Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Tuttle laughed angrily at the time: "Do you take me for an idiot, undead! Do you think I don't know how good the business is at the second copper store on the town's main road? What woman can't even take out two copper coins?! "

"Those housewives who go in and out of the Ertong hypermarket, have you carefully looked at the things in the basket?" Ji Tang said patiently.

"What do you mean?" Tuttle asked irritably.

"In our No. [-] copper hypermarket, the best-selling product is salt." Ji Tang said, "Secondly, it is plates, bowls, basins, buckets, soap, washing powder...etc. Daily necessities shared by family members."

Without waiting for Tuttle to speak, Ji Tang continued: "Do you know which types of products sell the least? Hair accessories, scarves, sleeve covers, and scarves."

After a pause, Ji Tang said deeply: "Got it, Tuttle, when housewives enter the hypermarket, their money is more used to buy the goods that the whole family needs, rather than what they need themselves - selling a small amount The scarves are for the daughter, the towels and socks are for the family, and the beautiful hairpins that women can't go to, the sales are not as good as fruit knives."

"You only see them consuming in Ertong hypermarkets, but you never notice that out of ten of the products they buy, maybe not even one is for themselves, even the aprons and sleeves that are used for housework. .”

"Now, tell me, Tuttle, how many women from the bottom do you think can easily win on their own for her 'private affairs that no one else should know', so that the family can accept an extra two dollars a month?" A copper coin?"

Tuttle's mouth was half opened, and there was no sound for a while.

Ji Tang was not at all surprised by his reaction.

Ji Tang was born in the mountainous countryside in the western part of China. Before he became an adult, Ji Tang never found out that there was anything wrong with the environment in which he grew up.

It wasn't until he became an adult and saw how women lived in big cities that he suddenly discovered something he had never discovered before-he grew up in the army and never wore a torn sock, but he saw his mother mending a sock , is her own socks.

When he was a teenager, he and his father put on new clothes to go to the market, and his mother sent them out. The loincloth tied around his body had been worn for at least five or six years, and the edges were worn out with exaggerated fraying.

In retrospect, the mother who waved her hand and told them to be careful when going out had a conspicuous patch on her sleeve.

How many years has mother not worn new clothes?Ji Tang, who grew up with his mother, couldn't explain clearly.

Even for housewives with relatively well-off families in cities, most of the products they put in their shopping baskets during the shopping festival are purchased for their families.

This kind of dedication that everyone in the family can see is often ignored by everyone.

This is unavoidable even for Chinese people who have generally received compulsory education, not to mention this world where the illiteracy rate is as high as 99%.

Tuttle's half-opened mouth slowly closed, and the impatience and irritability on his face gradually subsided, replaced by some kind of panic.

He also thought of his mother.

His mother looked for the latest compound bow for him, and her mother ordered a new shirt for him every year, and her mother carefully prepared lizard leather boots for him as an adult gift...but the newest skirts in his mother's closet are all wedding dresses. previously purchased.

Is there also a time when mother wants to buy something for herself but has trouble talking to father?

The income is considered good in Kargath's father, have you noticed the mother's needs?

Tuttle felt a stabbing pain in his heart, and his lips trembled slightly.

"Only women can have children, and they have to bear all the burdens of giving birth to new lives alone, just like your mother and me." Seeing Tuttle's reaction, Ji Tang slowed down his tone and said softly, "The difficulty of giving birth to us We can’t help, at least we can do our part to help them get rid of embarrassment and embarrassment during their menstrual period, which is very meaningful.”

Tuttle was silent for a while and didn't nod, but he didn't resist anyhow... probably acquiesced.

Ji Tang patted the shoulder of this alien who was about his age, and sighed: "It may be difficult for you to understand why we do this now, but this step, we must go, the thorns on this road, we will It must be eradicated, because this is Westem... No, because this is Innatrix, the Kingdom of the Rhine, and the human society of this world. If you want to move towards civilization, you must take the first step. "

Ji Tang has never seen the old society with his own eyes, and his understanding of the old society is limited to text and video materials.

Seeing the people's livelihood at the bottom of this alien world with his own eyes, the slightly one-sided and thin text and video data in Ji Tang's mind gradually came to life, and the suffering people in the black and white photos in the modern history books of Huaxia Kingdom gradually resembled what he saw. The faces of people from different worlds overlapped one after another.

