sweeping the world

Chapter 929 Elimination
Now it is not an ancient matriarchal society, and the status of women in most countries is very low. Although some relatively enlightened countries do not discriminate against women, there are really few countries in the world that allow women to be officials.

The social status of women in Rome is neither good nor bad, and the general social environment does not discriminate against women too much, but many jobs restrict women's participation, for example, women are not allowed to be officials.

Helena didn't know the bottom of Rome's society. What she knew was that no woman became an official in Rome. Women were always attached to men. Only when the men they attached were willing to obey could they have the right to speak.

The women in Sasanian are worse than those in Rome, especially in recent decades, the Persians have carried out repeated reforms, not any political changes or reforms, but repeated suppression of women's social status. Persian women who do not have any social status have already Falling into the abyss of pets or livestock.

Some countries have at least female leaders and queens. As the world's two self-proclaimed civilized empires, Rome and Sasanian are worse than some tribes in treating women, so don't be surprised by those princesses including Helena. They were surprised to see that there were high-ranking female officials in the Han Empire.

"May I ask..." Nikal is very young, only 15 years old this year, but according to the social customs of the Han family or Persia, 15 years old is the age to marry.She asked cautiously, "How old is your official position?"

Nika asked the question that everyone wanted to ask, but was greeted with a warning from Ye Na.

Zhuo Xiang turned her head to look at Nikar, she was not as annoyed or anything as the princesses thought, and replied with a smile: "I have two official positions, one is Da Changqiu, and the other is Diaochan."

Da Changqiu is the person in charge of the official family used by the queen, so he concurrently holds the official position of Diao Chan.

Diao Chan is not the Diao Chan of the Four Beauties, but actually an official responsible for managing hats and clothing in the palace.So the beauty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not named "Diao Chan", but her real name was Ren Hongchang.

"Da Changqiu?" Helena could understand Chinese and knew about the official positions of the Han Empire, so she instantly admired Zhuo Xiang.She lowered her voice and said to Helena: "She is the Queen's spokesperson, we need to curry favor with her."

As for what Diao Chan was, Helena couldn't understand it at all.

Ye Na and Nikal also made a decision instantly, even if they can't please Zhuo Xiang, they must not have a bad relationship with him.

The other princesses who couldn't understand Chinese were at a loss or confused, and decided to learn Chinese well.

Da Changqiu was an official position in the Western Han Dynasty, usually held by eunuchs.

However, Liu Yan has decided not to choose an eunuch anymore, and there is nothing wrong with having Zhuo Xiang as the Da Changqiu.

From entering the palace city to reaching the harem, it took them nearly an hour just to walk, and it took them another half an hour to arrive at the Jiaofang Hall after the chiming bell rang.

The Jiaofang Palace is also a continuation of the name of the palace in the Western Han Dynasty, and its function has not changed. It is a place for the queen to live.

"It took us so long just to travel, you can imagine how big the palace city of the Han Empire is!" Ye Na made a comparison, even if she didn't go all over the palace city, she came to the conclusion that the palace city of the Han Empire was absolutely huge. The size of more than five areas of San Miyagi: "If we are selected, we will live here."

Nicole walked all the way and saw too many magnificent buildings, and also read those forest gardens and other landscapes, and said with longing: "The environment here is far more magnificent than I imagined."

Every girl will imagine her life after marriage when she reaches the age of marriage.

For today's women, it is never up to them to choose what kind of person to marry. They will construct a favorite man in their imagination, and then imagine what kind of environment that man will live in. someone.

Liu Yan has reached all the imaginations of these princesses about men, and even far exceeded their expectations.

They had already imagined the place to live in a better possible direction before, but after going there themselves, they realized how lacking their imagination was.

Entering the Jiaofang Hall, the main hall is traditionally made of multiple wooden structures, and there are hardly any bricks, stones and soil. They walked into the passage of the side hall under the guidance of Zhuo Xiang.

