ordnance and maintenance techniques. Because these things are used in normal times, it doesn't matter if you are not familiar with them."

"Even with the knowledge I know, the loom is not a simple tool." He pointed out: "If you can play with this kind of machine, of course other equipment can also be mastered. At least, use defensive equipment, operate crossbow firearms , can be practiced along the way.”

"We are not asking these people to be pioneers. As long as they can help undertake the daily defense tasks and be responsible for the patrols and guards in their hometowns, a large number of people will be free at once. This is the best way to convince everyone."

"Then we still have to evaluate how far ordinary people can train." Guo Kang said: "It's best to do a detailed investigation to make the results convincing."

"Yes." Tuo Huan nodded, glad that he could learn so quickly: "Also, I think the upper limit of this kind of woman is rather high."

"I heard that in our side, before the establishment of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu was once surrounded by the overlord of Western Chu in Xingyang." He explained: "In order to cover him from leaving, the generals organized thousands of women in the city, They put on armor and went out of the city to form an array overnight. The Chu army came to surround them, so that Gaozu had a chance to escape."

"Look, 'Night', 'Armored', 'Thousands of people line up'. Think about what this concept is, even if an army of men is formed, how many can do it." Tuo Huan beat his hands, Emphasize the important point: "So, we don't have to worry about them not training well."