Westham is only a few tens of kilometers away from the big city Innatrix, and the distance between these tens of kilometers is two worlds... Faux fur scarves for ten copper coins are popular in Innatrix, while in Wester Mu couldn't sell one even if he put it on for ten and a half months.

Ten copper coins are just for the warmth of the neck, which is too extravagant for the people of Westem.

Those who are willing to buy a brand-new four-piece bed set for twenty copper coins are reluctant to use it, because most people's beds are covered with hay, and people are afraid that the grass stems will hurt the sheets.

People looked at, touched and touched the thermos bottle with twenty copper coins, and discussed it with their families for a long time. It is really those who have elderly people at home and want to drink some hot water in winter, so they are willing to pay for it.

And this is a townsman who usually sees copper coins.

If you are a farmer in the countryside, you will be more frugal... If you have money on hand, you have to buy enough salt before you think about anything else.

In contrast, there is the rich wealth of Baron Marcus, the former lord of Westham, and the magnificent mansion of the former mayor, which can be used as a footwashing city after decoration...

This can still be seen in the town.

When I went to the countryside, the shock was even greater.

How big is the gap between the private farms of nobles and the farmlands of free people?

The former is connected with rice paddies as far as the eye can see, while the latter is divided into fragments by mountains and hills. The combined land of many villages is less than half the size of the farm land.

The former had plenty of animal power available, while the latter could only rely on one hand—many freedmen even had to rent iron farm tools from nearby farms to use them, and the price was to help the farms do white labor when they were free.

The mansions of the farmers are like castles, and the houses of the farmers are full of muddy walls, and the stones press the straw as the roof...

While taking Rex to the countryside for investigation, Ji Tang heard a lot about the deeds of some "country scoundrels", but what did these scoundrels do?Stealing the horse beans from the farmer's house, picking up the wheat ears in the farmer's field, being hanged up and beaten by the strong manservant, became a joke among the villagers in the countryside...

Yes, the peasants in this world even think that it is reasonable for the farmer to punish the people in the same village by lynching. They don't think it is wrong at all for the aristocratic stewards or offshoots in charge of the farm to wantonly punish and humiliate the villagers. Gentlemen of status are already qualified to be judges, policemen and executioners, which is a common rule in the world.

Ji Tang, a Chinese, certainly does not accept such unimaginable "traditional rules".

But if we want to talk about fairness and liberation, we must face the plight of women head-on.

Human beings have animal nature, and animal nature is prey to the weak, bullying the weak, and bullying the weak; in any society and ethnic group under any cultural background, if there is oppression and food chain, then the bottom must be women and children .

To protect the rights and interests of women and children, women must be liberated.

During the feudal history of China, the concubines and concubines who suffered unfair treatment were rooted in the low status of women; without thorough reforms to the society, without thoroughly breaking the old society that used class oppression as a means of ruling, only one or two took the lead It is useless for the script's concubine and concubine to go against the sky and change their fate.

In short, if women are not liberated, there is no talk of revolution.

Tuttle is not as idealistic as Rex. From Ji Tang's point of view, this guy is just a little bourgeois who misses the good life in the past. Shut up potential right Qing capitulators.

However, the Chinese people, who have thousands of years of rich experience in internal fighting, have their own fine tradition of "inclusiveness"... Just like the great man concluded, the magic weapon of struggle is to have fewer enemies and more people, and centrists with different positions As long as you don't die on the road, you can fight for it, you can draw it to the friendly camp, and you can unite the front!

Convincing Tuttle to take over the role of Rex's spiritual leader and take over the important task of publicity by setting an example. Before officially launching the publicity war, Ji Tang took the time to personally take Tuttle to the grassroots research.

The target group of this investigation is rural women. In order to facilitate the work, Ji Tang deliberately brought along the family members of two logistics department operators.

The three humans and one undead went deep into the countryside, and Ji Tang didn't let Tuttle go up to talk. He only let the family members of the operators chat with the peasant women, and dragged Tuttle to a distant place to listen.

The content of the small talk is mainly concerned with the family and personal life of the peasant women.