They just turned a corner, but they were so surprised by what they saw that they stopped where they were.

I don't know where the corridor leads, but it is full of brilliant colors. The floor is covered with blankets full of auspicious patterns, and the left and right sides and the top are painted with glass materials.

There is a special word to describe it, that is carved beams and painted buildings.However, under the light, the corridor made of glass gave people a visual impact of being in the Kingdom of God.

There are multiple curtains in the corridor, which look like they are made of small green gemstones strung together with red strings?

In fact, there is nothing wrong with calling them gems, but those small ones are actually emeralds.

The already gorgeous corridors, together with the brilliance of those precious stones, make people feel what it means to be extravagant.

The Han Empire conquered the Indochina Peninsula and discovered too many emerald mines. In order not to impact the market, it controlled the release of emeralds to the market.

If there is too much of one thing, it is worthless. From the old concept, the curtain made of emeralds would be considered extravagant, but considering the amount of emeralds owned by the Han Empire, their value is not so high.

Let's talk about the glass again. If the glass is completely transparent according to Liu Yan's request, the colorful glass in the corridor is actually a failure that has not dealt with the metal bubbles.

The point is that these foreign princesses don't know, they are completely shocked by the scene in front of them.

"It's really... really!" Helena said with a dull face, "It's so beautiful!"

There have been scientific studies that show that women are far more sensitive to color than men. At the same time, women's love for gemstones is also an instinct. They don't know about glass. And the painted wall on the top, the eyes are full of splendor.

"It's too rich!" Helena was sure of one thing, just the treasure in this corridor would drive countless Romans crazy: "It must be worth more than a hundred high-end manors!"

To build a high-end manor in Rome, if it is not a luxury, it will cost about [-] gold coins for buildings, gardens, pools and other facilities.

One hundred high-end manors equals 50 gold coins!

An imperceptible contempt flashed across Zhuo Xiang's face.She is one of the people who knows how everything in this corridor came about, and it didn't cost much to put it bluntly.

Of course, those who know it will find it nothing unusual.

For example, the princesses don’t know the source of the items in the corridor. They will think it is a treasure, and most people will think it is a treasure. Since they think that even a stone will be overvalued, valuable things are never It's all set by people.

There are now a considerable amount of crooked nuts on the land of the Han Empire, and the commodity they most want to purchase when they come to the Han Empire is silk.

Later, crooked nuts discovered the value of tea, and tea became a sought-after commodity.

Porcelain was the third valuable commodity discovered, but it was less traded than silk and tea.

If there are any other products that are also sought after by crooked nuts, a small number of glass products put on the market are also one of them, such as small-area mirrors, colorful glass pieces, and glass products of various shapes.

Nowadays, the value of glass products far exceeds that of silk, tea, and porcelain, and individual glass products have even been sold for tens of thousands of gold coins, making them one of the top products of the Han Empire.

In line with the principle that what is rare is the most valuable, the number of glass products put on the market is very rare, not only the crooked nuts are sought after, but the Han people are actually chasing after them.

Liu Yan will not have any qualms about cheating nuts, nor will he feel sorry for the Han Chinese who are rich enough to buy glass products.

Setting such a high price for glass products is not affordable by ordinary people, so ordinary people cannot be deceived.

I don't know how many corridors and passages they passed through. The princesses who came here for the first time could not tell the difference between east, west and north. They saw too many things along the way, and once again confirmed the wealth of the Han Empire... at least confirmed that the royal family had Amazing wealth.

"Princesses, please wait here." Zhuo Xiang introduced them to the buildings in the palace along the way, and also said some etiquette rules: "There will be a general name later, please enter immediately when the name is called. What happens after that , I believe you already know."

The princess who could understand Chinese immediately saluted Zhuo Xiang and expressed her understanding.

There were three remaining princesses who could not understand Chinese. They followed the salute ignorantly after seeing the two princesses of Rome and Sasanian saluting.

