Chapter 820

If it is only distinguished by style, Iraq is no different from most parts of the Middle East. It is the same Gobi and desert everywhere. It is difficult to find natural shade. If there are any, it is absolutely artificial.

After entering Iraq, Wang Meng and others found that the population in places that have been full of war is surprisingly large, and the settlement situation is relatively concentrated.

"Oh." Varoli "The environment in southern Iraq is a little worse. They can only live in places with fixed water sources," ustans explained

This is the case in the Middle East. In many areas, even if you dig hundreds of meters, you can't dig water. Only a few places can dig a little more than ten meters to dig water.

In fact, the Middle East is not short of rivers, but streams are scarce, which is determined by the local geographical location and climate itself. Although there is a lack of water here, after the invention of the internal combustion engine, the extremely important oil in the world is the largest and most concentrated in the world.

After entering Iraq for hundreds of miles, the Han mission paused. The higher status of Wang Meng and other missions was arranged in a manor. It was said that it was originally the home of a prince or some great nobleman.

Different from other places where there is yellow sand at a glance, the manor is full of flowers and trees, as well as some very beautiful fountains and pools, which makes Wang Meng and others who have had enough of sand all the way get the greatest relaxation.

Marcus Maka, varoli Ustans and Mosen Hadidan also lived in the manor. They surprisingly didn't have much gunpowder to coexist peacefully, and they could sit down and drink a few glasses of wine happily.

"We have the same task now. How can we tolerate fire and water?" Morrison Hadidan told the truth: "we will put aside the dispute until you leave."

Wang Meng has made a special understanding of the gratitude and hatred between the Persians and Romans. No matter how the Persians and Romans change their dynasties, they have fought for hundreds of thousands of years. They can reach a consensus peacefully, mainly the Han state, which is very important for both Persian sassanne and Rome.

A powerful country is like this. Even if it is tens of thousands of miles away, as long as people know that it is powerful, they should be afraid of anything they want to do. In particular, that powerful country can make an expedition across the sea for tens of thousands of miles and exaggeratedly send tens of thousands of troops to the other mainland. No one wants to provoke such a powerful country.

As an envoy from a powerful country, Wang Meng can better understand the treatment he received as a member of a powerful country from the courtesy specifications of Persia and the attention from Rome. He accepted all kinds of attention and convenience with ease, and didn't feel anything wrong at all.

Of course, Wang Meng is very clear that this attitude is based on the premise that both Persian sassanne and Rome demand the Han state. Once the differences of interests cannot be bridged, what should we do? Persian sassanne and Rome may be afraid of the Han state, but it is really impossible to be afraid of the Han state to be arbitrarily bullied or blackmailed.

At the time of taixifeng, Wang Meng had signed relevant documents on behalf of Liu Yan and Shapur II. In fact, it was not a big deal, that was, the trade relations were determined in the form of national credentials. In short, the Han and Persians could trade goods between the two places, and the two countries had the responsibility to ensure the safety of each other's personnel in their own territory.

It is also particularly solemn in the credentials that if the personnel of the two countries break the law, they are based on the local law, but they are not tried separately by one country, but should be tried by the joint court.

Wang Meng didn't fight for legal immunity, or the Han people broke the law and could only be handed over to the Han country for treatment. The Persians may not know so many curves, but they were not stupid enough to agree, and the result became the standard process mentioned above.

"Do you carry the same credentials when you go to Constantinople?" Marcus Maka took it very seriously when she knew about it: "if so, I need to send someone to bring a letter first."

Wang Meng didn't think there was anything to hide. He nodded and said, "generally, yes, the details need to be determined during the interview."

They were chatting on a half covered balcony, next to a fountain spraying water, and a pool (swimming pool?) located on the second floor. At the bottom, a group of dancers danced Miaoman's dance in music on a small platform.

The dancers are from Persia. They are Mohsen Hardidan took it all the way. There were many performances on the way. Unfortunately, several dancers died of illness, including Mosen The Persians, including hadidan, who were high above the world, didn't care. Instead, some Han people, such as Wang Meng, offered to buy Ningxiang Xiyu, but they were rejected.

Morrison Hadidan has a reason to refuse. Those dancers are the property of Zoroastrians. If only a few of them can make decisions, they are not qualified to decide the sale.

From such a thing, Wang Meng can see that whether Arabs or Persians, or central Asia, West Asia and the Middle East, the status of women on their side is frighteningly low, which is almost the same as that of poultry or livestock.

The women in Zhuxia have different social status in different periods. Generally speaking, they are not as miserable as the Middle East. There have even been periods when women were in power. Even if women are not in power, their social status is really not low. At least, they do not clearly stipulate that women's social status is low from the law, and there is no law to specifically stipulate that they can't do things that men can do, let alone use the law to stipulate that if they reveal anything, they will be stoned to death.

In terms of the current special period when the proportion of men and women in China is unbalanced, too many men can't find their own partners. It's too late to get a mother-in-law happy. It's impossible to beat and scold at any time. Cherish is the mainstream. What is relatively fatal is that the current Han state continues the policy of the former Han Dynasty. It is not only men who can file a divorce lawsuit with the government. If women feel they can't live with their husbands, they can also file a divorce lawsuit.

Liu Yan once joked that the serious imbalance in the proportion of men and women in society may lead to a unique social phenomenon, that is, men have to please women, wait for women to take it for granted, and even evolve into women's respect and inferiority in their relationship. It is estimated that the next generation of men will be miserable.

