God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

Because women in Honggu are good at weaving, the status of grassroots women is higher than that of other countries. In fact, this year’s eldest princess was raised as an heir since childhood—if the favorite concubine of King Honggu hadn’t given birth to the king A male heir, and the king was not dazed and prepared to replace the current excellent heir.

In this era where patriarchy prevails, it is useless for the eldest princess to be capable, unless she rebels, otherwise the king has the final say on the identity of the heir.

Of course, the subjects were against it at first.

Although many families in Honggu are inherited by women, the mainstream of succession to the throne is still male, because men have no risk of giving birth—the death rate of women who conceive and give birth to children is too high these days, and the throne cannot bear such twists and turns.

But the situation of the eldest princess is different. She is already very big, and she is still a qualified heir, and she is very healthy. There is a high probability that she will successfully give birth to the next generation of heirs.So why give up this ready-made to choose a child with a higher mortality rate?

It is important to know that the mortality rate of a woman dying in childbirth is not as high as that of a child, and the child is more likely to die earlier than the eldest princess.

Another important factor is that the mainstream of this world is: the lineage of children is from the mother.This is the idea left over from the matrilineal clan, and most countries currently follow this.

The eldest princess of Sharjah is the child of the first princess, born noble.The little boy's mother was just the daughter of a petty official.So the little boy's status is much lower than that of the Princess Sharjah. Even if the Princess Sharjah does not succeed, there are two other princesses whose mothers are of higher status. What's wrong with him?

At this time, the king came up with a show operation. He asked the little boy to recognize a certain noble concubine as his mother.The concubine had no children, so she adopted the child after careful consideration, so the child's status was only a little lower than that of the eldest princess of Sharjah.

In order to let his son who is still breastfeeding succeed to the throne, the king has also tried his best, and even almost fell out with the officials of his country.

Then they decided to take a step back.

What King Honggu meant was that the son still inherits the throne, but if the daughter does not get married, she can take care of the son for a period of time until his son, and the eldest daughter can retire honorably.In case his son does not survive, the throne belongs to the eldest princess.If the daughter wants to get married, in order not to hinder the status of the son, she must marry to a foreign country, but she will compensate a lot of dowry.

The reason for this is that once the eldest princess of Sharjah gives birth to a healthy child and has an heir, her approval rate will rise a wave.

Recently, after the favorite concubine blew the pillow wind for a few days, the old king began to tend to marry off the eldest princess.

The king of the Red Valley thought very well, but the eldest princess had her own ideas.

Raised as an heir since she was a child, her vision is different from that of a harem woman. At least she never hides her desire for power.Rather than being the regent for a while, she wants to use her little brother as a springboard to become a queen.

If her father insists on marrying her off, then don't blame her for starting to plan for herself.

The eldest princess didn't think that her little brother, who was still in her infancy, and his mother, who could only flirt, could defeat the coveted cousins.If the throne is destined to be lost, it is better to lose it in her hands.

Yes, the eldest princess seems to be on a mission, but she is actually looking for the best marriage partner for herself.

And she has already thought about it, strengthen herself, and one day go back to her mother country.

The First Princesses of many empires are powerful, and they have independent rights to rule a certain land.This kind of rule is independent of the king, she will be the only queen, and Sharjah is ready to take this route.

Of course, this matter must be planned slowly in private, the old king is not dead yet.

It can be said that the eldest princess Sharjah is a very capable woman, and she was the first to propose the purchase of food this time.The king just asks her to see how Tae-seok is doing, and it would be nice to get some seeds in exchange.

The eldest princess of Sharjah is thinking about marriage.She got the news that a cloud-like plant had appeared in Taixi, which could weave cloth. The output was higher than that of flax, and the quality of the woven cloth was even better.Taixi had the seeds, and she had plenty of weavers and more efficient looms.The female workers and looms in her hands are as important to Taixi as the copper mine.

Female workers, looms and the female army formed by herself, this is the dowry she prepared for herself.

Linen cloth is an important material for Honggu’s export. If Taixi also exports a large amount of cloth, it will have a huge impact on Honggu’s cloth industry.Sharjah sees the impact that a seed like Tay Tin can have on Red Valley.

If she was still the heir princess, she would bring this up.But now, her father has deprived her of the power of regent, severed her contact with several subordinates, and even disbanded her private army without her permission.Many previous supporters also switched directions when they saw that the king had made up his mind.

He is guarding against her.

And the country she loved rejected her, and no matter what she had done for this country, it seemed that she was not as good as a man.

"You are too desperate, you are too competitive, you are a princess, you just need to marry a prince."

"Don't practice fighting, don't strengthen your body, that's the aesthetics of inferior people, you have to modify your appearance."

"Don't have too many lovers, cover your breasts, don't show your thighs, men like women who stay at home quietly."

"Don't be hysterical, don't be emotional, don't hit people, don't curse people, men don't like it."

Ah.

If she doesn't work hard, how can she overwhelm her cousin and become the heir recognized by the people and officials?Could it be that she was born to be the heir?No, she won it.

If she doesn't practice hard fighting, how can she lead the soldiers to win the victory for Honggu?Her father had forgotten how proud he was on his face when he welcomed her back from victory.

As for lovers, shouldn't that be the right of those in power?

hysteria?curse?No, she only kills.

Princess Sharjah laughed: I'm sorry father, I was born to be a queen.

If the people of Honggu don't want her to be queen, then send troops to conquer Honggu.

If her father doesn't want her to be queen, cast him out.He'd have the best of everything in the world, just without power—like he did to her.

Since she was born, she has received the education of being a king. Give up?impossible.No one can make her give up.

