Chapter 1012

"The shapes of these buildings are very similar to those of big men!"

Ran min walked in the smallpox female temple. He had looked around the periphery. At present, he is looking at the internal pattern.

It was only 13 days before they arrived at the Tianzhu capital protectorate. They spent all their time on the shore. They only took a cursory look along the way. When they arrived in Fahrenheit City, they were in the mood to understand ah San's culture.

Fahrenheit city is a San's own name. If transliterated, it should actually be called Patna. However, Han people prefer the name Fahrenheit city to Patna.

It is said that Fahrenheit City, the original capital of the stone Peacock Dynasty, was built more than 500 years ago. At first, it was the capital of the country. Later, it became a gathering place of religion 1, and gradually became a holy land of religion 1.

"In the legend of ah San, a considerable number of people have become saints here." Qian Jiantong, of course, wanted to entertain ran min and others. Just because his official business was not busy, he personally served as a tour guide: "they also call it the capital of saints."

"Ridiculous!" Ran min not only retorted, but also sneered and said, "just them, are there saints?"

As long as it is a nation with a long history, in fact, it will have its own saints, which is whether other nations accept it or not.

"Who knows." Qian Jiantong won't go against ran min, and there's no need: "it's true that ah San was brilliant for a time."

The so-called glory is not false, because they once had great unity and once became a country with the largest territory in the world.

The Peacock Dynasty occupied almost all the land of the Indian continent, leaving only a small tail in the south. The time from the founding of the Peacock Dynasty to its demise was shorter, only 136 years. The real unification was less than 50 years, and then it was divided into nearly 100 countries and city states, large and small.

"The family of the founder of the Peacock Dynasty is also named Gupta?" Zhang Shi is one of the three Marquis who came to Tianzhu capital to protect the mansion this time. He asked curiously, "does it have anything to do with the Gupta Empire we just destroyed?"

This is the question of Qian Jiantong.

The first king who established the Peacock Dynasty was Chandragupta. Because they were a family raising peacocks, the established Dynasty was also called the Peacock Dynasty.

Chandragupta's historical title in asan is Asoka, and if translated in Chinese, it is called moon protector. His rise is full of all kinds of miracles, which should be said to be an example of heroes created by the times.

At that time, it happened that a Macedonian named Alexander unified Greece and led the army to continue the eastern expedition. First, he defeated the Persian Empire and occupied all the territory of Persia. After that, he was not satisfied and marched eastward again.

At the beginning, Alexander invaded northern India and occupied most of northern India in a very short time.

Ah San's historical record of Alexander's disastrous defeat in India is actually not the same thing.

According to the records of the Greeks, the soldiers who followed Alexander on the eastern expedition at that time had made enough war money and were physically and mentally exhausted. In the face of India, which was still a mountain forest, they really didn't want to continue the eastern expedition. The soldiers were unwilling to fight again, and Alexander had to retreat to the West.

Ah San did have a frontal battle with Alexander, but looking at the full fall of North India, what words are used to describe how powerful ah San is and how pale he is.

Chandragupta rose because he found that the Greek rule in northern India was getting weaker and weaker, seized the opportunity to form an army and persuaded a considerable number of local nobles.

They drove away the residual power of the Greeks in Punjab, gained great reputation for this, and then set foot on the smooth road of unifying India by defeating the Greeks.

"Ah San's record of this man is very mysterious." Qian Jiantong was just telling the truth: "it is indeed very mysterious. He scared most ah San not to fight by relying on his record of driving away the Greeks. It is better to say that he unified the credibility by force than to obtain the power of rule by means of intimidation."

"So..." ran min just listened quietly and commented, "most of the assassins have not really succumbed to Chandragupta. The Peacock Dynasty, which seems to be in a unified state, actually has ghosts in the central and local governments?"

"It's really like this." Qian Jiantong jokingly said, "if we insist on a comparison, the Peacock Dynasty is probably similar to the middle period of our Zhou royal family. However, the first king of the Peacock Dynasty is still alive, there are continuous separatist wars. In addition to no new national title, the south is actually in a state of division."

It may not sound so good, but that is the current situation of the Peacock Dynasty, and it was like that when Chandragupta was still alive. It can also be seen from here how unstable Chandragupta's rule is. Otherwise, living is likely to fall apart at any time. It can't be seen that it should be a unified country.

"Asan, Yueshi and Cypriots generally think highly of Chandragupta." Qian Jiantong's remarks are well founded: "although Chandragupta's rule was unstable, he fought and won against Seleucus, the world's largest power at that time, and once attacked Central Asia and occupied part of Central Asia (Afghanistan)."

Ran min knew that Seleucus was the Empire. What he knew was that the Empire called Seleucus was once the most glorious in the world.

"Look at the buildings here. I can't see the traces left by the Greeks." Zhang Shi touched the carving on the wall: "this is very similar to our picture of heavenly women scattered flowers."

In fact, it was a sculpture of the dancing of demons, which told the background story of demons bewitching a goddess who was about to become a Taoist goddess.

Out of the smallpox temple, people looked down from high and could see the Ganges in the distance.

Fahrenheit city itself is on the South Bank of the Ganges River. It is located in the highland. It can not only read a long river section, but also see the scenery on the north bank.

"What are they doing?" Ran min pointed to the Bank of the river: "Why are there bonfires everywhere?"

There are a lot of people on the Bank of the river. Some are taking a very boring walk, some are taking a bath, and some are grooming all kinds of things.

The above are normal, but the bodies wrapped in white cloth after burning a campfire don't look so normal.

There are not only cremation on the river bank, but also people who put corpses wrapped in white cloth on rafts and push them out to drift with the waves.

Ran min looked through a telescope and his cheek twitched a few times: "this river..."

