To Four Thousand Years Later

"How dare they ask for power?

"Why are their husbands, fathers and sons willing to delegate power?" Arthur couldn't help asking: "For them, this has reached the bottom line.

"Not really. People in my own family... Compared with trustworthy cronies, they will be more at ease when handing it over to their family members." Thus, these druids gained power.

"Sounds okay, everyone is equal. I think... this is also a kind of uprising against injustice? Just like the establishment of our country. Arthur shrugged: "And then what? "

"Yeah, so far it's really ok," Gerry laughed bitterly, and took a deep breath, "but after that, some druid ladies who got power started to preach a new theory that is: dare to and Willing to defy the men so they can get their share of power'

etc? This doesn't seem to be equality in Yiyang, does it? Arthur heard the words, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "But, as far as I know... since our previous generation, there have been very few marriages, right?"

Long ago, Frank also had the practice of political marriage. The two powerful alliances used the kinship of their children as a bond in exchange for the trust and cooperation of the two—but after the establishment of the Frankish Republic. There are very few marriages between two families with similar status.

On the one hand, it is because of the birth of a large number of capitalist new nobles. These merchants with money but no power usually rely on the power protection of the nobles; similarly, those nobles with power do not like to deal with people of equal status. There is no benefit to working hard... These stupid but rich in-laws are much easier to fool. On the other hand... it was because of the restraint of the upper council.

The birth of the Upper Council meant that the nobles had completely replaced the former Frankish kings. But the power they have is fragmented... and no one hopes that this divided power will be reunited in someone's hands. If two nobles from the same faction marry, they will be suspected by the leading nobles in the faction; if it is a cross-faction marriage. It will also cause both factions to subconsciously be wary of their own family at the same time.

The only solution is the high-level marriage within the same faction. This will not only make no one dissatisfied, but also unite the faction... However, this is also impossible. Because of the birth of a large number of emerging capitalists, if two leading nobles in a faction marry, it means that their faction will not unite two high-status businessmen. It also means that the upper limit of power that the faction can strive for has been reduced.

In other words, among these upstream political members of Frank, only one of the husband and wife should hold power. There is no such thing as a "right of another right". Especially these wives—since they are already called "Madam" instead of "Nvli", it means that her husband did not marry her, but married her openly.

She doesn't know anything at first, and her family background is not as good as the other party's, but instead she asks the other party's power to be divided into half of her?

"What's the point?" Arthur frowned: "Do they think they are duchesses or business owners? Or do they have any special talents?" Griffith laughed: "Talented ladies , I have already gone out to do my own work. How could they have time to go out every day to eat vegetarian food, attend lectures, learn the language of the ancients, and hold mysterious rituals... That is, those who don't understand anything, only know how to spend money lavishly, will be allowed by their husbands to 'listen to this A class that teaches women not to buy fur'.

"Those druids demanded them according to the standards of witches. They also attributed their unsatisfactory lives to the fact that Frank was not democratic enough or equal enough, and attributed to the fact that this society suppressed them as women. They always emphasized women in various ways. You have to be independent, you can’t just follow your husband’s wishes, you have to dare to resist and be willing to resist, otherwise you will lose your personality.”

When Griffith said this, he paused slightly: "Do you remember what they were doing?"

"Advocating a vegetarian diet? No fur production?"

Arthur guessed: "Or rescue animals?"

"To be precise, it is to liberate animals." Especially those used for meat, labor, and experiments. Gerry sighed: "In the beginning, they were still raising money, and then directly bought these livestock. But as some of them gradually gained their own power, they began to become more and more radical.

"But that's just an insignificant point." Even if it's just a little bit, it will become terrible when they are in a group. They are far more united than their husbands, fathers and sons... smashing windows and throwing dirt is a good way. Of course, not by themselves.

"They hire poor people to smash windows with stones. Or paint windows and walls with feces to force them to release animals. These things in themselves are just disturbing the law and order. They only need to pay money to fish these poor people out. You don't even need to move a finger. Griffith smiled wryly: "That's how the old man got dizzy. Because her daughter led someone to smash up his old friend's research institute, took away their experimental animals, and even destroyed their research results—the research institute was used to study vaccines for livestock, which can be used to prevent and control meat. Plague of geese and ducks, and almost got some results" But they say it's a kind of nefarious research for hire... They insist that blowing up the walls, releasing the animals, destroying the research results is their own idea. I speculate that they should have tipped the families of these poor people a lot of money."

...How did it become like this? "

Arthur couldn't help sighing: "Their idea, I listened to it pretty well at first." No, there were problems from the very beginning.

Little Augustus Zheyao shook his head: "It's just that you didn't notice the crux of the problem.

"What's the key?"

"Where did the animals rescued by them go?"

He shook his head indifferently: "They didn't try to stop those acts of cruelty to animals, but pointed the finger at the animal research institute, farmers and breeders who use livestock to cultivate the land. Obviously, this is after risk assessment An act for animal rescue with maximum efficiency and minimum risk.

"Druids who call themselves animal experts should know that many domestic animals cannot survive in the wild. So, if animal rescue is considered as a business and budgeted, the largest cost should not be rescue at all"', But 'support'. That is, the annual cost of caring for these animals—including food, shelter, medical care, etc.

His eyes raised indifferently, and he was calm: "Have you heard any news about the sudden increase of wild animals somewhere? I don't have any here anyway.

"So, where are the animals rescued by them now?"

Little Augustus asked.
