Guo Kang thought about it carefully and found that he seemed to have overestimated the influence of religion in this matter. After he expressed his stance, the matter went quite smoothly.

The Purple Horde Khanate's gap in this aspect is too big, and it has reached the point where tradition does not matter. Moreover, after using the banner of promoting education, even if "political correctness" is achieved, the rest is not difficult.

As for the Russians, there is indeed a tradition of despising women in their village communities and "free people" groups. But now these Father Ross can even accept the teachings of the Roman Church, which shows that tradition can actually be compromised.

The real problem is the establishment issue mentioned by the Great Lama Wang.

To put it simply, it means how many idle people the Purple Horde Khanate can afford.

Although the people here did not say it explicitly, everyone obviously had a consensus: the number of 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 is the army, and the most important person in the army is undoubtedly the adult male citizen. So whatever you do, your feelings must be prioritized. So it is okay to grant more authority to women, but at the very least it should not harm their male colleagues.

If these people find that their positions and promotion opportunities have been snatched away by a woman who suddenly appears, they are likely to directly express dissatisfaction with their competitors and then question whether the Khan's court can still provide the promised benefits. These are not leisurely and peaceful times, let everyone have the leisure to toss. If this situation continues to accumulate, it's hard to say what will happen.

But conversely, because of the current shortage of manpower, we can only organize as many people as possible to participate. The best way to attract participants is to give them higher treatment. But everyone came to ask for treatment, and the government couldn't provide it... This matter became very complicated.

Therefore, whether to establish a system, what level to give it to, whether there are any restrictions, and what methods can be used... these all need to be carefully considered. Lama Wang probably has seen a lot, so when Guo Kang mentioned this, he felt a big headache.

However, Guo Kang really had no way to help him directly, so he could only act as a hands-off 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 it was in the Middle Ages, and it will not be much better even after industrialization.

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

Unlike the backward Egyptian society, the British were one of the most developed countries at the time. They had a set of the most advanced scientific methods at the time to test the intelligence of different races, ethnicities and genders. The results show that men with higher intelligence are more suitable for management roles, while women are not as mentally sharp as they should be. It can be seen that the Egyptians lack scientific concepts and have very ignorant customs. This is one of the reasons why they lag behind advanced civilization.

Therefore, after the British conquerors established their political power, they did not let them go completely like the Mamluks before them. Instead, they screened them conditionally and refused to interact with local female grassroots managers. As time passed, these people gradually disappeared.

This incident later produced some very darkly humorous consequences: later generations of Egyptians believed that it was their own tradition not to allow women to serve as religious judges, and they resolutely defended this "ancient custom" that was not even two hundred years old.

The British, on the other hand, have made a 180-degree turn in less than a century. Their theory that there is no difference between men and women has become 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 terms of periods, which is to acknowledge that in different eras, there are different best options. There is no eternal or 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 based on the final conclusion. But what Guo Kang knew was only in the early 21st century of Brother Tian's era. Except for a few fanatics, no one believes that history will end at this time and that there will be no changes after that. And since there will still be changes, who knows what will happen in the future?

Theoretically, future generations will know more than their predecessors, but the British reversed the trend too quickly. Who knows whether the current conclusion is really correct, whether it will turn back 180 degrees again, or even jump directly to another place. Jumping back and forth like this has no reference value at all.

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

Specific to this matter now, we should also analyze the specific issues in detail.

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, thereby increasing his base and laying the foundation for future power struggles. prepare for. Theodora has always been a thoughtful person and must have taken all these into consideration.

So, who is she mainly competing with, and what will she do?

Guo Kang believes that Theodora has great ambitions and has always wanted to enter the Council of Thirteen and even control the country. Then, her easiest choice would be to compete for one of the two Roman emperor positions.

In the system of the Purple Horde Khanate, although the name of Paisai Khan comes directly from Basileus, it has never been clear whether the Great Khan and the Emperor have the same position strictly speaking. Theoretically, she could take advantage of this loophole and drive Tuo Huan back to the grassland to herd sheep.

But the possibility of this situation is almost non-existent. Even Empress Irina, the "Wu Zetian of Greece", was ousted by the army when she first tried to usurp the throne. These Roman Praetorian Guards were much more violent than their counterparts in the Tang Dynasty. Without their support, no matter how powerful they were, they would be useless. Later, because her son was so good at seeking death that he was heartbroken, she was given a chance.

And taking off pleasure has always been very popular with the Legion. As he and Zhu Wenkui had discussed before, the Purple Horde Khanate was a country owned by legions. Tuohuan got along well with various forces in Nanya and Beiya, and even among the Turkmen mercenaries there were his drinking buddies and "fans". In this case, Theodora couldn't compete with him.

There are generally only a few candidates who can compete for co-ruler: Bai Saihan's mother, wife, brother, and legion war commander. If Theodora wanted to participate in the competition, she would most likely have to take over from her mother and obtain the political resources passed down by her. This would be more likely to be a matter of succession rather than competition. And the wife who was out of love... now doesn't even have a shadow.

Tuohuan now has no biological brothers, and in order to ensure the stability of succession, other clan branches of Zizhang are often sealed to remote places, even on the grassland, and have little influence in the central government. In this way, only the last one remains.

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

Based on this calculation, Theodora's biggest potential competitor seems to be himself...

Guo Kang was a little stunned for a moment.
