Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1142, Ningguo's Caste System
In the southwest of the Tianzhu Continent, the original Guli City of the Guli Kingdom is now the capital of the Ning Kingdom, Anning City.

After a few days of sailing, Tong Yuan arrived in Ningguo very smoothly, and was going to take a rest here, and then go directly to Egypt after meeting King Ning.

Anning City was built on the basis of the original Guli. It has a natural deep-water harbor, and because it is located in West Tianzhu, it is on the main road of the Arabian Sea.

Coupled with King Ning's painstaking management over the years, the entire Anning City is quite large. The architecture of the Ming Dynasty and the original old style buildings merged together to form the current Anning City.

Tong Yuan stood on the deck of the ship, looking at the city of Anning in front of him.

In the huge port wharf area, ships are berthed and flags are flying. The wharf is extremely busy. A series of spacious concrete roads extend to the end of the industry, extending in all directions, and four-wheeled carriages full of goods are constantly flowing.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is truly a great talent. This Anning City already has the majestic appearance of a great city in the world."

Tong Yuan smiled and sighed to Li Shishi beside him.

"Haha, Mr. Tong has won the prize."

"Compared with Daming's city, our Anning City is still a bit behind."

Li Shishi said very modestly.

Then he took the lead to get off the boat, and officials from Ningguo came to greet him soon.

Tong Yuan got off the boat, and beside Tong Yuan, there were many Japanese people following him. They were the bodyguards of the Shimadzu family, and they were responsible for protecting Tong Yuan and others to go to Egypt safely.

This is the Shimadzu family showing their favor to Tong Yuan. Of course, the Shimadzu family will not do business at a loss. This time, the Shimadzu family is also planning to expand their family business to Egypt and the Mediterranean.

He had never had a chance before, but this time he happened to go to Egypt by protecting Tong Yuan, and also sent people to Egypt and the Mediterranean to see if there was any opportunity to expand his family's business.

After Li Shishi, Tong Yuan and others disembarked, Tong Yuan looked casually at the wharf where the ship was moored.

"Li Xiang, there are quite a few barbarians in Anning City."

Tong Yuan soon discovered an interesting phenomenon. There are a lot of barbarians in Anning City, and they can be seen almost everywhere. They are all the dark-skinned natives of Tianzhu. At the same time, you can also see a large number of tall, fair-skinned European slaves.

On the contrary, there were relatively few Daming people, and most of them looked like managers, hiding in shady places, eating watermelon while slaves fanned them.

"Our Ning Kingdom currently has a total population of [-] million people, of which only less than [-] are Ming people, and the rest are all local aborigines."

"These [-] million people are the people of our Ning Kingdom. In addition, there are more than [-] million slaves in our Ning Kingdom. Most of these slaves are sold from various places in Tianzhu. In addition, there are a small number of Kunlun slaves and slaves. White slave."

Li Shishi nodded slightly after thinking about it, and introduced Ningguo's population structure in detail.

"Aren't there too few people in Daming?"

"There are so many local aborigines, and there are more than two million slaves, isn't it dangerous?"

When Tong Yuan heard this, he immediately asked anxiously.

"It's really too little~"

"That's why our lord has been recruiting people from Daming, North Korea, and Wa. As long as we Daming people are willing to immigrate to our Ning country, we will directly reward thousands of acres of land and dozens of slaves."

"But so far we only have less than [-] Ming people."

Li Shishi said helplessly: "In addition to the two capitals and thirteen provinces in our homeland, our Ming Dynasty owns too much land overseas."

"South Seas, Australia, Golden Continent, Liaodong, Northern Grasslands, Western Regions, Hezhong, Nanyun Province, plus a large number of vassal states and colonies, we have too many choices for Ming immigrants."

"Even though the conditions we have given are very generous, and it is land, and it is directly given to slaves, but there are still very few people who are willing to immigrate here."

"Most of these [-] people are still from the old prince's old department and his entourage in Nanchang, Jiangxi and other places, villages and other places."

"However, although the number of our Ming people is relatively small, the rule of our Ning country is still very stable."

"People here are generally religious, and the caste system is deeply rooted. They believe in the afterlife, and believe that the suffering and sins they have suffered in this life will be rewarded in the next life."

"So we took advantage of it, introduced Buddhism and Taoism, and publicized to them that our Ming people are the most noble caste, and all castes are our Ming people's servants. As long as they serve our Ming people, they can be reborn as Ming people in the next life." Humans are born noble."

