In a series of drastic transformations of "Blackwood City", the city lord promulgated three decrees, which completely caused "Blackwood City" to abandon its original traditions. The big ship "Blackwood City" sailed towards an unknown waters.
Freedom of commerce and no discrimination against businessmen.
The second decree allowed the sale of slaves, but taxes were required.
Article 3: Equality between men and women.
The Mayan Empire was composed of city-states, and city-states were composed of tribes. 99% of the tribes followed the law of male superiority and female inferiority. The third decree really caused a lot of opposition. Some people within the Ping An Army did not understand why Liu Wei'an promulgated such a laborious law. Unpleasant decree.
Little did he know that when the old city lord heard the words 'equality between men and women', he almost jumped up with anger and chanted a dozen times: Vicious, so vicious, such a vicious person!
"What does equality between men and women have to do with us?" Elephant would definitely not object to Liu Wei'an's decision. He was just surprised that this matter did not seem to be of any benefit to the Ping An Army.
Liu Wei'an smiled and said nothing and did not explain.
He only thought of two at first, but Fang Xiaoyuan reminded him of the third law. At first, he didn't understand the benefits of 'gender equality' until Fang Xiaoyuan explained it.
They are from the Han Dynasty, and when they appear on the territory of the Mayan Empire, they are naturally enemies. The people of the Mayan Empire, from top to bottom, from men to women, will be hostile to them. However, if they win rights for a certain weak group in the Mayan Empire, the oppressed group of people will be grateful to them, and even if they are not grateful, they will not be so hostile. This is the most direct benefit.
Secondly, when there is oppression, there is resistance, and when there is resistance, there is suppression. The liberation of women's rights means the reduction of men's rights. Women can be said to be liberated, but men are naturally unwilling. They want but are unwilling to give. This contradiction cannot be solved. Reconciliation will definitely lead to war in the end, and this is the most interesting and exciting point.
What was originally an external war between the Mayan Empire and the Han Dynasty turned into an internal battle between men and women. Even if Liu Wei'an and others could not sit back and watch, at least they could greatly reduce the pressure.
The benefits are too numerous to describe in words.
Of course, the law of equality between men and women will not be effective in a short period of time.
Laws and regulations need time to ferment. When the time is ripe, they will explode with power comparable to that of an atomic bomb.
The old city lord was very old, but his mind was not slow. On the contrary, he was very sober and he immediately noticed Liu Wei'an's evil intentions.
But, what can you do if you know? Can he still object? cannot.
The church has always promoted the idea of equality between men and women. It is only for the need of governance that thoughts and actions are separated. If the old city owner objects, it will be a blatant confrontation with the church and will become the common enemy of women. It's not that the women in the Mayan Empire don't want to fight for their rights, but that the men guard their rights so tightly that they can't find an opening. But now, Liu Wei'an has given them a crowbar. If the old city lord dares to go there despite the millions of people, Well, then there is only one result, shattered into pieces.
He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't object. You can imagine how depressed he felt.
"Your clothes are so ugly. They are all old styles from that time. They have been out of date for a hundred years. Come on, wear this one. For the sake of your beauty, I will give you a 20% discount." The salesman said skillfully. said the reserved woman. The woman was still hesitant, but the salesman had already grasped her psychology and pushed her into the dressing room without any explanation. When the woman changed her clothes and appeared in front of the mirror, she looked at herself in the mirror and could no longer look away.
She was intoxicated by the exclamations and envious looks around her, and she no longer had the courage to take off this skirt. The woman bought the dress, an old piece of clothing, and threw it away. She didn't want to look at it again. The salesman said it was a 20% discount. I'm afraid only the boss would know whether there was actually a discount.
"Sir, I'm not just bragging. These shoes are waterproof, cold-proof and high-temperature resistant. To put it bluntly, they can go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. You can try it and see if it's good. You'll know after you try it. If it's not good, it doesn't cost money. And There is no loss." The stall owner has a sweet mouth and treats everyone like a young man or a young lady.
Some shabby young men tried to take a few steps after changing their shoes, with a surprised expression on their faces. His shoes were made by women in the tribe, using plant fiber and leather. I won’t mention the workmanship, because they are Artificially made, the two shoes are not the same size.
They are not resistant to heat during the day and cold at night. Not only do they leak water, they also sting your feet. The hawker's shoes look like mother's hands, with no threads.
The seams seemed to be tailor-made for him, so suitable. The shape of the shoes was made according to the curve of the foot, and it fit perfectly. The defensive properties haven't been tested yet, but the comfort level is enough for him to put it down.
"How much?" The young man went back and forth more than a dozen times, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation.
There was a smile on the vendor's face. As long as customers started asking about the price, the order would basically be gone...
What is industrialization is to produce the maximum product at the minimum cost. The industry of the Han Dynasty was highly developed, and the same production of a pair of shoes might only take 30 minutes and cost 30 copper coins in the Han Dynasty, but in the Mayan Empire, the time It may take three days, and the cost is difficult to calculate, but the price needs to be at least 300 copper plates.
The huge difference in product prices meant that when the products of the Mayan Empire met the products of the Han Dynasty, they were beaten back and forth without any room to fight back.
The Mayan Empire is also ruthless. If it can't be defeated, it won't be fought. It will directly suppress business and make your products unable to be sold. I only use my own products. No matter how cheap or high-quality your goods are, what's the use? You can't enter the Mayan Empire.
Now, Liu Wei'an has relaxed all the restrictions of "Blackwood City", and a large number of products have poured into "Blackwood City". Some young people may have never seen so many strange products in their lives. The prices of the products have made many Young people have no resistance. The price of buying the same thing in the tribe is 10 times higher than what it is in front of you. You can already think of how to choose.
In order to buy these dazzling array of items, the men and women of "Blackwood City" emptied their pockets, while the Ping An Army only paid some trivial items. These items can be seen everywhere in the Han Dynasty, on the streets and in garbage bags. Everywhere.
When they arrived at "Blackwood City", they all became treasures. After the Ping An Army got the gold coins, they immediately bought food without leaving a single gold coin. At first glance, the transaction volume of "Blackwood City" skyrocketed, and it felt like the economy was taking off. Only The extremely wary old city lord felt something was wrong. But he couldn't tell what was wrong. Judging from the current transactions, the Ping An Army abided by the law and did not bully the market or engage in forced buying and selling. Everything was legal and compliant. However, he just felt like something was wrong.
