The road to national restoration that began at the end of the century - #85 - Chapter 86 But who will this thing be sold to?

As everyone might have guessed, no one in the Krolod Empire had ever seriously considered women’s rights in the past. So much so that for almost thousands of years, women have had their fate determined by the men of their own families.

In particular, there is a concept that Zelen himself needs to be eliminated by Senagu and other officials responsible for education.

That is, what is the use of women teaching so much knowledge? It is better to find a rich husband, marry off early, and live a rich and powerful life.

Regarding this, Zelen couldn’t figure out why anyone would think so.

This is the “evil” act of treating women as commodities.

Although to a certain extent, due to their poor economic situation, some families send their children who cannot support them to their neighbors or to the homes of some relatives and friends early to be adopted as child brides. It is not a heinous crime.

But why does this happen?

poverty.

Why are you poor?

Because these poor families have not received more knowledge and education, and therefore do not have more skills that can increase their income. So because I didn’t master enough skills to make a lot of money, I spent a lot of time that shouldn’t be wasted on creating new lives.

As a result, when a family like this has more children, it will naturally aggravate the already bad economic problems.

The simplest is to switch from eating rice to drinking porridge.

Under such circumstances, there is naturally no way to sever the issue of the child-bride son-in-law and child-bride daughter-in-law.

Even if there are relevant provisions in the law prohibiting the sale of children; but… if the people below carry out collective cover-up crimes, and even send their children to other people’s homes to be raised before they can remember, it means that a law is in place. A de facto “death”.

And this is one of the things that Zelen least wants to see. At the same time, precisely because of the current war and the limited number of male subjects, Zelen needs to let more female subjects come out to work and contribute to the country.

Of course, this definitely does not refer to the use of the body for labor service in the Akitsu Empire, which is a serious crime against female people.

Yes.

The Akitsu Empire, as a modern and advanced country, has maintained a tradition that is very disgusting for women in other countries until now.

Female people were specially recruited to provide physical comfort, so that the pressure of the soldiers could be relieved as much as possible.

Therefore, when the Akijin Empire invaded, Zelen had seen a lot of stories about female Japanese people who would rather drink bullets or hang themselves, even cut their own veins and cut their necks, and even deliberately committed attacks and were killed by pig-headed men or black-haired men. A report on the incident where the kobolds were shot and never taken prisoner.

It has to be said that there are many strong women among the Rimai people, and they deserve to be recorded in history books. With these sacrifices, Zelen, as the emperor, not only cannot learn from his grandfather. Instead, he needs to lead by example and give women, including Jean, that awareness.

as well as……

The Akitsu Empire needs to find a way to take care of it.

Qin: “Zeren?”

Zelen: “It’s okay. By the way, how are you improving the explosive formula here?”

Qin: “It’s okay. But the key issues are always related to raw materials. If the quality of raw materials is not good, the problem of explosives cannot be solved.”

Therefore, Zelen couldn’t help but nodded slightly.

Jean can make explosives, and she also knows how to improve the quality of explosives.

This was one of the things he most wanted to see.

He didn’t want to see Qin just relying on his youth and the children he would give birth to in the future.

If the Krorod Empire wants to revive, women must work out of the house, there is no other choice.

For this reason, Zelen even hopes that female subjects can share many tasks that were originally responsible for male subjects.

So at night…

bump!

bump!

Nagamasa: “Hmm…ah…the recoil of this gun…the foreign trade products of the Orchid Republic are deadly…”

Accompanied by two unusual gunshots, Nagamasa’s assassination attracted the collective vigilance of a large number of pig-headed men due to his poor marksmanship (the shooting could not achieve the desired effect due to the inability to withstand the recoil). It’s just that Nagamasa is not an idiot. The pig-headed man he asked his men to kill with a knife had prepared an escape route for him.

Especially his “independence” rifle…

No, this gun is not suitable for him at all.

There was only one person who reluctantly used the gun as a crutch to support himself back to the safe house.

Adjutant: “General, are you okay?”

Eiji: “I didn’t expect that today’s assassins are becoming more and more bold. Those two shots just now were definitely not caused by ordinary guns. Look, there are two small craters on the ground, two of them, 20 mm caliber ammunition.”

Although Eiji’s face remained calm, the two small craters about 10 meters away from him on his left made him feel that there must be rebels around him who were resisting him, or even fighting against the Akitsu Empire.

At the same time, he had to admire the 20mm gun… it was a cannon! At least in his understanding, the traditional dividing line for guns is the 13mm caliber. As long as the caliber exceeds 13 mm, they are all cannons, small cannons that can be loaded automatically or that only allow manual loading.

In order to kill himself, the shooter who carried out such an assassination was probably worried and deliberately used a weapon that was not used to shoot ordinary infantry units to deal with himself.

However, he looked at the two small bullet holes caused by the shooting, and thought that the assassin might not have tested the shooting in a safe place, which led to the two shots missing.

In other words… the guy who tried to shoot him used a weapon that was not suitable for him?

Don’t jump to conclusions yet, wait for the subordinates to track the opponent’s traces before analyzing.

Compared with Yingsi’s calmness, Nagamasa was staggering and supported by his subordinates to the safe house. Two shots, just two shots, his shoulder hurt so much that he almost cried.

Why did the Orchid Republic develop this kind of weapon and circulate it on a large scale in the black market?

This is not a weapon that a single soldier should use.

In this regard, Nagamasa looked at the rifle that almost took his life. He didn’t need to think too much, and he was ready to find an opportunity to sell it directly.

But who should this thing be sold to?

It’s impossible for the Akitsu Empire, the Krurod Empire?

Alas!

The bodies of the Japanese people he had killed could probably be piled up into a small mountain. When the Japanese people saw him, they would definitely raise their butcher knives or guns of unknown caliber to kill him.

Especially the Japanese people are not forgetful people. They have their own historical heritage and extremely strong temperament.

The past slavery era did not make the Japanese people docile. On the contrary, the Japanese people are notoriously hard-headed.

Yes.

If he, Nagamasa, had no grudges against the Japanese people, he would probably be able to sell a lot of unsuitable garbage.

Otherwise…

The rumored Dark Elf Clan?

If there is any caravan in the world that can still carry out normal trade activities, it is only these “crazy people” who can use all kinds of means to make money.

But how should they contact them?

Nagamasa himself did not dare to say that he could continue to come out now.

His right shoulder hurt, very painful, so painful that he wanted to scream.

If he continued to contact the pig-headed people as an officer of the vassal army at this time, he would definitely be taken down by Yingsi because he could not raise his hand to salute for the time being.

He even let Yingsi, who had a heat-light knife, chop him alive on the spot.

This is why he has never considered close-range assassination or poisoning.

Knife fight… Even if Nagamasa can fight with a stab, he will never be able to win against a pig-headed man with superb knife skills.

And if he fights like this, won’t the guards around Yingsi deal with him together?

But now that the assassination attempt has failed, the situation is not much different. He doesn’t believe that Yingsi is incapable of discovering a black-haired dog-headed general like himself who has never raised his head, and he doesn’t believe that Yingsi is incapable of tracking down the weapons and equipment he uses.

It seems that it’s time for him to find the next base to avoid the pursuit from Yingsi and even the intelligence department of the Akitsu Empire…