"Ah San called it the holy river." Qian Jiantong never ate the water of the Ganges River: "they think the water there is very sacred and all sins can be taken away by the Ganges River."

"Bathing and grooming will make the water dirty. It's nothing to drink ignorant." Zhang Shi was also watching with a telescope: "people are cremated on the bank and even put the bodies into the river. How can they..."

If you stand high enough and can see further with a telescope, you will really find that there are enough floating things on the river. Human bodies are because a San has the custom of water burial in the Ganges. The problem is that there are a large number of cow bodies.

"There is no prohibition from the guards?" Ran min did not feel uncomfortable watching the dead: "so... There will be no plague?"

"Before the last general took office, Huan Shangshu was forbidden, but..." Qian Jiantong didn't know what kind of expression to use. He simply used an expression that couldn't cry or laugh: "we know it's dirty and extremely easy to outbreak plague, but ah San resisted very resolutely, even more resolutely than the resistance in the war to destroy the country."

"..." ran min twitched his cheek and whispered, "strange ah San."

"Ah San attaches great importance to the afterlife." Qian Jiantong is going to be the protector of the Tianzhu capital, No longer willing to understand all aspects of ah San: "they think that for the suffering of this life, they are practicing or accumulating blessings in the afterlife. Ganges is their holy river. They believe that this river can wash away sins and reincarnate in a good family in the afterlife. At the same time, they also have a legend of relying on this Ganges to reach the kingdom of God."

Ran min is more concerned about whether the Ganges River, which is casually thrown into the body, can see rotten bodies everywhere and whether it has caused a plague.

"This sounds strange." Qian Jiantong looked incredible: "the temperature in Tianzhu is generally high, but there has been no large-scale plague. According to a San's literature records, there has been no plague caused by the Ganges River."

"Is it because the river is running water?" Zhang Shi touched his chin: "probably that's the only explanation."

Qian Jiantong is more inclined that ah San has been used to such an environment. In a scientific way, he has stronger antibodies than others.

It's like eating too much gutter oil. Slowly, human cells have the corresponding adaptability.

Then, when you eat more genetically modified food, the human body will slowly adapt.

If you grow up without eating gutter oil and genetically modified food, you will have problems when you eat it. The difference is how big the problem is.

"Religion has completely abolished this nation." Qian Jiantong said "afterlife theory". He didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed: "the group called Dalits is submissive to everything except not to touch their fanaticism about religion. We know that a nation has always been inseparable from the base layer that can grow. Once the base layer collapses, the nation will cut off the future."

In other words, the Zhuxia model is that the people as the grass-roots level, the key is that the people have no pursuit, only want the afterlife, and live in all kinds of confusion in this life.

People's desire is the source of progress, because with the desire for something, they will work hard to make money, and they will create while making money.

People should also have ideals and be willing to struggle for that ideal. Then in the process of struggle, there will be sparks of wisdom and contribute to the overall progress.

"This is a nation whose class has been solidified. We all know that." Ran min didn't say that Zhuxia was once like that in the Three Kingdoms, the Western Jin Dynasty and the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He affirmed Qian Jiantong's statement and said: "the grass-roots level is completely abolished. If those people who are the elite live and dream again, it's just hehe."

"That's right." Qian Jiantong thought of something and jokingly said, "something has happened recently."

Slave riots took place within the Han Empire, and Han people took part in some parts.

Something has happened in the newly occupied areas outside the mainland, such as the Indochina Peninsula and the Nanyang islands.

So far, the tianzhudu protectorate in mainland A-San has generally tended to be stable.

Qian Jiantong said that a considerable number of Brahmans reported to each other, and the statements were surprisingly consistent. Either the Romans or Persians bewitched or bought a Brahman.

"The big men did not cancel their privileges, and even strengthened their privileges to some extent." Qian Jiantong said about the Han Empire's policy towards the a'sangao caste: "the Han Dynasty will also provide convenient channels for the people of the Qin Dynasty and the Persians to buy luxury goods that are difficult to obtain."

Ran min knew this and knew better that it was the policy of the Emperor himself.

"Of course, not all Brahmans are treated equally and will be treated differently, so that they can understand that only by obeying the great man and being loyal to the son of heaven can they ensure the current luxury life and even live a more moist life." Qian Jiantong now understood the power of that policy: "they not only denounced each other, but also arrested Daqin and Persians who went to bewitch and buy."

Brahmans on the third side never think they are the same nation as the rest of the third. It doesn't matter how miserable the bottom is. It's true as long as they can live well.

At the same time, on the side of the A-San continent, as long as the Brahmans don't want chaos, they will suppress the sardili. Then, as the largest number of Dalits, no matter how miserable they suffer, they will choose to endure.

"They donated a lot of money and shouted the slogan 'as long as there is another ah San, the big man will never give in'." Qian Jiantong's expression on his face was very painful: "I'm willing to contribute money and be a pioneer to fight against bad ministers."

Ran min's face was like eating shit.

More people find it funny and wonder what's going on in a San's brain circuit.

"Your Majesty, holy!" Zhang Shi is talking about Liu Yan's policy towards ah San: "just arming ah San... Isn't it necessary?"

Qian Jiantong had a different view. After he came to the Tianzhu capital guard, he carefully observed the class of sadili of a San. It must be admitted that as a soldier, sadili, who has turned to force for generations, is still quite qualified, especially their obedience to Brahman is almost unconditional.

It would be a hidden danger for a chadili group to stay. It would be a good practice to arm them and send them to fight with the Romans, Persians or any enemy of the Han Empire.

"Daqin people and Persians..." ran min thought about the overall situation: "can't bear it at last?"

It has to be said that ran min's blood is boiling all over his body. The original purpose of coming to the A3 continent was to inspect his country, but now he can't wait to fly back to Chang'an
