What Zhu Yunwen said was true, but whether the Queen of the Women's Kingdom would listen, and whether she would be willing to study and correct these issues, was their own problem.
After all, if you enjoy certain rights, you must pay the corresponding price.
Nothing in this world is absolutely perfect, and this problem is destined to be a difficult choice and solution for the Queen of the Women's Kingdom.
Because they know that in the current social environment, if a country wants to become strong, it must make use of the strength of men and their labor force.
This is something that women cannot replace. Even if they could, it would only be a small part, and the effect they could play would be negligible.
However, there is a problem here. If the Kingdom of Women were to give men another chance and rights, then women's rights would definitely be overthrown, and then those men would quickly rise up and regain control of power.
After all, the Kingdom of Women deliberately excludes men from many industries and fields because they are afraid that men will regain power.
For example, men are allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court, hold power in the military, and in many other places, including not allowing men to do business or make decisions.
All these forms of oppression are aimed at preventing the resurgence of men.
Those women used these methods to prevent men from taking power, in order to ensure that they could keep power firmly in their own hands.
However, this leads to one consequence: men really don't have to worry about anything in this world or in society.
They can lie down openly and honestly, since whatever they want to do is not allowed.
Since they've openly and honestly laid themselves off, then they don't need to take on any of the responsibilities their bodies should bear.
However, if the Women's Kingdom were to grant some men a little more power under these circumstances, these men would surely turn the tables quickly.
However, if we don't give them rights, opportunities, or allow them to participate in many things, the status and power of the Women's Kingdom in the surrounding countries will become lower and weaker.
This is a very difficult matter, just like Zhu Yunwen's previous warning to the princess of the Women's Kingdom.
If men in one's own country were to gain power, perhaps women would once again be oppressed by the men of their own country.
However, if the men of their country do not stand up, then the Women's Kingdom will not have the strength to protect itself and will be invaded by other neighboring countries.
At that time, men from other countries might not show them any mercy.
This is a choice, and also a gamble.
However, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom was also very clear that even if the men in her country oppressed women, they would not go too far.
However, if the Kingdom of Women were occupied by other countries, those countries would not be so kind and benevolent to them.
In Zhu Yunwen's opinion, this problem was almost unsolvable, especially in ancient society. Under such conditions, how could these women, who had finally obtained their hard-won rights, be willing to give them up?
However, if they are unwilling to relinquish power, pressure from neighboring countries will quickly mount against them.
The only solution is for the men and women of the Women's Kingdom to reach an agreement to refrain from oppressing each other, jointly govern, and jointly deal with external enemies.
As an outsider, Zhu Yunwen naturally wouldn't discuss this topic much.
After that, he took the initiative to bring up the matter of selling some weapons and equipment to the Women's Kingdom.
The Queen of the Women's Kingdom was also very excited when she heard this. On the one hand, it was because she could no longer speak up on this matter, since the weapons of the Ming Dynasty were too powerful and all countries wanted to buy them.
However, the Ming Dynasty clearly showed its refusal. Although it had expressed its willingness to sell to the Women's Kingdom, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom was still cautious and dared not inquire casually.
Now that Zhu Yunwen has taken the initiative to bring it up, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom is incredibly excited and grateful.
She immediately stood up, bowed to Zhu Yunwen, and said:
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, but I wonder about the price of these weapons..."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his hand, saying:
"Don't worry, it won't be too expensive. Besides, my Great Ming won't sell too much, especially bullets. We can only sell a small amount to you."
If you need to use it, you can negotiate with my Great Ming Dynasty to purchase it.
At the same time, I hope you won't overthink it, because bullets are a very important item, and we need to carefully regulate their sale; they cannot be sold indiscriminately.
The Queen of the Women's Kingdom immediately spoke:
"My daughter is already extremely grateful that the Ming Dynasty is willing to sell us weapons. Our Kingdom of Women will naturally not make any excessive demands and is willing to obey the Ming Dynasty and His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly, then said:
"By the way, Chechi Kingdom will probably also have a complete falling out with your Women's Kingdom this time due to some circumstances."
I had heard that you two had a conflict before. Now that the prince of Chechi Kingdom has gone mad, Che Zhiguo must be holding a grudge against my Great Ming.
However, fearing the power of the Ming Dynasty, even if they dare not take action, they might vent their anger on the Kingdom of Women, or perhaps intimidate the western kingdoms.
Therefore, regarding the weapons, our Great Ming Dynasty will provide them as soon as possible, and the Women's Kingdom should make preparations early.
Upon hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom first sighed, and then said to him:
"His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty has considered everything very thoroughly. The entire nation of our Women's Kingdom is deeply grateful to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty."
Next, Zhu Yunwen discussed the purchase of firearms with the Queen of the Women's Kingdom.