Taixi is the country that Princess Sharjah chose for her marriage.

Now Sharjah has two choices, one is the son of God Taixi, who has a supreme status and a strong prestige.One is Prince Sham, Tai Tin's sure heir, the next king.Take advantage of their power, train your own soldiers, conquer Honggu, and make Honggu her vassal state.

Sharjah is more inclined to Taixi's son of God than the rumored playful and lustful Prince Sham.

"It is said that Taixi's son of God is under strict protection, and the next great priest of the Sun God Temple is inseparable from him." The officials who accompanied him on the mission reported the collected information in a low voice.

Princess Sharjah is sitting on a tree stump, wearing a leather skirt and boots, a bronze machete hanging around her waist, and a mace bracelet on her wrist. She has a special ability and wildness.She played with Curry's popular rattle given to her by her subordinates, and asked, "He never goes out?"

"Even if we go out, there are dozens of people in the crowd who secretly protect and follow us," the official said.

Princess Sharjah rubbed her chin: "Suddenly a son of God appeared, and Taixi's temple accepted it unconditionally from top to bottom. No, not only unconditionally, but I can't wait to push him to the kingdom of God. It's really interesting..."

She didn't think that the priests in the temple who prayed and burned incense all day were innocent people.Could it be that all of them really got some kind of oracle, and that God Son really has such a miraculous origin?

The more Princess Sharjah thought about it, the more she felt that it was a mystery, and she couldn't wait to meet her.

Missions from various countries set off from different directions with various purposes, and then arrived in Curry one after another.They lived in the other courtyard where foreign missions were entertained. Someone sent a message, wanting to see Taixi's son of God, but it was not surprising that he was rejected, and the other party said that the son of God was busy.

No matter how busy you are, you don't have time to see each other?The missions didn't believe it, but apparently accepted the reasoning.

In fact, the official in charge of reception was not lying, Yunze was indeed busy, he was busy squeezing shea butter.

Shea nuts were discovered by accident, included in a tribute gift from a southern vassal state.They regard shea nuts as a special fruit. The pulp is a bit like avocado, but the core is not needed.

Shea butter comes from the fruit pit. Haven't they discovered the magical effect of shea butter at this moment?

Seeing that Yunze was curious, Menis told him about this small country, which is located in a warm and humid area, poor and backward, and even has the vicious custom of female circumcision.But such places also produce spices, and they pay tribute to Taixi with spices and olives every year.Shea nut is one of their local specialty fruits, and in their mythology there is also a goddess incarnate of shea nut.

A country rich in shea nuts?Or a small country that is a vassal?

That is to say there is a chance to get a lot of shea butter?

Yunze couldn't help but tell the king about it. The shea nut core can be cold-rolled like an olive, and then a natural solid vegetable oil can be obtained, which can be used to make balm and skin care products.His cheat sheet for making skin care products contains detailed information on extracting shea butter, and most vegetable oils can be extracted in this way.

Although he hasn't made it yet, both Menes and the king believe everything he says unconditionally.

The king immediately told the envoys of the dependent countries that a new tribute would be added to the new contract.

The envoy of the small country trembled with fright, thinking that King Taixi wanted the lion to speak loudly.Unexpectedly, the other party asked them to pay as much shea nut stones as tribute every year, as much as olives.

This envoy is Zhang Er's King Kong, who can't figure it out, but since he is not asking for tribute of gold or other precious items, but just the stone of a certain fruit, then add it and add it.

On the other hand, the shea nuts sent by the dependent country have been peeled, the pulp is made into desserts, and the core is cold pressed. During the process, a little hot water needs to be added to dissolve the fat.What is produced in this way is a white solid oil with impurities and a strong smell.Yunze experimented with several methods, and finally found that the oil was heated and melted and then filtered to obtain shea butter that was white to milky yellow and had no strong smell.

Out of some selfishness, Yunze asked women to make shea butter, and said that the quality of shea butter produced by women would be better, and he hoped that women would be in charge of this work in the future.

In this era, there are too few jobs that women can do, and the more delicate but not strenuous work of extracting shea butter can completely become a 'female occupation'.

With the help of a stone mill, the part of grinding the fruit core is replaced by livestock, so the workload is not very heavy, but it requires more patience and care, and it is more suitable for women.But to turn this into 'purely female' work, it needs a bit of guidance, for example, he can send this idea and production method together.

Menis and the others didn't understand Yunze's thoughts, because he actually wanted to tell the envoy of the dependent country about this production method.

"Since His Majesty asked them to pay tribute to the fruit stone, and this kind of fruit oil has appeared in the country, they will soon find out that it is a plant similar to olive oil. Therefore, there is no need to conceal it. If this is the case, we might as well tell it from the beginning They. Of course, they are not free, they can be exchanged for other things. Your Majesty will decide the pros and cons." Yun Ze explained.

King Taixi stroked his beard and felt that what Yunze said made sense. Any country knows how to squeeze olive oil.He was already thinking about what benefits he would get in exchange.This is a way to bring wealth for a long time, how can we not kill him?

At this time, Yunze proposed his real purpose and asked the other party to learn his method completely. It is best for women to take over from fruit picking to production, so that the quality of the shea butter produced is better.

Putting women in important jobs that bring economic benefits can improve their status, Yunze thinks so.

Yunze, who has not really been polished in society, is naive in his thinking, but there is nothing wrong with his idea of ​​giving women more voices from an economic perspective.It's just that the women who benefit first should not be the women of Taixi country, but the women of those countries who grow this plant in large quantities and may rely on this plant to increase their income in the future.
