Chapter 263 Different purposes
In the study, the two of them drank fruit drinks in silence, neither of them spoke, and they seemed to be waiting for each other.
In the end, it was Barina who spoke first, "Doctor Wen, although there is no agreement between you and me, you should be clear about what I want. We are heading in the same direction."
Barina has been the leader of the clan for more than 20 years, so she naturally knows that Wen Yunxi is not as harmless and kind-hearted as he seems. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to transform from a low-status outlaw to a low-status outlaw in less than a year. One of the two powerful people in Lanzhou.
She had always wanted to have a good talk with Wen Yunxi, but Wen Yunxi's house was delivered simply, and when she mentioned these things, she always changed the subject. It was not until these two days that she met the clan leaders alone, which made her a little confused about Wen Yunxi. old attitude.
Wen Yunxi put down the cup, looked directly into her eyes, and said seriously: "Chief Barina, you may have some misunderstandings about me. I do want to contribute to women, but my purpose is different from yours. I am looking for the way to equality. It’s not about women being respected or men being respected. Now because it’s heavily tilted towards men, I’m putting more weight on the woman’s side to pull the balance in this direction. When the balance reaches a balance, I will let it go.”
"How to calculate balance?"
"When they are no longer restricted because of their status as women, as long as they have the ability and willingness, they can become officials, tutors, police officers, and even take the imperial examination and move bricks on construction sites."
Barina smiled brightly, "Mr. Wen, this is the case for the Red Lian clan. Our purpose is the same."
"With all due respect, I don't like the rules of the Honglian clan. Women in your clan may be free and respected, but men are restricted to the same level as women in the Central Plains. It's just a matter of switching between men and women. Where is the equality?"
The best in this regard is the Shuiyi tribe, which respects the strong but does not bully the weak. As long as you are strong enough, no matter you are a man or a woman, you can become a warrior, an elder, or even a clan leader. Moreover, when it comes to the child's surname, the couple can discuss it and the child can have any surname.
Barina was at a loss for words. The Red Lian tribe respected women, so men naturally had no status at all.
"I will allow all clans in Lanzhou to integrate, but I will not interfere with the rules within your clan. You can rest assured on this aspect. In addition, because of the specialness of the Honglian clan, I will also favor you in certain matters."
Barina hesitated for a moment, but still tried her best to fight for it: "Only two people from the Red Lian clan have entered the Xuanfu Division. Can you help me win a few more?"
In order for the Honglian clan to have a say in Lanzhou, the official position of the Xuanfu Division is a top priority. This is one of the reasons why she firmly supported Wen Yunxi at the beginning. But now the two people who have entered are just ordinary officials, and they are not the same as her. expectations are very different.
"You also know that in order to integrate the female soldiers of the Red Lian clan into the Hulan Army, Ayun and I have put in a lot of effort. Compared with the military camp that values force, it will only be more difficult for women to enter the officialdom. I hope you won't be too hasty. ”
The Hulan Army is composed of twenty-five clans. The Honglin clan, which is full of terrifying legends, and the Honglian clan, which has all female soldiers, should have been included naturally, but they were opposed by many clans. It was Shu Yun who overcame all the opinions and allowed them to join the army. The argument was suppressed by a contest on the spot.
But problems also arise. The Honglian tribe respects women and their attitude towards men is inevitably too arrogant. The girls of the Shuiyi tribe often need to mediate, coupled with Shuo Yun's force to suppress it, to prevent conflicts from expanding.
Barina naturally knew what happened in the military camp, but she couldn't be in a hurry. Seeing that all kinds of people had positions in the Xuanfu Division, the Red Lian clan was already at a disadvantage. If they didn't occupy more seats now, how could they be there in the future? Opportunity.
"But……"
Wen Yunxi intercepted her words, "The work of the yamen of the Xuanfu Division is very important, and it is related to the stability of the entire Lanzhou. Although I have a quota, I cannot place it casually, otherwise there will be no difference from Sangfu." Wen Yunxi Xi understands her concerns, and also knows that under the current situation, the Honglian tribe can easily be marginalized. After all, they are the only tribe in Lanzhou that respects women, but she has actually leaned a lot towards them, and she cannot force her way in regardless of her ability. Bar.
"What about the Shuiyi tribe? Why can they get so many people in and occupy so many important positions?"
After Barina finished speaking, she was worried that Wen Yunxi would be offended, so she quickly said: "Sorry, that's not what I meant. I just think the girls from the Red Lian tribe are also capable, and I hope you can give them more opportunities."
During this adjustment, the most people from the Shuiyi tribe who entered the Xuanfu Division were the Shuiyi tribe, many of whom were women. Naturally, there were strong objections to this move, but Wen Yunxi and Xuan Lin supported it at the same time, so the objections were muted. In contrast, Hong Lian The clan finally got two people in, and they were just ordinary officials, which really made her feel uncomfortable.
She knew that the Shuiyi tribe was Wen Yunxi's most trusted force, and she also knew that Wen Yunxi had a good relationship with the next leader of the Shuiyi tribe, Zhuo Yun, but they were both women. Why could a woman from the Shuiyi tribe hold an important position? The girls from the Honglian tribe can only be officials.
"It's not that I don't give them a chance, it's that they are not suitable at the moment. I have no control over King Lin's side, but the officials I arrange in this way must be competent. Otherwise, who will be responsible except for the problem."
Wen Yunxi raised his hand to stop Barina's words and continued: "It is true that people from the Shuiyi tribe have never served as officials in the Xuanfu Division, but I arranged for someone to teach them last year. Even if they have no practical experience, they can quickly adapt."
Barina is not stupid. When she said this, she suddenly reacted and had a guess in her mind. She asked, "What does Divine Doctor Wen mean?"
Wen Yunxi blinked at her and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "I recalled the people to Pingxiba. You arrange for ten smart tribesmen to come over and teach them secretly. When the time is right, I will put them in."
When Barina heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Yunxi promised again that as she said, as long as the ten people selected are not stupid, there will be no problem.
After sending the Honglian clan members out of the gate of Pingxiba, Wen Yunxi wanted to go directly to Linwang Mansion for dinner, but he saw more than a hundred people walking in front of him. The few old people walking in front were all smiling with big baskets on their backs. The pleats look very familiar.
"Master Niu? Why are you here? Didn't I tell someone to buy it?" Wen Yunxi hurriedly ran over to greet her, causing a group of old people to narrow their eyes with joy and gather around her to greet her.
Fei Li was caught in the middle and squeezed next to Wen Yunxi. The blush spread from his ears to his collar. He pursed his lips for a long time but said nothing.
Wen Yunxi was busy chatting with the old people and didn't even notice him. "Come on, follow me to the canteen. I'll let the cooks make a delicious meal."
The kitchen had just been enlarged and the cooks were happy. Wen Yunxi spoke. Even though he was woken up from the bed, he started cooking without saying a word. The aroma wafting out made people salivate.
At first, Mr. Niu and the others were a little reserved when they sat in the cafeteria, but when the braised food was served, they didn't care about anything else and started eating fiercely.
Wen Yunxi let Fang Ya wait beside him and silently exited the canteen.
