After Being Hit By A Car At The Beginning, Iron Man Became An Adopted Brother

Chapter 253: The Forest Is Getting Bigger (Today’S Chapter)

Ren Woxing reads newspapers every day, especially foreign news. Every time I read it, I feel that the world is so vast, and I used to be like a frog in a well.

"It turns out that there is a vast continent on the other side of the sea. It takes many years to sail to the New World. And in the past, our Silk Road was only halfway through, and a lot of money was made by middlemen. No wonder we used to go to the Western Regions as envoys The envoys are always blocked, it turns out that it is the middlemen who are causing trouble.”

Ren Woxing felt that these middlemen were so abominable. It was said that one time the envoys from the Celestial Empire had arrived in the Mediterranean and were about to go to the west. But the middlemen said that it would take three years of food preparation to cross the Mediterranean, so they gave up. In fact, traveling in the Mediterranean trading circle does not require three years of dry food.

If it took three years to prepare to cross the Mediterranean, there would be no trade circle at all. But the messenger didn't know, so he went home.

The most enjoyable thing about middlemen is that they can make money by playing tricks on each other between the two forces.

The Eurasian continent has great plains at both ends that are relatively suitable for development, and in the middle is the Gobi desert with many oases. The Silk Road followed the oasis and headed west step by step.

"I used to hear that there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, but now it seems to be an exaggeration. They are just oases. They are connected to the Silk Road and rely on the Silk Road to make money. The rise and fall are all determined by the Silk Road, and Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, etc. also follow the Silk Road. Entering our country. Only in recent years have Japanese pirates come from the sea, bringing 487 things like ninjas. "Ren Woxing is very interested in the world and feels that changes in things have brought about changes in martial arts:" Interesting, I wonder if there are masters in Bodhidharma's hometown. Shi Qiang is really unreasonable. "Why don't you write more about Tianzhu?"

"Dad, Mr. Shi is very busy, so he wrote these in his spare time." Ren Yingying said.

"You girl, you are always talking to him before you marry him. You will definitely have no opinion after getting married." Ren Woxing could see that his daughter's heart had been abducted by Shi Qiang a long time ago, but he was not surprised, after all, Shi Qiang Qiang is great.

Ren Woxing wants to know about Tianzhu, and Shi Qiang will slowly satisfy his curiosity. Now there are many countries on the land of Tianzhu, mainly the Mughal Dynasty in the north. As for the south, it is still divided. Then there are many Eastern Tianzhu companies that occupy Tianzhu on the land of Tianzhu with the acquiescence of the Mughal Dynasty.

Tianzhu was also a trading circle and developed very early. It was one of the earliest civilizations to develop. Tianzhu's dry season and rainy season are two extremes. The dry season is very dry, while the rainy season is prone to flooding. Coupled with the hot weather, Tianzhu's development is also very fragmented.

Moreover, the land of Tianzhu is surrounded by rainforests, mountains, and seas, with only a gap in the northwest. Foreign enemies always invaded this gap, and Tianzhu was beaten again and again. But they (bjdc) are not afraid, because whoever comes in must accept their caste.

"Shi Qiang, why don't you write about Tianzhu? That is the Western Paradise." Ren Woxing said.

Shi Qiang smiled: "We in the Central Plains are still in the Eastern Paradise. People are like this, always envious of other people's things. People in the Central Plains think that the West is in the Paradise, but the West thinks that China is the Paradise.

"Isn't Tianzhu a paradise?"

"Buddhism has long declined in Tianzhu. When Tang Sanzang went to collect Buddhist scriptures, he lamented that Buddhism was no longer effective in Tianzhu. Tianzhu is now dominated by Brahmins, and both Jainism and Buddhism have declined. The Mughal Dynasty definitely also brought I have created a new religion, but unfortunately it is still no match for Brahmanism."

"Brahmanism?" Ren Woxing didn't know much about it: "Is it very powerful?"

"In the realm of Tianzhu, it can be said to be a myth of invincibility. Whether it is foreign ideas or new ideas formed within Tianzhu, they have to fight against Brahmanism. While Buddhism and Jainism have been defeated, Brahmanism remains standing. , do you think it’s powerful?”

