Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1486, Daming's Winter in Tianzhu

Tianzhu mainland Ningguo.

Tang Peng got up early, because today is the most important sacrificial festival of the year. As the only local noble in the world, he needs to preside over the sacrificial activities, so he must get up early.

Tang Peng is from Jiangxi. Although he was just an ordinary commoner before, he didn't know a lot of big characters, and he didn't know it was a word when the pole was upside down, but he was the first person to follow Ning Guo to go to sea and establish a vassal state.

At the same time, he was also a member of Ningguo's army, participated in many wars of Ningguo's foreign countries, and made many contributions. He was also rewarded with a large piece of land and became a hereditary nobleman of this Tang town.

The original name of Tangdi Town is no longer relevant. Since it was named Tang Peng's hereditary fiefdom, Tang Peng renamed it Tangdi Town.

Tangdi Town is located in the plain of the Henghe River Basin, not far from Delhi. It is considered a fertile land with a large population and a prosperous economy. It can be said that it is very good to be sealed here.

Under the service of several Brahmin maids, Tang Peng put on gorgeous costumes, and then sat on the sedan chair, while several barking sedan chair bearers hurriedly carried the sedan chair to the Ganges River.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Tang Peng looked at his site very casually.

Tangdi town is located in the fertile Ganges plain and has a lot of fertile land.

In the past, all these lands belonged to a great Brahman noble, but later the Delhi Sultanate and the Brahmin nobles were completely defeated and wiped out by the Northern Expedition led by Ningguo. The Delhi Sultanate perished, and the nomadic tribes from Afghanistan ended ruled here.

At the same time, the original Brahmin aristocratic power also suffered the heaviest blow and lost its original high status.

A large amount of land fell from the hands of the original Brahmins and Kshatriyas into the hands of the ruling class of the Ning Kingdom, and then was generously rewarded by King Ning to his followers, troops, etc.

Moreover, King Ning also carried out reforms based on the original caste system of Tianzhu mainland, combined with his own situation, and established a new caste system, ranking the Han people above the Brahmins, calling them world nobles.

All castes on the Tianzhu continent must serve the nobles of the world. As the original ruling castes, Brahmin and Kshatriya were deprived of their privileges in land, religion, politics, etc., and many of the deprived privileges were all transferred to the nobles of the world. Come.

One of the most important powers is the power to host sacrifices.

Religion has an extremely important influence in Tianzhu Continent. Brahmins have mastered many religious powers before, which is equivalent to mastering the right to speak on Tianzhu Continent and the power to interpret God's will.

But now, this power belongs to the world nobles of the highest caste. Brahmins are only responsible for administering religious affairs for the world nobles. They have no power to explain the will of God, nor do they have the power to preside over sacrifices.

Today is the most important sacrificial day of the year, and the entire town of Tangdi was immersed in a sea of ​​celebration. A large number of Tianzhu women wore saris of various colors, and the men wore saris of various colors. The dye is smeared everywhere.

For these people, changing the ruler is not a big deal, anyway, the Tianzhu mainland has been continuously invaded and ruled by outsider invaders since ancient times.

From the earliest Aryans to Persians, Arabs, Afghans, etc., to the present Daming people, they are all the same for them.

They only need to endure the suffering in this life and practice a lot. In the next life, they can be reborn into a family of a high caste and live a good life of a high caste.

The high caste can live a good life because of their practice and difficulties in the previous life, so people of the high caste must enjoy happiness and live comfortably, so that they have the motivation to endure hardship in this life.

Serving the high caste and serving the high caste is what people of the low caste should do, and it is a kind of practice.

Major sacrificial festivals are important moments to measure their practice, so everyone and every household should celebrate as much as possible.

On the bank of the Henghe River, countless people have already gathered here. The local Brahmins and Kshatriyas are responsible for maintaining order, preparing for sacrifice-related work, and patiently waiting for the arrival of Tang Peng, the highest caste in the world.

Only with the support of the nobles of the world can the sacrifice directly reach the gods. After all, the nobles of the world are the incarnations of gods in the world, and everyone must serve the nobles of the world well.

As for the Vedas and Sudras at the bottom, they are all waiting patiently at this moment, each holding a bowl, which contains precious things such as gold, silver and jewelry.

After the sacrifice is over, they need to give these precious things to the world nobles of the highest caste first.

Well, this is also a kind of practice. This life is destined to be suffering. Only by enduring suffering, silently dedicating, and serving the nobles of the world can one be reborn in the highest caste in the next life and enjoy the worship of countless people.