The more you lack something, the greater the competition. Naturally, you have to pay more if you want to get it. As a person who is being competed in the process, it is rare that you will not have a proud mood. That is something that will not change in the tone of competition.

After seeing off several outsiders, Dou ah complained: "there has been a phenomenon of making trouble without reason. They are afraid that their mother-in-law will run away and don't dare to hardtop. No matter how it goes on, there will be no masculinity."

Wang Meng was stunned. His wife was selected by Liu Yan from Cui. Although the wife educated by a large family sometimes showed a strong side, she never crossed the line when she should respect him, and it was difficult to understand what Dou a said.

"We have a long way to go!" Dou ah almost gnashed his teeth and said, "get enough women back, and when they are no longer rare, see if they can do that."

Wang Meng was stunned again and guessed that Dou a had been choked by his wife.

There are many tasks for their envoys on this trip. The formal submission of credentials with Persian sassanne and Rome is on the one hand, trade is the top priority, and the purchase of food and women is the most important.

After entering Persia, Wang Meng purchased a lot of grain, but the later he bought, the less grain he bought. On the contrary, he bought more slaves.

"Bossasan is in turmoil. It's right not to buy more food." Cai Mian smiled bitterly and continued: "we keep throwing money out. Persians don't try hard to catch Arabs, Cypriots and Yueshi people... Anyway, no matter who it is, it's just a matter of giving orders to the army to those governors, let alone fighting themselves."

It's certainly a good thing to get slaves. Wang Meng also knows that it is aggravating the contradiction between Persian Sassanian and other nationalities, but it's a thing that one wants to buy and another is willing to catch people to sell. Don't blame anyone.

"Then if we go on, we won't have an alien daughter-in-law?" Dou A is not a bloodline. He just said out of an inexplicable tradition, "will there be any hair color in the future, or will the child have white skin?"

This is a very serious problem, which has been seriously discussed in the center. According to Sang Yu, he wants to legislate. For example, if his appearance is different from black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, he has no right to inherit the title.

"The legislation will not be passed." Wang Meng didn't get any news, In my own opinion: "Think about it. When the big Han entered the western regions, he has obtained more than 100000 white skinned women. They will become the wives of the Han people and will certainly produce future generations. Most of the Han people who entered the western regions will obtain titles, even if they do not show titles. Who can guarantee that the children will look like Han people? What will they do once the legislation is passed?"

It is not only in the western regions that the women returned to China are different from the Han people's appearance. There are not few people with dark skin on the Indochina Peninsula. Then there are more dark skin on the a San side, that is, what they get back from some places such as the peninsula and the Japanese islands is not much different from the Han people's appearance.

"Another legislation will definitely be passed." The expression on Wang Meng's face began to become strange, but he had to say in a serious tone: "for those with a doctor's title or above, the wife can only be a Han woman, but there can be a Han concubine, which can be changed upward."

Dou ah didn't understand. He asked intentionally. Cai Mian next to him spoke first.

"It's just that more Han women get married as regular wives, or..." Cai sighed and said dully: "otherwise, if you think, without restrictions, the higher the status, the more Han women don't have, so the rest have to marry a different race."

"After all, the center is afraid..." Dou a understood: "afraid of the situation we just said."

"I'm afraid anyway." Cai Mian did not hide: "if our generation worked hard to make the country strong and rich, it would be made up of a group of blond and red hair... Anyway, it's not black hair. It's bad to enjoy everything we create and think about it a little."

Wang Meng remembered the past. At that time, he was Liu Yan's personal secretary lang. he always served Liu Yan and listened to more words. He remembered that Liu Yanyou said similar topics. At that time, Liu Yan expressed a very clear meaning. Naturally, he refused a group of people who didn't look like Han people to enjoy the creative achievements, but it wasn't up to them to decide. It was the national situation that decided the future.

To put it bluntly, if there are not enough Han women now, they must not attack and occupy the womb of other women. Under the premise of paternal society, in fact, no matter what the appearance of the children is, they are the kind of Han family. It seems that there is no waste of hard work and creative achievements, but it should be bad.

There are already some things in the state of Han. For example, a considerable number of families absolutely prohibit their children from marrying foreign women, and even concubines can not be foreign women. They feel that if there are foreign families in their family blood, they are tarnishing their ancestors. What makes them speechless is that the center seems to promote the legislation that people with a certain identity take an alien woman as a concubine. Once it becomes a part of the Han law, they don't know what to do.

"What else can I do?" Cai Mian said something without scruples: "it's also something that can't be helped. The people who care about them are the same. Aren't they forced to resist some discriminatory policies?"

In fact, there is a way, that is, once the children born are not like the Han people, there will be no one like the Han people, but it is really cruel. At least the Han country will not issue such laws, and even the people can't do it spontaneously.

This is not the same thing as the right of the first night of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It is the Han family men who occupy the uterus of foreign women and give birth to children no matter what they look like. It is really their own blood. It is different from the Han family women's womb which is not their own.

No one spoke in the back. They were all in a daze. They looked at the pool or garden below from a distance. There were foreign women playing in those places. From time to time, there would be "Yingying" laughter.

"What can we do? We are desperate!" Dou ah roared "ah", decadent sat down on the vine chair, like lying half paralyzed. Next to him, an Arab woman immediately went up to the front of the wine. He subconsciously took a sip and drank it up: "it's better for us to rob and give birth to our blood than to be extinct or robbed by other races, isn't it?"

Cai Mian couldn't help laughing: "it's too exaggerated to say that extinction is a slow increase in population and extremely poor social security."

Wang Meng was a little confused. He thought for a long time. Why can't he remember how to enter this topic?