"It's indeed powerful." Ren Woxing said, "But how come I haven't heard of such a powerful thing?"

"Because Tianzhu is suitable for Brahmins, other places are not." Shi Qiang said: "Buddhism is more popular in other places."

Ren Woxing understands Buddhism very well. Buddhism talks about the six paths of reincarnation and cultivation to become a Buddha. Moreover, everyone can become a Buddha. Who doesn't like this?

Studying requires spending money to buy books, but practicing Buddhism requires nothing. One day you will become a Buddha. Anyone can do it, even poor people can believe in Buddhism.

"Then why does Tianzhu prefer Brahmin?"

"Because Brahmanism emphasizes caste and enfeoffment, which allows Tianzhu people to gain status stably and cannot be changed from generation to generation. The sons of rats can dig holes."

"What is this kind of religion for? Just turn it against me." Ren Woxing dislikes oppression. Judging from his name, we know that he likes to be free. Brahmanism does not allow any

Let me do it.

"It's not that easy." Shi Qiang said: "For thousands of years, the Brahman religion has stood still and naturally has its own advantages. That is the alliance between nobles and nobles. In other places, the relationship between nobles and nobles is more competitive than cooperative. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period In this era, it was normal for nobles to fight each other. In the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, nobles also fought against nobles. In Rome, nobles would try to win over citizens, and nobles would fight against each other. But in Brahmanism, nobles cooperate more than compete. "

"Ah?" Ren Woxing was speechless. It was normal for him to compete. Even if the Sun Moon Sect still wanted to compete with the Five Sacred Sword Sect, "Why wouldn't they compete? Even if the Sun Moon Sect defeated the Five Sacred Sects, they would not compete." If the sword sect can develop, do all the nobles in Tianzhu have a Buddhist heart and cannot bear to kill people?"

Aristocratic war is the main theme of civilization, how could it not exist? In order to snatch water, nobles would kill and bleed in rivers, let alone snatch other resources.

Ren Woxing really cannot understand the idea of ​​non-competition.

Tianzhu's non-violence and non-cooperation is the embodiment of the idea of ​​non-competition. This is definitely not to say that there are really no resisters in Tianzhu, but the nobles in Tianzhu are generally willing to accept non-competition.

"The reason is very simple, because Tianzhu cannot be fought out. Tianzhu is completely surrounded geographically, with only one gap. There is still a large desert Gobi. If the mobilized people fight out, they will not be able to grab anything. In the end, the mobilized troops can only be in Tianzhu Internal fighting, this way of killing, even if you win the internal fighting, you may still be overthrown by the people, and if you lose, you will go directly to hell. It is better not to fight. If Village A and Village B only have one well, then. Prioritize nobles A and B and the common people who are vassals of the nobles and let them fend for themselves.

Shi Qiang said.

"Then why didn't the people resist?" Ren Woxing asked.

"Definitely resist, but if the people in one place resist and the nobles suppress them in multiple places, how can the people be opponents? The nobles and nobles are united through Brahmanism, but the people cannot unite. People in different places have different languages, writings, and customs. Different, there is no way to unite into a force. Besides, even if the people really succeed in their rebellion, they still have to accept the caste system. For example, the Maurya Dynasty in Tianzhu was a country established by a low caste, but in the end they still had to form an alliance with the nobles. "Shi Qiang said: "In short, the world is very big.

Each region has its own culture and system, which are time-tested experience summaries suitable for their survival. In some places, nobles would win over citizens to suppress the king and free people, and compete with other nobles. In some places, nobles and noble alliances work together to suppress and divide the people. In some places, the emperor enlisted the poor families to suppress the nobles. ’

Ren Woxing said: "The world is really magical. It is the final result of several confrontations. Even if it seems strange to us, it is consistent with their history. They are all human beings, but they are really diverse."

Shi Qiang fully agrees: "The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Thinking that we can't understand, but for them it is the wisdom of survival."