Therefore, the more offerings, the deeper your practice, the greater the chance of being reborn in the highest caste in the next life. If you don’t practice deeply, then you may be reborn in a lower caste family in your next life. You still have to continue practicing and endure. ordeal.

Instead of suffering for a lifetime, it is better to suffer a lot and endure pain in this life, so that you can directly reincarnate into the highest caste in the next life.

Everyone gave as much as possible of the gold and silver treasures in the family.

Although they themselves are very poor, and many people don’t even have complete silver dollars in their bowls, they are all very broken and broken silver coins, but they are all full of expectations, looking forward to their sufferings in exchange for the next life blessings.

Tang Peng came to the sacrificial altar by the river in a sedan chair. Following Tang Peng's arrival, under the leadership of a Brahmin, all the surrounding people knelt down in unison. Suddenly, the entire river bank was covered in darkness. people.

"Hmm~"

Tang Peng nodded as usual.

In the beginning, he was really not used to it. When he was in Daming, he was just an ordinary citizen, but here he became the world's noble of the highest caste.

But gradually I got used to it, and even took it for granted.

The people of Ming Dynasty are of course the most noble people, they dominate the whole world, and it is very appropriate to be called the nobles of the world. As for these ignorant Tianzhu people, most of them don't even know what the outside world is like. of ignorance.

In front of them, Daming people are naturally the most noble.

"Great nobles of the world~ The preparations for the sacrifice have been completed."

The Brahmin nobleman in charge of the sacrificial activities came to Tang Peng's side, touched Tang Peng's shoes lightly with his hands, and then put them on his head to express his respect.

"Well, let's start~"

Tang Peng nodded in satisfaction, then slowly boarded the sacrificial altar, then took up the sacrificial gold utensils and made some sacrificial gestures, praying to the Ganges in front of him in Daming dialect: "Great Ganges, Please have mercy on your people, bestow blessings on them, so that their practice can be rewarded!"

Today's sacrifice is the Ganges River, which is the most important annual sacrifice day on the Tianzhu continent. Of course, this is also the day when Tang Peng, the world's nobleman in Tangdi Town, collects offerings.

Although in normal times, all the land, minerals, resources, etc. in Tangdi Town belong to Tang Peng, half of the land output, mineral output, etc. here must be handed over to Tang Peng, and then Tang Peng can keep The remaining [-]% ​​must be handed over to the Ningguo treasury.

Half of the tax can be said to be very heavy. Originally, King Ning thought it should be similar to Daming's side, but after consulting the local Brahmins, he realized that the tax should be as high as possible.

In this way, the people of these lower castes will not live a good life, they will have tribulations, and they will believe that this life is a practice. If the life is too good, they will not believe it.

So after some adjustments, Ningguo's taxation is set in this way. The Ningguo treasury receives [-]%, and the hereditary world nobles from all over the world take [-]%. If there are no hereditary nobles, [-]% will belong to the Ningguo treasury.

After some prayers, the most important part of the sacrificial activity was completed.

Next came the stage of offering offerings.

Tang Peng sat carelessly on the sacrificial altar, under the statue, and under the steps in front of Tang Peng was a huge tripod, which was cast in bronze according to the customs and specifications of the Ming Dynasty. It is used to hold the gold, silver and jewelry worshiped by these low caste people.

"The worship begins!"

Followed by the Brahmin monk shouted in Daming words.

Soon, people from the Brahmin caste came to the cauldron one by one with bowls in their hands. First, they solemnly put the gold, silver and jewelry in the bowl into the cauldron, then touched the cauldron gently with their hands, and then came to the cauldron. Kneeling in front of Tang Peng is considered to be the completion of the offering.

The entire enshrinement ceremony was very long, because there were too many people, one after another, there were more than [-] people in Tangdi Town, and it took a whole day to complete this enshrinement ceremony.

Tang Peng sat on the chair, looking very bored, but he couldn't leave. He had to sit here to accept the worship and offering. This offering belonged to Tang Peng personally and didn't need to be handed over to the Ningguo treasury. It was his most important one. income.

"It's really boring. If this kind of life continues like this, I will be useless."

"I finally understand why many people would rather emigrate to other places than hereditary fiefdoms. These days are simply boring."

"It should be snowing here in my hometown now. If it snows on Lushan Mountain, it must be beautiful!"

Tang Peng's thoughts drifted a little far away, thinking of the winter in his hometown of Lushan, Jiangxi.

　The control of religion is really scary~