There are no recreational activities in the villages of this world. In order to save kerosene, most of the villagers do not turn on the lamps, and go to bed early after dark. This inevitably leads to the most secret oppression: rural women have less sexual rejection than urban women Right, as long as the village women are in the childbearing age, it is inevitable to get pregnant again and again.

Hearing the weathered-faced peasant woman who looked like an old woman, under the care of the operator's family, talk about the fact that an unformed baby was aborted last year, Tuttle's jaw almost closed.

Most of the relatively healthy peasant women have had more than five children... some of them grew up fortunately, and some of them died young, and this does not count the fetuses of accidental abortions.

This kind of excessive birth accompanied by miscarriage caused most of the peasant women to be older than their peers—this did not need to be reminded by Ji Tang, Tuttle saw it for himself after only interviewing a few peasant women.

In addition, there are common gynecological problems among peasant women that cannot be ignored, and these are all related to the improper sanitary products they use-the cloth strips they use are actually passed down from mother to daughter, even if they have figured out a way Try to hide and wash these cloth strips as much as possible, it is still difficult to avoid bad infection.

Some women have used substitutes such as corn leaves, grass balls, and even bark when they are extremely distressed...

Tuttle, who kept a safe distance to eavesdrop, was going crazy.

Women in reality and women in his cognition are like two kinds of creatures!

Bad menstrual supplies are nothing, but there is even worse physiological discrimination—almost all the interviewed peasant women, when asked about their menstrual periods when they were young, mentioned how embarrassing they were at the time; The experience of being laughed at by others because of accidentally staining the pants with blood, and being looked at with unusual eyes, is even more common.

At this time, another secret oppression caused by the physiological characteristics of women was suddenly and bloodily exposed in front of Tuttle, who had never known about it, under the report of an interviewed peasant woman.

That is... the experience of being harassed and even violated during menstruation.

Women in the countryside have no conditions to hide at home and not work during their menstrual period. When they feel unwell when working in the fields and have to find a place to change cloth strips...they have a very high risk of being peeped and harassed. , or even the risk of being raped.

When Tuttle heard this shocking reality for the first time, he was being dragged by Ji Tang to sit in the small yard of a farmer's house.

The woman who shared this experience hid in the room with the family members of the two operators and talked in a low voice. For fear of being heard by others, the woman lowered her voice very low.

Her voice was a little hoarse, slightly trembling with pain, with a strong nasal voice. If Tuttle, who was a ranger, hadn't had extraordinary hearing, he would not have been able to hear what the softly sobbing peasant woman was saying.

Tuttle's hands and feet turned cold when he heard this terrible reality, which seemed to happen to many people, and which he didn't even know about in his 30s.

How could this be?

The countryside he saw was bitter enough, and the people living in this environment were miserable enough. No one had fairer skin, and everyone's brows were wrinkled. Being overwhelmed by the burden of life, his figure became rickety early.

They have already worked so hard, why do they still bully each other?

Tuttle's mind was in turmoil.

He was a man of thieves, he took part in the ransacking of caravans, he took farms, he killed people.

Tuttle has always been angry at what happened to him. He never sees anything wrong in robbing or even killing those who are better off than himself.

This world is like this, the powerful oppress the powerless, and the powerful oppress the unarmed. His family and his future are ruined because of this fucking rule that actually controls the operation of society. Destroyed, he has the right to take that wrath out on the rich he can handle.

But these poor country women...what's the point of oppressing them?

They were already close to the ground, and they were extremely embarrassed even to survive.

The woman in the room was still talking in a low voice.

Even after many years, the dark-skinned, unattractive peasant woman in the eyes of normal men is still suffering. She desperately suppressed her voice, for fear that others would find out that she had suffered such a terrible past.

Tuttle stood up gently, trying to walk out of the yard.

Ji Tang didn't come to hold him back, but just looked at him silently with those dark eyes.

Tuttle hesitated for a while, but he couldn't bear to leave, and he really didn't want to sit back.

Ji Tang stared at this uncomfortable outsider for a while, and said softly: "You are indeed just a puppet lord picked up by Lord Yang casually. You really have no responsibility for what happens to Westem."