"The meaning of the female official of the Han Empire..." Ye Na repeated what Zhuo Xiang said just now in Persian without any misleading. Chinese teacher."

That's what they said, but even if they can privately hire teachers who are proficient in their own language and Chinese, it is still unknown whether they can enter Miyagi.Not to mention, they know very well that it is impossible to find anyone who can understand Chinese in their own country.

"If..." Aisha showed a humble side and asked Ye Na: "We will be extremely grateful if you can teach us Chinese."

Helena said before Yena said, "I can speak many languages, including Persian and Chinese. Maybe I can help you."

Yena was smiling the whole time, even when Helena actually cut her beard off.

They are all foreigners who have come to a strange land and may live here until they grow old.

After going to a strange land, people will only be divided into locals and outsiders, and it is very understandable for outsiders to group together.

Their identities are a little bit special, at least before they understand the situation, no one knows what the attitude of the "old people" including the queen is, so it is a very sensible choice to hug together first to keep warm.

The first person to be named was Ye Na, she was surprised when she heard her name, she glanced at Helena and hurried in.

Helena was completely stunned.She took it for granted that she would be the first person to enter. She never thought that the queen of the Han Empire would choose the Persian princess.

"Rome... has always been stronger than Persia..." Helena's face was very ugly: "The Han Empire should know this!"

Helena secretly pulled Helena's clothes and shouted in a low voice: "Sister."

Of course, Helena wouldn't get angry here, but she was very upset inside.

It didn't take long, maybe 5 minutes or so?Ye Na walked out with a face full of bewilderment.

Before the other princess could ask anything, the name of another princess came out, and it was Helena who was called.

Nicole asks the question everyone wants to know: "What's it like to be inside?"

"Ah...?" Ye Na was still dazed, as if she hadn't recovered from something: "I didn't see the queen..."

It didn't take long for Helena to come out. When she came out, she simply leaned against the wall and panted heavily, unable to answer Helena's question at all.

"What's the situation?" Helena tried her best but couldn't figure out what happened to the people who went in, and why they all lost their minds after they came out: "Is it terrible?"

The third person to be named was Nicole. She also came out after staying for less than 5 minutes. She also couldn't describe what happened inside.

Facing the people who went in and came out with the same appearance, those who have not yet entered will inevitably feel uneasy.

Helena was finally called. When entering the hall, her sight was blocked by a landscape, and she turned a corner to see what the inside of the hall looked like.

Compared with the magnificence of other places, the hall does not have too complicated colors, and even looks empty, with only dark red floors and carved beams, and the light in most places is relatively dim, supporting the only strong light. The location is dazzling.

The most surprising thing for Helena was that there was no one in the hall. She took a few steps forward, and happened to be called to stop at the position where the sun was shining, and stood there.

[The queen is behind the beaded curtain of Your Majesty? 】Helena stood under the strong light, and could feel quite a lot of eyes looking at her. Because the light was too strong, she even had a weird feeling that she was seen through: [Why is there no one, I need to be like this all the time Stand for how long? 】

Your majesty is a step, which is specially used to refer to the steps of the emperor's palace. This is why the emperor is called your majesty.

Except for the voice of Rang standing there, no one spoke after that, and the hall was completely silent.

Standing in the only place where the sun shines, and being in a quiet space, I can feel that I am being watched at the same time. The feeling is very difficult to describe. Anyway, I don’t feel better.

Helena, who was thinking wildly, couldn't help being stunned when she heard someone talking again, and then realized that she could leave.Now she finally understood why the person who came in earlier was in a trance.

"Cross her off the list."

Cui Wan was indeed sitting behind the bead curtain, and took a good look at all the foreign princesses who came in, including their appearance, figure and demeanor after they stood up.

Zhuo Xiang silently drew an "X" on Helena's name on the roster.

Another one with an "X" drawn is Nicole.

………Dividing line………

Recently, my body and spirit are very bad, I keep coughing, I have a little fever, and I can't concentrate all the time.

Blue thin, mushrooms!