"At first, the local Brahmins and Kshatriyas were unwilling to accept this, but we used butcher knives to make them understand their status, and after opening the killing ring, they gradually accepted this."

"As for those people at the bottom, most of them are ignorant and ignorant. If you tell them this is the case, they are willing to believe it, and even take it for granted. They don't need us to do anything, and they even take the initiative to do it. Maintain such a caste system."

Li Shishi couldn't help laughing when he said this.

It was ridiculous for the people here. To be honest, he had never seen such ignorant and ignorant people. Just a caste system made Ningguo's rule extremely stable.

"Is there such a thing?"

Tong Yuan was a little dumbfounded. Although he had read similar reports in the newspapers before, he always felt a little unbelievable. Now that Li Shishi said this, he immediately felt very unbelievable.

"Haha, don't you think it's unbelievable?"

"But this is the most real situation on Tianzhu's side."

"At the beginning, our lord wanted to treat these people equally, but he didn't expect that the internal relationship between these people had exploded. Those Brahmins and Kshatriyas felt that they were treated the same as the Vekas and Sudras. Insults, so that the rule of various places has become unstable."

"So we simply added these things to the caste system. Unexpectedly, they took it for granted, and the turmoil in various places quickly subsided."

"Later, we made some changes in combination with Daming's household registration system, and told them that as long as they suffer all their lives without any fault, every three generations, we Ningguo can raise his caste to one level, such as the original chief The Dhara caste was promoted to Veka."

"The bark was promoted to Kshatriya, and the Kshatriya was promoted to Brahmin. As for the Brahmin caste, we gave them the Han surname, which is equivalent to becoming the highest caste of the Daming people."

"Of course, in addition to this, as long as you leave a lot of credit, learning Chinese characters, converting to Buddhism and Taoism, etc., you can also improve your caste level and so on."

"In short, under such a system, although there are only [-] Ming people in Ning Kingdom, the rule is very stable, and almost everyone is very happy to accept such a system."

"The former Brahmins are now actively assisting us. A few of them have performed well, and now they have been given Chinese surnames by our prince and changed their Chinese names."

"As for the Sudras and Vekas at the bottom, they are also full of motivation now, because as long as they work hard and pay taxes actively, they can be promoted to a higher level in just three generations, which is unprecedented in the Tianzhu continent. Their caste has not changed since it was passed down from their ancestors."

"A Sudra will always be a Sudra, and all descendants will be Brahmans, and Brahmans will always be Brahmins, and all descendants will be Brahmins."

"Now as long as three generations have worked hard and endured hardships, they can be promoted to a higher level, which makes them full of hope."

When he said this, Li Shishi couldn't help showing a smug smile, because he was the one who came up with this set of things, and he succeeded in stabilizing the rule of Ningguo.

"It takes three generations to raise a level?"

After Tong Yuan heard it, he couldn't help shaking his head immediately.

"On our Daming side, people from other tribes can be promoted to third-class citizens as long as they change their Chinese surnames to Chinese names. If they can speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, they can also be promoted to second-class citizens. Isn't it too much on your side? It's darker."

"This is already the biggest concession. You must know that when I formulated this system, I encountered strong opposition from the local Brahmins and Kshatriyas."

"They think that Sudras should always be Sudras, no matter how many generations they are, they should not be promoted. They have to suffer and suffer, and redeem their sins, so that they can devote themselves to the high caste to enjoy happiness in the next life."

"I am extremely opposed to this plan of raising caste. Later, His Royal Highness Prince Ning resisted all opinions and passed such a plan."

Li Shishi said with a smile.

These are extremely speechless things in the eyes of Daming people, but here they are justified.

People in Ming Dynasty believe that princes and generals have kindred, but people here in Tianzhu think that princes and generals have kindred, lowly untouchables will always be untouchables, they are born to serve the high caste, and let the high caste enjoy the blessing , only in this way can you become a high caste in your next life.

There is no way, for Ningguo's rule, King Ning and others can only formulate such a system, and adapt to local conditions, so that Ningguo's rule can be stabilized.

The [-] Daming people have become the most noble caste in Ning Country. They are high above and control everything in Ning Country. The original Brahmins, Kshatriyas, etc., are all servants of the highest caste Daming people and serve them.

Servants who can become Daming people are still a symbol of nobility, because under servants, there are pariahs and slaves, which are even worse.

　Is this going too far?