"But...you can also be responsible, if you want to do it." Ji Tang turned his head away and glanced at the closed wooden door, "If you want to carry the future of the people here, you can do it. "

Tuttle said nothing.

The humble and frightened face of the peasant woman in the house when he entered the door flashed in his mind.

After standing still for a while, Tuttle slowly sat back on the stone pier.

On the way to visit the next house, Tuttle, who had been silent for a long time, asked Ji Tang in a hoarse voice: "What's the use of doing this? Are you going to arrest a group of men from the village to build roads?"

Ji Tang shook his head and said sincerely: "There is definite evidence of illegality, and people should indeed be arrested, but the root cause of the current stage of women's plight is that people have become accustomed to dividing people into three, six, and nine grades, and then decide which one according to their respective status. The group has the right to ride on the head of others, which group should be submissive."

"To eliminate the plight of women, first of all, we must get rid of the so-called 'order of respect' that is accepted by everyone by default. Everyone's life should be equal, and everyone's personality should be respected. This is normal. harmonious society."

Tuttle didn't hear anything at first, but after a while, he slowly realized something was wrong, and the look in Ji Tang's eyes gradually became terrified.

"...Are you sure that what you are after is to eliminate the plight of women?" Tuttle said with horror.

"Of course." Ji Tang said as a matter of course, "Women can be bullied reasonably, employers can rationally beat workers to their bones, landlords can reasonably turn freemen into tenant farmers or even serfs, nobles can rationally exploit commoners, it doesn't matter which one is in it This kind of oppression is completely unreasonable and should be overturned, right?"

"Since you know it's wrong, you should correct it; start from the most basic part, that is, to liberate women first and solve women's plight. Isn't this obvious?"

Tuttle: "..."

"Wait a minute, you wait a moment." Tuttle couldn't remember how many times he had said to wait, it was really difficult for him to keep up with the thinking mode of the undead mayor in front of him, and said with difficulty, "If you say this... ... Rex and I are just puppets, and the real lord is Yang... Could it be possible to defeat Yang in the end?"

What he didn't say was that although he could see early on that you gang of undead didn't have much respect for Yang, it wouldn't be so open to rebel against Yang, right? !

"You think too much. The production lines in the factory area are all arranged by Yang, including the sanitary napkin production line." Ji Tangchai didn't amused this guy, "If Yang doesn't support it, how can we carry out the work?"

Players will be happy to play Yang as a boss, but the national team will definitely not.

Tuttle was stunned and terrified at first, and then his face was full of disbelief.

The Nightmare Butcher actually had such a crazy idea... It's not incomprehensible, this guy has even killed princes.

No, that's not the point!

The Nightmare Butcher is actually a friend of women? !

Tuttle felt that his own world view was shattered into dregs. This terrible truth, let alone an outsider, might make Pansy laugh out loud if he told it to Pansy.

Next, amidst the multiple denials of doubting life, the world, and self-cognition, Tuttle was dragged by Ji Tang to all the villages in Westham, including the poorest village that once reorganized Rex's worldview ——Fortunately, there are no naked farmers working in the fields this season, otherwise Tuttle might poke his eyes on the spot.

After working so hard for several days, Tuttle's face was stained with wind and frost, and even the prickly temperament of the older rebellious youth was smoothed out by the suffering in the world he saw with his own eyes.

Entering December (the time of another world), the day when the products of the hygiene product factory are launched.

When the hard-working clerks and the female employees of the logistics department who came to help put the products on the shelves of the women's products store next to the Ertong hypermarket, Tuttle took the initiative to replace them with "inherited" from Rex without Ji Tang's urging. Come over the formal dress, debut.

Tuttle, who was wearing a heroic face, had just walked out of the gate of the town hall, when a bearded man in a leather cap stood on the steps, and immediately raised his camera to snap shots at him.

Tuttle: "??"

Ji Tang, who was waiting at the door, introduced with a smile: "This is the reporter from the "Inadrian Weekly" invited by Rex to help promote our sanitary napkin press conference."

The bearded man didn't dare to get too close to the mayor of the undead, he just nodded and bowed to the new lord of Westem flatteringly.

Tuttle: "..."

Tuttle suddenly had the urge to rush to the city to find Rex to kill him.
