Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 392 Zhu Neo-Confucianism is too accommodating to women and will inevitably be eliminated by Greek philosophy
Today, the jurisprudence of the Purple Horde Khanate is relatively stable.At least in Europe, there is no problem.

Strictly speaking, their direct relationship with Rome is not very great.But the problem is, what is Rome, this definition itself is noisy.Other countries in Europe can't compete with them, so it doesn't matter.

Judging from the results, the previous wars of the Purple Horde Khanate have indeed been as estimated by Guo Gai and the others, and they have never worried about the issue of claims.

Guo Kang believes that this is because the claim of the Purple Horde is relatively simple.When other European countries launch wars, they often need some excuses. At least they must persuade their vassals to actively participate in order to obtain a source of troops; and then persuade other countries to at least remain neutral, so as to avoid being besieged.

But for the Purple Horde, as long as the citizens can be persuaded.As for the external declaration... anyway, the Purple Horde is under siege, so there is no need to consider whether foreign countries recognize it.

It's the same this time.With the approval of the priests, Guo Kang's explanation was successfully completed.

He asked Father Mikhail to organize everyone to prepare for departure, and went upstairs to see what was going on with Guo Ponu.

In fact, his main purpose was to let Guo Ponu go through the process with Lama Wang.

After the meeting, when this topic was brought up, Guo Ponu would definitely talk about today's events and ask Da Lama Wang to let her go with Guo Kang.If Lama Wang is not willing, he can use his help to dissuade Guo Ponu.He is not a relative of the Guo family, so he can be persuaded from the perspective of business affairs; and if Da Lama Wang can't persuade him, and Guo Ponu insists on going, then take her with him.Anyway, looking back, if his mother-in-law asked, Guo Kang would be able to say that he had tried his best. It was because Guo Ponu was too capricious and he could not be blamed.

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

"Brother Patrick?" Guo Kang turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard from Brother Leo that the church is going to organize nuns to engage in weaving?" Brother Patrick asked, "He brought some documents and said that we will have a look at them first, and we will have a meeting in the next few days to discuss how to implement them. I saw the plan The person who proposed it is you, so hurry up and ask."

"It's me." Guo Kang nodded, not knowing why he was in such a hurry to look for it privately, so he asked, "Is there any problem with the plan?"

"I don't think there is any problem with the plan itself. Weaving is indeed suitable for women." Brother Patrick said: "But this kind of organization will have great hidden dangers."

"Oh?" Guo Kang was curious.

"If you just organize the nuns to pray and study, it is still acceptable. There is nothing to blame for teaching everyone to weave. But this kind of organization in the plan gives women too much power. I think it is necessary to be vigilant Yes," said Brother Patrick gravely.

"How much is that?" Guo Kang said unexpectedly.

"Look." Brother Patrick took out the document issued to him, and pointed to the statement on it: "Here, women are allowed to organize themselves, and they are allowed to expand the textile association to attract more people to join. Then here, let women Human-hosted business negotiations ... these are very problematic."

"This is not a private business done by myself, but a formal organization established by the Roman government and the church. You also know that this kind of association will definitely be related to various managements, and may continue to develop in the future. Therefore, Putting them in these jobs puts public power in their hands."

"This is very dangerous." Brother Patrick warned: "Women who have held power, even if the power is small, will arouse their desires. Others will be jealous of them, which will lead to greed and hatred. These people It will not be satisfied with this, but will expand its power in other directions."

"Plato analyzed this issue. He believed that women can be regarded as men who do evil or are timid and fearful, and are further degenerated. Their nature is like this, so they will definitely seize the opportunity to satisfy their evil desires. These People don't dare to oppose you openly, but these secret erosions are fatal to the church."

"And you see." He pointed to another page: "It is also said here that in order for women to work more efficiently, they need to be educated to read and learn some skills. This is also a very dangerous move."

"Our philosophers, out of respect for wisdom, generally put it mildly. But the poets have expressed it clearly." He quotes:
"Menander similes that teaching a woman to read is a serious mistake. Because a woman is as deadly as a poisonous snake, and to teach a woman to read is to add venom to a poisonous snake. I heard that the people of Seris also have this kind of venom. Metaphor. Isn’t this the common understanding of all civilizations?”

"As early as the classical age, Euripides talked about this issue. He said that in a happy family, women should be stupid and unworthy; wise men will hate intelligent women and forbid such characters in the family— —In that era, people have seen it very clearly. We have passed down the philosophy from generation to generation and have studied it for so long, so 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 nobleman, he has also formally attended the school here, so it is clear that this kind of argument is common in Greek philosophy.This question is unsolvable from a philosophical point of view.

After thinking for a while, he had to start from the direction of the actual effect, and said: "Our goal is mainly to organize more people and participate in labor in a more efficient way. In this way, everyone can live a better life and free up manpower. Engage in more important tasks such as war. Therefore, how to organize women is just a formality, and the overall goal is for Rome. Compared with the interests of Rome, I think even if there are some problems, it is acceptable. We will gradually Just perfect the system, make improvements, and that’s it.”

"From this matter alone, the efficiency of doing this will indeed be higher." Brother Patrick did not object: "However, when we formulate policies, we should also consider the wider impact and subsequent effects, not just Look at the matter itself."

"In this matter, Rome can definitely get extra benefits. But will the hidden dangers caused by this cause greater losses?" He said with some concern: "I am worried that the labor of a thousand weavers will be lost. Not worth the damage done by a woman who takes her chances in power."

"I don't want to oppose your plan. In fact, I also think this idea is very effective. It's just that some details need more attention." He suggested: "Also, everyone knows that you are still blocked. Rees culture has a relatively large influence."

"I think the people of Seris still underestimate the destructiveness of women." He shook his head and judged.
