Guo Kang still felt that Guo Ponu agreed to this matter too hastily.
The main problem is not that she is afraid that Guo Ponu will not be able to bear it in two days and will eventually lose her job - anyway, she is the eldest daughter of the Guo family, and she will not starve to death without this job.
He didn't really want Guo Ponu to work. Simply being a mascot, representing everyone in socializing and selling face, is actually enough. Naturally, you can find specialized personnel to take charge of specific matters.
What he was more worried about was whether Guo Ponu's departure would affect the progress of the entire plan. If others saw her giving up halfway, they would probably be affected too.
He knew Guo Ponu well and knew that she had an impatient temper. I don’t know if her parents are not strict enough on her, so she often behaves as she pleases. If you want something, you want to do it right away. On the other hand, if you lose interest, you will quickly lose patience. Such a temper is really not suitable for running such a long-term thing.
However, others don't know this. It would be bad if her reaction caused outsiders to speculate and waver, wondering if there was something wrong with the plan.
However, Guo Ponu was unusually sure. She told Guo Kang that she actually didn't care what kind of work she did, as long as Guo Kang arranged it for her. If she could help, she would be satisfied - anyway, she really didn't rely on this to make a living.
Guo Kang was a little overwhelmed by this.
Guo Ponu became curious about the plan itself, and wanted to ask Guo Kang how he came up with this idea along the way.
"The reasons are quite complicated." Guo Kang did not hide this: "As for the direct reason, I should hope that more women can get jobs with high enough income."
"How did you come up with this?" Guo Ponu asked.
Guo Kang actually didn't think so much back then.
Due to his experiences in his previous life, it seems to be an "instinct" for him to involve women in labor. But after communicating with Tuo Huan and others, Guo Kang also began to think about the reason behind this "instinct".
Guo Kang knew very well that as a time traveler, he had something unique. But even in this world, the principle of "know yourself and your enemy" applies. Both Eastern scholars and Greek sages have repeatedly warned students and future generations of this truth. If you want to maximize your abilities, you must first have a basic understanding of yourself.
And this, to be honest, is not an easy job...
Are time travelers advanced? Guo Kang was very confident back then, but now he dare not say it. Because after actual operation, he found that he couldn't even determine what "advanced" was - which civilization was the benchmark for advanced civilization was enough to debate for a long time.
In his time, the word "evolution" in biology was replaced by "evolution". So does society evolve or evolve? Is it right to use biology as a metaphor for society? None of this can be determined at all.
Therefore, only by conducting personal investigations and experiments can you find the most suitable method. The classics given by others, whether written by Confucius and Mencius or modern people, can only be used as reference. If you recite these as sutras, problems will arise sooner or later.
Therefore, he really needs to consider why he is doing this, and it is also necessary to explain to everyone to strengthen their confidence.
"According to the results of our discussion, this is more beneficial to everyone." He told Guo Ponu: "This kind of work is more efficient than other categories, so it can free up more manpower and gather more financial and material resources. Use it in more important places. For the participants themselves, they can also get better rewards."
"It sounds very real. I think it's reliable." Guo Ponu nodded.
"I feel now that it should be real." Guo Kang thought for a while and said, "If I say it is to improve the treatment and status of women in the world...it seems to have no meaning."
"This is indeed...empty." Guo Ponu thought for a moment and agreed: "This goal is too big. It seems...that it has lost its sense of reality."
"Yes. For example, I can help you unconditionally." Guo Kang gave an example: "But why should I help you? Because you are my sister. There are actually reasons and conditions for this: If our relationship, and Cao's brothers and sisters are equally embarrassed, so they may not be able to help like this."
"Moreover, the reason is indeed very 'real' - not because you are a woman, but because you are my family. There are too many women in the world, what is the point of helping them, what benefits can I get? I don't even know Don’t know them.”
"So, I now feel that the original idea should be more practical." He said: "We also have to reason with others, and these empty slogans probably won't convince anyone."
"That's right." Guo Ponu thought for a while and then warned: "As the pillar of our generation, you'd better not get involved with too many women. If you want to help them, I can do it for you, otherwise you will be with me every day. If people come into contact with me, the impact will not be good.”
"Ah... OK..." Guo Kang always felt that what she understood was different from his own. But anyway, if you can explain it clearly, that's fine.
This part of the theory is not very clear to him, and he will probably have to think about it carefully in the future.
In the world of his previous life, there were indeed theories that advocated improving women's rights, but unfortunately those theories were too crude and incompatible with the way of thinking of the Central Plains people.
What's more serious is that the core of this theory is against patriarchy. This is completely the opposite of Rome...
The basic state structure of Rome is patriarchy. The senators are called "fathers", the motherland is called "father's land", patriotism means "loving father", and the title of meritorious generals and heads of state is called "father of the fatherland".
The church has also fully absorbed these concepts. The word priest means "father", the pope is also a "father", and even Heavenly Father is a God with a father figure...
In other words, in the Roman system, father and fatherhood had reached the level of vocabulary.
In this era, most civilizations are theoretically patriarchal, but Rome may have gone further than them, to the point of being deeply bound to legality and national construction - compared with it, the patriarchy of Seris is just A symbolic thing.
In this way, this theory of women's rights is tantamount to going against Rome from beginning to end.
After all, every Roman knew that his civilization came from the pioneering work of his ancestors, the inheritance from his grandfather, the history in his lineage, and the glory passed down to him by his father. Without these, would there still be Rome?
If you want to implement it, you have to keep dismantling the Roman national concept and digging up the roots of Roman civilization until it is completely destroyed. It is a contradiction of the level of you and not me.
Other barbarian countries might try, but Rome would definitely be completely incompatible with it.
